Chapter 828 (1/2)
In the early morning of July 22, the 1st armored brigade of Moluo and the 4th armored brigade of Philippine met in the suburb of Tacloban and started a fierce exchange of fire.
The Philippines has invested 70 tanks, 120 infantry combat vehicles, 10 self-propelled guns and 30 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns. Among them, the tank units include 20 1A1 main battle tanks and various American armor. In addition, there is an enhanced support battalion to provide battlefield support.
For the Moro side, 60 tanks, 150 infantry vehicles and 20 self-propelled guns were invested. The main battle tanks are mainly T80, most of which are relatively backward T72.
However, although there is a lack of armored force, the addition of star ring trade armored forces has obviously reversed this situation.
The hunting tiger II with a-section steel front armor and 50 type electromagnetic gun is almost the existence of tank fighter vehicles in the battlefield. Although the tank independently developed by the last researchers lacks the experience of armored operations, the leading technology still fills in the short board of actual combat experience.
The armor piercing projectile of 1A1 can only damage the flank armor and turret of liehu II, while the armor of 1A1 is in front of type 50 electromagnetic gun, as long as the angle of impact is not too tricky, it is basically a rhythm of taking away.
At the same time, before the close contact between the two sides, the Artillery Force of star ring trade took the lead in using ”fireball 1”, and launched hundreds of EP rockets on the battlefield.
But interestingly, although the anti UAV equipment is useless, the anti EP weapons purchased by the Philippines from the United States are unexpectedly effective.
When the rocket on the side of the star ring trade launched, the Philippine armored units immediately emitted gray smoke.
This kind of smoke is composed of droplets with special content and diameter, which forms a simple ”Faraday cage” in the range of white fog, which plays a defensive role against EP for the electronic equipment wrapped in it.
However, the shortcomings of this original anti EP method are also very obvious. After being attached by droplets, the communication equipment of tanks and armored vehicles will fail for a period of time due to physical electromagnetic shielding.
But it has to be said that it is very effective in terms of life preservation.
At least this time, the Philippine team did not like the last time. After a round of EP volley of star ring trade, the organization of the whole division was lost. After contacting with the armored forces of Moro and star ring trade, they have at least a certain ability to fight back.
But it's just the ability to fight back.
The road from the beach to Tacloban is littered with tank ruins on top of the road. Some belong to 1A1, and some belong to T80 or T72. In this tank war, a total of hundreds of tanks were reimbursed. More than half of them belong to the Philippines, and a small part belong to Moro.
As for the star ring trade, the only battle damage was that a tiger hunting II was hit by the top of the support gun, and the rest of the tanks were broken at most by tracks or turrets, and there was no direct destruction by 1A1.
After solving the first armored brigade of Philippines, the fifth mechanized division of Moro, who landed on the island, began to march at full speed to Tacloban. Sea lion special forces took Black Hawk helicopter to the north to blow up the road, preventing the retreat of Philippine garrison on Leyte island.
Star ring trade invested a brigade force into Leyte Island, formed a group with the troops participating in the landing operation, and quickly rushed to the edge of the urban area by infantry vehicles, and launched a fierce exchange of fire with the Philippine army which was firmly stationed here.
most of the civilians in the city have been evacuated, and only a small number of people have not been able to withdraw. Tacloban is like a dead city after the EP attack. Rows of tall buildings, like tombstones, silently overlook the soldiers who have broken into the city, and the humble Mars left by the explosives.
After the defense lines outside the city were defeated, Philippine soldiers have begun to withdraw into the city, ready to fight with the star ring trade.
Walking next to the armored vehicle in the country of Moro, Zhang Feng, with his Ripper's rifle, carefully looked at the windows around him.
Eight hummingbird drones hover around the armored vehicle, guarding against rocket launchers that may protrude from windows or explosives thrown from the roof.
All of a sudden, a rocket drags the plume towards the armored vehicle, destroying the reaction armor hanging on the left side of the vehicle.
”Enemy anti tank team found on the roof”
”at 16 o'clock, kill them”
the fireman threw himself behind the bunker and set up a light machine gun to vent fire to the window on the roof. Seeing that he failed, the other side withdrew immediately.
”The target starts to move”
