Chapter 277 The attack of Leopard 2

When you know the opponent's weaknesses, use your own strengths to suppress the opponent's weaknesses. It's so exciting to fight like this.

MiG's radar does not have the ability to downward vision, so they have no way to resist hiding at a low altitude to launch medium-range bombs, and they are completely at a disadvantage in close combat.

Rick didn't do much maneuvering action at all. He just simply climbed and dived, allowing the MiG fighter that manually mediated the wing swept angle in different states to be in a state of chaotic state, and then easily used the Rattlesnake missile to deal with the opponent.

In the sky, relying on the hunting team composed of Tomcat fighter jets and A-7s, the Cuban air defense missiles on the ground and Cuban fighter jets that dared to take off in the air were once again firmly in the hands of UNITA.

With the victory in the sky and the battle on the ground is also constantly advancing.

In Bengra, the South African army's horn tanks encountered again with the Cuban army's t-55 tanks.

This time, the t-55 tank did not start attacking at a long distance, but hid in the cover. When the horn tank was close to 800 meters, the t-55 tank came out of the cover and with a precise strike, it killed several horn tanks.

The heroic Cuban tank soldiers drove T-55 tanks and rushed to the front line. The tank battle was taking place on the field of Angola.

The engine of the T-55 tank was blowing black smoke and quickly penetrated into the side of the horn tank. Although surrounded by several horn tanks, they seemed not afraid and fought back with precise shooting. When both sides left, eight t-55 tanks remained on the battlefield, and more than a dozen horn tanks were destroyed.

When the distance between the two sides is close enough, the advantage of the horn tank is no longer obvious, and if they want to attack Bengra, they must move forward again.

"Boom, rumble." When the tank troops launched a charge again, they keenly discovered that the opponent's Cuban tank seemed to have changed style. How could there be a V-shaped thing in front of the armor of the chariot? Also, the gun barrel seems to be thicker than the T-55's?

"Boom!" This time, just over a distance of 1,500 meters, a fire broke out from the guns of the opponent's tank gun, and a shell flew to the opposite side with a roar.

A horn tank moved half of the body with its maneuverability, but the other party seemed to know that it was going to accelerate and aimed ahead of schedule, so it was hit.

The shells penetrated the armor of the horn tank. The fire burned on the horn tank.

The South African armored soldiers were stunned. What kind of tank is this? What kind of artillery is this? The Soviet T55's 100mm cannon cannot tear their armor at all!

The opponent continued to rush up, and the horn tank had to temporarily choose to retreat.

Five kilometers away from the front line, Major General Torien, the commander of the Armored Division of the South African Army, frowned.

It was almost time for them to attack, even if they suffered some casualties, it was worth it. Now, a new Soviet tank suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their footsteps.

"We have to call fighter planes to help us attack from the air," said a staff officer.

"No, our current air force is fighting with the Cuban air force and cannot support us for the time being. We must rely on ourselves." Torian said: "Even if we make a great sacrifice, we must attack us!"

No one knew that after killing the Soviets' arms ships, the Soviets became even more angry and actually used large transport aircraft to support a batch of air defense missiles and tanks to the Angolan battlefield regardless of transportation costs.

The arrival of the T-72 tank, relying on the advantage of the 125mm caliber artillery, immediately stopped the South African Army's attack.

"Report to the commander of the division, our reinforcements are here." At this moment, an adjutant entered the command center and reported to the commander.

Reinforcements? All those who should come have come, where are there any reinforcements?

"They drove a new tank, which is Leopard 2." The adjutant continued.

Leopard 2? Could it be that mercenary was coming? Torian was immediately excited: "Let's go and have a look."

Since it has been captured here, Leopard 2 was transported by a tow truck. When Torian arrived at the scene, he saw Leopard 2 tank coming off the trailer.

Seven load-bearing wheels, huge body, and the cannon barrel are so powerful. So, why is this turret different from what I think? What is added to it?

Seeing the tank rumbling down from the trailer directly, Torian met up and looked at the person who came out of the turret.

"Welcome, my friends." Torian said.

Fashim drilled out of the turret and looked at everything here. There was a rumbling sound from afar. The battle was still going on.

As the first armored brigade equipped with Leopard 2 tanks, and only equipped with a tank company in advance, Fahim, the brigade commander of the Independent Armored Brigade, personally took the tank company to the Angola battlefield. The performance of this tank still needs to be tested through actual combat.

At the same time, after Leopard 2 arrived in Pakistan, a turret bra was installed to improve bulletproof performance. This bra is different from that given to Germany and is the latest composite armor from Eastern countries.

"To drive away the abominable Soviets, let's fight together." Fashim said: "How is the situation here?"

"It's very bad. We were stubbornly resisted by Cuban tank soldiers, and they also owned new tanks." Major General Torian said.

"Okay, then let's have a meal first," said Fashim. "Stay first, wait until the evening before entering the battle. I hope you are ready, we will open the way in front, and we will attack Bengra tonight."

Wait until the evening? Major General Torian was a little puzzled. Moreover, the opponent was so confident that he could break through the opponent's defense line?

However, this tank company has indeed come from afar and it's time to rest.

When dusk, the battlefield finally became quiet, and both sides stopped contacting, it was time to eat and rest. This is the case with the battles these days.

After the meal, Fashim and others began to prepare busyly, fill the tanks with fuel, check their weapons, and wait quietly for darkness.

"Buzz, buzz." The sound of the familiar engine came. Fahim looked at the South African army that had gathered behind him and said to Torian: "Follow us three kilometers away, just wait to rush into the city. Leave the road ahead to us."

Ten tanks lined up in a horizontal row and advanced towards the front.

It had already turned completely dark, and Fashim's eyes were fixed on the sight, leaning against the infrared imaging device, and he easily observed the front.

The fields here have long been crushed to the point of being uneven, and the excellent suspension makes the tank soldiers sitting inside feel very comfortable.

"Note that the war zone is about to enter the front." Fashim shouted easily in the radio. The sound insulation performance of Leopard 2 is very excellent, not as loud as the 59 tank.

Bengra city, outside the suburbs, two kilometers away from Cuban armored forces.

The armored aircraft group will make a sound on the ground. When the Leopard 2 tank is advancing, the Cuban tank soldiers on the opposite side have already been prepared.

The ones in front are their heroes during the day today, the T-72 tank and the infrared headlights on the top of the turret shine in front. Although they are invisible to the naked eye, they can be clearly seen in their infrared aiming devices. This is also the standard equipment for the night battle of Soviet tanks.

Unfortunately, when they turned on the infrared headlights, they could not see anything on the opposite side.

The tank gun of T-72 can reach a range of 2,000 meters when firing a stable shell-out armor-piercing projectile at the tail wing. However, the backward fire control limits the performance of this shell, especially during night battles, its effective sight-seeing distance is only 800 meters.

Now, the distance between the two sides is two thousand meters, and the t-72 tank cannot see anything, so it can only start rumble.

In the opposite Leopard 2 tanks, those tanks with infrared headlights are simply the best targets! Although both sides are now moving, the command ritual fire control system of Leopard 2 tank has successfully targeted them.

"The distance is one thousand nine, an armor-piercing bomb." The commander issued an order while continuing to observe with his sights, and the gunnery had already begun to aim skillfully.

The loader pushed the shell into the barrel and everything was done in two seconds.

"Boom!" With a huge roar, the tank body shook and continued to move forward. A DM13 tail wing stably shell-out armor-piercing bomb flew out of the gun mouth and flew towards the target.

In the sights of the t-72 tank's captain and gunner's captain, he only saw the sudden firelight on the opposite side, and then there was no shadow.

The other party had fired shells, but his side had not seen the other party yet!

The tungsten alloy core, with a speed of nearly two thousand meters per second, pierced on the main armor of the t-72 and easily tore open the armor of the t-72. In the torn hole, countless high-speed splashing armor fragments appeared. At the same time, the armor-piercing bullet core fragments also flew into the tank together, splashing everywhere with high temperature. The personnel inside were killed in this instant, and the high temperature ignited the packed shells.

"Boom!" Accompanied by the explosion, the t-72's turret was blown into the air.

Ten Leopard 2 tanks were urging and firing constantly, and the infrared headlights on the opposite side disappeared one by one.

Launch, launch! This time, the main equipment in the Leopard 2 tank is armor-piercing bombs, which is the main type of bomb they confronted the opponent's armored soldiers.

Although the tanks on the opposite side were hit, they still rushed up without fear of death, trying to rely on tank sea tactics to win.

Each tank destroyed nearly ten Cuban tanks. At this time, the distance between the two sides had reached within one thousand meters, and was almost at an extreme distance of 800 meters.

Within 800 meters, the fire control system of the T-72 tank can also be aimed at them. (To be continued...)
