The Tang Army's pursuit of troops is still very fast, the second division of the army is a fully mechanized force, responsible for the pursuit of the first brigade, this is a team formed by the veteran troops who participated in the Beijing Incident, and is also recognized as one of the trump cards in the Tang Army, is one of the earliest mechanized troops. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After the expansion into a brigade, it was equipped with a series of new equipment.

Tank soldier Jianwen drove a Type 99 tank at high speed. This Type 99 tank is certainly not one of the world's best third-generation main battle tanks before the crossing, and in appearance, this type of tank is actually more like the Type 59 that has been broken by various jokers. Of course, the Datang version of 59 is still very different from the original 59, after all, Datang has more references and lessons, so the main battle tank named 99 at this time is actually 59, and its combat power is more powerful than the other main battle tank in the fifties and sixties of the twentieth century.

In fact, the First Brigade was only equipped with a small number of tanks to test performance, with a higher-horsepower engine, newer armor materials, a more comprehensive and advanced fire control system, and a first-generation low-light imager. Of course, more importantly, unlike the old Type 59 tank gun, which was equipped with an 85 mm tank gun at the beginning, the Datang Type 99 main battle tank used a 105 mm smoothbore tank gun at the beginning.

In fact, the Type 90 tank, which has been widely equipped with Datang Armored Corps, is still a crushing level on the land battlefield, even if Datang sells some monkey tanks to Western countries, but there is no equipment that can shake the Type 90 tank that integrates firepower, protection and mobility.

However, the military is always dissatisfied, obviously has better technology, but it is unacceptable not to carry out the installation, even if the Type 90 tank is completely sufficient now, considering the development of other countries and the inherent evolution needs of the Tang Army, the military still insists on keeping up with the pace and engaging in a series of equipment research and development, of which the more important is the Type 99 main battle tank.

This new tank is not positioned as a high-precision weapon in terms of construction ideas, and the amount of equipment is limited. Datang is well aware that technological progress will soon make this tank lag behind, and at the same time, Datang also predicts that the armor power of other countries will also mature rapidly, and the first generation tank Type 90 is likely to have no great advantage over the enemy, so the Type 99 must replace all Type 90 with the goal. Reliable and excellent, cost-effective, and suitable for mass manufacturing, but also requires a certain amount of modification space, so that the next generation of tanks can appear after a certain modification performance will not be completely outdated.

Under such an idea, Datang Military Industry came up with this Type 99 main battle tank.

Jian Wen drove a tank over a field of crops, and Tang Jun told the local farmers that whoever had damaged their land would lose an entire acre of harvest if they destroyed a little. This is actually the old tradition of the Tang Army, and some relevant units immediately came to the door to compensate, and the villagers did not complain about it.

In fact, Tang people have always behaved fairly and justly, and they are more reasonable, whether they are doing business or doing things, they will not mess around. This is also many people's perception of the Tang people, and it is obvious that this perception will play a positive role in the future governance of this land by the Tang Dynasty.

As soon as they passed the village, the vanguarded armoured soldiers discovered the Qing army's defensive line. This is also the Praetorian Guard troops that were left behind, the Tang Army was not lucky, they came a little slower, just last night Jiaqing had already set off in advance and acted separately from the Praetorian Guard. Although Datang has eyeliner, he does not have a full grasp of this situation. The reconnaissance planes had only discovered two hours earlier that the Janissaries had split up.

On the bright side, the Qing army and the Tang army did not declare a war, and Jiaqing was also worried that the Praetorian Guards would lose too much when fighting against the Tang army, so the order was mainly to preserve the strength.

However, Jian Wen and other tank soldiers who took the lead will not stop because the two countries have not officially declared war. The Tang army knew very well what they were going to do in this military campaign, so of course their enemies were not limited to the Boxers or other violent organizations, but the Qing army was also their enemy.

The Type 99 main battle tank showed its hideous posture for the first time on the battlefield, and the Qing army had just stopped and broken, and there would be no adequate defensive front, and after encountering contact, the Tang armored troops immediately launched an attack on the battle line.

This is actually a battalion-sized force, consisting of a machine infantry battalion and a tank company equipped with Type 99 tanks, with only a few hundred people, and the Qing army in front of it is several times the size of the Tang army. However, the Tang army would not be afraid to fight because of the difference in numbers, but they launched an offensive directly, with twelve main battle tanks covering the attack, firing artillery during the march, and the shells directly hit the positions of the Qing army, causing a shock.

The Praetorian Guard has been formed for so many years, and the imaginary enemy is the Tang Army, and they have a lot of understanding of the king of land warfare in the Tang Dynasty, but it is precisely because of this understanding that they will become afraid. The Praetorian Guards were hastily withdrawn from the Beijing Division, and the number of heavy weapons such as artillery they held was limited, and the strongest artillery was carried by the Praetorian Guard troops who were divided into troops. The Praetorian Guards also had only a small number of infantry guns and mortars, and as soon as they first came into contact with the vanguard of the Tang Army, they had no time to set up a counterattack.

So inevitably, Jian Wen and his comrades-in-arms rushed into the Qing army in tanks, and the coordinated infantry also jumped down from the infantry fighting vehicles and began to launch a full-scale attack on the Praetorian Guard. This scene is somewhat unbearable, it is obviously the side with a small number of people, but it is like a tiger chasing the side with a large number of people.

The army also basically replaced the S11 assault rifle at this time, so the increase in firepower is huge. The Praetorian Guards were stunned by the blow of the Tang army, and the soldiers counterattacked with guns, but they were suppressed by dense fire.

The exchange of fire did not last long, and four more fighters flew in the sky, rushing down and bullying the Janissaries with machine guns. The desperate Praetorian Guards knew that resistance was useless, and in the end most of them chose to surrender on their knees with their hands.

The Tang commanders hoped to learn the Qing army's course of action through the interrogation of the captured Praetorian Guard officers, but it was clear that Jiaqing did not trust these people, and the Janissaries themselves did not know the course of action and destination of each unit. This also brought a lot of trouble to the Tang army's subsequent pursuit. (To be continued.) )
