"Be careful to destroy the enemy at a distance as much as possible, and not get too close. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info the 37-mm tank guns of the Americans, which basically pose no threat to us at long distances. "The battalion commander of the 16th tank battalion of the 2nd armored brigade ordered.

The U.S. Army's M1 light tank, M2 medium tank, and M3 light tank were all armed with less powerful 37mm tank guns. This kind of tank gun is very powerful, and basically does not pose much threat to the 'Leopard 2' tank of the Imperial Army. The only thing to worry about is probably the 75mm tank gun of the US M3LEE tank. If it is hit at close range, the Leopard 2 tank can also be destroyed.

"Boom!" A 'Leopard 2' tank took advantage of the moonlight to aim at an M1 light tank of the US army a few hundred meters ahead. The powerful 75mm tank gun easily penetrated the armor of this M1 light tank and destroyed it.

However, it was night after all, and the sight was greatly affected. Therefore, the hit rate of each car group is not high, not as good as during the day.

The armored forces of the US army have apparently also discovered that they are at a great loss when they fight against the armored forces of the Chinese army at this distance. Their tank guns were less powerful, and at long distances, it was difficult to penetrate the armor of the tanks of the Imperial Army. At the same time, the sighting equipment of the tanks of the US army, the performance was inferior to that of the Imperial Army. This makes it difficult for US tanks to aim. In such a situation, their hit rate and the chance of destroying the Imperial Army's tanks are naturally very low. Therefore, the U.S. armored forces were only able to shorten the distance between the two sides as much as possible in order to hit and destroy the Imperial Army's tanks as much as possible.

At the same time, the M3 light tanks and M3LEE medium tanks of the 7th Armored Division of the US Army are also rushing to the battlefield. As a result, the number of tanks on the battlefield of the US army far exceeded that of the 2nd Battalion of the 16th Armored Brigade of the Imperial Army.

"Boom!" Another U.S. tank was destroyed by a Leopard 2 tank of the Imperial Army. However, at the moment of firing, the flames shining from the muzzle also exposed the position of this 'Leopard 2' tank.

"Bang dang!" A loud bang was heard. A U.S. M3 light tank opened fire, and a 37mm armor-piercing shell hit the frontal armor of the Leopard 2 tank. However, it was not able to penetrate the armor. It was just the noise that frightened the crew members of the tank.

"Dog *day*, it's so dangerous! We were hit. But, fortunately, our armor was thick and did not penetrate it. The commander wiped the sweat from his forehead and said. At the moment of being hit, he really thought he was dead.

"Aim at the tank that sneaked up on us and kill them!" The commander commanded.

The gunner was already doing this, and the turret began to rotate, aiming at the M3 light tank. After discovering that the M3 light tank of the US army did not penetrate the target, it realized the danger and began to desperately reverse and escape. It's just that it's useless to do so.

"Boom!" The 75mm field gun of the Imperial Army's 'Leopard 2' tank opened fire, and an armor-piercing shell easily destroyed the M3 light tank, finally avenging the kill.

However, before the Leopard 2 tank could cheer, tragedy struck. Three hundred meters away from them, an M3LEE medium tank of the U.S. Army had already aimed at the 'Leopard 2' tank.

"Boom!" The 75mm tank gun in front of the hull opened fire, and the armor-piercing shell hit the side armor of the Imperial Army's Leopard 2 tank. Because the distance was so close, the side armor of the Leopard 2 tank was not able to withstand the shell at all. After the shell penetrated the armor, the armor fragments were **** in the tank, killing all five crew members in the tank. At the same time, the armor-piercing shell also hit the ammunition rack, which directly detonated. The huge power directly blew the tank into a pile of scrap metal.

"Bastard, tank No. 16207 was destroyed. The tank guns of the Americans are actually capable of threatening our tanks. "When a commander saw that tank No. 16207 was destroyed, he couldn't help but shout. Inside the radio headset, there were screams from everyone one after another.

Originally, the armored forces of the Imperial Army considered themselves superior to the armored forces of the Americans. Because their tank guns can easily destroy American tanks. And the tank guns of the Americans, but there is nothing they can do with their tanks. However, it seems that this is not the case at all!

"Everyone, be careful, it should be the M3LEE tank of the Americans. The 75-mm tank gun of this tank, which has a decent power. However, this tank gun is deployed in front of the hull and has a limited range of fire, so it is possible to avoid being hit by it by going around to the side or rear. Said the battalion commander of the 16th battalion of the 2nd armored brigade.

However, if it was fighting during the day, the tanks of the Imperial Army could take advantage of the range advantage of tank guns to easily torture and kill these tanks of the American Army at a long distance. However, this was at night, and the U.S. tanks could easily get close. The armor of the tanks of the Imperial Army could not withstand the shells fired by the American tank guns at close range. In addition, it is not reliable to want to go around the sides and back of the tanks of the US army. Because, the number of tanks dispatched by the US military is too much. It was more than ten times the size of the 16th Battalion of the 2nd Armored Brigade of the Imperial Army.

Although the performance of the Imperial Army's 'Leopard 2' tank is very advanced, if it is to fight with the armored forces of the US army during the day, it is not a problem at all to resist an armored division of the US army with a tank battalion. However, fighting at night, the tank performance of the armored forces of the Imperial Army simply could not be brought into play.

"Boom! Rumble! "The tanks of the Imperial Army, are destroying the tanks of the American army with sharp shelling. However, as the tanks of the American army approached the tanks of the Imperial Army, the losses of the armored forces of the Imperial Army also began to skyrocket.

"General, Your Excellency the Commander asks how the battle is going now." A staff officer reported to Major General Spaz.

"Tell Your Excellency, Commander, that everything is within our expectations. The armored forces of the Chinese are indeed very powerful. However, our armored forces are also making continuous gains. And, the results will be bigger and bigger. Major General Spartz said proudly. Prior to this, it was often their armored units that were tortured and killed by the armored units of the Chinese Army, and they did not have a temper at all. But in this battle, they don't even have a chance to fight back.

"Yes, General." The staff officer nodded, and hurriedly went to send a telegram.

On the battlefield, the fighting is getting more and more intense. Tanks on both sides are constantly being destroyed. Once the tanks of the two sides were close enough, the gap between the tanks' performance was basically erased. On the contrary, it was the numerical superiority of the US armored forces that was fully brought into play.

"Boom!" Another Leopard 2 tank was destroyed. Although they had destroyed several tanks of the U.S. armored forces before that, they were eventually approached by an M3LEE medium tank of the U.S. Army. And then it was blown up.

"What about the 1st and 3rd battalions? When will they be able to arrive? If they don't come again, I'm afraid we'll have to collect the bodies. "The commander of the 16th battalion of the 2nd armored brigade of the Imperial Army was also in a hurry. This battle was really too aggrieved, and the tank performance of the armored forces of the Imperial Army was obviously far stronger than that of the armored forces of the American army. But now it is indeed forced to meet the bayonets of the armored units of the American army. Although, in such a situation, the armored forces of the Imperial Army still showed great strength, the number of tanks of the American army was so large that the 2nd Battalion of the 16th Armored Brigade of the Imperial Army paid more and more casualties.

"The battalion commanders, the 1st and 3rd battalions, are on their way. In addition, the main forces of the 1st and 16th Armored Brigades are also on their way. It's just that they may take a little longer. A communications officer said.

The battalion commander nodded, he naturally knew that it would take time for reinforcements to arrive. However, watching his tanks being destroyed one after another, his mood was really urgent.

More and more American tanks poured into the positions, inflicting heavy losses on the 2nd Battalion of the 16th Armored Brigade of the Imperial Army and the 711th Infantry Regiment holding their positions. However, they always held their positions, not only did they not let the Americans take their positions, but on the contrary, they made the Americans pay even greater losses on their positions.

"Hell, why haven't the Chinese been defeated yet?" Seeing the time pass minute by minute, Major General Spaz, commander of the 7th Armored Division of the US Army, was a little anxious.

"It seems that the Chinese's will to fight far exceeds our expectations!" Major General Taylor, commander of the 3rd Armored Division of the US Army, said.

Although, they have already destroyed quite a few tanks of the Imperial Army. However, their losses were definitely more than three times that of the Imperial Army. What's more, the Imperial Army is still resisting, and from time to time it has launched counterattacks, making it impossible for the American Army to really occupy the positions of the Imperial Army, let alone break out of the encirclement.

Both Major General Spaz and Major General Taylor knew very well that if they could not tear open the encirclement of the Imperial Army before dawn, then their efforts would be in vain. Hundreds of thousands of US-Australian allied troops will also be completely trapped here and become prisoners of the Chinese.

However, perhaps God has given up on the US-Australia coalition. Therefore, no matter how Major General Spaz and Major General Taylor sent orders to the front, they were still not able to succeed in the end.

When the 1st Tank Battalion and the 3rd Tank Battalion of the 16th Armored Brigade of the Imperial Army arrived on the battlefield, the breakthrough of the US-Australian forces tonight was declared a failure. (To be continued.) )
