In sight, the destroyed tank was on fire.

Seeing that the thick-skinned M1A2 "Abrams" turned into a pile of black smoke and scrap metal in an instant, the lieutenant only felt a little chill in his neck for a while, so wouldn't these thin-skinned and big-stuffed "Strykers" they were riding even more vulnerable-

No, it won't!

These hateful Russians, he actually thought that they "all ran away", this is simply too light!

With a hint of ominous horror in his heart, Lieutenant Pete's "Stryker" had stopped the car at the pass on the other side of the gentle slope; Seeing that an anti-tank "Stryker" not far away was occupying the anti-slope terrain on the side of the road and firing a "Tao" anti-tank missile into the distance, the lieutenants and soldiers who rushed out of the car hurriedly spread out their formation and rushed up the gentle slope covered with turf.

After the hasty retreat just now, the large open area behind them is now no longer in danger, and before the follow-up troops arrive, the soldiers of the Mountain Division must hold this pass to buy time for the heavy cavalry regiment that has been reinforced behind.

In a short time, as the Soviet tanks continued to approach, the rumbling of artillery echoing in the open battlefield became louder and louder; Feeling the ground trembling slightly under his feet, Lieutenant Pete, who was lying on the slope, pressed the intercom with one hand and beckoned the fire shooter to prepare the "Javelin" anti-tank missile launcher in a hastily selected sunken position, while the other soldiers lay down on the grassy slope with their Christmas tree-like M16 rifles. According to the skillful defensive arrangement of the repeated drills, the soldiers were quickly ready in their respective battle positions; The formation of a skirmish line was of course very effective against the Russian infantry charge. But right in front of their sight. What emerged from the thin white mist was not the charging Ivan, who shouted with a gun, but one after another hideous steel monsters!

"Son of a bitch. - Oliver, call the battalion headquarters, we need more fire support! ”

Seeing that just about a thousand meters away, there were more and more olive-green Russian tanks and toad-like armored vehicles, and the fire and smoke of the shelling were coming one after another, Lieutenant Pete, who was nesting behind the grassy slope, was anxiously slapping the liaison non-commissioned officer, and his gloved hand knocked on the helmet with a "bangbang" sound, "We can't withstand so many tanks." Call the helicopter to rush up! And you,--Charlie, where's your 'Spike' launcher?" ”

"Sir, I—I fell on the road when I was retreating just now!"

"What?! You wake-up guy - forget it, get me on my stomach at the back of the slope! ”

Resisting the urge to curse, Thomas Pitt continued to crouch on the grassy slope, raising his hand to wipe the sweat from his eyes.

Looking forward along the underside of his helmet, the lieutenant saw a line of Russian tanks and armored vehicles forming a hash line on the opposite side, and behind them appeared to be shadowy infantrymen. He first fumbled and pulled out two grenades and placed them in a soft grass hole beside him, and the flat-ended M16 rifles in both hands. He glanced at the vaguely recognizable figures through the anvil hole, and then tried to pull the trigger twice.

"Bang Bang-"

With the crisp sound of gunfire, in fact, the enemy was still far away at this time, Lieutenant Pete did this just subconsciously to find a sense of actual combat, he always felt that no matter how many targets were on the training ground, it was not the same thing as actually shooting at a living person. Unexpectedly, with the sound of his gun, the soldiers thought that the time had come, so they began to shoot aimlessly, and for a while, the gunfire on the grass slope was loud, and he waved his hands and shouted angrily:

“Cease-Fire！ ――Cease-Fire！ At such a distance, what are you doing, shooting yourself indiscriminately! ”

As if in response to his words, he suddenly heard a dull explosion behind him, and as soon as Lieutenant Pete turned around, he saw that a "Stryker" blocked in the pass was hit with white smoke, and the door of the chariot suddenly opened, and two smoke-covered figures jumped out of it.

Seeing that the crew of the "Stryker" who had escaped death staggered and rolled on the ground, the lieutenant was still glad for these guys in the armored car, and those who didn't know what the fire extinguishing and explosion suppression system provided by the arms dealer really worked; However, the previous indiscriminate gunfire brought disaster to the soldiers of the mountain division, and as the moving T-72BM tank turned its muzzle slightly, a flying tail steady dìng grenade exploded with a "bang" in front of the grassy slope!

Because the shell exploded in the near future, the soldiers lying on the anticline plane were not hit by the fragments, but were strongly shocked by the shock wave, and the soldiers closest to the crater were already bleeding from their mouths and noses and were killed on the spot, and Lieutenant Pete, who was lying in the distance, also felt nauseous with a stomach and intestines.

After all, the 10th Mountain Division is also one of the units in the US army that can fight tough battles, and they continue to send a part of their forces to defend the flanks and guard against Ivan's roundabout sneak attacks, and the two FGM-114 "Javelin" anti-tank missile launchers on the frontal position have also completed the target lock, and one after another "Javelin" missiles flew away, and a T-72BM tank that rushed to the front was quickly hit one after another. A blinding flash of explosion erupted.

At this moment, the forward troops of the 7th Ranger Regiment had already arrived quickly along the road, and the M1A2 tanks with black bars and horse head logos quickly drove off the shoulders of the road and spread out with each other, forming a thick armored front with the M2A3 "Bradley" vehicles following behind.

"Call 'stirrups'! Call 'stirrups'! The rear front is in place, now immediately withdraw from the original positions! ”

“Roger-that！ - Attention everyone, immediately board the car and evacuate the position! Laurie, throw that launcher, throw me off two doglegs and run! ”

In the fierce battle, after hearing the order from the battalion headquarters, Lieutenant Pete climbed down the grassy slope as if he had been amnestied, held an M16 rifle and beckoned the soldiers to immediately board the car and evacuate, abandoning this section of the anti-slope that seemed to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, but could not block the Russian track at all.

When the last soldier jumped into the cabin, the three "Strykers" immediately pulled the frightened mountain infantry out of the battle line and ran backwards, while in front of the sparse woodland in the rear, the "Abrams" and "Bradley" on the open side were already in position, loaded and loaded, ready to have a head-on confrontation with the rushing Russian iron stream.

One side charges with all its might, and the other side is ready to fight; The reticle of the sight scope is already in place, and the shiny smoothbore muzzle is flickering!

When the first T-72BM tank to cross the gentle slope crossed the anti-slope and the subsequent armored front flooded the center line of the battlefield, the American tanks immediately fired the first artillery salvo, then slammed on the accelerator and accelerated forward. At this moment, the two sides of the contest were evenly matched in terms of reaction speed, so that Mi-28N and "Apache" helicopter gunships appeared in the sky on the north and south sides of the battle line almost at the same time.

A violent group fight with the integration of open space and ground burst out in an instant and reached its climax! (To be continued......)
