The helicopter spotted Khalid's vanguard, and at the same time Khalid's vanguard also spotted the helicopter.
How to fight the war?
In the plains, without any support, it seems we have no choice but to work hard.
Khalid's fighting style was very simple. He immediately ordered the infantry to build fortifications, and with the assistance of heavy forces such as tanks and armored vehicles, he built an arc-shaped defensive position on the spot.
He wants to fight a positional battle in an encounter!
The value of the phrase "time is life" rose rapidly at this time. Andrew's troops on the opposite side deployed an attack formation, with a row of tanks leading the way in front, and armored personnel carriers following behind, spreading out and rushing forward in a fan shape. Khalid's troops here quickly built fortifications.
Khalid's formation was different. His heavy armored troops were not in the front, but were dispersed throughout the position to provide fire support to the infantry.
In this encounter, on Khalid's side, the protagonists were not the tanks and heavy equipment, nor the infantry after building fortifications, but the two separate troops.
One hundred drones are ready to go, but two hundred robot dogs are nowhere to be seen.
In the dark night, Khalid's troops opened fire first.
Boom boom boom!
The few shells that flew out of the artillery position landed in the route of the American troops and exploded with flames.
"Haha, it's really them!" Amen, the commander of the First Brigade who had stopped to build a command post, was not surprised but delighted when he saw the artillery fire. "There are 155-caliber artillery. This is the opponent of the Second Brigade. It is indeed Khalid's main force."
Because it was a joint operation, it was decided that the command posts of the 1st Brigade and the 3rd Brigade would be merged to facilitate the use of equipment.
Arthur walked over with a cigarette in his mouth. "Tsk, tsk, how lucky we are. Judging from their firepower, they don't have many troops."
"Do you think our fight in Helaer was in vain?" Amen also took out a cigarette and lit it, saying proudly, "They only have so much equipment in total. We fought Helaer so hard that Khalid had to mobilize equipment to support Helaer."
As the main force in attacking Gerard, the two cooperated very well.
Arthur naturally agreed with Amen's statement. In fact, the facts were just as Amen said. Khalid had transferred a considerable number of heavy weapons to support Helar, but heavy equipment such as tanks that were not easy to use in urban warfare were less transferred.
"Amen, how about we make a bet?" Arthur raised his wrist and looked at his luminous watch. "I bet we will resolve the battle before dawn, and my people will catch the big fish in the end."
"Shit!" Amen spat. "I agree that the battle can be resolved in five hours, but it must be my people who caught the big fish. Don't even think about it."
"How about a hundred dollars?"
"make a deal!"
These two people actually had the urge to open a handicap.
The command room was quickly constructed, and the two men walked into the tent. The signalman began to collect information on the battlefield.
"Sir, the third company has made contact with the enemy!"
"Sir, the enemy has built fortifications to resist at the site."
"Sir, the enemy has a large number of tanks, which poses a great threat to our attack."
"......"
After gathering the information one by one, Amen and Arthur quickly determined the strength of Khalid's army. They also believed that the enemy's biggest threat was the tanks and other heavy weapons on the position.
"How to deal with it?" Amen looked at Arthur.
"Concentrate the tanks!" Arthur said without hesitation, "We have more tanks than them. If we concentrate the tanks to charge and break through their defenses, the ground forces will have no obstacles to attack. We have limited time, and it will be bad if we let the big fish get away."
"agree......"
The two men quickly reached a consensus and ordered all the tanks of the two brigades to launch a charge.
The tanks of the two brigades had been damaged in the previous battle for Gerard, and were also lost to the individual anti-tank weapons that the defenders suddenly possessed.
However, despite this, there are still as many as 120 tanks left in the two brigades.
This is twice as many as the tanks that Khalid had deployed as artillery on the opposite side.
The order was issued quickly and the troops quickly prepared for action.
Soon, 120 tanks marched towards the positions of Khalid's troops.
Kurt was a tank commander who led the driver, gunner and loader, driving the M1 tank he named "Girl" at the front of the team.
The four men cooperated well and achieved very proud results since the war began. During the day today, they destroyed several buildings where the enemy troops were lurking in the city of Helar.
"Dile!" Kurt called the name of the gunner in front and below, "I found them, beat them hard for me."
"Night market!" Gunner Dilai received the information from Kurt and quickly began to aim.
There were four people in the tank, except for the driver, Kurt and the other three were in the turret.
Kut used a periscope to observe and command, targeting a front tank in the position of Khalid's troops.
Just as their tanks were aiming, the tanks on Khalid's position moved and opened fire first.
More than sixty tanks, with their 105mm main guns roaring and firing in unison.
After all, it was because the quality of Khalid’s men was a little poor, and the first round of firing was not very effective.
Morant, the loader who was in charge of operating the communication equipment part-time, was shirtless, with yellow hair flying on his chest: "Haha, those idiots on the opposite side, their crosshairs were bitten off by grandma's dentures... Peter is an unlucky guy, their tank was hit..."
