"Yes, Battalion Commander!"
The train commander ended the communication and decisively released a smoke grenade, which was exactly what Xia Yu had just witnessed.
Hold on, just hold on for three to five minutes and the reinforcements will arrive.
Even with its thick frontal armor, the weasel doesn't seem capable of withstanding a 76mm cannon.
They couldn't withstand it; Xia Yu knew the data about the D-56TS artillery of the PT-76M better than the rebels.
But they are quite mobile, so why not just avoid being hit?
Changing your perspective instantly makes things clearer.
Furthermore, even the thickest turret front of the PT-76M is only 17mm, and when combined with a 55° angle, the equivalent thickness is...
What's there to calculate? Their defenses are even thinner than the BMP-2. They're the ones who should be afraid.
"Thump~ thump~ thump~~"
The 20mm cannon fired again, destroying another anti-tank position marked by the drone before it died.
Apart from the BMP-2 that was hidden behind a building using smoke, all threats at this ambush point were eliminated, and the first half of the decisive battle officially entered its countdown.
"Da~da~da~~"
During the lull in the fighting, Hans did not remain idle.
Since the machine gun didn't carry high-explosive shells, he could still use the coaxial machine gun to mop up the battlefield, which helped reduce the burden on Sergei and his men.
In this way, the two machine guns formed a crossfire network, mowing down the lives of the rebel soldiers like cutting grass.
Having lost all anti-armor capabilities (excluding RPGs), the fate of these infantrymen was sealed.
Of course, Xia Yu had instructed not to shoot those who threw down their guns and ran away.
Upon discovering this, the rebels, one after another, quickly scattered nearly a hundred men.
Xia Yu was only worried that some of the guys were too stubborn to play RPGs; otherwise, he would have been happy to accept their surrender.
No, he didn't have time to capture them; there were still tough battles waiting for him.
The pt-76m bike group is nothing to worry about, but they have a full 10 of them.
Faced with a large number of vehicles, relying solely on this Weasel A3 is insufficient; Xia Yu must employ a decisive weapon.
"Buzz~~"
Just as Xia Yu was thinking this, the sound of an engine came from afar.
They arrived quickly; it looks like we'll have to play the first half seriously.
Xia Yu narrowed his eyes, returning to combat mode, and leaned towards the commander's panoramic sights to find his target.
At the same time, he also contacted the digital team and asked them to stop firing.
Infantry positions were powerless against machine guns, and could only pray silently against the grenades fired from tank guns.
Fortunately, Alexander still had an At-4cS.
This improved rocket launcher can discharge salt water to neutralize the afterburner during firing, making it safe whether firing in a confined space or while prone.
Of course, the price will also be higher.
Xia Yu is quite willing to invest in the safety of his employees.
He doesn't expect armored targets to be of any help; protecting himself is enough. He's the real scorer on the battlefield.
"Honey badger, get moving! They can use the terrain to their advantage, and so can we."
Following Xia Yu's instructions, Domi stepped on the gas and drove toward the building where the smoke had just dissipated.
Since that BMP-2 went around to the back of the building, he followed suit and did a similar "Qin King circling the pillar" maneuver.
This is a good opportunity to temporarily avoid the PT-76M's brunt; Xia Yu heard that there was more than one vehicle involved.
As soon as the Weasel A3 got close to the wall, the PT-76M's iconic dual-chamber gun recoil control valve emerged from around the corner.
Compared to the skirmish that took place just now at a distance of 700 or 800 meters, this time it was truly close combat, with the two sides less than 200 meters apart.
Xia Yu and that BMP-2 were less than 100 meters apart; it was truly a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road.
"Woo~~"
The hatch was opened, and the second Inspire 2 aircraft took off urgently.
This thing is much better than a person sticking a mirror around a corner; it's safer and more efficient.
Aside from being somewhat affected by the weather, it's really suitable for the relatively unmodernized battlefield of Afica.
Just now it was one for two, this time it's one for three, Xia Yu insists on supporting another 10 domestically produced aircraft.
The roar of the engine masked the sound of the drone's quadcopter spinning.
While contacting friendly forces, the BMP-2 commander instructed the gunner to aim at the corner directly ahead.
Their machine guns couldn't penetrate the Marder's frontal armor, so what about its sides?
If the enemy dares to chase after us, aim for the moment it turns and strike its side armor hard.
"Number 1, we haven't spotted the target."
The commander of the Panzer III light tank complained that the panoramic sights were too narrow, so he leaned out with his entire upper body to observe the battlefield. But just as he said, the Marder tank had disappeared.
“That’s right, it’s right here with me. There’s a building blocking your view, so you can’t see it. If someone comes, they can block its way.”
"The driver of car number 1 said excitedly."
He wasn't wrong; Xia Yu was hiding behind the corner, and he even saw him crouching there suspiciously.
"Mongoose, look, he's trying to ambush us."
"It's a pity we discovered them. Commander, tell me, how do we take them out?"
Hans said eagerly.
“I think it would be more interesting to leave them for last, but now we have a better goal.”
Xia Yu pointed to the PT-76M that was sneaking over on the monitor and said.
Since the rebels wanted to ambush them, they should fight fire with fire.
"Honey badger, let's turn around."
The tanks, driven by the differential speed of their tracks, turned 180° on the spot, and their guns were aimed straight ahead.
"Buzz~~"
The moment the gun barrel extended from the corner of the wall, the Marder A3 tank suddenly roared, and its more than 30-ton chassis accelerated and crashed into the PT-76M that had been stealing the chicken.
"Bang~~Squeak~~"
The light tank, weighing less than 20 tons, was instantly thrown several meters, its tracks scraping against the road surface and sparks flying. The crew inside were completely disoriented, but this was nothing!
"Thump~ thump~ thump~ thump~~"
The 20mm cannon barrel fired fiercely at the PT-76M turret, which was only three to five meters away from it.
This is no different from pointing a gun at someone's head and firing. The DM63 easily tore through the side armor of the turret, and after killing the crew, nearly half of them tore through the armor on the other side, turning into stray bullets that flew in all directions.
Xia Yu and his group couldn't see this scene, but the light tank No. 4 following behind could see it very clearly.
The tank commander and the gunner exchanged a glance, seemingly to confirm that they hadn't misread each other.
Yes, you read that right.
This weasel crew used the machine gun as a bayonet, and after penetrating the turret, they killed their friendly forces.
The plan to ambush them in car number 1 was a lie; it was clearly the other car that ambushed and killed all three of them.
No, we also need to count the two BMP-2s from before, so now there are only two left out of the five targets.
The cabin was unbearably hot, yet all the passengers felt a chill.
"Quick, take this opportunity."
Although the commander of the light tank 4 was terrified, he still made the right decision.
At this moment, the Weasel A3 peeked out from around the corner, half of its body exposed. The death of its teammate had created an excellent opportunity to attack.
"yes!"
The gunner controlled the turret's rotation; an armor-piercing shell was pre-loaded into the breech, and he only needed a few...
His hand stopped abruptly; the weasel was nowhere to be seen in the scope.
Xia Yu kept his eyes on the side, watching the movements of the light tank No. 4 the whole time, leaving no room for error.
"Call 01, that PT-76M's turret is facing us, have 02 give it a good beating."
This is also part of Xia Yu's tactics: using vehicle crews to attract the rebels' attention, while the neglected mechanized infantry squads will deliver a fatal blow.
