"Buzz~~"
The sound of an engine came from afar, instantly attracting the attention of the rebels.
"They're here, they're here! Get ready for battle!"
The first to react was an anti-tank team.
In addition to the three BMP-2s stationed at this intersection, Cohen also arranged two extra racing cars.
The double insurance was intended to block Anka's escape route, but unfortunately he didn't live to see little Anka enter the city.
"Why is there only one?"
Looking at the lone Marder infantry fighting vehicle through his binoculars, the rebel sergeant was puzzled, then immediately reported to Cohen.
"One?"
Cohen stood up in surprise.
"How is this possible?"
He had considered many scenarios and made many contingency plans.
Anka could enter the city from multiple directions, or even in a convoy, but it's impossible and shouldn't happen that a single vehicle would come!
Isn't this kid afraid of giving away the car for free?
Suddenly, Cohen remembered that afternoon when he was dominated.
Could it be that PMC company again?
"Anti-tank team, take cover. Vehicles 2 and 3, move out and take it down!"
If it's that company, they're very good at fighting unarmored anti-tank teams, but their ability to deal with armored targets is questionable.
"Loki, send light tanks No. 3 and No. 4 over."
Rocky is the commander of the light tank battalion. To be on the safe side, Cohen plans to reinforce this ambush point. Light tanks No. 3 and No. 4 are the closest to the intersection.
No matter what tricks Anka plays, taking down this vehicle first is the right thing to do.
What a coincidence, Xia Yu thought the same thing.
He divided the decisive battle into two halves: since you sent out BMP-2s to cut off our retreat, I'll first take out your sustained firepower.
"Commander, the two trains on the left and in the middle have moved."
Ignoring the drone's low battery, Hans observed the intersection through the gunner's panoramic sight while reporting to Xia Yu.
"Take out the one on the left first, then rush up and engage in close combat with the one in the middle. 01, get ready to disembark."
Xia Yu gave orders to Hans and Sergei respectively.
"Yes, double the tank length!"
Hans made a slight adjustment to the turret angle, completely unaware that the Panzer III was preparing to launch a surprise attack from the side.
"brake!"
"Squeak~~"
No sooner said than done, the Weasel A3, which was traveling at a constant speed, came to a sudden stop.
"Thump~thump~thump..."
Hans pulled the trigger, and a burst of DM63 rounds was fired.
This type of ammunition can penetrate 52mm of equivalent homogeneous steel armor at a distance of 1000 meters and a normal angle of 60°.
Therefore, after traversing a distance of only three to five hundred meters, they pierced through the BMP-2's 45° angled turret, with its actual armor thickness of 33mm, like steel needles, and then rolled and destroyed all the personnel inside.
In just a few seconds, the entire crew of vehicle number 3 was killed.
There was no time to mourn for the rebels. Domi released the brakes and accelerated again, and they sped off like miniature tanks once more.
"Number 3, Number 3, how are you?"
Number 2, still charging forward, had no time to attend to his comrades. It was Number 1, who was lying in wait, who broke the silence, but Number 3 could not answer them.
"Damn it, call headquarters, they've spotted us, they have our information."
Upon receiving the message from car number 1, Cohen's heart skipped a beat.
Here we go again, it's that same feeling again. How did he find out? Do we have a mole among us?
This is what it means to be left behind by the times. Cohen at the command post could not see that a few kilometers away, an Inspire 2 drone, its battery depleted, crashed helplessly in the sky.
*Smack!*
The gimbal camera was the first to be completely destroyed, followed by the two batteries being flung away, leaving only the relatively intact body.
The discarded crew of scavengers is heading towards the second BMP-2.
Although Xia Yu looked down on knights charging, as long as their armor was thick enough, charging could still be quite romantic.
"Thump~ thump~ thump~~"
The rebels' second vehicle finally opened fire. The BMP-2 has an upgraded vertical stabilization system compared to the BMP-1, allowing it to aim and fire while moving.
Wow, this is a feature that even the Weasel A3 doesn't have.
A burst of 30mm shells clattered and struck the front of Xia Yu's vehicle, creating a spectacular explosion.
Then what?
Shouldn't you have just pierced through and killed all three mustelids inside (including the false mustelids)?
They did think that, but the bare-armored Marder A1 could withstand a 20mm autocannon at point-blank range, and the fully upgraded A3 would naturally be able to handle 30mm tracer incendiary rounds with ease.
"Mongoose, take care of them!"
"Thump~ thump~ thump~~"
No need to brake; at such close range, Hans can hit the target without even needing to anticipate the shot.
"Boom!"
Diesel engines are not supposed to explode easily, but accidents can happen unexpectedly.
They blew up the BMP-2, and the unexploded 30mm shells inside exploded in the high temperature, looking like fireworks.
"01, get off the bus!"
"Yes, commander!"
After a brief conversation, the entire digital team got off the bus.
Led by Sergei, they quickly sprinted along the nearest building to the other side.
"Da~da~da~~"
Finally, the sound of rifles rang out.
It was a nearby infantry position. They were assigned to deal with the mechanized infantry who had dismounted, but their two vehicles were knocked out one after another, leaving them almost dumbfounded. Only then did they remember their duty.
Two anti-tank teams were equally bewildered. They hadn't thought they were the main force, but now that their two main forces had been destroyed, the pressure had suddenly shifted to them.
Don't worry, a professional team to reduce your workload is now online.
"03, suppressive fire! 02, your three o'clock position!"
Sergei emptied half a magazine and, after assessing the situation on the other side, immediately issued the combat mission.
"It's x2!"
The MG3 started roaring, and Nikolai was covered in ammunition belts. In addition to bullets, the assistant gunner had a spare barrel, which could keep them firing for half an hour.
Of course, he only played a suppressive role; the most important task for their group was still Alexander 02.
The rocket shooter put down his rifle, pulled the At-4 on his back along the shoulder strap, and shouldered it.
The safety was disarmed before Alexander got off the vehicle, and he aimed directly at the anti-tank position 500 meters away.
According to the instruction manual included with the product, the effective range of the At-4 is 300 meters, but experienced shooters can hit targets more than 500 meters away with a very high success rate.
If you ask me what the secret is, I have no other way than practice makes perfect.
"Bang!"
A dual-purpose high-explosive rocket (hEdp) set to detonate upon impact burst out of a disposable fiberglass launcher and flew toward a competition missile that was aiming at a Marder A3 tank on the position.
"Boom!"
The poor bullet was blown up on the launcher, even though it really wanted to penetrate a heavy infantry fighting vehicle.
Excellent weapons + excellent users = explosive combat power!
Excellent weapon + terrible user = Shit!
"Bang~ Bang~ Bang~~"
Amidst the soft explosion, a cloud of smoke rose in the distance.
Was it the last BMP-2 that released smoke grenades? Did they chicken out?
They immediately blasted two of our own vehicle crews, followed by mechanized infantry that took out an anti-tank position from an extremely long distance. That's brutal!
Therefore, it was a failed ambush. The commander of vehicle number 1 was planning to run away, but the battalion commander's words made him hesitate.
"Listen, two PT-76M tanks will be arriving soon as reinforcements, and there will be a second batch later. You must hold them off for me."
Upon hearing reports from his subordinates that vehicles number 2 and 3 had been destroyed, Cohen, unable to sit still any longer, dispatched even more crews.
