Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 1663 1664 Border Defense Line

 Tang Army’s tanks always used to have a red dragon flag on the roof as a sign to identify ourselves and the enemy. This is a tradition, but its actual effect is not great anymore.

Most Tang ground support aircraft cannot actually see targets as large as the roof of a tank. At most, they can only see a fleeting flash of red.

 More often, pilots rely on their own experience to judge the location of enemy and friendly targets, and this judgment is actually very subjective.

Even during the Gulf War, the problem of friendly fire was not completely solved. In order to avoid friendly fire, the lighthouse countries came up with various methods, but the results were still useless.

 Later, as technology became more advanced, accidental injuries began to be truly controlled. And this kind of control is more reflected in the battle of bullying.

If the two sides are evenly matched, then the interference methods of both sides will destroy each other's respective identification friend or foe systems, because this set of things can basically be said to be the most vulnerable link.

Those weak photoelectric signals and electromagnetic signals that are easily covered are still unable to completely guarantee the identity authentication of frontline troops.

 So, most of the time, smoke grenades, laser designators, and the seemingly invisible front line have become relatively more reliable means.

But since the era when Tang Army pilots began to use Stuka dive bombers on a large scale, the Tang Army's armored forces have been accustomed to laying a dragon flag on the roof of the vehicle to remind their pilots of their position.

 And this tradition has been preserved in this way. Anyway, having a little more life-saving means on the battlefield does not feel redundant at all.

More often, the Tang Army's tanks would even have a red flag directly painted on the top to indicate their identity... However, this kind of painting is easy to cause problems. At least the radiator grille at the rear of the tank is easy to get dirty. The red flag It turns brown with use.

 The military and political authorities have always felt that doing so is detrimental to the national system and damages the national flag, and should have been banned long ago. But the frontline troops had their own ideas. They seemed to think that with a national flag, the Tang Empire would protect them and have a safe journey...

 Twenty 96 tanks lined up in a row are still very powerful, especially since these tanks can reach a speed of about 40 kilometers per hour.

 Faster than light tanks, tougher than heavy tanks... The strength of the armored forces of the Tang Empire is fully reflected by these agile main battle tanks.

Although the Elf 5th Army brought a lot of anti-tank guns, these small water pipes really had no way of threatening the Tang Army at normal combat distances: the 50 mm caliber combat anti-tank gun already had a "toothpick" in the Elf army. "The nickname.

In fact, even the 75 mm caliber anti-tank gun has no way to deal with Tang Army tanks at a combat distance of 500 meters: they can probably leave a deep bullet mark on the armor of Tang Army tanks, but they really can't Penetrating armor causes any substantial damage.

 A battle ended like a one-sided massacre: the tanks of the Tang Army stopped at the edge of the position, using their range and observation advantages to blast away those well-hidden anti-tank guns one by one...

Tang Army's tanks even have crosswind sensors as standard equipment. The ballistic computer can provide the gunner with the most intuitively calculated aiming line. All the gunner has to do is fire according to the parameters, and he will have a high probability of hitting the target accurately.

 The technical level close to the 1980s ensures the first hit rate, and it often takes only one shot to kill a fixed target. For the Tang army, they were very confident that the firing distance did not exceed 700 meters. If it was about 500 meters, it could be captured with one hand, and if it was 400 meters, it would be possible to pinch the snail with three fingers. It was nine out of ten sure.

No matter how the elves camouflage their artillery and tanks, the Tang Army's sighting system can identify them: the key is that the view here is really good, and it is very suitable for the armored forces to advance.

But for the infantry of the 5th Army of the Elf Army stationed on the border, at 400 meters they saw that the tanks of the Tang Army were only the size of coins, and their penetration depth was not enough. In addition to exposing the position by reluctantly firing, the only thing left was the embarrassment of scratching the Tang Army's tank armor.

Seeing that another 50mm anti-tank gun was blown away, the commander of the defenders couldn't sit still: "If we keep waiting like this, all the heavy weapons we finally brought here will be given to them for nothing. ”

"Let all anti-tank guns fire! Even if they can't penetrate the opponent, we can't let the Tang people continue to be so arrogant! We can't let them aim calmly. Even if they are scared, they will be scared back two kilometers." He slapped his thigh and decided not to Let your men sit and wait for death.

There is no other way. The artillery is totally hopeless. They probably can only rely on the small 50- and 75-caliber water pipes they have.

Just a few minutes before the Tang Army’s tanks launched their attack, Tang’s Thunder attack aircraft swept through the artillery positions behind the Elf’s main defense line like a tsunami.

Those howitzers that were finally towed here are almost gone. If we expect those artillery to be effective, we might as well pray that there are brave pilots from the nearby field airfield to take off two Butcher attack aircraft...

Although the combat performance of the Butcher 190 fighter jet is no longer impressive, it is still one of the most numerous aircraft equipped by the Elf Air Force.

There is no way. After all, countries as wealthy as Tang Jun are really rare. Most countries need to choose a more realistic path to modernization and development based on their own circumstances.

At present, countries around the world have generally not phased out the Type 47 transport aircraft, and in many countries this aircraft is still the main transport model.

The remaining 150 mm caliber howitzers now dare not reveal their position easily: because the front line was suppressed by artillery fire from the Tang Army just now, this shows that there is a large Tang Army artillery unit nearby.

If your own artillery position is exposed first, it is likely to be directly suppressed, and the remaining wealth will be wiped out in less than two minutes.

The elven commanders probably guessed that it must be the self-propelled artillery equipped by the Tang Army that can keep up with the advancement of tanks. As for how many such artillery pieces there are, no one knows.

“Boom!” After a while, a 50mm anti-tank gun finally received the order and fired a shot to symbolize its existence. It's just that this shot was fired a little bit, and it was obviously some distance away from the target tank. The shell landed very politely between the two tanks, making it impossible to tell who it hit.
