Soon, all the vehicles started to move.Du Yuming heard a long whistle from the herald in the earphones, and he clearly felt that his feet began to rumble, and thick black smoke rose from the exhaust pipe at the rear, like the sound of a sleeping lion slowly waking up. roar.

"My car is in the front, and 1322 is in the back. In 15 minutes, we will join the special forces unit of the paratrooper reconnaissance company in Melha Village." After understanding the meaning of the company commander, Du Yuming issued an order.

"Okay, let's act." After assigning the following tasks, he straightened up his body slightly, and waved his hand forward vigorously: "Forward." Then the No. 1331 tank trembled violently, highlighting this At that time, the chariot under Du Yuming's feet seemed to be reluctant to be driven by them. The engine roared frantically and the tracks rattled. When Xiao Wang let go of the brakes, the entire No. [-] chariot immediately looked like a wild beast rushing out of its cage. , crushing the bushes in front of them.

"Wang Baosheng, the speed is 15 kilometers, follow the front." Du Yuming ordered after carefully observing the surrounding situation.

"Understood." Wang Baosheng replied.

The road is not easy to walk, mainly because there are a lot of sand and rocks in this area, and of course, it is also caused by the early bombing of the Dragon Army, and the road is full of potholes.However, this situation did not last long.When their convoy turned a small road, the whole body immediately became much more relaxed, but Du Yuming seemed to be fully loaded, and did not dare to relax at all.Because no one knows if there are French ambushes or landmines nearby.He stretched half of his body out of the tank conning tower and looked around with a telescope.Looking at the campsite far away behind, I couldn't help thinking again, wondering if there would be such a good campsite tonight.

After a 10-minute march, they finally arrived at the intermediate station, Vasata Village. As soon as several tanks arrived outside Vasata Village, Du Yuming immediately ordered everyone to stop and stand by, and ordered a scout motorcycle to enter the village for reconnaissance.Unexpectedly, less than 2 minutes after the car entered, gunshots erupted in the village.Not much effort, a communications soldier ran back rolling and crawling.

Du Yuming became angry when he saw it, and asked loudly, "What's going on?"

"French! There are French in the village!" the messenger stammered.

"1322, come in with me, 1312 is on standby." Then, he said to an armored soldier next to him: "One squad will follow me, and the rest will defend outside!"

"What? Tell me to go, why am I so unlucky." Liu Fuming, the operator of the No. 1322 weapon * complained from the walkie-talkie, but he immediately replied resolutely: "Yes, sir."

"Baosheng, maintain a speed of 20 kilometers per hour, Xiao Zhao, prepare the grenade, brothers, let's go." After setting up the task, the No. [-] tank started to move again, he quickly closed the hatch, and then put his eyes on the periscope .

"At two o'clock, stay alert." The tank rumbled into the middle of the village avenue. It seemed that the damage to the village was not serious, except for the scout motorcycle that was blown up by a landmine across the road. Something seemed wrong.He looked towards the accident site, and behind the haystack at 1 o'clock on the right, there was an iron pipe like a shaft. To be on the safe side, Du Yuming ordered: "Xiao Zhao, pay attention, at 2 o'clock, the distance is 300 meters away." , Once the target is locked, fire and attack!"

As soon as the words fell, a fire flashed behind the haystack, "When..." A shell was bounced off by the thick armor of the No. [-] tank.

"Fire, what the hell are you doing!" Du Yuming didn't finish his sentence, only heard the muffled sound of the main gun inside the car, "Boom!!!" A shell shot out, immediately blasting the haystack to the ground, A tire was thrown into the air by the blast, and only a wreck remained of an anti-tank gun. Two French soldiers with only half their bodies were killed on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, Du Yuming saw four or five Frenchmen throwing a few strange long objects towards their chariots, "Da da da", before these French soldiers came close , A shuttle of bullets was like a red scythe, slamming on the Frenchman, and several French soldiers fell to the ground without even humming.

"Damn it! It looks like there are quite a few French devils hiding here." Du Yuming sweated and scolded fiercely: "Xiao Zhao, at 1 o'clock, flatten that house. Baosheng, give me this place." Flatten. Liu Feng, ask those idiots from 1322 if they have followed."

"Boom!" Xiao Zhao's main gun fired again, and Du Yuming could see clearly through the periscope that the house disappeared without a trace after a burst of fireworks, as if a sudden gas explosion.At the same time, Wang Baosheng drove the huge No. [-] tank and smashed the small barn to their left because it was a weak point of firepower.It is very likely that French soldiers will throw grenades on the side of their tanks through this blind spot, and if that happens, it will be really troublesome.

Du Yuming saw a few French devils running out from a few trees not far away, holding the long strange thing in his hand, and was about to throw it at them again.

"Damn it, anti-tank grenade!" This time Du Yuming realized that it was an anti-tank grenade developed by the French.He hastily fired a snake core machine gun, pushed open the hatch, and slammed at the route of the French charge. The two Frenchmen who ran at the front fell under the rain of bullets, and the two behind hurriedly threw them away. Anti-tank grenade, (this kind of grenade weighs 1.1 kg is very inconvenient to run), ran to the back of the house to hide.

"Want to run? It's not that easy!" Xiao Zhao swung the muzzle to their hiding place. After a "boom", the French soldiers were blown up together with the house.

After the smoke cleared, the platoon leader's voice came from Du Yuming's walkie-talkie, "1331, what's going on, why did you leave the team without authorization?"

Just as Du Yuming was about to answer, he suddenly noticed that there were people moving at 4 o'clock behind him on the right, but these people didn't seem to have opened fire on them. Du Yuming picked up the binoculars and took a closer look. It turned out that the troops accompanying the army were crawling forward.

"It's really time, I just finished beating, and you came here to pick up the bargain." Du Yuming cursed.

Next, Du Yuming and the infantry pulled out several French bunkers lurking in the village, and the gunfire gradually died down. The infantry of several assault companies then cleaned the battlefield. They killed the last few resisters and captured them. Two prisoners were taken, one of whom was an officer.So, Du Yuming ordered his chariots to defend the periphery, while urgently interrogating the hapless French officer.

Soon they got an astonishing news from the officer. They belonged to the French Sulaymaniyah garrison. The defense they built here was not to defend against the attack of the Dragon Army armored force, but to protect themselves The flank of the troops, because after 15 minutes, a large French armored force will pass the nearby road and head northwest. Their goal is the Marfa port that the Dragon Army has already occupied.

Hearing this news, Du Yuming was immediately stunned, and he immediately raised his wrist to look at his watch.Now, his big troops still have 10 minutes to arrive.If this is the case, then the situation is dangerous.Now the sky has darkened, and the air force has been unable to attack.If the French rush over from here, can their own troops stop this huge French armored force with just three tanks and two platoons of infantry?

Middle East Storm 8 Chapter [-] Snake Tunxiang

But now time waits for no one. If he gives up this defensive frontier, the French will rush through here very smoothly.If they choose to go another way, their own armored forces will not be able to catch up.At that time, Port Marfa will be raided by the French, and the dragon army there will be caught off guard. It is really uncertain whether they can resist it.So he immediately made a decision, "Damn, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, I'll fight the French devils!"

After entering the village, he immediately contacted the commando captain of the infantry, and immediately asked them to drive to the road next to Vasata village with the tank to set up an ambush, and let their infantry be the vanguard. Such a small group of French infantry, let them deal with it. Of course, if they encounter a large-scale French tank force, Du Yuming and others will deal with it.After discussing the tactics, Du Yuming and the remaining two tank commanders hurried back to their cars. Du Yuming is the most experienced veteran here. At this time, the other brothers had long since lost their minds and all for him The horse's head is looking forward.Du Yuming asked the troops to recuperate for 2 minutes to check the damage of their own equipment. He himself quickly took the opportunity to drink some water and eat some dry food, and at the same time let the crew members come out to get some fresh air.

The infantry assault captain who stayed to protect Du Yuming and the others was a tall Northwesterner named Chen Ming. He and his assault team originally belonged to Tang Shengzhi's 1st Infantry Brigade, but were transferred to the armored force due to combat needs. Assisting defense, their equipment seems to be quite sophisticated, and these soldiers are well-trained, with a murderous look in their eyes, the two French prisoners were escorted by Chen Ming, and the other infantry boarded a A miniature truck and a half-track motorcycle followed closely behind.

This armored squad started to advance again. At this time, the main force of their company had already rushed to Sulaymaniyah, leaving only this lonely squad, who didn't know their goals or their future.

When the chariot drove on the road again, Du Yuming felt much calmer. After all, he now had infantry to protect his tanks. Although it wasn't really "like a tiger with wings", it was still much better than before.A group of people were walking on the bumpy country road, although they were very nervous inside.No one knows what awaits them!

After a three-minute march, they finally reached the predetermined position.From the map point of view, this place is the most suitable for defense.Because there is a small highland nearby, the road passes by the highland, and the road can be guarded through the highland.However, after Du Yuming carefully checked the surrounding terrain, he found that this is not an ideal place to set up an ambush, because this highland is too prominent, and the French should also be able to notice this. , they may be locked by French artillery fire.If the opponent uses a large-caliber howitzer or a mountain cannon, it will have a great impact on one's own side.Thinking of this, Du Yuming's mind began to turn. He saw a small depression, surrounded by farmland, which stretched to both sides of the road, and inside this depression, there were shrubs more than three meters high. It is rare in Iraq, a country full of deserts.Seeing this, a bold plan emerged in Du Yuming's mind, so he decided to take the initiative to attack the enemy. This is the best tactic to adopt when the enemy is strong and we are weak.

Soon Du Yuming summoned everyone, including the infantry assault team that protected them, and everyone gathered together to listen carefully to Du Yuming's plan, "Listen everyone, there is a road two kilometers away from our front. According to intelligence, the French People are likely to attack Marfa Port through here. Since our information is very limited, we don't know how many troops they have for the time being. According to the captives, they have about a battalion of armored equipment, including about dozens of MAX-30 heavy-duty vehicles. Tanks and Renault light tanks. In addition, they may have 40 to 60 mountain guns or howitzers and an unknown number of 24-pound anti-tank guns. I just observed it and found that if we defend passively, once the French find us, it is very likely It will deal a fatal blow to us. But in order to carry out the intention of the headquarters, this time we will have to adopt defense to hold the enemy, so I decided to adopt defensive and offensive tactics, and first send a tank and a squad of infantry to fight on the high ground defend, while the remaining two tanks set up an ambush in the opposite depression. If the enemy passes by here, the tank on the high ground will fire first, trying to destroy the leading tank of the opponent, stop their entire convoy, and then prepare The two tanks lying in the depression came out from the side and rear, cut off the entire French formation, and finally defeated them." Du Yuming said while drawing a rough battle symbol on the map with a tree branch.

After a while, he said again: "Now I need a volunteer to take on the task of luring the enemy. Who is willing to undertake this task?" Having said that, Du Yuming glanced at the other two commanders.

"Let me come!" Seeing that everyone was silent, Ren Zhankui, the commander of No. 1312, said, "Although this task looks very difficult on the surface, I don't think it will be life-threatening. On the contrary, I think it is better to follow you." It's dangerous, because I never know what you're going to do next." Speaking of which, he smiled slightly.

After confirming the final task, Du Yuming immediately issued the final order: "Okay! Now that everyone understands, check the watch now, it is 6:55, act!"

Everyone knows the arduousness of this mission, 3 tanks against dozens of other main tanks, people who don't understand the situation will definitely think that Du Yuming and the others must be crazy!

Du Yuming ran back to his car and told the crew his plan. The loader Xiao Zhao quickly lit a cigarette and smoked it greedily. The gunner Liu Feng took out the amulet hanging on his chest and prayed silently. Observer Liu Bingsen was devouring a piece of ham. The train captain Wang Baosheng took out the letter from home and looked at it again. Du Yuming picked up his notebook and wrote the following line on it: "January 1916, 1 At 6:6 p.m., enter the ambush site and prepare for battle..."

After a short rest, Du Yuming commanded his No. 1331 chariot to hide in a bush under the cover of another No. 1322. Soon several infantry rushed over from the side to help Du Yuming and other crew members use some Trees and shrubs hid the two huge Tiger tanks, leaving only the black muzzle pointing towards the intersection, while the rest of the infantry began to set up directional mines and machine gun firing positions on both sides of the road, ready to block.

After everything was ready, Du Yuming leaned on the command tower of the tank and slowly closed his eyes. Now everything that should be done has been done, and the rest is to wait for the French army to pass here, and then destroy them according to the original plan.Of course, if the main force of the dragon army's armored force can arrive in time, the problem will become very simple. All I have to do is to hand over the defense task to the main force.

The time passed minute by minute. Du Yuming looked at his watch and saw that more than ten minutes had passed, but the French troops hadn't arrived yet, nor had his own main force.Du Yuming felt a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to use the radio to communicate, because the French were probably nearby, and if he rashly communicated with the radio, the enemy would find out the clues, which would expose his entire plan, so he only To be able to keep the damn radio silent until those French devils walked into their ambush circle.

In fact, Du Yuming didn't know that the Chinese and French tank units had problems on the road. The follow-up troops of the Dragon Army actually arrived at the village 10 minutes after Du Yuming left, but they encountered a little trouble on the road. A tank accidentally turned over into a ditch next to it because of the darkness.As a result, a large blockage of the entire convoy was caused, which greatly slowed down the speed of travel.

On the other side, the French were also late.The reason they were late was related to Du Yuming.It was precisely because Du Yuming ignited the artillery fire in Wasata Village half an hour ago that the tank unit stopped advancing. The suspicious commander Michelle Legris immediately ordered his troops to stop, and then He quickly dispatched the reconnaissance troops to scout the situation. After waiting for half an hour for no reason, the reconnaissance troops brought a few disheartened French soldiers, and they brought a big news, that is, the dragon army appeared in Wasata Village It is definitely not a light tank, but it seems to be the main battle tank of the Dragon Army.In addition, there are varying numbers of Dragon Army mechanized infantry.The defense of Vasata Village was torn apart by these hateful Chinese. It is estimated that the Chinese have occupied the village now.

Michelle Legris immediately became worried. If this was the case, his attack might be exposed.Thinking of this, Legris immediately ordered the infantry to stop, and then sent a reconnaissance force carrying radio communication equipment to Vasata Village to scout the situation.Of course, they did not see any traces of the Chinese, but instead saw the Chinese tank troops that were encountering a big traffic jam.The excited communicator conveyed this information to Legris.

"How many enemy tanks are there?" Legris asked calmly.

"I don't know how to drive. It is estimated that there may be hundreds of vehicles."

"Order the troops to bypass the enemy's armored forces and move on!" Legris is not an idiot. If he uses his own dozens of tanks to fight against the enemy's hundreds of tanks, what are the chances of winning?

Middle East Storm Chapter 821 Iron-Blooded Tiger Ben

"Captain! Enemy tanks were found!" Just as Du Yuming was about to go crazy, the observer Liu Bingsen suddenly called out.

Hearing this news, Du Yuming immediately jumped up as if a spring had been taut, then he quickly opened the hatch and raised the telescope in his hand.Mainly due to the occlusion of the bushes, the periscope could not obtain a good observation field of view, so Du Yuming had to take this dangerous observation and aiming action.Soon, through the binoculars, he saw the French tank column slowly driving on the curved dirt road.As it was approaching night, the objects in the telescope became very blurred, so the outline of the observation was not very clear.Fortunately, these tanks had their headlights on, so some details were still fully exposed in Du Yuming's telescope.The vanguard of this force had passed the first bend of the ambush circle, where a large number of anti-personnel mines were planted.There are about 30 Renault light tanks, all painted in very dirty khaki camouflage, crawling slowly on the dirt road, like ugly toads.

"Attention all commanders, attention all commanders, prepare to fight." Du Yuming immediately turned on the short-frequency intercom and issued an order, then he checked the time, 7:10, seeing that a fierce battle was imminent!

Observer Liu Bingsen saw densely packed French tanks lined up in a column, with black smoke rising from behind their buttocks, making loud noises, rumbling and approaching the trail quickly.Soon he focused on a Renault tank with the number 1308 running in the front, with a pennant on it, which seemed to be a command vehicle.He twisted the focus adjustment knob on the telescope and said, "Here they come! Here they come!"

Seeing the French approaching the ambush circle step by step, Du Yuming was as excited as if he had been pumped with chicken blood.

Du Yuming suddenly closed his eyes and murmured: "Target 1308 car, 11 o'clock direction, distance 1200 meters, wind force two levels, focus adjustment 2 minutes, auxiliary ranging target 950 3 meters high tree. Prepare armor-piercing bullets. Don't worry, don't worry, wait until it comes over."

"Okay! The target distance is 1100 meters, turn the muzzle."

"950 meters...the target is approaching."

Du Yuming opened his eyes suddenly, and suddenly stretched out his right hand: "Get ready—fire!"

As soon as the words fell, the 105mm main gun of the Tiger tank roared instantly, boom——, the No. 1308 tank rushing to the front obviously slowed down. Looking at the tank, there is no damage, but if you look inside, it is already in a mess.
