Chapter 405： Small setback (1/2)
”Suddenly!” The sound of the dense 12.7mm caliber machine guns reverberated in the noisy battlefield, and was immediately suppressed by the sound of the bomb explosion, turning it into an inconspicuous soundtrack.
In front of the t-72 tank, the wreckage of a burning armored reconnaissance vehicle was burning, and the tracer passed through the thick smoke of the armored vehicle and into the small village in front of it.
A little further ahead, the infantry fighting vehicle was reversing a little bit, covering the Ailan Hill soldiers who had retreated from the village.
”Let them get out of here! Quick! Our wings are about to be surrounded!” While remotely controlling his machine gun, Tony shouted loudly to the commander of the Ailan Hill infantry in the distance.
When they attacked the village, they received a fierce counterattack from the opponent. The devil dog was trying to outflank their wings, and there was a demon army in the village that was stubbornly resisting.
A fireball hit the magic defensive barrier in front of the infantry fighting vehicle, splashing a burst of flames. It's like a burst of fireworks, the brilliance dissipated in an instant.
The infantry fighting vehicle was reversing a little bit slowly, and then pointed its thickest frontal armor as far as possible in the most dangerous direction.
”Speed up! Go ahead! Crash the wreckage of the scout car! Go ahead of the entire infantry! Cover their retreat!” While continuing to fire, Tony pressed his throat communicator and ordered his driver to move forward.
The powerful power unit of the t-72 tank began to roar, and then the entire tank slammed forward. The front fender hit the wreckage of the armored reconnaissance vehicle, immediately distorting its shape.
However, in the face of the wreckage of a reconnaissance vehicle weighing less than ten tons, the power of the t-72 tank is still very strong and more than enough. With only a bang, the smoke-bearing wreck was knocked aside by the t-72 tank.
Then, the rotating track scraped away the deformed mudguard leaning on the track, and the entire tank continued to rush forward.
Tony poked his head out, saw his tank cross the front line of friendly soldiers, immediately retracted into the car, and pressed the smoke bomb launch button a few seconds later.
The smoke bombs installed on both sides of the t-72 tank turret were immediately launched, exploding in front of the tank, and filled with a cloud of white smoke.
The cloud of white smoke dispersed little by little, covering the T-72 tank where Tony was and also blocking the sight of the demons in the village.
”Retreat! Disengage! I'll take cover!” Tony stuck his head out again and shouted at the friendly soldier next to his tank.
The machine gun team, which was lying on the ground and shooting continuously, heard the shout, immediately picked up the machine gun, turned and ran back. An assault rifleman who was in charge of covering the machine gun team also got up and retreated a few seconds after the machine gun was transferred.
After such a long battle, these soldiers have been able to execute various orders on the battlefield proficiently and orderly. They are all veterans who have gone through battle, and they are the backbone and core of Ailan Hill's army.
”Wow!” A huge javelin rushed through the smoke from the retreat and hit the front of the T-72 tank's armor. Because of the reliable magical defense barrier, the javelin was stopped a few centimeters from the tank's armor, and then it flew into the air.
”We are attacked! We are attacked! Tony!” The gunner has turned on the infrared sighting system, looking at the battlefield through the smoke. He felt the shock and reminded his captain loudly.
Of course Tony also knew that they were attacked, and the obvious vibration represented danger, so he reacted immediately: ”Back up! Back up!”
The driver did not hesitate and immediately put on reverse gear. The t-72 tank stopped in place for less than two seconds, and then began to reverse rapidly.
In the process of reversing, Tony, who could not see the battlefield situation clearly, grabbed the intercom and asked loudly in the channel: ”I am reversing! Have the infantry retreated? Have they retreated? I can't see it!”
”They are retreating! You are backing up too fast! You have your own person behind your tank! Attention! Slow down!” The commander in the infantry fighting vehicle reminded Tony on the channel to pay attention to his backing speed.
”Slow down! Slow down! We have our own people behind our tank!” Tony immediately reminded the driver to pay attention to the speed: ”We are being attacked! There is a javelin attacking my tank!”
”I saw it! They are also attacking us! We can't hold it anymore! The magic defense barrier has failed!” The commander of the infantry chariot shouted with a trace of panic in his tone.
”You continue to retreat! I will fire to cover you! The grenade fires! Just hit the village! Don't stop!” Tony grabbed the intercom, encouraged the commander of the infantry chariot with words, and then loudly ordered his gunner to fire.
”Boom!” A 125mm-caliber tank gun fired a shot at a distance of less than 300 meters, directly penetrating the smoke, and hitting a building in a village not far away.
