The bad guys will shoot first!

Therefore, Sean will definitely wait for the Malays to attack first to gain the advantage in public opinion.

For this reason, he will continue to put pressure on the Malays, even if they don't move!

Even though Malays have strong ability to withstand stress...

Before the action was about to take place, Sean had already given the highest order. He must obtain "evidence" that the Malay shot first. As for how this evidence came from, that was not important.

There must be a flexible bottom line! .....

The Malay army had made preparations to attack Kuching early. As soon as Kuala Lumpur issued the order, 3,000 troops were dispatched immediately.

After all, it is an all-Malay main force built by the Malay military. It receives special care in terms of equipment. It is a truly "elite" force built according to the world's first-class mechanized force!

At least it is elite in Southeast Asia. The entire army brigade is equipped with 28 Challenger 1 main battle tanks and has a high degree of mechanization.

Higher than the north, higher than the American combat brigade under the umbrella! Challenger 1, with a total combat weight of 62 tons, a crew of 4 people, a main gun of 120 rifled guns, and carrying 64 rounds of artillery shells. It was produced by the Royal Ordnance Factory in Leeds, England, and was equipped with the British Rhineland in 1983.

Legion.

It is one of the most advanced tanks in Britain!

Since the production of this tank was discontinued in 1990, with a total output of 420 units, only the closest associates can purchase this world's "most advanced" main battle tank from the British!

As for why it was discontinued, it is certainly not because of its poor performance in previous NATO shooting competitions and its inability to compare with American and German tanks of the same period, nor is it because of the huge difference in mobility of the Challenger 1.

Absolutely not!

People who think this way have too dark hearts! Don’t you believe the British? Don’t you?

On the ground, 28 tanks spread out to clear a path, followed by armored personnel carriers and anti-tank guided missile vehicles as support. In the sky, four armed helicopters hovered.

Although the higher-ups were prepared for defeat, they actually still had certain hopes for the ace unit they had spent a lot of money to build.

There are many types of defeats. If you can severely damage the American soldiers who are based on the American soldiers, it will be regarded as a display of authority and momentum!

After all, there is only one United States in the world. There is no shame in being unable to defeat the United States, but it is not easy to conquer Southeast Asia!

It was precisely for reasons such as internal morale, international attitude, and testing of troops that the Malay military finally made up its mind to fight this war.

As soon as the Malay military was dispatched here, the protective umbrella combat brigade deployed on the edge of the city entered combat mode.

The nearby residents have evacuated and the factories have stopped working. The place may fall into war at any time. This is the disadvantage of having a war on your own territory. No matter you win or lose, you will suffer heavy losses.

This is Brooke Kingdom, oh, that’s okay... Go ahead, damn it, anyway, Brooke Kingdom will be reimbursed in the end!

"Are you ready?" a major officer shouted over the intercom.

A few hundred meters away, a tank's muzzle was aimed at a building, and the sound of "ok" came from the intercom.

"Lighting, camera, sound..." The major coughed lightly, and imitated the director and shouted loudly: "tion!"

"Boom!" The fireman in the tank pressed the launch button, the barrel vibrated, and an artillery round hit the building. Amidst the roar, cement bricks flew all over the sky, and several "civilians" scurried under the building with their heads in their hands! "Cut!"

"Very good, did you take the photo?"

"It's done!" the war reporter said loudly after looking at the playback in the camera.

The major walked over and looked down. He was very satisfied. He reached out and patted the reporter, "The Malay army is so cruel. They even shelled civilians!"

"Bird feeding is cruel!" The reporter nodded in agreement.

This is not called fraud, this is called predicting the enemy's opportunities, this is called preparing for a rainy day, this is called strategizing!

The reporter is from New Century Media, and the major is from the Umbrella Intelligence Department. The reporter will continue to follow up and shoot if the same footage can be captured.

It's best if you can't take a photo and have ready-made evidence on hand.

After finishing the work, everyone should retreat immediately. This place will soon become a battlefield, so we can temporarily avoid the danger.

··.·..Kuching Airport.

Because of the impending war, all flights have been suspended and the airport staff are not at work, but there are many people in military uniforms here, protecting the ground staff of the Umbrella Air Force.

There was the sound of propellers turning in the sky, and propeller planes landed one after another from the sky.

As soon as the plane stopped, the ground staff rushed up in a work truck.

Maintenance, refueling, reloading, all in one go...

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" The tanks on both sides were the first to exchange fire!

On the five-kilometer battlefield, 14 M1 main station tanks came head-on.

Now that the Malay Army has fired the first shot, as a righteous party, the protective umbrella will naturally not back down.

There is a plain near Kuching. This is the home ground of tanks! Before the tanks decide the winner, infantry and armored vehicles dare not approach at all. If you approach, you will die!

"Boom", an armor-piercing shelling projectile hit the moving M1 with a loud bang. The shock wave blasted up gravel and soil dozens of meters high, filling the sky with smoke and dust.

There was constant roar on the battlefield. Occasionally, a shell hit the tank body, beating the tank. After a few seconds, the tank rushed out of the smoke and continued fighting.

For the Land King main battle tank, as long as the turret is not hit head-on, it is difficult to cause paralysis.

14 M1s faced off against 28 Challengers. Both sides fought evenly on this open battlefield, even though the Malay tanks were twice as many as the Umbrella tanks.

There is no comparability between the two sides in terms of training and equipment.

Fortunately, it is difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time during tank resistance. In the headquarters of both sides.

The Umbrella side has plenty of time to take care of it, and there is no rush. The Challenger's performance is fully under control. The tanks of both sides have fought against each other many times in various test competitions.

But the Malay army on the other side couldn't hold on anymore!

I originally thought that with twice as many tanks as the opponent, we would definitely have the upper hand, but now it seems that's not the case!

"What are you afraid of!"

"Order the tank troops to accelerate their advance, divide and surround the opponent, and break through the defense line as soon as possible!" Frontline commander Saijitan took a deep breath and ordered loudly. In his opinion, his own tank troops were still too cautious.

This reflects that our own troops lack combat experience and are a little timid on the battlefield, failing to give full play to their due advantages.

The Malay Army's goal is to attack Kuching, so what's the point of bombarding them from the outside?

In addition, their logistical supplies are not sufficient, and they are too far away from our own side, making it difficult to supply them. The longer the delay, the more disadvantageous it will be to our own side.

The protective umbrella can mobilize more people at any time, but it is impossible for the Malay side to invest unlimited resources.

This is not to say that the Malays have insufficient troops, but that they have a natural disadvantage in cross-sea operations.

Once the Umbrella's most powerful guided missile destroyer fleet arrives, it will inevitably block the sea completely. By then, they will be completely isolated and helpless. No need to fight, they will die of thirst!

With an order, the Malay tank troops mobilized, part of them aimed at the tanks entangled in the protective umbrella, and the other part began to bypass the battlefield and rush toward Kuching.

However, it is not just the front-line combatants who lack combat experience. Obviously, the crow falls on the pig, and others are in trouble just by looking at them!

The commander never thought that the ones who were the most inexperienced were the guys who could only talk on paper.

8 tanks had just bypassed the defense line, and the M1 all put on reverse gear.

It began to retreat at a high speed, rotated the turret, and began to focus fire on the weakly armored tank units on the leakage side and rear.

If the frontal armor is thick enough and cannot be penetrated, why can't it be penetrated on the back of your butt?

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

After a round of concentrated fire, the rear butts of two of the three locked tanks were smoking and they were completely stagnant. Only one of them managed to escape.

, the side and rear armor were in tatters and were almost penetrated. The Malay tanks responsible for the frontal entanglement were startled when they discovered the problem. They quickly locked on and opened fire to prepare for rescue. The tanks with umbrellas were always very vigilant and would never attack the weak tanks.

It leaked out from the side and rear, and continued to withstand the enemy's artillery fire for the second round of concentrated fire.

In the fire control system of the umbrella's tank company, the targets that needed to focus fire were all marked in red. The commander was very excited and roared and issued the command to focus fire again.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"...

Two of the eight tanks trying to bypass the battlefield were already lying down, and the remaining six were immediately thrown into chaos.

After hearing the news that two tanks had been destroyed, the rear commander realized that he had made a command mistake. He was in shock and didn't know for a while whether to continue to execute the wrong order or to withdraw quickly. It was just his hesitation that caused complete chaos on the battlefield ahead.

Some people wanted to turn around and run away, while others wanted to continue moving forward. The remaining six tanks were divided into two parts. One tank that attempted to retreat was once again paralyzed by concentrated fire.

It sounds troublesome, but actually on the battlefield, the tanks and artillery fired very quickly. It only took half a minute. The Malay side lost three tanks.

When the Malay commander saw that the retreating tanks were under heavy fire again, he immediately issued a loud order through the command system, "Team B, Team C will conduct an assault and rescue, entanglement!"

"Team A continues to charge, attacking from the side and rear!"

From Saigitan's point of view, if you can hit my weak side and rear armor, I can also hit yours. I still have an absolute advantage in numbers, so don't be afraid!

"15° side to side, full power, target locked, fire!!" The enemy's reactions are just this. The commander of the umbrella has too much combat experience. He knows how to respond as soon as the enemy moves and how to deal with the current situation.

Maintain the inclination angle of your own tank armor and enemy artillery fire to the maximum extent possible.

Don't look at the penetration depth of the artillery's armor-piercing projectiles. It is shot at a fixed target and when shooting vertically at 90°.

On the actual battlefield, with the target moving at high speed and the different inclination angles of the shell when it cuts into the armor, it is considered good to be able to exert 30% of its power!

This is experience!

And the Malay Army does not have these at all!

The tank backed up at high speed, and there was another round of concentrated fire, "Boom", "Boom", "Boom", "Boom"
To be continued...
