Chapter 329 Enemy Tanks!
The two were arguing when the tank passed through an alleyway, barely managing to squeeze past. Reaching a corner, it couldn't go any further and had to back up to adjust its position. The near-right-angle bend was too narrow. Then, unexpectedly, a tank appeared abruptly ahead. They initially thought it was one of their own, because since their mechanized unit entered the old town, they had mostly encountered guerrilla warfare from the enemy; they hadn't seen a single tank, let alone an armored vehicle. They assumed the enemy hadn't deployed tanks in the city.
This sudden appearance led them to assume it was from their side, but the next second, Yuan Jun immediately realized something was wrong and roared...
"Enemy tanks!!!"
Having served in the military for nearly ten years, always in the tank branch, he knows the various tank models in the army better than anyone. The tanks used in this counterattack against Vietnam are the Type 59, Type 62 light tank, Type 63 light amphibious tank, and T-34 medium tank they are currently using. The one on the other side is clearly not that type.
"Turn around quickly..."
The Type 59 is a medium tank, and it proved somewhat cumbersome in the narrow terrain of Lao Cai city. Just as they began to retreat, enemy tanks opened fire.
"Boom!"
A shell came flying in.
"Dodge!"
Yuan Jun and the other machine gunner hurriedly took cover in the cockpit. These weren't the machine gun bullets from before; they were powerful artillery shells. Even a shrapnel wound on you, let alone a direct hit, would be enough to cause serious injury.
As soon as the two entered the engine room, a deafening roar erupted, shaking the entire tank. Yuan Jun's first thought was, "We're doomed. It must have been a direct hit." Ignoring the danger, he immediately climbed back out of the engine room to check. He saw that the front of the tank had taken a solid hit, leaving it blackened. However, the damage didn't seem as severe as he had imagined; the armor wasn't breached. He guessed the enemy was a light tank with a relatively small main gun caliber.
The first shot hit, and the enemy tanks charged straight at them, intending to bombard them at close range. Yuan's army panicked.
"Quickly, turn around, Li Shengli, you son of a bitch, you were bragging so much, hurry up, turn around, turn around..."
They kept hurling insults at Li Shengli!
Inside the cockpit, Li Shengli had no time for banter. His expression was solemn as he moved the tank back slightly, adjusting its angle.
"Run it over, run it straight over, increase the power, increase it..."
"Boom boom boom..."
The diesel engine roared and howled, billowing black smoke behind it. The Type 59 tank smashed through the right corner of the wall, finally freeing itself, and aimed its guns at the enemy tanks.
"Charge! Charge! Charge! Damn it, I'm coming!"
Both tanks charged in opposite directions, firing their cannons simultaneously.
"Boom! Boom!!!"
Two loud explosions followed. After the smoke cleared, the enemy tank's front armor was blasted open, its main gun blown off, billowing black smoke, and it was immobilized. Their tank, however, suffered only minor dents and black marks, just like the one hit by the first shell; there was no substantial damage. The two tanks were now very close, only about ten meters apart.
"Charge it! Charge straight at it! Knock it over!"
"Boom boom boom..." With another loud crash, the enemy tank was smashed into the riverbed, upside down, its tracks coming off, and it was completely overwhelmed!
"Stop, stop, stop!"
The tank stopped, and Yuan Jun jumped down immediately, rushing forward with a Type 56 submachine gun in hand.
