154: BRDM-2 reconnaissance vehicle and BMPT-72 support vehicle
“Good! Well bombed!”
Watching the images on the light screen, Lee Tae-yong couldn't help but cheer.
“Who said the Mao Xiong Country’s army cannot be defeated?! As long as we seize the initiative, we can still win.”
“Haha! Good! President Li truly has a brain,” Park Jung-young also couldn't help but praise him.
Lee Tae-yong’s confidence instantly soared, and his fighting spirit intensified.
He indeed gained an advantage in this ambush attack; at the very least, he wasn't being unilaterally chased and beaten!
He took out several Amata T-14 main battle tanks with one move.
This was a battle achievement that Kim Geun-seok, as Commander, had never achieved before!
Everyone’s eyes must be sharp; this already proved that he was much stronger than Kim Geun-seok.
Kim Geun-seok had fought so many rounds and never gained an advantage!
Everything was pretty much as he had expected.
The Mao Xiong Country’s Amata T-14 tanks were indeed not suitable for mountain combat.
Even with strong destructive power, due to the limited elevation angle of the main gun barrel, the Armata simply couldn't hit the military equipment he had ambushed at the strategic points.
If it can't hit, it's equal to zero!
If this continued, it wasn't impossible to completely annihilate this Mao Xiong Country tank army!
In fact, Lee Tae-yong never thought that he could completely defeat the Mao Xiong Country with Ma Country’s meager strength; it was enough to show their momentum and achieve the effect that the Korean people should have.
Afterward, He’er would eventually make a move, and the difference lay in whether the Korean people had shown their momentum!
Annihilating an entire tank army was a victory for him.
Of course, it was not impossible to achieve better results later, depending on the battle situation.
“Hahaha, Lin Ye! Do you really think South Korea has no one?”
“That’s just because I, Lee Tae-yong, haven’t entered the field yet!”
… … … …
But just as Lee Tae-yong was reveling in his self-satisfaction,
A sudden situation occurred with the footage from the first strategic point on the light screen! A series of strange sounds came through.
“President Li… President Li, quickly look, what is this?”
Lee Tae-yong quickly looked at the light screen and was instantly stunned.
In the picture, amidst the rolling smoke, countless black shadows suddenly appeared.
Within the Mao Xiong Country’s tank formation, a group of military units that had never been seen in previous instances suddenly emerged. They directly swapped positions with the Amata T-14 tanks, lining up at the very front of the military formation.
These military equipment were generally divided into two types.
One looked like a specially modified jeep, with a single-person turret in the center of the vehicle.
Around the turret, wide observation windows were embedded on three sides, like the sharp and profound eyes of an eagle, capable of discerning all enemy situations.
There were about dozens of this type, moving extremely fast, directly evading the artillery bombardment of the strategic points, and speeding forward, seemingly to pursue Choi Tae-won’s motorcycle unit ahead.
However, while in pursuit, they were also continuously scanning outwards with infrared, which looked very strange.
There was also a more exaggerated type, with an overall gray body and a chassis that looked very similar to the Armata T-14, but the overall body was much lower.
Like a lurking leopard, ready to launch a fierce attack at any time.
However, its uniqueness was not just in the lowered body. What was even more striking was that the cockpit was placed high up, as if riding on the shoulders of the entire tank.
This design not only increased the driver's field of vision but also raised the position of the weapons.
The top of the tank was equipped with two 30mm automatic cannons, and there were also two sets of missile launchers on both sides of the turret.
So it looked like it had a big head and a small body.
… …
These two types were the BRDM-2 Armored Amphibious Wheeled Reconnaissance Vehicle and the BMPT-72 Fire Support Vehicle!
The BRDM-2 Armored Reconnaissance Vehicle, a pinnacle of Mao Xiong Country’s reconnaissance field, possesses exceptional amphibious capabilities and speed as swift as the wind. It can adapt to constant changes on the ever-changing battlefield.
Its main function is naturally to penetrate deep behind enemy lines to gather intelligence. It is equipped with Mao Xiong Country’s most advanced information collection platform.
At the same time, the turret is equipped with five anti-tank missiles, which can also conduct strategic counterattacks when necessary.
Normally, it will not actively attack, but in a desperate situation, it can also defend itself.
The moment the BRDM-2 Armored Reconnaissance Vehicle rushed out of the smoke to track the motorcycle army, it had already locked onto the exact positions of various military equipment at Ma Country’s strategic points.
And the other offensive type was the BMPT-72 Fire Support Vehicle!
This type also has another name: Tank Support Vehicle, Urban Combat Terminator.
This vehicle type was meticulously crafted to fight alongside Armata Tanks, jointly addressing various challenges.
In other words, it was designed to complement the Armata Tank.
As is well known, while tanks have strong offensive capabilities, their mobility is generally poor.
As is well known, while tanks possess powerful offensive capabilities, they often fall short in terms of mobility.
Especially in complex terrain environments, such as mountainous areas and narrow alleys, light infantry can easily find the weak points of tanks and launch surprise attacks by leveraging terrain advantages, at which point the tank's clumsiness becomes its fatal weakness.
The BMPT-72 Fire Support Vehicle is a special model specifically designed for such battle conditions.
This type of vehicle boasts excellent mobility and off-road performance.
It can even climb over obstacles about 1.5 meters high, and the turret on the vehicle can move at an angle of approximately 70 degrees.
Attacking units on the mountain from below is no longer an issue, let alone the Korean military equipment currently ambushed on the high ground on both sides of the road.
In addition, the defensive performance of this fire support vehicle is also extremely powerful.
It even has the ability to defend against anti-tank rockets!
Generally, this type is paired with the Amata T-14 at a ratio of 2:1 to help the Amata cope with various extreme terrain environments.
Its existence is like equipping the Armata Tank with a sharp sword and a sturdy shield, making the tank more at home in complex terrain combat.
Boom boom boom!
Braving the artillery fire of the Korean military equipment, the BMPT-72 Fire Support Vehicle rushed ahead of the Amata T-14 main battle tanks.
Countless anti-tank missiles were launched from the BMPT-72 Fire Support Vehicle, piercing through the sky.
They flew from bottom to top, yet showed no signs of weakening.
They directly blew all the tanks, heavy cannons, and howitzer vehicles at the strategic points upside down.
At the same time, the T-16 Armored Recovery Vehicle that had appeared earlier also rushed out and began on-site repairs of the damaged Armata tanks.
“How is that possible?!”
Outside the screen, Lee Tae-yong coughed twice, completely dumbfounded.
He had never seen such a bizarre tank that could fire shells at a nearly vertical angle!
