Chapter 650 Steel Fortress

Seeing that the situation was under control, Xu Li ordered in a low voice No. [-], who was guarding the door, to find Young Master Hong and prepare to retreat.Others also cover each other and prepare to leave the mountain.As long as they go down the mountain and get in the car, these gangsters will never dare to chase them to a nearby small town during the day with their current strength.

No. [-] just found Hong Shao who had almost buried himself in the ground in the bushes outside the camp. Before everyone started to retreat, he suddenly heard a huge roar of a diesel engine coming from the mountain behind the camp.Xu Li and the others were taken aback. They were all people who had been on the battlefield. Hearing this huge roar sounded very familiar. It was by no means the sound of an ordinary car, and there could be no large-scale construction machinery in this heavy mountain.Xu Li suddenly yelled: "No, it's an armored vehicle! Everyone be careful!"

As soon as Xu Li finished speaking, a wooden house collapsed behind the camp, and a huge steel monster rushed out of the ruins.Xu Li took a closer look and found out what kind of armored vehicle there is, they are light tanks!Taking advantage of the surrounding flames, Xu Li looked carefully for a while, and then shouted to the others: "It's an American Sheridan light tank, everyone pay attention to concealment! There may be night vision devices on the vehicle!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. If the other party had a night vision device at night, and he was such an iron guy, he didn't have any heavy weapons at all. He had no choice but to become his target.

I saw the Sheridan light tank relying on its strong power of 300 horsepower, easily climbed out of the two-meter-deep pit in the wooden house, and then rushed all the way to the center of the camp. Fortunately, the opponent did not fire blindly, otherwise everyone would not Know how to dodge.

At this time, the driver sitting in the tank is in the picture!This tank was the last life-saving weapon that Tu Nei obtained before the fall of UNITA. With this tank, even if the government troops sent thousands of people, they would not be able to easily capture their camp.But today, Xu Li and others defeated him. Tu Nei knew that if he didn't take out this last sharp weapon today, he might not have a chance to use it in the future.

The Sheridan tank is a light tank produced in the United States. The first batch of prototypes were produced at the end of 1962 and delivered to the troops for testing in early 1963. It was not until 1967 that it was partially equipped with the US Armored Cavalry (Reconnaissance) Battalion. From 1966 to 1970, the United States produced a total of 1700 tanks, which were mainly used by armored reconnaissance units and airborne divisions. At the same time, they also provided fire support in areas where the main battle tanks could not be deployed during combined arms operations. From 1968 to 1969, the United States used 64 tanks in the Vietnam War and found that there were problems with its engine transmission, suspension and combustible cartridges. In 1978, the United States announced that except for the continued equipment of the 82nd Airborne Division, all others would cease to be used.

The materials and money spent on researching a tank cannot be calculated, not to mention that more than 1000 vehicles have been produced, and they cannot all be thrown into the scrap iron processing plant. Therefore, this tank has also become an important weapon for the United States to "support" brother countries.And UNITA in Angola is one of the "brothers" of the United States, so it is also fortunate to be supported by [-] units.

In decades of civil war, few of the fifty tanks were lost, but Tunet was lucky enough to keep one, which became his trump card.Although this tank has been produced for more than [-] years and has been traumatized many times in the war, at least it is still in the hands of Tu Nei.Especially after the civil war ended, Tone regarded this tank as a treasure, and specially built a large wooden house in the camp to park the tank.

However, this tank is too tall for a normal wooden house to accommodate, and in the picture, he is afraid that the garage will be too protruding and will attract the enemy's attack, so he dug a deep hole of more than two meters in the ground, and put the tank in it. And built walls around it, and repaired the roof.This method did play a certain role in camouflage, at least Xu Li and others failed to find this big guy after they entered the camp, which led to the current passive situation.

Although this tank has not been driven out of the garage for several years, in order to ensure the normal operation of this big baby, Tu Nei has taken great pains. A dedicated maintainer for a tank will maintain the tank every other time, and start the tank to move back and forth in the small garage to prevent the chain from falling off at critical moments.

Today, Tu Nei finally used this trump card, but Tu Nei, who was sitting in the tank, knew it.I am the only one in the whole tank, but the cockpit of the tank is in the front, and the battle compartment is in the middle. If you want to start the tank, you can’t fire shells. fighting power.

In addition, there have been no professional maintenance personnel for more than [-] years. The equipment and weapons originally equipped on the tank can not be used much, and even the ammunition is pitifully scarce.

This Sheridan tank is normally equipped with an M81-style 152mm main gun. The ammunition base is 10 missiles and 20 shells. Not even a hair.The tank is also designed with an m1-type 73mm parallel machine gun, and an anti-aircraft machine gun is installed on the conning tower, but now only the parallel machine gun can still be used, but there is not much ammunition, only a few thousand rounds.

Even the driver, the commander's conning tower, and the gunner used a total of more than a dozen periscopes, observation mirrors, and sights, but now there are only two, one is at the driver's position, and the other is at the commander's position. There are shells, but no scope at all, let alone night vision.Even with 4 forward gears and 2 reverse gears, now only the first forward gear and one reverse gear are easy to use. As for the other standard equipment of the tank, it includes a heater, an exhaust fan on the top of the turret, a fire extinguishing device and a three-proof device It's long gone.

The only working m73 7.62mm side-by-side machine gun on the roof is not operated by anyone, and the entire tank is simply a decoration.So don't look at this tank as menacing, but it is actually just a grand view garden of Jia's mansion - strong on the outside but strong on the inside, without much combat effectiveness.

But outsiders knew this. Xu Li and the others immediately hid themselves when they saw this iron guy, for fear of being seen by the other party's night vision device.But how did they know that the other party didn't even talk about night vision goggles, and even the gunner's scope didn't work.If Xu Li and the others knew about this situation, they could easily capture this stupid fellow as long as they went up alone.
