Early the next morning, the troops continued to move forward. Li Chengdong's 1st Armored Company followed the 1st Battalion and marched northwest along the highway. In front of them was San Juan Martinez, a small Cuban city on the way to Havana. There were only 10,000 people in the city.
With a large population, the city is surrounded by tropical plantations such as sugar cane and coffee.
After the rapidly advancing troops approached the city, out of caution, the battalion commander did not order to enter the city, but issued an order to disperse: the infantry deployed according to the requirements in the tactics textbook, with the scouts in front and the troops dispersed.
, advancing quickly. A row of infantry passed through the plantation and headed towards the houses on the edge of the city.
The troops' attack was very cautious. Lu Kui, who was walking in the front of the team, raised his left hand from time to time to signal the troops to stop advancing. After carefully observing the front, he continued to move forward. Unlike ordinary soldiers, his waist
He had a leather map bag slung across his body and a pair of binoculars hanging around his neck. He looked like an officer at first glance.
On the battlefield, this became an extremely conspicuous target. Although he was cautious enough, just as he was observing the battlefield, a gunshot sounded from a distance.
A sniper fired from a house. Lu Kui fell to the ground, the bullet hit his throat. Blood gushes out from between his fingers.
"Lie down, lie down..."
Amid the shouts of the squad leaders, the soldiers lay down among the plantations. At the same time, gunfire erupted in the plantations.
“Cubans in the house!”
When the infantry was suppressed in the plantation and unable to attack, a tank was seen rushing over. However, in just a moment, the tank rushed in front of the infantry and rushed towards the position of the Cuban defenders.
As the tank was moving, the Cuban soldiers guarding the house kept firing at the tank. The bullets made a clanging sound on the tank, but they could not stop the tank from moving.
Just when the Cuban soldiers couldn't figure out what kind of monster they were charging at, there was a "boom" and the tanks fired at the house they were guarding. The shells hit the window accurately. In the violent explosion, the inside of the house was
The defenders may have been injured, and then the tanks, like moving forts, kept firing at the houses where the defenders were stationed.
Facing this invulnerable monster, when the frightened Cuban soldiers wanted to escape, the tanks directly chased them, shooting at the fleeing enemy soldiers with machine guns. On the battlefield, this tank looked like an ancient heavy armor.
Like a knight, he not only ran rampant on the battlefield, but even used his tracks to crush corpses or wounded people on the ground during pursuit. The crisp sound of the bones crushed by the steel tracks and the screams of the injured echoed on the battlefield.
Many Cuban soldiers who had not fled in a hurry were frightened to death when they saw the flesh and blood hanging on the tracks of the overcoming monster. They either dropped their weapons and surrendered in fear, or were so frightened that they didn't know what to do. They just watched helplessly as the tanks headed towards them.
They rushed over...
The resistance of the Cubans collapsed in an instant!
"Oh my God, this is too... too neat..."
Not to mention the Cubans, even the Marines were stunned by the combat effectiveness of this tank - a tank easily defeated a company of defenders without even waiting for them to take action.
"This is too fast... It's really, really worthy of being calm..."
The first battle of the tank seems a bit anticlimactic, but it shows that it is an almost perfect land warfare weapon.
When tanks were first put into the battlefield in San Juan Martinez, dozens of kilometers away in the northwest, an infantry regiment of the Cuban army was reinforcing in the direction of San Juan Martinez.
"Hurry up, hurry up, brothers, we must stop the invasion of those Mingguo guys..."
Lieutenant Colonel Sandys on the horse looked helplessly into the distance, blocking the Ming country? In other words, even the "Great White Fleet" of the United States was destroyed by the Ming Empire, let alone Cuba?
But he is a soldier, and what he needs is to obey orders, and the honor of a soldier does not allow him to make no resistance in the face of an invasion.
However, Sandys couldn't understand it - why did Ming Dynasty invade Cuba? Is it for the overseas Chinese? Thinking of the overseas Chinese who were hostile to them along the way, Sandys couldn't help but sigh. They are also Cubans...
However, they will never resist the Ming Dynasty's army, and they will even become members of the Ming Dynasty's army soon. In many places, Chinese Americans have even raised the Ming Dynasty's flag in the city center.
How long can Cuba's resistance last?
Just when this idea came to Sandys' mind, he heard the roar of an engine in the air.
Is it an airship?
Raising his head, Sandys did not see the huge figure of the airship. When he looked in the direction of the sound, he saw six black spots flying in the sky.
When he saw those black dots flying towards him, Sandys was still a little confused, what the hell was this?
More Cubans are confused there...
What is this?
Not an airship!
It's a plane!
When the plane roared from the sky, the Cuban soldiers on the ground had no idea what it was.
Six Sea Holly C-type seaplanes flew over from a distance with bombs mounted on them. As they flew over the Cuban army, they directly dropped 50 kilograms of aerial bombs. The moment the bombs landed with a roar,
Transformed into the God of Death, in the violent explosion, violent shock waves mixed with steel fragments flew around, and those fragments of different shapes roared in the air, tearing apart the bodies of the Cubans while penetrating them.
Aerial bombs with a charge factor of more than 60% and dozens of kilograms of bombs are as powerful as heavy artillery over 200 mm when they explode. As the bombs continue to fall, the Cuban troops marching on the road immediately fall into a wave of death.
During the explosion, the shock wave of the explosion was like countless sharp wind blades, tearing people's bodies into pieces. The strong soldiers were thrown into the air like broken dolls, and then fell to the ground.
In the billowing smoke, hundreds of Cuban soldiers died in confusion under the air strikes of planes before they even figured out what was going on.
After the God of Death in the sky dropped the bombs, the road was a mess, dead bodies were everywhere, and the screams of the injured were endless, but even so, the God of Death in the sky still did not let them go, and they were hovering in the air.
Standing, shooting people on the ground with machine guns...
When the surviving soldiers fled towards the woods and escaped from the woods, Sandys looked at the flying machines hovering in the sky and cursed loudly.
