The Dwarf Empire has its own understanding of the use of armored forces. Apart from the Tang Army, they are one of the few countries that has used a large number of armored forces in actual combat.
After accumulating a lot of experience, the new tank designed by Dwarf has become somewhat like a main battle tank: it is equipped with a 100 mm caliber gun, has moderate armor, good mobility, and the three major indicators are quite balanced.
But inside, this kind of tank just looks like a main battle tank. Its design idea is correct, but its technical level is still backward.
Without the support of new armor, the moderate armor thickness is not enough to ensure the safety of the tank, and the 100 mm caliber rifled gun does not have strong enough penetration capability.
The most important thing is that the tanks of the Ice Empire have no gun stabilization system, no ballistic computer, and no night vision goggles.
The ability of these tanks to reinforce here overnight actually relies on the superb skills and excellent quality of the dwarf crew members.
After receiving the order, these dwarf tank crews immediately formulated an attack plan: the two armed helicopters of the Tang Army had just left, and this was a good opportunity for them to counterattack.
As long as they kill the opponent's square-headed tank hidden behind the small high ground, even if they exchange two of their own tanks for one of the opponent's, they can still use their numerical advantage to help the infantry break through the Tang army's defense line.
After fully considering where the Tang Army tanks might be hiding, the dwarves set up a three plus two formation.
Three tanks launched an attack on the right, covering the infantry as they approached the Tang Army's defensive position, forcing the Tang Army's tanks to reveal their positions.
The other two tanks attacked from the left, that is, the side close to the beach, sprinted quickly, and detoured to the flanks of the Tang Army tanks to attack. The victory was determined in one fell swoop!
Of course, while the tanks are operating, the dwarf infantry will also attack in large numbers to cover the tank operations and recapture some of the positions occupied by the Tang army.
At this time, the sky was somewhat brighter, and the dwarf tanks without night vision devices could still exert their combat effectiveness. Even so, in order to ensure combat efficiency, the dwarfs still fired a lot of illumination bombs to make the entire battlefield brighter.
As the flares rose, the dwarf's tank tracks rolled over the ruins, rubble and bomb craters, and quickly rushed towards the Tang army's position.
After seeing the dwarf tanks, the Tang Army seemed very quiet. The anti-tank soldiers were waiting in the trench bunkers with rocket launchers, waiting for the opponent to approach.
The Tang Army had many individual anti-tank weapons, which gave them enough confidence not to rely on tanks to balance the opponent's tanks.
In fact, even without the support of the Type 96 main battle tank behind them, the Tang army was not too afraid of targets such as tanks.
The dwarf tanks knew how to cooperate. After all, because they were close enough, their radio communication was barely usable, although there was a lot of noise.
Just when a Type 10 tank from the Ice Empire ran over a collapsed small bunker, a roaring shell directly hit the turret of the dwarf tank.
The huge impact caused the dwarf tank's turret frontal armor to slightly twist and deform. The seemingly indestructible hard steel armor shattered and peeled off layer by layer, leaving a dark hole in the end.
Countless fragments and hot warheads flew inside the tank, penetrating passing equipment, cutting flesh and blood, and igniting the stacked spare shells.
The next second, before the dwarf tank crews realized that they were dead, the tank turned into a twisted and deformed steel coffin due to the explosion of ammunition.
The turret suddenly flew high, and the paralyzed car body immediately stopped in place. The surrounding dwarf soldiers were affected by the explosion and fell to pieces. Screams and howls could be heard one after another.
In another dwarf tank, the commander was looking for suspicious targets on the periscope. Soon he saw the Tang Army tank that was moving quickly and laterally along the Tang Army's defense line!
However, the opponent moved sideways a little fast, and disappeared from the dwarf commander's narrow field of vision in just an instant.
Somewhat annoyed, the dwarf commander opened the hatch above his head regardless of the danger. He wanted to risk his head and stick his head out to locate the damn Tang Army tank.
This tactic may have been used by the Tang Army's commanders more than ten years ago, but now that there is an independent observation system, the Tang Army's commanders are no longer willing to stick their heads out and take risks.
No way, the optical sight is so useful: not only does it have a 360-degree field of view, but it also has telescope rulers and other blessings, which is obviously much more useful than judging by the naked eye.
"I saw it! But there's no way to aim! It's moving! It's moving!" The anxious voice of the gunner came from the earphones. The dwarf commander could feel the turret of his tank rotating, but it was a pity that it was rotating.
The speed was so fast that it was impossible to keep up with the Tang Army tanks that were moving laterally.
In the thick smoke, the dwarf commander leaned out and saw the Tang Army tank with a turret pointing sideways at them.
The opponent's turret is square, the black muzzle looks very big, and there is a bulging thing in the middle. I don't know what device it is.
Just when he was stunned, the Tang Army's tank suddenly stopped. While the tank was still shaking, and after a second or two of silence, the Tang Army's tank fired a powerful and heavy shot.
He felt the tank beneath his feet vibrate, and the dwarf commander who had his upper body out felt his pants being pulled by something.
He lowered his head to look at his lower body, which was still in the turret, and saw gushing blood and the space inside the vehicle that was already filled with sparks.
"We have been hit!" Such a thought burst out in his mind, but before he could support the edge of the hatch with his hands and pull out his injured leg, his tank exploded.
In the blink of an eye, the two dwarf tanks turned into headless wrecks. Thick smoke obscured the sight of the surrounding dwarf soldiers. The attack on the right was forced to stop. The remaining tank still didn't know what happened.
He saw a friendly tank turret hitting his path.
"Car No. 4 was destroyed! Car No. 3 is also finished! Damn it! That Tang Army tank is a monster! Their tank is a monster!" The commander of Car No. 5 grabbed the intercom and shouted in panic.
"The muzzles of their tanks didn't move when they were driving! Their tanks were already aiming at us while they were driving!" He also saw the Type 96 main battle tank, and he could see it quite clearly.
