The enemy, as if gone mad, launched an attack before the end of artillery preparation.
By the time Situ Lin received the message from the frontline troops and arrived with the guard platoon, the enemy had already climbed onto the position. The Third Tank Company, which had been thrown into battle earlier, lost 5 tanks, with the remaining 6 tanks scattered on the 2-kilometer-long defensive line, facing more than 70 T-series tanks.
They were not the elite T-80U, nor the mediocre T-72A, but a new tank model that had not appeared before.
It resembled the T-72A in appearance, except the turret size was noticeably larger, and reactive armor was installed outside the turret and hull.
A brand new T-72?
Whether it is or not, the enemy's tanks were just too many.
On a battlefield of approximately 2 kilometers, deploying nearly 70 tanks, equivalent to 2 Armored Battalions, indicated the enemy intended to capture this position in one fell swoop.
