    The ¡®Leopard¡¯ tank is the main battle tank currently in service of the Chinese Army. At the request of Emperor Wang Yuze, after years of development, its performance finally barely met the standard.  Even so, the improved 'Leopard' tank is now under intensive development!

    The T7 ¡®Leopard¡¯ tank is 8.36 meters long (plus gun barrel), 3.27 meters wide, 2.69 meters high, and has a total combat weight of 40 tons!  It uses a 700-horsepower diesel engine with a maximum highway speed of 40 kilometers per hour and a maximum off-road speed of 25 kilometers per hour.  The frontal armor is 80 mm thick, which can effectively resist large-caliber anti-tank designs at a distance of 500 meters. The side and rear armor are 40 mm thick!  Equipped with a 75mm 42 times caliber tank gun, it can penetrate 30mm thick steel plates within 1000 meters and 50mm thick steel plates within 800 meters. It is very powerful!  The tank gun has 80 rounds of ammunition ready!  There are also two 7.62mm machine guns with 500 rounds of ammunition!

    Whether it¡¯s firepower or defense, the Chinese Army¡¯s ¡®Leopard¡¯ tank is well-deserved to be at the world¡¯s leading level.  Far more powerful than the Panzer IV tank currently in service in the German Army!  It is estimated that only the No. 5 tank that the German army is currently intensifying its development can compete with the Chinese Army's Leopard tank.  However, the development of the German Panzer V tank will still take a lot of time!  The most optimistic estimate is that mass production will not begin until the end of the year or even next year!  Before this, the Chinese Army's 'Leopard' tanks could be said to be invincible!

    Five tank battalions of the 20th Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army, with a total of 180 tanks, lined up in a commando type and launched an attack on the Italian Army!  The sound of the tank's diesel engine running at high speed.  It's like thunder.

    "General! The Chinese are coming, so many tanks!" A low-level officer rushed into the Italian army's headquarters and reported to General Enrico Caviglia!

    General Enrico Caviglia did not expect that the Chinese army's attack would come so quickly, and his face was a little ugly.  But he still issued the order quickly: "Order the troops on the front line to resist the attack of those yellow-skinned monkeys! Let the 2nd Armored Division start counterattack in twenty minutes! Let those yellow-skinned monkeys know how powerful we are!"

    "Yes, General!" The junior officer hurriedly went to convey the order!  However, the officer was not sure whether the Italian Army's 2nd Armored Division's counterattack could succeed!  According to news from frontline troops.  The Chinese tanks are huge.  It also has a thick barrel, which is obviously much more powerful than the old tanks that were retired by the German Army and equipped by the 2nd Armored Division of the Italian Army!

    General Enrico Caviglia¡¯s strategy is correct!  If faced with an evenly matched enemy, such a tactic is very likely to succeed!  First use the frontline troops to consume the enemy's energy, and use the anti-tank weapons equipped by the frontline troops to give the enemy a powerful blow!  Then our own armored forces attacked again and defeated the enemy in one fell swoop.  This is also a tactic summarized by the German Army!  If the German Army implements such tactics, it may cause some trouble to the Chinese army.  but.  If it were the Italian army, this would be a complete joke!  First of all, the anti-tank guns equipped by the Italian Army have no lethality at all against the 'Leopard' tanks of the Chinese Army.  Secondly, the 2nd Armored Division of the Italian Army, as the main force in the counterattack, was in front of the armored forces of the Chinese Army.  Totally vulnerable!

    At 3:25 pm, the 20th Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army was less than two kilometers away from the Italian Army¡¯s defense line!  At this time, 36 105mm self-propelled artillery of the 20th Armored Brigade began artillery fire, firing violently at the Italian Army's defense line!  In less than two minutes, the artillery brigade of the 20th Army also joined in, and the Italian Army's defense line soon fell into a sea of ??fire!  The Italian Army's defense line was originally built in a hurry, so the defensive power will naturally not be much better!  During the fierce shelling by Chinese artillery, many defenses, including fixed firepower points and anti-tank firepower points, were destroyed!

    Twelve Q5 "Night Owl" attack aircraft from a squadron of the Chinese Army Aviation Force are still hovering in the sky.  Be prepared to give the Italian Army a fierce blow at any time!  Although the Italian Army's air defense forces have been firing on these attack aircraft!  But against the attack aircraft hovering at high altitude, the Italian Army's air defense force's attack seemed to be of no use!

    When the Chinese artillery fired, the Italian Army¡¯s artillery also fought back!  However, their counterattack came to an abrupt end after only a few minutes!  Chinese Army Aviation attack aircraft hovering in the sky bombed the Italian Army's artillery positions.  Dozens of cannons were blown up!  Subsequently, a group of H9C 'Canghu' dive bombers arrived and once again bombed the Italian Army's artillery positions!  Each H9C Canghu dive bomber can carry two 500-kilogram aerial bombs. These aerial bombs, which are loaded with hundreds of kilograms of high explosives, are particularly effective against ground targets.Words have extremely strong lethality!  Often the explosion of an aerial bomb can cause a devastating blow to people or other living creatures within hundreds of square meters!  Under the fierce bombing by dozens of H9C ¡®Cang Hu¡¯ dive bombers, the Italian Army¡¯s artillery force suffered heavy losses!  Hundreds of heavy artillery were destroyed during the bombing, and the artillery also suffered heavy losses.  When Italian Army General Enrico Caviglia received the report of artillery losses, he was so angry that he almost fainted!

    It was only then that General Enrico Caviglia realized that the powerful Chinese army seemed completely different from the enemies he had encountered before!  During the last world war, General Enrico Caviglia fought against the Austro-Hungarian Empire in northern Italy and did not know how powerful the Chinese army was!  In addition, most of his command ideas are still stuck in the last world war.  This put the Italian Army in an almost completely suppressed state when fighting the Chinese Army!

    The Chinese Army¡¯s artillery preparations only lasted ten minutes!  But ten minutes later, the Italian Army's frontline positions were in a mess!  An infantry division responsible for defending the front line lost nearly half of it during shelling and bombing!  There are no solid anti-gun holes or air-raid shelters, just sheltering in simple trenches more than one meter deep, which is simply unable to effectively defend against the fierce artillery fire of the Chinese Army!

    After the artillery preparations of the Chinese Army were completed, the tank troops of the 20th Armored Brigade had already come up!  The turret is constantly rotating, looking for threatening targets!  The 75mm tank gun of the 'Leopard' tank has powerful firepower. It is enough to tear through a steel plate up to 30mm thick at a distance of one thousand meters!  It is said that the improved 'Leopard' tank will use a larger 88mm tank gun and will be more powerful!

    "Boom!" A surviving heavy machine gun fire point on the Italian army's defense line was blasted into the sky!  The firepower accumulated with sandbags simply cannot withstand the firing of 75mm armor-piercing projectiles at a distance of less than 800 meters!

    "Fire! Knock out the Chinese tanks!" The surviving officers on the front line scolded the soldiers, drove them into the position, and controlled weapons to attack the Chinese armored forces!

    "Boom!" A 37mm anti-tank gun of the Italian Army opened fire.  Their target is a Chinese tank 500 meters ahead!

    "Go to hell! You damn yellow-skinned monkeys!" the Italian anti-tank gunner shouted.  He seems to have seen the scene of Chinese tanks being penetrated!

    However, what happened next left him stunned.  After the Chinese tank was hit, it only paused slightly, and then continued to move forward!  The tank's turret quickly found the point of anti-tank fire directed at him.  In the meantime, a crimson fire flashed from the muzzle of the tank gun.  The Italian Army firepower point that was firing was completely destroyed in the explosion, and all the Italian Army soldiers were killed!

    Most of the anti-tank guns equipped by the Italian Army are 37mm anti-tank guns previously used by the German Army.  However, the effective range of this anti-tank gun is too low and the power is not great. It has been eliminated by the German Army!  The German Army is now equipped with anti-tank guns of about 75 mm.  This kind of anti-tank gun is so powerful that it poses a certain threat to the Chinese Army's 'Leopard' tanks!

    "Crunch!" The tank unit of the 20th Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army quickly broke into the Italian Army's position.  The infantrymen of the subsequent 124th Mechanized Infantry Division also followed the armored brigade and invaded the Italian Army's positions!  The infantrymen fighting in armored vehicles dismounted from the armored vehicles, and with the cooperation of tanks and armored vehicles, they cleared the Italian Army on the position!  The 20th Armored Brigade continues to move forward!

    When the 20th Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army easily broke through the frontline positions of the Italian Army, the 2nd Armored Division of the Italian Army was also dispatched!  General Enrico Caviglia was very anxious after learning that the frontline position had been breached.  He knew that if the Chinese army's attack could not be stopped, their defense line would be completely breached!  At that time, his troops will have no other option but to retreat in embarrassment!

    The 2nd Armored Division of the Italian Army has more than two hundred tanks and a large number of armored vehicles.  In terms of quantity, it is already more than the 20th Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army!  However, in terms of quality, the two parties are not on the same level at all!

    The appearance of the Italian Army¡¯s armored units made the Chinese Army¡¯s 20th Armored Brigade very excited!  For these armored soldiers, it is too boring to bully the infantry. What they look forward to is to fight the enemy's armored forces and destroy the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles!
