Chapter 950： Misfired Dutch 1st Army

First Dutch Army.

After receiving the order from NATO, the Dutch First Army assembled and quickly entered Germany.

In fact, in many cases, the main force of the Dutch army, except for the training troops, is stationed in Germany, just to prepare for the sudden invasion of the Red Empire.

As a country close to Germany, the Netherlands of course knows the truth. If Germany is gone, the Netherlands will not be able to continue. In the history of World War II, the Netherlands resisted for only five days before being completely occupied by the Nazi army. If it wasn't for Goering taking the credit, there would have been no Dunkirk retreat at all.

The Netherlands is also a staunch Western country, and the Netherlands can only persevere if it relies on NATO.

Therefore, after receiving the order, the Dutch did not hesitate and immediately dispatched!

In later generations, with the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, the threat of the Netherlands has disappeared. Their army has been greatly streamlined, and only three brigades are left. Counting the posts, there are only more than 20,000 people in total. There are only dozens of Leopard 2 tanks in the main battle.

And now, facing the threat of the Cold War becoming a hot war at any time, the Netherlands also maintains a strong army. The main force of their army is the First Army, and the First Army is composed of five divisions and equipped with more than 400 troops. The Leopard 1 tank!

Yes, it is the Leopard 1 tank. The Netherlands has no weapons research and development capabilities, and the main battle tank is outsourced! Under all kinds of relationships, buying from Germany is the most suitable choice.

In fact, not only the Netherlands, Leopard 1 tanks have been sold to many countries, Denmark, Belgium, Canada, Australia, Greece, Italy, all equipped with a certain number of Leopard 1 tanks!

And now, at the forefront of the entire army is an armored unit of the First Dutch Army! They drove Leopard 1 tanks and quickly assembled towards the theater.

Although the Soviets did not come, the East Germans have come, and the armies of East Germany and West Germany have merged together! This is not good news for the Dutch.

At the beginning, the British Chieftain tank and the German Leopard 1 tank competed for the next-generation tank contract in the Netherlands. After careful comparison, the Netherlands finally chose the Leopard 1. After all, compared with the Chieftain, the Leopard 1 valued mobility the most. ! In World War II, Germany continued to engage in heavy tanks, which led to serious defects in mobility, but when it came to Leopard 1, it went to the other extreme.

The 40-ton Leopard 1 has an 830-horsepower engine, and its mobility is first-class. At this time, on the tank, the cover is open, and the Dutch tank troops are advancing against the cold wind.

Only when fighting, will you go inside, after all, the outside air is still fresh.

A tank commander holds a telescope and looks far into the distance, looking at the horizon ahead. There are still peaceful villages everywhere, but the war will soon spread! Could it be another world war? ad_250_left();

Now, I am afraid that no one likes to fight, but as a soldier, you must obey orders!

Taking back his thoughts, the Dutch tank commander continued to look into the distance. Now, he has reached a very dangerous place, and he may confront the German tank troops at any time!

Originally, NATO was all integrated, and they could receive the command of the early warning aircraft flying in the rear. However, just half an hour ago, the signal was temporarily interrupted for some reason, which made everyone feel a little uneasy. .

This is not a good thing, it is a precursor to an attack at any time!

Suddenly, Captain Holland's telescope stopped somewhere, just in the distance, almost touching the ground, with several high-speed targets rapidly approaching!

what is that? The tank commander adjusted the magnification of his telescope, and soon, he could see clearly, those things painted with eagle-like mouths, weren't they the A-10 attack aircraft?

What are they doing here?

"Target found, Leopard 1 tank, request to attack." Stone shouted over the radio.

Hearing the call sign on the radio, the lead wild boar also saw the picture on his own screen, yes, it's Leopard 1! According to the direction of the early warning aircraft, the orientation is also correct, so now the attack can be launched!

"Attack now!" the boar shouted, "Destroy this Leopard 1 tank unit!"

Each a-10 has 11 external pylons. Now, four Mavericks air-to-ground missiles are mounted on the wings on both sides, and an/aas-35 is mounted on the pylons on both sides of the belly. The pod and the an/alq-119 pod, not even the Sidewinder missile, are all used for ground attack! Anyway, I really encountered a fighter, and with the ability of the a-10, I was simply unable to deal with others.

A total of eight Mavericks missiles, complete mounts for tank attacks! It can be said that one A-10 can destroy a tank company! A formation of four A-10s can destroy a tank battalion!

Secondly, in addition to these missiles, the a-10 attack aircraft also has a 30mm cannon, which is used to hit the top of the tank and can also penetrate!

And now, the tank force on the ground seems to have only more than 50 Leopards just enough for this attack!

Following the order of the Squadron Leader of the Wild Boar, under the wing, the fire flashed, and the Maverick missile, dragging the flame, flew towards the Leopard 1 tank on the ground!

"Damn, those attack planes fired missiles at us!" The Dutch tank soldiers were extremely surprised at this moment when they found the flames flashing under the wings of the A-10 attack planes.

If it's a gust of wind, they'll have to be on their guard, because the Luftwaffe is also equipped with a gust of wind, but now, it's an a-10! Only the USAF has an a-10! Even if some planes were controlled by the Germans, it would be useless! Because they can't drive, and American pilots will definitely not serve the Germans!

So, who are flying these attack planes? Why shoot missiles at yourself?

Before dying, the Dutch armored forces were still immersed in this kind of thinking, and the Maverick missiles in the sky would not continue to wait for them to think about this problem.

"Boom!" Of course, the Maverick missile will not hit the main armor directly! Instead, attack from the top down! The 37.6kg shaped warhead burned through the weak top armor in an instant, and the ammunition inside was detonated!

In the violent explosion, the Leopard 1 tank of the Dutch Army was destroyed like this!

At this time, the captain's body remained outside. At the moment of the explosion, the upper part of the captain's body flew out under the impact of the huge air current, and the lower part of the body had turned into meat foam. !

At the junction of the turret and the car body, the airflow spurted out, forcibly lifted the turret away from the car body, and then fell heavily.

In this case, there will be no survivors!

This is just the beginning!
