Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Turkish army and the US military used violence to clear out Turkish residents who were planning to leave Istanbul, resulting in the death of a large number of Istanbul residents. According to rough statistics, more than 5,000 civilians died in this chaotic incident, and were punished for being driven back into the city.  The number of Turkish casualties caused by subsequent SCO coalition bombardments was several times this number.

    It is obvious to all that war has brought huge trauma to mankind. Although there are countless so-called anti-war people and pacifist activists who have been mediating back and forth between countries, they no longer attract as much attention as during peacetime, and even  The doors of government agencies are completely closed to them.  The SCO and NATO are determined to fight to the last moment and drag each other into the abyss no matter what.  Even ordinary residents of China and the United States have a considerable number of people who want to see the other side completely defeated and then enjoy world domination once and for all.  Once the train of war is put on the fast lane, it is extremely difficult to stop it.

    The behavior of Turkey and the United States to prevent ordinary residents from leaving Istanbul and seizing transportation lines has really angered many Turks. Some more radical Turks even declared that they would rather let the Chinese capture Istanbul and destroy Turkey than continue  Support this democratically elected government that treats human life as nothing.

    Of course, there are many people who have greater hatred for the Chinese and the SCO. Some people are even preparing to become suicide bombers and carry out bomb attacks on the SCO camp not far from Istanbul.  However, these attacks are rarely successful. Under the highly modern combat mode, coupled with the caution of the SCO frontline headquarters, it is difficult for any unknown vehicles and personnel to approach the SCO military facilities and strongholds, and the pervasive surveillance equipment also  Increased camp security.

    After experiencing several horrific bombardments by the SCO coalition, NATO came to the conclusion that even artillery battles are completely different from the artillery battles in their concept. The use of large-scale precision multiple rocket launchers and electromagnetic guns  , the perfect fire control system and intelligence collection have doubled the strike coverage and efficiency, which directly caused the NATO side to be so beaten by just the shelling that they had no time to care.

    Therefore, NATO made its own response. The Chinese and SCO coalition forces could not be allowed to pour artillery shells on Istanbul arbitrarily. The NATO allies must fight out to continuously push back the artillery positions of the SCO coalition forces to complete the protection.  Istanbul destination.

    To this end, the U.S. Marine Corps, in collaboration with the Turkish Army, and a total of four division-level and brigade-level heavy-armed troops came out from the second line of defense in an attempt to regain the first line of defense that had been breached and occupied by the SCO coalition forces.  However, as soon as the NATO allies launched their attack, they were attacked by the Chinese army's mechas. Hundreds of mechas in attack aircraft mode launched a large number of missiles at the U.S. and Turkish troops on the ground before the enemy could react.  Small ground weapons, although these attacks did not cause unbearable losses to the enemy, they still dampened the morale of the NATO troops during the attack.

    Immediately afterwards, the heavy armored troops of the Yugoslav People's Army also dispatched to attack the attacking NATO allies from the left, while the Romanian army launched an attack from the right. Although the NATO allies tried their best to resist the SCO coalition's offensive, the tanks of both sides on the battlefield  There are more armored vehicles than in 2I than in 4I, and the SCO coalition also has the advantage of attack mechas and helicopter gunships. Even though the SCO coalition actually has fewer personnel, it still drives the NATO troops back to the second line of defense.

    This situation makes NATO commanders very worried. It is true that the number of troops from Turkey, Greece and the United States is larger, and Turkish soldiers continue to cross the strait and arrive in Istanbul. However, the quality of the troops of the SCO coalition is obviously higher, and the U.S. military naturally  It does not admit that the Chinese or Yugoslav armies are more elite than the US military, but the US military can evade it by saying that the quality of the Turkish army is too low and cannot keep up with the US military, which has also dragged down the war.

    In fact, the training level and military quality of the Turkish army are not very poor, but they are poor in weapons, equipment and tactical concepts.  There are even many of the first batch of tanks in the late Cold War in Turkey's armored forces. It is simply impossible to expect something like MBNU0 to be able to compete with China's Type 99, Type 0l or Apocalypse.  However, Turkey does not have much equipment on the US-made Nl tanks and German-made Leopard 2 tanks that can be compared with the Chinese VT tanks. They are used as the most elite troops. On average, even if the Turkish army is several times larger than the SCO coalition, it cannot defeat them.  They, the SCO Allied Forces with superior equipment can not only easily destroy the Turkish army, but at least it will not be a problem to handle them.

    Even the U.S. Marine Corps is somewhat incapable of dealing with the Shanghai Cooperation Alliance. Although the current Marine Corps weapons have been replenished and enhanced, all American soldiers know one thing. A single Nl shot cannot penetrate the front of the 99AU.  Armor, any type 99 model can penetrate the Nl's frontal armor with one shot.  For the Type 99 tanks lost on the Chinese battlefield, the non-combat losses are almost the same as the combat losses, because the US military often needs to use very large efforts to destroy one or two Chinese tanks.

    Meet the NATO alliesNot very honestly, the SCO coalition once again deployed its artillery positions, selectively increased the firepower of some important targets, and launched another artillery bombardment on Istanbul.  A large number of artillery shells were fired into the city. After three rounds of horrific shelling by the Shanghai Cooperation Alliance, this historical and cultural city was basically in ruins. The famous Sophia Cathedral was also destroyed in the third shelling.  One-third of the buildings were destroyed, and the fires caused destroyed many cultural relics.  Naturally, no one cares about protecting culture and cultural relics now. Victory is the only hope.

    During the artillery bombardment, the artillery of China's 21st Group Army was the main force. The artillery shells they fired were twice as many as the artillery shells fired by the other three-nation coalition artillery combined. Not only that, those long-range rocket launchers and electromagnetic guns fired from the periphery,  Also all from Chinese artillery platforms.

    A Yugoslav artillery soldier said enviously to his Chinese counterpart: "The shells you shot down could probably buy a dozen fighter jets. Do you really feel no pain at all?"

    This somewhat slutty Chinese artilleryman patted his chest and said arrogantly: "You can be so willful when you have money."
