Force of Arms
معلومات عن هذا الكتاب الإلكتروني
Three Chinese armies swarmed across the trace, with T-59s providing covering fire. Into the bulge created by the sudden onslaught raced the Chinese armor, T-60 tanks with 85mm guns, and behind the T-60s over 90,000 PLA regular frontline troops rushed like ants upon the Americans who were bogged down in the typhoon.
Through the waning downpour, the American A-10 Thurnderbolts came in low, their RAU-B Avenger 30mm seven-barreled rotary cannon spitting out a deadly stream of depleted uranium, white-hot fragments that set off the tank's ammunition and fuel tanks into great blowouts of orange-black flame.
Four sleek, eighteen-foot long Tomahawk cruise missiles reached the China coast at six hundred miles an hour, hugging the beach at an altitude of twenty feet, then began their contoured, computer-guided flight toward their target three hundred miles away—Beijing.
It is Armageddon in Asia.
