Chapter 334 - 327: Necessary Process
Because tracked vehicles are more likely to break down after long-distance travel, consume more fuel, and are heavier, tanks and tracked armored vehicles are basically transported by train or truck for long distances.
If a long trek is required, wheeled armored vehicles are the preferred choice because they are faster and more fuel-efficient, and these two advantages are extremely important for Gao Yuan and his team.
So, when it was truly time to set off, Andrew and Gao Yuan unanimously decided to completely abandon tracked vehicles, even if tanks were very effective in combat and had great firepower, they would definitely not be used.
The entire Spark Squad used two British-made Foxhound four-wheeled armored vehicles, and one American Stryker eight-wheeled armored vehicle, which was mainly used for transporting supplies.
Andrew’s ride was a Stryker wheeled armored command vehicle, but his armored vehicle was left among the rear convoy.
Leading the way in the front were the three armored vehicles of Gao Yuan’s team, as well as two additional Stryker armored vehicles driven by Americans, both of which were equipped with 105mm rifled cannons, a .50 caliber heavy machine gun, and a 7.62mm machine gun.
Having the two powerful armored vehicles lead the way made sense, as Gao Yuan’s vehicle flew the Shenzhou National Flag.
Just for that reason, Andrew had to agree to Gao Yuan and his team taking the lead.
