As Samir gave the order, the tank's main gun fired.
The high-explosive round from the 125mm smoothbore cannon directly hit the window.
The entire wall collapsed, burying the shooter inside the rubble.
But the battle was not over yet.
From the buildings on both sides of the street, dozens of 1515 Armed insurgents surged out.
Some of them were holding rifles, others rocket launchers, and some even carried explosive packs, attempting to approach the tank.
"Infantry, clear buildings and protect the tank squad!" Samir ordered.
Mechanized infantry behind the tank began to move.
They formed into groups, twelve people per group, providing alternate cover as they entered buildings on both sides of the street.
The house-by-house clearing started.
This was the most brutal part of urban warfare.
Every house could hide an enemy, every doorway could shoot out bullets, and every corner could hide a bomb.
