Chapter 259: Advanced as These
The same problem was not only with Barak, but in the bushes on a hill not far from the area of engagement, the Soviet staff officer who was standing on the BTR-70 armored car almost shouted in amazement.
Lieutenant Colonel Shokin, commander of the 44th Battle Group of the Tribal Army, who was directing the tank group to pursue with a radio, immediately dropped the radio in his hand, picked up the binoculars, and looked at the battlefield.
"No, according to information received by the intelligence services from South Africa, Europe has cut off the arms trade with South Africa due to the arms embargo, and the only Milan anti-tank missiles remain in South Africa. Shao Jin looked at it for a long time and shook his head slightly, but his tone was a little uncertain.
"Could it be an anti-tank missile developed by South Africa itself, after all, the foundation of their military industry is still good. The ** husband reminded on the side.
Shao Jin nodded: "There is this possibility, but presumably their number will not be very large, a combat reconnaissance battalion only, there should be no more than five, we can still afford this loss." ”
Shokin was right, the 44th battle group in his hands had a total of eight T-62 tanks, twelve T-55 tanks, plus twelve BTR-70 armored vehicles and twenty-two Toyota pickups, which was roughly equivalent to a reinforced battalion of the Soviet army, and was superior to the opposing coalition army in terms of strength and weapons.
In addition, there are at least three friendly neighboring forces of the same size around them, and in this case, Saukin is desperately trying to consume and kill the coalition army on the opposite side, which is mainly based on light weapons.
What's more, the style of the fighting nation has always been desperate for victory, just a few old tanks, which my Great Soviet can still afford, as for the soldiers in it...... Angola lacks nothing but black corn, so ......
"Don't hesitate, keep attacking, right...... Hold on to your formation and rush ......" Saukin picked up the radio and gave the order without hesitation, and the tank group, which seemed panicked because a tank had been destroyed, instantly regained order and began to rumble towards the bushes where the Weisberg battle group was hiding.
However, the tankmen of the Tribal Army were not the professional tank soldiers of the Soviet Army after all, and Saukin could only take the trouble to use radio to command everything in detail in order to keep the entire offensive formation intact: "Right...... Right...... Car No. 6 followed up and filled the vacancy in front of him...... Okay, what's the matter with car twelve, why did you deviate from the line again, and next time, I promise to shoot you, cars seven and fifteen stopped moving forward and opened fire on the bushes in front...... Forehead...... What's that......"
As an expert in armored warfare, Saukin, holding a telescope in one hand and a radio in the other, was adjusting the advancing tank group to its best condition when seven or eight red triangular aircraft suddenly burst out of the bushes less than two kilometers away from the tank group.
Seeing this, Saukin was stunned for a moment, and just when he wanted to see what it was, the two flying machines had already jumped into the air, and immediately fell at a rapid speed, stabbing directly into the top cover of the No. 7 and No. 15 tanks that had just stopped and were about to fire at an almost vertical angle.
Only two loud noises of "boom~~boom~~" were heard, and the two intact T-62 tanks were scrapped.
"What kind of missile is this? Can it be used to carry out a top cover attack?" Seeing this, Shaojin's face full of stubble suddenly turned pale, the tank is known for its strong armor, but in order to pursue mobility, the thickness of the armor around the tank is not the same, facing the enemy head-on, it is naturally the last, and the top cover is generally rarely directly attacked, so the armor here is very weak.
Because of this, as long as the anti-tank weapon hits the top cover of the tank, it is basically the same as opening a scoop to the gourd, which is a dozen and a quasi.
Now seeing the two T-62s being scooped proves that this missile in South Africa's hand is not a frontal rigidity in the traditional sense, but a shameless greeting to the weakest point of the tank, which is an absolute nightmare for his tank group.
Just when Saukin was thinking about whether to shrink his forces and wait for reinforcements, the three drones dived again, and with the sound of "boom~~", the turret of a T-55 tank was lifted high, and the flames burst out two or three meters high.
However, seeing this scene, Shokin took a long breath, and only one of the three missiles carried out a top cover attack, which shows that the accuracy of South African missiles is not enough, especially for moving tanks, it seems that the accuracy is pitifully low.
"As long as there are shortcomings!" Saukin seemed to have found the point, and immediately picked up the radio, ready to order the tank group to disperse at the same time, increase the horsepower, and rush straight over.
But before he could speak, the ** man beside him exclaimed: "Lieutenant colonel, look...... The two missiles that had missed just now flew up on their own. ”
Hearing this, Shaojin hurriedly raised the telescope and looked in the direction of the finger of the ** husband, and after seeing the situation clearly, the brain that was still running at high speed was instantly braked and became blank.
I saw that the two missiles that had just missed the target crossed the tank group from a low altitude, climbed again, and then fell vertically, and the engine compartment of a T-55 tank was hit, caught fire and scrapped.
The other one still missed the target, but the thing continued to pull up again as if it had a brain, and then found the target to fall vertically, and finally scrapped a T-62 tank with a "boom~~".
If it's just these two cases, the key is that the seven or eight such things launched by the coalition army just now are all operated in this way, and if they can't hit, they quickly pull up, and then continue to attack with the top cover, and even Shokin saw that one missed the target six times in a row, but he still repeated the action of pulling up and diving, until a T-55 was beaten into scrap metal.
Self-seeking, top attack, flexible maneuverability, the key is to constantly re-select the target, oh my God, this South African missile is so advanced, it's okay, the problem is that there are still so many of these things.
Wait, why are there so many missiles for the South Africans?
Saukin, who was knocked down by the scene in front of him, finally reacted, the South Africans seemed to have more than five missiles, plus the top cover attack method that automatically unlocked and relocked the target, this battle was still a fart.
Hurriedly picked up the radio, switched to the friendly and neighboring troops' call channel, and began to shout: "I need artillery support, the direction is ...... Lieutenant Colonel, be careful......"
Saukin was looking at the map, about to report his location coordinates, when he heard the frightened shout of the ** man, he was thrown into the armored car, at the same time there was an explosion in the sky, countless white phosphorus burning light scattered over the hills, the next moment the high temperature ignited the dry bushes, and in the blink of an eye, the raging fire engulfed the hidden hills of Saukin and others.
The tank group, which had become panicked because of the loss of nearly half of the tanks, found that the location of their commander was set on fire, and the black-willed black millet could no longer care about anything else, turned the head of the car, and drove away.
Weisberg, who saw this scene in the bushes, put down the telescope in his hand and grinned at Barak beside him: "How about it? It's better than missiles!" After speaking, he pulled the radio and ordered in a deep voice: "Pursuit!"
