Chapter 646: History Always Repeats Itself

The U.S. military is still the same U.S. military, and it's not only strong in the gas turbine-powered Abrams, not only in the expensive Bradley, but also in the Apache and Eagle fighters. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info its strength, but also because of his incomparably lofty military status.

The martyrs returned to their hometowns, and the crowd sent them off in the middle of the road. The college places that can be exchanged for service in the Army, the benefits of veterans' associations and veterans, and the knowledge and quality of American GIs are the real reasons why the U.S. military is strong (five cents each, removed in parentheses).

After all, the army Kevin served was the one who had bravely charged through the Annakosti Wetlands with the hooves of his horse, and the great and heroic American army, even if it was just a platoon of crippled tactical units, still had enough power to suppress the illiterate Iraqi army - as it should have been in theory.

In fact, Kevin and his platoon are doing very well.

"Shift location!"

"Shelling!"

"Lie down!"

It was a long way from the line of defense on Dawaa Street, where Kevin's platoon had already withdrawn. Two of the three forward heavy machine gun fire points had already been knocked out by the T72 tank during the first attack.

However, there is also good news, the Dow anti-tank missile placed on the roof of the restaurant successfully eliminated one of the enemy's Type 69 tanks and a T72 tank.

For the first time, facts proved that the monkey version of the T72 in Iraq was purely a cheat.

Of course, a large part of the reason actually lies with the Iraqi army.

The T72 is a monkey version of the T64, and Iraq bought it from the Soviet Union, and the performance is indeed questionable.

But even the monkey version of the monkey version, the T72 tank purchased by Iraq has a modern fire control system.

The principle of the optical rangefinder of the right eyepiece of the sight is probably not much different from the thumb ranging. Of course, the same equipment used by the PLA artillery observers in the 80s during the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam was on a similar principle.

But the problem is that the PLA was able to have a large number of soldiers who had completed basic education, and the popularization of compulsory education allowed soldiers to operate technical weapons without barriers.

But what is there in Iraq? In both the Kingdom and the Republic, education has never been the focus of the country's investment.

Many of the Iraqi army's soldiers have less than one level of education. Even if it is a technical branch such as a tank soldier, many of them still learn from scratch after becoming a soldier.

"Difficult" operations such as the fire control system, rangefinders, and calculated firing gauges were impossible tasks for many Iraqi tankers.

Instead of bothering to calculate the firing table, wouldn't it be better to drive the tanks to a direct fire at close range? This point was carried out by the Iraqi army as early as the performance of the Iran-Iraq war.

Fighting a dozen young soldiers and a desperate charge against Iran, there is probably no problem in doing so. But when facing the U.S. military, Rasilec will have to suffer.

Within a kilometer of distance, one of his Type 69 tanks was sent into the sky by a Dow missile.

This was followed by a burst of heavy machine-gun fire, which smoothly isolated the accompanying infantry.

However, Rasil, who has a narrow vision and a backward command system, does not notice this. As soon as he found out that he was under attack, he had already ordered his tanks to immediately start moving at full speed.

This kind of World War II-level tactics of infantry and tan coordination is still a relatively difficult thing for the Iraqi army.

In the words of the Chinese, it is probably "playing chess with a stinky chess basket, and the more you play, the more stinky it becomes."

For Iraq, the experience gained from the Iran-Iraq war is almost the same as the level of fighting Wang Baquan in the quagmire with the old king next door.

Even if there is any gain, it can't be used against Holyfield.

Rasil's tank column continued to attack, with four T72s leading the way. First of all, with the help of the commander's command system, they discovered three heavy machine gun strongholds that came out of the front, and under a burst of artillery fire, these heavy machine gun strongholds were all immediately dumbfounded.

For the Type 69 tank, Rasil didn't care too much. After all, it is the technological level of the world thirty or forty years ago, and there are already a lot of weapons that can pose a threat to it.

But the T72 is different, this is the trump card of Iraq......

Before Rassile could feel good, another Dow missile enveloped another T72 tank in flames.

Then in the communication system, the tank fell completely silent.

No matter how much Rasil called, all he could answer was a background radiating murmur from the universe.

This frightened Rasil, and all the T72 tanks in Iraq had the same armor. I won't take special care of adding an extra layer of reactive armor because it's a command type.

That is, if the Americans can crack a T72 can, then they can pry open the second can, the third can......

"Retreat, retreat!"

Rasile shouted hoarsely in the command communication channel.

The remaining six tanks immediately turned their heads around and fled away with their heads in their hands like frightened birds.

Iraq has long had experience in the Iran-Iraq war. If the opponent has an unknown number of anti-tank weapons, no amount of advanced tanks can guarantee the safety of the crew in an urban environment.

Rasile waited for five minutes for this retreat.

It was not until the other sixteen tanks of the 2nd and 3rd companies had all arrived that a second attack was organized.

To be honest, in the past five minutes, Rasile can be said to have lived like a year, for fear that the results will be fleeting.

Little did he know, however, that there were people who were more worried than he was.

In one of Hyfji's houses, behind a closed curtain is a military telescope. The man in an Arab robe, with a large beard and a telescope to observe the battlefield, is likely to be a native of the area.

However, this assumption was soon disproved.

When he grabbed the satellite phone he had and spoke in authentic English with a New York accent, his identity was not simple.

"Ms. Dorothy, these stupid Iraqis want me to say that you really can't trust them much. As long as the attack just now persists a little longer, a platoon of anti-tank missiles will not be able to run away at all. Knock out this weapon, and this time it's done. These idiots only had a slight setback, and as a result, they ran away immediately!"

“…… Yes, I'm afraid it's really possible for them to hold out until air support arrives. ”

“…… Okay, I'll keep an eye on the situation here. ”

……

Unbeknownst to Kevin, there was another pair of American eyes on this battlefield. He was pleasantly surprised by the outcome of the first contact battle, and the Dow missiles immediately moved to a new position, and he did not hesitate to abandon the line of defense on Dawaa Street.

In three minutes, air support will arrive shortly.

With the support of air power, the Marines were not afraid of any enemy attack - except for the Soviet Red Army.

"Three minutes!"

Kevin cheered up the soldiers on the communication channel, looked at his watch and shouted, "Three minutes later, air support will arrive! Is the missile team in place? Just like just now, give the Iraqis a great deal!"

"No problem, head!"

The soldiers in the first row looked at each other with firm eyes and shouted loudly.

The Dow missile was carried onto the roof of another building, camouflaged with cloth and bricks, and the Iraqis were afraid that they would have to pay another price if they wanted to find its tracks.

"Let's attack, let the second and third companies also get ready, and press them all at once!"

Rasil's confidence was quickly restored with the arrival of subsequent tanks. The first battalion and three companies had a total of 24 tanks, and although they had lost two tanks before, the 22 tanks still absolutely exceeded the confrontation capability of a light infantry platoon of the US army.

Even if these 22 tanks are lined up for US missiles to fight, it is not certain whether a platoon has 24 missiles or not.

Seeing this formation of the Iraqis, Kevin's face was as dark as Li Kui's.

"Don't worry, the Air Force is coming soon. ”

Dave, who rushed over, patted him on the shoulder and snorted coldly: "Soon, the Iraqis will have to pay the price." ”

"One minute and fifteen seconds!"

"One minute and ten seconds!"

As the voice of the signal soldier came from the communication line, the soldiers in the platoon raised their rifles one after another, and observed through the scope the Iraqi tanks that were approaching the battlefield in front of them.

They are convinced that soon these tanks will turn into a pile of scrap metal.

"Fifty seconds!"

"Forty-five seconds!"

"Forty seconds!"

"What? Oh, no!"

Suddenly, the desperate voice of the signal soldier came from the communication line, and Kevin quickly picked up the walkie-talkie, and a shadow floated through his heart.

"What's going on?"

"There was a mistake, the Air Force plane was attacked by a Saudi anti-aircraft missile, and now it has returned injured and returned!"

Kevin only felt a cool breath rushing from his heel to the Tianling Gai, looking at the Iraqi tanks that were getting closer and closer, he really couldn't imagine what would happen to himself and all the soldiers in a platoon without air support.

"Keep calling, let them send planes over again, immediately!"

Kevin's voice was nervous, as if a fingernail was scratching a blackboard.

"Soldiers, prepare to fight! Next, we'll be on our own......"

Although the belief in death was already held, this did not buy much time for the US military. No one would have thought about why the command had only sent a wave of support planes, why the Saudis had mistakenly attacked the US planes, why one of Haifji's companies had been evacuated urgently and only one platoon remained, no one would have thought that this was actually an army with a tradition of betraying its own people......

Who would have thought that the future US military would even take its own veterans to court. Because when Mr. President was short on money, he set his sights on their combat allowance and overtime pay in Afghanistan.

"Shift location!"

"Shelling!"

"Lie down!"

There was a bang, and in the firelight, the launch point of the Dow missile was already in ruins......
