The desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river

When the setting sun pours the only remaining afterglow into the vast desert, that rich dark red renders the whole earth extremely beautiful, which makes people feel a little fascinated, but if you change the angle, this kind of fascination immediately becomes an inexplicable oppressive despair.

Because the dark red that covered the earth was like a constant flow of blood, transforming the heaven and the earth into a terrifying Shura field, and at this moment, the advance force of the Iraqi army, composed of eight M60T main battle tanks, was like a bloodthirsty beast pouring out of hell, letting out a roaring roar, spitting black smoke, crushing the ground, and sweeping in with billowing smoke and dust

"Tigris, Tigris, I am the Euphrates, and our troops have approached the outskirts of Khomshahr, and no enemy has been found."

On the turret of a high-speed M60T main battle tank, the commander of this advance force, who is also an adjutant selected by Hollande, Captain Mustafa, an Iraqi, leaned out comfortably against the open hatch, and while looking through the windshield at the majestic and magnificent city of Homshahr not far away, he held a radio intercom and reported excitedly to Hollande not far behind:

"It's still a big difference from what we estimated, because we didn't take into account the speed of the Iranians running away haha, no way, who made them run faster than rabbits, but no matter what, we've won"

"All we want is victory!" Mustafa's headset sounded Hollande's categorical but effortless command: "Occupy the city ahead of you." Check it out, and if there is no resistance, continue your armed march as planned"

"Yes!"

Chirac replied loudly. Then he put the intercom on the tank cap to his lips and commanded loudly: "Boys, if you want to have dinner, you can work harder, rush over to me"

"The Iraqis are so arrogant that they dare to storm the city of Homshahr with eight tanks!"

Through the high-powered binoculars, Zhou Hao looked at the swaggering approaching tank in a shelter, and a look of resentment shot out of his eyes. And Lu Jiadong, who was standing beside it, put down the telescope in his hand and sneered:

"Hmph! No wonder they dare to be unscrupulous, and they are actually equipped with a magic M60, I didn't expect Iraq to be really expensive!"

Although Lu Jiadong said it very solemnly. But that sneer exposed the true state of mind, Zhou Hao couldn't hear it, and the resentful look just now was replaced by a meaningful sneer:

"This time I can give Ahmadinejad a good score!"

"If you want to get a perfect score, give me a 12-point spirit!"

Same words. Also in the mouth of Major Ahmadinejad, commander of the Iranian mixed armored battalion. It's just that he is not facing his comrades, but through the car frequency hopping radio transmission to each tank, at this moment he has made all the preparations to meet the enemy, except for leaving six elite new tanks led by him to meet the enemy,

The rest of the main force, led by Deputy Battalion Commander Captain Khamenei, bypassed the Iraqi vanguard and directly attacked the flank of the main force of the Iraqi armored battle group, waiting for Ahmadinejad to defeat the enemy in front of him. Echoing the main forces on the flanks, it forms a classic pattern of "offensive mechanics" (a classic tactical theory. Interested students can check it out, and I won't do popular science here)

In this way, the enemy who is several times larger in front of him will be annihilated in one fell swoop, but as a lever to pry the main force of the local area, the strength of the flank detour troops is sufficient, and the key is that the frontal breakthrough force as a moment is slightly insufficient, and it is precisely because of this that Ahmadinejad, as the battalion commander, will personally command the frontal breakthrough troops with major tasks and relatively high dangers.

At this time, the entire mixed armored battalion had already moved in accordance with Ahmadinejad's tactical requirements, and the frontal assault force composed of six new tanks under his personal command chose favorable terrain and lined up according to the standard tank ambush formation.

Subsequently, the commander and the gun commander began to use the "hunter-annihilation" fire control system equipped with the new tank to start an arc scanning, with the commander using a low-magnification circumferential view to carry out area scanning, while the gun commander turned on a high-magnification observation and aiming to keep an eye on important places such as highways, and was ready to strike at the enemy who appeared in the line of sight at any time

At this moment, a large number of M60T main battle tanks swaggering forward appeared in the commander's scope of six new tanks at the same time, and almost at the same time, the six commanders issued long-awaited combat orders to their vehicles:

"Armor-piercing shells! Tanks! Ready!"

At the same time, the eight M60T main battle tanks, which were the vanguard of the Iraqi armored cluster, did not realize the arrival of death and still swaggered towards the nearby city of Homshahr.

At this moment, Captain Mustafa, as the commander of this team, raised the high-powered telescope in his hand to take a look at the important Iranian town that was about to record his glorious achievements, but when he swept the outline of the entire city, ready to withdraw his gaze,

A thick wisp of black smoke suddenly came into his eyes through the barrel of the telescope, which made Mustafa's heart chuckle, because he was familiar with tank armored vehicles, and he could see at a glance that the black smoke was the exhaust gas emitted by the tank's diesel engine, so he hurriedly used the car radio to hiss and shouted:

"Parking, there was an ambush"

Mustafa found out in time, but it was still a step too late, because the Iranian tank crew driving the new tank had already made all the preparations before launching, and the gun commander reported "ready". After the commander reconfirmed the target in the eyepiece, he roared almost angrily:

"Fire!"

Six new tanks, six 120mm smoothbore guns carefully built by the Wanshan Factory. At the same time, there was an earth-shattering roar, and the six long-rod sub-caliber deshelling stabilized tail armor-piercing shells that had been waiting in the barrel for a long time turned into six blazing rays of light with a scream of death, and shot towards the intended target

Captain Mustafa was half-hearted when he saw the flash of red light, but there was still a trace of luck in his heart, after all, the armor of the M60T main battle tank he commanded was strengthened. In particular, the latest blasting reactive armor can theoretically withstand the attack of all active Iranian tanks

However, after only a second, Mustafa's luck turned to despair. After all, the distance of 1,500 is not worth mentioning at all for the long-rod sub-caliber deshelling stabilized tail armor-piercing shells manufactured by rigorous processes, and in just one second, the shells excited by six new tanks hit the four M60T tanks in the front.

Among the four M60T master tanks that were hit. Two of them were hit by two shots each. The super armor-piercing ability directly penetrated the two tanks, and the incredible energy directly triggered the detonation of the internal ammunition, and the huge explosion blew the turret into the desert more than ten meters away.

As for the other two M60Ts, although they were not killed, the armor-piercing bullets with excellent performance were like hot knives cutting through butter, piercing the seemingly solid armor in an instant, and the hot tungsten core rods were scattered and splashed inside the tanks

"Release the smoke bomb. Withdraw"

Because of the car back, coupled with the division of labor and coordination between Iranian armored troops, is not very skilled. Therefore, Captain Mustafa was lucky enough to pick up a life, but after witnessing the Iranian tanks cutting melons and vegetables and killing their own as the most advanced tanks, Mustafa has long since lost the rampant when he marched, and saving his life first is the most important thing, so he kept ordering the remaining tanks:

"Withdraw quickly, withdraw quickly"

The other M60Ts saw that the commander was like this, and they also concocted the same method, and for a while, the huge area was shrouded in dense white smoke, just like the layers of white clouds between the sky, and in the blink of an eye, the four M60Ts of the Iraqi army were shrouded in it, and it was impossible to distinguish them with the naked eye

"I want to escape!

Ahmadinejad, who destroyed four enemy tanks in the first shot, naturally would not let go of the other Iraqi tanks, looking at the dense smoke on the opposite side, he couldn't help but smile coldly, and while turning on the night vision switch next to him, he ordered each vehicle:

"Use night vision to search for targets!"

With Ahmadinejad's order, the commanders of each car turned on the night vision devices, but immediately after Ahmadinejad's headset came an ambiguous report from the commanders of each car:

"Battalion commander, the goal is vague"

"We can't tell exactly"

"Do you want to shoot like this?"

In fact, Ahmadinejad also found this problem, because the M60T displayed in his night vision device was very vague, and he couldn't tell whether it was a tank or an ordinary vehicle, but Ahmadinejad, who was experienced on the battlefield, knew very well that there were only enemy tanks on the opposite side, and because of this, he decisively ordered:

"Hit the vague target!"

"Knock~Knock~~~"

There was another volley of tank guns, and the three M60Ts that were rapidly retreating, without any call-up, had a deafening explosion, and Captain Mustafa, who watched all this, almost didn't pee his pants in fright, and didn't care about his dead comrades, as well as those scattered tanks, desperately urging the driver, and fled all the way

Seeing that he had tried his best to escape one, Ahmadinejad couldn't help but slam his fist into the cockpit in annoyance, and then suddenly ordered:

"All, attack" (To be continued.) )
