Chapter 580: Desert Encounter

Just before the change of the other side, the relationship with the West was very close, a lot of weapons were purchased, and in the arsenal of the other side, almost all the chieftain tanks.

This tank, with thick armor, weighs 54 tons, and at the same time, the artillery uses a 120 mm rifled gun, which has fierce firepower and high accuracy, and in the hands of the British, it can attack at a distance of three thousand meters.

For the tank crews here, the Chieftain tank seems to be a high wall, insurmountable, and when you encounter the Chieftain tank, the best way is to escape.

Now, the yellow sand on the opposite side is flying, and there are three more strands, forming three pillars of sand and dust, mixed with black smoke, and finally converge together, and the other party actually came three at once!

If it was before, other tank units, encountered such a situation, the best way is to run, the faster the better, the farther the better.

However, Buckle did not want to run, his tank crew was the most skilled, and he also believed that the tank under his command, although it looked very similar to the T-55, in fact, had changed a lot.

Since you have met, then simply, just each other!

"Attention, everyone, encounter three enemy tanks, ready to start the attack, special armor-piercing shells, reload!" Bakir shouted loudly.

If it is the original T-55, Bakkel has no confidence, and with a penetration depth of more than 100 mm, he will not be able to open the main armor of the opposite chieftain tank at all, after all, the weight of more than 50 tons of people, the protection ability is quite strong, but the tanks under his own command are already different, especially the special armor-piercing shells introduced from the eastern powers, if you want to kill the other party, there is also a chance!

"Whoa. Boom. "Inside the turret, the atmosphere instantly became solemn, and a pointed armor-piercing bullet was stuffed in, which is the latest scientific and technological achievement of the eastern powers, this kind of shell can definitely tear through the main armor of the tank on the opposite side!

The Chieftain tank, which sacrifices mobility to meet the requirements of protection and firepower, uses a 720-horsepower diesel engine and drives a tank of more than 50 tons, so the mobility can be imagined.

With the continuous development of the model, its power is also constantly improving, the latest tank, has 900 horsepower, but it is still stretched, compared to the German Leopard-2 tank can be seen, the same weight, the German tank, with a 1500 horsepower engine.

Although the mobility is not good, the armor of the people is thick, the hull armor is 76 to 120 mm thick, and the thickest turret front is 152 to 203 mm thick, so if it is a normal T-55 tank, even if it is a head-on attack, it is impossible to break its main armor, and it can only be bombarded around the back to be able to burst the Chieftain tank.

The turtle shell of the Chieftain's tank, which was the thickest, was even draped in Chobham armor in the later period, and the British cherished their lives the most.

At this time, the three chieftain tanks were slowly advancing in the desert, and the leader one, Commander Habibullah, was also looking at the opposite side with the commander's scope.

"A T-55, let's blow it up, come on, my kids." Habibullah shouted.

The temperature inside the tank was very good, although the electric fan was working non-stop, but the sweat of his body had already wet his clothes, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then, shouting: "Armor-piercing bullets, load!" ”

By the time the caliber was developed to 120 mm, it was already very large, and in order to reduce the labor intensity of the loader, this tank gun for the first time used split shells and combustible cartridges, the projectiles were stored next to the driver, under the gun and in the turret, and the charge was stored in a closed ammunition box below the turret seat.

At this point, the loader grabbed a shell and was about to stuff it into the chamber, Habibullah glanced at it, and shouted: "No, it's a grenade, not an armor-piercing shell, stuff an armor-piercing bullet!" ”

In the bumpy tank, the loader stuffed the warhead back with difficulty, replaced it with another one, and when it was taken out, Habibullah glanced at it, wrong, it was an armor fragmentation bullet!

Forget it, just break the armor bullet, use it the same, it's all a tank anyway, in fact, even if it's a grenade, it is estimated that it will shock the other party, right?

The British insisted on using rifled guns, because rifled guns can fire armor fragmentation shells, which is a unique type of ammunition that does not need to penetrate the armor, as long as it is smashed on, it can shatter the armor inside the tank, and the flying fragments can directly kill the tankers inside.

Now, the armor fragmentation shell is stuffed in, and then the firing cartridge is loaded, and the loader finally takes a breath, this shell, I don't know it, how do you know what kind of bullet it is? The letters on it? He's illiterate, but he really doesn't understand.

"Attention, two thousand meters away, bind to shoot Zhu Yuan, ready to fire!" Habibullah shouted, and as soon as he finished shouting, he felt the tank shake violently.

"Boom!" The tank guns had already fired, and the huge sound of artillery rang in everyone's ears, which made people's hearts numb, and Habibullah shouted in annoyance: "Who told you to fire?" Hurd, you idiot! ”

Habibullah was furious.

At this time, the other two tanks had already opened fire one after another.

The three Chieftain tanks, at a distance of two thousand meters, had already begun the first round of attacks, and in the eyes of Bakr here, it was a complete bluff, the black smoke from the muzzle was rising, and the fire from the muzzle was shaking in front of him, as if these Chieftain tanks were very arrogant.

Actually, how can you hit accurately!

In the case of movement to movement, if the British came to operate the Chieftain tank, and three tanks fired together, it is estimated that one shell would hit, but if it was the opposite person, it would be different, and now, the quality of their tank crews, that is quite poor, and many people have even gone to the battlefield after only a few days of training.

And what about those experienced tank crews from before? Hehehe.

"Go ahead and ignore them!" Buckle said.

Sure enough, when the shells flew over, from a great distance from them, they flew over, and the error was quite large.

The engine of the 69-2 tank rumbled, puffs of black smoke came out, and inside the tank here, the crew of Bakker was already at the same high level of tension.

The distance is quickly approaching, from two thousand meters, to fifteen hundred meters, to a thousand meters!

The enemy's guns had already opened fire for the second time, and at this moment, Bakker shouted loudly: "Stop, prepare to fire!" ”

Although in terms of design, the 69-2 tank had a two-way stabilizer and already had the ability to fire on the move, however, Bakkel still wanted to be safe, stop shooting, static counter-movement, and obviously hit the target more easily.
