Chapter 174: Flanking Attack
Got it! At the same time that the man said yes, the group on the east side of the road fired another round of RPG-29 rockets, most of which hit the road and the M1A1 main battle tank and failed to cause substantial damage to the M1A1 tank, which had turned to the east side, and just as they tried to fire the Kornet anti-tank missiles again, three tanks adjusted their firing positions and fired a salvo as instructed by Connor.
I saw three shells hit one after another, hitting the eastern extension of the tunnel where the militants were located on the east side. Although the shells did not explode directly in the tunnel, the shock wave and fragments of the explosion also rushed directly into the tunnel, and in an instant, the air waves rushed out along the tunnel to both sides. Naturally, the people who were close to the place where the shells landed were crushed in an instant, and the people who originally fired anti-tank missiles from other directions were also injured a lot. In the end, only one "Cornet" was hit, but it only hit one M1A1 tank in the front, and after exploding, it seemed to only cause some damage to the tank, but it did not stop the tank.
"Go on! Keep loading, reloading! "The man in charge of the command shouted loudly as you got up from the tunnel. And at that moment, a voice came from a walkie-talkie that fell beside him.
This person immediately picked up the walkie-talkie, and after hearing the other party's words and responding, he hurried his subordinates again: "Change the RPG-29 shooting and prepare to withdraw, withdraw while fighting, and take the anti-tank missiles with you." Let them withdraw first, hurry. ”
At the man's order, the militants in the tunnel immediately moved, only to see that they quickly removed the launcher and moved along the tunnel to the section of the tunnel leading to the east side. And the people carrying the RPG-29 quickly finished reloading again, and instead of leaving immediately, two of them quickly got up and pulled the trigger again after aiming.
The rocket flew out again, one hit the roadbed on the road where the Americans were again and exploded, but the other flew past the side of one tank and hit the track of the left wheel of an M1A1 tank.
"They're going to run." Connor immediately made a judgment as he looked at some of the lowered launchers, as evidenced by the fact that some moving shadows flashed through the tunnels. This immediately made him face two choices, one was to run away, he should immediately check the damage, rescue the wounded, and then advance to the small town of Shahad, which was still fighting in front of him, and join the people who were still there. But in this case, it is difficult to ensure that the group of people who ambushed him just now will not quickly bypass and come behind him after he leaves, and plot against him again. You must know that if you let these anti-tank missiles used by the other side directly attack the rear of your own tanks, the losses caused will not be the same as now. But once you chase it, will you enter a new trap? At the beginning of the battle, the life and death of the people in the bombed tank were still uncertain, and if they entered another ambush circle, wouldn't they fall into a passive situation where they could not advance or retreat?
And while Connor hesitated, the retreating militants were constantly firing rockets at them. The tanks commanded by Connor are also constantly firing back, but the effect of such shelling is not ideal, and the opponent will always fire a rocket from time to time.
Looking at such a scene, Connor suddenly felt a little strange, that is, this group of militants seemed to be deliberately luring himself forward to pursue them, thinking of this, he immediately said: "Order, the second platoon stays." The person responsible for covering the rescue of the wounded. The others come with me! First open the entrance to Shahad's town and meet the people inside. ”
Immediately the reinforcements of tanks and armoured vehicles moved again, and some of them left the road as if to continue north. Said, who had been watching the battle here in Shahad's small town, reacted immediately, and he immediately looked at the people around him: "Let the people of the second team do it immediately, we can't wait any longer." The Americans were not pursuing, they were coming towards the town. Remember to attack those main battle tanks first. ”
The people around him immediately agreed and conveyed the order, and the second team on the west side of the road immediately took action after receiving the order. I saw that one of them was also a person who had been watching, and this person looked ahead and said, "Anti-tank missiles, RPGs are ready." First with anti-tank missiles. Immediately after launch, rockets were fired at those armored vehicles. Hit the north side closer to the town first. ”
Following this man's command, the militants in the tunnel on the west side lifted the wooden planks used to cover the floating earth as a camouflage overhead, and quickly set up the launcher of the "Cornet" on the edge of the tunnel, and after reloading, quickly aimed at the three M1A1 tanks that were preparing to march to the north.
"Take aim and fire. Launch! The observer shouted excitedly, and just as he finished speaking, an anti-tank missile flew out of the launcher on the launcher and ran directly to the rear of the side of an M1A1 tank.
The moment the anti-tank missile flew out, it was discovered by the American soldiers on the tank that had been damaged earlier. But just as he was shouting to alert his companions, the anti-tank missile had already flown onto the road and hit the M1A1 tank it was attacking.
I saw an explosion like something was coming from the back of the tank and giving the tank a hard blow, which made the tail of the tank jump slightly and suddenly rush to the front. Then I saw that there was a fire in the place where it was hit, and it continued to flicker, and soon it burned, and the tank also stopped moving.
"West side. Pay attention to the west side. Veer! Connor's reaction was quick, and he immediately realized the direction of danger after hearing the warning from his men, and he didn't have time to think about it and immediately ordered his men to stop and turn, but before they could complete this action, two explosions were heard, followed by a sudden violent vibration from the car he was in, and he lost consciousness when it was dark in front of him.
Looking at the continuous series of attacks from his subordinates on the road on the south side, Said, who had always seemed very calm, suddenly became excited. I saw him staring there and shouting hello. Then he looked at the people around him with some excitement: "Let a team of people return." Let them go back and flank the Americans, still targeting the tanks, and let them take out the tanks first. ”
