Chapter 173: Cornet

Although the tank did not have any obvious trauma from the outside, it is certain from the state and trajectory of its current driving like this that the explosion just now has caused heavy damage to the people in the car, and they dare not say that they are dead, but at least they have lost consciousness.

The entire convoy immediately stopped, and the major officer named Connor, who was in charge of the command, immediately contacted the lanes: "Watch out! Be vigilant. ”

While he was stabilizing the whole team, here on the east side of the road, the person who had been observing motioned to the people around him, "Do it, quickly." Use RPG-29 rockets to take out those armored vehicles first. Hurry, hurry, hurry. ”

With his command, the planks covering the pit were lifted one after another. The man in the tunnel then stepped on the wooden crate they had brought in for footrest, and with the help of their companions, they put RPG-29, which was much longer than RPG-7, on their shoulders.

"Aim! Aim! The person in charge of the command continued to observe with the telescope and said loudly, "Prepare to launch!" Ready to launch! ”

Just then, a tank guarding the eastern side noticed the situation. So he immediately contacted: "East side! Major, our east side. There are people there, there are people moving. ”

Upon hearing the report, Connor immediately looked to the east side, but just as he could look, a rocket flew out in the direction of their convoy.

"Rockets! Rocket! Connor yelled twice and said again, "Fight back." Fight back immediately. On the east side, the distance is about 200 to 300 meters. "He didn't finish his words here, after the first rocket flew out, the second, the third, the fourth. I saw rockets fly out one after another, and then there were explosions one after another.

The first rocket hit an M2 armored vehicle near the middle of the convoy and exploded. The second and third hit the roadbed and did not hit the target directly. The fourth hit the side of an M1A1 tank.

RPG-29 naturally had no chance of destroying the M1A1 main battle tank, but it was just shaking violently inside the tank, causing the people inside to have no other reaction after a burst of gold stars appeared in front of their eyes. But the M2 armored car is different, I saw that after the armored car was hit, it seemed to be directly disemboweled, and the side of the body was blown open a big opening.

"All armored vehicles left the road and retreated to the western side. Hurry! Connor shouted as his tanks counterattacked. I saw that the tank lowered its turret, took a slight aim, and fired at the place where the rocket had just been fired.

A shell hit directly on the east side of their tunnel, that is, behind these people, although it did not directly cause damage, but the violent vibration caused by the explosion still made the people in the tunnel unable to stand firmly, and some people were even shocked and their eyes were blackened for a while.

"With the cornet that the Russians gave us! Hurry up! Hurry up, hurry up! The man in charge of the tunnel said loudly while observing, he was not satisfied with the first wave of attacks by his gang, according to the plan, they should first attack those easily attacked armored vehicles when the convoy stopped, and try to kill them as much as possible, although this will lead to the loss of the best opportunity to attack the M1A1 tank, but it can cause the maximum casualties to this group of Americans, and as long as there are large casualties, the time for this group of Americans to arrive in Arsabad can be delayed to the greatest extent.

So at this moment, after the M1A1 opened fire one after another, the militants in the tunnel on the east side took out the Russian-made "Cornet" anti-tank missiles specially designed to deal with tanks.

One of the biggest advantages of the "Cornet" is that it is simple and fast to operate, so soon the anti-tank missile entered the step of aiming and preparing for launch.

"Shoot at any time!" The person in charge of the command continued to observe and said, "Let them shoot immediately." Also tell Said that the number of their tanks is eight, not one platoon, but eight tanks, two platoons! ”

As he spoke, four of the opposing team's eight tanks fired a salvo. They fired at the target of the tank that had just fired the first shot. The explosion caused a wave of air and violent vibrations, which caused the militants who had been preparing to launch anti-tank missiles to fall directly from the wooden boxes. But one of the cornets was still launched and flew straight towards an M1A1 tank.

"Anti-tank missiles! Note! Someone shouted in the comms, and then an explosion was heard.

"Car No. 4, car No. 4 was shot." Someone reported, and at the same time as the man shouted, someone warned: "Anti-tank missiles! Note! ”

Connor immediately looked back to the east, only to see another rocket fly near the site where it had just been shelled, and then flew straight in the direction of the back of his car and exploded behind him.

"Car Seven! Car No. 7 was shot! At the same time as someone reported, another person said: "Car No. 4 can't move, it's badly damaged, but Strong they're still alive, they're still alive." ”

"Fight back! Counterattack! Adjust your firing positions, they're a little closer to the point of impact we just had this time! As Connor shouted, several other tanks opened fire again, but they didn't get to adjust their firing location as before, and rockets were fired at the same time as they fired.

Watching the battle on the south side of the town, Saeed couldn't help but frown when he heard his men report that the actual number of tanks on the other side was eight. This is very bad news for him. At this moment, the only thing they can really pose a great threat to the M1A1 main battle tank is the Russian "Cornet", but this thing can not destroy the M1A1 every time, which not only has to hit but also has some luck, and more importantly, there are not many anti-tank missiles, if the attack on the road cannot destroy enough tanks, then it will cause great trouble to their own battle in the town. Even though he was prepared to deal with the most difficult situation before, because of the information of the previous prisoner, the current situation still made him feel not very good.

"Tell the first team and let them think of drawing this group to the east." Said said, "Let the people of the second team not rush to do it first, and then wait." Tell them to change their strategy and use anti-tank missiles in the first wave of attacks to kill as many enemy main battle tanks as possible. ”
