Chapter 39: Reactive Armor
"Why does this tank carry incendiary bombs, there are deserts everywhere here, and incendiary bombs have a fart!" The remaining reinforcements changed positions quite embarrassed, and the shells did not hit him, but the incendiary bombs ignited the surrounding trees, the smoke blocked the view, and the fire was still spreading, so they had to change positions.
"Hell knows, maybe they only have Molotov cocktails in their ammunition depot!"
After the fat man muttered, he pulled the trigger and killed an Iraqi soldier with a bullet, and in addition, in less than a minute, the Iraqi soldiers on the opposite side were reduced by ten.
The rest of the soldiers bent down and followed the tank without daring to show their heads, and the machine-gun firing hole of the tank rotated and continued to fire, and the bullets swept over the heads of the remaining reinforcements and others like a barrage of steel, and the surrounding trees, no matter how thick, were interrupted by the waist.
"Fifty meters!"
The tank was fifty meters from the grove, and the speed of the tank also increased, and the rampage, the bald head in the tank's path had to change positions, and the bullets ran after his ass, which might have blossomed if it weren't for the speed of the tank.
"Lucky, hurry up and kill the tank, or he will crush us to death!"
The remaining reinforcements aimed the rockets at the tank, and without the slightest hesitation, they pulled the reflex trigger, and the rockets flew towards the tank, close enough that they hit the tank almost instantly.
"Hit!"
After watching the rockets hit the tank, Yu Reinforcements immediately shouted excitedly, but what followed was a strafing fire.
"Damn, the armor didn't break through, this tank has reactive armor!"
Reactive armor is a layer of special armor draped on the outer layer of the tank, which is actually a layer of explosives, and when the tank is hit, the reactive armor will detonate the attack ammunition in advance, so as to protect the safety of the tank.
Practical and inexpensive, it was first used by Israel in 1982 during the fighting in Lebanon, and attracted worldwide attention, with almost the entire world working on reactive armor at the same time.
"Then give him another shot!"
"Roger!"
The remaining reinforcements hid behind a tree, took out the last rocket, and after loading, aimed at the tanks again, squinting their eyes, ready to continue to fire the two tanks from the place just now.
"Whew!"
The rocket hit the tank again, the explosion sounded, and everyone's eyes were focused on the tank, and the hope of the whole village was here, whether it was the chief or the emperor to see this blow.
If the tank is destroyed, the remaining soldiers do not have to worry, and they can be eliminated little by little according to the steps of positional warfare, and the huge fire from the explosion in everyone's eyes almost surrounds the tank.
The sound of the machine gun had stopped, and the remaining reinforcements breathed a sigh of relief and threw the RPG aside, this time it should be to kill the tank, right? Previously, the reactive armor had been detonated and was directly hit by the RPG, and this tank should have become scrap metal.
Anyone with a dream is great, Yu Reinforcements and others looked forward to it, but when the fire from the explosion ended, the tank moved again, and the machine gun continued to strafe, and at the same time, the soldiers behind the tank also began to charge, exposing their bodies from the back of the tank and rushing into the woods.
"Damn, didn't penetrate the armor!" The remaining reinforcements tossed their vehicles aside and picked up their rifles to shoot at the onrushing soldiers, missing the enemy but blocking their charge.
On the battlefield, in addition to the sniper can ensure the accuracy of shooting, no matter how elite soldiers can not guarantee the accuracy of bullet shooting, with the best Marine Corps in the United States, it basically takes thousands of bullets to destroy an enemy.
However, in close contact warfare, it is usually a dozen or twenty or even hundreds of bullets to kill an enemy soldier, and more often, the bullets will fly around the battlefield, perhaps hitting a target that is not the target.
"Deal with the Iraqi soldiers first, leave the tanks alone!"
The bald head also exposed half of his body from behind the bunker, shooting at the Iraqi soldiers, basically two shots will change places, and immediately after that, there will be bullets in the surrounding area, these Iraqi soldiers are some elite soldiers, know the way of three or three attack groups, and advance forward with cross-cover.
"Fire cover, Johnny, fire cover!"
Johnny, who was holding the machine gun on the other side, heard it, and immediately lay on the ground, and after opening the machine gun bracket in an instant, he lay on the ground, his neck and body were about 90 degrees, and he strafed the position of the bald head, and he couldn't see the target at all, but only suppressed the fire, but the effect of this wave of fire suppression was not bad, and at least three Iraqi soldiers were killed.
"I'm out of bullets!"
Tamu was the first to run out of bullets, the weapon in his hand turned into scrap metal, immediately threw away his rifle, picked up the pistol, and hid behind the book, an Iraqi soldier carefully advanced with his weapon, shooting at a suspicious position from time to time, and two soldiers behind him were responsible for covering the area on both sides, and the standard three-person combat team moved forward little by little.
Tamu stretched out his pistol, did not aim, and directly pulled the trigger, as if it was an African faith shot, the bullet hit the Iraqi soldier who hit the head, and fell to the ground in pain, at the same time, the other two Iraqi soldiers almost at the moment when Tamm fired, turned the muzzle of the gun, and shot at Tam's position, Tamu had to retract his head, hide behind a tree, and change to a new pistol magazine.
"Hey, I'm Tam and I need support!"
As soon as the words fell, a gunshot rang out beside him, and one of the Iraqi soldiers fell to the ground, and the fat man lying on the ground not far away pulled the bolt: "The fifth!" ”
Before the other Iraqi soldier could react to what was happening, his body ached, and he slowly fell to the ground, and the remaining reinforcements not far away stood up from behind the trees, threw his rifle on the ground, and rushed to Tamu quickly: "It's okay!" ”
"It's fine!"
"Replenish the ammunition, damn the bullets of this group of Iraqi soldiers are not the same as ours!" After the remaining reinforcements finished speaking, they picked up the weapons used by the Iraqi soldiers on the ground, checked the weapons a little, and after making sure that there were not too many problems, they changed the magazine again and left directly.
The war mercenary squad set out with five magazines each, and after a battle, they had little ammunition left, and now they had to use the captured weapons, although it was a bit risky, but at least they didn't worry about ammunition.
