Chapter 121: Weaker than the Noodle Army
In this era, the vanguard of mechanized troops is Germany, and in addition to Germany, other mechanized troops are just a name, in name only.
For example, Iraq has also formed mechanized brigades, and for a country like Iraq that does not have any industrial capacity, their mechanized brigades can only purchase equipment from abroad.
What can they buy on the international market? As a Middle Eastern country that allowed British troops to be stationed, it was certainly impossible to buy tanks from Germany, and moreover, Germany's advanced tanks would not be exported to them.
Britain's own tank industry is also not developed, especially in the hot Middle East, many tanks are not suitable, so Iraq can only purchase some of the most low-end goods, such as these Renault tanks from World War I.
In addition to these tanks, there are also Italian CV33 tanks, which, together with a small number of Vickers mk6b tanks, constitute the main equipment of Iraq's mechanized forces.
If it is hard to anal with the main forces of the United Kingdom, it will definitely be the result of being exposed, but now, they are going to hit the British air base, there should be no problem with this, right?
The commander of the mechanized brigade, Hermi Said, sat in one of the CV-33 tanks, because this tank was so aggrieved, he showed half of his body outside, watching the Renault tank in front of him fire, with an excited expression on his face: "Yes, fire, blow up their planes!" ”
The 37-mm short-barreled guns continued to fire forward, and at this time they did not know that danger was looming.
A couple of Peewee tanks, actually came to trouble the British air base! Hataqi, who had already taken off into the sky, with anger in his eyes, pushed the joystick, and the fighter plane flew quickly in the direction of the opponent's fire.
In the darkness, the fire of the muzzle is the best guide!
Turning his weapon over the 1,000-pound bomb, Hatache pushed the throttle to the maximum, and then, pushing the lever, the plane began to dive.
Aim at the glide line and drop the bomb!
Those tanks that were busy firing did not even notice the planes diving in the sky!
A Renault tank was firing in advance, and suddenly, its hull shook, and this kind of vibration from the ground made the tanker wonder for a while, what is going on, is there an earthquake?
"Boom!" The bomb fell three meters away from the tank, and then it exploded!
Hundreds of kilograms of explosives exploded violently, instantly illuminating everything around, and the fireball started from the center and spread outward, first spreading to this tank, this small tank, was actually blown aside by the air flow of the explosion!
The 6 mm thick armor could not stop the attack of the bomb fragments, or rather, there were no fragments, and the explosion destroyed the armor, and then the tank burned and the gasoline was ignited!
This explosion killed three or four tanks around, and the tankmen on the Renault tank, who were not affected, were stunned by this scene, bombs, big bombs falling from the sky!
They looked up in horror as the terrible plane swooped down in the sky, and then flames erupted on both sides of the wings.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Rockets on both sides of the wings, with a sharp whistling and a terrible tail smoke, flew down and hit exactly one tank.
"Boom!" This tank, again hit, burned!
This kind of rocket is against ground fortifications, that is, ordinary high-explosive warheads, if it is a strong German tank, there is no threat, but it is no problem to abuse this light tank.
The constantly burning tanks made the Iraqi armored soldiers extremely frightened, and at this moment, an Iraqi tank soldier covered in fire crawled out of it, rolled in the flames, shouted, and stimulated everyone's nerves.
No, you can't stay in the tank anymore, it's too dangerous!
The tankmen jumped off their tanks and ran towards the rear, not knowing how stupid they were.
If they had been able to push directly into the air base and capture the British, but now, they were only attacked by an enemy plane, and they all lost their tanks and fled!
Hataqi in the sky, of course, will not let go of this opportunity!
The P-40 fighter had already finished firing rockets and dropped bombs, leaving only machine gun bullets, machine guns were ineffective against tanks, and at this moment, he couldn't believe his good luck, those tankmen actually crawled out of the tank and ran away!
Since the Iraqi tank crews were so face-saving, Khatache, of course, was polite, pushed the nose of the plane, and then pressed the button on the steering stick.
The machine guns on both sides of the wings, roaring and firing bullets, with the help of the fire on the ground, Hatache could clearly see the running soldiers, watching them be shot by their own machine guns, watching them fall, watching the others turn around, look at themselves in horror, and then be shot by machine gun bullets, this feeling, is simply indescribable.
It's like the age of cavalry, where the cavalry wields sabers, chases the enemy, deliberately slows down their horses, lets the other party run, run, constantly look back at themselves, experience the helplessness and despair before death, and cut off the opponent's head until the other party has no strength.
The current Khataki is so arrogant, with just one plane, he defeated the entire Iraqi mechanized division!
The infantry behind also ran back, as if there was death in front of them!
The mechanized brigade was in front, and the 3rd division, still on the way to come.
The battle of the Iraqi army has thoroughly interpreted their level, and it is said that the combat effectiveness of the Noodle Army is poor, and their combat effectiveness is probably inferior to that of the Noodle Army.
Of course, their cowardice did not affect the overall situation, at least in the city of Baghdad, the situation is still very good.
The artillery bombarded the Prime Minister's Office, and the Iraqi soldiers outside were so inspired that they rushed in without fear!
At dawn, finally, in the basement of the backyard, they found Prime Minister Nuri hiding there.
Nuri no longer had the dignity he had before, he changed into a servant's clothes, and planned to flee in the chaos, but unfortunately, he still did not escape.
"Go, take him away!" A triumphant Camille said.
"I'm the Prime Minister, what can you do to me?" Nuri shouted loudly.
"We will hang you in front of the palace to avenge the former king!" Camille said.
How to punish Nuri? Before the operation, they had already reached an opinion, hang him!
