Chapter 836: Abrams VS Apocalypse (Medium)
Of the five tanks that were scattered, three ran over the fence of the pasture and were facing the intersection head-on.
"Turn left parallel to the T-84, 700 yards away, anti-personnel grenade, ready to fire." Looking at the number on the commander's monitor, Greco spoke decisively.
As soon as he finished speaking, the gunner immediately adjusted the barrel, and the loader took out an anti-personnel grenade from the shell box next to him and loaded the barrel.
"Fire!" Greco saw that the barrel was already aimed at the point of fire and shouted again.
Immediately, the gunner stepped on the firing button with his right foot, and after the violent vibration of the body, the distant fire point calmed down after a burst of explosion, and several limbs flew into the sky with dust.
"Hit the target!" Greco shouted, controlled the two M2 Brown heavy machine guns on the roof of the car, and suppressed the fire on the other fire point, and the gunner also controlled the coaxial machine gun to suppress the target on the intersection.
For a time, the sound of machine guns was loud, and the ground of five tanks and fifteen heavy machine guns made countless potholes at the intersection, and every third bullet was a tracer bullet, and five tanks and fifteen flames were facing the advance of the tanks, and the scene was very spectacular.
At this moment, in several small buildings behind the intersection, more than a dozen special forces are scattered here, watching this gorgeous shooting show.
"It's really unusual, it's very accurate, but it's a pity that so many bullets are hitting the air."
"The captain's move is really good, knowing that the other party will quickly send tanks to seize this place, using remote-controlled machine guns to attract firepower."
"It's a pity that the shells of this group of Iron King VIII are too hard, our anti-tank missiles. It is estimated that only that T-84 can be killed. ”
……
In the communication channel, the special forces were very happy one after another.
The captain who led the team looked at the scene outside. The decisive order: "Give up the self-attack and call in air force support." ”
A moment later. The correspondent replied: "There is a call from above, there is no air force and deployment for the time being, but our tanks are almost there." ”
Following the communicator's words, the special forces in charge of guarding the retreat reported: "Captain, our tank has come to the back street. ”
"It's a rare tank confrontation, wait until it's an emergency, don't move, everyone turns on the video device and records this wonderful scene." The captain commanded, slightly excitedly, "Let's all get out of here." If you get hit by a ricochet, you will be unjustly killed. ”
Soon, the group left the small building at the intersection and ran towards the high-rise building farther away.
While moving, the captain also sent the scene of the intersection to the moving Apocalypse Tank.
On the other side, the five tanks that had successfully destroyed the fire point at the intersection had already cursed and approached. They all saw the so-called severed limbs, all corpses in Kenyan military uniforms, and it was clear that they had been tricked.
"Be careful, the Somalis are prepared. Pay special attention to the building on the right and watch out for sneak attacks from anti-tank missiles. Greco ordered.
On the T-84 tank, Clay and others were already indignant. However, before they could find the killer, the glass of the building next to the road on the right was suddenly destroyed. Sharp tungsten armor-piercing shells hit the left side of the T-84 directly after passing through the walls and windows.
"Bang!"
The body of the T-84 stopped directly. The flames came out of the inside of the tank, and in the blink of an eye, this T-84 was directly scrapped, and as for the people inside, the fate can be imagined.
If someone were standing on the left side of the T-84 at this time, they would clearly see a huge hole in diameter of 20 centimeters under the side of the turret, and fire was burning out of it.
The armor-piercing bullet that pierced through the armor of the hull caused catastrophic consequences in the hull, and the four occupants inside did not even know how they died.
"It's the Somali Lion tank, on the street on the left." The T-84 next to him suddenly turned into scrap metal, and through the broken glass window, he saw the figure of the tank on the other side of the round hole in the wall, Greco gave a quick warning, and then ordered: "All the tanks immediately retreat, hurry." ”
With Greco's order, the drivers of all four tanks immediately began to reverse.
"Freedom to fight back." Greco gave a final order, and then immediately ordered his comrades in the car: "Depleted uranium armor-piercing shells, in the direction of ten o'clock, at a distance of one hundred yards, lock and fire immediately." ”
In fact, he did not need his instructions, and when the tank began to reverse, the loader had already grabbed the armor-piercing shell and loaded it into the barrel, and the gunner also began to adjust the barrel and aim it at the broken glass of the street building.
However, the gunner did not directly press the firing pedal, adjusted the muzzle, aimed at the left side of the burning T-84 tank, and looked intently at the wall.
The other three tanks retreated, and while they were retreating, they all aimed their guns at the intersection and waited for the enemy tanks to appear.
Those who wait will always have a reward, and his prediction was right, the other party did not choose to walk out of the intersection in a decent way, but used brute force to directly hit the wall of the entire building, appearing next to the burning T-84 tank.
This was followed by a cannonball, and the shell hit the frontal turret of the tank on the far left, leaving a mesh crack, and the streamer of the shell was bounced away, and it was not known where it flew.
"Open fire." Seeing the tank in front of him, Greco shouted, and the gunner then stepped on the pedal button, and the cannon was ejected, which also hit the body of the Apocalypse tank, leaving a small mark, and the shell was directly ejected.
However, the tank that came out of the wall also attracted all the firepower, and the other three Abrams aimed at it, but there was no miracle, and all the armor-piercing shells were bounced off, leaving a few white spots.
"There are tanks in the back, three." Looking at the thermal imager, Greco soon spotted the thermal display on the other side of the street.
"King to king, enjoyable." On the other side, on the Apocalypse Tank that came out, the commander looked at the four M1A2s in front of him and shouted excitedly: "It's long overdue to fight again, these damn Yankees." ”
Soon, three other Apocalypse tanks also crossed the street, and the two sides encountered each other.
"Armor-piercing shells, open fire."
The command sounded in both tanks at the same time, and tracer shells swept through like lightning, and as they hit the tanks, tracer shells crossed the arc and flew into the distance.
This is not the first time that the two tanks have encountered, but the result is the same both then and now, and the only key to victory for both sides is who sees the rear of the enemy first.
"Full speed ahead, catch up. No. 3 and No. 4 to the left, and No. 2 to the right with me, surrounded the past."
On the side of the Apocalypse Tank, it quickly stopped shooting like wasting ammunition and chased it at full speed.
Sensing the other party's purpose, Greco also immediately gave an order: "Go full speed, car No. 2 and car follow me to the right, car No. 3 and car No. 4 to the left, pay attention to the weak points of the side tracks." ”
Immediately, the four Abrams main battle tanks stopped retreating at the same time, the 1,500-horsepower engines roared at the same time, and the huge tanks immediately moved forward after a short period of acceleration, and the distance between the two sides was instantly shortened.
At this moment, all eight tanks were within the confines of the pasture, the grassy pasture had been crushed into deep ravines, the tracks had left rows of axle prints on the soft grass, and the tracks were also covered with a mixture of grass juice and mud.
The two tanks in the charge, the distance is infinitely closer, the gun barrels of each vehicle are also aimed at their respective targets, the hunting system keeps the muzzle of the enemy tank at all times, and the rotating turret protects the side body with the front.
The distance between the two sides was already less than fifty meters, and yet neither the Apocalypse Tank nor the Abrams fired again.
On the No. 1 Apocalypse Tank, just as the tanks on both sides were about to stagger, the commander suddenly said loudly: "Each vehicle group adopts the No. 8 plan and gives me tracks." ”
As the order was issued, the barrel of the gun that was originally aimed at the retreat of the opponent's body suddenly pressed down, and the armor-piercing shells that had been filled into the barrel were fired at the same time.
"Bang!"
The moment the shell was fired, Greco felt a violent vibration of the body, and his body almost fell to the gunner on the left, and the advancing tank stopped, and under the explosion of the armor-piercing shell, the tank track broke, and the load-bearing wheels that were directly hit also broke a crescent-like gap.
"Damn, start fighting back." Greco didn't have time to bother with the arm he had just hit, looking at the tail of the Apocalypse Tank that appeared on the screen, and shouted at the gunner.
The counterattack came quickly, the stopped tank did not mean that it lost its combat effectiveness, the moving turret, catching up with the speed of the Apocalypse tank, and the tail of the Apocalypse tank, which continued to move forward, was also exposed to the firing angle.
The shell flew out, but unfortunately, although this gun hit the round-up of the Apocalypse tank, it was not at a good angle, and only knocked out the tank's taillight.
"Hit crooked, continue to reload." Seeing that the other party was safe, Greco hurriedly shouted.
At this time, it is already a race against time, other tanks also have the goal of fighting, there is no one to support him, and a tank that loses power is a very dangerous thing when facing another tank.
The atmosphere in the No. 1 car became very tense just now, and cold sweat overflowed on the commander's head, "What's the matter, I actually let the other party bite." ”
"Boss, the wheels just slipped and the grass was wet after rain, and the body was heavy and I couldn't accelerate!" The driver immediately replied.
"Be careful, don't be the first destroyed Apocalypse Tank in this war, it will be a shame." The commander didn't really blame the driver, the muddy grass, the fact that he didn't stand on the road in the first place, and the recoil from the shelling were all factors that affected the speed.
"No problem, I'm not going to give them another chance." The driver reassured him and began to concentrate on the angles of the barrels of both sides.
At the same time, the other six tanks were also competing together on this pasture, and the special forces were also watching with relish on the houses in the distance, and when they saw that their tanks were hit, the two snipers couldn't bear their hands anymore, and asked the captain for instructions: "Captain, let's knock out the opponent's periscope and easily resolve the battle."
