Chapter 963: Let's go to Bonn
"Brothers, hateful Persians, trying in vain to export the Islamic Revolution to us, to make us their puppets. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Muhammad said: "In order to defend our homeland, we fought this war with great indignation, and moreover, we won an unprecedented victory. ”
The officers and men of the 35th Brigade gathered on the field, and there was no sound, only the voice of the brigade commander Mohammed, echoing in the air.
"The odious Persians are not willing to be defeated, and now they are coming from the marshes, and if they are allowed to break through our defenses, then Basra, Abadan, Karon, our compatriots who are still fighting bloodily will be attacked on their backs." Mohammed said: "In front of us, there are Iranian chieftain tanks, and we are going to use our tanks to wipe out the chiefs in the swamp and not let them break through our defenses!" Long live Allah! Iraq will win! ”
"Hail Allah! Iraq will win! "The officers and men of the 35th Brigade were all inspired and full of fighting spirit.
"Now, let's get on the tanks and destroy those hateful Persians!" Muhammad ordered.
"Yes!" The armored corps of the 35th Brigade stepped on the tanks and started the motors.
"Boom, boom!" One after another, the tanks, with black smoke coming out of the rear, started smoothly and advanced towards the swamp in battle sequence.
Muhammad got into the armored command vehicle behind him and followed the Type 63 armored car battalion with the tank formation. In addition to some armored personnel carriers, there are also a small number of 3CY-57-2 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, this twin 57 mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, using the same turf as the tank, with a rate of fire of up to 4,000 rounds per minute, used against the Iranian helicopters, is a suitable anti-aircraft firepower.
The three tank battalions, a total of one hundred and eight tanks, were all dispatched, because Zhang Yang had discovered the movements of the Iranians in advance, so although the troops were resting, the 35th Brigade did not relax at all, no soldier was allowed to take a vacation, and the combat vehicles were well maintained, and each vehicle was guaranteed to have sufficient ammunition and full fuel, and was in a state where it could be dispatched at any time.
In this way, the 35th Brigade created a miracle for the Iraqi army, and within 15 minutes of learning of a sneak attack by enemy armored forces, it was ready to go into battle and march to the theater of operations.
The only thing that is lacking is that all the gun commanders and commanders have learned to use the T-62's fire control system under Alard's explanation, so that they can shoot at a distance of 1,500 meters.
The T-62 tank held its barrel high and was constantly jolting and undulating.
At the forefront was the first battalion of the 35th Brigade led by Harrat, and the third company where Alad was located was in the second battalion behind.
Several armored reconnaissance vehicles, quickly passing the entire procession, drove forward, their task was to detect the Iranians' whereabouts as soon as possible by visual sight, and then the official battle was handed over to the tank battalion.
The tracks of the Type 63 armored reconnaissance vehicle, which first drove into the swamp.
Although it had rained, the sun here was a bit scorching, and in many places it was not so muddy, and the driver only felt the back and forth bumps, and sometimes the tracks were slipping sideways, but everything was under control.
The T-62 tank, which was more than 40 tons, followed into the swamp, and suddenly, the engine felt a lot of difficulty, and the driver lowered the gear, but he still had to bang the throttle to be sure not to fall into it.
Even the T-62, which is good at swamps, feels struggling, the chieftain of the Iranians, how exactly did he do it? All the armored corps had this doubt, but, they knew that it was unmistakable, and they would soon encounter the Iranian tanks.
The Chieftain tanks, which were now on the improvised road, lined up, waiting for the cement to solidify in front of them.
If it weren't for the hind causing trouble, it would be time to sail out of the swamp! Hillard, the commander of the first armored battalion at the front, stood on the turret and looked at the Chieftain tanks waiting behind him, a little helpless.
The helicopters in the sky have also returned to base, the CH-47 needs to go back to transport cement, and the Cobra has been in the air for several hours and needs to return to refuel.
At this time, the sky is full of white clouds, which is a rare good weather. But the sun has already slipped to the west, and in two or three hours, I am afraid that it will be dark, and at the current pace, it will be just out of the swamp after dark, which is not bad, and it is very advantageous for the attacking side to take advantage of the cover of night.
The soldiers jumped out of the sweltering tank and chatted around in twos and threes.
Let them relax, Sheila has to know that the working environment of the tank crew is very harsh, the heat is high, the noise is high, the air is dirty, and the inside of the tank is like a living coffin that can be moved.
Sheilad glanced at the young man beside her, and her gaze was again in the distance.
In the distance, I saw a few small black dots appearing, which were moving in this direction.
What is that? Hillard immediately picked up the military high-powered telescope hanging from her chest.
This look surprised him: this is one, not two armored vehicles, and it looks like it should be the Type 63 armored car equipped by Iraq.
The other party came so fast!
"Quick, the Iraqis are coming up, ready to fight!" Sheilad shouted.
The armored soldiers, who were lazy just now, immediately became vigorous at this moment, quickly jumped on their tanks, and started with a bang.
"The target is still 3,000 meters away, pay attention to aim, and as long as the opponent is close, fire immediately." Sheilad commanded over the radio, and as soon as he finished shouting, he jumped back inside the turret and started the radio.
At the same time, he picked up another radio microphone and shouted: "Report to the division commander, I am the first armored battalion, our unit has already encountered the enemy, and our unit has encountered the enemy. ”
Hillard's tank is a command vehicle, so there are two radios, one with a smaller power and a range of only 20 kilometers, which is responsible for communicating with all the combat vehicles below, and one with a large power, enough to cover a range of 100 kilometers, and is responsible for contacting the superiors.
So, there are two whip antennas in the rear of the tank, and the combat vehicles of the lower class have only one radio, but in order to confuse the enemy, all tanks have two antennas, and one antenna is useless. Otherwise, when fighting, the opponent only needs to aim at the tank with two antennas, and one dozen will be the command vehicle.
In the periscope of MK1 on the 30th, the other party had already driven into a distance of two thousand meters.
"A company prepares, the tail is stabilized and deshelled, armor-piercing shells, and at 1,800 meters, the opponent is eliminated. Two and three times on alert. Hillard commanded. (To be continued.) )
