After lunch at the headquarters, Zhang Feng came to the shooting range under the guidance of Muhammad.

A shooting range is a deserted field, with high ground, otherwise, it would also become a swampy land.

Several majestic tanks were already in the field, and the soldiers were standing at their posts, waiting for the arrival of their superiors.

This time, it is said that a big man is going to come to inspect, so they have made careful preparations for this exercise, including the target and have planted explosives in advance, so that the cannon will be very spectacular.

"Salute!" Seeing the off-road vehicle of the brigade headquarters driving into the shooting range, the soldiers raised their right hands at the same time.

Muhammad skillfully returned the salute, and the car stopped in front of the nearest tank.

Zhang Feng got out of the car, this kind of tank, he has only seen it on TV, no way, Zhang Feng has learned the most advanced things from the military academy, and the tanks in the military academy all use the Type 96, which is similar to the Chinese Type 69 tank, and he is really not very familiar with it.

This time, I was finally able to get a closer look.

Five pairs of load-bearing wheels, relatively wide tracks, greatly improved the ability to pass in the swamps, and the 580 horsepower engine, used to drive the forty-ton body, was slightly difficult. The low cast turret, which is the style of Soviet tanks, has a simple process and a small bomb area. However, it also makes it more crowded for people inside.

Moreover, Soviet tank designers never considered the comfort of the crew, there was no air conditioning, only fans, and in such weather in the Middle East, noisy, stuffy, bumpy, as a tank crew, it was very hard.

Zhang Feng looked at the tank soldiers in front of him, and his heart was full of admiration for them, this is the Iraqi soldiers! The fate of the Hereafter must not fall on them!

A tank has four crew members, namely the driver in the front, the commander and gun commander in the back, and a loader nested in the innermost, and the loader was eliminated by the use of automatic loaders in more advanced tanks.

Zhang Feng really wanted to shout: Hello comrades! Then listen to whether the other party will answer: Hello chief, say it yourself: comrades have worked hard, then it is very feeling.

"Report, four combat vehicles of the 3rd Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 35th Armored Brigade, have been ordered to come for a shooting demonstration, please instruct. Company Commander, Ali Tikrik. The middle-aged man standing on the side said, with a beard on his face, but his pronunciation was clear and clear.

Muhammad looked at Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng nodded with satisfaction.

Muhammad said: "Company Commander Ali, let's start!" ”

Ali stood outside and gave the tankmen the order to start. At the same time, he handed each of the two high-ranking officials a telescope that would allow them to see more clearly the training of his men.

"Boom, boom!" The tank engine was started, and a puff of black smoke came out of the rear of the tank's side, and the huge engine was mounted right at the very back of the tank.

The tankmen closed the hatches and returned to the stuffy interior.

The driver jumped into the tank and drove to the pre-marked position.

The tank drove past with a bang, the barrel kept turning, and suddenly, the tank stopped briefly, the body shook, and a shell flew out of the chamber.

"Boom!" The target in the distance was suddenly torn to pieces, and the smoke from the explosion was spectacular.

Four tanks, all of which hit targets in the distance.

As the saying goes, the layman looks at the excitement, the insider looks at the doorway, Zhang Feng is not so easy to fool, he looked at the target in the distance with a telescope, and was a little suspicious, the power is so great, even if the tank uses a grenade, it can't achieve that effect, right?

Tank shells are divided into armor-piercing (non-exploding), armor-piercing (exploding before contact), armor-fragmenting (detoxifying after contact), and grenades (triggered and air-burst), and different ammunition is suitable for attacking different targets. The ammunition base of this T62 tank is 40 rounds, and the normal ratio is 17 grenades, 13 armor-piercing shells, and 10 armor-piercing shells. (Armor Fragmentation Bullets are basically eliminated).

And for the tank that shoots at the opponent, the most important thing is to use armor-piercing shells, and armor-piercing shells cannot explode. Zhang Feng was very curious about the type of ammunition used by the other party.

Also, Zhang Feng is also very dissatisfied with the way the tank can only fire when it stops, which will greatly increase the probability of being destroyed by the opponent, but in this era, the tank that can shoot while moving may not have been put into practical use.

However, shooting those fixed targets does not reveal the real effort at all, and when you really get to the battlefield, the opponent's tank will stop and wait for you to shoot?

"Allah is above, they have all hit," Muhammad said: "Your Excellency Qusay, are you satisfied with this debriefing exercise?" He felt that this high-ranking person from Baghdad might have been shocked.

Who knows, Zhang Feng was not happy: "Brigade commander, I am not satisfied with this shooting, do we have a moving target here?" ”

Muhammad asked the company commander Ali next to him: "Ali, let our brave soldiers shoot at the moving target, this fixed target is not very interesting. ”

Moving targets? Ali felt sweat on his head: "Report, this range is newly built, and our mobile target has not yet arrived." ”

Muhammad looked at Zhang Feng apologetically: "Your Excellency Qusay, there is no moving target here. ”

No moving target? Zhang Feng thought in his mind: "Then retreat five hundred meters, I remember, the effective range of our tank gun is at least 1,500 meters, right?" ”

Fifteen hundred meters? Ali was surprised that this young man actually understood everything! Shooting at 1,000 meters just now was already the limit, and he thought that it would satisfy the chiefs, but he didn't expect that he would have to do 1,500 meters.

Even if it was a thousand meters just now, it was cheating, fifteen hundred meters, that thought about it, Ali felt as if he was going to be seen through by the other party, did he know that his troops didn't use those damn fire control systems at all?

Zhang Feng looked at the hesitant Ali Company Commander, and knew that he had finally grasped the weakness, no matter how advanced the weapon was, someone had to control it. Not to mention, this weapon is not yet advanced.

I remember the instructor said that the quality of the Iraqi soldiers was very poor, and the tank crews always aimed by feeling, and did not use the fire control system at all, and in the tank battle, they were killed by the Iranian Chieftain tanks from a distance of 1,500 meters, and they were powerless to fight back.

Now that I'm here, I won't let this happen again!

As a soldier, you must be able to use the weapon in your hand! Unleash the power of your weapons!

"What? Is it difficult? Zhang Feng asked.

"No, the mission is guaranteed!" Ali suddenly had an idea in his heart, and it seemed that he had to use the old method just now, burying explosives next to the target, and when the shells flew out, no matter where they hit, they would detonate the explosives of the target, and maybe they could get away with it.

"Remember, armor-piercing shells are used this time." Zhang Feng added.

Ali's hand holding the radio trembled, armor-piercing bullets? How do armor-piercing shells explode? I'm afraid this play can't be performed again.

"Attention to the teams, retreat five hundred meters, rearrange the target, and shoot with armor-piercing shells." Ali spoke into the microphone and sent his orders into the tank.

The tank stopped, turned, and retreated.

At this moment, in the heart of the tank soldier, it is estimated that he has already begun to scold his mother.

They were already the best soldiers from the troops, but they were limited to visual aiming from five or six hundred meters, and at this distance they were the most accurate. Their usual training is basically this distance.

Beyond this distance, they are helpless, although there are those fire control systems, however, most of the soldiers are illiterate, and no one likes to ponder such complicated things.

Just now, they were able to shoot accurately from a distance of 1,000 meters, and that was because they had already calculated the position of the target and the position of the chariot in advance, and when they drove to that position, they only needed to shoot according to the Zhuyuan that had just been marked. Or rather, they didn't aim at all, all of this was a show.

And now, to shoot at fifteen hundred meters without a fire control system, it is absolutely impossible.

They started powering up the infrared lamps, ready to deal with something that looked complicated.

After the tank stopped, except for car No. 039, which stopped for a minute and began to fire shells, the rest of the tank grinded for at least five minutes.

If it was really in the war, I am afraid that at least a dozen shells would have been received.

"Knock, knock." Finally, they all started shooting.

Zhang Feng picked up the telescope, this time, the three targets, fortunately stayed there, only the No. 039 car just now, accurately hit the target.

Sure enough, not all of them are stupid, at least there is one who can use the fire control system, Zhang Feng thought to himself.

"Please ask the soldiers from car 039 to come over." Zhang Feng and the brigade commander said.

Muhammad, with a black face, told Ali to call the four tankmen.

"Which of you is the gunner?" Zhang Feng asked.

"Report, I'm the gun commander. My name is Elard. A voice shouted.

Zhang Feng looked at a young man who was probably less than twenty years old, and his eyes were very bright.

"You aimed at that shot just now?" Zhang Feng asked.

"Report, I'm aiming for." Alad replied.

"How did you aim? Are you proficient in using a fire control system? Zhang Feng then asked.

"Yes, I aimed with this ТШ2Б-41У telescopic sight, and the commander also corrected my aiming." Alad said.

"Okay, yes, now, you are already an instructor of the armored battalion of the 35th brigade, and you must have all the tankers in the brigade aim with this fire control system in half a month, and you must have an 80 percent starting hit rate at a distance of 1,500 meters." After Zhang Feng finished speaking, he glanced at Muhammad: "Brigade commander, I ordered it like this, didn't I overstep?" ”

"No, I'm also trying to order the whole brigade to master the essentials of shooting." Mohammed's heart was already full of surprise, this son of President Saddam Hussein really had extraordinary knowledge, and he had seen through all the ghosts of his subordinates.

"Yes, sir, the mission is guaranteed!" Alad replied loudly.

This kind of large-scale training must be carried out throughout the brigade, otherwise, the Iranian Chieftain tank will be able to blow up the T62 at a distance of 1,500 meters.
