Chapter 578: Complete Victory
The hit rate of the first artillery missile was only about 50 percent, but it still reimbursed more than 30 M1 tanks in an instant, and in the process, the two sides were still approaching rapidly!
"Armor-piercing bullets!" Seeing that the battalion commander's tank was exploded, the deputy battalion commander took over the command and continued to give orders, and now, the distance is two thousand five hundred meters, but the American tank soldiers can't help it! Although two kilometers or less is the most suitable, however, theoretically they can even bind data and fire shells at a distance of three thousand meters!
"Boom!" With the roar of the barrels, 120-mm tank shells flew towards the Iraqi armored forces in the distance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Brake!" Ali gave the same order.
Against artillery missiles, this way is useless, because artillery missiles can adjust their course at any time! As long as the operator adjusts the laser beam in time to continuously illuminate the target tank, the ability to hit accurately can be achieved.
And the tank shell, when it is shot, the flight trajectory is fixed! And at such a distance, the fire control system of the American tank is bound with a certain amount of advance and the trajectory calculated in advance according to the way the target tank moves at a constant speed, and now, the sudden braking of the T-72 tank makes most of the shells fired by the American tank empty!
The front of the tank was splashed with yellow sand, and the attack of the Americans was also very accurate, and if they continued to advance, they would definitely be hit! Ali twisted his fat body and ordered to keep moving!
The collision of steel and steel is tactical!
As this round of shells was empty, the Americans became even more agitated, they continued to rush forward, and soon the second round of shells began to shoot!
"Boom!" With the roar of the tank gun, the 120-mm shell-piercing projectile, throw away its own butt, spread its wings, and fly forward!
Soon, its tip hit the turret of the T-72, and by chance, it did not hit the reactive armor, grazing the edges of two pieces of reactive armor with angles, and hit the main armor directly!
Pierce through the steel armor on the outside, melt the quartz sand, and continue to drill inside!
"Boom!" This T-72 suffered a violent detonation, and with the detonation, the turret flew high.
The battle of blood and fire is constantly being staged!
"Fire!" Ali shouted loudly, and with his order, a 3BM42 armor-piercing projectile, flew out!
Unlike history, the 3BM32 armor-piercing bullet used by the Soviet Union is still a tungsten alloy core, which has improved the structure, increased the length-diameter ratio, and greatly increased the depth of penetration, reaching the level of 600 mm, and this 3BM42 armor-piercing bullet has adopted a new material, which is depleted uranium!
When he was fooling the Americans, Andrei conducted a target piercing experiment in Hokkaido, and at that time he achieved a penetration depth of 1,000 millimeters that shocked the world, so that the Americans did not dare to move at all.
At that time, it was a depleted uranium bomb. However, after that incident, the Soviet Union also began to make great efforts to study depleted uranium shells, and now, this 3BM42 exported to Iraq is a kind of depleted uranium bomb!
The core of the bullet accurately hit the main armor of an M1 tank, and then began to drill inside, and the armor of the imitation Chobham structure was resisted to the death! Destroyed by an anti-tank missile, there is no way, but if it is also hit by a tank shell, then the American M1 tank does not need to be mixed!
This is a battle between spear and shield, as the armor-piercing bullet begins to enter, there is a violent friction with the armor, and at the same time, the kinetic energy of the armor-piercing bullet is constantly converted into heat energy, and finally, the armor-piercing bullet can not stand it, and the outer layer of depleted uranium begins to burn!
The burning depleted uranium, as if it was gas cutting, increased the armor-piercing performance, and just like that, the armor-piercing projectile continued to drill inside, and suddenly, the head was loosened and drilled through!
"Boom!" This M1 tank, just like that, was destroyed!
Ali breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this latest armor-piercing bullet exported by the Soviet Union to his side is still effective! What he fears most is that he can't destroy the opponent's tanks, in which case, his side will have to retreat temporarily!
And now, not dishonoring the mission, your new armor-piercing projectile has finally destroyed the opponent's tank!
Under the new round of onslaught, Ali's armored forces, with an absolute sweep, took out the remaining tanks of the Americans, although they also paid the price of five destroyed, but none of the Americans' tanks ran away!
In fact, the performance of this 3BM42 depleted uranium armor-piercing projectile is similar to that of the 3BM32 armor-piercing projectile, except that the depleted uranium can burn in the process of armor-piercing, which objectively increases the depth of armor-piercing! Therefore, this armor-piercing projectile has also reached a penetration depth of more than 700 mm, and the American M1 tank simply cannot carry it!
Historically, the scene of the Iraqi army being mad in the Gulf War will not be repeated! The Soviet Union almost brought the most advanced equipment developed by itself to Iraq! The monkey version of the T-72 in history, which made the Soviet weapons famous! And now, the USSR was quite generous, and such armor-piercing shells, which the USSR itself did not equip itself, were exported to Iraq!
After killing the Americans' armored forces, Ali's tank group continued to charge, but after continuing to advance less than five kilometers in the yellow sand, Ali frowned.
What I just met was just the striker of the Americans, and now, it is the main force of the Americans!
The 1st Cavalry Division, 3 cavalry brigades, a total of 6 heavy tank battalions and 3 infantry battalions, are mainly equipped with 348 M1A1 main battle tanks, 218 M2 infantry fighting vehicles, 308 full-track armored personnel carriers, and 167 tracked command post carriers...
Just now, Ali was only in contact with the vanguard of the 1st Cavalry Division, and now, the two heavy divisions are finally facing each other!
Such a battle made Ali's blood boil, and he firmly believed that his tank force would be able to inflict heavy damage on the other side! After all, the first contact just now, the exchange ratio is almost 10 to 1!
But later, he saw the scene in his sights that he didn't want to see the most.
In addition to tank troops on the ground, the opposing side also has helicopters in the air!
The 1st Cavalry Division, after several reconstructions, does not have as strong helicopter gunships as the Air Assault Division, but, after all, they still have wings to fly!
At full strength, the 1st Cavalry Division has 44 AH-1 attack helicopters, 24 UH-60A multi-purpose helicopters, 44 OH-58D observation helicopters, and 3 EH-60 electronic warfare helicopters.
And now, although it is not enough to make up, there are nearly thirty AH-1 Cobra helicopters that have flown over!
And against tank troops on the ground, helicopter gunships are the biggest killers! (To be continued.) )
