The L11A5 120mm rifled tank gun of the Chieftain tank, when firing a tail stabilized shelling armor-piercing projectile, is powerful enough to penetrate a 500 mm thick homogeneous steel plate and hit an armored vehicle only a dozen mm thick.

According to aerodynamics, the thinner the projectile, the less drag. But the caliber of the gun is certain, so a new way has emerged: a lightweight butt is used to clamp the armor-piercing projectile body in the middle, the caliber of the butt is consistent with the caliber of the cannon, the armor-piercing projectile is made into an elongated rod, and after the disembowel, the butt automatically falls off due to the effect of resistance, and the projectile body continues to fly along the barrel, which is the origin of the word "shelling". In order to ensure the stability and accuracy of the slender missile body during flight, when manufacturing the armor-piercing projectile, four tail fins are installed in the tail and arranged in a cross shape, so it is called "tail stability". This kind of armor-piercing bullet has a fairly powerful armor-piercing ability.

The two Type 63 armored reconnaissance vehicles looked like they had been bitten by mosquitoes, but the pointed mouths tore the skin of the armored vehicles and kissed the armored vehicles passionately. Then, the belly of the armored vehicle suddenly exploded, and the ammunition inside was killed by the heat flow formed when the armor-piercing projectile was fired, and the entire armored vehicle turned into a ball of fire.

The squad leader's head was full of sweat, as long as he hesitated for a moment just now, his armored car, I am afraid that it will also be treated in the same way, just the moment he hung up the reverse gear and retreated, the other party began to fire shells, in this short time, the armored car retreated a length of the body, and survived.

What the squad leader didn't know was that he was spared, and there was another reason, the Chieftain tank used a rifled gun, that is, rifling was engraved in the chamber, and the tank gun was a typical high chamber pressure, high ablation, and the rifling was worn quite badly, and the tank guns aimed at him had already fired more than 80 shells, and the shooting accuracy had declined.

The speed of the armored car's retreat was not fast, and the squad leader had almost stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and he couldn't see the situation behind clearly, so he kept going backwards and leaving the battlefield.

If it were under normal circumstances, the opponent's Chieftain tank would have been chasing after it with a bang, no matter how fast it retreated, it would not be as fast as the opponent's advance, and after the opponent came up, it would have made up a few shells, and his own armored car would probably have become a fireball.

However, the other party did not move and did not chase after him.

The squad leader was completely convinced of his judgment and immediately reported to his superiors by radio.

"Report to the brigade headquarters, our armored reconnaissance squad has found traces of the enemy, ten kilometers east of our department, the opponent is in the swamp and cannot move, repeat again, the other party is in the swamp and cannot move!"

Muhammad received the message at once, and although he did not know what he meant by the inability of the other side to act, he knew that the time had come to test the 35th Brigade.

"The tank battalion, immediately move eastward, ready for battle, the infantry battalion, follow after two kilometers." Muhammad said.

Just now they were still moving north, and now, all the tanks immediately turned to the right, formed a line of battle formation, and headed east.

In everyone's heart, they are holding back their strength, rushing forward, beating this group of cunning Persians, wanting to sneak attack themselves, no way!

If you look at it from the sky, the usually quiet swamp is now a noisy scene, a large platoon of tanks, scrambling to the east.

If a few helicopter gunships flew in the sky at this time, the exposed tank assault group, without the follow-up of anti-aircraft fire, would suffer great losses.

It's just that the Iranian Cobra is still on the way back to refuel. Iraq's Hind helicopter gunships, which are still in the military region for the time being, have not been redeployed.

The Iraqi air force has not yet reacted, and this battle is destined to be a frontal collision between the armored groups of the two sides.

Sheilad sensed that the situation was not good, the cement had solidified, and he immediately ordered his first armored battalion to move on! If you stay here, then you will soon attract the opponent's attack, and it is better to take the initiative than to stay where you are and be beaten.

A large number of tank troops in the rear are also following forward, and after Rajavi learned that the front had exchanged fire with the Iraqis, he knew that something was wrong, and now, there is no other way but to eliminate the opponent's armored group in the swamp, and immediately attack the swamp as soon as possible!

After only five minutes of walking, I saw a torrent of steel in front of me, and the other party came so fast!

At this time, Hillad felt that the situation was very unfavorable for her, and the tank troops on both sides were lined up, but the other side was completely spread out in front of her, but her tanks were in a column, and the two sides formed a T-shape. In this way, his own firepower cannot be deployed at all, which is equivalent to tying his hands and feet and fighting desperately with a pack of wolves.

"One battalion and three battalions, two bread raids, two battalions, frontal attack." Seeing that the opposing tanks had already appeared in his sight, Muhammad gave the order to fight.

Suddenly, the one-line charging formation began to curl from both sides, and the first and third battalions outflanked each other from both sides.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer.

"One company, against the enemy at 6 o'clock, second company, against the enemy at 9 o'clock, three company, against the enemy at 3 o'clock, each company pay attention, destroy the enemy at a long distance, do not let them come close." Sheilad shouted over the radio.

Originally, his situation was very embarrassing, and it was not suitable for the play of firepower, but he did not expect that the opponent's brainless commander actually attacked his flank, so that the firepower of the tank was just fully exerted.

Although the number of enemies is several times that of her own, Sheila is not afraid at all, and her fire control system is enough for the chief to deter the enemy at a distance of 1,800 meters, and at 1,500 meters, he can almost hit every shot. And only after the opponent has rushed into six or seven hundred meters, the simple T-62 fire control system will make them pose a threat to themselves.

Several combat experiences have taught Hillard that the Iraqi tanks are typically short arms, but they can't reach them with their fists, and as long as they destroy the enemy from a long distance, he can be safe and sound, and when the time comes, I am afraid it will be a great achievement.

The only thing missing is that his tank can't move, otherwise, he would have ordered his tank to rush down and fight with the other side.

Muhammad looked at his tanks, forming a standard attack formation, and was gradually approaching the other side, while the powerful chieftain, like a sleeping sheep, did not make the slightest movement, which made him feel more confident, hitting moving targets, it is a little difficult, and hitting stationary targets, it is much easier, especially for their own tank troops who have just mastered the essentials of long-distance shooting, the opposite chieftain is simply a suitable target for live ammunition.

"Attention, all units, do not get too close, the fire control system, adjusted to a distance of one and a half thousand meters, ready for the first shot, the tail is stabilized to deshell armor-piercing shells." Muhammad commanded on the radio.

Ali, the company commander of the third company of the second battalion, heard this order, but his stomach was full of bitter water, who could shoot accurately at such a long distance? When did the brigade commander become so cautious? We just rushed up and let the Persians open fire, and at a distance of five or six hundred meters, we would blow up the chieftains one by one.

Company Commander Ali, who has only been in the third grade in elementary school, has invested great enthusiasm in this fire control system, but unfortunately, he still has not mastered it, and the level of the gun commander under him is not necessarily better than him.

Ali, as a company commander who climbed up from the bottom, has experienced many battles, and his courage is commendable, but his ability is insufficient, especially because he needs a tank with a certain level of knowledge, so he will make repeated mistakes and cheat when reporting exercises, but he is still a brave Iraqi fighter.

Alad is full of confidence, he has been studying the fire control system of the T-62, and he has long been familiar with it, he turned on the infrared light, and aimed the T-62's 2A20 type 115mm smoothbore gun at a chief in front of him, he can feel that the chieftain, I am afraid that it is also aimed at himself, this feeling, very unbearable.

"Crunch!" The tank stopped, and the shooting in motion was still an insurmountable barrier, so they had to stop if they wanted to hit the opponent accurately, but this was only temporary.

"Boom, boom, boom!" At this moment, the chieftain of the opposing side began to fire shells.

Not to be outdone, the T-62 also fired shells almost at the same time, and the first firing between the two sides began.
