Chapter 43: The Explosion
RPG-7 Bazooka, full name RocketPropeled Grenade (Portable) Rocket-booster grenade launcher, 7 is the version number. It is a portable anti-tank weapon that fires rockets and is mainly used to strike targets such as tanks, armored vehicles, and destroy fortifications at close range. The scientific name is "rocket-booster grenade launcher", commonly known as bazooka.
In later generations, the name of RPG-7 is well-known to the world, and it has been used by terrorist organizations to make some shocking examples.
At this time, more than 20 years have passed since the birth of the RPG-7, and countries such as Iran and Iraq have been able to produce such low-grade and high-energy weapons on their own.
Seeing the tail smoke coming, Zhang Feng immediately stood up every hair and shouted loudly: "Hades, hurry, accelerate, turn left!" ”
As an uncontrolled rocket, the shortcomings of the RPG-7 are also obvious, that is, there is no control system, aiming depends on the experience of the shooter, once launched, and then want to temporarily change the trajectory, it is absolutely impossible.
Therefore, as long as you spot the bazooka in time and adjust the direction, you can avoid this danger.
Zhang Feng was even a little glad that if the other party first aimed not at his own off-road truck, but at the Chief Tank, because the vision inside the tank was not wide enough, there would not be much resistance to the infantry in close quarters.
This is also the reason why in urban street battles, tanks must be protected by infantry, and if they lose infantry, tanks will also become targets for the opponent.
The smoking rockets, grazing Zhang Feng's off-road truck, flew over.
Zhang Feng just put his mind at ease, but he raised his heart to his throat again.
The missed rocket flew straight towards the ammunition storage site I had just seen!
"Quick, retreat, full speed retreat!" Zhang Feng shouted over the radio.
That unlucky Iranian soldier, in such a place where fireworks are strictly prohibited, what are you doing, you have to launch a rocket to play, this time you have a big deal, right?
Zhang Feng didn't have the heart to think about what kind of military trial this Iranian soldier should face, and being able to get out of the way was what he was most concerned about.
Ammunition detonation is no fun.
If it was a little earlier, he didn't know that the other party's weapons and ammunition were stored there, it would be sad, Zhang Feng wanted to be a hero, but he definitely didn't want to be a martyr.
Hades also found out that the situation was not good, and immediately stepped on the accelerator, and the off-road truck weighing more than ten tons rushed in the direction where he had just come.
It is possible to get out of danger only if you leave the base before the ammunition explodes.
Hearing the command on the radio, everyone knew that the situation was urgent, and the two off-road trucks rushed out first, and the Chieftain tank also fired at full power and galloped out.
The Iranian GIs in the base also laid down their weapons, and they all knew that it was a matter of life and death, so they ran out desperately.
At this time, the only person who was still standing still was the Iranian soldier who had just fired the rocket, except for the fool.
Allah, how can such a thing happen?
He didn't do much repentance, and the next moment, the dazzling light stung his eyes, and then, a strong wind, lifted him up.
Brought by off-road trucks, enough to support the advance of the armored units for half a month, shells, bullets, grenades, all like fireworks, were ignited.
"Boom, boom!" In the loud roar, the high-temperature and high-pressure air flow formed by the explosion of the ammunition stirred the air and formed a powerful storm. With this as the center, there was no longer any standing creature within a radius of 100 meters.
The explosion of ammunition caused the explosion of a tanker truck with nowhere to hide, and the continuous sound of explosions was like the Spring Festival of the old calendar.
In this storm, the off-road truck is like a small fishing boat in the huge waves of the sea, swaying from side to side, very afraid that the next moment, it will be overturned to the ground.
The chieftain tank behind the palace was under more pressure, but after all, the armor of the tank was many times stronger than that of the off-road truck, and the tank was heavier, and more importantly, it was Marwan who ordered the opening of the three-defense system on the tank in time.
In order to improve the survivability in the event of a nuclear war, all tanks have three defense devices, various vents have been confined, and an internal supercharger makes the air pressure inside the tank greater than the outside air pressure, so that the impact of the explosion on itself can be reduced to a minimum.
After running for a thousand meters, you can still see the fire burning at the base, and from time to time a fuel tanker truck is lifted high, and at this time, a sea of fire has formed there.
No one can survive there, it has turned into hell.
Marwan opened the cockpit roof and came out to breathe, the run just now was already exhausting for the chief, he turned off the engine, otherwise, the overheated engine would burst at some point.
"It's a lot of fun!" Hades punched the seat and said to Zhang Feng next to him.
The soldiers jumped out of the car and looked at the place where they had fought just now, which had become ruins, and the flames reflected the sky that was about to darken, and their hearts were filled with incomparable pride.
We are the Rattlesnake special forces, use me in the first battle, use me to win!
The joy of victory made them let their guard down, and no one noticed that several cobras had quietly pounced.
"Bastard, why hasn't the gas truck arrived yet? What do the guys in the transport camp eat? "The two tank battalions that had retreated, anxiously waiting for the fuel trucks to arrive.
The battle just now made them not dare to take it lightly, the huge chieftain was the pride of the armored troops, but also their burden, in the battle, the proportion of those who fell into the swamp and lost their combat effectiveness and those who were destroyed were almost equal, this is an astonishing proportion.
Moreover, the chieftain's fuel consumption was too high, and the two battalions that had been put into battle in advance had to withdraw and retreat to refuel.
The only thing that comforted them was that the T-62s of the Iraqi army had also been wiped out by them.
They are the most elite armored units, well-trained, and the fire control system of the Chieftain tank is very sophisticated, and many T-62s, all at a distance of 1,800 meters, have already been packed up by the Chief.
This made them more confident that as long as they got out of the swamp, there was a flat river ahead.
Now, the armored brigade in front of them, half of the tanks have been wiped out, and with a little more effort, they can open the way to the south.
Therefore, the fighters of the two battalions were very anxious, although their losses were also very large, but they had already seen that the Iraqi armored brigade in front of them could no longer withstand it.
Fighting, sometimes, is the will.
They were all eagerly awaiting the arrival of the fuel trucks.
Suddenly, a sharp-eyed soldier spotted a flash of fire in the distance, so huge, what was that?
They were anxious, that place was where their base was located, and coupled with the delay in the arrival of the fuel truck, they suddenly had an ominous premonition.
In the armored command vehicle, Rajavi heard a report that was simply unacceptable to him.
"The thirty-second armored division, I am Condor No. 1, the rear logistics base exploded, the rear logistics base exploded, and it is estimated visually that all fuel and ammunition have been lost."
Condor One, the code name of the CH-47 helicopter formation, was supposed to bring cement over for the last time before dusk, but it turned out to be done here.
When the CH-47 flew from Ahvaz, he saw that a fire was burning below, and knew that something was wrong, so he immediately reported it to the 32nd Panzer Division, and at the same time, several Cobra helicopter gunships, which were responsible for covering them, immediately carried out a frenzied retaliation.
No ammunition, no fuel, huge armored forces, that's cumbersome. Rajavi seemed to have been slapped twice hard, and he couldn't come back to his senses.
Ahead, two armored battalions were fighting bloody battles with Iraqi tanks, and they had gained the upper hand, and although the casualties were heavy, the T-62 could no longer withstand it. As long as the Iraqi armored forces in front are crushed and the torrent is rolling, they can pounce on the back of the Iraqi defense line and tear a hole.
The two armored battalions in the rear were waiting for fuel supplies, but who knows, there was an accident.
Now, what kind of orders should be made?
"Inform General Sharaf immediately." Rajavi said to the staff officer next to him.
The consequences are too serious, if I order it to be withdrawn, I am afraid that I will have to bear the responsibility for this failure, so I should ask for instructions.
PS: Thank you Fascis for the big reward again!
