Chapter 797: A Bold and Dangerous Attack
readx;
In addition to the SEG anti-tank missile, the Desert Leopard is a 30mm cannon and a machine gun, using these weapons against the T-55 tank, only the SEG missile is effective, however, the key problem is that this missile, can not be used at night, barely used, except for the release of beautiful fireworks, there is almost no other use. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧
After this battle, President Qusay, who received the combat report, attached great importance to it, and under his leadership, Iraq was finally replaced with advanced second-generation anti-tank missiles.
This is related to the design concept of the desert leopard, because this infantry fighting vehicle, which was originally accompanied by the advance of the armored forces, naturally has a tank to act as a direct blow to the opponent's tank, this infantry fighting vehicle, can not compete with the tank head-on, however, it has an advantage that the tank cannot match: high mobility xing.
The 400-horsepower engine of the Desert Leopard is used to drive the eighteen-ton body, and it is the big foot of the tires, which accelerates very quickly when it starts.
And the T-55's backward fire control system is simply not able to effectively target and shy the desert leopard, this is their capital.
Two of the eight fighters in each Desert Panther are carrying bazookas, which they can use to completely take out the T-55 tanks from the side. ≦≧
Although the effective range of the bazooka is only a few hundred meters, the observation distance of the backward infrared headlights of the opponent is only a few hundred meters, as long as the appropriate distance is taken, there is a chance to kill the other party!
When Hades is fighting, he sometimes makes a bit of a crazy desperate move, but after the fact. These actions of his are all confident actions under Jing's calculations.
Like now!
Idley breathed a sigh of relief, and his troops, advanced another five kilometers, but, however, did not encounter anything.
It was just a false alarm, just a handful of enemies. There were just some mines in ambush, and think of the dozen or so tanks that had lost their combat effectiveness and stayed there until dawn. Only then will there be personnel from the rear to rush to repair, and Idley will have some flesh pain, but. He still had a lot of fighting power to take that base.
As the tank bumped and undulated, Idley swayed with the hull, his eyes looking around from the TKH-1 Commander's infrared periscope.
Observed a circle, nothing. ≦≧
Turning off the infrared headlights outside, Idley felt that it was time for him to take a break, for a while. An even more difficult task awaited him.
Unbeknownst to them, less than a kilometer away, Iraqi marines, using their existing equipment, began a sneak attack.
They chose to flank from each other. Two infantry fighting vehicles, starting at high speed, drove towards each other.
On the march, especially during high-speed off-road marches, the turret is always forward, so. They don't go and turn the turret for no reason, and they don't notice a wheeled vehicle already coming from the side.
If they are spotted by the other party, they immediately turn and get away at high speed, and if the other party does not find out, they move on!
How can you tell if you have been discovered by the other party? In fact, it is very simple, as long as you see those infrared headlights in the infrared imaging night vision device, you can see that those infrared headlights are moving forward, proving that the other party is defenseless, if you suddenly find that the huge light of the infrared headlights is all thrown to them, it proves that the other party has turned the turret around, at this time, what can be done is one thing: run away quickly!
The shock absorption on the wheels absorbs part of the bumps, and then, the airbag seat that sits on, again absorbs part of the bumps, so that when it comes to the fighter's body, although it is still a bump, it is already within the bearable range. ≦≧
The driver in front was driving carefully and boldly, and if he was really hit by the opponent's artillery, their iron shell would be lifted in one fell swoop.
Approaching a distance of 250 meters from the opponent's flank, the opponent still did not find himself.
After they had carefully advanced a few kilometres, they found that there was nothing but a few mines, and they were unlucky to be attacked by mines on the road, and now that they had gone into the field, there could be no more mines, so they marched boldly.
After such a tiring night, if the commander and artillery commander had been scanning left and right all the time, they would probably have arrived at the air base, and their physical strength had been exhausted, where would they have the ability to continue the battle for a few more hours?
Therefore, almost all tanks turned off the infrared headlights of the commander and gun commander, and only the driver's infrared headlights, which helped the driver to move in the dark night, and they only observed the road situation at a distance of about fifty or sixty meters in front of them, and did not notice the situation at all two hundred meters away from the side.
In this way, Idli's armored forces were attacked again. ≦≧
The two desert leopards easily approached a distance of two hundred meters and stopped abruptly, and then, the hatch behind them opened, and the two marines jumped down with agility.
Those are their prey!
What they carry, not an ordinary bazooka, otherwise, such a long guy, it is also very inconvenient in an infantry fighting vehicle, this is a foldable RPG-7A bazooka, which is equipment specially designed for special forces.
Using the infrared sights that come with the bazooka, observe the tanks that move in the same pattern, and then the bazooka rotates with their bodies, mentally calculating the amount of advance. In the end, they pulled the trigger.
The flashlight of the shuttle light brightened the dark night sky, and the rocket extended-range armor-piercing projectiles of the hollow charge warhead flew towards the unsuspecting tanks.
At this time, the armored troops, who were only concerned about the advance, did not find the rockets attacking from the side.
As soon as they finished their work, the Marines ran back to the infantry fighting vehicle, and as soon as they stepped into the tank, the driver increased the throttle and began to drive into the distance, running as far as possible, and running as fast as possible.
They did not observe the results of the battle, which were observed by other vehicles. ≦≧
The rocket accurately hit the side of the turret of the T-55, and then, the front warhead began to work, the so-called hollow charge warhead, that is, the charge was made into a hollow cylindrical column with a conical hole, and a metal cover was added to the surface of the conical hole, after the collision, the column exploded, and the metal that was close to the powder cover was quickly melted and closed, and the energy of the explosive was 'pressed' into a high-speed, high-temperature, high-pressure metal jet!
The crew of the T-55 tank only then felt the heat flow from the side, but unfortunately, they were no longer allowed to react, this shè flow with an initial velocity of 7000 meters per second and a high temperature of 1100 degrees, with a fairly high pressure, shè towards the cast turret, as if the mud under the high-pressure water cannon, the turret of the T-55, was burned through a hole from the side.
The armor-piercing thickness of the RPG-7 can reach 350 mm, while the thickest part of the T-55 tank turret is only 200 mm, and the side part, which is only 80 mm thick.
The metallic stream pierced through the turret like a bamboo, and then continued to move on.
Stepping on a mine, the tank is broken and unable to move forward, and the personnel inside are shocked, but they are still alive, but, if they are pierced by rockets, they will not have such good luck, and the members inside will be killed mercilessly by this shè stream, and if this shè stream hits the shells inside, it will cause secondary damage.
Four rockets were fired, three tanks were destroyed, and one shot missed the target.
This attack completely shocked the entire armored forces on the march.
Idley's body shook with the body of the car, and he got up again, and at this time, he heard a report on the radio that his side was attacked by unknown people on the side, and he lost three tanks!
The reason why I said unknown people was because when the other tanks discovered the situation, rotated the turret, and turned on the infrared headlights to search, the two infantry fighting vehicles were no longer visible in their search range.
The two infantry fighting vehicles were already out of their search range at high speed.
After receiving the report, Idli knew that the situation was not good.
At night, it is very dangerous if there is an enemy in ambush, and it is difficult for them to find the enemy who is very close to them, even during the day, and this is why the tank will accompany the infantry when charging.
If they still march at such high speeds, they are likely to be attacked by the other side again.
Who were the people who attacked them? If it is the people sent from the air base, they are all air force personnel, and there are few such skilled personnel who fight on the ground, does Manav have a new helping hand?
"Attention, there are missiles flying from the side." At this moment, the commander of another tank, who urgently spotted a missile, fired it on his side.
However, he did not see where the missile was flying from.
After successfully taking out a few tanks with a bazooka, Hades used anti-tank missiles again, but this time to scare them.
Anti-tank missiles, the hit rate at night is surprisingly low, however, it is okay to posture.
"Quick, full speed ahead." The commander immediately ordered, and the commander saw it.
The driver pressed the accelerator to the bottom, and the tank, which was more than thirty tons, began to accelerate, and, at the same time, steered.
Finally, the missile flew out a few meters away from them.
Hit by an anti-tank missile, their fate, will be very tragic.
"Attention, advance in battle sequence, open the offensive side, and the tank companies on both flanks protect the security of the flanks." Idley had no choice but to change tactics.
In order to advance quickly, he used the marching state of the most vulnerable long snake, but now, he can't be careless anymore, and he has to enter the attack state in advance, but in this way of marching, the speed will be reduced.
Seeing the shape of those points of light redistributed, Hades was very satisfied: "We need to continue to sāo disturb them!" ”
Ten infantry fighting vehicles, on the periphery of dozens of tanks, but like wolves attacking a flock of sheep, such a bold action, only Hades dared to do it! rq
