"Brake!" The commander saw a puff of black smoke coming out of the muzzle of the tank on the opposite side in the circumferential monitor, and immediately shouted loudly, and at the same time, the other crew members who heard the commander's order clung to the handrail beside them.

"Squeak!" The huge tank came to a sudden stop, and everyone's bodies trembled, and at the same time, nervous expressions hung on their faces.

There is no sound of being hit! Got out of the way!

"Fire!" The commander shouted, a ball of fire came out of the muzzle of the Type 90 tank gun, the warhead of the armor-piercing projectile that broke away from the shell, spread its tail and flew forward at a speed of 1700 meters per second.

In the cluster of tanks opposite, puffs of black smoke suddenly appeared.

The Challenger 2 tank also has a special unique weapon, its engine exhaust pipe can be mixed with diesel fuel and turn into billowing black smoke, so that the laser rangefinder, which is the most important in the sighting equipment of the opposing tank unit, will not work properly, which is a means of cover.

A Challenger tank in front of it, suddenly the hull shook, an armor-piercing projectile, had already drilled into its turret, from the frontal main armor, drilled deeply, tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullet, pierced through the Challenger tank's Chobham armor, blazing heat flow, into the turret.

The tank crew inside was injured by the metal heat flow in the panic, and even looked at the metal heat flow, igniting the ammunition in the tail compartment.

"Boom!" Although the pressure relief plate in the aft compartment had been opened in time, it still could not prevent the tragedy of the explosion, and in the explosion, the entire turret was lifted off.

The battle of blood and fire is constantly staged, and the contest between armored forces is so bloody and cruel.

When the black smoke passed, the British armored forces found that their wings. A certain number of tanks have appeared again!

T-80 tanks with gas turbines, rushed up!

The fuel consumption of such tanks is very large, which is a great burden on logistics, but for the oil-producing countries of Kuwait and Iraq, this is not a problem.

It's different from the old Maozi before. This batch of T-80s is not a monkey version, it is the same as the model used by the Soviets, and, with the relationship of Shostakovich, a batch of artillery-launched missiles was also obtained!

The Iraqi army had been operating the T-72 for many years, and the control of the tank was quickly mastered, and now, in the hands of the 8th Armored Brigade, the most elite of the Hammurabi Division. These tanks were used to their fullest potential.

The rounded turret gives the illusion that this tank is the T-72 equipped by Iraq, and the fire control system of this tank is only high enough accuracy within a thousand meters.

Therefore, when these tank guns opened fire from 3,000 meters away, Colonel William did not realize the opponent's big killer.

Artillery missiles! At the beginning of the United States. I've also studied this thing, but it's too technically difficult. In the end, it was abandoned, and the Soviet Union, in order to make up for the shortcomings in the power of tank guns, especially in range, developed this missile launched with tank guns!

9M119 "Reed Flute". NATO, codenamed AT-11 "Striker", is the latest Soviet artillery missile, guided by a laser mount, and at this time, the driver in the tank is constantly aiming the laser at the tank in front. No matter what maneuver the opponent does, as long as you press the opponent with the crosshairs, you will win steadily!

The T-80 tanks that appeared on both sides fired the first salvo of artillery missiles almost simultaneously, and since they appeared on the side of the British, they were aiming at the side of the maximum projection area of the Challenger tank, and the armor on the side of the opponent could not be as thick as the head.

A dozen seconds later, the 9M119 missile made close contact with the Challenger tank, and the tandem warhead easily penetrated the side armor of the Challenger, killing all the crew with a powerful metal jet inside the tank.

This artillery-launched missile, with an armor-piercing capacity of up to 900 mm, is difficult to resist even the American M1A2 tanks with depleted uranium armor. Moreover, it can also deal with helicopter gunships.

Listening to the cries of the two wings, one by one the main battle tanks were taken out, and Colonel William knew that he had fallen into a trap.

"Retreat, retreat immediately!" Colonel William shouted.

Tank showdown! What age is this! There was also a tank battle! It is not your own tanks that are used against enemy tanks, but helicopter gunships! It's an attack aircraft in the sky!

Colonel William's confidence was gone, and now he needed to retire and call in air support.

Having received the order to retreat, the entire armored brigade left dozens of blown tanks and began to retreat, and in order to quickly retreat, they did not turn, directly hung in reverse gear, and began to quickly reverse backwards.

The Challenger 2 tank, with two reverse gears, allows you to get the maximum reverse speed when reversing in the field.

Armored Ali was in the commander's circumferential scope, looking at the tanks of the retreating British, with disdain on his face, before the British set off from the UK, they said so awesomely, what day to set foot on Kuwait City? What now? Didn't you get out of the way by killing yourself?

Want to run? It's not that easy! Ali led his own armored brigade and pounced fiercely, fighting with the British armored troops.

Twenty minutes later, a rumbling sound sounded in the distant sky.

The air superiority of the coalition forces, again came into play! Just when the elite Hammurabi division in Iraq's Republican Guard was chasing the British and beating behind the buttocks, A-10 attack planes full of Maverick air-to-ground missiles came to the sky over the battlefield, and their arrival put a lot of pressure on the Iraqi armored forces on the ground.

Accompanied by the self-propelled anti-aircraft guns of the armored units, they immediately fired into the sky, and at the same time, the other armored forces, disengaged, quickly retreated back.

In modern warfare, without air supremacy, there is nothing, in fact, even in World War II, in the North African theater, the desert fox Rommel's armored forces suffered heavy losses because of air strikes.

These sturdy ground attack planes saved the British 1st Armored Division, and just as they were about to expand their gains, a huge sandstorm suddenly came.

The sky was obscured, and the dust was rolling down there, and nothing could be seen clearly. In desert areas, this is the most common sandstorm.

At this time, this sudden sandstorm saved the armored troops of Hammuraby's division, and they quickly evacuated in the sandstorm, and the attack aircraft overhead could not see anything clearly, and even because of the sandstorm, two planes crashed.

By the time the sandstorm had passed, Hammuraby's division had run away.

In the Gulf War in history, the Hammurabi division fought a decisive battle with three divisions of the US Seventh Army, and finally tore open a hole and escaped, and more than 800 tanks and more than 1,000 armored vehicles fled back to Iraq from under the noses of the Americans to continue to defend Saddam's regime.

The battle against Kuwait was far from being as simple as General Schwarzkopf thought, and now, the 101st Air Assault Division was still engaged in street fighting with the defenders in Kuwait City, and the armored troops that continued to reinforce were blocked or delayed by sandstorms, and the original plan to recover Kuwait City in half a night was completely frustrated.

"Our army is bleeding and dying, where are the Arab coalition forces?" General Schwarzkopf roared in the headquarters, this battle was too bad, especially as soon as the war began, it was abandoned by ballistic missiles and an armored regiment, and he felt that it was difficult for him to explain himself to the country.

You can't let the American and British armies bleed, and the Arab coalition forces are on the side, right? Remembering the arrangement at that time, General Schwarzkopf felt very inappropriate.

In particular, Pakistan's armored forces, which are the most powerful in combat, were originally intended to let them attack Kuwait City, but due to President Bush's opposition, the tasks of the Eighteenth Army were reversed, and this armored force was supposed to break through from Iraq to the banks of the Euphrates River in Iraq, control Highway 8 east of Semavo to Baghdad, isolate Iraqi troops in Kuwait, and cooperate with the Seventh Army to annihilate the Iraqi Republican Guard.

According to the strong fighting power of the Pakistani army, they should have reached the vicinity of Route 8 a few hours ago!

"In order to avoid being attacked by Iraqi Scud missiles, they changed the course of their operations, and now, there are still 200 kilometers left on Highway 8." Said the staff officer in charge.

Changed the course of action! It is inconceivable that the armored regiment was accurately hit by the enemy's ballistic missiles, and it is obvious that the course of action of its own side was leaked, which the General Staff did not consider when formulating the course of action, and the accuracy of Iraq's ballistic missiles was too high, resulting in a large number of casualties.

So, after discovering this, the command urgently issued an order to the troops below to change their actions, and as a result, this armored division of Pakistan was also going too slowly, right? Like a snail crawling, it is getting dark outside, and this is still 200 kilometers away from the intended destination! I'm afraid that after dawn tomorrow, we will not be able to achieve the established strategic goals!

"Rush them now, speed up!" General Schwarzkopf said.

"They are now waiting for fuel refills in the desert area, and they have also asked us for an airdrop of fuel." The staff officer said.

This bunch of guys! General Schwarzkopf couldn't help frowning, with the strong logistics support capability of the American army, it has just been able to ensure the fuel supply of its own armored forces, and the M1A1 tank uses gas turbines, and the fuel consumption is quite large, and when necessary, they also have to airdrop fuel supplies through transport aircraft.
