Chapter 25: Ambush (3)
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the tank at the front was blown up by an anti-tank mine.
The battle began the moment the explosion sounded, and the fighters immediately pulled the trigger and fired rows of bullets at the convoy in the middle of the road...... Assault rifles, light and heavy machine guns, bazookas, ...... All of them spat flames at Soviet armored vehicles and tanks.
Our soldiers have long been aiming at the target because they are lurking on both sides of the road, and they have a condescending geographical advantage, plus the equipment of our army is all automatic weapons...... Even the Afghan guerrillas were equipped with Ak47s, so the bullets flew towards the Soviet army like raindrops, only to make the Soviet army scream and have no power to fight back.
The only remaining tank of the Soviet army wanted to rush over...... This choice is certainly correct, although it is an advanced T72 tank...... However, the armor on the sides, rear, or top of any tank is relatively thin, as the tank mostly uses frontal armor to face the enemy. So...... There's only one way for it to stay here...... That is, it was destroyed by our bazookas or mortars.
On the other hand...... At this time, the road was blocked by the first bombed tank...... If the only remaining tank does not escape, it will soon block the entire armored convoy on the road.
So the commander of this tank reacted fairly quickly...... Make the right decision the first time.
It's a pity that ...... We have been prepared for this for a long time...... Joke! Our goal is to keep these convoys clogged here...... If you let them escape, it's okay!
So the tank hasn't gone far...... There was a loud bang...... This is a directional explosive, and this tank died worse than the first one, and the first one was just a little smoke and couldn't move. This one was blown into a fireball...... It is assumed that the explosive pack blew through the bottom of the tank, which directly caused the internal shells to detonate...... This is the same regardless of whether it is an advanced tank or a backward tank. No one can make the bottom armor thicker.
So the wreckage of the two tanks blocked the intersection...... A few armored vehicles that were still trying to escape for their lives just drove up, and when they saw this situation, they had to stop helplessly.
On the other side...... The same thing is happening on the other side of the road that I can't see...... After a few directional explosives blew up the enemy's armored vehicles, they easily blocked their retreat.
This terrain was deliberately chosen by me...... The road made a ninety-degree turn in the middle of the road where we ambushed...... This divided the Soviet army into two sections from the middle. They are unable to echo each other and support each other.
As a result, armored vehicles exploded under the bazookas and mortars of our army, and patches of Soviet troops screamed and were blown into the air and fell down heavily......
But the Soviet army is the Soviet army...... They didn't have much actual combat experience but they were well trained, so they quickly organized a counterattack after a few minutes of confusion...... From this point of view, the quality of the Soviet Union is quite good, because our army is fully prepared for this ambush, a sniper platoon is distributed on the entire front and tightly controls the entire battlefield, and they are specially responsible for sniping and killing important targets of the Soviet army...... For example, an officer, a communicator, a sniper, etc.
In other words, we have been attacking their command and communication systems from the very beginning...... But even so, the Soviets organized an effective defense.
The first is that the machine gun on the turret of the armored car was quickly fired...... It's just that this doesn't put much pressure on us, because the elevation angle of the machine gun of the armored car is only 30 degrees......
This is also something we are familiar with...... If this armored car is on flat ground, it is a killing machine. Running fast and firepower...... There were not only anti-aircraft machine guns on the turrets, but also perforations for the infantry on the sides...... But if it's trapped in this valley, all its weaknesses are exposed...... The elevation angle of the machine gun is too small to hit high, let alone the perforation, and it can almost only be hit parallel or lower.
Targeting these weaknesses of theirs...... Therefore, the positions of the fighters in ambush are above the range of the armored vehicle turret...... Not too much, not too little, just a few meters above its range...... Almost all fighters in our troops measure coordinates, so this is not a big deal for us at all.
We only learned after the war...... The machine gunners of the Soviet army were so angry at this point that their lungs exploded, they could clearly see each other, and the firepower of the anti-aircraft machine guns in their hands was also very powerful...... But it's just a few meters away and you can't hit it!
The second was the Soviet troops in cars. At this time, those who did not die had already jumped out of the car...... Some of them climbed under the car to cover the wheels, while others dispersed to provide fire cover for armored vehicles...... They are well aware. At this time, the most dangerous thing is the armored car, the reason is that the armored car is "thin and stuffy", and the most lethal thing is that its hatch is still facing the side directly facing our fire.
These Soviet troops are still a little troublesome for us...... The reason is that there are many of them, and the weapons in their hands are still relatively advanced AK74......
Although our equipment is no worse than that of the Soviets, the problem is that we have to end the fighting quickly...... Otherwise, the Soviet army will soon have other reinforcements coming one after another, let alone fighting a war of annihilation, I am afraid that even we will have to catch it.
This requires that we not allow Soviet troops in armored vehicles to get out...... Otherwise, this battle is likely to turn into a stalemate!
So I immediately ordered the walkie-talkie: "Machine gunners block the armored car...... Snipers and others crushed the Soviet fire cover and ended the battle in ten minutes! ”
"Yes!" The soldiers answered, and immediately blocked their targets according to my orders.
At this time, the firepower of our army should be said to be smaller than before...... Because both light and heavy machine guns are used to block armored vehicles, the hatches of armored vehicles are not opened and light machine guns are not fired...... The bullets of the light machine gun are the same as the bullets of the assault rifle and cannot penetrate the armor of the armored vehicle, so the fight is in vain.
So the Soviet troops in the armored car thought that the fire cover outside was useful, and they couldn't wait to open the hatch and jump out...... In fact, they can't be blamed for being in such a hurry, a heavy machine gun is still sweeping at the armored vehicle and the bazooka...... If they don't run, they'll be waiting to die inside!
But running is not much better...... Because as soon as the hatch was opened, our army's light machine guns spewed tongues of fire into the inside, and the few Soviet soldiers who had just escaped were beaten to a bloody blur on the spot...... was only frightened and the rest of the Soviet troops shrank back with a scream...... However, it was also useless to retract, the bullets from the heavy machine gun came again, and after a "sonorous" sound, there were more bullet holes in the armored car, and then a pool of blood flowed out of the hatch......
So the light and heavy machine guns worked together to destroy those armored vehicles one after another...... I only pity the infantry hiding there, they can't rush out, and they can't save their lives when they hide inside...... So they are like targets waiting for us to come and harvest.
I have to admit it...... Some of these armored car drivers are still very smart, they know that at this time they cannot put the hatch directly at the enemy's fire, plus there is no way back in front of them...... So just slam on the accelerator and put the armored car in the middle of the road.
This will not stop our bullets...... But at least the orientation of the hatch has been changed, and there are even drivers who are so good as to drive the armored car to a place where the hatch is just covered, such as an armored car parked next to a one-man high rock...... The stone was just a cover for the infantry to get out of the car.
Fortunately, there are not many savvy drivers like this, and there are only two or three in the entire battlefield...... Otherwise, we may not be able to eat this time.
That's where mortars come into play...... With the order of King Chuang, a few mortar shells quickly blew up the armored vehicles and the Soviet troops who had just gotten off the car and had not yet gained a foothold.
Take a look at the watch...... It had been almost ten minutes before I shouted, "Grenade!" ”
The grenade I'm calling is more than just a grenade...... Rather, it means to charge after throwing grenades, which I have long had a tacit understanding with the soldiers, so as soon as I heard this order, I set fire to the grenades, explosives packs, or blasters and threw them down...... The mortars also followed with a burst of fire at this time!
Soon there was a commotion below the valley...... The echo of the explosion was like ringing a bell after a bell.
After the explosion, there was a burst of "Rush! Shouting...... The fighters were already charging down at the Soviets with their guns in hand!
In fact...... The charge was a desperate move at this time......
Our purpose in this battle is only to inflict a large number of casualties on the Soviet army, so ...... Originally, we could have retreated at this time!
But the problem is that our army is divided into two sides to attack the Soviet army...... If it is not divided into two sides, then the Soviet army can completely retreat to the other side and defend the danger, and we will not be able to inflict many casualties on it at all.
The two-sided problem is...... The warriors on the other side had to cross the road if they wanted to retreat, which was the battlefield...... This makes us have to charge!
But as I expected...... This charge was not very difficult, because the Soviet army had already been beaten by us, coupled with the fierce bombing just now, and then there were shouts of killing in all directions...... Only scared the remnants of the Soviet army into despair, and there were not many liliang who fought back at all!
Of course, we didn't have a love affair either...... The two troops rushed down and fought indiscriminately...... Some of the fighters quickly snatched some bullets from the corpses of the Soviets and retreated into the mountains! (To be continued......)
