Chapter 65 Anti-Tank Missiles (4)

Just when we thought we were winning, the tank of the Yue Devil suddenly moved.

This is undoubtedly a very good solution, as I said before...... The Dragon anti-tank missile is difficult to hit moving targets because of its relatively modern and backward guidance methods. The 5th Infantry Division of the Vietnamese Army, of course, would have known this, so it immediately responded to this shortcoming.

As I saw in my binoculars, the Vietnamese tanks moved purely for the sake of moving...... I could clearly see them in my binoculars driving back and forth at the foot of the mountain, and they did not dare to go too far, because as soon as they came out, they would enter the range of our artillery fire.

There is no doubt about it...... At this time, the main offensive firepower of the Vietnamese army was tanks, and even if I exchanged a tank with hundreds of shells, I would order to open fire without frowning. Of course, the Vietnamese army also understands this, so naturally it will not give us this opportunity easily.

This trick of the Vietnamese army seemed to work very well, and the next few missiles we fired failed to hit...... YOU MUST KNOW THAT ALTHOUGH THE DRAGON MISSILE HAS STRONG ARMOR CAPABILITIES (ITS ARMOR-PIERCING THICKNESS IS SAID TO REACH 500MM, AND THE THICKEST FRONTAL ARMOR OF THE T62 IS ONLY 220MM), ITS FLIGHT SPEED IS NOT FAST, ONLY 127 METERS PER SECOND, IN OTHER WORDS...... When we fired the missile, the Vietnamese army had at least seven or eight seconds to determine which tank the missile was targeting, and then make some targeted evasive actions.

Just as the Viet Devils are doing now, their tank commander pulled his head out of the turret and looked through a telescope...... A long exhaust line is visible from a distance when the missile is fired, and the commander can quickly determine the target of the missile attack from the direction of the exhaust gas, so he can direct the tank to react by radio.

These are long to say. But it doesn't take seven or eight seconds to do it...... The Vietnamese tankers are also veterans of long-term battles. When they were warned, they drove the tank fast and slowly. Or hide behind the rocks or make a sharp bend...... As a result, none of the five anti-tank missiles we fired missed.

"Stop!" I shouted at Marx from a distance of more than ten meters: "Wait until the tank stops and then fight!" ”

One thing is obvious...... The devils are trying to lure us into finishing up the missiles. What can they do if we don't hit missiles? Is it always on like this?

"How many missiles are left?" I asked.

"Report to the company commander!" Marx said with some concern: "There are still five rounds!" ”

"Three platoon commanders!" I yelled into the intercom: "How long will it take to dig up the ammunition depot?" ”

"Report to the company commander!" Liang Lianbing replied: "Because the passage is narrow, we can't use our manpower, and it may take half an hour!" ”

"Half an hour?!" I said angrily, "Speed up for me, and dig it in twenty minutes anyway!" ”

"Yes!" The soldiers of Liang Company responded and quickly ordered his subordinates to continue their work.

In fact, I know in my heart that this can't be blamed on the Liang Lian soldiers, and there have been several dangerous situations in Scar's hilltop position...... The Vietnamese army in the south also attacked the hilltop position very fiercely, and several times the Vietnamese army rushed up, but only the reserve of Liang Company was transferred to fight back.

So, on the one hand, they have to be ready to fight at any time. On the other hand, the ammunition depot has to be dug under the rain of bullets...... It's no wonder it's not slow.

But I can't force him to do it, you must know that our current ammunition consumption is amazing, although the soldiers have carried out some ammunition before, but whether they can last half an hour is really unknown.

But one thing is certain: anti-tank missiles are not so quickly replenished.

Five missiles, while the Yue devils still have eight tanks......

"Marx!" I ordered: "The target is two T62s...... Do you understand? Five missiles only need to knock out two T62s to be considered a victory, understand? If you could, it would be better to get rid of that T54 too! ”

As for the other American tanks, they couldn't make much of a storm.

"Understood!" Marx answered, and then said with some concern: "Company commander...... If the tank stays on like this...... We can't tell! ”

"There's always a time to stop!" I said: "The elevation angle of the Yue devil tank is not high, and it must be driven up an inclined plane to hit our position...... That's when you start! ”

"Understood!" Marx answered.

This reason is actually very simple, what is the purpose of the Vietnamese army's use of tanks? It was to provide fire cover for the Vietnamese infantry. What if they were so purposeless the whole time...... It's the same as having a tank, so there's always a time to stop and aim!

As it turned out, I was right. The Vietnamese army saw that we no longer fired missiles at them...... It was quick to slow down, and soon two tanks were up the slope again and aimed their guns at us......

"Steady!" I shouted at Marx and others: "This is not our goal...... No fire! ”

This was obviously a decoy deliberately thrown by the Vietnamese army...... These two are American light tanks with little firepower, and the Vietnamese army is testing us to see if we still have anti-tank missiles, so firing at this time will undoubtedly fool them.

"Boom!" The two M41s soon opened fire on our positions in a very arrogant manner, but the more they moved, the more it seemed to prove their ulterior motives, as if we were afraid that we would not be able to see them.

They tossed around for a while without seeing any movement from us, so the other tanks were relieved...... They may have thought that the lure just now had already caused these inexperienced Chinese soldiers to finish shooting up the missiles, so they drove up the slope one after another.

"Marx!" I ordered several artillery observers: "For every two missiles responsible for one T62, keep one spare...... You can aim at the T54 first and listen to my orders before you act, understand? ”

"Understood!" Marx was also a smart man, he assigned the task right away, and he himself was ready with a missile.

......When the Vietnamese tank fired its first shot, I did not give the order to open fire.

Because I know that the Vietnamese riders at this time are only afraid that they are ready to avoid bullets at any time...... The position of the Vietnamese tanks is an inclined plane, and if they immediately reverse when they find a missile attack, it is still very likely that they will hide in the blind spot of the missile.

Only a little more than a hundred meters per second...... This is definitely the weakness of the Dragon anti-tank missile, but then again, if the flight speed is too fast, then the shooter will not be in a hurry to correct the trajectory, right?

When the "Boom ......" tank fired the second fire, I still didn't give the order to fire.

This is almost our chance, if we fail to kill the two T62s of the Vietnamese army this time, it means that the Vietnamese army will most likely have a twenty-minute chance to attack us under the cover of T62 firepower......

Twenty minutes is enough for the Yue Devils to rush to the high ground and trample on our corpses.

Therefore, I was still waiting for the best time, although at this time the Vietnamese tank guns had successfully blown up several of our machine-gun fire points...... Later, I learned that there was actually a grenade launcher that was also blown away by the Yue devil at this time.

It is precisely because of this that the Vietnamese tankers are completely relieved...... At this time, they should be thinking that if the Chinese soldiers still have anti-tank missiles in their hands, it is impossible for them to let them bombard the fire one after another.

But they were wrong......

Almost at the same time as the Vietnamese tanks fired the third fire, I shouted at Marx and the others: "Do it!" ”

Several artillery observers, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately stood up from the trenches in different positions, showed the missile canisters, and then took aim for a while before pulling the trigger (the missile can be corrected when it flies towards the target, so it does not take much time to aim).

There's a reason why I chose to do it at this time.

First of all, of course, the vigilance of the Vietnamese tankers will be reduced at this time, and the second is that the Vietnamese gunners need time to reload just after firing the gun, and even if they find a target, they will not be able to fire back. What's more...... After these three shots, there will be a lot of smoke in front of the tank that will not dissipate...... Undoubtedly, this will make it impossible for their observers to detect the missiles flying towards them for the time being.

Of course, this is only temporary, as the missile gets closer and closer, they will eventually find out about its existence, and then it will be up to the Vietnamese army to see if it has the reaction speed......

Sure enough, two or three seconds after the missile flew out, I saw the Vietnamese tank in the telescope reacting...... It should be said that the Vietnamese tankers reacted quite quickly, because in the next few seconds, they still managed to determine that the target of these missiles was the T62, and then the two tanks quickly started reversing at full power......

But it was already too late, three out of four missiles hit, so two T62s quickly turned into a ball or two of fireballs.

Until this time...... Marx only then fired a missile in his hand.

What does this one missile do...... If there is still a T62 that has not been killed, then Marx will make up for it. Now that the T62 no longer exists, it naturally targets the remaining T54.

Perhaps because the explosions of the two T62s next to him were too shocking, or because the fire and smoke blocked the view of the tank commander, the T54 did not evade it from beginning to end, and just stayed in place and suffered the hard blow of the missile......

At this point, the tank units interspersed by the Vietnamese army were all wiped out, and all that was left was a few camouflaged American tanks.

For these tanks...... I haven't paid attention to them yet, I'm afraid that there are not many shells left in their cars! (To be continued......)
