2139 Assault on the top

The BZ-99 infantry fighting vehicle, after being equipped with anti-tank missiles, also has a very strong lethality against enemy fortifications, which undoubtedly broadens the scope of use of the BZ-99 infantry fighting vehicle.

After one of the British Challenger main battle tanks was destroyed, the BZ-99 infantry fighting vehicles continued to fire missiles, and three Challenger main battle tanks were destroyed one after another, and the British tank commander hurriedly ordered to turn the gun muzzle and attack the BZ-99 infantry fighting vehicle cluster.

The British tank turned its guns to the BZ-99 infantry fighting vehicle cluster, and exposed the sides to the TK-96 main battle tank, the thickness of the armor in each part of the tank was not exactly the same, the armor thickness varied greatly, the frontal armor was the thickest, and the other positions were weaker.

Xu Jin saw that the British army's Challenger main battle tank gave up the side to him, and suddenly realized in his heart that the opportunity had come! Xu Jin decisively ordered: "All units - attack!" ”

The TK-96 main battle tank cluster opened fire one after another, the shells flew straight over, several Challenger main battle tanks were shot in the side, directly penetrated by the armor-piercing projectile, the core component of China's armor-piercing bullet is made of tungsten uranium alloy, the uranium in the tungsten uranium alloy is depleted uranium with a low enrichment range, and depleted uranium has a very interesting feature - self-sharpening phenomenon.

This phenomenon is simply that the head will automatically become sharp at high temperatures, which is beneficial to armor-piercing, because the armor-piercing part is easier to penetrate the opponent's armor in a sharp state, and a huge amount of heat will be emitted during the collision between the armor-piercing projectile and the armor, which is enough to make the armor-piercing projectile produce a "self-sharpening phenomenon".

The armor-piercing projectile that constantly "sharpened" penetrated the side armor of the Challenger main battle tank, and behind the side armor was the additional fuel tank, and the high temperature directly ignited the fuel tank, because the challenger main battle tank lacked fire extinguishing and explosion suppression devices, so the explosion occurred inside the Challenger main battle tank, and the first thing that was killed was the commander and gun commander in the turret, as well as the loader, because the British tank was not equipped with an automatic loader like the TK-96 main battle tank, so the tank needed a loader who was specifically responsible for loading shells.

After the commander, gunner, and loader were killed, the shock wave rushed through the compartment between the turret and the wheelhouse, sweeping across the driver, and the shock wave had weakened, so it didn't kill the driver, but just knocked him unconscious, and the Challenger main battle tank, which lost control, rushed out like a drunk strong man, and stopped after breaking a few small trees.

After twenty minutes of fighting, five of the nine Challenger main battle tanks were destroyed, and only four remained, just when Xu Jin was about to kill them in one go, there was a sudden smoke and dust in the distance, and a large group of tanks loomed in the smoke and dust, this group of tanks was about 200 meters between each two, and the frontal width was as high as more than ten kilometers, and Xu Jin couldn't see his head at a glance.

Xu Jin was shocked, thinking that this is the enemy's big army! We are just a few tanks, and we are definitely not their opponents, and at this moment, an order from my superiors suddenly came from the communicator: "A battalion, order your troops to retreat quickly!" ”

Xu Jin didn't ask much, and replied loudly: "Understood!" ”

Xu Jin adjusted the frequency and said, "Attention units, retreat immediately!" ”

The BZ-99 infantry fighting vehicle and TK-96 main battle tank cluster then turned around and retreated, and in the process of retreating, an armor-piercing projectile fired by a Challenger main battle tank hit the turret of a BZ-99 infantry fighting vehicle, but the BZ-99 infantry fighting vehicle was covered with explosive reactive armor all over its body, so the metal jet of the armor-piercing shell did not cause damage to the BZ-99 infantry fighting vehicle.

Xu Jin led his subordinates to retreat, and the armored units of the entire 1st Amphibious Division were also retreating, and the British scouts who were conducting reconnaissance in light armored vehicles keenly noticed this and immediately reported it to the command.

This large-scale sortie of the British army was personally commanded by Osam, and he was very excited to hear the news of the retreat of the Chinese tank troops, and at this time he had not received the news that the Challenger main battle tank was beaten by the BZ-99 infantry fighting vehicle, and he thought that it was the Chinese tank troops that knew that they were not opponents, so they fled.

Osam turned to George? Curzon smiled and said, "Your Excellency, they've fled!" ”

George? Curzon frowned and asked, "How did they escape?" There was never a time when the Chinese army fled. ”

Osam said firmly: "Their main artillery chariots can't penetrate our main artillery chariots, so they have no choice but to escape!" ”

George? Curzon's face was full of depth, and he frowned and said, "The Chinese shouldn't be playing tricks to lure the enemy deeper!" The Chinese have used this trick many times. ”

Osamlang laughed and said, "Your Excellency the Governor, they don't have that capital this time. ”

George? Curzon nodded lightly, still not daring to relax in his heart, and at this moment, the British front commander suddenly sent a message: "Report to General Osam, the Chinese dispatched the air force to strike at us!" ”

Osam hurriedly said: "Don't we have self-propelled anti-aircraft guns? Knock out the Chinese fighters! After saying this, Osam's brows tightened, and he scolded in his heart: "It's the Air Force again!" Damn the Air Force! The Chinese are too tricky! ”

It turned out that Lin Yuan ordered the tank troops to retreat in order to give the air force a chance to annihilate the enemy forces, and he ordered the Beijing ship to dispatch four carrier-based ships to strike at the enemy's tank forces.

Carrier-based 1 has 11 external hardpoints, and when performing a ground strike mission, in addition to the two conformal fuel tank hardpoints on the back, the other nine external hardpoints can be mounted with ground-strike weapons, because the weapons and equipment of the Chinese Air Force have adopted a general standardized design, and the spacing between the external hardpoints of various air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground missiles, laser-guided bombs, and auxiliary fuel tanks is the same, and different weapons can be mounted on one hardpoint.

This time, the shipboard 1 mounted a 'ZS-4 laser indication pod' on the outer hardpoint of the auxiliary fuel tank in the belly, of which the '-4' represents the fourth batch of improved type, and Lin Yuan spent a lot of twists and turns when organizing experts to develop this kind of laser indication pod, and carried out four batches of improvements before the design was finalized.

The reason why Ship-based One wants to mount such a laser indication pod is because its radar cannot see moving tanks and vehicles under the condition of ground reconnaissance, and the only radar that can complete this function is millimeter-wave radar, and a new millimeter-wave radar is also being developed, which is expected to be applied to the "ZSJ-3 armed helicopter", which is also known as "Wuzhi-3".

As soon as the ship is equipped with this type of laser indication pod, it can use the pod to guide laser-guided bombs to attack the tank on the ground, "attack on the top" is the most feared attack method of the tank, because the top of the tank is the weakest, basically only a thin layer of armor, can not block the attack of the shell, the shell can easily enter the turret, or kill the crew, or detonate the ammunition inside the turret.
