Although Charlie's detachment, which was dropped by helicopter to the rear of the forest, did not fight all night like friendly troops, the two sides were actually comparable in terms of fatigue, because they had to ambush armored troops in the plains, which would have to be well camouflaged and covered.

Although the T55 tank equipped by the Cuban Volunteers is already an old car in terms of production age, it is still at the level of the middle and upper classes in terms of combat effectiveness, after all, there are too many things to talk about in modern tanks after the war!

Whether it is armor, artillery, fire control, power, these systems require a lot of resources to develop, to research, and there are not many countries that can play with these things, so although the Soviet Union has developed equipment such as the T72 tank, the T55 tank also continues to serve in the army, because as far as the current situation is concerned, the performance of the T55 tank is enough to support it to continue fighting.

And in Africa, the T55 tank is already an out-and-out advanced equipment, after all, what are African countries using, like South Africa they are still using the Centurion, this car is older than the T55, and more countries, they don't even have tanks!

Therefore, relying on the advantages of simple structure, easy operation, low cost, good armor, easy use and maintenance, the T55 tank is still in service with the armies of many countries until the 21st century, and in Angola, the deterrent power of the T55 tank is even like the German King Tiger tank in World War II, which is thousands of times more powerful than the classic car T3485!

The 100mm rifled gun used by the T55 tank has a maximum range of 16k, and the type of ammunition that can be fired is not the 85mm gun, although generally speaking, the tank crew is at a distance of about two kilometers, after all, the magnification of the gun mirror is also limited.

Therefore, ambushing the T55 tank is not as simple as ambushing the T3485, it is necessary to attack the tank's vital position and kill the enemy with one shot, which is why they carry Tao anti-tank missiles.

Tao anti-tank missile is a wire-controlled anti-tank missile, when launched, it will also have a wire at the tail to control the flight attitude of the missile, the shooter must always aim at the target when operating the missile to attack the target, so that the wire can provide correction to the missile's flight data, so that it can maintain its direction until it hits the target.

Its effective range is about 3,000 meters, but in general, the operator does not use it at a position of 3,000 meters, and most of the operating examples of Tao anti-tank missiles are around 1,200 meters to 1,500 meters.

Because the missile launch type will cause collateral damage in the front and rear directions, so these Tao anti-tank missiles will not be lined up in a row like a game, the commander of the detachment arranged the four 51 launchers 100 meters apart, and each firing position dug a little distance downward, because the launch frame of the Tao anti-tank missile is relatively high, and the shooter generally has to operate in a squatting position.

In this regard, Shepard actually likes the Soviet Cornet anti-tank missile, because in terms of the safety of the operator, it is better to have a cornet, the operator does not need to show too much body, and can operate it half-lying behind the launch bracket, while the Tao anti-tank missile is like operating an anti-aircraft gun, you have to be about the same height as the missile mount, so when the enemy can see the Taumu missile's bracket, he can also see the personnel operating on the side.

However, under normal circumstances, everyone who launches missiles will not be stupid to find a place to shoot a random one, they will find a good firing position, and carry out some repairs, and all the personnel of Charlie's detachment were busy until the morning, they not only dug trenches connecting the firing positions, but also made a canopy for the firing positions with camouflage nets, in addition to temporary shelters made of weeds.

In addition to the carefully selected positions, the shooters who operate the missiles are also carefully selected, and those who have practical experience in the past are preferred, and they also conducted target shooting exercises in the training camp, with an average of two live ammunition fired by each of them, which is why they only carried 12 missiles.

Because the inventory is not much, the fifty missiles except for the twenty rounds of practice, the rest can be used for combat, that is, thirty rounds, considering the possible follow-up situation, Shepard did not take out all these missiles at once, after all, except for the guide

In addition to bullets, they have other effective weapons. Z.br>

For example, the 90 mm guns loaded on the A90 armored car, and those 0 anti-tank guns, these can also be used, it's just a matter of whether they are good to use!

After finishing their work in the morning, Charlie's detachment was in a state of recuperation, and everyone except the sentry was huddled in bunkers until noon.

The sentinels who were on guard duty several kilometers away directly shouted a warning on the radio, and then all members of Charlie's detachment entered the combat position, and at this moment, those who were expected to have telescopes took binoculars, and those who did not have telescopes used rifle sights, and everyone turned their eyes to the east.

At the end of the road, with the slight tremor of the earth and the sound of the distinctive tracks running over the ground, a behemoth slowly appeared at the end of the road.

The Cuban tank had been painted in an earthy yellow desert camouflage color, and some tracks and sandbags were strapped around the turret, apparently the crew had added protection to the tank themselves, and behind the anti-aircraft machine gun on the right side of the turret, a man in a fur hat was still vigilantly observing the surrounding situation, and the tank first stopped at the intersection for a few minutes before resuming its marching state.

And behind it, there were ten tanks and four trucks, these big guys were more than twenty meters apart, lined up in a huge long line, squirming in the direction of Kado little by little.

"One, two, three...... Eight, nine, ten! Ten tanks, one armored company!"

Although the size of the enemy was already stated in intelligence, the detachment commander reconfirmed it.

"Attention all firing positions, take your hands off the missiles, they are not yet in the best firing range, don't worry, we have twelve missiles, they are only ten vehicles, enough for everyone!"

The commander of Charlie's detachment was also pounding at the moment, but he still managed to control his situation well, and then let his men relax.

"Everyone, pay attention, the missile attack vehicle is prioritized, keep in mind the training process, this is not difficult for you, just treat them as targets, keep a normal mind, today, it depends on your performance!"
