Chapter 269: Chaos
"Attention cars, the enemy didn't notice us at all, so don't be in a hurry, aim slowly, and be sure to hit with one hit!"
In the honey badger's fighting room, Lieutenant Haman Yander from the South African Panzer Corps bared half of his body outside the turret, and said to his cobbled men as he watched the enemy armoured units passing in front of him.
The crew members of the six Honey Badger armored vehicles under Yandel were all assembled from the crews that had lost their tanks, so although the crews may not be very coordinated with each other, there were no problems in operation, not to mention that many of them had known each other before.
At this moment, the Cuban armored troops are passing through the valley quickly, they are like the T-shaped horizontal, and Lieutenant Yandel's people are on that vertical, in addition, in front of the A squad that lured the enemy before, there are about two hundred mercenaries hiding behind the trenches and bunkers, they are equipped with a lot of recoilless guns and bazookas, but they are not the main force of the attack, the real killer is still on the way to come, they are just in front to prevent the enemy from jumping over the wall and charging brainlessly.
"Lieutenant Yandel, I'll leave it to you, my people will use your signals as a benchmark!"
"Thank you, Mr. Shepard, for giving me a chance to get my revenge!"
Touching the scars on his face, Lieutenant Yander seemed to feel the pain of that day again, his Centurion tank was destroyed by the T55 tank, and only one of the members of the car survived, he should have returned to the country to enjoy it as a combat hero, but seeing the grief of his comrades' families, in order to escape those eyes, he returned to the front line, because of this, he did not have the energy to think about those things.
After silently inhaling the cold wind in the valley, Yandel returned to the fighting room, at this moment the members of the whole car were ready for battle, the gunner was chewing gum while constantly correcting the artillery, in the absence of high-precision fire control, the hit of the tank all depends on the gunner, there are too many things to consider, zeroing, crosswind, distance, barrel calibration, medicine temperature, air temperature, target movement error, firing meter error.
Lieutenant Yandel was ready to fire at a distance of 1,500 meters, which was a bit reluctant for the 90 guns of the Honey Badger, but for safety reasons, he still decided to fire at this distance, because if he missed, he would fire a few more shots, but if the enemy discovered his position and caused losses, it would be worth the loss!
"Car One, Car No. 2, you are in charge of the first tank, No. 3 and I are in charge of the second, No. 4 and No. 5 are in charge of the third, understand?"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Yang Del immediately leaned silently in front of the car length mirror, and when the other party entered the preset shooting position, he immediately shouted.
"Fire!"
Then, the Honey Badger armored vehicles, lined up on the hillside, began to roar.
"Shit, are you all blind?"
Lieutenant Yandel was full of joy, thinking that he could get a few shots of six shots, but the reality backfired, and all six rounds of heat ammunition were inaccurate, and none of them hit.
"Hurry up and fix it, the enemy may find us at any time!"
At this moment, Yandel's palms were all sweating, because once the target was exposed, his men had no chance of surviving in front of dozens of tanks, so they had to inflict as much damage on the enemy as possible before they were discovered.
Fortunately, at this moment, the mortar squad in the rear position has made a great contribution, and six 120-mm mortars are being calibrated by the front-line artillery instructors, smashing 120-mm high-explosive shells into the Cuban tank group, and the explosion has caused a certain degree of confusion in the Cuban tank troops, because of the threat of shrapnel, the commanders do not dare to show their bodies to observe the enemy's situation, and can only rely on the observation and sighting equipment in the car to see, but the field of view of the observation equipment is limited, so the Cuban armored forces did not notice the Honey Badger armored car in the distance at all.
After a full half minute of waiting, Yandel's troops began firing again, this time in order to hit, he decided to attack one vehicle with three vehicles, but the result was still disappointing, and the six shells were missed again, but the good news was that the enemy still did not see them.
"Attention, attack the first car!"
Yander shouted angrily, if he sat in the original centurion, then he was very confident that he would have at least one shot, but he
Now he is only operating a fire support vehicle that has been modified from an armored vehicle, so he can only pray silently, hoping that his subordinates will give him a long face.
After correcting the calibration again, the Honey Badgers fired again, this time closing the distance between them and the enemy to 1200 meters, a little closer than before, so it was slightly easier to aim.
After feeling the shock of the car's hull, Yandel simply went straight out of the fighting room to observe the enemy situation with a telescope, and then he saw a metal spark exploding in the ranks of Cuban armored troops in the distance. Look at the book
"Hit!"
"That's a ricochet, and it's the third tank that gets shot, keep loading!"
At this moment, the Cuban armored troops finally discovered that someone was using anti-tank fire to attack them, but because of the shelling, they had no idea what direction the attack was coming from, so when one of the overly nervous gunners opened fire in the direction where Team A fled, the other tanks also thought that the enemy was in that direction and began to fire freely.
"Don't panic, there are not many enemies, we have a numerical advantage, press them in one go!"
"They don't know where we are, keep firing! All crews are free to fire!"
Youngder's squad then began firing freely, and the Honey Badger armored vehicles could carry 53 shells, and they carried HEAT and HE ammunition in a 6 to 4 ratio, with enough ammunition for each vehicle to fight.
Subsequently, the 7th round of fire from the No. 1 car finally hit a T55 tank, the shell entered from the rear of the tank, and the jet sliced through the turret while blasting away the storage box behind the turret, although there were no casualties, but the turret steering machine of the tank was damaged, and the turret was stuck and could not turn.
Then, when the second car fired the ninth shell, it flew the guide wheel of the T55 tank that rushed to the front of the line, and broke the track, and then the tank lost control and stopped, causing the friendly troops in the rear to crash headlong, and both vehicles could not move.
Seizing this opportunity, the six Honey Badgers immediately began to gather fire, and after firing 7 HEAT ammunition and 5 HE ammunition at each other, one of the T55 began to catch fire, while the other vehicle was also hit multiple times and could not move.
"Damn, where the hell is the enemy?"
Because of the terrain, even if three vehicles were hit, the Cuban armored forces were still unsure of what was attacking them, or even the direction of the attack.
