Chapter 626: Pursuit

"Tsk, it's a miracle that these guys can drive tanks!"

"I've heard they have mercenaries, so it's no surprise that they've learned to fly tanks!"

"So what, what are the mercenaries taught, we were trained in the Soviet Union!"

At the forefront, the T55, which was responsible for detecting the enemy, had retreated to its own defensive line, and a total of six T55 tanks, lined up, were parked on a high ground.

Their guns were pointed in the direction that Chadian armoured units were approaching, and the commanders were digging out of the turrets to try to spot their targets earlier with their binoculars.

As the dust on the road in the distance fell, the ground shook, and soon a convoy of armored vehicles appeared on the side of the horizon.

"They're coming!"

The tank commanders of the Libyan armored forces had unconcealed excitement and fanaticism in their eyes, and instead of returning to the hull, they continued to poke their upper bodies out, and then ordered the crew to prepare for battle.

The loader was ordered to reload the gun with a tail stabilized armor-piercing projectile, which, upon hitting the target, released a metal armor-piercing jet that could be used against the Chadian army's miserty tanks.

After loading, the gunner immediately began to capture the target with the 2-22 scope, and after seeing the target, the gunner immediately pressed the button on the right side of the handle, and these T55 tanks were equipped with a KTD1 laser ranging instrument, which only needed to aim the crosshair at the target, and after a few seconds, the gunner would know the distance between the two sides.

He then began to fine-tune the muzzle orientation based on the opponent's movement speed and crosswind speed, as well as the turret angular velocity, until he was confident that he was aiming.

The Chadian tanks did not seem to have found themselves in the Libyans' ambush, and they remained in a rather scattered marching formation, with the commander and gunner chatting outside the turret, and the driver mostly showing his head.

It wasn't until a very bright tracer appeared, accompanied by a piercing wind whistle, and then a hapless 47 Barton tank, that the Chad reacted and they were attacked.

After being hit, the 47 Patton tank continued to move forward for more than ten meters according to inertia, and then stopped, and the shells of the T55 tank easily penetrated the armor of the 47, and the jet poured in from the head, directly killing the hapless driver, and then bounced and sputtered inside the body, killing the others along the way, and then, the jet also penetrated the power compartment and ignited the engine.

After a short pause, the tank emitted a thick smoke, which grew louder and louder, and finally turned into a gushing flame.

The attacked Chadian tankmen panicked back into the tanks and tried to observe the target through the periscope and periscope, but until two more tanks were destroyed, they still did not find the target, because the tanks had limited vision, coupled with the outdated equipment, and those tankmen were not proficient in operating skills.

Thus, just six T55 tanks knocked out four Chadian tanks in a minute and a half, and incidentally wounded one.

And as the distance closes, the Chadians finally see the Libyans on the high ground.

"Shoot back, shoot back!"

The Chadian tank crews shouted, and then the chaotic artillery fire flew out, because the caliber of these tank types is not uniform, so everyone fires different ammunition, T55 tanks are shelling armor-piercing shells, which are commonly known as APDS, which are the ammunition they captured.

The Italian-made OF40 tanks fired tail-stabilized armor-piercing shells, the same as those fired by the Libyans, while the French-made AX30 tanks fired special G-type armor-piercing shells unique to France.

It's just that no matter what kind of shells, under the rough aim of the Chadians, none of them hit the target, and not even the landing point of the shells was close to the Libyans!

Looking at the shells flying overhead, the Libyans, who were still poking their upper bodies out of the car, continued to fight back unhurriedly.

After losing more than a dozen tanks, the Chadians finally managed to close the distance to about a thousand meters, at which point they could finally effectively hit the Libyan tanks. Xiu Shu

After another round of fire, the Libyans lost two

tanks, had to choose to reverse and evacuate, and they did not forget to take the wounded and release a smoke screen to cover the battlefield before leaving.

The Chadian tankmen cheered and drove the tanks on, not stopping until they drove to the high ground.

"Those guys ran away!"

The Chadian tankers excitedly drilled out of the tanks, watching the Libyan tanks destroyed by them burning, their order was to carry out a counterattack along the road as much as they could, and now although they paid a rather tragic price, the Libyans who ran away still made the armored commander who had just taken office very excited.

However, his joy did not last long, because just a few minutes later, the mighty Libyan tank cluster with no end in sight was slaughtered again. Ь.

This time, the attackers and defenders rotated, but the performance of both sides did not change, and the Chadians rushed into the battle, but only the British Centurion tanks they were equipped with had two hits, and the guns of the other tanks still did not know where to go.

However, the Libyan tank maintained a good hit rate during the march, wounding two more Chadian tanks, and even the tank commander's car was hit by a ricochet.

Although the shell did not penetrate the tank, it made a terrible cut in the right side of the turret and damaged the tank's bezel, causing the turret to rotate.

At the moment, Chadian tanks have lost more than half, and the Libyans have not yet broken through double digits, and the exchange ratio between the two sides has reached an astonishing seven to one.

At this moment, the Chadian commander no longer considered the order to attack, but simply ordered his men to abandon the inflexible 47 and Centurion tanks, and preferably stop them sideways on the side of the road to block the enemy, while the others changed from the rear to the front and began to retreat.

The Libyans were also more and more excited when they saw the movement of the Chadian armored forces, and the commander directly ordered everyone to speed up the pursuit, and the result of the total annihilation of the Chadian armored forces was enough for everyone to be promoted to the next level, not to mention a generous monetary reward!

So, the Libyans chased after them, the Chadians ran in front, and the two sides began to race on the narrow road.

Although they are familiar with the terrain, most of the tanks in Chad's hands are recycled, so there is still a big gap in power for the Libyans, so they can't get rid of the Libyans, so they can only watch them chase and fire at themselves indiscriminately.

The Chadian commander hated the commander of the front-line army who had sent them to his death, and he did not understand the point of his own army's attack, but he soon understood.
