Chapter 627: Encirclement
"Release the smoke, release the smoke!"
The Chadian tank crews, who were fleeing with all their might, constantly activated the smoke grenade launchers in the tank turret, and although these smoke grenade launchers fixed outside the turret in different directions could only be fired once, the smoke released could last for a period of time, obscuring a large part of the battlefield area.
Therefore, when retreating, the Chadians did not encounter any trouble, and the Libyans' shots from the back almost did not hit the target, but when the smoke grenades were released, the Chadians had nothing to do!
A considerable part of the Libyans' T55 tanks have been upgraded and improved from the Soviet Union, including upgrading fire control, installing night vision equipment, and almost all of them are equipped with laser rangefinders.
And the tank troops put together by the Chadians are simply ***, most of the tanks are not even stuffed with shells, and the usual maintenance is even more wasteful.
Originally, half of the tanks were lost in the attack, but on the way to escape, half of them were lost due to mechanical problems and other problems, and in the end, only six French AX30 tanks were left to run back safely. xь.
These tanks are second-hand that the French eliminated, although they are second-hand, but they are in decent condition, so it is not surprising that they can run back, it is worth mentioning that several Italian of40 tanks are actually okay, but they were all lost in the first wave of the attack.
The Libyan armored forces looked at the abandoned tanks and trucks along the way and became even more excited, in order to ensure the complete annihilation of the opponent, they did not even wait for the feedback of the reconnaissance troops, everyone lined up and continued to move forward like this, there was no need to panic when they encountered the enemy, the whole regiment of more than 90 tanks pressed together, there was no enemy who could not be defeated!
By the time the Libyans were marching in, the main force of the Chadian army had already completed a roundabout, and motorized infantry consisting of hundreds of Toyota pickup trucks pressed over from the south, southeast and northeast, and they waited for the Libyan vanguard to stop according to the predetermined battle plan, and then they fought together.
The lead car of the Libyan armored forces quickly rushed into the predetermined ambush circle, and in the next second, a brilliant firework erupted under the tank, which instantly engulfed the entire vehicle.
Then, the tank whirred and dragged the broken tracks to kick out black smoke, and then stopped working, the whole car looked good on the outside, but on the inside it was completely different.
There are two types of large anti-tank mines that have been ambushed in advance, one is the anti-personnel model that penetrates the armor with a metal jet, and the other is the model with a large cone angle (more than 120) powder cover hollow charge, so that the mine detonates and forms a high-speed flip projectile to penetrate the bottom armor.
The Libyan tank was hit by the former, and the metal jet shot from under the hull into the inside of the tank, instantly turning the occupants of the car into a puddle of mud stuck in the hull, and there was no chance of sparing, and only the driver could keep half of his body, but soon, the tank was billowing smoke, and the flames would turn all the remaining limbs into char.
The first car was attacked, causing the cars behind to stop immediately, and before the commander could react to what had attacked them, there was a shrill whistling in the sky.
The Chadians concentrated about fifty curved guns on the periphery, which was almost the entire fire support of the entire front, and after confirming that the enemy had entered the ambush circle, the artillery began round after round of covering fire.
Countless 105 howitzers just whistled out of the chambers and landed between the long lines of Libyan armored forces. Ь.
In an instant, the entire Libyan armored regiment was thrown into a panic, and soon two vehicles were hit by artillery and began to catch fire, while many more were trying to get out of the battlefield.
But Chadian motorized infantry was also in position almost at the same time, and began to attack in three directions along the long line, which was about two kilometers long.
The Toyota pickup truck unloaded the 107 rocket launcher towed behind the vehicle, and then drove up to high ground, while the Chadian soldiers on board were divided into two groups, one of which began to adjust the elevation angle and ruler of the gun on the spot, and the other group quickly set up the Milan or Tao anti-tank missiles they were equipped with.
They have been practicing these tasks for many days, and the process has long been familiar with it in their hearts, therefore
Hardly anyone goes wrong.
As the missile finished warming, a whistling sounded again, only this time, the whistling sound flew close to the ground!
The Libyans in a panic didn't even notice the strange guys two kilometers away, and it wasn't until tanks were bombed into the sky one after another that they were sure that there was an enemy attacking them on the flank. Ь.
But the whole team was already in disarray, the communication was not smooth, and the deafening shelling made it impossible for the Libyans to report the situation of the war, and several Libyan tanks that had spotted anti-tank missiles were killed by the Chadians as soon as they fired a single shot.
Chadians almost have a walkie-talkie in a group, not to mention several Pioneer drones hovering in the sky, which are the best-selling products of the Navy and Marine Corps after Shepard obtained the production authorization from Israel, and hundreds of orders have been placed in just one year, and the Chadians have taken the goods before the Americans.
It can be said that in terms of current synthesis, the Chadians can be regarded as being able to squeeze into the first echelon of the world.
Not only the individual Chadian attack groups communicated, but even the Chadian troops in the three directions of attack were able to communicate with each other, and even the front-line commanders could ask for artillery support.
At this moment, the Libyans are like a python that can't move, blocked on a narrow road, unable to advance or retreat, and even returning fire can't achieve any effective killing, because the Chadians have done enough backup work, and if one group of shells is gone, another group will be on top, and a car will be destroyed, so someone will immediately step forward and pull the wreckage apart with iron chains and replace it with a new car.
The Libyans couldn't break through at all, because tanks in the front and rear were the key targets, and even the Chadians took the time to knock out the command tanks with high-powered radios and high antennas one by one.
After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the Chadian helicopter unit joined the fray and began to use Tao missiles in the air to mend the tanks that were still ready to fight.
It wasn't until three hours later that the gunfire on the battlefield stopped.
"Don't fight, don't fight, ceasefire, we surrender!"
In the billowing black smoke and flames, a white flag that could be seen at a glance as a temporary worker waved weakly, and at the same time, there were bursts of miserable wails.
