Chapter 368: Gunsmoke on the outskirts of Baghdad (asking for a monthly pass)
Don't look at the two chapters.,It's 4000 chapters in front.,Do you have to divide chapters to count as many yards...... There were a lot of typos in the previous chapter, because I changed the manuscript, I was not satisfied with the first time I wrote it, and then I changed it again.
……
Khatib Hafez is still very quick to react.
He knew what the government army was like before, and suddenly had the courage to rush out to attack, Khatib Hafez was naturally puzzled, and he couldn't react too much until he figured out the support of the government army.
The devil knows if the United States decided to send troops!
It wasn't until two days after the start of the war that Khatib Hafez determined the reason why the government forces dared to fight, and in particular, came up with a turtle tactic.
Don't say it, Khatib Hafez looked at the map and deduced it for hours, but he didn't come up with a way to break this tactic.
It can only be knocked hard, but the casualties are definitely very large!
If they were to be repaired to the gates of Fallujah, Khatib Hafez could be sure that the nobles in the city would have an idea.
Therefore, the top priority is to resist the government forces and not let them move forward anymore.
An order sent 5,000 men from Fallujah, and he also secretly went from Ramadi to the Fallujah front.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, 5,000 terrorists arrived at the front line with a large number of heavy weapons, and at this moment, the engineering team in the form of government soldiers had once again repaired the fortifications 2 kilometers forward.
That's the whole four lines of defense!
Don't look at the war, but work, they can still do it, anyway, it's an improvised line of defense, the excavator digs a trench, and the soldiers only need to put dirt into sandbags and stack them on top of the trench.
More than 20,000 people, if it is changed to China, I can repair more than a dozen of this kind of defense line for you in one day!
From this point of view, the government army is still quite useless...... What to do, what not to eat, what to eat is not enough.
In fact, when the terrorists left the Fallujah barracks, the engineering team immediately retreated from the front line to the rear, and the government soldiers went up on it.
Compared with the first day, the state of the government army is actually much better, and the thinking is relatively unified, and they are ready for a long-term defense.
The reason is that the tanks are coming up, and they are on the front line.
How to say it, the modern military is different from the past, even during World War II, and the cultural quality of the soldiers is higher, such as tanks, fighter jets, and this kind of equipment requires at least you to know a foreign language, and it is professional English or Russian, otherwise you can't understand the manual.
Yes, the equipment is all imported, and they don't give you instructions in Arabic......
Others include command vehicles, radar vehicles, missile vehicles, artillery radars, counter-battery radars, various jamming equipment, over-the-horizon locking equipment, etc., as well as the linkage of various electronic equipment.
Who would dare to believe the data obtained by their illiterate manipulation equipment?!
This is also the reason why the Iraqi government army is obviously qualified to purchase advanced equipment, but when it is fighting, it does not use it, or when it does, it is completely unable to give full play to its equipment superiority.
It's the same as World War II...... The tactics and the quality of the soldiers are not as good as those of World War II.
Another point is that the amount of training is insufficient.
Whether it's a tank or an artillery, you can't train enough, so why should you hit accurately!
Therefore, Wang Zhen, who deeply understood the level of the government army, directly arranged for the government army to drive the tanks to the defense line and use them completely as fixed artillery and fortresses in the battle plan.
The tank is surrounded by sandbags for two or three layers, so that even if it is hit by an RPG, it will ensure that the tank does not suffer a fatal blow.
Rocket-type armor-piercing projectiles rely on the metal jet generated by the energy gathering effect, and the metal jet will scatter after hitting the soft sandbag, and the power will be dispersed at once.
Even if it is an armor-piercing projectile, it can have a certain effect, and if the armor-piercing shell of the terrorist tank gun wants to accurately hit the tank, it is also quite difficult, and the quality of their soldiers is also poor.
More than 20 tanks were arranged outside the first line of defense, and Wang Zhen's design also included armored vehicles and bulletproof Humvees, the difference is that instead of stacking sandbags around these two, they directly dug a slope and drove the car into a large pit, and most of the body was hidden below the horizon.
And at the rear of the position were arranged more than 40 self-propelled guns.
They were all pulled out of warehouses in Baghdad, and after basking in the sun, they were pulled up to positions when they were sure they could be used.
Well, that's it, 10 kilometers after the terrorist army approached the position, Iraqi artillery began shelling at the designated coordinates.
Good news: The military maps surveyed and mapped by the US military are very accurate, and the coordinates are directly marked in different areas, and the helicopters in the sky only need to observe the enemy's position to know the coordinate position.
The bad news: There are very few people in the Iraqi army who use the Shooting Calculator...... After all, the operating system of this thing is also in English......
And just a few people, the results are also different.
But in any case, the artillery fired!
Even if it's useless, it's good to listen to it.
In the eyes of the middle and upper echelons of the Iraqi army, it is regarded as training.
And the fact is that they still overestimate the soldiers below, why do you need special training, the first thing you need should be equipment maintenance and basic operating specifications, right?
If the high and low machine and the direction machine of the artillery are not used and maintained frequently, the accuracy will decrease, and the problem of artillery balance has not been solved by these people, so you can train a few hairs!
There is no artillery radar to cooperate with the calculation of the landing point, and I don't know how to correct it!
The only good news is that because all the data is wrong, and the effect of negative and negative is positive, so many artillery pieces are fired in one direction, and there is always luck in the cloud.
The shells fell on the army and exploded, which also alarmed the terrorists.
No matter how brainwashed you are, you are not afraid of death, and the artillery will panic if it explodes not far away, this is an instinctive physiological reaction.
After a few rounds of shelling stopped, the terrorists were delayed for a while and finally reached a distance of 3 kilometers from the front line, at which point the mortars of the government army could be used.
Mortars are clearly more suitable for this illiterate army...... It was much more accurate than artillery.
In the face of the artillery threat, there was no time to rest, and the attack was launched directly towards the positions of the government troops, the tanks and armored vehicles opened the way, and the soldiers advanced step by step under the cover, and the combination of infantry and tanks was quite like that.
There was no ambiguity on the side of the government army, and the fixed tanks opened fire directly.
T-72 tank aiming and firing process:
1. The gunner enters the type of ammunition used, and changes the division on the scope to the corresponding ammunition model.
2. The gunner aims the red ring of the laser rangefinder at the target for ranging, the big red ring is the main gun ranging, and the small red ring on the right is the coaxial machine gun ranging.
3. Read the distance through the position pointed by the pointer directly above the scope.
4. If you want to aim at a moving target, the gun commander needs to aim the red ring at the target for a few seconds to obtain the advance data;
5. After entering the distance, the fire control system automatically adjusts the pitch angle of the gun barrel, and the gun commander presses the inverted V-shaped crosshair in the middle of the scope on the target.
6. Fire.
M1A1 tank aiming and firing process:
1. The commander manually enters the ammunition model.
2. Point the square aiming ring at the target, press the laser rangefinder button to measure the distance, and the measured distance will be displayed under the scope with a green number.
3. If you want to aim at a moving target, the gun commander needs to aim the square aiming ring at the target for a few seconds to obtain the advance data.
4. After the ranging is completed, the fire control system automatically inputs the distance data to the ballistic computer and automatically adjusts the pitch angle of the barrel.
5. Fire.
The main difference between the two tanks is that the T-72 requires manual data entry, which is equivalent to zeroing the scope of the rifle, before it can be fired.
This rudimentary fire control system requires a high quality of soldiers.
During the Gulf War, how did the soldiers under Silly Damu use the T-72?
In order to save time and effort, all the data should be adjusted before the war, so that the target can be directly aimed on the battlefield, such as adjusting it to 1000 meters, and on the battlefield it is like using a rifle...... The hit rate is simply miserable.
In comparison, the M1A1 with foolish operation is much better.
In order to cater to the reality that the quality of the Iraqi government soldiers is worse than that of the Silly Damu period, Wang Zhen's advice is like this, enter the data in advance, and use it as a rifle within 1,000 meters.
It's worse on the terrorists' side anyway.
Iraq, a worse place than rotten!
The things that Wang Zhen added to that battle plan were how to better compress the sparse scope.
Stationary tanks, fixed sight distance data is one of them.
In the design of Wang Zhen, there is no value in firing artillery at a distance of two kilometers, and a kilometer is already far away, and it is impossible to hit at all.
However, in practice, Wang Zhen still underestimated the quality of Iraqi government soldiers.
Fear made the artillery commander start the shelling within two kilometers of the terrorists, pure ......
I can't say it's wasteful.
After all, you can't hit even a kilometer.
The battlefield is so hot, Mengbei, see who is not firm in faith.
First, the tank guns roared, and the sandbags around the earthquake trembled.
Then it was the government forces that the mortars began massive shelling.
Hiding in the trenches and firing artillery, the enthusiasm of the government gunners was quite high.
Mortars are the workhorse in the design of Wangzhen!
This thing has a fast launch speed and low difficulty to operate, although it is almost powerful, it poses no threat to tanks and armored vehicles, but it can blow people up!
Anyway, the Iraqi government has money.
The most important thing is to improve the morale of the government army!
Lying in the trenches, in the sandbag fortress, watching the dense explosions in the direction of the terrorists' advance, the yellow sand made by the small mushroom clouds fill the sky.
Just looking at it is invigorating!
As a result, the first round of the terrorists' attack failed after 10 minutes.
There were no losses of tanks, and losses of armored vehicles were small, but the losses of armed pickups, armored Humvees were relatively large, and even greater were personnel losses.
The distance of 2 kilometers is not far, and it is only three minutes for the armored car to rush over, but if you are human, the 1500-meter world record will take three and a half minutes.
In the case of covering infantry, it takes more than 15 minutes to pass this distance.
The tighter you get in, the more intensive the mortar strike, and in a short period of time, more than 100 mortars of the government army fired more than 3,000 shells on the battlefield!
In the face of the curved mortars, the cover provided by tanks and armored vehicles was mostly weakened, and the infantry was bombed badly, and this wave of attacks lost more than 400 people!
The losses were so great without a frontal engagement, and the terrorists' will to fight could not withstand it!
There was no way, Khatib Hafez could only order a retreat, knowing that it would be impossible to take the positions of the government troops in a short time, and retreated 10 kilometers to the same positions.
Camped!
In fact, there wasn't much turmoil in his heart, which was expected.
If the preset position had been washed down so well, World War II would not have been so bad.
The best way to storm the position is to use tanks, a large number of tanks with armored vehicles, to rush up in the shortest possible time.
But the problem is that the advantage of terrorists is not heavy equipment such as tanks or armored vehicles, but infantry, or the will to fight of terrorists, who dare to fight hard.
For a time, the two sides formed a confrontation.
