Chapter 416: Grab the Heavy Tan Counterattack (Recommended to Skip)

The rebel soldiers received an order from the small leader and led a group of rebels to the hostage camp to slaughter all the hostages in the hostage camp.

As a result, when they just rushed over, they happened to bump into Xu Sanduo and his party who came over.

The two sides fought at the entrance of the hostage camp, and the fire between them crackled and exploded, and the scene was not fierce for a while.

The rebel soldiers had the advantage of their position and eventually entered the hostage camp first.

Leaving the three rebels to hold the north arch, the remaining two rebels ran directly to the hostage camp to complete the task assigned by the rebel leader group.

I thought that the hostage camp was full of lambs, and they rushed in and slaughtered the rebel soldiers as they wanted.

But it turned out to be a blood blow to the rebels!

The two rebels wanted to slaughter a group of hostages, and the other party was like meat on a chopping block, no matter how they handled it, there was no pressure at all.

As a result, two rebels rushed into the hostage camp through the gate, thinking about how to go on a killing spree.

Neither of the rebel soldiers fired a shot, but the lamb in the hostage camp was the first to move, aiming at the rebels rushing in from the outside with a barrage of bullets.

"Da Da Da, Bang Bang ......"

Automatic rifles mixed with pistol fire and lunged at the rebel soldiers.

Two rebel soldiers were killed on the spot, and one of them had no defense, and was washed from top to bottom, and in just a split second he was hit by several bullets.

No matter whether it is a vital or non-harmful place, it is hit by a bullet, and the ending is only one word of death.

The remaining rebel was in the back, and the bullets were absorbed by the rebels in front, so he caught up with a shot in the thigh.

The rebel simply couldn't understand how the hostages could have weapons.

Unexpectedly, when Jackie Chan and his entourage left, they deliberately organized rebel soldiers to form a defensive team, mainly to hold the hostage camp.

The rebel soldiers rushed in recklessly, giving heads to the government soldiers.

Only one was killed, but it was lucky.

The hostages of the government soldiers in the hostage camp got off to a good start, and the originally nervous mood finally stabilized.

The mood that was still very nervous suddenly became stable because of the killing of a rebel at the beginning.

Hold it even more firmly!

One of the remaining rebel soldiers was wounded and did not dare to rush in again, so he could only retreat in fear, telling the masked hostage that there was a defense inside the camp.

Originally, it was very difficult for the masked man to resist Xu Sanduo and his party.

Now when I heard that there was defense in the hostage camp and that there were several guns, I suddenly felt bad and became extremely irritable.

I want to bring all the people into it and kill all the people in the hostage camp.

However, the situation has completely gotten out of control, it is not within his control at all, it is not something he can kill if he wants to, and it has become possible to charge it.

The masked man could only stand up to Xu Sanduo and others, and use the walkie-talkie to call for help to the rebel leader.

I hope that the small leader of the rebels can call a team of people to come over to support the hostage battalion, and then they can easily complete the slaughter and removal of the hostage battalion.

The rebel leader receives a call for help from the hostage battalion, but the situation has become complicated.

One's eyes are bigger than one's stomach.!

Here, Zhuang Yan relied on his excellent personal ability, and he successfully touched the central square, and really completed the task arranged by Jackie Chan.

From the square, which was very weakly defended and negligent, a tank was successfully snatched.

And it's an unusual tank!

He got a T72B main battle tank.

T-72 Main Battle Tank (English: T-72 Main Battle Tank[1], Russian: T-72ОСНОВНОЙБОЕВОЙТАНК[2]).

This is a third-generation main battle tank designed and produced by the former Soviet Union in the early 70s of the 20th century.

The design of the T-72 main battle tank adheres to the consistent combat ideas of the Soviet army, and the system configuration is easy to produce, which not only retains the unique low profile of Soviet-made tanks, but also the characteristics of 125 mm large-caliber guns.

It can launch artillery-launched missiles and is equipped with a series of advanced equipment such as automatic loaders.

It also installed a turbocharged diesel engine with a total power of 780 horsepower and a three-proof device, which is a lot better than the second generation in terms of defense.

The development of the T-72 began in 1967 and was equipped with the Soviet Army in 1973, which lasted a total of five years.

As a third-generation main battle tank, the T-72 tank is simple, reliable and durable, and can be called another masterpiece of the former Soviet Union after the T-34 tank.

It not only served in a large number of the former Soviet army, but also exported and authorized the production of Warsaw Pact allies Poland, Czechoslovakia and other countries.

It almost became the new signature of the former Soviet tank, and its production reached a staggering 25,000 units.

The hull of the T-72 tank was welded with steel sheets, and the interior of the tank was divided into 3 parts: the front cockpit, the middle fighting compartment, and the rear power compartment.

The driver's seat is located in the center of the front of the hull, and the driver has a hatch located on the roof armor plate of the hull, which can be opened and closed from the inside.

When the driver is driving with the window open, he first has to turn the gun to one side at an angle and fix it.

On the front upper armor plate of the hull of the T-72 tank, there was a V-shaped wave shield with headlights, model ФГ-125.

Bulletproof fuel tanks are stored in the nose space on both sides of the driver, and bulldozer blades are installed on the front lower deck of the car for protection.

There are fuel tanks and toolboxes on the fenders on both sides of the body, and two additional drums of 200 litres of diesel each can be installed at the rear of the hull.

The turret is a cast structure, hemispherical in shape, located above the middle of the hull.

There can be 2 crew members in the turret, the commander on the right side of the turret and the gun commander on the left, each with a turret hatch.

The commander's conning tower adopts a double-layer movable seat structure, which can be synchronized with the turret and rotate in the opposite direction.

The fighting compartment is equipped with a turntable-type automatic loader, which eliminates the loader that was available in older models, and the arrangement of the fighting compartment is arranged around the automatic loader.

The entire combat section, together with the roof deck of the hull, leaned forward, thus increasing the depression angle of the gun forward.

Moreover, when the gun is turned to the rear, the depression angle is automatically raised to avoid collision with the rear protrusions.

In addition to the use of homogeneous armor in non-key parts, the upper part of the front part of the T-72 tank hull adopts composite armor.

The front upper armor was 200 mm thick and consisted of 3 layers, the outer and inner layers were homogeneous steel sheets of 80 mm and 20 mm, respectively, and the middle layer was a non-metallic material 100 mm thick.

The turret is made of steel casting, and the thickness of each part varies, with the frontal position of the turret being the thickest.

The early T-72 tank was equipped with 4 open shields on each of the outer edges of the front side fenders, the first of which was smaller and the remaining 3 which were slightly larger.

It consists of thicker metal and rubber sheets, hinged on the fenders.

There is a spring on the hinge, which can open the shield plate outward, and form an angle of 70~80° with the longitudinal axis of the car body.

When the tank passes, the obstacle next to the vehicle can press the shield plate parallel to the vehicle body, which does not affect the passability of the tank; Usually the shield is fixed with a chain with a hook.

Later T-72 tanks were equipped with monolithic side chasets. Both the open shield and the integral side skirts have a shielding effect against armor-piercing shells.

The four walls of the cockpit and the fighting compartment are equipped with a lining made of leaded organic materials, with a thickness of 20~30 mm, which has the ability to prevent radiation and fast neutron flow, and at the same time can reduce the secondary killing effect caused by the splashing of fragments in the inner armor.

The three-proof device is a collective protection type, which is composed of a detection device, a control device, a booster fan, a filter tank, a shut-off mechanism and other parts.

It can filter the air entering the car body, and the car poison filter can carry out the necessary disinfection of radioactive dust and chemical agents in the car.

If the M60 that was killed by Jackie Chan before has such a corresponding three-proof device.

In Jackie Chan's car bomb burning wildly, it will inevitably be able to block part of the smoke from entering the car, so that the champion soldiers in the car will not be so panicked.

In the end, it is likely that there will be no situation, and he ran out of the car in a hurry and was served by Jackie Chan.

The T72 is excellent in terms of defense and other aspects, leading the second-generation tank almost in all directions, and it is even more outstanding in terms of weapon firepower.

The main armament of the T-72 tank was a Type 2A46 125 mm smoothbore tank gun with a short recoil distance.

The length of the body tube is 48 times that of the caliber, and it is composed of parts such as the body tube, the gun tail, the cradle, the stationing and retreating machine, the reentry machine, the thermal sheath and the smoke extraction device.

The pitch angle of the gun relative to the turret reached an astonishing almost twenty degrees.

Since the turret seat is tilted forward by 1.5°, the actual pitch angle of the gun is -6°~+13° when it is forward, and the actual pitch angle of the gun when it is backward is -3°~+16°.

The T-72 is mainly armed with a 125mm smoothbore gun, and it is a rare "jumboum" in tanks.

The main models are the 2A46 series, including 2A46M and 2A46M1.

It can fire tail stabilized deshelling armor-piercing projectiles, and the maximum effective range of this wide armor-piercing projectile reaches an astonishing 2120 meters, with a muzzle velocity of 1800 m/s.

The thickness of armor piercing is 300 mm / 1000 m.

It can also fire a more fierce tungsten alloy tail stabilized deshelling armor-piercing projectile, with an effective range of 2,500 meters and a penetration depth of 420 mm at 2,000 meters.

The penetration depth within 1,500 meters is even more exaggerated, reaching a staggering 500 mm.

In the face of all current main battle tanks, as long as they can hit head-on, they can easily complete the penetration and complete the soul ascension in one shot.

But that's not the limit!

Once equipped with a depleted uranium alloy tail stabilized deshelling armor-piercing projectile, although the effective range is still 2,500 meters, the penetration depth of the maximum homogeneous armor reaches an astonishing 610 mm at a distance of 1,500 meters.

Besides......

It can also fire 14М tail stabilized armor-piercing shells with a muzzle velocity of 900 m / s, a maximum direct firing distance of 4000 meters, and an armor-piercing thickness of 475 mm / 1000 meters.

Although the thickness of the armor piercing is not as good as the former, the effective range is superior.

The maximum effective firing range is 9400 meters.

It can be equipped with so many different types of ammunition, which puts the T72 ahead of the second-generation tank in a wide range, and it is also excellent in terms of ammunition reserve.

It can carry up to 39 shells, which is enough to fire at will on the battlefield.

The ratio is generally 12 tail stabilized armor-piercing shells, 21 tail stabilized grenades, and 6 tail stabilized armor-piercing shells.

22 shells are stored in the rotary ammunition conveyor of the automatic loader, the upper layer is a cartridge, and the lower layer is a projectile;

9 shells were stored in the middle group of shells behind the turret gondola; Four shells were stored in the compartment to the driver's right in the front of the hull, and three shells were placed vertically and one horizontally on the rotating floor.

The T72 stolen by Zhuang Yan is still an upgraded version of the subsequent improved T72B.

This upgraded version of the tT72 turret has been thickened, containing a 435 mm thick multi-layer aluminum plate and rubber composite layer in the front, which greatly improves the defensive power.

The top of the turret has also been upgraded with a 25 mm thick layer of neutron protection.

The U.S. Army nicknamed "Super Dolly Patton."

The sight has also been upgraded, with the 1A40 sight with the function of calculating the preload, and the range of weapons fired is wider.

It can launch 9K120 Reed Flute "Svir" laser-guided anti-tank missiles.

Because of the particularity of being able to launch missiles, the T-72B has become a very important improved model series in the entire T-72 series.

There are pros and cons, of course!

The T-72 main battle tank is a powerful and simple weapon platform.

Even if it is excellent in all aspects, with the birth of the fourth generation of tanks, the performance of the T-72 is now far behind other tanks in the world today.

The firepower and protection capabilities of the T-72 main battle tank are no longer sufficient to cope with new threats.

Mobility is far behind the times, information capability is seriously lacking, and it is seriously out of touch with the general trend of networking and informatization in today's world.

Insufficient fire and explosion suppression measures, weak defense, insufficient maneuverability, lack of anti-jamming ability, etc.?

and so on, all of which are seriously troubling the T-72 and its users.

After all, this is a product of the last century, no matter how awesome he was at that time, with the rapid development of science and technology, it is normal to be thrown behind.

But.

This is on an overarching level.

In the Middle East, where the development of science and technology is relatively slow and the update and iteration of military equipment is backward, the T72B is still a very powerful main battle tank.

As long as it is reasonably transformed, its potential can be fully tapped.

At least it can barely catch up with the times, not to mention competing with the fourth-generation tank, at least it can continue to fight with the latest third-generation tanks of other countries.

Zhuang Yan got a third-generation tank, and it was a T72B with an extremely exaggerated caliber.

Now you can show off your might!

The main gun of a tank with a 125 mm password, the power of each shell is much stronger than that of the M60 105, which can be said to be not in the same class range.

Zhuang Yan alone could not control the entire tank, so he could only choose between firing and moving.

Considering that the overall battlefield situation is very passive, all other sides are being beaten by rebel soldiers, and even the most important hostage battalion is now unable to enter.

Zhuang Yan first chose to enter the gunner position to control the main gun of the T72B main battle tank.

"Idiot, I've got the tank and locked on to the enemy's position, I'll help you clear the way now, and you're ready to rush in."

At the same time as Zhuang Yan made a radio announcement, he aimed the muzzle of the control gun at the arch of the hostage battalion.

The masked male rebels, who were trying their best to defend, were still waiting for the aid of the rebel soldiers, but instead of waiting for the aid, they waited for a 125 smoothbore gun.

"Whoosh-"

The cannonballs pierced through the air, sending a whistling roar.

The "amateur" tank gunner Zhuang Yan hit the right side of the arch with precision, where the rebel masked man was.

Under the explosion of the great power of the 125 smoothbore gun, the entire right side of the arch was completely blown up.

And the masked man and his subordinates hiding in this position were all gone in this wave of explosions, either blown up or buried in the rubble.
