Chapter 1418
"Arson, shelling, bombard me desperately." Major General Brinita of the division headquarters was really furious. Under his order, more than a dozen howitzers from the division's artillery battalion were firing desperately, intending to add some bargaining chips to the battlefield more than ten kilometers away.
When the leading armored forces of the mixed-organized First Division intended to take over the town of "Tikpo" outside Merida, Major General Brinita, who was commanding the division, received a request for help from the front line. The town consisted of anti-tank mines, anti-tank missiles and light rocket launchers, which could not be attacked at all.
More than a dozen Type 63 rocket launchers fired more than 100 shells in one breath, covering a large area. Four or five tanks and more than ten armored vehicles were wrapped in this area.
It depends on the probability at this time.
Or see who has a darker face!
For tanks with armor, more than 100 shells might not even hit a fart. It is also possible that the unlucky ones would be lost by the shells or even hit directly.
The most unlucky thing at this time was the ordinary infantry who got off the infantry chariots and armored transport vehicles to fight on foot. Hundreds of people were hit by this rain of ammunition, killing and injured.
There is an anti-tank minefield with unknown density in front of it, and anti-tank missiles fired from time to time, and the following infantry cannot rush up. Now the entire armored force can only stop in place and fire with the fire point in the town, while seeking artillery fire support from the rear.
The intensive firefight began, leading the m60a3 at the forefront of the entire battle. Its 105mm caliber tank gun reloaded with grenades became a fierce fixed fire point.
The gunner who operated the cannon was constantly looking for anti-tank launch positions in the direction of the town. His eyes were placed in front of the scope, and he would scream ‘fuk’ every time he stepped on the launch pedal.
The m68 tank gun has high accuracy and fast firing speed. Every time it takes one shell in a few seconds, it can defeat a arranged missile position. When the attack was shot, the tank became the target of the anti-tank team in the town, and missiles were fired one after another.
But these missiles are often confused by smoke bombs that explode from time to time, or blocked by explosion reaction armor draped on tanks.
With a loud bang, the captain who was looking for the target on the command tower was shocked and his head kept colliding with the body of the vehicle. This was a missile hitting the turret, reacting to the armor explosion and cutting off the metal jet of the missile to prevent it from penetrateing the main armor of the tank.
He was hit by a missile but survived the disaster. The crew inside the tank was as fierce as the blood of chickens. The captain quickly found the missile position to attack him. The gunner turned the turret and quickly gave the opponent one.
The grenades released by the gun hit the target accurately again, and the smoke and dust that exploded looked so pleasing to the eye. This made the morale of the tank crew burst and the combat power increased.
But after firing more than twenty shells in one go, the anti-tank firepower points in the town seemed to be emerging one after another. The commander in charge couldn't help but sigh: "This is really a group of bandits, bandits! They are not afraid of death and keep coming out."
After a long time of fighting, the loader was breathing heavily. Although the 105mm shell was not a big deal, it was transporting more than twenty rounds in the narrow tank turret for a short time. I felt so tired after a while.
The key is whether this is still over?
The chariot was constantly 'discovering the target', and the gunner kept shouting 'Destroy the target and find the next opponent'. After more than twenty times, the panting loader couldn't help but shout: "Let the infantry go up and occupy the battlefield. If we continue like this, the shells will be almost gone!"
Yes, m60a3 has only a total of more than 60 shells. In the blink of an eye, it took one-third of the shooting. But the opposite position was still fighting back, and there was no sign of any decline. When will this be finished?
But if the infantry came up to occupy the position, the rocket launcher hidden in the tunnel opposite immediately came to cover and shoot. If you want to suppress the rocket launcher, the tank gun that aimed directly was useless, and it must be a howitzer in the rear. However, the howitzer had been smashed fortifications for a long time, and it was useless to use too much as the opponent's complete position fortifications.
The attacking armored troops tried to detour and search for other weak places to break through. However, except for the two armored vehicles being bombed by anti-tank mines, they did not take any advantage. Moreover, after the troops were dispersed, they could not attack.
Such a small town is like a hard walnut, and it can't be broken.
The original assault war turned into a war of attrition. The armored troops should have used their mobility to open a breakthrough on the battlefield and tear apart the front, but now they are trapped in one place and cannot come down.
As time went by, the tank's smoke bombs were quickly consumed, and the anti-anti-armor was blown to a great extent. The m60a3s were ashamed as if they were dilapidated, with a bumpy appearance and more losses.
The m60a3, which was still at the forefront, still had fierce firepower. It was so powerful that it survived several rounds of firepower volleys. However, one of its tracks was broken by a rocket, and it was impossible to retreat by itself.
Major General Brinita in the rear finally realized that his artillery battalion had reached the limit of the hot barrel of the gun barrel, and he could no longer fire. He could only shoot one or two shots in a minute. This amount of firepower support could not shake the opponent's determination to resist.
"Let the armored team retreat." The major general said helplessly. This war of attrition was extremely unfavorable to him, and he would suffer any losses if he fought.
When the order was passed to the front line, the still-moving armored team quickly began to evacuate. However, there were still several damaged tracks on the battlefield that could not be left. The m60a3, which was extremely fierce just now, was immediately stunned because they just couldn't.
The sound of cannons on the battlefield became increasingly sparse and less. The commander gave the crew the commander on the radio to blew up the tank and then evacuated it himself. But no one told the crew members how to evacuate it?
"Damn, we were abandoned like this?" The captain glanced through the Zhou Vision Glass and finally found that except for the vehicles that had been completely destroyed, he was the only one left in the entire battlefield.
The gun barrel had been loaded, but the cannon leader, who had just been fighting, had no intention of stepping on the launch pedal. He looked at the commander and asked, "What should we do? Crawl out of the turret and escape on foot immediately? What if the enemy hit us with a rocket launcher?"
The loader, who was so tired that he could speak, had no strength. He shook his head and said, "You can still run, but I feel weak in breathing, and I can't run anymore."
After a while, the tank crew that supported each other ran out of the m60a3. But they failed to run out of five hundred meters and were surrounded by the security soldiers who came out of the town to clean the battlefield.
The crew members were taken back to their tanks, and four tank crew members were ordered to stand in a row with their backs against the tanks. At this time, there were even war correspondents coming up to take photos.
Looking at the guns around, the leading chariot commander lost the ferocity that was not long ago, and instead shouted desolately: "Before killing me, can you tell me how many anti-tank teams have you arranged in the town?"
After taking the photo, an officer from the security army stepped forward and looked at the four prisoners. Regarding the chariot leader's question, he said calmly: "I have prepared fifty anti-armor teams."
"Impossible. Our team alone knocked out more than thirty groups. You definitely have more than a hundred groups that are constantly firing anti-tank missiles." The captain of the tank team shouted in dissatisfaction.
The officer of the Kuo Security Army sneered: "Although the anti-tank missile we used is a little old, its launch frame and control device are separated. At most, you have knocked out the launch frame and cannot knock out our people. There are no other anti-tank missiles in our position."
Is the launch frame and the control device separate? Is there such missiles under the world?
