Chapter 35 Crossfire

The Chieftain tank's l11a5 type 120mm rifled tank gun fires a stable shell-out armor-piercing projectile. It is powerful enough to penetrate a 500mm thick homogeneous steel plate and hit an armored vehicle that is only a dozen millimeters thick. It is simply killing a chicken with a stinger.

According to aerodynamics, the thinner the body, the smaller the resistance. However, the caliber of the gun is certain, so a new method has emerged: a lightweight support is used to sandwich the armor-piercing projectile in the middle. The diameter of the support is the same as the diameter of the gun. The armor-piercing projectile is made into a slender rod shape. After the support is released, the support automatically falls off due to the resistance. The projectile continues to fly along the barrel. This is the origin of the term "shelling". In order to ensure the stability and accuracy of the slender support body during flight, when manufacturing the armor-piercing projectile, four tail wings are installed at the tail, which are arranged in a cross shape, so it is called "tail wing stability". This armor-piercing projectile has quite powerful armor-piercing capabilities.

The two Type 63 armored reconnaissance vehicles only seemed to be bitten by a mosquito. The sharp mouth tore the skin of the armored vehicle and kissed the armored vehicle enthusiastically. Then, the belly of the armored vehicle suddenly exploded, and the internal ammunition was blown up by the heat flow formed when the armored bomb was shot in. The entire armored vehicle turned into a ball of fire.

The squad leader was covered in sweat. As long as he hesitated for a while, his armored vehicle might have been treated the same way. Just as he was in reverse gear and retreated, the other party began to fire shells. In this short time, the armored vehicle retreated by the length of the body and survived.

What the squad leader didn't know was that he was spared, and there was another reason. The Chieftain tank used a rifled gun, which was carved into the barrel. The tank gun was a typical high bore pressure, high ablation, and the rifle was worn very badly. The tank guns aimed at him had fired more than 80 shells, and the shooting accuracy had decreased. At such a long distance, coupled with the accumulation error of the aiming equipment, the squad leader finally gave him a chance.

The armored vehicle was not backing fast. The squad leader had almost stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and could not see clearly the situation behind him. He kept retreating and leaving the battlefield.

If it were normal circumstances, the opponent's chief tank would have rumbling after him. No matter how fast he retreated, it would not be as fast as the opponent's advance. After the opponent came up, he would add a few more shells, and his armored vehicle would probably have become a fireball.

However, the other party did not move and did not chase after him.

The squad leader was completely convinced of his judgment and immediately reported to his superiors on radio.

"Report to the Brigade Department, my armored reconnaissance squad has found the enemy's traces. Ten kilometers east of our department, the other party is in the swamp and cannot move. Repeat again, the other party is in the swamp and cannot move!"

Mohammed immediately received the message. Although he was not clear about what the so-called inability to act meant, he knew that the time for the 35th Brigade had been tested.

"Tank Battalion, advance eastward immediately and prepare for combat. The Mechanical Battalion will follow after two kilometers." Mohammed said.

I was moving north just now, but now all the tanks immediately turned right, forming a single-line combat formation, and heading east.

Everyone was holding a sense of energy in their hearts, rushing up and beating up the cunning Persians, trying to attack themselves, but there was no way!

If you look from the sky, the usually quiet swamp is now a noisy scene, with a large row of tanks scrambling toward the east.

If several armed helicopters flew from the sky at this time, the exposed tank assault group would suffer great losses without following up with air defense fire.

However, the Iranian cobra was still on the way back to refueling in the rear. The Iraqi female deer armed helicopter is still in the military region and has not been dispatched.

The Iraqi air force has not yet reacted. This battle is destined to be a head-on collision between the armored groups of both sides.

Sheila felt that the situation was not good, and the cement had solidified. He immediately ordered his armored battalion to continue moving forward! If he stayed here, it would soon attract the opponent's attack. Instead of staying there and being beaten, it would be better to take the initiative.

A large number of tank troops in the rear were also following up. After Rajavi learned that he had exchanged fire with the Iraqis in front, he knew that something was wrong. Now, there is no other way, and he can only destroy the opponent's armored group in the swamp, and immediately attack the swamp as soon as possible!

After only five minutes of walking, I saw a torrent of steel ahead, and the other party came so fast!

At this time, Sheila felt that the situation was very unfavorable to him. The tank troops on both sides were lined up in a row, but the other party was completely unfolding on his front, while his tanks were in a column, and both sides were in a T-shaped shape. In this way, his firepower could not be deployed at all, which was equivalent to binding his hands and feet and fighting with a group of wolves.

"The first and third battalions, two sides of the border, the second battalion, and attack head-on." Seeing that the opponent's tank had appeared in his sight, Muhammad issued a combat order.

Suddenly, a skeleton formation began to curl from both sides, and the first and third battalions surrounded each other from both sides.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer.

"First Company, deal with enemies at 6 o'clock, second Company, against enemies at 9 o'clock, third Company, and deal with enemies at 3 o'clock, each company should pay attention to destroying enemies at a long distance, and do not let them get close." Sheila shouted in the radio.

My situation was very awkward and was not suitable for the firepower to be used. Unexpectedly, the opponent's brain-dead commander attacked his flanks. In this way, the firepower of the tank happened to be fully utilized.

Although the number of enemies is several times that of his own, Sheila is not afraid at all. His own fire control system is enough to allow the chief to deter the enemy from a distance of 1,800 meters. One thousand five hundred meters can almost hit every shot. Only after the opponent rushed into six or seven hundred meters will the simple t-62 fire control system make them pose a threat to them.

Several battle experiences told Sheila that the Iraqi tanks are typically short with short arms and cannot reach them when they swung their fists. As long as they eliminate the enemy at a long distance, they will be safe and sound. At that time, it may be a great achievement.

The only thing he lacked is that his tank could not move, otherwise he would have ordered his tank to rush down and fight against the other side.

Mohammed looked at his tanks and formed a standard attack formation, gradually approaching the opponent. The powerful chief was like a sleeping sheep without any movement, which made him feel more confident. It was difficult to hit moving targets, and it was much easier to hit static targets, especially for his tank troops who had just mastered the key points of long-distance shooting, the chief opposite was simply a suitable live-fire target.

"Note, all units should not get too close. The fire control system should be adjusted to a distance of 1,500 meters, prepare for the first shot, and the tail wing should stabilize the shell-out armor-piercing bomb." Mohamed commanded in the radio.

When Ali, the company commander of the 3rd Company of the Second Battalion, heard this order, his stomach was full of bitterness. Who shot accurately at such a long distance? When did the brigade commander become so cautious? We just rushed forward and let the Persians open fire. At a distance of five or six hundred meters, they would blow the chief up one by one.

Even the company commander Ali, who has only been to the third grade in elementary school, has devoted great enthusiasm to this fire control system, but unfortunately, he still has no grasp of it. The level of the gunman under his command is not necessarily better than him.

As a company commander climbing up from the lower level, Ali has experienced many battles, and his courage is commendable, but his ability is insufficient. Especially when manipulating tanks that require a certain level of knowledge, he makes mistakes repeatedly and cheats during the report and practice. However, he is still a courageous Iraqi warrior.

Ellad was full of confidence. He had been studying the fire control system of T-62 and had already used it carefully. He turned on the infrared light and aimed the 2a20 115mm smoothbore cannon of T-62 at a chief directly in front. He could feel that the chief was probably aiming at him. This feeling was very unbearable.

"Cruff!" The tank stopped, and the shooting in the movement was still an insurmountable barrier, so if they wanted to hit each other accurately, they had to stop, but this was only temporary.

"Boom, boom, boom!" At this moment, the opponent's chief began to fire shells.

t-62 was not willing to be outdone, and almost at the same time, it also fired shells. The first time the two sides fired at each other officially began.
