1585 Disaster Day of the 1st Army Division(1/2)
No matter what Herataki thought, the missile soldiers who were ambushing on both sides of the dunes and fixing themselves on top of tanks or armored vehicles with ropes have begun to target the m1a1 tanks near them and the armed helicopters in the air.
An m2 armored vehicle that marches with the tank?
That's the target of tank guns!
The US military explored its way and opened fire, which caused many people to be killed.
The young officers of the Youth Officer Corps are waiting for the opportunity to take revenge.
"Open fire!"
Finally, Tazak issued an order to his silent subordinate.
"Go to die, American!"
A young lieutenant squatted from his hidden position as soon as he received the order. The sand on the camouflage net behind him quickly fell to the ground when he got up.
"Boom~"
The missile that was ejected was a distance from the launch cylinder, and the tail engine ignited and flew towards the sky.
This was like opening the prelude, and there were many figures appearing on the surrounding sand dunes.
"Boom~Boom~Boom~"
The slight roar of the engine at the tail of the missile shines with the increasingly loud roar of the engines of the armed helicopter.
The dozens of avant-garde or sky arrows fired from these soldiers were all slanted towards the sky, but the direction was different.
"Enemy attack!"
"avoid!"
"Open the fire..."
After a few seconds, the armored troops of the First Division, which were originally moving forward, suddenly became panicked.
The m1a1 tank didn't care about continuing to fire in front, but quickly turned the turret and turned towards the dune where figures appeared. The loader quickly loaded the grenade.
"Boom~"
In the middle of the calm dunes, the engine of the 359 tank roared.
Many tanks rushed out of the dunes.
The pilots of the armed helicopter group of the Army Armored Forces who were originally watching the ground move forward quickly, had just lowered their altitude and planned to fly over the heads of these tanks and say hello to the armored soldiers on the ground.
When I found ambushing on both sides, I became even more panicked for a moment.
Seeing a large number of missiles flying towards the sky, even though the alarm system in the cabin had not been reminded, the pilots began to control the helicopter to avoid it while adjusting their course, preparing to aim at the ambush area of the enemy to open fire.
"Swish~"
After the initial acceleration, the avant-garde air defense missile rushed straight towards the armed helicopter with a shrill sound of breaking through the air.
"Swish swish swish swish..."
The pilots of the armed helicopter did not care whether they had aimed. The rockets in the launching nests of the rockets hanging on both sides rushed towards the dunes on both sides...
"Didi..."
The alarm sound of missiles coming from the helicopter finally rang out.
Without waiting for the alarm, the pilots knew that the Iraqis had launched air defense missiles.
The missiles were clearly visible to the naked eye!
"The missile is coming!"
"Pull up! Quick! Pull up!"
"Boom~Boom~Boom~"
The flight altitude is already low and not flying at maximum speed. Before the pilots of the armed helicopter group could even fully react, the air defense missiles launched by the Iraqis were already in place.
In the sky, several Ah-64 longbows Apaches had turned into fireballs and exploded in the air before they even had time to open fire.
"Avoid! Pull up..."
The first time an ah-64 discovered that the missile was coming, pressed the joystick to the side. The helicopter that was originally flying in level instantly began to fly to the side.
The ah-64 pilot next to him has not responded yet.
When I realized that I could only lift...
"Shoot!"
The pilot tried his best to pull the joystick up, hoping to climb to higher altitudes quickly.
"Bang bang bang~"
The crazy rotor of the helicopter flying next to him hit the weapon mount on the side of the armed helicopter that had just lifted the head of the aircraft.
"Boom~"
Under the impact of the rotor, the missile on the weapon mount exploded.
"Boom~Boom~"
The missiles launched by the two helicopters in the Iraqis had not yet arrived, and because of the impact, they exploded one after another.
"Swoosh swish swish..."
The helicopter behind, which was not attacked, quickly unfolded and poured ammunition into the sand dunes on both sides.
"Swish~er~boom~"
The shrill sound of the avant-garde air defense missile breaking through the air ended with an explosion.
On the ground, the m1a1 tank's reaction speed is much slower than that of the air helicopter.
The anti-tank missile of the Sky Arrow flying into the sky turned around at a height of hundreds of meters and headed straight towards the accelerating tank on the ground.
"Boom~Boom~Boom~"
Almost every explosion will make an m1a1 tank become a wreckage, and the heavy turret is blown away by ammunition that is exploding inside. The huge pressure generated by the internal explosion will cause the explosion-proof plates in the tail compartment to be blown away...
"Bang~bang~bang~bang~"
The first army division of the marching Army, which was not far apart, was originally tanks and armored vehicles. When they were attacked, the driver accelerated wildly, hoping to leave the team.
If a division's tank and armored vehicle are deployed in combat propulsion, it will pave a long distance.
Unfortunately, the First Army Division had bombed Iraqi troops for several hours. When the small town of Hefghi had been razed to the ground by bombs dropped by the Air Force, the Air Force even bombed out the Iraqi armored troops hiding in the desert and preparing to ambush them. They did not have much vigilance.
Under the bombing of the powerful air force, who would have thought that the Iraqis would have the courage to ambush the way they were moving?
The first division tanks that advanced in the marching array were attacked, and many of them collided heavily because of panic.
"Reversal! Quick!"
The two m1a1s collided obliquely, and both sides did not talk nonsense. The commander directly directed his tank to reverse.
"boom……"
With the roar of the engine, the heavy tank quickly fell backwards.
"Bang..."
The tank that was reversing was hit by the tank behind...
Soon, the entire US First Division marched into extremely chaotic.
The young officers' soldiers who had fired the missiles in the launch tube did not throw away the launchers, but carried them and evacuated them directly.
Whether it is a helicopter in the air, a tank or an armored vehicle on the ground, before you have time to fire here, you will be destroyed by a Sky Arrow Anti-tank missile or avant-garde air defense missile.
The battle became intense from the moment it broke out.
There were missiles dragging through the air everywhere in the sky.
Explosions and the roar of tank engines were everywhere on the ground...
Iraqi tanks kept coming out of the dunes.
If someone looks closer, they will find that the originally hidden places of these tanks have a space inside that can accommodate the hidden tanks.
On these dunes of the hidden tank, only the sand on the top and sides is real...
"Strike back! Strike back now! Kill them! Call for air support now!"
The major general in the command tank behind the team quickly issued orders under the protection of more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles around.
They finally knew how the armed helicopter disappeared last night.
No one can withstand such a sneak attack!
Damn Iraqis, so cunning.
Even if there is no statistical loss, as the commander, the major general division commander, you will know that the losses of their first division are extremely heavy.
This was simply a disaster day for the First Division.
Iraqi tanks kept coming out in the sand dunes on both sides.
To be continued...
