1578 A-10 Desperate American Vanguard Regiment(1/2)
"Hold on me! No one can be allowed to run away!"
Camora was in the command car, extremely angry.
Except for the initial sneak attack from behind and destroying several m1a1 tanks, there was no result in any battle for such a long time.
The crazy American m1a1 tank, as long as it aims at their t-72, it will completely make the t-72 turret be blown away with just one shot.
The Americans discovered that the tanks here were actually t-72s with a hemispherical turret, which were not the 359 tanks with a larger number of wedge-shaped turrets on the other side, and even attacked these t-72s that cut off their retreat path.
If they hadn't been concerned about the 359 tanks catching up from behind, they could have carried the artillery fire of the T-72 tanks and rushed forward directly to solve the iron coffins produced by the Soviets.
The two sides of the war quickly became chaotic.
"Be careful to avoid it, don't waste shells attacking their tanks, and take advantage of the opportunity to attack their armored vehicles!"
Staff Officer Halifa also kept roaring.
The skin of the m1a1 tank is too thick to penetrate.
The American m2 armored vehicles cannot withstand the t-72's 125mm tank gun.
The same character who died in one shot.
No matter how the commander roared, the National Defense Forces' T-72 tank still could not withstand the attack of the m1a1 tank.
Regardless of whether they would be surrounded by the U.S. reinforcements, the troops of the National Defense Regiment were evacuating away from Hefghi, while taking the opportunity to fire at the m1a1 tank and m2 armored vehicles that wanted to escape.
The entire battlefield became even more chaotic.
The T-72 tanks, which were originally to block the evacuation of US armored forces, have now become the team running in the front.
The m1a1 unit, which should have escaped, fled forward and fired fire at both sides.
The 359 tank followed the US military to chase...
"Call for air support! Ask those damn people, why haven't they arrived yet! Didn't you run faster than anyone else in order to earn money before?"
The colonel leader of the vanguard regiment of the Army's First Division was completely desperate.
Damn Air Force, none of them arrived now.
"The second group and the third group are almost here..."
The staff officer comforted the regiment commander.
"When they arrive, we are completely wiped out!"
The leader's tone was full of despair.
While being besieged, the entire Pioneer Regiment had less than 20 tanks so far, and there were less than 10 m2 armored vehicles that were fighting with tanks.
In order to survive, many officers and soldiers gave up their armored vehicles and fled around in the night sky.
The Iraqis did not spare any intact armored vehicles at all. Even if they stopped, they would destroy the armored vehicles that had stopped moving into wreckage.
It’s not that the US military is too afraid of death and is unwilling to continue fighting.
If you continue, there is no chance of winning at all.
Without the support of the air force, the 120mm tank gun of the m1a1 tank could not penetrate the front armor of the Iraqi 359 tank at all; the armored vehicles were even more deadly.
What's more, they also have anti-tank missiles that fall from the sky to attack the weakest top of the tank armor!
If you don’t run away, are you waiting to die here?
Most tanks and armored vehicles were blown up.
Under such an attack, the officers and soldiers inside could not even save their entire bodies.
The body cannot be found, and it is not considered dead. It is called missing. Even the government pension cannot be obtained...
"The fighter plane is here!"
Finally, when two more m1a1s were blown up, the roar of the fighter engine appeared in the sky.
In the night sky, a squadron's A-10 attack aircraft quickly approached the battlefield under the cover of the night.
In the air, although you can always watch the firelight of the tanks on the ground firing, you can't tell who is a friendly army or an enemy army at all.
All the pilots were puzzled.
On the radar display, all moving targets on the ground are red!
There was no green dot at all.
Could it be that their ground troops have been wiped out?
"Col. Who are we attacking?"
There are many targets on the ground, but there are no instructions.
Damn, their m1a1 tank has a signal transmitting device for the enemy and us recognition system.
Send a signal!
The attack aircraft was about to enter the bomb drop range, but the target could not be found...
“Contact the ground forces…”
"The ground troops communication vehicle has been blown up and cannot be contacted..."
"Call the early warning aircraft and let them indicate the target!" The commander was also embarrassed.
On the ground, I don’t know where the friendly forces are. What if I blow it up wrong?
At night, visibility is not good. If there is no fire on the ground flashing when the fire is fired, units in the air cannot even see the conditions on the ground.
The tanks that are maneuvering and the high-speed rotation tracks make the sand and dust in the desert fly, and further makes the ground invisible in the air.
"The early warning plane has not arrived yet..."
Everyone was confused about the reinforcements of the air attack aircraft.
Such a situation is not what they thought about before, and they have not encountered such a situation in training.
"Have you arrived? The ground troops of the Army's First Division are about to be destroyed..."
The headquarters constantly urged the support of the air force.
Until now, the headquarters has lost contact with their Pioneer Corps!
"Report the command center, the enemy and us identification system failure, and cannot provide a friendly position..."
The a-10 attack aircraft truthfully reported the situation.
"Boom~Boom~Boom~"
The ground battle is still continuing. When the tanks on both sides fire, red lights will still flash, and the dust is flying all over the sky by the tank tracks, making it impossible to see the condition of the ground tanks in the air.
"The ground is still fighting, our troops are still fighting..."
The a-10 attack aircraft formation that had begun to hover around the ground combat airspace has transmitted the situation back to the command center.
Who to explode?
That needs to be determined by the command center.
Otherwise, if they blow up their own army, they will be flooded by the army's saliva.
Although the army's warhead is not good, it is still the largest unit, right?
"The enemy-to-eight identification system is useless and cannot be contacted with the ground forces..."
The Joint Command of the War Zone, even the Chief of Staff and the Commander-in-Chief have no choice.
It is useless to arrive at the air command plane. At least you have to be able to see the ground. The dust on the ground is flying, and the sand in the desert weakens the signal, which is very troublesome.
"The Iraqi army is pursuing our troops and ordering air attack aircraft to first cover our armored troops to retreat, and wait until the reinforcements arrive, and then use air cover to attack Iraqi troops..."
In desperation, after analysis, the General Staff felt that the one in front should be the remaining troops of their Army First Division Pioneer Regiment.
Can't their troops chase the Iraqi army and run away in the direction of their large troops?
Although it was said before that the Iraqis surrounded the Pioneer Corps.
But now, only the number of tanks and armored vehicles in the front line is most in line with the number of their vanguard regiments.
The headquarters would not believe that one of their pioneer regiments was left with only more than a dozen tanks!
That's impossible!
It is never possible.
"What are those American fighter jets doing?"
The planes of the Young Officers' Corps saw the attack plane in the air, and the fierce offensive began to disperse.
In the process of pursuing the Americans' escaped troops, the weak defense of Fei Shield-359 did not follow. After pursuing for a period of time, the pursuing troops would retreat.
The follow-up troops have not yet kept up.
This combat plan is just a lesson for the Americans, rather than a comprehensive attack on Saudi Arabia's multinational troops.
In a state of concern, the attack aircraft in the air did not have an engine attack.
To be continued...
