"Don't be afraid, hurry, go up, the Iranian shells can't hit us, it's up to us!" A commanding company commander said, and at the same time ordered his infantry to go forward immediately, follow the trenches just dug, and prepare to attack. Get close enough to launch a bazooka.

"Boom!" At this time, the second shell fell again, knocking down the fortification where they were hiding just now. The last few soldiers did not come out, and they were all buried inside.

As soon as they rushed up, the new fighters who were a little scared just now suddenly went blank with only one thought, destroying the Iranian tanks!

At this time, the machine guns on the Iranian armored vehicles began to shoot in all directions. Since the trenches were relatively low, many of the soldiers who were walking forward accidentally exposed their heads or backs, and many of them fell down.

An Iraqi soldier finally rushed to the front. He picked up the bazooka and fired a rocket at a tank in front.

"Boom!" The rocket drew a trajectory and flew towards the tank.

The bazooka hit the front armor of the 69 tank, and suddenly, a stream of heat spurted out and began to drill into the main armor of the tank, but it couldn't bite!

The bazooka has to hit the weak point of the tank, and it can't chew through the thickest main armor.

The tankers inside were nervous for a while. The violent impact on the car body just now made them think that the tank would be destroyed in the next moment, but after a few seconds, they were still safe.

Kill the guy who fired the rocket just now!The commander immediately turned his eyes to the scope again.

It was dark inside. Although the tank was not killed just now, under the violent vibration, the sighting equipment still broke down.

At present, it is obviously impossible to jump out of the tank to repair the sighting equipment.

The Iranian tank driver was heartbroken, stepped on the accelerator, and ran over directly with the tracks of the 69 tank.

The battle is going on fiercely. This is a contest of courage and guts, a fight of life and death.

"Master, our soldiers can't hold on any longer, the casualties are huge!" A brigade commander said: "Nearly half of my men have been killed or injured."

"We will all die in the battle, and we must block the attack of the Iranian tanks!" Majid said: "Jingwei Company, get ready!"

"Teacher..." The deputy teacher stopped him: "Let me go first!"

If even the personnel of the division headquarters are going up, it can only show that the battle may really not go on.No matter how good the soldiers are at fighting, if the casualties exceed one-third, the army is in danger of collapse.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang behind him.

That's the direction of Abadan!

When Majid stepped out of the bunker of the division headquarters, he saw the torrent of armor rolling behind him.

The Fourth Armored Division has finally arrived!

The [-]th Armored Division raced at high speed on the highway for an hour, and finally arrived at the front line of Abadan before sunset.

At this time, the No.40 Second Infantry Division was still struggling. They guarded Abadan in the rear and prevented the Iranian armored forces from entering.

Their mission is over. After enduring the brutality of the Iranian armored forces, now they only need to watch and watch their own armored forces vent their anger on themselves.

The 72st Armored Regiment of the [-]th Armored Division was the first to arrive. Their T-[-] tanks, with towering barrels, entered the battle zone in battle formation.

"800 meters ahead, one armor-piercing projectile." A tank at the front had already started aiming.

The T-72 tank uses an automatic loader, so there are only three crew members, namely the commander, gunner and driver. The loader has been replaced by an automatic loader.

Although the maximum range of the armor-piercing projectile is only more than 100 meters, the 2000th Armored Division belongs to the Republican Guard, and the quality of its personnel is the highest. They have been operating this kind of tank for nearly two years Time has already figured out all the tempers of the entire tank. They hit a moving target nearly [-] meters away. Although the hit rate is less than [-]%, they have to try it. The Iranian armored forces are so arrogant, they have to give them A lesson!

As for the 69 tanks, when launching grenades, they dare to launch to a distance of 2000 meters. If they launch armor-piercing shells, they must be at most 800 meters away to maintain sufficient precision.

The T-72 uses split-type ammunition, and the warhead and cartridge are stored separately. The gunner presses the selector switch, and the rotary bomb feeder of the automatic loader starts to rotate, and a БМ12 tail-stabilized shell-piercing shell is sequentially The warhead and barrel of the gun are inserted into the barrel, and the loading work is completed.

When shooting the opponent's tank, since it is a moving target, it is necessary to set the lead of the aiming. The T-72 equipped in Iraq uses the TPD-K1 collimator, which does not have the function of automatically calculating the lead. However, all this is experienced Under the operation of the gunner, it became easier.

The gunner put his eyes on the sight, and in the field of view inside, the 69 tank that was still running was so clear. He followed the opponent manually, and there was a long row of scales on the aiming mark. After aiming and gradually moving, after tracking for two seconds, he has completed the calculation of the lead and manually entered the data into the fire control computer.

"Launch." The driver shouted.

"Boom!" The huge T-72 tank had a burst of flames from the muzzle, and a shell had already flown out of the barrel.

After the shooting is completed, the gun barrel is automatically lowered, and the gun locker fixes the gun at an elevation angle of 4°30′, so that the next automatic and accurate shell loading can be carried out.

After breaking away from the muzzle, the shell of the armor-piercing projectile flew away, leaving only the pointed armor-piercing projectile with the tail.

At this time, the Iranian armored soldiers also discovered that the Iraqi armored forces appeared behind them, and they immediately went up to them.

When Muhammad got the news of the encounter between the striker and the Iraqi armored forces, his heart sank. They had analyzed their own intelligence. Abadan did not have any heavily armed troops at all, and it took more than a day for the nearest armored forces to arrive. Where did this troop come from?

No one told him, however, that he was already in a dilemma.

During the flight of the cannonball, it will be affected by many factors. Even a slight crosswind will cause a change in direction, and at nearly 2000 meters, even if the course changes a little, it will miss the several-meter-long body of the tank.

However, the tank that was targeted was very unfortunate. Although he also found an Iraqi tank in front of him and the flames from the opponent's gun barrel, at this distance, even the Chieftain tank had only a very low hit rate. Rate.

But then, the tanker heard a violent collision, and then, in an instant, the main armor was penetrated, and heat flow entered the tank, detonating more than 20 shells that had not yet been fired.

Suddenly, there was a violent explosion, and the crew of this tank was blown to pieces in the explosion.

The 72mm caliber gun of the T-125 tank can easily penetrate the opponent against the homogeneous steel armor of the 69 tank.

The real tank battle is officially staged.

4 Chapter 69 [-] The Cemetery of Tanks

The T-72 tank is almost invincible in the entire Middle East battlefield. The chief of the Iranians can at most be on par with him, while others such as M60 and M48 are not opponents at all. And this 69 tank, Then it is even more impossible to fight against it.

The 69 tank still uses a 100mm smoothbore gun produced in China. When a gun of this caliber fires an armor-piercing projectile, the farthest distance is only 500 meters to damage the main armor of the T-72. The 72mm caliber artillery of the 125 can kill the Iranian tanks at a distance of 500 meters.

This is the generation difference!

In the Gulf War in later generations, the United States used the advanced M1 tank to completely defeat the T-72, and the T-72 was unable to fight back at all. However, the current T-72 can completely form a great advantage over the 69 tank.

The T-72 tank entered the battlefield, and the fate of the Iranian armored forces was decided at this moment. There was no other way to go except to be annihilated!

At 2000 meters, a very lucky armor-piercing projectile killed a 69 tank. Starting with this, the battle between the two groups of steel giants finally began.

However, the outcome of the war was completely one-sided.

The engine of the T-72 tank is constantly refueling, driving the huge body forward on the ground, and the 125mm caliber artillery is letting out a roar that shakes the sky. This is the world of Iraq!

Facing the opponent's armored group, Muhammad still wanted to fight hard. He ordered his armored troops to advance quickly, and when they approached a distance of 1000 meters, their own firepower could also be used!

However, he did not expect that the Iraqi armored forces would never give him this opportunity.

Just as the T-72 tanks were attacking frontally, as the BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles of the armored forces began to move rapidly to the two wings, they carefully kept a distance of about 5000 meters from the opponent. At this distance, the Iranians Artillery fire will never pose a threat to them, but they have weapons that can attack each other: anti-tank missiles carried on infantry fighting vehicles!

"Boom!" Another armor-piercing bullet, the most elite armored unit in the Republican Guard, is definitely not of ordinary quality. At a distance of 500 meters between the two sides, the hit rate is as high as 80.00%, almost every moment , There will be 69 tanks emitting thick smoke and turning into a pile of scrap iron.

In ten minutes, dozens of tanks, the vanguard of the Iranian armored forces, were all killed. After the tanks were dealt with, the Iranian armored vehicles became the targets of the second batch of strikes.
