Dominate South Asia

"Brake!" The commander saw a black smoke coming out of the muzzle of the tank on the opposite side in the peripheral vision device, and immediately shouted loudly. At the same time, other crew members who heard the commander's order tightly grasped the handrails beside them. .

"Squeak!" The huge tank suddenly stopped. Everyone's bodies trembled, and at the same time, nervous expressions hung on their faces.

No sound of being hit! Our side escaped the opponent's shooting!

"Fire!" the commander shouted, and a ball of fire came out of the muzzle of the Type 90 tank gun. The warhead of the armor-piercing projectile broke away from the outer casing, unfolded its tail fin, and flew forward at a speed of 1,700 meters per second.

From the tank cluster on the opposite side, puffs of black smoke suddenly appeared.

The Challenger 2 tank also has a special unique weapon. Its engine exhaust pipe can be mixed with diesel and turned into billowing black smoke. In this way, the most important laser rangefinder in the sighting equipment of the tank unit on the opposite side can be used. It's not working properly, it's a cover-up.

A Challenger tank in front suddenly shook its body. An armor-piercing projectile had already penetrated into its turret. It drilled deeply into the main armor on the front. The warhead of the tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile pierced the tank. The blazing heat flow penetrated the Chobham armor of the Challenger tank and entered the inside of the turret.

The tank soldiers inside were injured by the metal heat flow in panic, and even watched the metal heat flow ignite the ammunition in the tail compartment.

"Boom!" Although the pressure relief panel of the tail cabin had been opened in time, it still could not prevent the tragedy of being killed. In the explosion, the entire turret was blown away.

The battle of blood and fire is going on constantly, and the battle between armored forces is so bloody and cruel.

When the black smoke passed, the British armored forces discovered that they were flanking. A certain number of tanks appeared again!

The T-80 tank using a gas turbine is coming!

This kind of tank consumes a lot of fuel and is a huge burden on logistics. However, this is not a problem for oil-producing countries such as Kuwait and Iraq.

Different from the previous Lao Maozi, this batch of T-80 is not the monkey version, but the same model used by the Soviets. Moreover, with the help of Shostakovich's relationship, a batch of artillery-launched missiles were obtained!

The Iraqi army has been operating the T-72 for many years, and it can quickly master the control of this tank. Now, in the hands of the most elite 8th Armored Brigade of the Hammurabi Division, these tanks are put into full play. the greatest power.

The rounded turret gives people the illusion that this tank is the T-72 equipped by Iraq. The fire control system of this tank. High enough accuracy is only available within one thousand meters.

Therefore, when these tank guns opened fire three thousand meters away. Colonel William has not yet realized the opponent's big weapon.

Cannon-launching missiles! The United States also studied this thing at the beginning, but the technical difficulty was too great and finally gave up. The Soviet Union worked tirelessly to make up for the shortcomings in the power of tank guns, especially the range. This missile fired from a tank gun was developed!

9M119 "Reed Flute", NATO code-named AT-11 "Striker", this latest Soviet artillery-launched missile uses laser beam guidance. At this time, the driver in the tank is constantly aiming the laser at the front. Tanks, no matter what maneuvers the opponent does, just use the crosshair to suppress the opponent. It’s a solid win!

The T-80 tanks that appeared on both sides fired the first salvo of artillery-launched missiles almost at the same time. Since they appeared on the side of the British, they aimed at the side of the Challenger tank's largest projected area, and. The armor on the opponent's side cannot be as thick as the head.

Ten seconds later. The 9M119 missile made close contact with the Challenger tank. The tandem warhead easily penetrated the Challenger's side armor and killed all the members with a powerful metal jet inside the tank.

This kind of gun-launched missile has an armor-piercing capability of up to 900 mm. Even the American M1A2 tank with depleted uranium armor is difficult to withstand. Moreover, it can also deal with armed helicopters.

Listening to the calls from both wings, main battle tanks were killed one by one. Colonel William knew that he had fallen into a trap.

"Retreat, retreat immediately!" Colonel William shouted.

Tank duel! What era is this! There was also a tank battle! The ones used to deal with enemy tanks are not our own tanks, but armed helicopters! It's an attack plane in the sky!

Colonel William's initial confidence was gone. Now, he needed to retreat and recuperate while calling for air support.

After receiving the order to retreat, the entire armored brigade left dozens of blown tanks and began to retreat. In order to retreat quickly, they did not turn, but directly put into reverse gear, and began to reverse quickly.

The Challenger 2 tank has two reverse gears, which can achieve maximum reversing speed when reversing in the wild.

Armored Ali looked at the retreating British tanks in the commander's peripheral vision device with disdain on his face. Before the British set off from the UK, they said so awesomely, how could they destroy Kuwait City one day? What now? Didn't you get killed by yourself and get out of here?

Want to run? Not that easy! Ali led his armored brigade and rushed forward fiercely, fighting with the British armored soldiers.

Twenty minutes later, a rumble sounded in the distant sky.

The coalition's air superiority played a role again! Just as the elite Hammurabi Division of the Iraqi Republican Guard was chasing the British, A-10 attack aircraft loaded with Maverick air-to-ground missiles came over the battlefield. Their arrival put great pressure on the Iraqi armored forces on the ground.

Accompanied by the self-propelled anti-aircraft guns of the armored forces, they immediately fired into the sky. At the same time, other armored forces broke contact and retreated quickly.

In modern warfare, without air superiority, there is nothing. In fact, even in World War II, on the battlefield in North Africa, the armored forces of Rommel, the Desert Fox, suffered heavy losses due to air strikes.

These sturdy ground attack aircraft saved the British First Armored Division. Just as they were about to expand their victory, a huge sandstorm suddenly came.

Covering the sky and the sun, the sand and dust rolled below, and nothing could be seen clearly. In the desert area, this is the most common sandstorm.

At this time, the sudden sandstorm saved the armored forces of the Hammurabi Division. They evacuated quickly in the sandstorm. They could not see the attack aircraft above their heads clearly. Moreover, the sandstorm even caused two planes to crash.

When the sandstorm passed, the Hammurabi Division had already disappeared.

The Hammurabi Division fought bravely. It was the Hammurabi Division that first invaded Kuwait. At the same time, the Hammurabi Division's ability to escape was also first-class. In the historical Gulf War, the Hammurabi Division fought a decisive battle with three divisions of the US Seventh Army, and finally tore open a gap and escaped. More than 800 tanks and more than 1,000 armored vehicles escaped back to Iraq from under the noses of the Americans and continued to defend Saddam's regime.

The battle to attack Kuwait was far from being as simple as General Schwarzkopf thought. Now, the 101st Airborne Division was still fighting street battles with the defenders in Kuwait City, and the armored forces that continued to reinforce were blocked or delayed by the sandstorm. The plan to recapture Kuwait City in half a night was completely defeated.

"Our troops are bleeding and sacrificing, where is the Arab coalition?" General Schwarzkopf roared in the headquarters. This battle was too cowardly, especially when an armored regiment was destroyed by ballistic missiles at the beginning of the war. He felt that he would not be able to explain it to the country.

You can't let the American and British troops bleed while the Arab coalition is enjoying the coolness on the side, right? Thinking of the arrangement at that time, General Schwarzkopf felt that it was very inappropriate.

In particular, the armored forces of Pakistan, which had the strongest combat effectiveness, were originally intended to attack Kuwait City, but due to President Bush's opposition, the mission was exchanged with that of the 18th Army. This armored force was supposed to break into the Euphrates River bank in Iraq from Iraq, control Highway 8 east of Samawah to Baghdad, isolate the Iraqi troops in Kuwait, and cooperate with the Seventh Army to annihilate the Iraqi Republican Guard.

According to the strong combat effectiveness of the Pakistani army, they should have arrived near Highway 8 a few hours ago!

"In order to avoid being attacked by Iraqi Scud missiles, they changed their route of action. Now, they are still 200 kilometers away from Highway 8." The responsible staff said.

Changed the route of action! It is incredible that the armored regiment was accurately hit by the opponent's ballistic missiles. Obviously, the route of action was leaked. The staff did not consider it when formulating the action plan, and the accuracy of Iraq's ballistic missiles was too high, resulting in a large number of casualties.

Therefore, after discovering this, the headquarters urgently issued an order to change the action to the troops below. As a result, the Pakistani armored division was moving too slowly, right? Like a snail crawling, it was getting dark outside, and it was still 200 kilometers away from the scheduled destination! I am afraid that after dawn tomorrow, the established strategic goal cannot be achieved!

"Urge them immediately and speed up!" General Schwarzkopf said.

"They are now waiting for fuel supply in the desert area, and they have applied to us for airdrop fuel." The staff officer said.

These guys! General Schwarzkopf couldn't help but frown. With the strong logistics support capabilities of the US military, it can only guarantee the fuel supply of its own armored forces. The M1A1 tank uses a gas turbine, and the fuel consumption is quite large. When necessary, they also have to use transport aircraft to drop fuel supply. (To be continued ~^~)
