Babylonian Empire

At this moment, the whole world has not reacted yet. Could it be that Arafat was talking in his sleep?

Just after Arafat's statement, Iraq issued a statement at the same time.

"In order to help our Palestinian compatriots and to restore peace in the Gaza area, we in Iraq have decided to unite with other Arab countries to organize a peacekeeping force to enter Gaza. As the territory of the Palestinian state, the Gaza area is now suffering from brutal aggression. Hope The aggressors immediately put down their weapons and exited the Gaza area. At the same time, we declared the sky over Gaza a no-fly zone, and any aircraft flying over here will be shot down!"

Iraq is finally about to start. At this time, the Ministry of National Defense listed in sè was on duty and immediately realized that the situation was not good. Just when they urgently notified the Minister of Defense and the Prime Minister to enter, the battle had already begun.

At the same time that Iraq issued a statement, Iraqi ground forces had already begun operations.

In order to prevent the smuggling of materials in the border area, Israel has closed the land between the Gaza area and Egypt with barbed wire and power grids, and there will be checkpoints at intervals.

However, just this morning, the power grid has failed, and the five checkpoints on the border north of Duhail have all lost their voices.

They didn't have any urgent information to report back, and they were all killed by Iraqi special forces before dawn.

The Rattlesnake Special Forces came out of the tunnel and appeared completely behind the enlisted in color. Without any precautions, they were captured by the Rattlesnake Special Forces.

Now, what Iraq needs most is time!If they don't react after being listed in color, they need to recover the entire Gaza area!

In the northern part of Duhail, Iraq's steel frenzy surged towards the border.

The Gaza area is only 350 square kilometers in total, and the width from north to south is only [-] kilometers. At this distance, it is an hour's cross-country journey for a tank.

Ali's dúlì armored regiment rushed to the front, the 1200-horsepower engine was roaring, the tail was billowing with thick smoke, and the raised sand covered the sun.

Go, go, before Israel reacts, enter Gaza City, drive the Jews away, and liberate the entire Gaza!

The tracks kept advancing on the ground, and the tank with its gun barrel held high rushed forward.

Crossing the small town of Rafah, crossing Khan Younis, the most fertile land in the middle is the Jewish settlement.

The Jews who lived here doing morning exercises were surprised to see the army approaching from a distance, and they thought it was their own army. When the tanks approached, the experienced Jews immediately realized that it was terrible!This is the Arab army!

As long as Jews are of the right age, they must serve in the military. This has led to a wealth of military knowledge among Jews. That kind of tank is very similar to the T-72 tank imported from the Soviet Union. That flag is the flag of the Iraqi army!

Iraq is coming!How did they get here?

After being stunned for a long time, only a few people came to their senses, so hurry up and report to the higher authorities!

However, they found that their phone calls could no longer be dialed out, and their entire communication line had been completely destroyed last night.

Then, the power in the entire settlement area was also cut off, and the special forces responsible for thousands of power transmission lines had an accident, and the task was not completed until now.

The Armored Division didn't care about these Jewish settlements, they only had one goal, Gaza!

Hades was very depressed because this was his task.

He didn't get a fight, this kind of thing is his business instead.

After the marines entered from another location, they followed the 35th Armored Division. Their mission was to wipe the ass of the 35th Armored Division: to monitor these Jews entering the settlement.

As for the civilians, Iraq absolutely cannot take any action. They cannot be allowed to come out to cause damage. At the same time, they must also prevent any "justice" from entering the army. Now that the opportunity is coming, pick up an assault rifle and give them a shot. , will make Iraq look bad internationally.

The armored group continued to advance, and after half an hour of crossing the border, they finally reached the outskirts of the Gaza Strip.

Here, the 460th Armored Brigade, which had just received the news, came out of Gaza City and ushered in.

The 460th Armored Brigade is an important armored brigade of the sè column, equipped with the latest development of the sè line Merkava MK3 tanks, a total of three tank battalions, with [-] such tanks.There is also an armored engineer battalion, an armored reconnaissance company and an anti-tank missile company.

Compared with the original MK2, the most important change is probably the replacement of a 120mm smoothbore gun, which is far more than the original 105mm rifled gun.

As soon as they left the urban area, they discovered the torrent of steel in Iraq, which had rushed to a distance of only 4000 meters from them.

"Battle ready, armor-piercing shells!" shouted Brigadier Ranag.

The troops of the above ranks are proficient in combat skills. Although they are now facing an encounter, they are all making preparations quickly, turning on various fire control equipment, starting the laser rangefinder, and an armor-piercing projectile has already been inserted into the barrel.

At this moment, the commander, who was watching through the periscope, discovered a scene that surprised them.

A puff of smoke appeared from the muzzle of the tank opposite, which meant that they had already fired shells!

How can this be!Now the distance is 4000 meters!

There are only two possibilities. First, the people coming from the opposite side, like the Arab people back then, fired shells from a distance to embolden themselves. They fired aimlessly.

Second, they already have advanced weapons that can attack at such distances!

Brigadier Ranag arrived in Germany half a year ago for further studies, and he immediately thought of a possibility. Attacking at this distance is possible. For example, the Soviet Union has artillery missiles!

After the reunification of Germany, many Soviet weapons have been thoroughly researched by the West. For example, the MiG-29 fighter plane, the helmet sight and large off-axis missiles on it, such as the T-80 tank artillery missile, they have begun to be familiar with Soviet weapons.

"Stop advancing, retreat immediately!" Brigadier Ranag immediately shouted into the radio. At this time, he had no other way, and hoped that this last resort would work.

Chapter 460 [-] Armored Brigade Was Disabled

If there are good things, Ali is definitely willing to use them immediately. Now, with artillery and missiles, he will certainly not be stingy.

This thing not only has a long range, it exceeds the range of the opponent's tank gun.Even the most advanced 120mm smoothbore gun has a range of no more than 3000 meters when firing an armor-piercing projectile, and this kind of artillery missile has a range of 5000 meters.

At this distance, the Israeli armored soldiers are completely abused.

Therefore, when the Israeli armored soldiers were found, Ali immediately ordered that the first round of artillery and missiles be launched immediately.

Leaving Gaza City and running out of the city to fight the Iraqi army is simply courting death.

In the past, the armored troops of Israel were invincible, but now, it has been rewritten.

As an alternative tank, the Merkava is taking a different path. Its protection ranks first. In order to reduce casualties, even the engine is moved to the front. The firepower is second, and the mobility is only It can be ranked third, although it also uses a 1200-horsepower engine, its dead weight has reached an astonishing 65 tons!

Brigadier Ranag didn't order to speed up. Speeding up can't avoid missiles. The closer the distance between the two sides, the better the effect of firing missiles. Therefore, he could only let the armored troops retreat.

However, it is too late now.

The excellent quality played a role. The Merkava MK3 tank stopped, adopted a hydraulic automatic shift mechanism, and put the reverse gear on. The entire armored force began to retreat. At the same time, the muzzle was raised, and it was done. Preparations for launching shells.

The smoke emitting device began to spray out smoke continuously, and the battlefield was already filled with gunpowder smoke.

Iraq is equipped with 9M119 artillery missiles, which use semi-active laser guidance. The special feature of this missile is that the rocket engine is placed in front of the main charge.From the bullet point to the back, there are the first-stage hollow armor-piercing charge cover, the rocket engine, and the second-stage hollow armor-piercing charge cover.In this way, the tandem hollow armor-piercing charge was realized for the first time on the artillery missile with limited length, so the power was greatly increased. The vertical static armor-piercing power of the missile warhead was 900mm.

After flying in the air for ten seconds, through the smoke from the smoke emitter, more than 30 artillery missiles hit the target, and a dozen deviated from their target. After continuing to fly for more than ten seconds, they chose to self-destruct.

The use of serial hollow armor-piercing charges is mainly used to guard against reactive armor.Reactive armor is a layer of explosive blocks on the outside of the main armor. When the opponent flies, the explosive block explodes and blows up the opponent.And new attack weapons will emerge as the times require.Two-stage charge, the first stage detonates the opponent's reactive armor first, and the second stage is the main warhead that destroys the opponent's main armor.

However, the main application of reactive armor is still the Soviet Union's own tanks.

This kind of warhead is now firmly hit on the body of the Merkava tank.

When hitting the turret, first use the front warhead to tear a hole, and then use more force on the main warhead, and the heat has already penetrated into it.
