I never expected that I would have the opportunity to be a tank loader in this life, and that I would go into actual combat without even being familiar with the process, and directly kill three armored vehicles.
It is not convenient to show off this achievement because no one will believe it and it will be said to be too fake.
"Aren't those who drive the tanks your people? What about the crews who drive the armored vehicles? Are they your people or someone else?"
Gao Yi loaded a cannonball, and then he had time to ask the loader for more information.
The loader said without hesitation: "We received the order at about twelve o'clock at night, and then some foreigners arrived at our camp. I didn't see all of them, but I saw four tank crews.
The foreigners were very short and very old. I entered the car with them, and there were three people in the armored car crew. There were six people in the armored car crew and 12 people in the tank crew. There were 18 people in total. They drove into the camp.
, but there are still people who haven’t come with us.”
The key point is right here.
Free Wind found a unit in the Iraqi Defense Forces that was actually controlled by tribal armed forces, but they did not trust the capabilities of these Iraqis, so they prepared their own vehicle crews.
Gao Yi continued: "What about the infantry? Are the infantry your people?"
"Most of the infantrymen on the armored vehicles are our people, but some are not. They are members of the special forces of the National Defense Forces."
That's it.
Free Wind found high-level vehicle crew members, but they did not send their own special forces. They still used Iraqis. However, they found relatively elite troops, not entirely mechanized infantry.
No wonder the performance gap between tanks and infantry is huge.
But if the Free Winds were not with the British and did not come with the Iraqi tank and armor formations, then where were they?
While Gao Yi was thinking about this problem, Feng Biao said urgently outside: "The armored vehicles are turning towards us. If the armored vehicles have missiles, retreat, retreat, retreat behind the building!"
It's good to attract the enemy's attention, but you can't really think of yourself as the king of land warfare and charge and kill unscrupulously.
There are two tanks and five armored vehicles left. If the enemy attacks them all together, it will be doomed.
The donkey started to reverse.
There is nothing to say at this time, just listen to the commander.
But at this time, Gao Yi's phone suddenly rang.
Feng Biao suddenly said: "No! No! The enemy is not trying to attack us. The enemy seems to be... in chaos?"
Feng Biao himself was not sure, even though he was the only one who could observe from the outside.
Gao Yi answered the phone, and then he heard a heavenly voice saying: "We are here."
Serkin, it's Serkin, reinforcements have arrived.
Gao Yi looked at his watch, it was twenty-eight minutes, Serkin said he would be there in half an hour, and it was really here.
For a moment, Gao Yi's voice became hoarse, and he trembled: "In which direction are you? The office building, factory building, and a tank are all our people, don't accidentally hurt them!"
"tank?"
Serkin was obviously confused by Gao Yi's report. He said in shock: "Aren't all tanks enemies?"
"No, no! We destroyed a tank and robbed a tank!"
"Uh... we carry anti-tank missiles that can deal with tanks and armored vehicles. The drone has flown over the battlefield to tell you the location of your tanks."
Gao Yi immediately said: "The single tank behind the building is us."
"Is that the tank with the man outside?"
Gao Yi immediately said to Feng Biao: "Wave!"
Feng Biao raised his hands and waved to the sky.
"We have seen you. We have launched an attack, but we will not rush in immediately. We need to deal with the enemy tanks before we can enter. Now establish radio communication."
Report the frequency band, establish a radio connection, and then you can use the walkie-talkie to talk without having to make a phone call.
When the radio connection was established, Serkin continued on the walkie-talkie: "We will attack from both sides."
Gao Yi and the others couldn't see how Serkin's men were shooting, but Feng Biao was still outside at this time. He said in surprise: "The shooting was so accurate, it's an anti-tank missile!"
Serkin still said on the walkie-talkie: "We give priority to attacking the enemy's armored forces, but those helicopters seem to be taking off."
Gao Yi had completely forgotten about the British.
Since the British soldiers who entered the building were wiped out, the remaining British have not launched an attack again, and the helicopters have also stayed in the factory area.
If you think about it, you can understand the plight of the British.
The helicopter flew away directly, completely leaving behind the comrades who had entered the building earlier. However, the helicopter did not leave, and reinforcements came outside. Moreover, Gao Yi and the others had snatched a tank. If they did not leave, it would be too late.
By this time, the British were running away.
The helicopter rotors began to rotate, and people began to board the aircraft. All of this was noticed by Serkin's people, but Serkin only focused on attacking the tanks and armored vehicles that were more threatening, but the helicopter did not care.
But Gao Yi and the others have nothing to do at the moment.
"Turn around! Go kill those helicopters!"
Gao Yi was very excited when he said this.
Let's put it down first whether we have accomplished the goal or not. Today's ambush was destined to fail and we were beaten instead. However, after a hard night and so many people dying, the situation has reversed. We have to fight back no matter what.
"Reverse! Reverse! Turn the turret around and fire with the machine gun!"
The commander's remote-controlled machine gun on the roof of the tank was damaged, and the 12.7mm machine gun above the barrel was damaged. However, the main body of the gun was hidden in the turret, and the parallel machine gun on the right side of the barrel was not damaged.
Although the 7.62mm caliber is smaller, the bulletproof capabilities of British helicopters are not that strong. More importantly, all British soldiers have not yet been able to board the aircraft.
The tank just drove in reverse at full power without affecting the turret's rotation, aiming at the helicopter docking area behind it.
The tank fell backwards, and not far away, you could see the helicopter that was blocked by the building just now.
"Fire!"
The machine gun fired a short burst, and the tracer bullets guided the target. Feng Biao said urgently: "Higher!"
You still have to aim indirectly, so try firing with short bursts.
Short burst fire, but continuous short burst fire, three to five bullets each time, but the interval is very short, just open the fire and adjust the impact point.
This kind of aiming method is quite inefficient, but apart from wasting bullets and time, the effect is not bad.
"Right here, fight!"
The loader, who was promoted to gunner, started firing continuously.
The stability provided by a tank is certainly not comparable to that of the human body. As long as the aim is accurate, the parallel machine gun will always be accurate.
"Long burst, move laterally, sweep them!"
Feng Biao shouted with great joy. After being pinned down and beaten for so long, now he could rely on the armor of the tank to counterattack the enemy. It certainly felt great.
The helicopter began to take off hastily. Although the tank's machine gun fire was inefficient, it still caused some damage to the enemy. It was not just a threat, but actually hit a helicopter.
As long as you can destroy a helicopter, even just one, the meaning is completely different.
If dozens or hundreds of people die in the UK, the matter can be covered up, but if a helicopter is destroyed, it is completely different, because the dead person wearing clothes can be said to have been impersonated, but a helicopter belonging to
A British helicopter was shot down on the outskirts of Baghdad. If there is wreckage, there is irrefutable evidence.
No matter who cooperated with Freewind, after shooting down a helicopter, the British who made this decision had a headache.
"Destroy a tank! The enemy has begun to flee. Do you need to pursue it and destroy it?"
Serkin's voice rang again, and Gao Yi said without hesitation: "Hit, at least knock out the tank!"
Whoever helps the free wind will have to pay the price.
If Gao Yi can't handle Free Style now, why can't he handle the thugs that Free Style seeks?
"Understood, kill the tank."
Serkin didn't say anything, but Feng Biao waited for Serkin to finish and said hurriedly: "Fire one shot! The machine gun can't shoot down the helicopter! Move a little to the left, then a little more...fire!"
The parallel machine gun of the tank gun originally played a guiding role for the tank gun. As long as it is within the direct range, the artillery shells can also hit wherever the machine gun can hit. This kind of tactics was very common during World War II, but now it is used
It's just gone.
But it can be used now.
The machine gun fired back and forth, and when the bullets could hit the helicopter body, Feng Biao gave the decisive order.
The loader fired decisively.
The shot hit immediately, and the helicopter was instantly hit by an armor-piercing bullet. Because the helicopter has almost no armor at all, the armor-piercing bullets aimed at tanks cannot exert their maximum power, but a helicopter that has been hit by a gunshot cannot take off again no matter what.
.
"Hit!"
Feng Biao was very happy.
Although other helicopters took off one after another and flew away quickly, it was impossible to shoot them down again, but it was still powerful enough to hit a helicopter with a tank without a sighting instrument.
Feng Biao shouted: "We are the ace crew!"
The standard for an ace pilot is to shoot down and damage five aircraft, and the standard for an ace crew is to destroy five tanks and armored vehicles.
Now three armored vehicles and one helicopter seem not to be enough for an ace crew.
But Feng Biao quickly said: "One helicopter can carry two armored vehicles. We are the ace crew."
Donkey suddenly said: "No! One tank, three armored vehicles, and one helicopter. We may not be the ace crew, but the Wind Rider is definitely the ace...the ace..."
What's the trump card? It's hard to say.
With Donkey's wealth of knowledge, he couldn't even come up with a suitable term at the moment.
After thinking for a moment, Donkey said seriously: "We are the ace crew, and Windrunner is the god. He smashed a tank with a hammer and captured another tank, so he is...the hammer god!"
By this time, the radio had picked up Serkin and the others.
So when Feng Biao and Luzi were thinking about what name to give Gao Yian, Serkin suddenly said: "Are you stupid or did I hear wrongly and smashed a tank with a hammer?"
Chapter completed!
