787 The Dragon Guard Under the Yellow Sand
"This is impossible!" Mubashar had no idea that the other party could fire more than them.
They say that they are proficient in operation. Although they have not used the Dragon Guard tank for longer than the opponent, they do not think that the opponent will be more proficient than them.
From the Dragon Guard tank to the Tikrit Division and after arriving at the Mubashar regiment, these tanks did not stop much during the maintenance period and were always practicing hard.
The operation of the Dragon Guard tank is much simpler than other tanks, especially after having a computer as an auxiliary aiming tool, many operations are even fool-like.
Only in the fast moving battlefield, some artificial operations are needed to correct it. At some point, computers cannot keep up with human thinking speed or even intuition.
"Boom boom boom!" A series of shell landings exploded in the tank team of the First Battalion of the Revolutionary Guards that was scattering wildly.
At least 10 shells were dropped at the original location of the No. 111 tank, but most of them were high-explosive bombs, rather than tank battalions led by Ansar and others. Most of them were tail shell-piercing armor-piercing bombs imported from China.
Generally speaking, there are two or even three types of ammunition in tanks, and at least two types of ammunition are automatically loaded, one is armor-piercing bomb and the other is high-explosive bomb. The Iranians found that their tanks are mainly used to bombard the enemy's tanks. In this process, high-explosive bombs are basically of little use when facing advanced tanks with thick skin and thick flesh, so they are not as good as using armor-piercing bombs.
Of course, some tanks are equipped according to standard equipment, some of which are high-explosive bombs and some of which are armor-piercing bombs.
Since its establishment, the First Battalion has not yet used support for positional warfare. Therefore, all equipped armor-piercing bombs.
Iraqis don't know anything about this.
They still had ammunition equipment according to the standard. Although the first wave of attacking dozens of shells fell into the middle of the Iranian tank cluster, they did not produce much effect.
If it was not landed in the middle of the tank track, even the track could not be blown up.
High-explosive bombs rely on shrapnel to kill.
"Enemy attack..." Through the captain's viewing scope, Mubashar saw a sharp shell-breaking and magnifying continuously in the viewing scope, and then slammed on the front armor of the tank turret. Before he could react, he thumped again, and the entire tank shook!
"Captain!" A tank around him saw this scene. An exclamation suddenly sounded in the communication channel.
"Don't panic, we're fine!" When I saw that the display screen and the various indicator lights on the operating table did not show any fault alarms, Mubashar immediately shouted at the panicked group communication channel.
Logically, as a commander of a regiment, he commanded more than 200 most advanced tanks. He should be in the command vehicle behind him, rather than sitting in the command tank like a battalion commander. However, the resentment in Mubashar's heart is too deep.
The Chinese tanks are indeed not blown.
In terms of defense, it is not bad. If this is t72, it will definitely be destroyed.
"Kill them for me! Shoot freely and shoot out all the shells in the bullet bay!" Since the defense is very strong and both sides have the same defense, it depends on the attack power.
Moreover, the attack power is almost the same, it depends on who inputs the attack power faster and stronger.
Obviously, the other side only has more than thirty tanks.
With the order of the regiment commander, more than 70 tanks that had already opened fire began to move again. This time, there was no unified command. Several tanks were looking for targets to open fire.
After the tank guns spewed out flames, there was a violent roar, while the Iranian tanks in the distance were doing various maneuvering actions and rushed towards this side quickly.
"Ceasefire! Ceasefire!" When the first shell was shot out, it basically left no control.
Although the effective range of armor-piercing bombs can reach a longer distance, the greatest power is within a range of two kilometers.
The Ankara Battalion has always annihilated the enemy in movement, and it also attacked the bombing as a sharp knife when fighting in tank positions. The past interlude was at a distance of no more than three kilometers.
Therefore, when he realized it, he immediately realized the problem and immediately ordered the entire battalion to cease fire.
"The distance is too far, assault! Get closer!"
Under the command of the battalion commander, even when facing twice the number of tanks of the same type, the entire first battalion rushed towards the Iraqi tank position on the opposite side.
Amid the rumbling guns, more than 30 tanks rushed forward frantically in the 125mm high-explosive bomb explosion and the splashing mud and sand, and the distance was constantly getting closer.
"Battery Commander, the opponent's tanks are too many. Should we call for support from the rear?" The young communications officer thought that the battalion commander and battalion deputy were simply dying. Once they got entangled, they could not evacuate at all.
Without the protection of the armored forces that fight together, and without the coordinated infantry that prevents enemy infantry from approaching, the entire army may be wiped out.
"Did you see the other party's armored car?" Ankara was also stunned.
Casa's crazy driving made the entire tank bumpy. Even with a very powerful suspension system, it would not be able to sit safely inside the tank.
Of course, if this is not the case, the enemy's shells will be smashed on the tank.
"No……"
"Boom!" Above the engine behind the turret of the No. 111 tank, a shell exploded directly on the surface of the tank, interrupting the communication officer's words.
"The Iraqi Dragon Guard tank troops appeared behind, with more than two battalions!"
Finally, someone discovered something wrong behind while moving to the side, and dozens of tanks had emerged from behind...
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The tanks in the rear were also firing wildly, with the distance between the two sides being less than four kilometers, but they were still high-explosive bombs.
These high-explosive bombs exploded around the rapidly moving Revolutionary Guard tanks, and some even exploded on the body of the tank or on the top of the turret. The tanks that seemed messy but had a vague layout were smashed into pieces.
The shells that exploded on the body of the tank did not have a great impact on the tank. The Dragon Guard's defensive armor was durable. This is what many people know.
However, the ground of the fast-moving tanks is uneven. A series of shells exploded on the side of the tank. In an instant, several tanks advancing at the maximum speed overturned under the inertia and the violent shock waves generated by the explosion!
"Not good, I am ambushed! Retreat!"
In less than thirty seconds, more than four tanks had been blown up or had their tracks broken and their crawlers lay down. Ankara never thought about such a situation.
He never thought that the other party would mobilize a regiment of tanks to encircle and annihilate one of his battalions.
"Send a message to the headquarters and ask for support!" Ankara was a madman. But she was not a fool. This was clearly the other party's conspiracy. "People should pay attention and raid from the left! Greet them with black arrows!"
The distance of armor-piercing bullets is too far. It is not suitable for attacking at such a distance.
Moreover, at the beginning, the engine power input of the tanks opposite them was not high enough, and infrared-guided black arrow anti-tank missiles could not find the target very well. It was even possible that they would be detonated on such a battlefield due to the flames generated when the shells exploded.
Although these missiles were later improved by the Chinese and equipped with inertial guidance, the effect was not very good.
The tanks behind were different. They probably had a lot of armor-piercing bombs installed to narrow the distance between them, so they rushed towards them while firing the cannon.
To the south is Horamshahr.
In that area, there was a revolutionary guard team of more than 100,000 people and a gathering of many advanced weapons and equipment.
"Roar up. Surround them and fill in the gap in the north, don't let them run away!" Mubashar saw that the second battalion that was bypassing from the side had appeared behind the enemy, and the enemy's escape direction was exactly where their third battalion was ambushed. As long as the opponent ran forward for several kilometers, the tanks emerging from the ground would completely lose their chance to escape.
"Preparing for black arrows to fire, don't have coordinates, pay attention to avoiding the enemy's shells! Shoot them all!" In the current environment, you don't care about anything else and can't leave any more missiles for emergency response.
If you look at it from heaven, you can see the current dilemma facing Ankara Camp.
Five or six kilometers west of the First Battalion are more than 70 tanks from the First Battalion and the regiment headquarters of the Mubashar regiment, and about 4 kilometers west, more than 60 tanks from the Second Battalion are rushing towards this side.
About ten kilometers south is the ambush place where the 3rd Battalion of the Mubashar regiment is buried. All the tanks are buried in the yellow sand. There are wooden boards that were made at the beginning lying in front of the tank tracks so that the tanks can crawl out of the yellow sand. In this way, the Mubashar regiment has also practiced such experiments many times during training in Iraq, otherwise they would not have taken this method rashly today.
The tank's engine was running at maximum power. The black smoke released by the incomplete combustion of diesel mixed with yellow dust. In addition, many tanks kept releasing smoke bombs, the area soon became a little hazy.
Before an enemy tank was destroyed, Iran had already lost 6 tanks, and the entire battalion had only 27 left. The open combat power comparison on the battlefield had become 1:6. If you were facing t72 or t54/55, Ankara would be confident that he would escape with his remaining troops, but the opposite side was the same Dragon Guard as them.
His heart had already sunk to the bottom.
"... Ask for support, we were surrounded by the Dragon Guard tanks of an Iraqi regiment... Ask for support..." The communications officer had forgotten his duties as the commander of the car. Kasa observed the situation outside through the driver's observation position, and his hands and feet were not paused at all.
Ankara was constantly looking for opportunities, preparing to use tank guns to kill a few enemies first to relieve some pressure.
"call out!"
The first black arrow flew towards the tank that surrounded them on the east side. Then, a series of black arrow missiles broke out from the tank, and white smoke and flames flew into the distance from the tail.
"Boom!" A missile just popped out of the launch frame and was about to ignite, a shell exploded at the top of the turret.
"Boom!" Before the missile was fully ignited, it exploded directly. Under the influence of the explosion's shock wave, the armor-piercing bomb flew towards a tank next to it, and inserted it straight on the side skirting board of a Longwei tank less than five meters away...
"Boom!" A dull explosion sounded, and the tank hit by the armor-piercing bombs fired by his friendly forces suddenly vibrated, and then he could no longer move forward!
The turret weighing more than ten tons was not blown away, and the entire tank soon burst out with black smoke.
The hatch on the top of the turret was opened, and an Iranian soldier with a helmet on his head caught out, pushing the helmet on his head frantically, slapping the growing flames on his body from time to time, then rolling to the ground from the top of the tank with screams.
The second person who came out was completely surrounded by flames. He had just turned half of his body out of the cockpit and was unable to climb up any further...
Death Explosion!
The person who saw this scene immediately had this idea in his mind.
The Dragon Guard Tank has major flaws that they have not discovered yet!
Even if the shells and fuses are separated, the power of dozens of fuses explosions in a small space is definitely not small.
However, no one paid attention to this at this time, and escaping is what they should do now.
"Don't launch missiles! Repeat, don't launch missiles!" After another tank was hit by a comrade-in-arms because of the black arrow missile launched by its own people, Ankara hurriedly ordered all the units.
The main method of black arrows is infrared guidance!
At this moment, many missiles rushed directly to the positions of the shells that had just exploded, and the tank tracks around the bomb explosion point were broken by the missile's tandem warhead!
"Look at where you are running away!" Mubashar kept staring at the escaped tanks. There was an armor-piercing bomb nailed to the tank turret where he was, which made him no longer dare to go forward, but kept wandering on the edge to command the battle.
The Third Battalion, which had been ambushing in the sand, had been dispatched. When there were less than three kilometers, he immediately gritted his teeth and ordered the Third Battalion to attack!
Seeing that the tanks surrounding them on both sides had already been far away and were about to escape from the encirclement, Ankara's uneasiness had just risen when she heard Kasa's terrified curse: "Bastar, these Iraqis also ambushed the tanks here, and there are their tanks underneath..."
Looking outside, the originally calm ground was raising upwards. Soon, the thick gun barrel of the Dragon Guard tank drilled out of the sand. Slowly, the entire tank's turret began to appear in the sight of the First Battalion of the Revolutionary Guards...
"It's over..." This is Ankara's only idea.
Chapter completed!
