The tank continued to move forward for a few meters and stopped. The four crew members inside were already stunned by the huge explosion.

A tank following behind braked suddenly. At the same time, when the danger of collision was still unavoidable, the driver urgently pulled the operating lever in his hand, the track on the left stopped moving, and the track on the right The tracks were still turning, and the 55-ton T-[-] made a beautiful sharp turn.

It's a pity that there was another loud bang after that, and they planned to pass by the bombed tank, but in the end, unfortunately, they were caught.

However, with the encounter between these two tanks, the tank behind had already had enough time to stop.

To put it simply, a pressure mine explodes when there is a certain pressure. For this Type 72 pressure mine imported from a big eastern country, it can be triggered when the pressure is between 180 and 400 kilograms.

(Anti-tank landmines, some say that they will explode only when tanks are pressed on them, and they will not explode when people step on them. , People are definitely not stationary, but if they step on it quickly and stop, then there will be a problem of overweight. A bloody example, in the 180s of the Eastern Power, when an instructor was explaining this kind of anti-tank landmine, Speaking of this kind of landmine does not harm the infantry, and, as an example, he stepped on it. He has always done this before, and there is no problem, but this time, his movements are a bit fast, and as a result, there are no bones left!) Tank, hit a mine!Idli, who came to command the battle this time, heard the news, frowned, and then gave the order: Leave the road and advance from the nearby field!

He didn't know that there were only a few landmines on the road, and the rest were waiting for them on both sides of the road!

After receiving the order, the armored soldiers behind began to reluctantly drive off the road. What comforted them was that there was only a distance of [-] kilometers, and after another two hours of bumping, they would reach their destination.

However, no one thought that just as they were driving down the road, more than a dozen tanks were unfortunately hit.

Is there a minefield here?

Idley shook his head. It's impossible. They made a temporary decision to go along this road. Even if the other party wanted to arrange it, at most they would throw away a few mines in a hurry. They would definitely not set up all of this place as a minefield. of.

Idley knew that his time was running out. If they could not enter the airport before dawn, they would become very passive. He also knew the inside story. If the coup was successful, he would also be promoted, so he had to Take a gamble!

There are no demining tanks in his team, so he can only give a hard order: regardless of the mines on the ground, keep going!

Hearing this order, while cursing in his heart, the armored soldiers began to move on.

However, very smoothly, since they drove off the road, they didn't hit any landmines again, but the bumpy ground slowed down their speed.

"It seems that we have taken the risk to attack, and we must delay their actions." Hades was in an infantry fighting vehicle in the distance, watching those light spots still moving, and made up his mind again.

Chapter 797 Bold and Dangerous Attack

In addition to the SEG anti-tank missile, the Desert Leopard is a 30mm machine gun and a machine gun. When using these weapons to deal with the T-55 tank, only the SEG missile is effective. However, the key problem is that this missile, It can't be used at night, and it is barely used. It has almost no other use except to release beautiful fireworks.

After this battle, President Qusay, who received the battle report, attached great importance to it. Under his leadership, Iraq finally replaced it with advanced second-generation anti-tank missiles.

This has something to do with the design concept of the Desert Leopard, because this kind of infantry fighting vehicle is originally to accompany the armored troops to advance, and naturally there are tanks to act as a direct attack on the opponent's tank. This kind of infantry fighting vehicle cannot compete with tanks head-on. However, it has an advantage that tanks cannot match: high mobility.

The 400-horsepower engine of the Desert Leopard is used to drive the [-]-ton body, and it is the big foot of the tire. When it starts, it accelerates very fast.

The T-55's backward fire control system simply cannot effectively target and shoot the Desert Leopard, which is their cost.

Among the eight fighters loaded in each Desert Leopard, two are carrying bazookas. They can use the bazooka to completely kill the T-55 tank from the side.

Although the rocket launcher's effective range is only a few hundred meters, the infrared headlights behind the opponent's observation distance are only within a few hundred meters. As long as you take a suitable distance, you have a chance to kill the opponent!

When Hades was fighting, sometimes he would act like crazy and put all his eggs in one basket, but after analysis, these actions of his were all determined actions under careful calculation.

Like now!

Idli breathed a sigh of relief, and his troops advanced another five kilometers, but encountered nothing.

It was just a false alarm just now, just a small number of enemies ambushed some landmines there. Think about the dozens of tanks that lost their combat effectiveness and stay there. Only after dawn will there be personnel from the rear rushing to repair them, Yi Deli It's a bit painful, but he still has a strong fighting power, enough to capture that base.

With the ups and downs of the tank, Idli was shaking with the vehicle body. His eyes looked around from the TKH-1 commander's infrared periscope.

I looked around and saw nothing.

After turning off the infrared headlights outside, Idley felt that it was time for him to take a rest. After a while, there were more difficult tasks waiting for him.

They didn't know that, less than 1000 meters away from them, the Iraqi marines, using their existing equipment, started a sneak attack.

They chose to start from the other side's flank, and the two infantry fighting vehicles drove towards each other at high speed.

In the marching state, especially in the process of high-speed cross-country marching, the turret is always forward, so they will not turn the turret for no reason, and they will not find wheeled chariots that have passed from the side.

If they are spotted by the other party, they will immediately turn around and leave at high speed. If the other party does not find out, they will continue to move forward!

How to judge to be discovered by the other party?In fact, it is very simple. As long as you see those infrared headlights moving forward in the infrared imaging night vision device, it proves that the opponent is not prepared. If you suddenly find that the huge light of the infrared headlights is all thrown at them Come over, it proves that the opponent has turned the turret around. At this time, all you can do is one thing: run away!

The shock absorbers on the wheels absorbed part of the bumps, and then the airbag seat on which he was sitting absorbed part of the bumps again. In this way, even though the soldiers were still bumpy, they were already within the tolerable range.

The drivers in front were driving carefully and boldly. If they were really hit by the opponent's artillery, their iron shells would be lifted in one fell swoop.

He drove close to the opponent's flank at a distance of 250 meters, but the opponent still did not find himself.

After carefully advancing for a few kilometers, they found that there were no other mines except those mines. It was their bad luck to be attacked by landmines on the road, but now that they have walked into the wild, it is impossible to have any more mines. And so, they marched boldly.

After such a tiring night, if the commander and gunner kept scanning the left and right, they might have exhausted their energy when they arrived at the air force base. How could they have the ability to continue fighting for a few more hours?

Therefore, almost all tanks have turned off the infrared headlights of the commander and gunner, and only the infrared headlights of the driver are helping the driver to move in the dark night. They only observe the front at a distance of about 60 meters If the road conditions are too high, it will not pay attention to the situation beyond 200 meters to the side.

In this way, Idli's armored force was attacked again.

The two Desert Leopards easily approached to a distance of 200 meters and stopped abruptly. Then, the hatch behind them opened, and two Marines quickly jumped down.

Those are all their prey!

What they carry is not an ordinary rocket launcher, otherwise, such a long guy is very inconvenient in an infantry fighting vehicle. This is a foldable RPG-7A rocket launcher, which is specially used by special forces.

Using the infrared sight attached to the bazooka, watch the tanks moving with the same rhythm, and then the bazooka turns with their bodies, while mentally calculating the lead.Finally, they pulled the trigger.

The passing flames illuminated the black night sky, and the rocket-extended-range armor-piercing shells of the hollow-charge warhead flew towards the unsuspecting tanks.

At this time, only looking at the advancing armored troops, unexpectedly did not find the rockets attacking from the side.

After the launch, the soldiers of the Marine Corps immediately ran back to the infantry fighting vehicle. As soon as they stepped into the tank, the driver stepped up the accelerator and started driving to a distance. The farther the better, the faster he ran The sooner the better.

They did not observe the results of the battle, the results were observed by other vehicles.

The rocket hit the side of the turret of the T-55 accurately, and then, the front warhead began to work. The so-called hollow charge warhead is to make the charge into a hollow cylindrical grain with a tapered hole, and place it on the ground. The metal cover on the surface of the cone-shaped hole charge, after hitting it, the charge column exploded, and the metal close to the charge cover was quickly melted and closed, and was 'pressed' by the energy of the explosive into a high-speed, high-temperature, high-pressure metal jet !

The crew of the T-55 tank only felt the heat flow from the side at this time, but unfortunately, they were no longer allowed to react. This jet shot at an initial velocity of 7000 meters per second, a high temperature of 1100 degrees, and a relatively high pressure. The cast turret is like mud under a high-pressure water gun. The turret of the T-55 was burned through a hole from the side.

The armor thickness of RPG-7 can reach 350 mm, while the thickest part of the T-55 tank turret is only 200 mm, while the side part is only 80 mm thick.

This stream of metal shot through the turret like a bamboo shoot, and then continued to move forward.

After stepping on a landmine, the tank's tracks were broken and unable to move forward. The personnel inside were shaken to pieces, but they were still alive. However, if they were penetrated by rockets, they would not be so lucky. The members inside would be killed. This stream of fire was killed mercilessly. If this stream of fire hit the shells inside again, it would cause secondary damage.

Four rockets destroyed three tanks and one missed the target.

This attack completely shocked the entire armored force in a marching state.

Yidli's body jumped with the body of the car, and he regained his spirits. At this time, he heard a report on the radio that his side was attacked by unknown personnel from the side and lost three tanks!

The reason why they are talking about unknown personnel is because, when other tanks discovered the situation, rotated the turret, and turned on the infrared headlights to search, the two infantry fighting vehicles could no longer be seen within their search range.
