Chapter 1418: For nothing

"Bombard, shell, give me desperate shelling." Major General Brinnita of the division was really desperate. Under his order, more than a dozen howitzers of the division's artillery battalion were desperately firing, with the intention of adding a few chips to the battlefield more than ten kilometers away.
When the leading armored unit of the First Division attempted to win the town of 'Tikepo' outside Merida, Major General Brinita who commanded the division received an anti-tank mine from the front for help in the town. , Anti-tank missiles, and light rocket launchers constitute a tight firepower network that cannot be attacked at all.
More than a dozen six or three rocket launchers fired more than a hundred shells in one breath, covering a large area. Within this area were forty-five tanks and more than a dozen armored vehicles.
At this time, it depends on the probability.
Or to see whose face is darker!
For an armored tank, maybe more than a hundred shells did not even hit a fart. There is no guarantee that the unlucky shells will be missed or even hit directly.
At this time, the most unfortunate was the ordinary infantry soldiers who came down from the infantry fighting vehicle and the armored transport vehicle to fight on foot. Several hundred people were smashed by this bullet rain, and they were injured.
There are anti-tank minefields of unknown density in the past, and occasionally there are anti-tank missiles fired by sub-coolers, and the infantry who follow them cannot rush up. At this time, the entire armored unit could only stop at the spot and fire at the town, while seeking rear gun support.
The intensive exchange of fire began, and the lead M60A3 was on the front line of the entire battle. Its 105mm caliber tank gun was loaded with grenades and became a fierce fixed firepower point.
The gunner who operated the artillery was constantly looking for anti-tank firing positions in the direction of the town. His eyes were in front of the scope, and every time he stepped on the launch pedal, he would yell "Fuk".
The M68 tank gun has high accuracy and fast rate of fire. One shell can be fired in a few seconds. Each time it can destroy an arranged missile position. During the shooting, this tank became the target of the anti-tank team in the town, and one missile after another was fired.
But these missiles are often confused by the smoke bombs that burst from time to time, or blocked by the explosive reaction armor hanging on the tank.
There was a loud noise, and the head of the commander who was looking for the target on the command tower was struck by the shocked head and the car body. This is a missile that hits the turret. The reaction armor explodes and cuts off the missile's metal jet to prevent it from penetrating the main armor of the tank.
He was hit hard by a missile, and the crew inside the tank was fiercely beaten. The captain quickly found the missile position that attacked him, and the gunner turned the turret and quickly gave the opponent a shot.
The grenade fired hit the target accurately again, and how pleasant the explosion of smoke and dust looked. This is even more so that the morale of this tank car group is bursting and the combat power is improved.
But in more than 20 dozen rounds of artillery shells, the anti-tank firepower in the town seemed to be endless. The commander in charge couldn't help but sigh: "This is really a bandit, bandit! They don't even fear death, they keep coming out."
After playing for a little while, the loader was panting. Although the 105-mm cannonball is not multiple, it can be carried in a narrow tank turret for a short time, carrying more than 20 rounds. After a short pause, I feel tired.
The point is that there is no end to this?
The captain kept ‘finding the target’, and the gunner kept shouting ‘destroy the target and look for the next opponent’. Twenty times back and forth, the breathless loader could not help but shouted, "Let the infantry go up to occupy the battlefield, let's go on like this, the shells are almost gone!"
Yeah, the M60A3 only had sixty rounds. This blink of an eye was a third away. However, the opposite position was still fighting back, and there was no sign of slump. When will this be finished?
But the infantry came up to occupy the position, and the rocket gun hidden in the tunnel opposite to the cover immediately fired. If you want to suppress the rocket artillery, the direct-view tank gun is useless. It must be a rear howitzer. However, the howitzer has been smashed for a long time, and it is useless to take the opponent's complete fortifications.
The offensive armored forces attempted a detour to find other weak spots to break through. Except that two armored vehicles were bombed by anti-tank mines, it was not cheap at all. In addition, after the troops were dispersed, they were even more inaccessible.
Such a small town is like a hard walnut.
The original assault operation became a war of attrition. The armoured forces should have used maneuverability to open a breach on the battlefield and tear the front, but now they are trapped in one place.
Over time, the tank's smoke bombs quickly ran out, and the anti-armor was exploded to seven or eight. Each M60A3 is like a wolf howling one after another. The appearance is potty and the losses are getting more and more.
The M60A3 at the front of the front was still fierce, and it survived in several rounds of fire. But one of its tracks was broken by a rocket, and there was no way to retreat on its own.
Rear Major General Brenita finally realized the opponent he met. His artillery battalion had reached the limit of the barrel's hotness, and there was no way to fire at all, only one or two rounds per minute. This ignition support cannot shake the opponent's determination of resistance at all.
"Let the armored unit withdraw." Major General said helplessly, this attrition battle is extremely unfavorable to him, how to fight how to lose.
When the order was passed to the front, the active armored unit quickly evacuated. On the battlefield, several vehicles with damaged tracks could not walk. The M60A3, which was just so fierce, was dumbfounded because they couldn't get away.
The sound of artillery on the battlefield is becoming sparse and less and less. The command of the commander on the radio was to withdraw the tank after bombing the tank. But no one told the crew how to withdraw?
"Hell, have we been abandoned like this?" The commander looked around through the sight glass, and finally found that in the entire battlefield, except for the vehicles that had been completely destroyed, only himself was left.
The cannon had been filled, but the gunner, who had just been playing hot, had no intention to step on the launch pedal. He looked at the captain and asked, "What should we do? Drill out of the turret and immediately escape on foot? What if the enemy hits us with a rocket gun?"
The tired loader couldn't speak at all when he spoke. He shook his head and said, "You can still run, but I feel weak in breathing, and I can't even run."
After a while, the tanks supporting each other ran out of the M60A3. However, they failed to run a distance of 500 meters, and were surrounded by the soldiers of the security forces who came out to clean the battlefield.
The crew members were brought back to their tank again ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Four tank crew members were ordered to stand in a row against the tank. At this time, there are still reporters from the field to come up to take pictures.
Looking at the muzzles around, the leader of the car was no longer as fierce as he was a while ago, but instead sullenly shouted, "Can you tell me before you kill me, how many anti-tank teams are you in the town?"
After the photo was taken, an officer of the security forces approached and looked at the four prisoners. On the captain's question, he said lightly: "I prepared fifty anti-armor teams."
"It's impossible. There are more than thirty teams destroyed by our fleet. There are definitely more than a hundred of you firing anti-tank missiles." The captain of the tank crew shouted unconvinced.
The officer of the KSA sneered: "Although the anti-tank missile we use is a bit old, its launcher and control device are separated. At most, you have destroyed the launcher and cannot kill our people. And there is nothing else in our position. Some are anti-tank missiles. "
Launch stand and control device separated? Are there still such missiles in this world?
The captain of the captain and the gunner looked dull and aggressive. Then they knew that they had fought for a long time and did not get much success.
