Chapter 4084: Anti-tank battle 3

"We encountered anti-tank mines ahead." The Moroccan army commander was inexplicably irritated by the series of reports. He roared on the radio, "Then get around those minefields."
The report was that the road ahead was narrow. Unable to detour. And in the depth direction, I don't know how many anti-tank mines the enemy has planted.
"Despicable! Despicable!" the Moroccan commander roared. Just as he roared loudly, their armored forces were attacked again.
After being attacked by anti-tank guns and anti-tank mines, they encountered an infantry attack this time. This sounds unbelievable. The armored unit was attacked by infantry. It sounds a bit like a joke.
But the real scene is not funny at all. A large number of Western Sahara infantry appeared in the highlands on both sides of the canyon. They were armed with anti-tank rocket launchers and bombarded the tank troops directly below.
The top of the tank is usually weak, and the condescending anti-tank rocket can easily penetrate the top of the tank's turret. This caused great pressure on the personnel inside the tank.
Moreover, the number of infantry is large, but the target is small. With the help of the special terrain, the head is exposed as a rocket, and it will run when it is finished. The muzzle elevation angle of these tanks and infantry fighting vehicles cannot reach such a height, and they can only rely on anti-aircraft machine guns to counterattack.
Because tank guns are guns that are aimed directly at fire, not indirect, the maximum elevation angle of tank guns is only about ten degrees, and there has never been a tank gun that can raise and point more than twenty degrees.
The tank itself uses thick armor and heavy firepower as its own advantages. If the power of tank artillery cannot be used, the advantage of tanks will be destroyed by more than half.
Only relying on the machine guns installed on the tanks to strike against these infantry has certain defects. Because the anti-aircraft machine gun on the tank, although the elevation angle is large enough, there are problems with the shooting angle.
Because the anti-aircraft machine gun on the tank is mounted on a stand, this stand can be rotated.
The machine gunner, now the tank commander of the three members is usually taken by the commander, standing on his seat in the tank.
So if the turret does not rotate, the machine gun can only shoot at a target about 60 degrees in front of the tank.
And unless you are fighting in a city, you will consider the problem of a large number of enemies at high places, and tanks will install automatic weapon stations. General tank machine guns need to stick their heads out to operate.
And this shooter is usually the captain, in such a chaotic situation, shrapnel is flying everywhere. The captain of the tank was killed, causing more serious problems.
The captain is the captain of a vehicle and is responsible for the combat command and coordination of the entire tank.
To this day, most main battle tanks have a commander overshooting system. The commander uses this system to adjust the gun at a high speed so that the gun is roughly aimed at the target. The remaining precise aiming and firing is the job of the gunner.
Another important task of the captain is communication, using radio stations and chest switches to realize duplex voice communication with superiors or neighbors. With the inter-vehicle information system and the ground navigation/positioning system, the command from the superior, the location of the neighbors, the current fuel quantity of the vehicle, the number of shells, the speed, and the location of the vehicle are all clearly displayed on the commander’s display. On the screen, compared to a single radio station, it can be regarded as "shotgun for gun".
From the viewpoint of observation conditions, the observation condition of the car captain is the best. On the one hand, the commander’s position is the highest, so it is natural to stand tall and see far; on the other hand, the commander’s observation equipment is the most complete. The peripheral vision periscope can perform 360-degree observations, while the other occupants The observation conditions are more or less subject to some restrictions.
Therefore, because of these favorable conditions, the commander has become the most important role in the entire tank. If the captain is killed, first of all, he will suffer a big loss in communication, and other orders to issue azimuth observations are all problems.
The key is that several members of the tank are performing their duties, and only the commander can control the machine gun.
Because the driver wants to drive the tank, the gunner needs to aim for loading and launch. The only person who can control the machine gun to shoot is the captain. And the position of the machine gun is also the position of the commander.
Therefore, in this way of playing, almost the commander of each tank has been adjusted. Rockets flying around, fragments of grenade, and tank captains who controlled machine guns were shot and killed from time to time.
When the captain died, there was another problem with the dispatching communication of the whole vehicle. The Moroccan army was plunged into chaos for a short time.
The Moroccan commander had noticed the problem and immediately asked to withdraw, or to blaze a trail directly forward. But as the two ends continue to have tanks destroyed. As a result, the terrain that was originally not spacious enough was completely blocked.
The wreckage of the bombed tank blocked the canyon from both ends. This armored unit is caught in a dilemma. The continuous sound of explosions showed that several more tanks were opened by anti-tank rocket launchers.
And something more serious happened later, when the Moroccan commander suddenly received a communication from the enemy army.
"What's the situation?" the Moroccan commander exclaimed, "How could the communication system..."
"They broke into our wireless channel." The communicator shouted, "They are calling us."
"Take it for me," the Moroccan commander shouted.
"Call the commander of the Moroccan Army. This is the Western Sahara People's Front. You have been completely surrounded. Give up resistance and get out of the tank. We accept your surrender. We will treat you as prisoners of war in accordance with international practices." sound.
"Despicable. You think this will make us succumb... Do you think this will make us succumb?" the Moroccan commander shouted. "The Royal Moroccan Army will never surrender."
"Everything that is happening now is just appetizers. The real meal I prepared for you is yet to come. You are now desperate and have prepared a lot of napalm for you, if you don't surrender within 5 minutes.
These napalm will fall from the sky, and only a little spark can turn the entire canyon into a sea of ​​fire. I don't know what kind of experience it is to be cooked in a tank?
I believe you will soon understand what this smell is. "The other party threatened." Then you will understand that even if you die here, you are not a hero, but a sinner. You must be responsible for the deaths of so many of your men.
The parents and families of these soldiers will spit at you, and the whole country will spit on you. Because you are disregarding the lives of soldiers for the dignity of your so-called soldiers.
Listen to the general, you only have 5 minutes to think about..."
