Chapter 4187: Roadside bomb

"No, I am more thoughtful than you think. But I am more timid than you." The actuary shook his head.
"It is better to be cautious than timid. You have always been more reliable in this regard. This is why I insist on keeping you by my side. In fact, perhaps you will have better development if you stay in Black Island." Lin Rui sighed.
"Boss! Alert, alert!" Kuaima rushed in from the outside and said loudly.
"What's the matter?" Lin Rui immediately opened his sleeping bag and quickly stood up.
"The news from Keben shows that the enemy has started to move." Kuaima said in a low voice, "The enemy had already started action five minutes ago. Judging from their marching position, it is exactly the same as our previous prediction.
The enemy's 1st and 2nd Armored Independent Regiments approached Vitambool from two directions, and at their current full speed, they are expected to arrive within three hours. "
"In other words, we still have three hours to prepare." Lin Rui glanced at his watch quickly, "Notify Smara’s people to prepare for an air attack. If the enemy’s armored units will arrive in three hours, then the enemy The army’s air strike force should be one to two hours ahead of their troops to carry out a full-scale air strike on Smara."
"What are we going to do here?" Kuaima whispered.
"No, wait. After another hour, notify all the troops to enter the alert state. Let the troops enter the previously arranged positions and let the artillery troops be ready." Lin Rui replied.
"Don't you inform the troops now?" Kuaima hesitated.
"The enemy has three hours to arrive. Entering the alert state too early will cause the troops to become unnecessarily slack. It is just right to notify the troops two hours in advance. After all the response work is ready, the enemy will arrive." Lin Rui replied.
Two hours later, the sirens sounded loudly, and all Vitambol's troops entered a state of emergency combat readiness. All the troops entered their own combat positions, and the artillery troops were ready to go. All the preparatory work was already in place, and the troops began to enter a state of preparation in an orderly manner.
At 8:10 in the morning, the peace in the suburbs of Vitambool was broken. The Moroccan tanks approached Vitambool.
The tank group assembled outside the town of Vitambool. The Moroccan commander observed Vitambool with a telescope. "This town is very peaceful. Doesn't it mean that Vitambool has been occupied by the rebels?"
"Maybe they are all concentrated in Smara at the moment, Vitambool is just a small town, and the Western Sahara rebels are more concerned about Smara." Another officer replied.
"Usually mobs, they don't know the importance of Vitambol. As long as we take this town, we can intersperse behind them and cut off their way directly." The Moroccan commander shook his head and said, "They are. The typical militia guerrilla thinking only knows about occupying big cities, but does not know the strategic significance of Vitambool.
Inform the troops to quickly take Vitambol, regardless of resistance, we must take Vitambol within an hour. I feel that they should not give up Vitampor, at least they will deploy a certain number of troops in Vitampor.
Order our troops to search forward in group formations, and be careful to ambush. "
Under the orders of the Moroccan commander, the armored forces quickly formed a group formation, with two armored vehicles and a tank, and the infantry coordinated to enter the town of Vitambool.
At first they did not encounter any resistance at all, and the entire Vitambol seemed to be asleep. Except for the chirping of birds on the branches in the early morning, the whole area was silent.
In this way, the two armored vehicles and one tank responsible for opening the road easily entered the town. But then they discovered that several main roads in the town were very congested. A lot of ruins exist, and it is impossible to allow the chariots to pass side by side.
Their group formation was forced to change into one line, moving forward slowly under the cover of infantry. "No abnormality was found, you can pass." An infantry whispered through the walkie-talkie.
A guard armored vehicle cleared the road ahead, followed by a dozen infantrymen. Behind it was a tank that followed, and then another armored car. But when they first entered the town road, a violent explosion broke the calm.
An armored reconnaissance vehicle led by it triggered a roadside bomb. The violent explosion impact immediately overturned the armored vehicle. At the same time, many infantrymen were killed.
This incident caused a panic in the Moroccan army. "What the is going on? Report the situation!" the Moroccan commander said loudly.
"It's a roadside bomb, sir." The reconnaissance unit in front reported, "We did not find the enemy. Our armored reconnaissance vehicle encountered a roadside bomb, etc...It seems to be specially used to deal with tanks. An armored cone-shaped hollow bomb."
The explosive energy of ordinary explosives is released in all directions, and this conical charging method can concentrate the energy of the explosion in one direction to produce a high-temperature and high-pressure concentrated energy flow.
If a funnel-shaped charge cover made of metal is added to the cone of the explosive, the energy of the explosive after the explosion will completely act on the hollow funnel charge cover. The metal used to make the charge was quickly melted and closed, and was compressed into a high temperature and high pressure metal jet by the energy of the explosive.
The fastest speed can reach 7,000 to 10,000 meters per second, the temperature can reach 1,100 degrees, not to mention the high pressure, plus the metal itself, ordinary tank armor encounters this kind of impact, just like mud under a high-pressure water gun. .
The adjectives such as breaking the bamboo, rushing down, opening the door and so on are just for it.
Even more frightening is that the metal jet will not rest on the spot after the armor is broken, it will continue to move forward at high speed, coupled with the splashing effect after the armor is broken, the next thing is to destroy the equipment in the car and kill the occupants, if it hits the shell or fuel tank , The result is that the fuel tank caught fire and the ammunition exploded. Produce a secondary killing effect.
This type of bomb is the LED roadside bomb that once made the US military fearful, and it is a type specifically used to deal with armored vehicles.
The commander of the Moroccan army was surprised and said, "Anti-armored roadside bombs? No enemy, only bombs?"
"Yes, no enemy has been found so far. One of our armored reconnaissance vehicles has been completely destroyed, and several soldiers have been killed. Are we going to move on? Sir." The previous reconnaissance unit reported.
"Of course we must keep going, but be careful, slow down as much as possible, and be careful of anti-tank mines and roadside bombs. These Western Saharans are very cunning, and we cannot fall into their trap. Order the troops to slow down and search forward." Morocco The commander ordered.
