Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 427
The 3 chariots hiding behind took advantage of the chaos in the front and quietly spread behind the enemy lines. Their primary target was the BMP-1 chariot that might be carrying infantry, and they should be dealt with before they put down the infantry.The enemy didn't notice their rear at all, and their attention was all on the front.The tanks calmly turned around the ruins, looking for their own shooting angles.

The battle ahead was extremely sudden, and the Indian tank column lined up in a single column still cannot find the north.The commanders of the armored infantry fighting in the back are still poking their heads above the turret, hoping to grasp the enemy's situation. Although they operate in groups, due to communication problems, it is difficult for them to truly coordinate with the tanks.

Suddenly, deadly fire came from behind, destroying 5 tanks in an instant (at least 2 shells pierced 2 tanks).After the infantry who had been attacked hurriedly got out of the car, they were still in a state of dizziness. It was difficult for them to identify the direction of fire in the stuffy tank-like car. Most people naturally thought that the threat was in the north, so that most of the Indian infantry got out of the car After that, he found the wrong hiding place and completely exposed himself in the dark.

The remote-controlled machine guns of the Chinese tanks, through the low-light night vision device, fired at a very short distance immediately. During the interval between the operation of the automatic loader, they swept the enemy infantry who could not avoid it with the top machine gun.

The barrage of the 12.7mm machine gun fired crazily at such a close range that it knocked about a platoon of enemy infantry flying. , Then the firepower turned to the 35mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun. The armor-piercing projectile easily tore through the weak armor of the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun that could not turn around, and completely destroyed the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun before the enemy turned 360° and returned the 35mm shell.

Then the three tanks pushed directly from behind, exerting great panic and pressure on the entire enemy, and dispersed to the two wings near the wreckage. One of them drove into a collapsed house and found the fighter plane from the gap in the ruins.A T90 with the headlights on in front of it obviously couldn't find the target. It probably knew that there was firepower from the rear, but the car body was too close to the wall on the left, so the tank could only take a lot of trouble from the opposite side. direction to rotate the barrel.Naturally, the Chinese tankers would not leave any chance for the enemy. The turret of this chariot almost only turned a few degrees, and it aimed at the enemy who was still 60 degrees away, and fired at the weakest rear hull. Destroy the broken T90.Now the enemy is completely passive, completely confused about the situation he is facing.

He Fan has been controlling the entire battle through inter-vehicle communication.He guessed that the enemy was in a panic, which would soon turn into despair, because the enemy could not know their numbers and positions, and would definitely overestimate their own strength.

"08, I saw that the enemy turned their guns, but not all of them."

A chariot at the rear reported the news, which was the result He Fan wanted. The enemy couldn't care about the whole thing, and couldn't find the key point of the battlefield at all.You can repeatedly attack in two directions to consume the enemy's strength.

"You retreat a little, it's my turn."

The No. 08 tank slowly drove out of the street corner and moved towards the front of the enemy, while the No. 07 tank was still sneaking close to the building, secretly protecting the 08's flank.In the early tactical drills, He Fan liked to take the No. 07 tank commander to coordinate operations, because the tank he commanded could always understand the intention at the first time, and then find the most insidious and tricky position to fight fiercely. bite the opponent.

"07, let me distract the enemy's attention. You look for fighter planes by yourself, and knock out at least one."

"07 understands."

The commander of the No. 07 tank knew that after this round, the enemy's numerical advantage should be gone, but the enemy has become a frightened bird, and it is not easy to sneak attack. If there is no unexpected position, it may not be easy to find a flaw.He turned the observation mirror and saw a high ground in the center of the shack area, with a crooked house on the slope.Just now he thought it was the local people who piled up garbage, but now he doesn't think it's like it. The local area is hilly, and there are often some small hills in urban areas.

He adjusted the navigation display and guessed it was a local Hindu temple.This position gives roughly control of the street, but is also vulnerable to flanking infantry fire.

"Let's go, let's drive up to give the enemy a surprise."

"I don't know if this mound can hold our weight."

"You'll know if you go up there?"

He Fan moved forward slowly all the way, the barrel was deflected to the right - that was the direction of the enemy.He knew that the enemy's long queue blocking the street should be very close to the house, and the enemy should have known about his coming, and there were at least two cannons facing this street corner, so it seemed a bad idea to attack rashly.He was determined to wait until the enemy made a mistake. In principle, the enemy was being flanked back and forth, and of course it was easier to make mistakes.

Suddenly there was a loud noise, and a wall on the side collapsed. The enemy couldn't bear the fear in his heart, and opened fire on the house first, and the shells simply flew away against the turret.It cannot be said that the enemy's shooting has no chance at all, but the No. 08 tank is indeed one size smaller than their supervisor estimated.

The fighter plane appeared suddenly, of course we couldn't let it go.Before He Fan could call, the gunner had already started to turn the turret quickly, and the enemy tank that missed it also started to reverse desperately, but it couldn't be faster than the speed of the No. 08 turret.

During this time, the enemy's side-by-side machine guns were firing crazily. Such horizontal shooting would inevitably delay automatic reloading, which showed how panicked the enemy was.Bullets crackled and hit No. 08.He Fan had no choice but to reverse the Zhou Sight to prevent the precious optical equipment from being hit in the front. These things cannot be repaired by Lin Huaisheng's mechanical repair team at the front.But he knew that there was no need to look, the blow was bound to succeed, and in a close-range tank battle, the side that fired rashly and missed would have to pay the heaviest price.

With a loud bang, the enemy's machine gun fire stopped. There was a faint smell of gunpowder smoke in the No. 08 turret, and He Fan immediately turned to Zhou Shiyi.I suddenly saw the hole pierced by the armor-piercing projectile on the front of the enemy turret, just below the laser range finder. It is estimated that the gunner's life is in danger. At the same time, the dazzling lights on the enemy tank dimmed. Obviously, the power inside the vehicle has been cut off, but the enemy vehicle It never burned.To be on the safe side, No. 08 started reversing - to prevent the enemy's commander from overshooting and shooting.

But the enemy's turret was stuck there, and it obviously had no power to turn.The muzzles of the two sides confronted each other at a distance of 50 meters for a few seconds. During this period, the No. 08 gunner slightly adjusted the line of sight downward in anticipation of the second detonation of the ammunition.I heard the second shell being pushed into the chamber, and then the slightly raised barrel began to move, merging the firing lines.

I saw the top cover on the opposite side was lifted, and a figure slowly crawled out, obviously seriously injured.He Fan signaled the gunner to wait for a while, and waited until the man jumped off the tank before ordering the firing of shells, completely destroying the No. 4 tank in the enemy team. So far, the tank company has been wiped out by more than half. He guessed the enemy's company commander There is a great possibility that the car is between the 2nd and 4th cars, which should have been eliminated, and as he just promised, our side has not lost so far.

The enemy T90 in the rear no longer hesitated, and suddenly started to move forward, as if seeking a decisive battle.Facing enemies on both sides, they must decisively break through from one direction. They finally figured out this truth.

No. 08 raised the gun barrel slightly to complete a series of shell ejection and automatic loading actions, but He Fan heard the sound of the drive belt of the automatic loading machine hissing and exhausting, which was a bit abnormal; There is a problem that the bomb lifting action is not in place when starting and reversing, and the reliability is not as good as similar equipment on heavy tanks. He Fan has driven this tank for more than a thousand hours, and he can hear some bad signs with his ears. He guessed It means that this reload will be a few seconds later, and now is not the time to fight fiercely with the enemy.

"07, the enemy bike is speeding up, let's shoot the first one first."

Before the words fell, I saw the T90S rushing out under the cover of the wreckage of the three tanks lying across the joint.

The enemy tank suddenly stopped, the body was still leaning forward under the action of inertia, and the gun barrel had already started to turn to No. 08. This time, the enemy caught the time difference by relying on some mechanical problems of No. 08.

He Fan had a quick eye, and immediately manipulated the top machine gun to shoot at the gunner's scope in front of the target. This was almost the most effective counterattack method he could find.A loud noise reached He Fan's ears through the turret, and the enemy's turret was blown up into the sky; for the first time, He Fan thought in astonishment that his 12.7mm machine gun had hit something vital?Immediately reason told him that this was impossible.

"08, you can retreat now, the last two targets are within my shooting range. I'll round them up."

"Your current location?" He Fan was a little surprised, he didn't know there was such an ambush nearby.From the monitor, it can only be seen that the position of No. 07 is on the flank.

"I'm up there."

The driver of No. 07 was condescending, overlooking the entire street.From the beginning to the end of this street, a large number of enemy combat vehicles are burning, and the flames illuminate the entire street.Farther to the north, the enemy tanks seemed to have crossed the railway and were engaged in a fierce battle. The commander had no intention of looking north.He guides the gunner to a limited number of targets and launches an attack.

The last two T2 tanks sandwiched in the middle, one barrel forward, one backward, squeezed into a pile.The turret was still turning slightly back and forth horizontally in an attempt to control the shooting range within the field of vision. This kind of interdependent battle between trapped beasts seemed to have no major flaws.But they didn't expect that No. 90 was in the top position.In this tricky position, only this kind of chariot can use larger high and low shots to shoot, and if the enemy commander does not stick his head out, it is not easy to find.

The gunner of No. 07 controls the liquid-pneumatic suspension system of the car body to adjust the forward tilt of the car body to the greatest extent.Then fire at an unprepared target.The shell came from obliquely above, easily penetrated the side turret, and immediately caused a fire. The burning gunner screamed and climbed out of the hatch and rolled to the ground. Before the heavy rain had time to extinguish the fire, the gunner had already fallen into the water It doesn't move.

The last T90 was still blankly searching for the enemy's firepower point in the dark, and at the same time backed up, expecting to make a retreat, but the time left for it was only a few seconds for the No. 07 tank to reload. Captain No. 07 relaxed a little, he felt that things had become extremely simple.

In the darkness of the moon and the rain, an infantry unit quietly approached the No. 07 tank from below.They are carrying out Xue Xiaoyan's task of disrupting the enemy's rear to buy time for the troops to completely withdraw from Sudingia.An hour earlier, this small unit had just raided the negligently defended headquarters of the 4th Armored Brigade, damaging a command tank, but was held back by the enemy and was unable to return in time.

The continuous shooting of No. 07 obviously attracted this army.The platoon leader did not know that there were still tanks of his own side in action in this area. All the pre-battle briefings and communications did not mention that his side would have heavy weapons to fight. An enemy tank, although it looks different from the Indian T90.

"Hit his chassis first, so that Guizi can't move." The platoon leader wiped the rain from his face and said, "Guzi is quite good at picking places, so let him suffer."

The platoon leader knows that the power of the PF89 is limited. Even if it penetrates the armor, it is difficult to kill all personnel with a weak jet. It is better to destroy the power and action mechanism at the rear of the chassis and stop the enemy in place. For the task he has received to delay the enemy's maneuvering In other words, this is the most reasonable way.

"How to deal with some enemy tanks around?"

"I can't control it anymore. I will place all the mines on the road later to block them, and then we will withdraw from the west."

All he had left was an 80mm rocket and a few mines.

While No. 07 was shooting continuously with great enthusiasm, a soldier quietly ran to a place not far below, occupied a flank position, took advantage of a flash of light to illuminate the tank on the hill, and decisively fired the rocket.

Unbiased, the rocket just hit the outer skirt, and then penetrated the weakest part of the engine partition. The jet directly cut off the external oil circuit, and then destroyed the fan and the upper casing from bottom to top.

It is difficult for most of the rockets on the battlefield to completely destroy a tens of tons of tanks, but this time, he did it.

The engine of No. 07 stopped momentarily and lost power.The captain noticed something was wrong and immediately ordered a restart.During this period, the gunner still made a precise blow and completely killed the last T90S.But then, the crew discovered how serious the problem was, and the tank was in dire straits.
