Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 527 Jungle Hunting
Yahini couldn't understand the movement of the trailing mechanized infantry company through the display, because he couldn't form an inter-vehicle network with these vehicles, so he turned the commander's observation mirror and found that the infantry fighting vehicle was behind him, and he didn't flinch at all, but it was obviously driven by the powerful The tank dropped some distance.

"It's not bad, it's a good job." He expressed his admiration for the courage of these guys who dared to follow up with a thin steel plate. In fact, there was no sophisticated tactics in this battle. It was a sudden attack that caught the enemy by surprise. The other side naturally takes a lot of advantage.

"Attention all the vehicle crews, they will soon approach the enemy's skirmish line, don't worry about them, just pass through, and let the infantry behind them deal with it."

"Understood boss."

As soon as his words fell, scattered infantry firepower began to shoot out from the simple foxhole in front, which was expected to be weak firepower; he bet that the opponent would deploy the main anti-tank firepower to the front instead of the flanks, if Standing in the opponent's position, he would do such an absolute job. It is difficult for a frontline general who is stable and stable to completely wipe out the enemy. He believed that the Indian commander, like himself, was a desperate type.

Judging from the firepower launched by the enemy, they are still at a loss and have no focus at all. This situation shows that the commander is still in a daze, or is not in sight at all. To delay their reaction time, the best way is to quickly get rid of the commander. department.

There was a bang from the front of the tank, and a rocket was smashed into the air by the armor, and then exploded. It was obviously not a special armor-piercing ammunition.Yahini didn't take it seriously, and instead of using the top machine gun to fight back, he continued to turn the perimeter mirror to search for important targets. This was the only serious thing right now.He believes that the enemy's weak counterattack can be resisted for a while by the armor of this tank, and speed is the most important part of crushing the enemy.

The machine gun bullets crackled and hit the side fender and the road wheel. Such firepower could not damage the tank, but could attract firepower for the lightly armored tanks behind, so that they could deal with the machine gun firepower.

Yahini knows very well without reconnaissance. The Indians will not be better than the Pakistan Army when deploying temporary defense lines. He has broken through many enemy temporary positions. Generally speaking, the Indian trenches will never be dug to chest height. Deep, the company's first-level command post is generally built in the area close to the front, and will be hastily concealed below, but generally the antenna will not be hidden.

"They will definitely put the antenna on the tree, I bet." He turned the surrounding mirror to observe to himself, and he saw a swaying whip antenna on a bare tree branch at the edge of the pine forest. About 10 meters long.Under the tree, there is a concealed department hidden by a camouflage net, but the camouflage net is not matched. It is obviously used in the desert area, and there is a motorcycle next to it, which is also a feature of the Indian command.

He turned the machine gun and fired at the target 400 meters away in the violent shaking. This remote-controlled machine gun does not have a stabilization system to compensate for the vertical shaking when the tank is moving. However, his long burst shot almost used up the entire belt. This time The shots killed all 8 people in the command post.Then another tank rushed over, crushing the headquarters to the ground.

Colonel Sander deployed defensive troops in several directions on the periphery in accordance with general ambush warfare norms. However, as a highly mobile composite force mainly for offense and reconnaissance, he did not have too many infantry to carry out a complete and deep attack. Defense, and he himself is not very concerned about the deployment of the periphery, only thinking about the main direction to beat the opponent.Of course, the infantry company's foolishness in defense has repeatedly proved that Yahini's conjecture is correct. The Indian soldiers know that their superiors have abandoned this area, so they have no reason to exhaust themselves and dig a decent trench.

After the company commander was shot, no one used the second radio station in the company to send a warning to the headquarters. In fact, all the people rushed out of the position and fled while the tanks rushed through the gap in the defense line. The car brought an opportunity. The mechanized infantry company did not let the infantry out of the car, or even slowed down. It just used machine guns to shoot and kill more than half of the unsupported infantry.

Yahini led the way into the woods, almost hitting a BTP60 parked to one side.These wheeled chariots were neatly lined up in a row, and the hatches were wide open.They were neither hidden deep in the jungle nor assigned positions to support infantry with their 14.5mm machine guns.Line up like this, probably waiting for the front to be fired, then the infantry will be taken back, and the army will complete the ranks at the worst speed, and go home in order.This lack of seriousness caused the entire defense to be useless.

Yahini got out of the turret to observe, and replaced a belt for the hot machine gun by the way.In the woods with complex lighting and shadows, it is not reliable to observe through the periscope, so he has to seize the time to stick out his head to take a look.There are still many enemies running around like headless chickens, but they are quickly left behind by tanks, and infantry fighting vehicles will come to clean them up soon. Yahini doesn't want to stop and waste time.

He didn't know how the frontal enemy would react at this moment, logically speaking, he wouldn't do nothing, at least he would turn the muzzle over?However, there is no way out.

2 kilometers away, while pretending to be calm, Sandel has been listening to the sound of firing from the side and rear. There are signs that his ambush may have been exposed, but he always takes chances because he has not heard the sound of heavy fire. The sound, it seemed, was just some light weapons firing, and the peripheral troops did not report to him the sight of the enemy's heavy equipment.

He heard the sound of machine guns in the distance seem to be approaching, but it also became sparse. At this moment, the enemy in front is getting closer and closer to his trap. On a second thought, he decided to wait a little longer. Anyway, the few scout vehicles he sent Will verify the situation shortly.

Yahini, sitting on the turret, was the first to see a reconnaissance vehicle passing through the dense forest, just a dozen meters away, almost passing by.The enemy's tank commander didn't get out, so he couldn't hear the tank was on the side, and the tank was still advancing along the same road.

It was too late to turn the turret to aim, the driver Saad directly hit it, knocked over the BTP10 armored vehicle weighing only 60 tons, and then the tank shifted gears and crushed it directly.

The armor of this reconnaissance wheeled combat vehicle did not exceed one centimeter. Within ten seconds, it was crushed into a pile of scrap iron by the heavy tank. The desperate cries of the Indian infantry inside the vehicle could be heard gradually being crushed by the rumbling tanks. The sound of the engine was suppressed by the metal twisting sound, and finally disappeared.The second unthinking Indian tank also appeared not far away, and the platoon leader who showed his head was almost frightened when he saw the raised tank barrel.He was ordered to come to check the situation, but he didn't expect to meet the opponent's tank at such a distance.The condescending Yahini smiled and looked at the terrified commander of the other side for a second, watching the opponent hurriedly ordered to reverse the car, but it is not easy to turn the front of the car in the jungle, but it is not difficult for Yahini's tank .

Saad tried to repeat the old trick, but a track slipped on the steel ruins. He gave the accelerator a little, and then turned around slowly. This action almost crushed the wreckage of the armored vehicle below into a cake.

During the long turning process, the opponent was blocked by a big tree and did not turn his head. Instead, he exposed his side to the tank.Yahini knew what his driver was going to do. He held the tank and told the gunner who was aiming to turn the turret to prevent the gun barrel from being stuck in the mud. hit the ground.

The tank plunged into a sunken pond, and jumped out roaring in an instant.And that tiny 6X6 chassis tank, not only did not take the opportunity to slip away, it even turned off during improper operation.The Indian commander completely lost the idea of ​​turning. He got out from the top of the tank when the tank was galloping in the air, jumped to the ground, and escaped alone.Half a second later, the tank slammed into the target, crashing the chariot and the big tree blocking the way.The platoon leader's car was almost amputated in half.A few incomplete Indian soldiers rolled out from the break, and it seemed that they were gone.

Sandor received a report from the third reconnaissance vehicle of the reconnaissance platoon. The tank reported seeing at least one enemy tank running rampant in the woods. As for the situation of the infantry company, he dared not continue to investigate further.Immediately afterwards, the third reconnaissance vehicle's communication was also interrupted, but no explosion was heard in the distance.

The colonel finally had the first-hand information. He realized that his pocket might have been damaged by some reckless man who hit him by mistake. He hesitated for a while, then grabbed the communicator: "E company, quickly approach me, guarantee Command flank."

Company E was a reserve team he deployed in the rear, and it was also the closest tank company to him. It was originally planned to be sent out in the final stage of the battle to intercept the enemy's retreat from the rear of the road, but now they had to come to rescue them.Even at this moment, he still couldn't bear to change his deployment and ruin his ambush plan; although all signs showed that the enemies who were dawdling in front of him were actually here to show him a show, and they might not enter the ambush circle.But the colonel's excessive narcissism made it harder for him than for others to see through this layer.

This kind of delay was almost fatal. He deployed the main force in the wrong area, but the enemy came straight to his weakness; at this moment, he could mobilize only [-] T[-] tanks of E Company.Yahini's troops restrained the use of the main guns, which played an extremely critical role in confusing the enemy, but now that they have arrived, it is no longer time to hide but to be serious.

The first T[-] that arrived rashly was pierced by a shell fired from deep in the jungle.The remaining kinetic energy of the shell even broke a tree, which fell right in front of Sandor's eyes.When the tree fell to the ground, Sandor finally realized the seriousness of the situation. He immediately ordered the four Arjun vehicles of the battalion headquarters to turn around and face the front to the southwest—that is, the direction from which the artillery shells came.In addition, he began to mobilize the frontal ambushes to quickly turn back, but not all, just one company.These Arjun tanks move very slowly in the mountains, and when they are fast, they are prone to various problems ranging from frequent flameouts to suspension damage. It is really troublesome to deploy.

The forest before the war suddenly fell silent, and a huge fog rose in the woods around the destroyed T55, and both sides released smoke at the same time.Sandor is a little strange. According to the armor station theory, this is a standard defensive action, and the team's attacker can only play a blocking role. Doesn't the enemy plan to attack?
Yahini hesitated to turn on the channel of the thermal imaging camera, and searched for the outline of the target among the cool-toned trees.In the ground combat portion of the war, radio identification friend or foe is generally not used.Tankers on both sides are not accustomed to using such equipment, mainly because a large number of vehicles in the army do not have similar systems. If non-response is used as an enemy target, it will easily cause greater accidental injury.But Yahini and his veterans really don't need this thing.They can quickly distinguish their own [-]D from the opponent's T[-] from the outline [-] meters away, let alone the strange-shaped Arjun. These experiences help them make judgments and fire faster than their opponents.

The second panicked Indian T2 drove by [-] meters ahead. It saw no threat at all. The commander didn't even know the direction of the threat. He not only pointed the barrel in the wrong direction, but also dangled back and forth. , which shows that he is in the state of searching for nothing.

"Leave it to me here. Don't fire the rest of the vehicles, deploy quickly. Remember not to get too close. You have to move to the 0 position on [-]." While watching the gunner aiming, Yahini observed the movements of the entire company through the monitor , he is outflanking the enemy with far fewer troops than the opponent, but in the smoke, the side with the data link can occupy a huge advantage in deployment.Now his firepower is much more effective than the chaotic enemies.

"Tassim, don't shoot, let [-] shoot first."

"clear."

Tasim swallowed his anger and gave up the blow he was determined to win. This is not the time to ask nonsense. He knows that Yahini has a lot of tricks, and he must be thinking about setting the enemy up again.

Yahini's intention is to confuse the opponent's direction of fire.In this way, he can kill from a huge fan of about [-] degrees. At this moment, the formation has not been completed, and he has to wait for a few cars on the edge to be in place.

"Company commander, I saw [-] vehicles," reported No. [-] on the southernmost side, [-] meters away.

"I can only see one here. It seems that the enemy is not too close. You shoot immediately to attract their attention. Remember, don't stop in place, keep moving, keep releasing hot smoke, let them……"

Before he could finish speaking, there was a sound of gunfire in the distance, followed by the crisp sound of armor penetrating. Yahini could see in the thermal imager that the temperature of an enemy tank suddenly rose, and then it turned into a white patch. The vast image.

The enemy tanks detonated for a long time, which would block the rear heat source and severely damage his observation. He ordered the tanks to move, and soon he saw the second and third enemy tanks. Judging from the shape of the turret, they were all T[-]s.He let the gunners range one by one, but did not give the order to fire.The enemy was also advancing slowly, their barrels turned neatly to the south.It seems that they were all attracted by the latest shelling.After a while, the enemy tanks fired, but missed. In this game of cat and mouse, technological superiority far outweighed numerical superiority.But Yahini knew that the situation could change as the enemy reacted and adjusted their formation.
