"Steady, steady!"
The Cuban armored soldiers have not noticed anything strange in the plains on both sides of the road. Although most of the tank commanders leaned out from the turret position, most of them did not carefully observe the nearby situation.
After all, people can't stay tense 24 hours a day, because the battle report said that no enemy infiltration was found in the surrounding areas, so there is no need for everyone to be too nervous. .z.br>
If you keep tense your nerves, you will go crazy sooner or later, and the inside of the tank is not actually that beautiful. Even in American tanks, which have a wider internal space than Soviet tanks, the crew inside have to face harsh conditions such as high temperature and noise, so , quite a few Cuban captains exposed their bodies outside, just because it is cooler outside than inside.
Many Cuban captains are still chatting about one ride or another, but the environment in their chat channel is much better than that of Shadow Company. The former usually talks about family ideals, while the latter talks about whether they can All kinds of dirty jokes were made, and this was despite Shepard repeatedly emphasizing radio discipline.
At this moment, the Cuban armored column had entered the three-thousand-meter firing range, but the commander of the Charlie unit still did not issue an order to prepare to fire. He was still looking for something with his telescope, but because the distance was too far, he searched for most of the day. I didn't see the target I wanted to see either.
It wasn't until the armored column entered about two thousand meters that the commander saw the target he wanted to see, the command tank of the Cuban Armored Forces. It was the fourth Cuban tank located in the middle of the column. Judging from its appearance, it was different from other tanks. There is no difference, except for an extra antenna at the rear of the turret.
"found it!"
Just like hitting a snake seven inches away, killing the most important commander in the tank unit is also a must-do when ambushing an armored unit, because the radio commanding the tank is more powerful and can not only contact the tanks of the same unit, but also communicate with the tank unit. Contact with the rear is therefore a priority that must be solved.
"Team 2, pay attention to the fourth vehicle in the convoy. That is the enemy's commander. You have to deal with it!"
"No. 2 received!"
"For the other shooting groups, one group will target the lead vehicle, three groups will target the sixth vehicle, and four groups will target the rear vehicle. Each group is preparing to launch. Be sure to kill with one hit!"
After allocating the targets, the unit commander clutched the binoculars and observed the Cuban armored column without realizing that he had been targeted. He also had headphones on his head because the four groups were positioned relatively far apart. Therefore, he had to wait until the targets of the four groups entered their optimal shooting distance before giving the firing order.
Soon the Cuban armored column entered the front position of Charlie's unit. The straight-line distance between the two sides was only more than a thousand meters. Through the telescope, the commander could even see clearly the mud spots on the tank turret. At this time, the four shooting groups , also reported on their preparations.
"Attention everyone, after the salvo is completed, open fire freely and launch!"
As the unit commander issued the order, the shooter who had been waiting for a long time immediately pressed the launch button. Then, the missile entered the launch process. After one point and five seconds, the battery ignition was completed, and then after 0.05 seconds, with a sound With a loud noise, the TOW missile installed in the launch tube shot out. After seven meters of launch, the tail fin of the missile unfolded, controlling the missile to enter the flight trajectory. After flying sixty-five meters, the warhead's warhead insurance was released. Then the infrared sensor started working, and the shooter kept a close eye on the missile's flight trajectory, making corrections bit by bit, and controlling the missile to fly towards the target.
About four seconds later, under the control of the shooter, the warhead of the TOW anti-tank missile hit the bottom of the T55 tank. Then the warhead exploded, and the jet cut through the armor and violently blasted into the target.
The first vehicle to be hit was the lead vehicle. The explosion not only shredded the tank's armor, but also cut off its tracks. The T55 tank followed the inertia and advanced for more than ten meters before slowly stopping. Then the tank began to emit thick smoke. Amid smoke and fire, the driver, whose face was covered in blood, struggled to climb out of the car and fled toward the roadside.
The second one to be hit was the sixth tank of the column. The TOWER missile hit the position directly below the turret. The jet instantly killed all the people in the vehicle. The tank lost control and drove crookedly into the field. , then the flame is like a fountain
The same jet shot out from the turret, igniting the commander who had just half of his body outside.
The third one to be hit was the command tank located in the middle. The shooter of the anti-tank team also aimed at the rear position of the vehicle, but the missile hit the place a little behind. Thick smoke came out of the rear half of the vehicle, and then the engine started. It burned, but the commander and driver escaped safely, and they also pulled out the gunner who was covered in blood.
The last one to be hit was the tail truck of the column. The running mechanism of this T55 tank was hit, and the left track was stuck. The tank started to turn with a bang, and then knocked the truck behind it to the ground. The unlucky captain was even thrown out of the car.
After firing the missile, the assistant shooter who had been waiting for a long time immediately unlocked the launcher, then removed the empty launcher and threw it aside, installed a new launcher, then turned off the safety and connected the power supply.
They had practiced the entire set of actions countless times before, and had even formed muscle memory. It only took less than twenty seconds for the launch team to enter the launch state again.
The Cuban armored column under attack didn't even know where the enemy was at the moment. The attack just now threw them into chaos. The commanders got into the tank extremely quickly, and then began to observe the situation with the peripheral vision mirror.
"Where is the enemy?"
"What's attacking us? Tanks?"
"To our left, to our left, missiles coming!"
Finally, the Cuban commander saw the direction of the attack, but it was too late. At this moment, the anti-tank team located in the ambush position had completed loading and started firing. This round of attack once again killed two T55 tanks, one of which was The ammunition exploded directly, blasting the tank's turret into the sky.
The remaining two missiles hit the target, but failed to destroy the opponent. One of the tanks' turret was stuck, while the other tank's gearbox was only damaged. Its turret was turning little by little at the moment. direction.
The remaining two intact tanks also began to turn to the left.
"Hurry up!"
At this moment, both the missile shooter and the tank gunner were urging quickly, but in the end, the T55 tank was one step faster. The gunner completed the turret rotation, took a rough aim, and fired a shot at the target!
