"Armor-breaking bullets!"
"Reloading completed!"
As a battalion-level anti-tank firepower, the 0 recoilless rifle actually has something worthy of praise. Apart from anything else, the shell penetration is not a big problem when used against T55 tanks.
The main defensive force in the market on the south side of the town is the Duff detachment. Although this detachment is newly formed, its sense of belonging is no worse than that of the old detachment. The huge reality gap has hit these battlefield veterans at a loss. Many of them are drunk. Gambling, family breakdown, it was impossible to get out of the war, but fortunately, now, they are back on the battlefield.
The sound of the tracks of Cuban tanks driving on the road was already very close, but the shooter hiding at the corner of the street did not panic at all. He prepared for the launch in an orderly manner and waited until his target appeared on the street after running over the debris on the street. In an instant, a 106mm armor-piercing round accurately hit the front of the T55 tank.
This shell penetrated the front armor of the T55 tank, but the jet did not kill the crew inside, but it shocked the driver and made him hit the brakes.
After the T55 tank made an emergency stop, the gunner began to turn the gun, preparing to retaliate. However, when he turned the gun halfway, another A90 armored vehicle shot out from the opposite position of the recoilless gun.
This armored vehicle was facing the T55 tank sideways. Its turret had already turned this way before the driver reversed. Therefore, when the armored vehicle reversed, the A90's 90mm gun was already aimed at the T55 tank. , the gunner in the armored vehicle who had been preparing for a long time fired without thinking, and the 90mm armor-piercing projectile was fired again, hitting the turret position of the T55.
This shelling failed to effectively penetrate the armor of the T55, but the shock shocked the gunner. He hurriedly turned the gun and prepared to shoot the A90 armored vehicle that was more threatening. But when he fired, the driver of the armored vehicle happened to About to drive back to the street corner, the grenade loaded by the T55 tank to destroy the fixed fire point rubbed the A90's butt and hit the building on the rear side.
There were no losses on either side in this exchange. Although the T55 tank was poked with a hole, it did not cause casualties or any damage, so the tank commander refused the friendly forces behind him to ask him to retreat.
"My vehicle can still fight, but you have to be careful. The enemy has artillery armored vehicles, the French A90, and its artillery is still a great threat to us!"
"Understood, we will cover your flanks!"
After a brief pause, the Cuban tank column continued to move forward. On the road, they changed their formation from one column to two columns, with the left tank in front and the right tank in the back, and the two vehicles passed on guard.
Before entering the intersection, the Cuban tanks stopped for a few minutes because there was a small intersection in front of them. The recoilless rifle just now was on the right and the armored vehicle was on the left. The two tanks were preparing to enter at the same time so that they could alert each other. rear.
After the discussion, the two T55 tanks took action again. The gunners turned the guns to their respective target directions in advance and were ready to fire.
When the two tanks turned left and right at the same time, the P's who had been waiting here also pressed the detonation button at the same time. As soon as the two tanks turned around the intersection, the buildings on both sides of the road where they came from were blasted. Debris and debris immediately hit the road, blocking it.
Then the FRELIMO soldiers hiding on the second floor leaned out of the window and started throwing Molotov cocktails at the two tanks. These simple Molotov cocktails could overheat the engines. After being surrounded by flames, the Cuban armored soldiers suddenly panicked and tried to drive the tanks through. On the street in front of us, but in the alley on the side of the street, there were rocket launcher soldiers waiting here. Several 2-rocket rounds repeatedly hit the side of the first Cuban tank, and then destroyed the engine before it stopped.
However, the destruction of the engine did not make the armored soldiers in the car give up resistance. They switched to hand-operated mode to drive the turret, and then began to attack the buildings on both sides with artillery and machine guns. The two A90 armored vehicles ambushing at the end of the road also took this opportunity. Rush out and beat up the drowned dog.
Two 90mm cannons each fired twice in less than ten seconds. Four 90mm armor-piercing shells hit the T55 tank one after another. Two of these four shells penetrated again.
He killed the T55 tank and killed the loader and commander. The seriously injured driver wiped the blood from his face and took over the loader's work. He loaded the gun with a B tracer high-speed armor-piercing projectile. Then the gunner was also injured. Pressing the gun button, the armor-piercing bullet hit the turret of an A90. However, the shell did not penetrate the big head. Instead, it cut a tragic scar up to ten centimeters long from the side.
The A90, who was frightened by the Cuban tank, did not dare to stay any longer, so it reversed decisively and handed the damaged T55 to the infantry to deal with. Then, the surrounding P and ANLF infantry began to fire at the tank, and the seriously injured gunner He also quickly opened the commander's hatch, and used the submachine gun in his hand to fight back with the driver.
The exchange of fire between the two sides lasted for a full five minutes. The members of the Cuban tank finished their charge and then took out their pistols to fight back. The soldiers of P and FRELIMO took turns to fight, using rifle grenades, grenade launchers and rocket launchers. Repeatedly attacking the Cuban tank, the P's fired a total of thirteen rockets and nearly twenty high-explosive grenades before the last gunshot died down.
Compared with the tank that entered the left side, the Cuban tank that turned right was much luckier. After they entered the street, they were attacked by recoilless rifles. Three anti-tank grenades accurately destroyed the tank's tracks. , and then the Cuban tank successfully counterattacked with one shot, killing an anti-tank group that had not had time to move. Subsequently, the tank was also under an overwhelming siege.
After eating seven rockets and four Molotov cocktails, the two Cuban members managed to escape amidst the hail of bullets. They also dragged an injured comrade with them. The three hid in a building on the street, and then leaned against Using submachine guns and pistols, the three of them engaged in an equally fierce exchange of fire with the enemies outside.
The P's threw four grenades but failed to kill the defenders in the room. When they tried to attack with grenade launchers, the Cuban tanks behind them had already forcibly opened a path through the ruins and came over.
The anti-aircraft machine guns and coaxial machine guns fired at the same time, beating the seven or eight FRELIMO soldiers gathered around the destroyed Cuban tank into bullets. Then, several rounds of grenades were bombarded repeatedly at the intersection of P's retreat. The intersection collapsed and was blocked.
And those FRELIMO soldiers who failed to return to the bunker in time had to face several Cuban tanks alone at this moment.
