"Attention, everyone, the enemy didn't notice us at all, so don't be impatient, aim slowly, and be sure to hit with one hit!"
In the honey badger's fighting room, Lieutenant Harman Yandel from the South African Armored Forces exposed half of his body outside the turret. While looking at the enemy armored forces passing from the front, he said to his assembled men.
The crew members of Yandel's six Honey Badger armored vehicles were all gathered from the crews of the lost tanks. Therefore, although the crews may not be very coordinated, there are no problems in operation. What's more, many of them were old acquaintances before.
At this moment, the Cuban armored forces were passing through the valley quickly. They were like the horizontal line of a T, and Lieutenant Yandel's men were on that vertical line. In addition, in front of Team A, which had previously lured the enemy, there were about There are more than two hundred mercenaries hiding in trenches and bunkers. They are equipped with many recoilless rifles and rocket launchers, but they are not the main force of the attack. The real killing move is still on the way. The front is insurance to prevent the enemy from jumping over the wall and charging without thinking.
"Lieutenant Yandel, I leave it to you, my people will use your signal as a benchmark!"
"Thank you, Mr. Shepard, for giving me a chance for revenge!"
Touching the scars on his face, Lieutenant Yandel seemed to feel the pain of that day again. His Centurion tank was destroyed by the T55 tank. He was the only one in the car who survived. He should have returned to China as a fighting hero. He enjoyed his status, but when he saw the grief of his comrades and their families, in order to escape those eyes, he returned to the front line. Because of this, he had no energy to think about those things.
After silently taking a breath of the cold wind in the valley, Yandel returned to the combat room. At this moment, all members of the vehicle were ready for battle. The gunner was chewing gum while constantly correcting the artillery. Without high-precision fire control, In this case, the hit of the tank depends entirely on the gunner. There are too many things to consider, such as zero adjustment, cross wind, distance, barrel calibration, charge temperature, air temperature, target movement error, and shooting table error.
Lieutenant Yandel was preparing to fire at a distance of 1,500 meters. This distance was a bit reluctant for the honey badger's 90-meter gun, but for safety reasons, he decided to fire at this distance. If he couldn't hit, he would fire a few more rounds. But if the enemy discovers your position and causes losses, it will be more than worth the gain!
"Car No. 1, Car No. 2, you are in charge of the first tank, No. 3 and I are in charge of the second tank, No. 4 and No. 5 are in charge of the third tank, do you understand?"
After receiving a positive answer, Yandel leaned silently in front of the commander's mirror. When the opponent entered the preset shooting position, he immediately shouted.
"fire!"
Then, the Honey Badger armored vehicles lined up on the hillside began to roar.
"Shit, are you all blind?"
Lieutenant Yandel was originally full of joy, thinking that he would hit a few of the six rounds, but the reality was the opposite. All six rounds of heat ammunition were inaccurate, and none of them hit.
"Quickly correct it, the enemy may find us at any time!"
At this moment, Yandel's palms were all sweaty, because once the target was exposed, his men had no chance of survival in front of dozens of tanks, so they had to kill the enemy as much as possible before they discovered it.
Fortunately, the mortar team that was further behind at this moment made a great contribution. Under the manual calibration of the front-line artillery instructor, six 120mm mortars smashed the 120mm high-explosive bombs into the Cuban tank group. The explosion caused the Cuban tanks to explode. There was a certain degree of chaos in the tank troops. Because of the threat of shrapnel, the tank commanders did not dare to reveal themselves to observe the enemy's situation. They could only rely on the sighting equipment in the car, but the sight of the sighting equipment was limited. Therefore, the Cuban armored forces could not see the enemy at all. I didn't notice the Honey Badger armored vehicle in the distance.
After waiting for half a minute, Yandel's troops started shooting again. This time, in order to hit the target, he decided to use three vehicles to attack one vehicle, but the result was still disappointing. Six rounds of artillery shells were fired again. , but the good news is that the enemy still didn't see them.
"Attention everyone, attack the first car!"
Yandel shouted angrily that if he had sat in the original Centurion, then he would have been very confident that he would hit at least one shot, but he
What he was currently operating was a fire support vehicle that had been transformed from an armored vehicle, so he could only pray silently, hoping that his men would give him a face.
After correcting the calibration again, the honey badgers fired again. This time the distance between them and the enemy had been shortened to 1,200 meters, a little closer than before, so the difficulty of aiming was also slightly reduced.
After feeling the vibration of the car body, Yandel simply got out of the fighting room and used a telescope to observe the enemy's situation. Then, he saw a ball of metal sparks exploding in the queue of Cuban armored troops in the distance. Read the book
"Hit!"
"That's a ricochet, and it was the third tank that was hit. Keep loading!"
At this moment, the Cuban armored forces finally discovered that someone was using anti-tank fire to attack them, but because of the shelling, they had no idea from which direction the attack was coming. Therefore, when an overly nervous gunner opened fire in the direction where Team A was escaping, Later, other tanks also thought that the enemy was in that direction and began to fire freely.
"Don't panic, there are not many enemies, we have the numerical advantage, we can crush them in one go!"
"The opponent doesn't know where we are yet, so keep firing! Each crew is free to fire!"
Afterwards, Yandel's team began to fire freely. The Honey Badger armored vehicle can carry 53 rounds of artillery shells. They carried heat ammunition and he ammunition in a ratio of 6:4. The ammunition of each vehicle was enough for them.
Subsequently, the seventh round of shooting from the No. 1 vehicle finally hit a T55 tank. The shell was fired from the rear of the tank. The jet blasted away the storage box behind the turret and also cut open the turret. Although no casualties were caused, , but the tank's turret steering gear was damaged, and the turret was stuck and unable to rotate.
Then when the No. 2 vehicle fired the ninth shell, it knocked off the guide wheel of the T55 tank at the front of the team and broke the track. Then the tank lost control and stopped, catching the friendly forces behind it off guard. Up there, neither car could move.
Seizing such an opportunity, the six Honey Badgers immediately started to fire. After firing 7 heat ammunition and 5 HE ammunition at each other, one of the T55s started to catch fire, while the other vehicle was also hit multiple times and could not move. .
"Damn it, where is the enemy?"
Because of the terrain, even if three vehicles were hit, the Cuban armored soldiers were still not sure what was attacking them, or even the direction of the attack.
