"Tsk, tsk, it's a miracle these guys can operate tanks!"
"I heard they have mercenaries, so it's not surprising that they learned to drive tanks!"
"So what, what the mercenaries taught us doesn't matter, we were seriously trained in the Soviet Union!"
At the front, the T55 responsible for detecting the enemy's situation has retreated to its own defense line. A total of six T55 tanks were lined up and parked on a high ground.
Their muzzles were pointed in the direction of the approaching Chadian armored forces, and the commanders also got out of the turret, trying to use telescopes to find the target earlier.
As the dust on the road in the distance flew up and the earth shook, soon an armored convoy appeared on the horizon.
"They're coming!"
There was unconcealable excitement and fanaticism in the eyes of the tank commanders of the Libyan armored forces. They did not return to the tank body, but continued to stick their upper bodies out, and then ordered the crew to prepare for battle.
The loaders followed the order and loaded the artillery with a fin-stabilized armor-piercing projectile. After hitting the target, this thing would release a metal armor-piercing jet, which was perfect for dealing with the miscellaneous tanks of the Chadian army.
After loading, the gunner immediately started to capture the target with the 2-22 sight. After seeing the shooting target, the gunner immediately pressed the button on the right side of the handle. These T55 tanks are equipped with ktd1 laser rangefinding instruments. All they need to do is to The crosshair is aligned with the target, and within a few seconds, the gunner will know the distance between the two sides.
Then, he began to fine-tune the muzzle orientation based on the opponent's movement speed, cross wind speed and turret angular speed, and did not stop until he was sure that the aim was complete.
Those Chadian tanks did not seem to realize that they had entered the Libyan ambush circle. They still maintained a rather scattered marching formation. The commander and gunner were chatting outside the turret, and most of the drivers had their heads exposed. .
It wasn't until an extremely bright tracer appeared accompanied by a harsh howling sound, and then an unlucky 47 Patton tank appeared, that the Chadians realized that they were under attack.
After the 47 Patton tank was hit, it continued to move forward for more than ten meters according to inertia, and then stopped. The T55 tank's shells easily penetrated the 47's armor, and the jet poured in from the top of the head, directly killing the unfortunate person. The driver then bounced and splashed inside the car, killing other people along the way. Then, the jet penetrated the power compartment and ignited the engine.
The tank emitted thick smoke not long after it stopped. The smoke grew bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a spurt of flames.
The Chadian tank soldiers who were attacked panicked and got back into the tank, trying to observe the target through the periscope and periscope. However, until two more tanks were destroyed, the target was still not found because the tank's field of vision was limited and the equipment was backward. Moreover, those tank soldiers were not proficient in operating skills.
Therefore, just six T55 tanks destroyed four Chadian tanks in one and a half minutes, and injured one in return.
As the distance got closer, the Chadians finally saw the Libyans on the highlands.
"Fight back, fight back!"
The Chadian tank soldiers yelled, and then random artillery fire flew out. Because the calibers of these tank types are not uniform, the ammunition fired by everyone is also different. The T55 tank uses armor-piercing discarding sabots, commonly known as APDS. , this is the ammunition they seized.
Those Italian OF40 tanks fire tail-stabilized armor-piercing projectiles, the same as those fired by the Libyans, while the French AX30 tanks fire special G-type armor-breaking projectiles unique to France.
It's just that no matter what kind of artillery shells, under the rough aim of the Chadians, they failed to hit the target, and none of the artillery shells even landed close to the Libyans!
Watching the artillery shells flying overhead, the Libyans, whose upper bodies were still hanging out of the car, calmly continued to fight back.
After losing more than ten tanks, the Chadians finally closed the distance to about a thousand meters. At this distance, they could finally effectively hit the Libyan tanks. Xiu Shuzhu
After another round of shooting, the Libyans lost two
A tank had to choose to reverse and turn to evacuate. Before they left, they did not forget to take the wounded and release a smoke screen to obscure the battlefield.
The Chadian tank soldiers cheered and drove the tank forward, and did not stop until they reached the high ground.
"Those guys escaped!"
The Chadian tank soldiers got out of the tanks excitedly and watched the Libyan tanks they destroyed burning. Their orders were to carry out counterattacks to the best of their ability along the road. Although they paid a heavy price, the Libyans who escaped were still This made the armored commander who had just taken office very excited.
However, his happiness did not last long, because just a few minutes later, the mighty Libyan tank group that could not be seen at the end came back again. .Ь.
This time, the attackers and defenders rotated, but the performance of both sides did not change. The Chadians rushed into the battle in a hurry, but only the British Centurion tank they equipped had two hits, and the artillery of other tanks still continued. I don’t know where I flew to.
However, the Libyan tanks maintained a good hit rate during the march, damaging two Chadian tanks again, and even the tank commander's vehicle was hit by a ricochet.
Although the shell did not penetrate the tank, it cut an extremely tragic opening on the right side of the turret and damaged the tank's seat ring, causing the turret to lose its rotation function.
At this moment, more than half of the Chadian tanks had been lost, and the Libyans had not yet broken through double digits. The exchange ratio between the two sides reached an astonishing seven to one.
At this moment, the Chadian commander no longer considered the attack order, but simply ordered his men to abandon the inflexible 47 and Centurion tanks, and park them sideways on the roadside to block the enemy, while the others followed behind. The team changed into the front team and began to retreat.
The Libyans became more and more excited when they saw the movements of the Chadian armored forces. The commander directly ordered everyone to speed up the pursuit and annihilate the Chadian armored forces. This result was enough for everyone to be promoted to the next level, not to mention generous monetary rewards. !
So, the Libyans chased behind and the Chadians ran in front, and the two sides started racing on the narrow road.
Although he is familiar with the terrain, most of the tanks in Chad's hands are recycled, so there is still a big gap in power compared to the Libyans. Therefore, he cannot get rid of the Libyans and can only watch them pursue and attack them. He fired randomly at his own expense.
The Chadian commander hated the frontline army commander who asked them to die. He had no idea what the meaning of his unit's attack was, but he soon understood.
