Chapter 4198 Falling short of success

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The tanks of the Moroccan army are very afraid of the anti-tank artillery hidden in the semi-basement.

    Although the m1a1 is welded with an 80mm steel plate based on the m1 turret, and the sandwich material is modified, the armor-piercing bullet resistance reaches more than 400 mm.  The frontal armor can resist RPG-7 rocket launchers, but it is still weak against anti-tank guns.

    Because the main purpose of an anti-tank gun is to damage and destroy tanks, this kind of gun makes a living. It has a long gun body, large muzzle velocity, long direct range, and fast firing speed.  The armor-piercing effect is strong, and the artillery shells use armor-piercing projectiles.

    These armor-piercing bullets use semi-combustible cartridges, and the core is made of tungsten alloy material. The muzzle velocity is 1800 meters per second. When the shooting distance is 2 kilometers, the armor-piercing thickness is 300 to 340 mm, and the armor-piercing thickness can reach 500 mm.

    In fact, the m1a1 tank is not as awesome as the Americans boast. What is really awesome is the subsequent improved models such as the m1a1h.  The basic m1a1 tank is actually not particularly outstanding in terms of armor.

    Being hit by an anti-tank gun within the effective range is no joke, especially since the opponent's anti-tank gun is relatively low-lying and cannot penetrate the armor and can easily damage the tracks.  The Moroccan side immediately decided to avoid the firing range of the frontal anti-tank guns and took advantage of the tanks' maneuverability to detour to both sides.

    This tactic is correct. They must use their own advantages to speed up the advance. The tanks in front of them can move to both sides, and the following tanks can continue to approach.  In this way, the formation of tank combat can be expanded.  The advantage of firepower can also be brought into play.

    But this is the correct tactic that Lin Rui and others are targeting.  After the follow-up tanks move forward, it is easier to expose the position of their command tank.  The observation team set up at the forefront of the battlefield is composed of snipers such as Viper Yelena.

    They are proficient in lurking and hiding on the battlefield, but this time their function has changed from snipers to artillery reconnaissance.  After locking the position of the enemy's command tank, the enemy's location was almost immediately reported to the rear artillery unit via radio.

    All the artillery troops immediately aimed at the target according to the shooting elements. This time, according to Lin Rui's numerology, they must concentrate their firepower and fire rapidly, dump all the ammunition in a short time, and then evacuate immediately.

    Mortars of various calibers from the Western Sahara troops opened fire.  The firing of mortars and rocket launchers itself is not very accurate, what is important is fire coverage.  Aim at a location, fire like crazy and that's it.

    Of course, their few 152 large-caliber artillery also opened fire brazenly. The rear of the Moroccan troops was buzzing with explosions, and nothing could be seen in the smoke.  The command tank was shaken violently by the explosion, and the air wave from the explosion almost overturned the tank.

    In just a few minutes, the two command tanks were hit several times in succession, although these shells were all coincidental.  But it was enough for the two command tanks.  One of the command tanks had its tracks blown off, and black smoke was rising all over its body. The members inside tried to climb out in disgrace, but they just took a look and immediately retreated.

    The other command tank was not so lucky. A rocket hit the turret, while the other hit the side and front near the chassis. The huge explosion impact directly caused the tank to roll over.  A 152 shell directly hit the chassis and exploded, and this behemoth was completely destroyed.

    This sudden attack surprised the Moroccan army.  The surviving command tank immediately retreated backwards.  But the shelling of Western Sahara is still not over.

    "Damn it, one car ran away. Xu Jin barrage, move forward to suppress it." Eric shouted loudly in the communication channel.  Xujin barrage is one of the types of artillery shooting, a method of impact artillery support.  Xu Jin's barrage shooting is formed in an area in front of our attacking army or in two areas at the same time, and as the attacking army advances, it gradually extends deep into the enemy's defense into a dense barrage.

    It was originally used to break through the enemy's prepared defense, mainly when the enemy's defense formed a trench system and used Xu Jin barrage shooting.  As a result, they were used in pursuit of the fleeing command tank.

    The artillery shells formed a series of barrages advancing forward. Wherever the command tank retreated, the artillery shells covered it.  Artillery shells were bombarding the surrounding area, and the crew of the command tank felt like they were on a ship in strong winds and waves, constantly bumping around.

    There was smoke from the explosion everywhere, and the vision was unclear. The command tank also launched a defensive smoke screen as a cover.  But this kind of defensive smoke can only confuse enemy tanks at best.  The artillery can't control that much at all, and they don't shoot directly. As long as the reconnaissance department points out the direction, they will hit wherever it points.

    In the end, although the m1130 Stryker armored command vehicle was not destroyed, it was bombed into a mess and covered in black smoke.  Under the cover of several tanks, they hurriedly retreated toOutside the fire coverage area.

    Lin Rui¡¯s risky actions achieved certain results, but they did not achieve full success.  They only destroyed one m1130 Stryker armored command vehicle, but the other command vehicle successfully escaped.

    After receiving the report from the forward reconnaissance troops, Lin Rui whispered, "One vehicle escaped, but as long as one command vehicle escaped, their command system will not be destroyed."

    "What should we do? They are already approaching the central square, and they will soon enter the central square of the town." General Edgar Rondo said in a deep voice, "Do you have any alternatives?"

    "Retreat to the southeast of the town, give way to the central square, rely on the tall buildings in the southeast, and continue to delay the enemy" Lin Rui looked at his watch, turned to Sausage and asked, "How is the situation over there in Smara?"

    "They have experienced two air attacks, but the main troops have all evacuated. Other artillery units have also begun to organize their evacuation after the round of shelling. We have held the enemy here for a full 6 hours." Sausage replied.

    "There is still a gap with our plan. I originally hoped that we could delay it for about 8 to 10 hours before they occupied the central square." Lin Rui lowered his voice and said, "Let's go, General. Once they occupy  Without the central square, our position will be unsafe. We must also evacuate to the southeast like this. Relying on the buildings there, we can continue to deal with the enemy. "

    "Once the enemy occupies the central square, it is equivalent to controlling half of the town. How can we deal with the enemy?" General Edgar Rondo hesitated and said.

    "Methods are thought up by people. Just before this, I don't think the general thought that relying on us and a limited number of artillery units, we could stop two armored regiments here." Lin Rui said in a low voice.
