Chapter 4578 Infantry Fighting Vehicle

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    These infantry fighting vehicles of the Orumi Federal Army are not very new models, but some outdated BMP series infantry fighting vehicles.

    This former Soviet bmp series has always been known for its powerful firepower among its competitors. The bmp-1 is equipped with a 73 mm caliber 2a28 low-pressure smoothbore gun and AT-3 anti-tank missiles.  At the same time, the American m113 was only equipped with one .50 machine gun.

    The BMP-2, which was put into production around 1976, was equipped with a 30 mm caliber 2A42 machine gun and AT-5 anti-tank missiles.  The Bradley armored fighting vehicle, which has the same firepower level as the BMP-2, did not enter official service until 1983.  The bmp-3 is also equipped with a 100 mm 2a70 smoothbore cannon and a 2a72 machine gun.  It shows how terrifying the firepower of the BMP series is.

    The bmp series is also a pursuit of mobility.  The mileage of the BMP series has reached 600 kilometers, while the American M113 and M2 Bradley only have a mileage of 400 kilometers.  The BMP series also requires that they can swim at any time, which may be difficult for Western infantry fighting vehicles to achieve.  Because the army of the former Soviet Union was an offensive army, the infantry fighting vehicles it equipped were required to have considerable individual combat capabilities and to support the army's long-distance raids and offensive deployments.

    But this level of firepower and mobility does not come without a price.  The protection of the BMP series, especially the BMP-12, is very poor and can be penetrated by .50 machine gun bullets on its sides.  This kind of offensive design with heavy firepower and mobility was not wrong under the thinking of large-corps operations in the Cold War. However, when the Soviet army later faced the battlefields of Afghanistan and Chechnya, such a design began to appear inadequate.

    The weakness of the Soviet infantry fighting vehicles that accompanied the infantry in the Afghan War was exposed when facing light anti-tank firepower.  This was even more exposed during the first Chechen War in 1994.

    In the classic battle of the 131st Motorized Rifle Brigade, the 131st Motorized Rifle Brigade lost 102 of 120 BMPs due to an ambush.  If it is understandable that tanks perform more field breakthrough missions and suffer high losses in street fighting, then it is unreasonable for infantry fighting vehicles that should accompany infantry to fight in various situations to suffer such high losses.

    So after the first Chechen War, the Russian army realized that they urgently needed a vehicle with heavy armor. Some of the previous BMP infantry fighting vehicles were on the verge of elimination.  The Orumi Federation uses exactly this kind of obsolete goods.

    The original idea of ??the Orumi Federal Army was that on the African battlefield at that time, the main anti-tank equipment used by most of their enemies was still RPG-7 and its derivatives. Even RPG-18 and 22 would be difficult to obtain, let alone  Talk about more advanced anti-tank missiles.  So they are not worried about insufficient protection.

    But they did not expect that these rebels actually had anti-tank weapons that were much more advanced than the RPG-7.  The Americans secretly supported part of the Hammer RPG-29.

    This weapon is a squad anti-tank rocket launcher used by the Soviet army to replace rpg-7 rocket launchers and pg-7vr rocket launchers. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, it flowed into the hands of third world countries and terrorists in large quantities.

    The Russian-made RPG29, also known as the Vampire, can fire 105mm rockets. It is similar to the Carl Gustav and can be said to be a smoothbore recoilless rifle.  .  This combat weapon is equipped with an optical sight and night vision device and adopts an advanced tandem charge design concept.

    Although in theory, its armor-piercing thickness is not enough to penetrate ordinary third-generation main battle tanks from the front.

    But in fact, in close-range street fighting, even with main battle tank-level armor, it will not be able to play a very good role in facing RPG-29s fired from 100-200 meters away or from closer rooftops.  Protective effect.

    The Challenger 2 main battle tank and the M1 Abrams main battle tank have both been destroyed by this weapon.  Using this RPG-29 to attack infantry fighting vehicles is actually very effective.

    The situation began to improve as the mercenaries and Anmor prisoners of war began to take over the counterattack.  On the opposite side of the Orumi Federal Army, several BMP infantry fighting vehicles were hit by anti-tank weapons and emitted smoke.

    The front position was stabilized, and a small number of rocket launchers and mortars from the rear mercenaries began to gradually open fire.  Various shells tore through the air, made strange whistling sounds, and exploded. Dust, stones, and shrapnel flew everywhere, and columns of black smoke filled the sky.  The bullets flying high in the sky screamed and screamed, and the bullets hitting the side suddenly penetrated into the soil, and the ground was hit by the bullets, causing flowers to sprout.

    The land around Highway 4 was filled with dust and billowing smoke, like a pot of boiling water.  The combatants lay prone on the ground as if they were lying on a broken ship in a big wave.  The struggle of life and death overwhelms all human daily emotions.  At present, all Lin Rui's thoughts have become very simple: the enemy must be blocked resolutely and skillfully.

    Lin Rui was at the nearest observation post and quickly scanned the surroundings with his telescope.  Some of the enemies directly in front are shooting, some are seizing advantageous terrain, and some are moving. It seems that there are at least several hundred people; the enemies behind them areSome of them held up their submachine guns and fired, some raised their machine guns and ran away, and some were doing simple fortifications. It seemed that there was at least one battalion.

    Lin Rui wielded an assault rifle and ran back and forth to observe the battlefield conditions despite the enemy's intensive artillery fire.  He also held a company in reserve, led by a fast horse.  He ordered Scarface to lead more than thirty mercenary soldiers to occupy the high ground directly in front, and to fight back against the enemy without retreating.  He also ordered Anmore's prisoners of war to lead hundreds of people and continue to fight back against the enemy with the help of fortifications.

    After accepting the order, the captain of the guard, Campbell, knelt on the ground with his left leg, grasped the assault rifle with his left hand, leaned back, waved his right hand forward, and silently led the Anmore soldiers to pounce on the enemy behind him!

    Lin Rui came to the most prominent high ground in the middle of the position.  Sausage and Curry are here to direct, shoot, and shout.  Next to them, a tall black man stood like an iron wall.  This was a very experienced mercenary machine gunner. His clothes were open, revealing his dark and dirty shirt, dripping with sweat.

    Lin Rui walked over and asked: "How is it?"

    Sausage opened his eyes, stared straight ahead, and said without looking back: "The situation is not very good! We have repelled two attacks."

    Mortars blasted clouds of black smoke in the distance.  At a glance, it was all fireworks.  Lin Rui observed the positions of the left and right wings: there was a squad on the left guarding a trail; the newly designated mercenaries on the right were leading two combat groups to occupy an open space.

    He turned around and shouted: "Sausage, it's not enough to be suppressed here like this. You hold on for a while, and I will ask the brothers on the flanks to cooperate with you. They will help you suppress it with artillery fire, and you take the opportunity to launch a short counterattack against the enemy!"  Do you dare to take down the high ground on that side for me?"
