The fierce artillery fire brought some trouble to Gao Yang and the others, but they were the ones who fired the artillery fire, and the real ones in big trouble must be the British.
Gao Yang was determined to stop the bombardment in order to regain his vision and kill the enemy tanks. However, before he could give the order, the British tanks rushed out of the sand with indomitable momentum.
Gao Yang wanted to knock out the British tanks, and the British wanted to knock out his artillery positions, and they were definitely more urgent than Gao Yang.
A Chieftain tank was the first to rush out of the area not covered by sand and dust. As soon as it had a field of vision, the Chieftain tank immediately opened fire, and the shells exploded in the artillery position.
The second tank group also rushed out, this time it was a T-55 tank. Similarly, after the second tank group rushed out of the sand and dust, it immediately opened fire.
Gao Yang was very dissatisfied. He yelled on the intercom: "Fire! Fire! Are you watching the show in the third row!"
Amidst the roaring sound, the first anti-tank missile was finally fired. The anti-tank missile shot directly at the Chieftain tank with an up and down flight path, and then plunged into the turret, making a loud noise. Loud noise.
The Chieftain tank stopped. At the same time, a second anti-tank missile was fired. The target was the T-55. The missile also hit the turret.
After the T-55 tank made a loud noise, after waiting for a moment, two large explosions occurred inside the tank. The ammunition carried by the T-55 tank exploded, lifting the tank turret into the air.
The T-55 turned into a pile of burning scrap metal, but the Chieftain tank that rushed out actually started moving again after a moment of pause. However, this time the Chieftain tank did not continue to move forward, but retreated at full speed.
The anti-tank missile failed to destroy the Chieftain tank. This is not particularly surprising. The protective performance of the Chieftain tank is much better than that of the T55. The warhead of the anti-tank missile is an armor-piercing warhead. Although it is powerful, there are many reasons for the failure. Affecting the power of the missile, such as the different angles when hitting the tank armor, will greatly reduce the damage effect of the anti-tank missile.
It is possible that the armor of any tank was not penetrated, or it is possible that after the armor was penetrated, the crew in the vehicle was not fatally injured and still had the energy to drive the tank back, but in any case, the Chieftain tank was hit by a missile. But it was not completely destroyed, which is not worth the fuss.
The Chieftain tank quickly retreated into the sand and dust area, making the anti-tank missile useless again.
In the short visit, many things can be seen. For example, the Chieftain tank cannot shoot accurately in the sand and dust. This can be concluded that the Chieftain tank is a very old model and is not equipped with a thermal imager, but the protective effect is But still good.
Although one tank was destroyed, the situation is still unclear and this battle is not easy to fight.
If the armor of the Chieftain cannot be penetrated from the front, then attack from the sides or rear where the armor is weak. It takes more time to move and deploy anti-tank missiles, but now that the missiles are ready and the enemy tanks are within range, there is no need to Moved.
Gao Yang said urgently on the walkie-talkie: "The artillery ceased fire and the anti-tank missiles were ready to attack. Don't be afraid of wasting missiles. Be sure to eliminate the enemy tanks."
The artillery ceased fire and the anti-tank missiles were ready. After Gao Yang gave the order, he continued to dig his bunker desperately, waiting for the sand and dust to disperse.
But when the bunker dug by Gao Yang was enough to cover him, the diffuse sand and dust had almost dispersed and no longer affected his sight. Gao Yang looked up and found that the trace of the tank had been lost, and the enemy tank had escaped.
When it was discovered that the enemy tanks had evacuated, Gao Yang immediately said: "Teaching Company, the first and second platoons continue to make a circuitous route, the third platoon is on standby, and the missiles are ready to fire at any time."
After finishing speaking on the intercom, Gao Yang waved his hand and said: "Come on!"
The Satan Mercenary Group continues to advance. The eyes of a troop are not so good. If you want to see more things, you have to get closer, and getting closer means more danger.
The bunker you just dug is about to be abandoned before it is used, but this kind of thing is not a problem on the battlefield.
The Satan mercenary group began to move towards the position they had just shelled. The speed was not very fast. There was a distance of at least 20 meters between people, and they advanced slowly in a skirmish line.
After what felt like an extremely long march, Gao Yang climbed onto a small sand dune that had been thoroughly plowed by artillery fire. After gaining a view, Gao Yang just glanced forward and said in a deep voice on the intercom: "Teaching Company, First Platoon, Second Platoon, Occupy the woodland on my right and establish an anti-tank position. Three rows advance, and the follow-up troops follow. Our enemy builds the defense line on the second sand dune, coordinates b4.??Start artillery preparations, test fire three rocket launchers, let go! "
With the map, Gao Yang already had a detailed understanding of the terrain around Geisale, so before arriving at Geisale, Gao Yang set the coordinates with Zhou Zhou based on satellite maps and military maps. It didn't matter if the artillery didn't know, Zhou Zhou It¡¯s okay if Zhou knows.
After waiting for tens of seconds, with the sound of three rocket launchers, three smoke columns formed by explosions appeared in Gao Yang's field of vision.
If it were the artillery commanded by Grolevzhi, Gao Yang would not even think about going beyond shooting. But with Zhou Zhou around, it would be enough to go beyond shooting, so Gao Yang now acts as an artillery observer.
When he discovered that the rocket's landing point was very accurate, Gao Yang immediately said: "Fire the rocket with full firepower in one round, let go!"
With the whizzing sound of rockets, another round of shelling came.
Gao Yang felt nothing but pleasure in his heart. The artillery doctrine was exciting to play. No matter how high-quality your individual soldiers were, if you threw a bunch of artillery shells at them, they would all be fooled.
Only in a place like Somalia can you combine 107mm rocket launchers and 60mm mortars to create the feeling of a large artillery force. If you switch to a country with a little strength, you can use 105mm, 122mm, 152mm, 155mm. , 203 mm, barrel howitzers of various calibers will make people know in minutes what real artillery is. As for mortars, there is no need to mention them, they are not enough, and rocket launchers, because in the true sense, countries that can use rocket launchers on a large scale , that is, China and Russia, and playing artillery doctrine in front of these two countries is purely asking for trouble, and even the United States has to step aside.
Not to mention whether artillery doctrine is outdated, but in Somalia, on the battlefield faced by the Skeleton Gang, artillery is synonymous with invincibility!
While Gao Yang was observing the effects of the shelling, the others spread out and quickly checked the positions. After making a summary, Li Jinfang quickly reported to him the enemy's damage.
"Report, approximately 16 enemy corpses were found, and no wounded were found. The corpses are basically white, and they should be British. However, it is impossible to make a clear judgment because the corpses are basically in pieces."
Hearing Li Jinfang's report, Gao Yang couldn't help but smile. It seemed that the first round of artillery fire gave the enemy a big surprise. Although there were about sixteen corpses, the relatively intact corpses and the wounded must have been taken away. , only the broken corpses that cannot be cleaned up will be left behind. A conservative estimate is that the enemy's casualties are at least thirty to fifty.
The British are all veterans. They will not huddle together and receive artillery fire, so it is really beyond Gao Yang's expectation that they can cause such a large amount of damage to the enemy, but this also proves from the side how fierce the artillery fire of the Skeleton Gang was just now.
Who would have thought that Somali pirates would play with artillery?
"If you didn't expect this, you deserve to be shot."
Anyway, the British definitely did not expect that they would encounter large-scale artillery fire. If they had even the slightest preparation, they would not have suffered such a big loss in the first round of artillery fire.
The enemy had retreated to the second line of defense, and it must have been in a hurry. Gao Yang could see the retreating tanks, but the tanks also hid behind the sand dunes on the second line of defense.
As the enemy was once again suppressed by artillery fire, Gao Yang said urgently: "The mortars move forward and fire indirectly. The enemy lacks artillery fire, but they must be careful about their tank guns and machine guns on armored vehicles."
Before Gao Yang could finish his words, five BMP-2 armored vehicles appeared from the enemy's second line of defense and started shooting at their positions. The remaining two tanks of the enemy also raised their guns. They began to bombard the artillery positions that had always been a great threat to them.
Gao Yang and the others did not dare to advance too far in the first place. When they discovered that the enemy's armored vehicles were dispatched, they immediately retreated. By the time the 30mm machine guns on the armored vehicles began to fire, they had already hid behind the sand dunes. At least they did not have to worry about direct fire from the enemy. Firepower.
The plan could not keep up with the changes, which is especially normal on the battlefield. The assault battle turned into an air battle with heavy firepower from both sides. The British did not expect this outcome, but Gao Yang at least made some preparations.
Although the progress was not very smooth, Gao Yang resisted the urge to laugh. He prepared a large artillery force to give the British a big surprise, and used artillery as the key to victory. Now, , Gao Yang had a strong feeling that his conspiracy had succeeded.
Hiding behind the sand dunes, he sighed with contentment and said on the intercom: "Three artillery, let the artillery continue, slow down the firing rate, but don't stop, you can do some extended shooting, don't be too regular, um, Even if it explodes, it¡¯s best if they don¡¯t feel safe staying there.¡±
After giving the order to the artillery, Gao Yang immediately said on the frequency of the teaching company: "Teaching company, pay attention to the enemy's movements and establish an anti-tank position as soon as possible. But don't fire if you are not sure. Fire as much as possible to destroy the enemy's tanks. As for Armored vehicles, as long as they don't attack, you can put them aside first."
As soon as Gao Yang finished speaking, the commander of the teaching company said urgently: "Report, the enemy infantry launched an attack under the cover of armored vehicles. They are heading in your direction. Please give instructions."
