Volume 7 The Smoke of Gunfire on the Peninsula Chapter 57 Tank Battles
The 211 main battle tank had just rushed up the hill when a signal appeared on the main screen in front of the commander. 【Reading.com】
"Don't stop, keep going." Li Wen quickly connected to the tactical communication channel, "spread out the queue, spaced a hundred meters apart, keep an eye on the horizon to the south, and open fire autonomously." ”
The 5DZ211 took the lead and crossed the ridge to form an attack formation.
The violent turbulence did not affect the tank's sighting system and fire control system, and as soon as the optical detection equipment was targeted, the fire control computer immediately analyzed the target information to determine whether it was the most threatening tank, a secondary infantry fighting vehicle, or a non-threatening rock.
As a platoon commander, Li Wen had to command not only his own tank, but also the entire platoon's tank.
Several yellow icons on the home screen appear clearly outlined, and when they turn to red icons, a simple message indicating the nature appears in the upper right corner of each icon. The main battle tank is the most noticeable triangle, the infantry fighting vehicle is a circle, the self-propelled gun is a solid circle, and the other vehicles are square. It doesn't matter who designed the system, what matters is that the tank crew can see the nature of the target at a glance in the heat of battle and determine who to strike first.
"Stop-and-short, artillery anti-tank missiles."
While giving orders to other tanks, Li Wen pressed the icon of a main battle tank on the touch screen with his gloved fingers, and then the icon of the other main battle tank also turned gray, indicating that the other DZ211s in the platoon chose to attack the main battle tank first.
When Li Wen did these things, Fang Weimin chose an anti-tank missile for the main artillery.
The reloading work only took 5 minutes, and as the information on the screen that the ammunition was reloaded, Fang Weimin said loudly: "Ready, ready to fire at any time." ”
"Parking Aiming ......"
Shi Jinyong immediately released the throttle. Slam on the brakes. Because it is pushed with a superconducting motor. So the DZ211 achieves continuously variable gear. In addition to toggling the forward and reverse ground buttons. There is no other shifting mechanism.
At a speed of more than 30 kilometers per hour, the DZ21 slammed into the ground. Stopped within 2.
"Fire"
The body has not completely stopped. A 1-mm tank gun fired an anti-tank missile. The recoil is not very great. Because artillery fired anti-tank missiles ground-fired much less than armor-piercing shells.
Within 5. In addition, the DZ211 stopped and fired one after another.
"Go ahead, shorten the engagement distance, prepare armor-piercing shells!"
The DZ211 started again and accelerated from zero to an off-road speed of 32 km/s in just 6 seconds.
Levine ignored the Abrams 6 kilometers away. The artillery-launched anti-tank missile is equipped with a millimeter-wave radar active guidance head, which is the responsibility of the artillery commander even if medium-range radio command guidance is required. Li Wendi's task was to find the second target for the artillery commander before the missile hit the first target.
The main battle tanks of the US army thousands of meters away were not so lucky.
When DZ211 rushed up the ridge, the American tanks saw the opponent. The 5DZ211, which was now rushing to the front, suddenly stopped, and then continued to sprint, and the American tankers knew that the opponent had fired an artillery missile. The problem is that the "Abrams" is not equipped with artillery-launched missiles and cannot strike main battle tanks at a distance of 6 kilometers.
"Bradley", armed with anti-tank missiles, hid behind the ridge and could not see enemy tanks at all. The commander of the American tank did not know whose head the missile would fall, so he could only charge with the large force, and no one could stop. As for who gets hit by a missile, it depends on who is the unluckiest.
For an anti-tank missile flying at Mach 25, it only takes 7 seconds to fly 6 kilometers!
The first to "show his face" 5 "Abrams" became unlucky. To date, not a single tank active defense system has been able to intercept anti-tank ammunition with a speed of more than meters per second, and when an artillery-launched anti-tank missile with an armor-piercing capacity of up to 1250 mm hits the frontal armor of the "Abrams" tank, the active defense system does not react at all!
5. "Abrams" without exception turned into scrap copper and rotten iron.
Although for dozens of "Abrams", five can only be regarded as a fraction, as the two sides entered the low-lying area between the two ridges, they could not fire at each other for the time being, but as soon as they entered the battle, they were knocked out.5 One of them was still the battalion commander's command vehicle, and the morale of the US troops suddenly fell to the bottom. No matter how many improvements and equipment are added, the "Abrams" is a product of the last century, but it is the most powerful main battle tank in the world.
Is there a battle to be fought?
At this time, Li Wen has already entered the "state".
Through the battlefield situation photographed by the "Condor", Li Wen knew that he had already killed 1 "Abrams" and possibly 1 command tank.
Over the ridge, the US tank group quickly dispersed and overwhelmed it with overwhelming momentum.
Li Wen did not have the slightest worry, because behind him, dozens of DZ211s were spreading out in the queue.
Since it is a "sharp knife platoon", it is necessary to rush to the front.
Beyond the second ridge, Li Wen was presented with an open area about 1 meter wide and about 1 meter deep. This is the largest plain on the west bank of Changjin Lake, and the most ideal decisive battlefield for armored clusters!
"Aim for the ridgeline and hit when you outcrop."
As DZ211 rushed along the hillside towards the plain, the tank gun was raised high and aimed at the ridgeline a meter away.
As soon as the first "Abrams" was revealed, Levine "grabbed" the prey as quickly as possible. The controller computer takes several seconds to identify the nature of the target before locking onto it, so the tanker prefers to aim at the target manually if the nature of the target has been confirmed or the nature of the target is not confirmed.
With the platoon commander preemptively locking on to the target, the DZ211 did not turn the muzzle and continued to wait for the prey.
Seeing the information that appeared on the screen, Shi Jinyong stepped on the brakes again.
Although the DZ211 has the ability to fire on the move, in most cases, in order to ensure the destruction of the target, the tanker will use the "short stop and burst fire" tactic.
Without waiting for Li Wen to give the order to fire, Fang Weimin pressed the firing switch after aiming at the target.
The DZ21 slammed into a slam of recoil, causing the 61-heavy main battle tank to tremble several times. After the poor shell-piercing projectile flew out of the muzzle, the butt automatically shattered into three pieces under the action of air pressure, and the core with a diameter of 20 mm, a length of 60 meters, a mass of 124 kg, and three tail fins was like an unstringed arrow, shooting at a speed of 1,750 meters per second to the "Abrams" at a speed of 1,750 meters per second.
In less than 3 seconds, the armor-piercing bullet accurately hit the "forehead" of the "Abrams", who had just crossed the ridge.
Although the armor-piercing shell is not loaded with explosives, when it penetrates the armored ground, it will produce a large number of fragments, killing and injuring the interior members of the tank and destroying the equipment inside the tank. If it hits the ammunition in the tank, it can also rely on the high-temperature and high-pressure explosion generated by the high-speed impact to detonate the ammunition and cause secondary damage.
The point of impact of the armor-piercing projectile was in front of the Abrams ground turret, and the three crew members in the turret were certain to die.
To make matters worse, the armor-piercing shell detonated the shell in the rear bay of the turret.
By the time the tail of the Abrams' turret erupted flames, the DZ211 had already started again, and the autoloader pushed the second armor-piercing shell into the chamber.
More "Abrams" appeared on the ridgeline, 3||The DZ211 fired one after another.
I have to say that Li Wen is too eager to fight.
By the time he destroyed the third Abrams, there were already Abrams that had crossed the ridge and rushed into the open plains.
Seeing that there was only 5DZ211 on the opposite side, the American tankers were both surprised and excited.
No matter how bad Abrams is, it won't be able to beat the 5DZ211.
"Shi Jinyong, don't stop, keep the speed." Li Wen turned on the smoke screen ejection switch, ready to press it down at any time, "Fang Weimin, don't be late, just take aim." ”
"Yes, aiming."
DZ21 slammed into a slam, and the third armor-piercing projectile flew out of the muzzle. The U.S. tank, which was being targeted, suddenly turned around and avoided the incoming armor-piercing shells.
", kill that tank."
"it!" Fang Weimin cursed loudly, and used the opportunity of the automatic loader to load the shells to let the fire control computer calculate the shelling parameters again.
"Platoon commander, be careful......"
Hearing Shi Jinyong's shout, Li Wen was startled.
Before he could press the fire switch of the smoke bomb, DZ211 shook violently, and the three crew members were bounced.
Shot!
"Is anyone hurt?"
"I'm fine, it's okay." When Shi Jinyong answered, he had already stepped on the accelerator, and the DZ211 continued to run forward.
"Arms and feet, damn, bleeding!"
Li Wen was secretly startled, and immediately asked, "Fang Weimin, are you injured?" ”
"I scratched my forehead, and I can't die."
"If you can't die, kill that damn 'Abrams' for Lao Tzu."
The turret of the DZ211 turns to the right, looking for an enemy who "sneaks up" on itself.
The American tankman on the "Abrams" must have been taken aback, because the 120mm armor-piercing shell hit the front of the DZ211's hull very accurately, and if the gunner was careful, he could see that the impact point was slightly deflected to the right. As a result, DZ not only continued to run wildly without any, but also turned the muzzle of the gun around.
In a panic, the Abrams set off a smoke bomb.
"*** want to escape, no way!" Fang Weimin quickly switched the aiming system from optical phasing to passive infrared phasing, and adjusted the signal magnification to the maximum.
A smoke screen with metal particles blocks most of the thermal radiation, but not all infrared rays.
The "Abrams" hiding in the smoke screen revealed its original form, and the muzzle of the DZ211 was aimed at the American main battle tank that was about to be hapless.
The fourth armor-piercing projectile was fired, and the Li Wenche crew reaped the fourth result.
At this time, more than 30 DZ211s that followed the assault of the "sharp knife platoon" successively crossed the second ridge line and entered the plain battlefield.
The American tankmen, who had a hint of luck at first, suddenly despaired.
The first round of "salvo" played by the DZ211 cluster took out 22 "Abrams". At this time, although the "Abrams" hit the first 5DZ21 main battle tank to enter the battlefield at least 4 times, it only paralyzed 1 DZ211 at most, and at the same time paid 8 times the price.
The remaining 1 Abrams immediately released a smoke screen and retreated to the east of the battlefield.
In just a few minutes, the head-to-head battle turned into a pursuit battle
