Chapter 186: Tank Charge

The army's assault armor force is very small, only more than 60 chiefs, more than 70 M60s, and more than 50 M113s, and it is simply impossible to use these assault forces to force the Abadan defense line head-on.

However, the first wave of air raids reported that the opponent's armored forces had been completely destroyed, and the tanks the size of an armored division had been reduced to ashes, which was why Hashmian could attack with confidence.

If the opponent's armored forces have been wiped out, then your own troops can successfully recover Abadan.

The armored forces lying in ambush on the east side of the defensive line, under the orders of Hashmian, began to advance rapidly, and although the battle in the sky was still going on, they still moved forward bravely. Without heavy weapons, tanks are the natural enemies of infantry!

However, just when he was about to reach the Abadan line, the other side first came with two armored vehicles, rescued the unlucky pilot, and also carried his own two armored vehicles with him, and then, in the line of sight, the opponent's armored troops appeared.

From the periscope of the tank commander, it can be seen that the other side has less than 50 tanks in total, and it seems that under their own bombardment, the Iraqis' armored forces have really suffered heavy losses, and their own side has begun to attack, but the other side can only make up this tank to resist.

Due to the long distance, they did not see that the other party's tank was different from the tank they had encountered, especially the caliber of the tank's artillery was larger, and the V-shaped wave plate in front of it was marked with the surname.

Iran's armored corps has no fear, especially the tank brigade of the Chieftain Tank, which has been filled with a large number of elite mid-level commanders and skilled gunners, and it is easy to destroy those tanks that rush at a long distance, and they also know that the Iraqi lagging tanks, close to a distance of less than 800 meters, will not be able to hit themselves.

Therefore, they did not stop and carefully observe the opponent, but chose to charge, their dozens of chiefs, when they approached, they could wipe out all the opponent's tanks, it was just a small battle, they were more concerned about the battle with the Iraqis in the city after entering the city of Abadan.

They didn't know that this small armored force in front of them would defeat all their offensive forces.

Since being transferred to the front line, Ali has not fought a decent battle, and now, seeing the tanks coming with black smoke, his fat body, inside the cramped T-72 tank, gave the first order: "Infantry fighting vehicles, prepare to launch missiles." ”

At this time, the distance between the two sides was still four thousand meters.

At this distance, the tanks of both sides cannot reach each other even if they have a long range, but the SEG anti-tank missile, which has a maximum range of 5,000 meters, is not among them.

With Ali's order, dozens of missiles on infantry fighting vehicles were ready for launch.

In the shock formation, the tanks rushed to the first line, the infantry fighting vehicles were in the second echelon, and in order to launch missiles, the infantry fighting vehicles began to quickly cross the tanks, lined up on both wings.

At this time, the commander of the tank brigade of the chief tank finally realized that the situation was not good, and he still remembered that just now, the opponent's infantry fighting vehicles killed two of their own, using anti-tank missiles.

He also knew that the Iraqi army was armed with Soviet anti-tank missiles.

"Slow down, scout van forward." The brigade commander gave the battle order, and his own charge in this way implied danger, so first use two tanks to reconnoiter the situation.

However, it was already too late, and with Ali's order, the SEG anti-tank missiles on the infantry fighting vehicles, dragging tongues of fire, left the launch rails.

Suddenly, there were flames of missile launches everywhere.

After launching the missile, in order to improve the hit rate, the infantry fighting vehicle chose to slow down, so that its own missile operators could better attack the enemy's tank.

The T-72 tank did not stop, but continued to attack.

The Iranian armored forces made a mistake, after detecting the enemy's flying missiles, they could not slow down, they should be at full speed!

Because of the use of visual aiming, manual control, and wired command guidance, that is, when the missile is flying, there is a pay-off device behind it that keeps lowering the wire, and its flight attitude is artificially made by the launcher in the rear.

After all, the reaction time of people is slower, and if the tank moves at full speed and slows down sharply at the moment the missile flies, it can avoid the missile.

Now, they have chosen to slow down, which can make it easier for the other party to aim.

More than ten seconds later, except for a few missiles that were in flight, they were hung up by other things and lost control, most of the missiles flew accurately on the opponent's tank and smashed into it.

The M60 armored car, which was immediately penetrated by a missile, detonated the ammunition inside and was completely scrapped.

The Chieftain tank, on the other hand, was not destroyed due to its thick armor and the fact that the missile flew too far, which led to a weakening of the armor-piercing thickness.

Although it was not destroyed, the crew inside was not so comfortable, and the huge kinetic energy when the missile hit caused the tank to emit a violent vibration that was unbearable for all internal organs, and the internal organs of several unlucky eggs were shattered, and the corners of their mouths were bleeding, and they could no longer live.

The external sighting equipment was also smashed to pieces and could not be used.

The only consolation was that the missile did not penetrate the main armor and the tank was still moving.

If Hashmian saw it, he would have to go crazy, and the hundreds of tanks that the Iranian army had finally gathered were destroyed by dozens of them in the first wave.

This is the advantage of long range, and when the opponent has not yet hit him, he has already beaten the opponent hard.

Ali gave the second order in the bumpy T-72 tank: each tank company, at 1,500 meters, fired the first round of armor-piercing shells, targeting the most threatening Chieftain tank in front of it.

The Iranian tank forces have also begun to attack at full speed, and they want to use their advantage in range to teach the opponent a hard lesson, and at the longest distance, take out the opponent!

Since the anti-tank missiles of the infantry fighting vehicle are loaded by hand, after the first missile is fired, the infantry fighting vehicle takes the initiative to hide behind the tank again, ready to go up and pick up the bargain after the tank charges.

Another tank battle on the ground, on the verge of breaking out.

In the sky, at this moment has entered a fierce air battle.

This time, the Iranian Tomcat preemptively launched a Sparrow medium-range air-to-air missile, shooting down a Mirage F1 and a MiG-23, while the Mirage F1 also shot down a Tomcat with a Matra 530, however, the Mirage F1 was careful not to go into the range of close combat, but chose to disengage and then launch the medium-range missile again.
