Chapter 107: Infrared Headlights!
Two kilometers away, a partisan calmly half-squatted on the ground, beside him, placed a tripod on which was a cylinder more than a meter long, and on the side of the cylinder, a huge aiming device.
He kept his eyes firmly on the aiming device, and the clear bright spots on the opposite side were his target!
That's the infrared headlights of the armored vehicles of the Soviets!
At this time, the standard night combat device of the Soviets is still an infrared headlight, which illuminates the front of the infrared headlight, and the reflected infrared light is received by the infrared device of Guò itself, and you can observe the surroundings, although the infrared light will not be seen by the naked eye, but in the infrared imaging device, it is a clear target! It's like someone has a flashlight in the dark.
This guerrilla had a stern expression, and he knew that the more complex the weapon, the more it needed to be used by well-trained people, just like himself, who had mastered all kinds of advanced weapons very well, and he was Osama.
Having a university degree is a valuable asset, and it is easier to understand and use these advanced weapons.
This is the second batch of Tao missiles shipped by the Americans, compared with the first batch, the performance of these missiles is more outstanding, not only shortened the length, but also increased the range, more importantly, equipped with the AN/TAS-4 night sight, this is an infrared imaging sighting device, the cost is expensive, even the Americans with deep pockets, only equipped the guerrillas with five. Moreover, this is the latest technology of the Americans, and the reliability is not very high, compared with the infrared imaging devices that have been equipped in large quantities in later generations, it is simple and cumbersome.
Now, it is precisely when this weapon gives its own strength, and at a distance of two kilometers, the night vision devices of the Soviets are simply not visible. They can see up to a kilometer away. Now, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the fog around is dispersing rapidly.
Soviets, go die! Osama aimed at a shiny spot of light on the opposite side, locking onto his target. Then the firing button was pressed.
"Bang." A tongue of fire burst out of the tail, and the blazing tail flame made Osama feel a burnt smell coming from his beard, and he stared at his sight tightly, as long as he aimed at the infrared headlight of the target, through the guò harness, the missile could keep adjusting its flight trajectory until it finally hit.
Soon, explosions were heard from the opposite side.
"The Soviets' tanks were destroyed, rush!" A partisan leader who was close to the nearest and couldn't lift his head under the pressure of the tank's machine guns. Suddenly shouted loudly.
Hearing this shout, Mhammad couldn't help but shout in the back, stupid, stupid!
He was still late, and by the time he arrived, the guerrilla offensive had already begun, and Mhammad had no choice but to help the guerrillas take out the tanks. in order to cover their retreat.
Who knows, these guys are already red-eyed. Seeing that the Soviets' tanks were destroyed, instead of retreating, they went further.
The fog had gradually lifted, and in addition to the tanks, there were also a number of infantry fighting vehicles, when it was discovered that the tanks had been destroyed. Instead of retreating, they rumbled up.
That tank, most likely, was destroyed by an RPG, this was the first thought of the Soviets, just now they were fixed shot. Now, just get moving, a moving armored car will be difficult to hit by an uncontrolled RPG.
And after they started to move, in addition to the machine guns in the turret, the shooting holes on both sides could also kill and injure the partisans on both sides, and even some Soviet soldiers opened the top cover of their heads and leaned out half of their bodies to shoot.
Several armored vehicles rumbled and roared, quickly reaping the lives of the partisans, and the guerrillas, who had been instigated to murderous, suddenly fell again.
Mhammad's heart is dripping blood, damn Nikobudin, damn Massoud, bring together all the guerrillas in the north and slaughter here, is that what they are for?
At this point, Mhammad's anger could not be overstated.
"Boom!" Another infantry fighting vehicle had been destroyed, the loading of the Tao missiles was slow, and in order to help the guerrillas attacking in all directions, there was only one Tao missile launcher with night vision on this side, Osama.
Before all the infantry fighting vehicles are destroyed, the battlefield will be full of partisan corpses! Mhammad gritted his teeth and picked up another weapon.
Stinger missiles!
In addition to the infrared imaging device of the Tao missile, it is just right to find the obvious infrared headlights, and in addition to this, there are also Stinger missiles!
The seeker of the Stinger is an infrared and ultraviolet dual-mode, although it is mainly aimed at the infrared rays emitted by the aircraft's engine, but the headlight is also a very good heat source!
It's not worth hitting armored vehicles with Stingers, ten armored vehicles can't top a single hind, but now, it's armored vehicles that harvest the lives of partisans, and Mhammad can only do that.
Hit armored vehicles with Stingers, in history, Afghan guerrillas really did this, but how effective it was, but it caused a lot of opposition from the bricks, the main complaint is the Stinger warhead, the Stinger is used to hit the plane, its warhead is 3 kg explosive fragmentation type, that is, the high explosive explodes, relying on shampel splash to hit the key parts of the plane, just like the warhead of a grenade.
Such fragments, hitting the tank, as if tickling the tank, the tank will not be afraid of shrapnel attacks, even if a 155-mm grenade explodes on the hull of the tank, although the personnel inside may be shocked, but the tank will definitely not be destroyed.
What is useful for tanks is a warhead based on the principle of armor-piercing carbide projectiles.
Now, Mhammad is not sure, but he has no choice, since the historical Afghan guerrillas have done this, Mhammad can only try.
Shouldering the Stinger missile, putting on the headphones, and just aiming at the infrared headlights, there was a familiar sound of dripping in the headphones.
Compared with the aircraft, the speed of the armored vehicle is too slow, and the infrared rays emitted by the infrared headlights far exceed the infrared radiation of the tail nozzle of the aircraft, so just aim, the missile intercepted the target and successfully locked on.
Shoot! Mhammad flicked the firing button, and the energy from the thermal battery ignited the rocket engine in the tail, and in a stream of heat, the Stinger missile flew out of the launch tube.
The seeker correctly follows the target.
A Soviet soldier poked out of the hatch of an armored vehicle and was shooting his rifle at the scattered partisans when a flame flew in the distance caught his attention, even though the stinger had ignited the engine of the second stage, which was still visible in the night.
At this time, the fog was rapidly dissipating, and he could see it clearly.
rpg? No, RPGs do not have such a long range, this is an anti-tank missile!
"Anti-tank missiles!" As he shouted, he pulled the trigger of his rifle and shot wildly in the direction the missile was flying from, as if he wanted to shoot it down with the bullet of his rifle.
This was impossible, the missile was still flying rapidly, almost instantly, in front of the hull.
There are two ways of the Stinger's fuse, contact explosion and close explosion, and now the Stinger missile, which is flying in, is tuned to contact explosion.
"Boom!" The Stinger missile, which has a speed of 750 meters per second, carries a projectile body that crashes several kilograms into the armor. Although the warhead of the Stinger missile is not hard, the speed is more than twice that of the anti-tank missile, and the huge speed brings huge kinetic energy. When the warhead hits the armor of the infantry fighting vehicle, all these kinetic energy are converted into internal energy.
Then, the 3-kilogram warhead began to explode, countless fragments flew sideways, and the energy of the explosion was all released on the armor in a very short time, followed by several kilograms of projectiles and fuel behind the warhead.
When all of these were turned into flames, a huge high temperature was generated, and the strength of ordinary steel plates at this temperature was not much better than that of paper, and now, the place of impact happened to be aluminum armor with stiffeners, and suddenly, in front of the entire hull, a raging fire was ignited.
The driver in front fell into the sea of fire in an instant, and the infantry carried in the back were shocked at the moment of the explosion, and they insisted on opening the tail door behind them, only two infantry climbed out, and the rest fell into the sea of fire.
Seeing that the infantry fighting vehicle in the distance was hit and caught fire, Mhammad's face suddenly became happy, it seems that the Afghan guerrillas' fighting method is effective, and practice is the most important thing compared to the analysis of those brick beasts!
Maybe it really can't penetrate the T-62 tank, but the Stinger missile is still effective against armored vehicles with very thin armor that can only resist rifle fire, especially when the infrared headlights provide a target for the Stinger.
Encouraged by Mhammad's success, several guerrillas carrying Stinger missiles began to attack the armored vehicles with their own missiles.
The fog had cleared, and the fire of several armored vehicles lit up half of the sky, as well as the slightly white sky in the east, constituted a picture of light, but the corpses of the guerrillas lying here and there on the ground made people not inspired by the victory of fighting a few armored vehicles at all.
"Rush forward! Rush into the city! "Mhammad gave the order.
Hearing Mahmad's order, Osama, who stood up from the side of the Tao anti-tank missile, suddenly looked puzzled: "Captain, aren't we going back to the mountains?" Why are you attacking the city again? ”
Mhammad had never supported the assault on the city, otherwise he would not have had a huge disagreement with Massoud, leading to the split of the newly united team.
If he had the chance, he wouldn't have done it, but he knew that they wouldn't have had a chance to go back to the mountains.
As the fog lifted, with the arrival of daylight, the air power of the Soviets was about to appear, and if they returned to the mountains now, they would be completely annihilated under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Soviets before they had even penetrated into the mountains.
