Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    If there is something good, Ali is definitely willing to use it immediately. Now, with artillery-launched missiles, he will certainly not be stingy.

    This thing not only has a long range, it also exceeds the range of the opponent's tank gun.  Even the most advanced 120mm smoothbore cannon has a range of no more than three thousand meters when firing armor-piercing projectiles, while this gun-launched missile has a range of five thousand meters.

    At this distance, the Israeli armored soldiers are completely targeted.

    So, when the Israeli armored troops were discovered, Ali immediately ordered the first round of artillery-launched missiles to be launched immediately.

    "Leaving Gaza City and running outside the city to fight with the Iraqi army is simply courting death.

    In the past, the Israeli armored forces were invincible, but now, this has changed.

    As an alternative tank, the Merkava takes a different path. Its protective power is ranked first. In order to reduce casualties, even the engine has been moved to the front. Its firepower is second, and its maneuverability is only  It ranks third. Although it also uses a 1,200-horsepower engine, its weight reaches an astonishing 65 tons!

    Brigadier Ranage did not order to accelerate. Acceleration cannot avoid missiles. The closer the distance between the two sides, the better the effect of artillery-launched missiles. Therefore, he could only ask the armored troops to retreat.

    However, it¡¯s too late now.

    The excellent qualities came into play. The Merkava MK3 tank stopped, adopted a hydraulic automatic shifting mechanism, and engaged the reverse gear. The entire armored force began to retreat. At the same time, the muzzle was raised, and it was ready.  Preparation for firing cannonballs.

    The smoke emitting device began to spray out smoke continuously, and the battlefield was filled with smoke.

    Iraq is equipped with the 9M119 artillery-launched missile, which uses semi-active laser guidance. The special feature of this missile is that the rocket engine is placed in front of the main charge.  From the tip of the projectile back, there are the first-stage hollow armor-piercing charge cover, the rocket engine, and the second-stage hollow armor-piercing charge cover.  As a result, a gun-launched missile with a limited length has realized the serial hollow armor-breaking charge for the first time, so the power is greatly increased. The vertical static armor-breaking power of the missile warhead is 900 mm.

    After flying in the air for more than ten seconds, through the smoke of the smoke launcher, more than thirty artillery-launched missiles hit the target, and a dozen of them deviated from their targets. After continuing to fly for more than ten seconds, they chose to self-destruct.

    The use of series hollow armor-breaking charges is mainly used to defend against reactive armor.  Reactive armor is a layer of explosive blocks covered on the outside of the main armor. When the opponent flies over, the explosive blocks explode and blow up the opponent.  And new attack weapons emerged as the times require.  There are two stages of charges. The first stage detonates the opponent's reactive armor first, and the second stage is the main warhead that destroys the opponent's main armor.

    However, the Soviet Union¡¯s own tanks are still mainly used for reactive armor.

    This kind of warhead is now firmly attached to the body of the Merkava tank.

    To hit the turret, first use the front warhead to tear a hole, and then use the main warhead harder, and the heat flow has already penetrated.

    The engine that hit the front was immediately disabled. Then, the main warhead drilled forward hard and penetrated the engine. When it went inward, it had no power anymore.

    Even so, an engine fire is definitely not that fun. Even if the cannonball is placed in the rear cabin, it is always possible to be ignited by the fire.

    Since the engine was in the front and the ammunition compartment was arranged in the back, they carried forty-eight rounds of artillery shells and more than twenty rounds of mortar shells. The most unlucky one among them was that the artillery shells contained in the gun container were ignited. Suddenly,  The entire car body was torn apart from the back, and the turret also flew into the sky.

    One of Ali's armored regiments had already killed an armored battalion of the opponent in the first round of strikes.

    Of course, this is related to the usual training of Ali's armored regiment.  Their training is the most serious and hard-working, and their combat effectiveness is great. If they rank second, no one can rank first!

    Strict training played a huge role here. The first round of blows stunned the Israelis.

    The distance between the two sides continues to shrink.

    Although the Soviet T-72 tank¡¯s artillery shells have a range of more than 2,000 meters, its fire control system limits the performance of this artillery, making it almost impossible to hit the opponent within 1,500 meters.

    But now, both sides were advancing at high speed, and the strength of a tank battalion was wiped out, which made the Jews even more crazy. They were confident in the weapons in their hands and could definitely defeat the opponent.

    However, when they discovered something was wrong, they realized that they were in great embarrassment this time.

    Ali¡¯s armored regiment is also continuing to charge. The new fire control system can fire on the move during dynamic shooting.?The hit rate is 80%. At the same time, their artillery shells can also have an armor-piercing capability of nearly 700 millimeters at a distance of two thousand meters.

    After approaching a distance of two thousand meters, Ali's armored regiment had opened fire. However, at this time, the Israeli armored soldiers suddenly discovered a serious problem: their laser rangefinder was malfunctioning!

    A special weapon on the T-72M2 starts to work at this time. This thing is the laser suppression system!  In tank shooting, distance measurement is a very important issue. Nowadays, lasers are basically used for distance measurement.

    Therefore, one of Iraq¡¯s soft confrontation methods is to suppress the opponent¡¯s laser rangefinder!

    When the equipment on the top of the turret senses the laser beam emitted by the opponent, it begins to fire lasers at the opponent to interfere with the opponent's ranging. It can also increase the power to suppress it. However, due to insufficient technology, it cannot launch a powerful enough laser beam.  The laser can burn through the opponent's laser rangefinder, or even blind the opponent's shooter. However, this is already a sharp weapon.

    Now, the Jews were the first to try the power of this weapon.

    In high-speed movement, it is impossible to aim when hitting an opponent without absolute distance information. The calculation of advance angle, cross wind, temperature and other factors will cause the shooting to fail, not to mention the most important data.  .

    The Israeli armored soldiers were dumbfounded.

    At the same time, the Iraqi armored soldiers were firing rapidly. After eliminating the loader and using an automatic loading machine, the firing speed was very high. They could fire a shell in almost ten seconds, so that two people appeared.  The shells were fired towards the same target.

    In this encounter, Iraq avenged the Arab soldiers who were sleeping on the battlefields of the Middle East war. The battle broke out for only five minutes. An armored regiment of the leading force of the 35th Armored Division of Iraq defeated an Israeli armored regiment.  The ace armored brigade, more than eighty of Israel's proudest Merkava MK3 tanks, were blown to pieces on the battlefield. The 460th Armored Brigade can almost be wiped out from the Israeli Defense Forces as an organic whole.

    This is the first time since the founding of the state of Israel!

    Ali commanded his armored regiment and entered the Gaza city. Here, Israel's 217th Armored Brigade and the Golani Infantry Brigade were still engaged in a fierce battle with Hamas.

    Hamas has suffered huge losses.

    Israel mobilized its most elite forces to encircle and suppress them. Hamas armed personnel lacked weapons and could only rely on their flesh and blood to protect their homes. The main force of Hamas, more than a thousand fighters, has now  Less than three hundred remained.

    They were fighting in Gaza City for half a month!  Now, their Arab brothers have finally come to support them!

    After the main force of the 35th Armored Division arrived, one armored regiment was left to enter the city. The remaining two crossed Gaza City and began to march toward the Gaza border. They wanted to completely liberate Gaza.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Iraq was very successful this time. Suddenness was the key. Israel did not know at all that powerful Iraqi armored forces appeared on the side of the Sinai Peninsula, and their actions were very rapid.  Immediately after the Iraqi statement, the troops began to move out, and the Israelis did not know when they first crossed the border.

    The Iraqi armored forces attacked quickly, and it was not until they passed the Jewish settlements that Israel finally realized that something big had happened!

    However, they suddenly and sadly discovered that they could not even get a complete main armored brigade, and all those elite troops were transferred to the north and central part!

    It will take at least five hours to return quickly. During this time, the battle situation will change greatly.

    In Israel's standard tactics, direct confrontations between armored forces rarely occur. They prefer to use their own armed helicopters to deal with the opponent's tanks. However, they began to hesitate when calling helicopters over.  .

    Because four fighter jets took off from the Saudi air force base and have been hovering over the Sinai Peninsula, monitoring the airspace in Gaza. They believe that as long as the helicopter takes off, it will be shot down by the opponent.

    In fact, Iraq's tactics also used helicopters as the main force. However, when the helicopters took off from the frontline airport in the Sinai Peninsula, they failed to catch up with their own armored forces. Ali ran too fast until he entered Gaza City.  The armed helicopter just arrived.

    Although Ali knew that their operations were safer with the protection of helicopters, what was the mission of his armored forces?  Is it just used to deal with a few unlucky infantry?  of course not!  Just nowFighting against the enemy is so enjoyable!

    When he woke up, the surrounding situation had become extremely bad. When Rabin quickly walked into the conference room, a heated debate had already begun.

    "Now, the 460th Armored Brigade has been disabled. If we haven't taken any countermeasures, I'm afraid the Iraqis will be able to hit Tel Aviv tomorrow!" A voice said coldly.

    Rabin¡¯s heart tightened as it was Netanyahu¡¯s voice.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to become a registered member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
