Text Chapter 1109 Night Battle

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Tank-to-tank bombardment was a scene from World War II. In modern warfare, the task of armored forces is not to confront the opponent's armored forces. That is the task that the air force should complete.

    So, what is the mission of the armored forces?  That would naturally attract the opponent's armored forces to open areas and create opportunities for the air force to annihilate them!

    During the Gulf War, most of the Iraqi armored forces were destroyed by coalition fighter planes.  The missiles coming down from the sky are the arrival of death. If they enter the urban area, then the troops of both sides will be dispersed. It is definitely not a good thing for the Israelis, because they have few people to begin with, and once they enter the city  Fighting street fighting in the area is not their territory. What they have to face is not only the armored troops of the Iraqis, but also the rocks flying from unknown places at all times.

    At the beginning, after occupying the entire West Bank area, the first words of the then commander Rabin were not relief, but worry.

    They are all Arabs. Can we control so many Arabs?

    No matter how it develops, if all Jews from all over the world are brought to Israel, Israel¡¯s population base will still be too low.

    The population of Arabs is more than a hundred times theirs!  In the past, the Arab countries were just afraid of being beaten, but now, it is different.

    They are inspired by victory and want to be liberated!  They wanted to drive out the Israelites who had been oppressing them!

    Therefore, in various Arab areas, it is difficult for the Israelis to regard them as their own land. Although they use bulldozers to forcibly destroy some Arab buildings and use them to build their own Jewish settlements, they cannot rush  Go all Arabs.

    The lands that Israel occupied after the third Middle East War have never been recognized by the international community, and Israel has not passed legislation to turn those lands into their lands.

    Iraq¡¯s Ericsson Godeye early warning aircraft has simultaneously informed the Iraqi armored forces through the data link that the enemy has now left Nablus and is only five kilometers away from them.

    The battle is about to begin, and the First Armored Division is full of confidence.

    The 1st Armored Division, also known as the Medina Division, is a unit with outstanding merits. They are the proud Republican Guard. They are a fist of President Kusay!

    The 247th Armored Brigade also received news from the armored reconnaissance vehicles on the front line that Iraqi armored forces were about to appear in front of them.

    They just need to stay here, hold off the Iraqis, and wait until dawn, which is victory!

    They didn¡¯t know that what greeted them was not the Iraqi ground troops. Their armed helicopters had already passed the ground troops and flew towards the 247th Armored Brigade.

    The self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery accompanying the armored brigade conducted emergency firing after discovering the situation. However, they did not achieve much results. On the contrary, their design attracted killers in the sky, who used anti-tank missiles to attack them.  They were destroyed one by one.

    Although the armed helicopters are still the main Mi-24 armed helicopters in Iraq, the anti-tank missiles have become advanced "Cornet" anti-tank missiles. Needless to say, the Merkava MK2 tanks equipped by the 247 Armored Brigade are American.  The M1A1 main battle tank cannot withstand its blow.

    Several long-range radar stations of the Israeli army in the West Bank have been blown up by Iraq. Now Israeli fighter planes have not been dispatched. Therefore, Iraqi Mi-24 helicopters can fly here at will.

    Those Israeli armored forces are their targets!

    However, in order to avoid accidental attacks, armed helicopters can only launch the first wave of attacks when the two sides have not yet come into contact. After the melee, it is easy to observe during the day, but at night, it is not so obvious. Tanks are not like  Like fighter planes, equipped with an identifier friend or foe, identifying friend or foe is also a very complicated problem.

    In the first wave of attacks by armed helicopters, the 247th Armored Brigade suffered heavy losses. More than 20 armored vehicles were hit from the air.

    However, they are still moving forward.

    The 247th Armored Division is equipped with the Merkava MK2 tank, which was produced until 1989. Compared with the MK3 type, the biggest shortcoming is that it is only equipped with a 105 mm caliber gun.

    This type of artillery has always been Israel's main equipment. It uses self-developed shells and has a high first-time hit rate at a distance of 1,600 meters.

    However, it is still somewhat difficult for them to engage in battle with Iraqi tanks with 125 mm artillery.

    In the past, although the main gun of the T-72 tank was fierce enough, the backward night vision equipment made the Iraqis' night fighting capabilities not outstanding.?, there is not much advantage over Western tanks, but it is different now. Under Kusai's personal care, this tank has excellent sighting equipment and can shoot at a distance of more than 2,000 meters.  other side.

    ¡°Moreover, the Iraqi armored forces adopted another tactic.

    After discovering that the Israeli armored troops in front started to attack, the Iraqi armored troops stopped advancing, and then the tank troops put on reverse gear!

    Yes, it¡¯s reverse gear. If you look at it from the sky, you can see that the current formation is that the Israeli armored forces are attacking. They defeated the Iraqi armored forces, and the Iraqi troops are retreating.

    Of course, if you look carefully, you can find that this is not the case at all.

    Although the Iraqi armored forces are retreating, they are not completely defeated. The kind of soldiers who retreat before contact will not appear in the Iraqi army.

    When he was researching a new type of tank, Kusai issued certain technical requirements. For example, a mechanical hydraulic gearbox and a fully automatic transmission mechanism must be used. This also gave birth to a new combat method for the armored forces, backward combat.

    The turret of a tank can rotate 360 ??degrees. However, the armor of a tank is always thickest at the front. Therefore, you must aim your front at the most dangerous place, which is the direction of the Israeli attack.

    In this way, the tank must have the ability to reverse at high speed and the control ability of the tank driver. Therefore, the Iraqi armored forces have conducted such training during normal training. Now, this is the first time that this combat style has been put into practice.

    When the entire armored brigade retreated, the main gun had already fired. At this time, the distance between the two sides was two thousand meters. At this distance, although the hit rate of the T-72M1's 125mm main gun was not very high, it still had a high hit rate.  It can destroy the opponent, and they are very safe, because the maximum range of the opponent's 105mm main gun is only 1,600 meters.

    This distance of four hundred meters is the distance between life and death.

    When Genghis Khan's light cavalry traveled across the entire Eurasian continent, one of their tactics was to be chased by the enemy while shooting arrows backwards, constantly killing and injuring the opponent. In the end, the pursuers became fewer and fewer until there were no more.

    The Israeli armored forces are very cunning. When the Iraqi armored forces fired the first round of artillery fire, they knew that they had been fooled and that the other party was trying to rape them!

    Now, when they are the most important defensive force in Nablus, although it is important to attack the enemy, self-protection is also very necessary before they have sufficient capabilities, so they immediately chose to withdraw from the battle.

    They completed a U-turn on their position, then broke away at high speed, preparing to return to Nablus.

    It¡¯s a pity that they can¡¯t wait for the opportunity.

    Seeing that the Israeli armored troops were about to retreat, the First Armored Brigade in front immediately rushed forward. However, before they opened fire, they received a message from the data link, telling them to keep a sufficient distance from the Israeli armored troops.

    Because, the Air Force¡¯s Su-25 fleet finally arrived.

    Like the American A-10 attack aircraft, the Su-25 is an excellent attack aircraft. It can take off and land at simple airports near the front line to perform close combat support missions. It has strong anti-tank capabilities and can mount multiple missiles.  Anti-tank missile; has good low-altitude maneuverability and can cooperate with the armed helicopter Mi-24 at low altitude while carrying bombs to cooperate with ground troops; it has strong protection, and there are 24 mm thick titanium alloy bulletproof plates at the bottom and surrounding of the cockpit.

    The Su-25 attack aircraft imported by Iraq has focused on improving the fire control system on the original basis, making it an excellent ground attack aircraft. It is equipped with Su-25 Kornet anti-tank missiles produced by Iraq.  -25 attack planes flew over the battlefield. Their arrival once again stole the limelight of the 1st Armored Division.

    After the 1st Armored Brigade advanced again, the ground was full of destroyed tanks. Due to the loss of air superiority, the Israeli ground forces were in a difficult situation.

    The 247th Armored Brigade lost two-thirds of its troops, and the remaining tanks retreated to Nablus in panic.

    On the northern line, the 10th Armored Division defeated the 323rd Armored Brigade and successfully entered the suburbs of Nablus.

    The Iraqi armored forces did not hesitate. Before dawn, they completely entered the city of Nablus and launched an operation to eliminate the remaining Jewish armored forces.

    The armored forces that followed quickly expanded their results. The Desert Panther infantry fighting vehicles of the 47th Infantry Division followed and expanded their results, planting Arab flags all over the West Bank.

    The Jordanian 6th Infantry Division and the Saudi 2nd Armored Division and the 4th Armored Division also followed and arrived.The specified location is reached.

    Among them, the two Saudi armored divisions, the Second Armored Division is heading south, showing the momentum of preparing to go south to Jerusalem, while the Fourth Armored Division is heading north, as if it will enter the Galilee area at any time.  (To be continued.
