Chapter 5865: old armor
Old armor
"The action must be fast. 1 The company commander and the platoon commander were roaring in front of the on-board radio, with a mighty expression like a lion about to rush.
They are all battle-hardened veterans who have participated in all the battles since the formation of the new army of Anmor. Several important battles in the past have left their **** figures. And in this Anmore War, they almost did not make any achievements. Most of those who participated in the battle were recruits who only joined the army last year, and they were all sweating for these recruits. Whether ten months of hard training has any effect, now is the time to test.
"Ten seconds to check vehicle weapons and equipment 1 An officer's voice cried out.
According to the order of the superior, the commanders were ready, the muzzle of the armored vehicle was slightly inclined, and they just waited for an order and set off immediately. But at this moment, the armored vehicle made a clunky start-up sound.
If Lin Rui has any biggest dissatisfaction with this team, it is the chariot.
Anmor's chariots are not many, and it is very difficult to get equipment. Some important traffic arteries and hub areas have long been controlled by the Oromi Federation. In the places currently under the control of the Anmor army, there are no transportation channels at all. Some of the chariots used by the Anmor army were captured during battles. The equipment is old, and compared to the Orumi Federal Army, there is a great distance.
The other part came from smuggling channels. This was the result of Lin Rui and Kassan's negotiations with other neighboring countries, and they were transported from neighboring countries.
Of course, Lin Rui knew that the quality of the chariots also played a very important role in order for mechanized troops to swept thousands of troops, and the quantity was also a very important factor.
Kassan also wants to increase the number of troops, but the number of armored vehicles is not enough; he wants to increase the number of tanks, but the equipment obtained through these channels is old-fashioned, and the quality of personnel is not high enough. So now the Anmor army's chariots, in addition to capturing the enemy, only a few are smuggled. And for the consumption of mechanized troops, special transportation of fuel and ammunition is required.
The Anmor army is now a clever woman who can't make money without rice. Their logistics transportation vehicles are insufficient, and even some civilian trucks are requisitioned, plus mules and horses.
That's right, the traditional mules and camels are used to transport the mechanized troops.
So the quality of this unit can be imagined, and that's it, it's still Kassan's baby unit. I had fought against the Orumi Federal Army before, and I was reluctant to use it.
In the final analysis, modern warfare is carried out with backward equipment and tactical thinking. Fortunately, the Orumi Federation Army is not very clever, especially Ankewei's troops are made up of many temporary pieces.
Although traditional infantry armored fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers are all unbearable on the actual battlefield. But after all, as the attacker, the traditional main battle tank plus light armored infantry fighting vehicle and armored personnel carrier to quickly attack the depth of the defender is still the most basic tactics.
These armors can't hold anti-tank missiles, so the upper part of the turret has a steel cage welded with a temporary steel frame. This was a temporary measure to prevent missile attacks that was carried out not long ago.
Judging from the actual combat effect, it is also a helpless approach to increase the defensive top steel cage before the battle.
The destruction of anti-tank missiles is as easy as opening the cap of a beer bottle; then the process of destroying more armored vehicles with weaker defenses, especially the process of being hit and destroyed by anti-tank missiles, is like a continuous puncture of flying needles It's as easy as a balloon!
This means that after the main battle tank is hit by a tank missile, as long as the turret does not fly, the tank crew still has at least a 20% to 30% chance of escaping.
Moreover, there is at least one combat team in a general armored vehicle, with 7 to 8 people; plus the driver and gunner, there are 9 to 10 people.
If an armored vehicle is destroyed, then nearly 10 people will be lost immediately, and there will be no chance to jump out of the vehicle and escape.
The Oromi Federal Army has had a case where armored vehicles with weak shells were blasted by the Avengers machine guns in batches, resulting in large-scale battle damage to active forces. Lin Rui did not want to repeat the mistakes of the enemy.
Moreover, their infantry fighting vehicles and armored transport vehicles are all related to the Oromi Federal Army, and they have begun to equip old tanks in large numbers as early as the 1960s.
Most of the armored vehicles participating in the war are basically the equipment of the fathers or even the grandfathers of the soldiers currently participating in the war. And most of the armored vehicles involved in the war still only have the most basic metal shell; neither the additional armor nor the explosive reactive armor commonly found on main battle tanks is missing.
In the face of ubiquitous powerful anti-armor weapons, it is simply outdated as a free gift. How to quickly transport troops on the modern battlefield and accompany the main battle tank to attack has been a world-class problem so far.
Many countries have begun to explore the reloading of infantry fighting vehicles or even tanks; but in most cases, they are still unable to withstand the "light" blow of individual anti-tank missiles. Some big countries even consider replacing infantry fighting vehicles and infantry transport vehicles with field jeeps such as Humvees, but it seems unrealistic now. Because Humvees can't even stop machine gun bullets.
In the troops of the Anmore Army, the armored vehicle was the btr-70 armored transport vehicle that the Soviet Army used to fight in Afghanistan. The additional armor is incomplete, and some have been dismantled long ago. In order to enhance the firepower, ags-17 "flame" automatic grenade launchers were installed on part of the btr-70 turrets equipped by the troops.
There is also the m113 series of armored transport vehicles known as "battlefield taxis", which are owned by the US military. He entered the US military in the 1960s and is now over 60 years old. Its body is made of aluminum alloy material and adopts box-shaped design.
The crew compartment is located at the rear of the car body and adopts a partition design. There are 5 folding seats on the left and right sides. In addition to the two crew members, the crew can carry up to 11 people. Because there are no shooting holes, it makes The crew cannot fight in the car. In terms of weapon system, the car is equipped with a 12.7mm m2 machine gun on the full-circle rotating conning tower at the commander's position with 2,000 rounds of ammunition.
Although the m113 series of armored transport vehicles is widely praised by all parties for its simple structure, reliable use, and strong adaptability, it is destined to become a distant history with the rapid evolution of war.
At present, this kind of vehicle of the US military is basically only equipped with the National Guard.
These armored vehicles are extremely fragile, regardless of the tank main gun, anti-tank missiles such weapons. Only the prg series bazooka in the hands of the soldiers and the 30mm cannon on the bmp-2 infantry fighting vehicle can turn it into a ball of fireworks. In the support force, there is even an M2 half-tracked vehicle of the US military, which is a remnant of World War II that can be entered into the museum.
Anyway, that's how the equipment is. The only one I can get is the t62 tank, but this thing is also 50 years ago. The rate of fire is slow, the elevation of the artillery is correct, but although it is old, the t-62 tank is still a powerful weapon to support infantry.
Lin Rui can only use this so-called mechanized force according to the actual situation.
He even worried that these old vehicles would break down on the battlefield, but there was no time to think about them now.
The drum of battle has been sounded, and even if it is to climb, one has to climb to the battlefield.
The soldiers who were in a state of excitement only heard the rough voice of the company commander and roared again: "Little bastards! You must go forward bravely and tear out the enemy's heart! Let the enemy see our Anmor army. The benefits of armor! What are we? We are armored soldiers! Who is too timid to go on. Get out of the car now, get me home, and leave the equipment for me! There are no cowards in my company."
He couldn't hear the next words, he just felt his brain was full of blood.
The chariot team was finally dispatched, and at the same time the dense gunshots in front began to sound.
While the soldiers drove their chariots to follow their comrades forward, they kept turning their heads to look at the frontal battle situation. Veterans could tell what the gunshot was. The sound of Da Da is a light machine gun, and the relatively low sound of the linked sound is the latest AK47 sound. These sounds are mixed with the explosive sound of the grenade, and soon sounded on the battlefield.
It's a pity that many soldiers are in the car, and they can't see the specific battle situation. It must be very intense. I just want to be able to get into the battle quickly.
Although they couldn't see it, Ankewei's Orumi Federation troops could see it clearly.
General Claude felt a little numb in his scalp.
On the Oromi Federation side, it was Atley's troops who were fighting. These swarming troops, although not very effective, are supported by a certain number. Still quite powerful.
The team that Atley has painstakingly managed is his last elite, and has made great contributions to him in many expeditions, so Atley also specially set up a team for this housekeeping team. The special name Black Spear, the weapons and equipment they use are basically painted black, which looks very shocking. Before Atley took refuge in the Orumi Federation, the Oromi Federation army and the army had fought against this unit, and they had both wins and losses, and to a certain extent also recognized the combat effectiveness of this unit.
However, in front of the troops of the Anmor Army, this rather combat-effective force seemed to be kneaded in mud. Facing the impact of the black spear, the chariots of the Anmor army fanned out, and various firearms fired violently at them. These Black Spear troops fell one by one as if a strong wind swept through them, and soon disintegrated.
Atley had closed his eyes and didn't dare to look at it at all. After all, he only has a small number of chariots, which he uses to fight the armored group of the Anmor army. This was not a fight at all, but a one-sided slaughter.
Eventually he couldn't help himself and ordered a retreat.
clap clap!
clap clap clap!
Cassan's cousin, the young Anmore junior officer, took the gun himself and shot intently on the armored vehicle.
In his ears, there was silence between heaven and earth, and there seemed to be only the monotonous sound of machine guns.
In his eyes, there is only the figure of the enemy getting closer and closer, and the enemy in the sight.
Every time the trigger is pulled, an enemy is killed, or an armed truck is destroyed.
The soldiers of the Orumi Federation Army obviously did not expect that these Anmor people were so powerful in combat, and they were killed before they even realized what had happened.
Several wrecked and smoking vehicles lay on the side of the road, bursting with fire and thick smoke.
Another Anmore armored fighting vehicle killed the last enemy around him and slowly reached the vicinity of the old-fashioned tank. He didn't help, and the little officer didn't notice his approach. He just shot with all his heart, as if he were shooting targets on the training ground.
The last three armed trucks, finally realizing that the opposing tanks were invincible, turned around and ran.
clap clap clap!
The large-caliber machine gun fired three consecutive shots, and a truck was destroyed, lost control and finally overturned and fell to the side of the road.
The little officer breathed a sigh of relief. He still didn't realize that the company commander's chariot was near him, or he realized it, but he didn't have time to pay attention to him.
What he is most anxious to do now is to collect all the intact weapons and ammunition. This kung fu took him a full twenty minutes. At this time, the gunfire on the battlefield had basically subsided.
In the end, after a hasty count, this chariot killed more than 30 enemies and destroyed seven vehicles.
The company commander in the other chariot appeared at this time and greeted him.
The young officer's face was covered with gunpowder smoke, but the sweat had opened several distinct ravines on it.
"Company commander, do you think I can get the military medal?" The little officer said cautiously.
"You have to ask the commander of the headquarters." The company commander glared at him angrily.
"Oh," the little officer said in disappointment, muttering and lowering his head.
He didn't have the guts to go to the officer.
The mercenary commander of that command is said to be a famous Anmor fighting hero with multiple wounds. It is said that he killed many enemies in the defense of Al Kahn. What he hates most is the unpromising guy, and he always has a cold face.
However, as if God blessed him, Lin Rui's chariot appeared in front of him from behind. With a suspicious look on his face, he looked at the messed up corpses of the enemy and the wreckage of more than a dozen vehicles, and then walked to the little officer with a suspicious look.
"Sir, can I get a military medal?" The little officer finally summoned up his courage and said. Although he killed a lot of enemies, his own chariot was also lost, and the track was blown off by a rocket. I don't know how to calculate the credit.
Lin Rui turned to look at the company commander.
The company commander immediately stepped forward and explained: "His tank killed more than 30 enemies, destroyed several vehicles, including the light armored one, and seized a lot of equipment, but his track was also broken. "
Lin Rui laughed suddenly, patted the little officer on the shoulder, and said, "Of course, I will tell Kassan that I will give you a military medal when the battle is over."
The little officer's face suddenly burst into a smile, and his heart was full of joy, and he didn't hear the following words.
In fact, there is no more words below, because Lin Rui has not finished speaking, the continued whistle sounded again and again, and the reconnaissance vehicle of the signal trooper notified that the enemy was coming again!
