Chapter 343 Iron Charge
Chapter 343 Iron Charge
This mechanized infantry team is too weak, so these tanks are obviously too strong.
As soon as the rocket launcher shooter opened fire, the tank gun over there responded immediately. This was not a question of accuracy, but that the tank gun could not turn that fast. Therefore, the two tanks in front were firing in a predictive manner, that is, before firing, the tank gun had roughly aimed at the position where they expected there to be a threat.
The tank guns are so accurate, but the infantry on the armored vehicles are so weak, there must be a problem.
Cannon fodder also has value. No one would intentionally send a lot of people to die just for the sake of dying.
In this battle, which can actually be considered an upright one, the purpose of cannon fodder is, of course, only to attract attention from the real elite and share the pressure.
If the cannon fodder can be hit by more shells, the main force on the other side will be hit by fewer shells. Even if the cannon fodder can bear one more rocket, it will be good.
With this understanding, Feng Biao decisively chose to shift his attention to the rear, that is, the back of the building with no entrance.
Feng Biao ran very fast, and Gao Yi followed closely beside him, although the distance was a bit too close. Although being too close in indoor combat was a taboo, there was no point in keeping a distance of several meters. They would still die if hit by a shot, so it was better to stay close.
But Feng Biao suddenly stopped when he was about to enter a room. If Gao Yi had not controlled his body extremely efficiently, he would have hit Feng Biao's back.
Feng Biao didn't explain anything. He just lowered his head and turned to the other side, crossing four rooms in a row, then suddenly rushed into the room and immediately stood in front of the window.
It is very dangerous to expose himself to the tank's thermal imager, but Feng Biao doesn't care about that now.
Sure enough, the two tanks were less than fifty meters away from the office building.
"Cio!"
Feng Biao couldn't help but curse, because apart from cursing, he really didn't know what else to say.
When does a tank hurtle toward a building?
Is there an item in the tank's manual that allows you to rush into a building and fight indoors?
Just when Feng Biao couldn't help but curse out loud, one of the two tanks moving side by side suddenly opened fire.
The gun barrels of the two tanks were basically pointing straight ahead, and when the distance was less than fifty meters, the tank guns opened fire.
Then it was this shot that made Gao Yi realize the value of the weather vane.
With a loud bang, a big hole was opened in the wall behind the building, but what was important was that the location that was hit was only a dozen meters away from Gao Yi and his team.
If Feng Biao had not changed rooms, had not changed rooms miraculously and decisively, then Gao Yi and the other four would have died by this shot.
Feng Biao seems to have a magical sixth sense about danger, and he can always lead everyone away from danger.
"Amazing!"
Gao Yi was stunned. Feng Biao's magic even made him ignore the danger in front of him. He only cared about cheering for Feng Biao's magic.
Feng Biao said sternly: "What the hell is going on here!"
The enemy responded to Feng Biao's question very appropriately.
Anyone who has a little knowledge of tactics and how to use tanks would find it difficult to understand the enemy's thinking at this moment, because tanks should not be driven directly into the wall under any circumstances.
But now, the two tanks suddenly changed direction slightly while moving. Just now the tanks were moving side by side, but now, the two tanks were driving to both sides at the same time, leaving the middle road free and sandwiching the three armored vehicles in the middle.
Feng Biao didn't need to explain, Gao Yi, a new recruit on the battlefield, could see the enemy's tactical intentions.
The two tanks first acted as shields for the armored vehicles to clear the way for them. Because when the distance was still far, the threat from the office building could only be from the front. The two tanks in the front could at least block the rocket attacks from the front for the armored vehicles behind.
When they arrived in front of the building, the threat faced by the convoy consisting of two tanks and three armored vehicles changed from the front to the sides.
So at this time the two tanks made way, allowing the armored vehicles to come to the middle, and the tanks to withstand possible attacks from both sides.
Of course, it is impossible to avoid risks 100%, but at least half of the potential threats have been blocked.
It's like performing a stunt, but it's a stunt performed by a tank and armored vehicle convoy. Don't underestimate this seemingly simple position change and tactical coordination. Among all the armies in the world, there are definitely no more than three countries that can perform this.
Anyway, this is definitely not something the Iraqis can pull off, absolutely not.
Gao Yi understood, but he didn't understand the value of this move. Feng Biao and Lin Xianghua said in unison: "Russians?"
Gao Yi didn't understand.
Why are tanks made by Americans and belonging to the Iraqi National Defense Forces now related to the Russians?
No one opened fire, because shooting at a tank with a rifle would be foolish.
The two tanks opened fire at the same time, firing at the wall in front of them.
Two large holes were blasted out on the wall of the office building, and the remote-controlled machine gun on top of the tank turned towards Gao Yi and his team.
The tank formation reached the back wall of the office building at a not very fast speed.
At this time, Feng Biao had already left the window. He said quickly: "Americans don't have so many tricks. They don't have this tactic. The only ones who use tank and armored vehicle charges are Russia and Dongda!"
Lin Xianghua said excitedly: "Russians, only Russians!" The tactic of armored vehicles carrying infantry quickly rushing through the artillery coverage area, rushing into the enemy's position and getting off the vehicle to fight is a tactic shared by several major land power in the world, and this is not surprising.
But, note this but, Americans are accustomed to using air superiority to eliminate ground threats and then sending in infantry to mop up the mess.
The University of Tokyo has demonstrated precise coordination between tanks and armored vehicles during exercises, but it is impossible for soldiers from the University of Tokyo to appear here on a large scale.
That leaves only one possibility: only the Russians, who worship the iron torrent tactics and regard the charge of ground armored forces as their trump card, and who truly are their trump card, have elite mechanized forces trained and cultivated over a long period of time, and can easily pull off this tactic that seems simple but actually tests the degree of tacit understanding and coordination between teams.
This is a tactic that laymen watch for fun, experts see the details, those who understand will understand, and those who don’t understand will not understand even the explanation.
As if to provide a footnote to Feng Biao and Lin Xianghua's judgment, the donkey ran in with blood all over its face.
A donkey rushed in, limping, with one arm hanging down and a face stained with blood and ashes.
“钢铁冲锋!”
Donkey's tone was full of despair, and he said sternly: "It's the Burning Legion's engineering corps!"
I don’t understand the terminology!
But Gao Yi understood one word.
Burning Legion?
People had already started getting off the armored vehicle in the middle of the tanks. Gao Yi and his team's position could not be seen, and even if they could be seen, they did not dare to show their heads, because if they did, they would be shot by the remote-controlled machine gun on the tank.
This is truly a desperate situation.
At this moment, a life-saving grenade was thrown from the roof.
The Tomahawk Mercenaries also have people on the second and third floors. They can't just sit there and watch the enemy causing trouble below and do nothing. At this time, throwing grenades from a high position is the best option, and almost the only option.
However, you can only wait until the infantry on the ground leave the armored vehicle before throwing a grenade, otherwise it is impossible to harm the infantry inside the armored vehicle. If you wait until the infantry get off the vehicle before throwing a grenade, it means being shot by the infantry.
"I only have five people left, five!"
The donkey seemed desperate. He said to Gao Yi, "If we can't stop it, we'll all be finished."
The Tomahawk Mercenaries were no longer able to stop the enemy's attack.
Now we can only rely on the Warhammer Mercenaries.
Gao Yi was not panicked, but he really didn't know what to do.
How to fight when tanks and armored vehicles rush to the base of the wall?
Should I use a pistol to fight or a hammer to smash it?
Also, if the enemy drives the tanks to the base of the wall, will their next step be to use explosives to completely flatten the building, or to cover the infantry by rushing into the building through the windows to engage in indoor combat?
No one knows the answer until the enemy actually takes action.
At this time, a voice full of despair sounded in the headphones.
"Mine!"
The only thing that can cause damage to tanks and armored vehicles is anti-tank mines.
It’s not that the rocket launcher is not powerful enough, but at this angle, if you want to use the rocket launcher to hit the tank below, you can only lean out and fire, but it is obvious that the enemy infantry will not give this opportunity.
Then anti-tank mines are the only option. And, the enemy focused on the position directly in front when they charged just now. They have blown up the area from the first floor to the fourth floor one by one. The firepower preparation began before the charge.
I couldn't figure out the enemy's intention just now, but now I understand it all.
Even if the Tomahawk Mercenaries wanted to throw anti-tank mines, they had to go around the middle position and throw them down through the window. But at this time, the enemy once again demonstrated their extraordinary skills.
The tank did not move. The armored vehicle that had just dropped off several people retreated quickly, and then used the machine gun on the roof to sweep upwards at the windows that might pose a threat.
The goal is not to kill the enemy, but to suppress them with firepower.
Gao Yi didn't understand the value of being able to use tanks and armored vehicles to have the flexibility of infantry, and he just felt desperate.
The time is very strict and the angle is very tight.
The Tomahawk Mercenaries still threw an anti-tank mine, directly out of the side window.
An anti-tank mine will not explode if it falls to the ground, but you can tape a grenade to it and use it as a fuse to detonate the mine.
The anti-tank mine is detonated in the air and explodes in mid-air before it hits the ground. If there is a group of infantry on the ground, this large mine can kill everyone instantly.
However, there were two tanks left below, and the three armored vehicles had retreated to a safe enough distance, so the explosion position of the anti-tank mine was perfect, but it was impossible to cause fatal damage to the tanks.
However, the anti-tank mines still had some effect.
The mines were dropped from Gao Yi and his team's side, so the mines that exploded in the air destroyed the machine gun on the tank's roof, and the windows of Gao Yi and his team were blocked, temporarily eliminating the threat.
That was it, there were no further results.
