Chapter 346 Awesome
Chapter 346 Awesome
If we have a cannon, of course we have to fire it.
The tank cabin was already very small, and now there were two bodies inside. If three more people were squeezed in, it would be really difficult to even turn around.
But we have no choice but to come in. If we stay outside the tank, we will be hit by the armored vehicle.
The donkey knows everything, but he really doesn't know how to drive a tank. As for Feng Biao, it is his first time in a tank.
It was extremely crowded and their movements were distorted, but it did not prevent Gao Yi and his men from firing.
The turret turned, and no one knew which loader pressed something. The tank shook slightly, and after it swayed slightly back and forth, the donkey shouted, "Good! A hit!"
It was much more difficult to miss the target with this shot than to hit it, because the armored vehicle drove between the two tanks and used the destroyed tank as a cover to block the anti-aircraft shells.
Then, Gao Yi and his tank fired a shot almost directly at the armored vehicle.
The shell automatically ejected and fell into the frame behind the breech block.
"Reload! Reload!"
The loader who was upgraded to gunner began to shout, but Gao Yi and Feng Biao looked at each other.
How to change?
“Pull this!”
The loader had to give instructions in his busy schedule. Gao Yi pulled a pressure rod next to the breech block, and the breech block opened smoothly.
Feng Biao pulled out a shell from behind. It was not difficult for him to hold it, but it was particularly difficult for him to move the shell with the warhead facing backwards.
Mainly because the space is too small and too crowded.
Gao Yi took the shell from Feng Biao's hand, carefully aimed the shell at the muzzle and stuffed it in. He pushed hard and the bolt was automatically locked.
The tank gun began to turn again, searching for the second armored vehicle that was still moving.
"Fire!"
"No, no, you can't fire!"
The donkey and the loader had an argument. Gao Yi was surprised why the loader, who had just been captured and surrendered immediately, dared to refuse the donkey's order.
The loader said cautiously: "If we destroy this armored vehicle, can you please not kill me?"
"Okay, I'll let you go! I won't kill you!"
Gao Yi agreed to the loader's request without hesitation.
The loader swallowed his saliva and said anxiously: "Watch me, watch me, watch me..."
This situation should be the easiest target for a tank gunner.
After all, the armored vehicle didn't seem to realize that the rear door was on fire and that his comrades had defected.
Everyone was waiting for the loader to perform his function, but the loader was in no hurry to fire at this moment. Instead, he waited until the armored vehicle suddenly stopped and then suddenly fired a shot.
The shell hit the rear of the armored vehicle.
Although the shot was a little off, it's good enough to hit the target.
Suddenly, all the threats disappeared, the enemies were gone.
"Hit!"
The loaders cheered with joy.
At this moment, Gao Yi still felt a bit like he was dreaming. It didn't feel real or realistic.
Donkey was also a little dazed. He looked at Gao Yi, then at the body under his feet that he couldn't get out, and suddenly asked, "Where's the driver?"
Gao Yi immediately said: "The driver is dead!"
At this point, Gao Yi looked at the loader and said kindly, "Tell me, how did the driver die?"
"Suddenly there was an explosion, and the commander ordered to reverse and leave, but the driver did not respond. They were together, and then the commander went into the cockpit to take a look. When he came out, he told them that the driver was dead, probably of a heart attack."
After finishing speaking smoothly, the loader hesitated for a moment and continued, "I think the driver must be sixty years old. It's normal for him to have heart disease, but the most important thing is that I am not in the same group with them. They didn't have enough manpower in one crew, so they asked me to load the shells."
The donkey said solemnly, "Russian tanks are all automatic loaders, with a crew of three."
"Yes, yes! They needed a loader, and I speak Russian and English, so the commander let me come."
Donkey waved his hand suddenly, and then he said to Gao Yi: "Now we can control this tank. If we can drive the tank out, the threat outside..."
Donkey really wanted to drive a tank out and fight the enemy.
Gao Yi hesitated a little and said, "The sighting instruments on the outside of this tank are all broken. Can we win a tank battle against a well-equipped tank? Besides, the crews on the other side are all ace tanks."
Gao Yi doesn't understand tanks, but he knows that a tank with complete observation and aiming equipment and a tank without observation and aiming equipment are two different concepts.
The former is the king of land warfare in today's world, and the latter is at best a steel coffin.
Donkey was a little tangled, but this time, Feng Biao said firmly: "Go, the ace crew is the same, it's better than getting beaten in the building."
After finishing speaking, Feng Biao said to Gao Yi earnestly: "It is safest to stay in the tank, rather than in the building. Do you understand?"
Donkey said without hesitation: "I can drive a tank! I'll go to the cockpit! You guys take the body out."
After saying that, Donkey stood up and stepped aside. Several people worked together to lift the body of the tank commander and push it out of the tank cabin, followed by the body of the gunner.
When carrying the bodies, it can be seen that the tank commander was quite short, at most 1.7 meters tall, and the gunner should be about 1.6 meters tall.
Relatively speaking, the space inside the M1A2 tank is really large. If it were a tank like the T72, with three more people inside, it would be impossible to squeeze in.
There is a small door behind the commander's seat. Open the door and you can get into the cockpit.
The driver drives the tank while lying down. To enter and exit, the turret needs to be rotated 90 degrees, and then the separate cockpit door can be opened upwards. However, it is too dangerous to go outside the tank now. It is best to go in through the emergency entrance and exit passage inside the turret.
But pulling the driver's body out of the driver's seat was a difficult process. Donkey took off his bulletproof vest and helmet, and then he crawled into the narrow passage.
After fiddling with it for a long time, Donkey said on the intercom: "Rotate the turret. I want to push the people out."
The turret rotated, and Donkey opened the cockpit door from the inside and pushed the driver's body out with difficulty. Then he closed the cockpit door again and said breathlessly: "Okay, now I can drive the tank. I can drive the tank through the observation window, but my night vision goggles don't work well in here. It would be best if you could give me some guidance."
At night, it was very dark outside, and without the tank's built-in night vision equipment, it was very unrealistic to drive the tank relying on the night vision goggles on your head.
At this time, the easiest solution is for the driver to lean out.
Why did so many tank crews like to drive with the top hatch open during World War II? It was because driving through the tank's observation window was too uncomfortable and inefficient.
The space inside the tank turret is much more spacious now. Gao Yi looked at Feng Biao and said, "Can I sit in the tank commander's seat?"
Only the conductor can lean forward to observe.
Feng Biao shook his head and said, "No, I will be the commander, and you will be responsible for loading the shells. You will go wherever I say. You don't understand."
Gao Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't command the tanks to escape...they are still here."
Feng Biao was speechless for a moment, and Gao Yi whispered, "You're not really going to do this, are you?"
"Wouldn't we call them down if we were to run?"
Feng Biao grumbled in dissatisfaction, and then he said: "Besides, the tank is in the hands of others."
Why did Donkey rush to drive the tank? It was because he was afraid that Gao Yi and the others would run away with the tank.
Driving a severely damaged tank to deal with two tanks and several armored vehicles is actually quite risky.
But at this point, even if we drive a tank outside to fight the enemy, it is better than allowing the enemy to fire at the building without restraint.
Even if it can interfere with the enemy, it would be good.
Feng Biao half leaned out of the turret, looked around, and said on the intercom: "This is the Warhammer Mercenaries. Everyone listen up. We have controlled the tanks and we are about to attack the enemy. Tomahawk Mercenaries and Lego Mercenaries, pay attention to cooperation and avoid accidental injuries. Please reply if you get it."
All friendly forces had to be notified and confirmed before doing this. Feng Biao didn't want to leave half of his body exposed and get shot to death by friendly forces' bullets.
The heavy machine gun cannot cause any damage to the tank, but it is easy to kill a person exposed outside.
The Lego Mercenaries were the first to respond. One of them said urgently on the intercom: "Lego received, requesting support. We are surrounded by armored vehicles. The situation is extremely critical. Requesting support!"
"Tomahawk received. We can send infantry to fight with rocket launchers. Over."
In contrast, the superior and inferior judge.
There were only a few Tomahawks left, and when they saw the chance they were willing to join the battle with rockets.
Lego, Lego that has already run away once, if Gao Yi cares about their life or death, there must be some special reason.
Feng Biao looked at Gao Yi and said, "Go rescue Lego, and attack Wei to save Zhao."
Chinese people still have an advantage in communication, they can understand each other in just one sentence.
To rescue the Lego Mercenaries and divert the enemy's attention from the office building to the factory is very simple, but if you want to explain it in English, it will take a long time.
Gao Yi immediately said: "Okay, it's better to besiege Wei to save Zhao."
Feng Biao immediately said on the intercom: "Back off, back off in a straight line."
The tank hesitated for a moment, then began to retreat in a straight line. After retreating several dozen meters, Feng Biao said, "Okay, turn to the right."
The tank stopped, turned half a circle to the left, stopped again, and began to turn right.
It seems that the donkey is not very skilled at the job.
Feng Biao said urgently: "Forward, forward, slightly to the left, I see the enemy's armored vehicles, stop."
The tank stopped, Feng Biao shrunk into the turret and said, "We are shooting at an armored vehicle. How can we aim at this?"
The loader began to control the muzzle and began to turn. Feng Biao leaned out again and said, "A little bit to the left, a little bit more, a little bit more... OK, it's aimed."
The gunner also had an observation telescope, but it was impossible to search and aim at the enemy's position in the cover of night, so Feng Biao could only guide him to aim at the armored vehicle.
The gunner began to search for the armored vehicle with difficulty in the dark sight.
Gao Yi was a little impatient. He whispered, "Let's try firing one?"
Feng Biao was also impatient and said, "What are you fighting for..."
Before Feng Biao could finish his words, the loader fired because he listened to Gao Yi.
The main reason was that when Gao Yi entered the tank, he left a huge psychological trauma on the loader.
With a bang, the muzzle of the gun shook and the shell automatically jumped out. Gao Yi quickly pulled out a shell, but before he finished reloading, he heard Feng Biao exclaim in astonishment: "Damn! This can also hit the target?"
The left and right may be aligned, but the up and down may not be aligned. If the pitch angle is slightly deviated, the shell will either fly over the armored vehicle or hit the ground prematurely.
Being able to hit the target with just rough aim is like hitting a fly flying in the air with a bullet.
Feng Biao said urgently: "Back up, back up! Quick, quick, quick!"
One shot was fired and it actually destroyed an armored vehicle. This alone would definitely attract the enemy's attention.
The loader turned around and yelled at Gao Yi: "You are awesome!"
The tank was driven by a donkey, commanded by Feng Biao, and the cannon was fired by a captured loader. Then he said Gao Yi was really awesome.
The donkey also said on the intercom: "Awesome! Really awesome!"
Well, after all, it was Gao Yi who captured the tank, so it’s right to say that he is powerful.
