Chapter 347 Ace Team
Chapter 347 Ace Team
I never thought that I would have the opportunity to be a tank loader in this life, and I got to engage in actual combat right away without even going through the familiarization process, and directly destroyed three armored vehicles.
It is not convenient to show off this record because no one will believe it and people will say it is too fake.
"Aren't the tank crews yours? Then what about the armored vehicle crews? Are they yours or someone else?"
Gao Yi loaded a shell, and then he had the leisure to ask the loader for more information.
The loader said without hesitation: "We received the order at around midnight, and then some foreigners arrived at our camp. I didn't see all of them, but I saw four foreigners from the tank crew. They were very short and very old. I entered the car with them. There were also three people from the armored vehicle crew. There were six people in the armored vehicle crew and twelve people in the tank crew, a total of eighteen people. They drove into the camp, but some did not come with us."
This is the key point.
Free Wind found a unit that was actually controlled by a tribal armed force in the Iraqi National Defense Forces, but they did not trust the abilities of these Iraqis, so they provided their own crews.
Gao Yi continued: "What about the infantry? Are the infantry your people?"
"Most of the infantrymen on the armored vehicles are ours, but some are not. They are from the Wehrmacht special forces."
Now it is clear.
Free Wind found high-level crew members, but they did not send their own special forces. They still used Iraqis, but they found relatively elite troops instead of completely mechanized infantry.
No wonder there is such a big gap in performance between tanks and infantry.
But if the Liberty Winds were not with the British, and did not come with the Iraqi tank and armored formations, then where were they?
While Gao Yi was thinking about this, Feng Biao said urgently outside: "The armored vehicles are heading towards us. The armored vehicles have missiles. Retreat, retreat, retreat behind the building!"
Just attract the enemy's attention, don't think of yourself as the king of land warfare and charge into battle recklessly.
There are two tanks and five armored vehicles left. If the enemy attacks us all at once, we will be doomed.
The donkey began to reverse.
There is nothing to say at this time, just listen to the conductor.
But at this moment, Gao Yi's phone suddenly rang.
Feng Biao suddenly said, "No! No! The enemy is not going to attack us. It seems that the enemy is... in chaos?"
Feng Biao himself wasn't quite sure, although he was the only one who could observe from outside.
Gao Yi answered the phone, and then he heard a heavenly voice saying, "We're here."
Sherkin, it's Sherkin, reinforcements have arrived.
Gao Yi looked at his watch. It was twenty-eight minutes. Sherkin said they would be there in half an hour, and they really arrived.
In an instant, Gao Yi's voice became hoarse, and he trembled and said, "Which direction are you in? The office building, the factory, and the tank are all our people, don't hurt them by mistake!"
"tank?"
Sherkin was obviously confused by Gao Yi's report. He asked in astonishment, "Aren't all tanks enemies?"
"No, no! We destroyed a tank and robbed another tank!"
"Uh... We carry anti-tank missiles that can deal with tanks and armored vehicles. Drones have already flown over the battlefield and are telling us where your tanks are."
Gao Yi immediately said: "The lone tank behind the building is us."
"Is that the tank with the men outside it?"
Gao Yi immediately said to Feng Biao: "Wave!"
Feng Biao raised his hands and waved towards the sky.
"We have seen you. We have launched an attack, but we will not rush in immediately. We need to eliminate the enemy tanks before we can enter. Now establish radio communication."
The radio link is established by reporting the frequency band, and then you can talk on the walkie-talkie instead of having to make a phone call.
On the radio connection, Sherkin continued on the intercom: "We will attack from both sides."
Gao Yi and his men couldn't see how Sherkin's men were firing, but Feng Biao was still outside at that moment. He exclaimed in amazement, "What a precise shot! It's an anti-tank missile!"
Sherkin continued on the intercom: "We prioritize attacking the enemy's armored forces, but those helicopters seem to be about to take off."
Gao Yi had even forgotten about the British.
Since the British soldiers who entered the building were wiped out, the remaining British have not launched any more attacks, and the helicopters have remained in the factory area.
Just think about it and you can understand the plight of the British.
If the helicopter flew away directly, it would completely abandon the comrades who had entered the building earlier. However, the helicopter did not leave. They saw reinforcements coming outside and Gao Yi and his men had seized a tank. If they did not leave, it would be too late.
By this time, the British were about to flee.
The helicopter rotors began to turn and personnel began to board the plane, and all of this was noticed by Sherkin's men. However, Sherkin was only concerned with attacking the tanks and armored vehicles that posed a greater threat, and could not take care of the helicopter.
But Gao Yi and the others have nothing to do at the moment.
"Turn around! Go take out those helicopters!"
Gao Yi was very excited when he said this. Whether the goal was achieved or not was not important. Today, the ambush was destined to fail and the enemy was attacked. However, after a whole night of frustration and the death of so many people, the situation has reversed. No matter what, we have to fight back.
"Back up! Back up! Turn the turret around and fire with the machine gun!"
The commander's remote-controlled machine gun on the roof of the tank was blown up, and the 12.7mm machine gun above the barrel was blown up, but the main body of the gun was hidden in the turret, and the coaxial machine gun on the right side of the barrel was not damaged.
Although the 7.62mm caliber is smaller, the bulletproof capability of the British helicopters is not that strong. More importantly, not all British soldiers have been able to board the planes.
The tank simply reversed at full speed without affecting the turret's rotation, aiming at the helicopter parking area at the rear.
The tank backed up and soon it could see the helicopter that had been blocked by the building.
"Fire!"
The machine gun fired a short burst of shots, and the tracer bullets pointed to the target. Feng Biao said urgently, "Higher!"
You still have to aim indirectly, so try firing short bursts.
Short bursts, but continuous short bursts, firing three to five bullets each time, but with very short intervals, just keep firing and adjust the impact point.
This aiming method is quite inefficient, but apart from wasting bullets and time, the effect is not bad.
"Right here, hit!"
The loader, who was promoted to gunner, began firing continuously.
The stability provided by the tank is certainly not comparable to that of the human body. As long as the shot is accurate, the coaxial machine gun will always be accurate.
"Long bursts of fire, lateral movement, sweep them!"
Feng Biao shouted with great joy. After being suppressed for so long, he could now rely on the tank's armor to kill the enemy. Of course it felt great.
The helicopters began to take off in a hurry. Although the tank's machine gun fire was inefficient, it still caused some damage to the enemy. It was not just a threat, but it actually hit a helicopter.
As long as we can shoot down one helicopter, even just one, the meaning will be completely different.
The British were able to cover up the deaths of dozens or even hundreds of people, but the destruction of a helicopter is a completely different matter, because the dead were wearing clothes and could be considered as impersonators. However, a helicopter belonging to the UK was shot down in the suburbs of Baghdad, and there are wreckage, which is solid evidence.
No matter who cooperated with Free Wind, the British who made this decision will have a headache after shooting down a helicopter.
"Destroyed a tank! The enemy started to flee. Do we need to chase and destroy it?"
Sherkin's voice rang out again, and Gao Yi said without hesitation: "Attack, at least destroy the tank!"
Whoever helps Free Wind will have to pay the price.
Gao Yi can't deal with Free Wind now, but can he deal with the lackeys that Free Wind hired?
"Understood. Take out the tank."
Xie Erjin didn't say anything, and Feng Biao waited for Xie Erjin to finish speaking, and hurriedly said: "Fire! Machine guns can't shoot down helicopters! A little to the left, a little more... Fire!"
The coaxial machine gun of the tank gun was originally designed to serve as a guide for the tank gun. As long as it is within the direct firing distance, the artillery shell can hit anywhere the machine gun can hit. This tactic was extremely common during World War II, but it is no longer used now.
But it can be used now.
The machine gun moved back and forth, firing, and when the bullets were able to hit the helicopter body, Feng Biao gave a decisive order.
The loader fired decisively.
The helicopter was hit as soon as it was fired, and the armor-piercing shell instantly pierced through it. Because the helicopter had almost no armor, the armor-piercing shells aimed at tanks could not exert their maximum power. However, the helicopter that was hit could not take off again no matter what.
"Hit!"
Feng Biao was very happy.
Although other helicopters took off one after another and flew away quickly, making it impossible for them to shoot them down, it was still impressive enough for a tank without sighting equipment to hit a helicopter.
Feng Biao shouted: "We are the ace crew!"
The standard for an ace pilot is to shoot down or damage five planes, and the standard for an ace crew is to destroy five tanks and armored vehicles.
Now three armored vehicles and one helicopter seem not enough to meet the standards of an ace crew.
But Feng Biao quickly said: "One helicopter is equal to two armored vehicles. We are the ace crew."
Donkey suddenly said: "No! One tank, three armored vehicles, and a helicopter. We may not be the ace crew, but the Wind Knight is definitely the ace... the ace..."
It’s hard to say what the trump card is.
Given the donkey's rich knowledge, it's hard to find a suitable term to describe it.
After thinking for a moment, Donkey said seriously: "We are the ace crew, and Wind Walker is a god. He smashed a tank with a hammer and captured a tank, so he is... the hammer god!"
At this time, the radio had been connected to Sherkin and others.
So when Feng Biao and Donkey were thinking about what title to give Gao Yian, Xie Erjin suddenly said, "Are you stupid or did I hear wrong? Use a hammer to smash a tank?"
