Chapter 149 Short Assault
Under the cold moonlight, a convoy mainly composed of pickups and trucks is rumbling on a road in western Homs province.

Originally, Anwar was worried that his team would be blocked by the fleeing crowd, but as they moved eastward, there were fewer and fewer vehicles and people on the road. It seemed that those who had the ability to escape had already left In this area, only he led a team of less than 100 people (and some of them stayed in place to organize those routs) and walked in the opposite direction from everyone else.

"Major, this is the No. 101 car group. I have already seen the sign of Kata Yain on the roadside, and it is 3 kilometers away." Hattar's voice came from the BRDM2 radio station.

Although Anwar said some impassioned words to his subordinates before, he himself was not dazzled. The principle of this counterattack plan is to fight quickly and retreat quickly, causing as much loss as possible to the enemy while preserving himself. Delay their offensive operations for the next day.

Therefore, the mechanized infantry unit composed of a tank and three BMPs is the main force of the battle, and their position is also higher than the pickup truck team brought by Anwar.

In fact, this larger team is just in case. If the Black Flag forces are really desperate to charge in the dark night, it may be difficult to stop with only one tank and three BMP1s.

"Leave the road and detour from the south. According to the defenders in the city before, the city buildings and fortifications on the south side have been severely damaged. This is also an opportunity for us."

After receiving Anwar's instruction, Hatar didn't think much, and directed the tank to leave the road, followed by a violent bump, almost causing the unprepared commander to hit his head on the observation window.

"Pay attention to the terrain ahead, Ubian, you usually drive very carefully, don't be nervous." Hatar said with two hands barely supporting his body.

"Don't talk, it will distract me." The driver Ubian's military rank is exactly the same as that of Hatar, so he is not too upset about the captain who is a few years younger than himself: "The driver's night vision Yi can only see less than 30 meters away, and it is not bad if I can drive the car."

In fact, on this tank, except for the loader who is a corporal, the ranks of the remaining three are lieutenants, which occasionally causes some management problems, but Anwar really can't find any other tank that can play well. The tank man is gone.

"Commander, I saw a vague shadow, like a truck." Ali, the gunner next to him, was much calmer than the driver. At this time, he was pressing his forehead tightly against the TPN-1-1-22 night vision sight on the eyepiece of the mirror.

The third-generation tanks with hunting and destroying capabilities generally ensure that the commander has at least as much observation ability as the gunner, but this T55 improved version does not have those fashionable configurations. At night when there is insufficient light, the commander’s TKH- 1 The infrared periscope can only guarantee a viewing range of about 300 meters-this is a distance that is enough to be threatened by RPG, so Hattar never thought of using it from the beginning.

The driver who heard this sentence quickly reduced the forward speed of the tank. One is to ensure that the gunner can observe the target stably, and the other is to reduce the low-frequency noise emitted by the diesel engine. This sound can sometimes reach one kilometer in a quiet night. outside the place.

Although he often complained that Anwar threw him, who was also a sergeant, into the driver's position, but he would not be awkward on the battlefield.

"Are they moving?"

Strong curiosity made the captain Hattar couldn't help turning on the OU-3 infrared searchlight, but as expected, he couldn't see anything.

It took Ali a while to answer: "No, I can see 3...4 pickup trucks next to them. They seem to be firing, and they are facing away from us."

"parking."

Hattar barely maintained stability in the wobbly tank, and at the same time began to think about how to achieve the greatest results in the first round of firepower strikes.

"Chariot squad, drive to my side, be careful not to hit me." Hatar signaled Ali to start shooting preparations, while commanding the three infantry fighting vehicles through the radio.

The platoon leader of the mechanized infantry platoon is a lieutenant like the three of Hatar, but in the process of coordinated infantry and tank combat, the tank commander can usually command the infantry commander at the same level, so there will be no problems in the communication of military orders.

As an infantry fighting vehicle, BMP1's night combat capability is even worse, only the driver has a TBHO-2 infrared night pilot, and there is something similar to the L-2 infrared headlight on the left side of its main gun, but it is actually a white light searchlight.

The TPN1 night sight cannot be linked to the laser rangefinder of the day gun scope, so Ali had to switch to the TShSM-32 day gun scope, and then spent a few minutes, relying on the flames of the enemy's fire to barely find one Rocks that seem to be used for ranging.

"The distance... is 870 meters, very close." Ali reported a number that was already dangerous for a tank: "The wind speed is 6 meters per second, and the direction is 110."

"Wait, I still need the angle at which the main gun turns." Hattar made a somewhat strange request to Ali.

"The angle between the main gun and the car body... 340, what do you want to know?"

Ali talked about these parameters just to strengthen his memory, because he will use them when he switches to the night sight, especially the crosswind data can only be corrected by experience, but all these data were reported by Hater through the radio The infantry fighting vehicle gunner parked next to the tank.

"Let those infantry fighting vehicles shoot blindly with us. As for whether they can hit or not, it depends on God's will." After finishing speaking, Hattar ordered the loader to load a grenade: "I counted 321, and then fired together. "

"Okay, listen to you." Ali next to him said in a somewhat impatient tone. He had also driven a BMP1 before, and he didn't think that 73mm smoothbore gun could hit anything, but this is a battlefield after all. means order.

"In addition, the drivers of all vehicles pay attention, after the meeting finishes firing, start the car and move forward immediately, don't stay in place."

"3, 2, 1... fire!"

Following Hatar's order, three OG-3V grenades and one OF15 grenade were fired almost at the same time, and after drawing a shallow arc in the dark night, they hit the unprepared pickup trucks.

Even without the help of night vision goggles, Hattar could still see a few flaming wreckages in the distance from the 2.75x magnification of the commander's mirror, and then the driver Ubian quickly launched the tank and started to move forward according to his request.

"Don't get close to the city anymore, we can't deal with closer combat." Hatar hurriedly told the driver to turn.

His previous worries were not unreasonable. The troops of the Black Flag faction had already experienced many battles, so they responded quickly. A large open space.

In the next 10 minutes, Hattar and his armored unit walked and fought all the way, and repeated their tricks in several other positions, knocking out a total of about sixty or seventy enemy troops gathered together with grenades. and some vehicles.

The active infrared equipment on the T55 is actually out of date, especially the infrared searchlight is like a target for tanks with passive thermal imaging cameras, but facing the black flag that just occupied Katayain The infantry unit almost played a one-sided massacre effect.

"Just do it, we knock out all the grenades."

Hattar watched the enemy's body wreckage fly into the air through the commander's mirror, which even made him feel a little exciting.

"Train 101, what's the situation now?" Anwar's worried voice sounded on the radio. He originally planned to fire a few shots at the enemy on the southwest side of the city, but judging from the direction from which the shots sounded, his The only tank seems to have circled further south.

"Don't worry, Major, we are looking for the enemy around the city, and we haven't encountered any resistance yet. They can't see us at night." Hatar said in an extremely excited tone.
