Dominate South Asia

Chapter 4 Tank overturns

A flame spurted out from the back of the rocket launcher, and then, with a gorgeous tail flame, the rocket flew forward in a chic trajectory.

This is a scene in the TV, a wonderful shot of a Hollywood blockbuster.

Unfortunately, this shot is not true in reality.

The rocket uses a fast-burning propellant. When the rocket comes out of the rocket launcher, it has already burned out, without tail smoke or flames.

The reason why this RPG-7 rocket is so powerful is that when it flies about ten meters, the second-stage booster will burn, and it will burn in an instant, but it will accelerate the rocket to 300 meters per second. The huge energy brought by the speed gives this rocket a better armor penetration depth.

"Rocket! There is a rocket on the right! Brake immediately!" At this time, the commander's periscope just saw Muhammad carrying a rocket launcher and aiming, about to launch, and immediately shouted loudly.

It is impossible to see the rocket with the naked eye, but you can see the person who launched it, and you can destroy it.

If the loader had not died while operating the anti-aircraft machine gun, the anti-aircraft machine gun could have been used to shoot the man carrying the rocket launcher into several pieces.

Because the ambush on the top of the mountain was discovered, the tank started very quickly, almost reaching the maximum off-road speed. Therefore, it was almost impossible to avoid the rocket by accelerating. If acceleration didn't work, then another method had to be used, slowing down!

After the commander shouted to brake, the two people in the turret grabbed the armrests on their seats at the same time.

The driver's instinctive reaction was to immediately pull the left and right operating levers back violently.

For the tank driver, the main operation is these two operating levers. When they are pulled halfway, they turn, and when they are pulled to the bottom at the same time, they brake on both sides at the same time.

As the driver operates, the brake cylinder under the operating lever presses the hydraulic oil into the brake belts on both sides of the driving wheel. The brake belts tightly hug the driving wheel with a burnt smell.

As the driving wheel stops, the two tracks on both sides also stop moving, but under the huge impact force, they actually slide forward flatly.

The nearly 40-ton iron lump quickly stopped. Although the people in the tank were tied tightly to the seats with safety belts, they still felt like they were riding a roller coaster. Their bodies rushed forward uncontrollably and were pulled by the safety belts, which made them hurt.

On the top of the turret, the body of the dead loader rolled down from the top of the turret with the brakes.

Finally, did he avoid that damn rocket? The commander's eyes did not reach the periscope, but he felt the body of the vehicle shake. With a terrible sound coming into his ears, he felt extremely hot all over. The temperature in the entire turret instantly rose by several hundred degrees.

Muhammad quickly ran a distance, found a stone again, and hid. The position where he had just launched the missile had been discovered. It was very dangerous to stay there.

After hiding, he quickly reloaded another rocket he was carrying on the front end of the rocket launcher.

At this time, he quietly stuck his head out and saw the burning tank. He had successfully hit it again.

Rockets are uncontrolled, and tanks are moving, so when Muhammad fired rockets, he maintained a certain lead time. The exact lead time was based on the opponent's speed and the time when his rockets arrived. To put it simply, it was determined by experience.

Muhammad's lead time was just right, but he was aiming at the back of the turret, but ended up hitting the front of the turret.

Muhammad's war had just begun.

Because the tank company's chariots were all passing at high speed, when the first tank braked suddenly, the second tank was unable to dodge, and ended up crashing into it.

The four tanks behind stopped in time, and a tank in front was killed. There were guerrillas rushing over on both sides. It was obvious that this was an ambush carefully planned by the opponent.

These Afghan guerrillas were simply crazy for daring to rush down like this and attack their own tank unit with flesh and blood. Belikov wanted to kill them immediately, but the mountains on both sides were too steep. After turning the turret, he found that neither the artillery nor the parallel machine guns could reach them for the time being.

The brave tank soldiers were helpless in the face of more than a dozen Afghan guerrillas, which made Belikov very angry.

"404 report, 402 was destroyed, the front exit was blocked, I collided with 402, and the cooling water in the water tank leaked. I am afraid I can't hold on for a few minutes." The commander of 404 shouted.

Damn, the front exit was blocked, what should I do? Turn back? Or force through?

The T-62 does not have the ability to turn in place, that is, if the two tracks rotate in the opposite direction, the tank will turn 180 degrees in place, and then it can quickly get away along the way it came. Now, it can only achieve its goal through a combination of forward and backward. Not to mention whether the site allows it, even time does not allow it. In a few minutes, 404 will lose power due to engine overheating.

"404, go around 402 and rush out of the valley. Pay attention to the rocket launcher next to you." Belikov ordered.

"But there are boulders on both sides, and the road in the middle is blocked by tank 402. We can't get through." The commander of tank 404 shouted anxiously.

"We must get through. This is an order." Belikov insisted.

They are tank soldiers, not infantry. If 404 is allowed to abandon their tanks, then they will be caught and killed by the Afghan guerrillas.

The hatch was closed, and the vision was not good. It was very dangerous to go around in front. However, the crew of tank 404 also knew that this was an order they must obey.

They just hit the destroyed tank 402, but they did not suffer any losses. This is very lucky. Now, I hope to keep this luck. The crew of tank 404 prayed in their hearts.

After falling back a little, the driver of tank 404, regardless of the red light of the engine overheating, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the tank rushed to the boulders on the side in the huge black smoke.

If the speed is too fast, there will be a violent collision. If the speed is too slow, it will not be able to rush up, which is difficult to grasp.

When the driver was still one meter away from the boulder, he released the accelerator and pulled the left lever at the same time.

Slow down, turn, and go up!

When the impact was felt, the driver stepped on the accelerator again and engaged the lowest gear.

Although the tank seems to be able to run rampant and invincible, in fact, the tank can not go on any road, and the tank will also overturn.

Now, the driver of 404 is challenging the limit.

After feeling the track of the tank contacting the boulder, the driver drove at full speed. Now, he just needs to go up!

With the roar of the engine, the track grabbed the boulder, did not slip, and went up smoothly.

The driver breathed a sigh of relief. The engine has been overheating, but as long as he can persist, he will be safe after walking this section of the road and leaving the valley.

"Gah, ga ga." At this moment, suddenly, a strange sound came from the engine compartment behind.

Oops, the engine is too hot, it seems that the piston has stuck to the cylinder! Then, the driver saw the engine tachometer in front of him, which dropped sharply, and then stopped at zero.

The engine stopped!

At this time, the center of gravity of the tank had not yet completely landed on the boulder, so the T-62 at this time was like a seesaw, trying to press over, but not over.

"Be careful!" the tank commander shouted, they could already feel the body of the car tilting.

"Boom!" With a violent tremor, the T-62 had an intimate contact with the ground.

The body of the car turned 90 degrees, the left side touched the ground, and the whole body of the car turned sideways.

The people inside were hit twice in a row, especially the tank commander, whose head hit the sight heavily and he fainted immediately.

"404 overturned." Tank No. 405, which was following behind 404, wanted to follow up, but saw the miserable situation of 404 and did not continue to follow, and reported to the company commander through the radio.

After losing two tanks in succession, Belikov knew that things were not going well.

This damn valley!

The guerrillas on both sides also rushed closer at this time.

The guerrillas were close, and at the same time, the height was low, so they could use coaxial machine guns to deal with them.

"Retreat, use coaxial machine guns to eliminate the guerrillas on both sides." Belikov shouted on the radio: "Call the infantry unit, call Jalalabad, we need support."

His tank company lost two tanks, and the lone No. 413 tank was probably doomed at this time.

Although Belikov was very unwilling that his company was ambushed by several guerrillas, he had no other choice now. He had to ask for help from above. It would be best to send a helicopter to bring elite scouts to kill all these guerrillas!

Following Belikov's order, the tank's turret rotated, and at the same time, it spewed flames to both sides.

Several guerrillas who rushed to the front were immediately hit by machine guns and fell down.

The people behind immediately fell to the ground and looked for shelter nearby.

They held some homemade bottles in their hands.

These tanks were their targets.

"Dang! Dangdang!" Belikov heard the sound of metal collision from outside in the turret. He knew that the other party was shooting his tank with a rifle.

The outside of the tank was thick steel. Ordinary bullets still wanted to shoot his tank? Are these guerrillas crazy?

The four tanks did not turn, and the drivers put the reverse gear and retreated all the way.

While retreating, they continued to attack these guerrillas with coaxial machine guns.

Suddenly, Belikov found that he could not see anything in his periscope.

Damn it!

Belikov will not forget that there is a sharpshooter in this guerrilla team, and that sharpshooter actually cunningly knocked off his periscope.

The probability is very low.

The commander had no periscope, but the gunner still had one. The turret was still rotating. Belikov didn't believe that the other side would be so lucky.

Because Belikov's periscope was broken, he didn't see that the guerrillas outside, although lying down, were still crawling forward, holding some glass bottles in their hands.
