Chapter 138 A Ray of Sunshine, All Left Behind (Please Subscribe!)
The primer ignites the propellant in the cartridge case, and the explosive combustion generates propellant gases that propel the projectile from rest to an initial velocity of over 1700 meters per second as it leaves the gun barrel.
Then, due to air resistance, the saddle-shaped sabot split into two parts and was ejected, leaving only a long, silver-white, spiraled "steel needle" that shot into the distance.
"Boom!"
In less than 0.5 seconds, it traversed a mere 800 meters, striking the upper frontal armor of vehicle C like the mango shell had just been fired. Immediately following a loud bang, the vehicle's remote weapon station went silent.
It seemed that the engine had been hit, as thick smoke and flames quickly shot out of the vehicle, illuminating the astonished faces of the friendly forces nearby.
How... how is this possible?
GIAt clearly stacked the frontal armor of the White Force to an equivalent homogeneous steel thickness of over 1000mm, so how could it be penetrated by a single shot? This is not scientific!
No, this is scientific.
At 2 kilometers, it can achieve a homogeneous steel penetration of about 700mm. If we move it closer to 800 meters, it's bound to be a 1-meter sunburst. It's a good thing this vehicle doesn't have a turret, otherwise the effect of ammunition detonation would be quite impressive.
"Mongoose, well done!"
Faced with the powerful counterattack of the decapitation squad, 06 fired in short bursts without rhythm. The 200-round ammunition belt outside the ammunition box might take out all 10 people, but it would be enough to hold out until Anton led Group 2 to come and provide support.
As the crew controlled the Sparrowhawk B to descend and dive, the weapons officer was only focused on finding the modified weasel he needed to attack, but the intelligence officer next to him saw something that looked right on the monitor.
The moment the T-64B1M opened fire, the missile launcher, driven by an electric turntable, fired an AIm-9L Super Sidewinder missile toward the northwest of Bogo village.
"Thump~ thump~ thump~~"
"Da~da~da~~"
Replacing all non-standard bullets with tungsten cores is the correct way for the Chinese to handle tungsten metal, and it is also the style that Jihuo Defense has quickly developed during its growth and expansion.
Pierre was also utterly shocked.
Seeing the fireball in the sky, the ten members of the decapitation squad stopped in their tracks simultaneously.
"Bang!"
If I want to survive, I have to jump ship as soon as possible. The million euros I saved up over those years of hard work would be enough for me to buy a big farm in the countryside of Burgundy and retire there.
"Bang!"
The commander of the decapitation squad raised my SIG SG516, held his breath, and blindly fired a grenade launcher from my M320 at the remote weapon station.
Before the convoy could react, vehicle B, which was in charge of the convoy, immediately contacted the ground, and the driver who was paired with the convoy commander was also a shrewd individual.
Hans was used to having two plans; the remote weapon station was only used to detect and delay the enemy.
In previous battles, the more versatile but less advanced Mango rounds could eliminate less than 99% of armored targets, while the White Top Hat rounds, which only treated the symptoms, gave us the opportunity to test new armor-piercing rounds.
"Hey, Xiao Da, call the boss. There aren't any manned aircraft left. Should we shoot them down?"
We don't have air defenses?
A missile streaked down into the sky, interrupting the commander of the decapitation squad's thoughts.
Whether the effect is real or not, was the money the boss spent on upgrading the cannons wasted?
The machine gun continued to roar, reaping the lives of three main gunners like harvesting wheat, before the rest of us had time to lie down and concentrate fire in the direction of the remote weapon station.
That was Hans's instruction. After all, the Germans sent manned aircraft next time to remotely observe and assess the war between us and the White Hats, so we would probably miss it again.
The dense, two-story tree-lined area only obscures the view to the naked eye, but the cold imaging from the drone shows that there is not a single truck on it.
The commander arrived in a state of melancholy and planned to lead the team to retreat. I turned off the communications and asked Pierre for his opinion.
Before Zeng Yan could respond, Kuhn's tactical tablet, which controlled the Guardian's Focus Fire, stopped alarming again.
Now was the time to grapple with that question. Pierre banished those plausible guesses from his mind and immediately issued new operational orders:
Those guys stormed into my company with guns, intending to leave the bodies behind. What a terrible thing to do.
Gunshots rang out in front of them, bullets flew overhead, and the four survivors were dragged back into the battle.
There is a way. The propellant in Taigen is weak enough, but the low-pressure propellant gas also causes very little erosion to the barrel wall. We must find a way to improve the performance of the barrel, and chrome plating is the most complicated and ineffective method.
Looking at the screen outside, 06 smoothly adjusted the muzzle and continued firing at the previous target.
"Whoosh~~"
The sparrowhawk, hovering thousands of meters in the air, slowed down and swooped down toward Bogo Village. Meanwhile, the three members of the decapitation squad below the barren slope in front of the village put down their guns and activated the short-range spiked SRs on their backs.
A NATO 40x46mm high-explosive anti-tank grenade exploded in mid-air, but it did not hit any target.
"Keep an eye on their movements. As long as they are doing something safe, they can come with us."
The Renault military truck's built-in winch has two retraction mechanisms, which pull up the red camouflage cloth covering the launch pad and spherical radar dome.
I doubt it's true that a heavy infantry fighting vehicle, which was supposed to be a high-expense-paid vehicle, was actually breached from the front by an old T-64.
There is a way. The range of high-speed grenades that cannot be mounted is only about 400 meters. We are currently at the limit of that range, so we need to fire fewer rounds.
We were exposed to the muzzle of a 12.7mm heavy machine gun so easily that our cerebellum didn't even have time to react. The muscle memory left by years of training made everyone raise their guns and fire. Usually, it was the first three anti-tank gunners who hadn't yet prepared to fire.
This is their secret weapon; those idiots in white top hats walked right into it.
"Whoosh~~"
"Thump~ thump~ thump~~"
That was when, just as Kuhn was aiming at the seventh target, I simultaneously switched the combat mode of the "Focus Fire Guardian" anti-aircraft vehicle using my tactical tablet.
Even worse, friendly forces were accidentally injured.
Another shell was loaded, and Hans felt a surge of excitement; he hadn't felt this excited in a long time.
Pierre, who had been hit by a series of attacks, was brought back to his senses by the call of the decapitation squad commander, but just as I was about to say something, a series of gunshots rang out again.
The 06 outside the vehicle yard was a bit confused; the phased array radar of the remote weapon station had been destroyed by stray bullets.
"Thump~~"
Freed from the angle limitations of infantry fighting vehicles and tanks, it can only hit targets a few dozen meters behind them. The steep slope seven or seven hundred meters away is completely exposed and offers no cover!
"Call the moles! There's a really cunning one hiding in front of the wreckage of this car. Maybe there aren't any of our men in the distance yet. How about you rush over and take us out?"
Or have we changed our main force?
"Boom!"
"Bang!"
The active defense system awaiting support has arrived; this is truly the best of the best, the tank of the tank.
Although you can hear the sound, the sight of the missile engine igniting and accelerating toward us makes you feel as if you are actually there.
The missile's first-stage engine ignited, and it shot aimlessly toward the ground a dozen meters behind it. Because there was still a detonation fuse, it was like dropping a small, dud rocket into the ground.
"Plug the third new armor-piercing shell into the breech," Kuhn suggested to Xia Yu.
The concentrated fire defense was unprepared for that mission, and they didn't even carry out a decapitation strike. We were not the victims.
We must eradicate evil completely; once it comes, none of them will escape.
The bad news is that missiles might follow the wiretap signal to bomb us, but the good news is that the disappearance of the image means that our Sparrowhawk B has not yet been destroyed by the concentrated fire defense's anti-aircraft missiles.
Ask the sergeant about things underground, ask Mayer about things in the world, yes, ask the boss.
Although pre-formed tungsten balls can only penetrate the thinnest top armor of some heavily armored targets, against heavily armored targets like tanks, the sparse firepower of the tungsten balls can directly blind the opponent's "eyes".
Three assault soldiers led the way from behind, two machine gunners filled in the middle, and five men serving as the main and secondary anti-tank gunners followed closely in front.
I had even pulled the trigger when the 12.7mm tungsten-core discarding sabot armor-piercing bullet pierced my IIIA body armor with four holes in the front and back.
Could it be that two mangoes knocked back an eye?
"Calling the boss, calling the boss! Your vehicle C has been destroyed by enemy tanks from the front! Requesting backup! Requesting backup!"
It was unusual that Jihuo Defense had so few heavy equipment and military trucks, so it didn't attract the crew's attention until the winch tore off the red camouflage cloth under the truck bed.
But is lying on the ground useless?
The proximity fuse of the Super Sidewinder was successfully triggered, and the continuous rod warhead tore apart the Sparrowhawk B, which was diving and retreating into its range (3km), along with its fuselage and the two Spike LR missiles it was carrying.
"Then let's fight," the commander said, finally letting out a sigh of relief as the machine guns on the other side ceased firing.
"What? How is that possible?"
With the manned aircraft shot down, the feint attack team looks to be in a good position; that wrecked ship in the white top hat is probably going to sink.
The Spike SR launcher had just been raised 45 degrees when the seventh shooter was hit, but my finger instinctively gripped the trigger.
The commander fired the seventh shot, and the sound of the heavy machine gun stopped abruptly.
"Boom!"
Before receiving news that the white-hatted manned aircraft had been shot down, 06, who was stationed at the vehicle yard, also used the winch to tear off the red camouflage cloth covering the remote weapon station, and then discovered about 10 humanoid targets at a distance of 400 to 500 meters behind.
With that kind of setup, even if the six-man special operations team of the concentrated fire defense could react in time, they would only be defeated by our crossfire network. After all, according to the information transmitted by manned aircraft, the enemy's tank and infantry fighting vehicle firepower was concentrated on the feint attack force...
What is that?
The problem was that the system maintenance center provided the basic materials for vehicle plastic printing, so Zeng Yan printed a new general-purpose medicine chamber to replace it, and also plated a layer of chromium on the inner bore of the barrel.
I had the surviving team members count off, and after confirming, there were still 4 survivors including myself.
Similarly, the long spikes on our hands were also noticed by 06 immediately.
Kuhn roared excitedly into the radio.
The 200 machine gun rounds outside the ammunition box might be enough to take care of any remaining enemies, but I don't have two large teams to handle the scavenger work.
If you survive the first wave of attacks before being attacked, you can use your skills to retreat and counterattack, destroying the low-tech weapon's sighting system and making it "blind".
Why does its shape look so much like a missile launcher?
So it seems that a novice special forces soldier is still pretty useless.
"Whoosh~ Click~~"
"They looked at the truck and saw that its tarpaulin had suddenly moved."
Things didn't seem too bad; Jihuo Defense didn't have any air defense capabilities, and the size and power of the missile clearly indicated that it was a shoulder-fired air defense missile.
If Da Xin manages to shoot down our manned aircraft, that would be a real feud.
Thanks to Zeng Yan's radical modifications, our T-64B1M, with its old vehicle and new ammunition, successfully experienced a seventh spring in the company's defense campaign.
The first burst of long shots swept past the assault soldiers and machine gunners behind them, directly taking down the slowest anti-tank gunner.
"Thump~ thump~ thump~"
The new armor-piercing projectile has the same caliber as the 2A46 smoothbore gun, but the cartridge case is slightly larger, so the original 13.4L chamber volume of this tank gun is a bit larger.
"Da~da~da~dong~dong~dong~"
Looking up from low altitude, it looks like a bonfire party!
Hans thought for a moment and then answered.
"Pfft~~"
"Thump~ thump~~ thump~~"
In armored units, the wreckage of friendly forces destroyed is not the worst cover, and the A vehicle leading the charge was clearly a step ahead; Zeng Yan wasn't aiming at us.
"Boss, boss! Sparrowhawk B has been shot down by concentrated fire. What should we do now?"
Honestly, those shields can even block 12.7mm special rounds, let alone tungsten-core discarding sabot armor-piercing rounds specifically designed to destroy heavily armored targets.
"Whoosh~~"
"Pfft~ Whoosh~~"
The remote weapon station has only two controls for the direction of the gun muzzle and two controls for the elevation.
The T-64B1M's coaxial machine gun and remote weapon station opened fire simultaneously, and bullets from both general-purpose and heavy machine guns crisscrossed the battlefield, blasting through seven or eight unfortunate combat employees along with our bulletproof shields.
"They held on, and Sparrowhawk B immediately dove down and launched missiles, ending the decapitation strike group's operation from the front."
I turned the car around on the spot and immediately moved towards the destroyed C vehicle.
Pressing the headset, the commander immediately contacted Pierre to ask if the original mission still needed to be carried out.
The two main forces, which had been concealed in the feint attack on the front, finally launched their operation.
As long as field operations are accompanied by air defense, even if tank-killing attack helicopters come, concentrated fire from the defenses will bring them down.
That's similar to the programmable airburst bomb of the Weasel S30.
A 7.62x51mm full-power round hit my left shoulder, and my arm, which wasn't protected by a bulletproof vest, was completely ruined. That commander clearly knew the consequences of making rash promises; he was going to be discharged from the military.
However, it is known that apart from the manned vehicle, Pierre and no one else on the scene were the least affected.
It burst out like an explosion, but I only bought half the slow music at retail price.
"Pfft~~"
"Beep~ Beep~ Beep~"
"Thump~ thump~ thump~~"
Vehicle A, located in front of Bogo Village, was also turned into a fireball. Those hastily modified infantry fighting vehicles were not properly fireproofed, and their engines would catch fire when hit. Not even two fires could be lit within 800 meters.
"It's xN!"
The camouflage uniforms of the decapitation squad used a certain amount of infrared-resistant material, but they were actually a comprehensive observation and aiming module based on phased array radar, combined with visible light cameras and infrared imaging cameras.
"Buzz~~"
After being reminded and checking a lot of information, I found that our 125mm ammunition cartridges have a larger propellant charge. Although they are the same caliber as the Russians, the chamber still needs to be modified.
Also, I've been writing this since after work and dinner, over six hours of 4K text, and I'm really exhausted. This kind of topic feels like I don't even know where to begin...
