I want to be a warlord

Chapter 371 Smoke of gunfire on the outskirts of Baghdad (please vote for me)

Although there are only two chapters, there is a chapter of 4000 in front of it. Does it have to be divided into chapters to count the number of codes... There are many typos in the last chapter, because the manuscript was revised. The first time I wrote it, I was not satisfied, and then I revised it. .

……

Khatib Hafiz's reaction speed is still very fast.

He knew what the government forces were like before, and suddenly he had the courage to rush out to attack. Khatib Hafez was naturally extremely confused. He could not make too many reactions until he had figured out where the government forces relied.

Who knows if the United States has decided to send troops!
It was not until two days after the war started that Khatib Hafez determined the reason why the government forces dared to fight. What the hell, they came up with a turtle tactic.

Not to mention, Khatib Hafez looked at the map and deduce it for several hours, but he couldn't think of a way to break this tactic.

It can only be knocked hard, but the casualties will definitely be huge!

If they were really allowed to repair to the gate of Fallujah, Khatib Hafez could be sure that the nobles in the city would have some ideas.

Therefore, the top priority is to withstand the government troops and not allow them to build forward.

With an order, 5000 people set off from Fallujah, and he also secretly went to the front line of Fallujah from Ramadi.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, 5000 terrorists arrived at the front line carrying a large number of heavy weapons. At this moment, the engineering team transformed into government soldiers had once again repaired the fortifications 2 kilometers forward.

This is the entire four lines of defense!
Although they may not be able to fight, they can still work. Anyway, it is a simple defense line. The excavator digs the trench, and the soldiers only need to put the soil into sandbags and stack it on top of the trench.

There are more than 2 people. If it were in China, they could build more than a dozen of these lines of defense for you in one day!

From this perspective, the government troops are quite useless...they can't do anything well, and they don't have enough to eat.

In fact, as soon as the terrorists came out of the Fallujah military camp, the engineering team immediately retreated from the front line to the back, and the government soldiers pushed forward.

Compared with the first day, the state of the government troops is actually much better, their thinking is relatively unified, and they are ready for long-term defense.

The reason is that the tanks are coming and they are on the front line.

How should I put it? Modern arms are different from the past, even during World War II. The requirements for the cultural quality of soldiers are higher. Equipment such as tanks and fighter jets at least require you to know a foreign language, and it is professional English or Russian, otherwise you will not be able to read the manual. Do not understand.

Yes, the equipment is all imported, and they don’t give you Arabic instructions...

Others include command vehicles, radar vehicles, missile vehicles, artillery radars, anti-artillery radars, various jamming equipment, over-the-horizon locking equipment, etc., as well as the linkage of various electronic equipment. Even the Iraqi government forces do not recognize this word. Soldiers who want to control are not forced to do anything!

Who dares to believe the data generated by these illiterate people operating the equipment? !
This is also the reason why the Iraqi government forces are clearly qualified to purchase advanced equipment, but they do not use it during combat, or they use it but cannot take advantage of the equipment's advantages at all.

The fight was just like World War II...the tactics and the quality of the soldiers were not as good as World War II.

Another point is that the amount of training is insufficient.

Whether it’s tanks or artillery, if you can’t train enough, how can you be so accurate?
Therefore, Wang Zhen, who deeply understood the level of the government forces, directly arranged for the government forces to drive tanks to the defense line in the combat plan and use them completely as fixed artillery and fortresses.

There are two or three layers of sandbags surrounding the tank to ensure that even if it is hit by an RPG, the tank will not suffer a fatal blow.

Rocket-type armor-piercing projectiles rely on the metal jet produced by the concentrated energy effect, and the metal jet will scatter after hitting the soft sandbag, and the power will be dispersed immediately.

Even armor-piercing bullets can have a certain effect. Moreover, it is also very difficult for the armor-piercing bullets of terrorist tank guns to accurately hit the tank, and the quality of their soldiers is also poor.

More than 20 tanks are deployed outside the first line of defense. Wang Zhen's design also includes armored vehicles and bulletproof Humvees. The difference is that these two types do not need to be surrounded by sandbags. Instead, a slope is directly dug to drive the vehicle into a large pit. Inside, most of the car body is hidden below the horizon. With the protection and leverage, government soldiers only need to hide inside and control the machine guns.

More than 40 self-propelled artillery pieces were deployed at the rear of the position.

They were all pulled out from the warehouse in Baghdad. After drying in the sun, they were sure to be usable and put into position.

Well, that's all. After the terrorist army approached the position 10 kilometers away, the Iraqi artillery began shelling at the designated coordinates.

Good news: The military maps surveyed and mapped by the US military are very accurate, and the coordinates are directly marked in different areas. Helicopters in the sky only need to observe the enemy's position to know the coordinates.

Bad news: There are very few people in the Iraqi government forces who can use shooting calculators... After all, the operating system of this thing is also in English...

And there are just a few people, and the results calculated are different.

But anyway, the artillery fires!

Even if it is useless, it is good to hear the sound.

In the eyes of the Iraqi military's middle and senior leaders, it was regarded as training.

The fact is that they still overestimated the soldiers below. Why do you want to train? The first thing you require is equipment maintenance and basic operating regulations, right?
If the artillery's elevation and steering gears are not regularly used and maintained, the accuracy will decrease. Moreover, these people have not solved the problem of artillery balance, so how much training do you have?
There is no artillery radar to cooperate with the calculation of the impact point, so I don’t know how to correct it!

The only good news is that because all the data are wrong and the negative results are positive, with so many artillery firing in one direction, there is always good luck.

The shells fell and exploded among the army, which also panicked the terrorists.

No matter how much you brainwash you, if you are not afraid of death, you will still panic if a cannon explodes not far away. This is an instinctive physiological reaction.

After several rounds of shelling, the bombardment stopped. After a delay, the terrorists finally arrived 3 kilometers away from the front line. At this distance, the government's mortars could show off their power.

Mortars are obviously more suitable for this illiterate army... they are much more accurate than artillery.

Faced with the threat of artillery, there was no time to rest and they directly attacked the government positions. Tanks and armored vehicles opened the way, and the soldiers advanced step by step under cover. The combination of infantry and tanks seemed like that.

The government forces were not ambiguous either, and the fixed tanks opened fire directly.

T-72 tank aiming and firing process:
1. The gunner inputs the type of ammunition used and changes the markings on the sight to the corresponding ammunition model.

2. The gunner aims the red ring of the laser rangefinder at the target to measure the range. The large red ring is for the main gun range measurement, and the small red ring on the right is for the coaxial machine gun range measurement.

3. Read the distance through the position pointed by the pointer directly above the sight. 4. If you want to aim at a moving target, the gunner needs to keep aiming the red ring at the target for a few seconds to obtain advance data;

5. After inputting the distance, the fire control system automatically adjusts the barrel pitch angle, and the gunner presses the inverted V-shaped front sight in the middle of the sight on the target.

6. Fire.

M1A1 tank aiming and firing process:
1. The commander manually enters the ammunition model.

2. Aim the square sighting ring at the target and press the laser rangefinder button to measure the distance. The measured distance will be displayed as a green number under the sight.

3. If you want to aim at a moving target, the gunner needs to keep the square aiming ring aimed at the target for a few seconds to obtain advance data.

4. After the range measurement is completed, the fire control system automatically inputs distance data to the ballistic computer and automatically adjusts the barrel pitch angle.

5. Fire.

The main difference between the two tanks is that the T-72 requires manual data input, which is equivalent to zeroing the scope of the rifle before it can be fired.

This crude fire control system requires very high quality of soldiers.

During the Gulf War, how did Damu's soldiers use the T-72?

In order to save time and effort, all the data should be adjusted before the war so that the target can be directly aimed on the battlefield. For example, if it is adjusted to 1000 meters, it will be like using a rifle on the battlefield. If the distance is far, aim at the high point, and if the distance is close, aim at the high point. Aiming at a low point... the hit rate is simply appalling.

In comparison, the fool-proof M1A1 is much better.

In order to cater to the reality that the quality of the Iraqi government soldiers is worse than during the Shadamu period, Wang Zhen gave this kind of advice. Enter the data in advance, limit it to 1000 meters, and just use it as a rifle.

Anyway, the terrorists are even worse.

Iraq is a worse place than anything else!

Everything Wang Zhen added to that combat plan was how to better compress the scope of the mess.

Fixed tanks, fixed scope distance data is one of them.

In Wang Zhen's design, there is no value in firing at a distance of two kilometers. One kilometer is already very far, and it is impossible to hit.

However, in actual operation, Wang Zhen still underestimated the quality of the Iraqi government troops.

Fear made the gunner start bombarding the terrorists within two kilometers. Purely...

It can’t be said to be a waste.

After all, you can't hit even one kilometer.

The battlefield is so big, let's see who loses his faith.

First, the roar of tank guns made the surrounding sandbags tremble.

Then the government troops began a large-scale shelling with mortars.

Hiding in the trenches and firing artillery, the government gunners were quite enthusiastic when safety was guaranteed.

Mortars are the main force in Wang Zhen's design!
This thing has a fast launch speed and is easy to operate. Although it is not very powerful, it has no threat to tanks and is not a big threat to armored vehicles, but it can blow up people!

The Iraqi government has money anyway.

The most important thing is to improve the morale of the government troops!

Lying in the trench and in the sandbag fortress, I watched the explosions in the direction where the terrorists were advancing, and the small mushroom cloud filled the sky with yellow sand.

Just looking at it makes you angry!
As a result, the terrorists' first round of attack failed after 10 minutes.

There was no loss of tanks, and the loss of armored vehicles was also very small, but the losses of armed pickup trucks and armored Humvees were relatively large, and the even greater loss was the personnel losses.

The distance of 2 kilometers is not far. It only takes 3 minutes for the armored vehicle to rush over. To be honest, the world record of 1500 meters is still 3 and a half minutes.

With infantry covering, it would take more than 15 minutes to cover this distance.

The closer they got, the more intensive the mortar strikes were. In a short period of time, more than 100 mortars from the government forces fired more than 3000 rounds of artillery shells on the battlefield!

In the face of the direct-firing mortars, the cover provided by tanks and armored vehicles was reduced by most, and the infantry was severely bombed. This wave of attacks resulted in the loss of more than 400 people!

The losses were so huge even without a direct battle, and the terrorists' will to fight could not withstand it!

There was no other way. Khatib Hafez could only order a retreat. Knowing that it would be impossible to capture the government positions in one go in a short period of time, he withdrew 10 kilometers to build the same positions.

Set up camp!

In fact, he didn't have much trouble in his heart, which was to be expected.

If the preset positions were so easy to storm down, World War II would not have been so miserable.

The best way to attack the position is to use tanks. A large number of tanks and armored vehicles can rush up in the shortest time.

But the problem is that the advantage of terrorists is not heavy equipment such as tanks or armored vehicles, but the infantry, or the terrorists' fighting will and courage to fight.

For a time, the two sides formed a confrontation.
