Although the number of enemies is several times that of his own, Sheila is not afraid at all. His own fire control system is enough to allow the chief to deter the enemy at a distance of 800 meters, and he can almost hit a hundred shots at a distance of 500 meters.And only after the opponent has rushed to 700 meters, the simple t-62 fire control system will allow them to pose a threat to themselves.
Several times of combat experience told Hillard that the typical Iraqi tanks had short arms and couldn’t reach them with their fists. As long as they eliminated the enemy from a long distance, he would be safe and sound.
The only thing missing was that his tank could not move, otherwise, he would have ordered his own tank to rush down and fight the opponent.
Muhammad looked at his own tanks, forming a standard attack formation, and gradually approaching the opponent, while the powerful chiefs, like sleeping sheep, did not move at all, which made him feel more confident, hitting moving targets, some It is difficult, but it is much easier to hit a stationary target, especially for the own tank unit that has just mastered the essentials of long-distance shooting, the chief on the opposite side is simply a suitable target for live ammunition shooting.
"Attention, all units pay attention, don't get too close, fire control system, adjust to a distance of 500 meters, prepare for the first shot, stabilize the armor-piercing shell with the tail fin." Mohammed directed in the radio.
Ali, the company commander of the second battalion and third company, heard this order, but his stomach was full of bitterness. Who can shoot accurately at such a long distance?When did the Brigadier become so cautious?We just rush up and let the Persians open fire. When we reach a distance of 600 meters, we will blow up the chiefs one by one:.
Even though Company Commander Ali, who was only in the third grade in elementary school, had devoted great enthusiasm to this fire control system, it was a pity that he still hadn't mastered it. His gunners were not necessarily better than him.
As a company commander who climbed up from the lower levels, Ali has experienced many battles. He is brave but lacking in ability, especially when manipulating tanks that require a certain level of knowledge, so he makes repeated mistakes and cheats when reporting drills, but , he remains a courageous Iraqi fighter.
The fire control system of the &-62 has been used for a long time. He turned on the infrared light and aimed the T-62's 2 smoothbore gun at a Chieftain directly in front of him. He could feel that the Chieftain was also aiming at it. For myself, this feeling is very difficult.
"Crunch!" The tank stopped. Shooting in motion was still an insurmountable barrier, so they had to stop if they wanted to hit each other accurately, but this was only temporary.
"Boom, boom, boom!" At this moment, the chief of the opponent started firing shells.
&-62 Not to be outdone, almost at the same time, also fired shells, the first time the two sides fired at each other, officially started.

Chapter 36 Interjection——
&-62 actually paused at a distance of 500 meters. I am afraid that every tank soldier knows what this pause means. A short pause means that the opponent is about to fire.
&-62, when will it be possible to launch at this distance?Are they wasting shells?The Iranian armored soldier in the Chieftain's tank thought contemptuously.
The commanders of the &-62 tanks gave the order to fire together.
While the &-62 fired the shell, the chief also started to fire.
The shell came out of the gun bore within 0.1 second, shook off the rear shell, stretched out the four tail fins, and armor-piercing warheads, like fast-moving darts, flew towards the opponent.
The &-62 tank began to accelerate desperately.
The most effective way to deal with incoming armor-piercing projectiles is to maneuver quickly. Cannonballs are not missiles. They are all aimed before firing. As long as the tank moves forward for a certain distance during this time, it can successfully avoid the opponent's shooting , survived the bullet rain.
The chief's 120mm artillery is quite powerful, as long as it hits, there is absolutely no possibility of survival.
And their 115mm smoothbore gun, at such a long distance, it is difficult to tear the chief's front armor, and it is their world within 1000 meters.
The commander of the &-62 tank is not an idiot, they are aiming at the chief whose head is directed at him:.
When designing a tank, the thickness of the armor varies from place to place. The thickest part is the front armor, followed by the sides, and the weakest part is the rear armor.
Since the lined-up chieftains had to deal with enemies approaching from three sides, Sheila had to separate his tanks to deal with enemies coming from three directions, so that turning to the enemy on the left would leave the rear of the turret for the enemy on the right .
The Chieftain’s turret is welded, which is different from the Soviet Union’s emphasis on low turrets. European tanks have taller turrets, so that it is more comfortable for personnel to stay inside, and it is easier to store parts at the rear of the turret. ammunition.
However, this design also undoubtedly increases the projectile area. "novel"
The accuracy of the &-62's aiming is not very high, but they have a numerical advantage, using a battalion of tanks to deal with the opponent's tanks of a company, three to one.While the chiefs have the advantage of the fire control system, their shortcomings are also obvious, that is, they can't move, they can only stay there and get beaten.
They had no time to pray to Allah, and immediately after the shell was fired, everyone was busy except the driver.They reloaded the second shell and prepared to fire again.
The drivers of the &-62 were the most concentrated. They used both hands and feet to shift gears, accelerate, and get out of the dangerous area just now.
The Iranians were so cunning that they fired at the moment they paused, and the opportunity was quite accurate.
The three major indicators of a tank are firepower, mobility and protection:. Although the t-62's engine has low horsepower, its body is lighter and its maneuverability is slightly better.
It's just that here is a swamp, and the wet soil limits the acceleration of the T-62.
The most unlucky thing is that when several tanks fired shells, due to the strong recoil, the rear of the vehicle body fell into the mud, and the tracks idling weakly, but they couldn't get out.
The shells of both sides flew over the other side almost at the same time.
&-62, every time the driver stepped on the accelerator, the tens of tons of tank body trembled upwards, but it couldn't break free from the muddy ground.
Just when the commander was furious, an armor-piercing projectile pierced through the unlucky T-62, and a huge metal heat flow penetrated into the turret. The three people inside were immediately shot to death in this heat flow. Then, the armor-piercing projectile entered the turret. Inside the turret, the ammunition that was about to be loaded into the barrel was detonated.
"Boom!" After a loud noise, the tank's turret flew into the sky, and the driver in front was immediately shocked to the point of bleeding from his orifices and lost his life.
&-62, the opponent's chief was not much better, many of the huge back of the head were hit by armor-piercing bullets.
The chief uses split ammunition. At the rear of the turret, there are about 20 propellants placed. These propellants immediately become powerful bombs.
Amidst the sound of shells exploding, the chiefs of vehicles ended their missions and slept forever on the freshly paved concrete floor in the swamp.
Sheila had to hear a huge explosion coming from behind, he couldn't care less, and then ordered his first battalion to keep shooting!
Thanks to the more advanced fire control system, the chief tank's rate of fire in the first minute is at the level of 1-8 rounds, but this is only a theoretical rate of fire.In practice, there are many restrictions, the most restrictive of which is the physical exertion of the loader.
Each tank has four members, one is driving at the front, and there are three people in the turret. The commander is in charge of commanding, and the gunner is in charge of aiming. Noise, the loader is waiting for the fired shell case to be automatically ejected from the barrel, ejected from the vehicle body, then loaded the warhead, loaded the propellant, closed the door, and the physical exertion was very high.
At this time, a very strange scene appeared. The tanks surrounded in the middle were firing shells non-stop, but they stayed still like idiots, allowing their tanks to be destroyed in the next moment. It seemed as if he was just pulling a few backs before he died.
&-62 is constantly attacking, and their shortcomings are also obvious. Although the shells were fired at a distance of 500 meters just now, the hit rate is very low. An average of six shells can hit a tank. Therefore, They are all driving forward desperately, shortening the distance with each other.
Ali was ashamed. Just now, his tank fired six shells in succession, but failed to hit a single tank. It was a shame for the tank crew. However, Elad of his company had almost no ammunition, and one tank killed four. chief.
Now that he has rushed within 800 meters, it's time for him to show off!
Ali abandoned the inoperable fire control system and used his native method again: visual aiming!
Sometimes, I still rely on my own eyes.
He spun the commander's periscope, counting the numbers on it.
"Secret position 253, distance 682, one armor-piercing projectile." He shouted.
The gunner then aimed with the periscope, adjusted the shooting elements, and completed the preparations before shooting.
"Fire!" The gunner pressed the launch button hard.
"Boom!" The huge shock shook their stomachs into disorder, and an armor-piercing bullet flew out of the barrel.
"Battalion Commander, we can't stay like this, we have to exercise, we are tanks, not bunkers!" Sheila heard such a voice on the radio.
Sheila suddenly realized that she had made a serious mistake. How could there be such a stupid armored commander who allowed his tank to stand still and be beaten, and the tank had to move!
