Battalion Commander Luo's rocket was aimed at a Type 72.
However, after a series of explosions and flames, the T72 was unharmed.
"Lu, is this the anti-tank rocket launcher you were bragging about?”
" It seems like it's completely unable to withstand the monkey's tank. Hahaha…"
Weyers laughed out loud. He wasn't even afraid of exposing his position and being bombarded by the monkeys.
Lu Xuan pursed his lips and ignored Wales. He continued to observe the battlefield with his Faraway Vision.
The tank that had just been attacked was smoking, and the turret began to rotate rapidly in the direction of the attack.
The other tanks that had stopped also started moving towards Commander Luo's position, and the turrets were also aiming.
"Battalion Commander Luo, you clearly hit the target just now. How come you didn't even hurt the tank's skin?”Company Commander Qin was dumbfounded.
Whoosh!
"Lie down!"
Just as Commander Qin's face was filled with resentment, the tank in the distance opened fire.
Commander Luo saw this and immediately pushed Commander Qin down.
Although the artillery shell exploded in the distance, the violent shock wave still sent the dust around them flying in all directions.
The shells used by tanks to blast people were usually conventional shells. It was impossible to use special shells such as armor shells.
Normal artillery shells relied on shrapnel to hurt people. After a person lay down, as long as they did not fall beside them, they would be fine.
However, the dozen or so tanks charged towards them.
The machine guns on the tanks were also firing wildly.
At least two battalions of Monkey Infantry followed behind the tanks.
Although Commander Luo had the terrain advantage and had dug trenches in advance, he was still in the middle of the battle.
However, Monkey had a tank to clear the way. Without heavy firepower support, he would only be crushed.
For a moment, Commander Luo's battalion was bombarded by the monkey's cannon fire. They couldn't even lift their heads.
"Lu, your rocket launchers are no good. We should leave this place quickly.”
Wales did not want to be discovered by the monkey. The anti-tank rocket launcher that he was looking forward to was simply Lu Xuan bragging.
"Why can't it work? I've only fired one shot.”Lu Xuan was still lying there without moving.
"Company Commander Qin, give that bastard another shot.”Battalion Commander Luo shouted unwillingly.
They did not have any heavy firepower support here. If they retreated now, they would suffer heavy casualties.
"Watch me." Company Commander Qin was also unwilling.
He picked up the anti-tank rocket launcher and pressed the launch button on one of the tanks.
Whoosh!
The rocket flew out.
However, it didn't hit the tank. Instead, it flew past the tank.
"Damn it, I missed!" Company Commander Qin's heart turned cold.
If they missed, they would only be counterattacked by the enemy's artillery fire.
Just as they were about to hide in the trenches to avoid the tank fire, a miracle happened.
The rocket made a turn in the air and flew towards the tank's butt.
Boom!
The rocket exploded.
A brilliant flame rose.
Boom!
The Tucker also exploded.
The turret that weighed more than ten tons was lifted up and smashed into a few monkey infantrymen not far away.
Explode!
It is commonly known as opening a can.
This was the result of the rocket hitting the tank, causing the ammunition inside the tank to explode.
Obviously, this was a design problem of the T72 tank. It did not separate the magazine from the cockpit.
Whether the rocket hit the top, side, or tail of the tank, it was easy to detonate the shells in the magazine.
Dozens of cannonballs detonated at the same time, and the turret would be lifted up under the huge explosion pressure, or even blown up. This was the so-called suicide explosion.
When Lu Xuan was designing the Red Arrow rocket launcher, he was still thinking about it.
It was considered that the armor-piercing ability of individual rockets could not break through the front armor of T64 and T72 tanks.
Therefore, the individual rocket launcher was equipped with an active infrared guidance system that was very advanced in this era.
The reason why Commander Luo's rocket didn't hit the tank was because the tank suddenly stopped.
When the tank stopped, there was no heat source.
Without a heat source, the active infrared guidance system could not function.
It could only explode wherever it hit, and there would be no " turning " to find the heat source.
The front armor of the T72 tank was the sturdiest, and ordinary anti-tank cannons were not able to withstand it.
After a short silence.
The soldiers in the rabbit camp immediately cheered.
The soldiers of the rocket launcher company also started to carry the Red Arrows.
Since the Red Arrows could destroy Monkey's tank, they naturally wouldn't hold back.
Xiu, Xiu
Monkey's tank had been blown up, which obviously angered him. They opened fire first.
More than ten tank cannons fired wildly at the rabbit camp, and more than ten tanks rushed over at full speed.
"All soldiers, cover fire!"
"Rocket Gunners, spread out and look for an attack position.”
Since the attack was effective, Commander Luo immediately gave the order to fight.
All the soldiers in the battalion braved Monkey's fierce rain of bullets and launched a counterattack against him.
The rocket gunners searched for positions and fired Red Arrow anti-tank missiles at the monkey tanks.
For a moment.
An intense battle began.
The artillery fire on both sides continued.
Countless bullets tore through the dull sky.
Anti-tank rockets flew towards Monkey's tanks.
One by one, the T72 tanks were destroyed by the Red Arrows.
Some exploded, some had their side plates blown off, and some had their tracks torn apart…
Not every Red Arrow rocket could destroy a tank.
Although the Red Arrows and Rocket Gunners had become the main targets of the attack and suffered heavy casualties.
However, a Red Arrow rocket launcher only cost tens of thousands of dollars, while a T72 tank cost millions of dollars.
Even if 10 Red Arrow Rocket Cannons destroyed a T72, it would be a huge profit. Furthermore, there was no need for 10 Red Arrow Rocket Cannons.
In less than half an hour of intense fighting, four T72s were blown up, three crawled out of their nests, and three were emitting thick black smoke...
"Don't hit the tanks that are crawling.”
"Those things are all treasures!"
Battalion Commander Luo shouted at the top of his lungs.
Their battalion's mission was not only to test the performance of the Red Arrow rocket launcher.
He also wanted to get a complete T72 tank, which was what Lu Xuan had repeatedly instructed him to do.
Rabbit's Type 59 tank was obviously not good enough. He needed more advanced tanks for research and imitation to create a rabbit tank with better performance.
The number of tanks acting as cover was decreasing. Even though the monkeys had the advantage, their firepower was not as strong as the rabbits, and they did not have the advantage of terrain.
The monkey's commander quickly realized that it was not beneficial for him to continue fighting like this. He immediately gave the order to retreat.
"Battalion Commander, the monkey is trying to escape. Should we call for artillery fire?”The deputy battalion commander pleaded.
"Cover my ass. Our mission this time is not to wipe out the enemy, but to test the performance of the Red Arrow rocket launcher and seize Monkey's T72 tank.”Battalion Commander Luo shouted excitedly.
Although they were unwilling to let these monkeys go, their gains were not small either.
After testing, the performance of the Red Arrow Rocket Launcher had been verified. It was no longer afraid of Monkey's tanks.
Moreover, they had also obtained Mao Xiong's most advanced T72 tank to support Monkey. It was also a great achievement.
