The two infantry fighting vehicles have already left their search range at high speed.

After receiving the report, Idley knew that the situation was not good.

In this kind of night, if there are infantry ambushed by the enemy, it is very dangerous. It is difficult for them to find the enemy very close to them, even in the daytime. reason.

If they are still marching at such a high speed, they are likely to be hit by the opponent again.

Who were those who attacked them?If they were sent from the air force base, they were all air force personnel, and there were very few such skilled personnel on the ground. Could it be that Manav had a new helping hand?

"Attention, there are missiles coming from the side." At this moment, the commander of another tank urgently spotted a missile and fired it from his side.

However, he did not see where the missile came from.

After successfully killing a few tanks with the bazooka first, Hades used the anti-tank missile again, but this time to scare them.

Anti-tank missiles have an astonishingly low hit rate at night, but posturing is okay.

"Quick, go at full speed." The commander ordered immediately, and the commander also saw it.

The driver stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the 30-ton tank began to accelerate and turn at the same time.

Finally, the missile flew out a few meters away from them.

Hit by anti-tank missiles, their fate will be very tragic.

"Attention, advance in battle order, open the attack surface, and the tank companies on both wings protect the safety of the flanks." Idli had to change his tactics.

Just now, in order to advance quickly, he used the marching state of the most vulnerable snake. Now, he can no longer be careless and has to enter the attacking state in advance. However, this marching method will slow down the speed.

Seeing the redistributed shape of those light spots, Hades was very satisfied: "We need to continue to harass them!"

Ten infantry fighting vehicles, surrounded by dozens of tanks, looked like wolves attacking a flock of sheep. Only Hades dared to do such a bold move!

Chapter 798 The Air Force Base Relief

Immediately behind the T-72 tank is the BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle, followed by the Type 69 tank, and then the Type 63 armored vehicle, various support vehicles... The No. 60 Armored Division is gathering for Damascus.

After breaking through the first police cordon set up by Syria, it is even easier to go to the back, because the back post has received the information from the front, knowing that the Iraqi army has arrived, and since the army guarding here cannot stop the opponent's attack Moving forward, then, stepping aside, might be a better option.

Report upwards?The commander thought about it for a while, but he didn't report it because he didn't know who to report to. Now there are two forces, Vice President Rifat in Damascus and Major General Manaf in the air base, accusing each other of treason , Who is the real rebel, they don't know.

Since it is the armed forces of the God of War in the Middle East, and since the domestic situation is already in chaos, it may be a better choice for them to stand aside and wait for the final outcome.

In this way, the No.60 Armored Division rushed on the No. 72 road from the Golan Heights to Damascus. It took less than two hours for them to arrive in Damascus. The T-[-] tanks that arrived earlier had already begun to block the At the intersection, with the arrival of the later forces, the entire Damascus was tightly surrounded.

Then, they were mobilized from above. A tank battalion was transferred to the air force base to increase the strength there and fight against the Syrian rebels.With their heavy weapons, there is absolutely no problem in destroying the Syrian T-55 tanks.

The most precious time was won by Hades.

The sky was gradually getting brighter. At this time, Idli's armored forces were only three kilometers away from the air force base. Almost all the tanks in the front could see the opponent's air force with their headlights turned off. The long runway at the base is gone. Unfortunately, they lost their last chance.

After harassing all night, Hades finally got a chance. He issued an order to his own tanks through the radio: "Use SEG missiles and beat me to the rebel tanks!"

It's dawn, and the SEG anti-tank missiles that can be visually aimed and launched can finally be used!

Several Desert Leopards began to rush forward bravely, and stopped at a distance of 2000 meters from the opponent's tank. The fire on the turret flashed, and a SEG anti-tank missile flew out of the slide rail.

After flying out, the three-core thin wire, which is hardly visible to the naked eye, is continuously released from the tail of the missile. This wire is connected to the equipment of the shooter on the turret. At this time, the shooter is highly concentrated , constantly observing and judging the difference between the missile relative to the aiming line through the sight, and then skillfully manipulating the handle on the right control box to adjust the up, down, left, and right directions, passing the wire to the missile, and redirecting the missile to the Sight on the line.

This is the first generation of anti-tank missiles. Compared with uncontrolled rockets, the accuracy is much higher. However, this way of relying on the shooter to operate the handle to change the direction of flight is very funny, (use later generations In other words, this can be called cheating), it is almost the same as the remote control model aircraft, and this is not a wireless remote control, but a wired remote control!In the third Middle East war, the Arab countries launched a large number of SEG missiles, using three missiles to aim at one target almost regardless of the cost. As a result, after the war, some tanks, It was found that dozens of three-core control wires had fallen.

In later generations, although the second-generation anti-tank missiles also use wired guidance, they no longer need the operator to manually adjust the flight. Instead, they use infrared angle tracking technology. The shooter only needs to put the optical sight on the target. First, the infrared light source at the tail of the missile sends out a signal, and reaches the shooter's infrared goniometer. The computer judges the deviation of the missile and sends out a control signal at the same time. All the shooter has to do is aim the sight at the target.

In the third generation, except for the use of optical fiber, the wires have been removed, and the attack is controlled by laser or millimeter-wave radar, and some even use infrared imaging and other methods to achieve the ability to leave after launch.

Now, the first generation of SEG missiles, under the control of the most experienced shooters, flew towards the target.

At the same time, the exhausted armored forces discovered the incoming missiles and began to operate their own tanks, making highly maneuverable actions in an attempt to get rid of the incoming missiles. Moreover, they began to shoot at the tanks. There are grenades in it.

If it is an armor-piercing projectile, the range is only 1000 meters, but with the grenade, the range will be much longer. Up to now, they have figured out that it is the enemies in those wheeled chariots who tossed them all night.

Those tanks are not from Syria, not from the Air Force, but from neighboring Iraq.

Although the power of the grenade is not enough, they can still be killed by directly hitting the opponent's car body. Even if the shot is not accurate, you have to vent your anger!Idley was nearly insane.

Seeing those tanks change direction and drive towards them, at the same time, shells were fired. Except for a few tanks that were about to hit the opponent, the rest immediately started at full power and started to rage.

All the grenades were emptied, and the missiles fired by the infantry fighting vehicles hit two tanks. Counting what happened last night, their team of ten tanks destroyed a total of [-] tanks. A tank effectively delays the opponent's actions and creates opportunities for one's own actions.

Hades tuned the radio to the pre-agreed frequency, and immediately heard the call of the airborne regiment: "Desert Leopard, Desert Leopard, please withdraw from the enemy immediately, the armed helicopter is about to dispatch, please stay away from the opponent's armored forces to prevent accidental fire. "

The most dangerous time has passed. After dawn, Major General Manav commanded the sixteen Gazelle helicopters in the base, which had already mounted Hult anti-tank missiles and started their attack.

The defensive positions set up by the airborne troops were originally intended to block the opponent's tanks outside the airport, but now, nothing is used. At dawn, as long as they have not been in close contact with the opponent, then, only by relying on helicopters, they can attack the opponent's armored forces. , pose a strong threat.

Hades reluctantly ordered his convoy to quickly withdraw from contact with the opponent. The huge tire returned to the air force base amidst the bumps of the collision with the ground.

The troops sent by the [-]th Armored Division slowed down after being harassed. After dawn, they found that the harassing themselves were just a few thin-skinned armored vehicles that were running very fast. Yi While Deli sent a few tanks to drive them away, he ordered the rest of the tanks to move towards the already clearly visible airport.

However, at the next moment, Idli began to panic. Above their heads, a group of small dragonfly-like helicopters flew, but those helicopters were definitely not as gentle as dragonflies. Reaper's Gazelle Gunship!

The front hemisphere of the little antelope is made of glass, which can obtain the widest front view, but it also leads to an absolute lack of bulletproof capability. As long as a 12.7 mm caliber high-shè machine gun is used, the glass can be pierced. Therefore, from From this point of view, the Little Antelope is not an armed helicopter at all. When it was designed, it was only treated as a reconnaissance helicopter.

However, after mounting four Huot anti-tank missiles under the short wings on both sides, this improved helicopter is definitely a killer against armored forces.

In the Yom Kippur War, even the sturdy Israeli armored troops were very terrified when facing Syrian helicopters. The little antelope could launch calmly beyond the firepower of the high-firing machine guns of the tanks. The missiles destroyed many Israeli tanks. In this situation, it was not until the Israeli armored forces, accompanied by the M-163 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, that they could threaten the Gazelle helicopter.

However, the second-line armored force of the Fourth Armored Division can equip a large number of T-55 tanks and ensure sufficient ammunition, which is already very good. The limited self-propelled anti-aircraft guns are all left in Damascus. It is also very powerful to deal with possible threats on the building.

The Hult anti-tank missile is a typical representative of the heavy-duty long-range second-generation anti-tank missile. Its performance far exceeds that of Seg, the pilot of the Gazelle helicopter, and it is absolutely effective against the armored forces of the rebels who came to surprise them. Not being soft, soon, one after another tanks were destroyed on the road only a few kilometers away from the air force base.

The one-sided battle was staged under the watchful eyes of the airport defenders, and at the same time, the news was sent back to Damascus.

At this time, Rifaat had completely controlled Damascus. In the zhèngfǔ building, in Hafez's former office, Rifaat felt that he was sitting on that chair, but he was not stable.

The situation changed so quickly that he was far beyond his expectations. If it was just that the air force base hadn't been taken down and Manaf jumped out to fight him, it would be easy to solve. But now, the Iraqi armored forces outside Damascus, It made him feel completely chilled.

Where did the Iraqi army come from?Why are they moving so fast?If there was no Iraq, his coup would have been very successful, but now, the situation has become uncertain again due to the emergence of the Iraqi army.

Rifaat only controlled Damascus. Outside, there were many Syrian troops. Originally, Rifaat had sufficient confidence to make them obey him, but now it is hard to predict.

Rifaat felt that he had neglected this important aspect: he had not won the support of Iraq!

Chapter 799 Support from all parties

Originally, there was no need for this point. Syria and Iraq were not at odds with each other. Rifaat never thought that if he wanted to win Iraq's support, he would still try to compete with Iraq for leadership when he came to power.

However, Manav is a young man, a pro-Iraq faction.Manav dared to do such a thing, with the help of external forces, to participate in the internal struggle in Syria!In particular, it is relying on the power of Iraq, the rival in Syria's eyes!
