Chapter Forty-Three Explosion

  RPG-7 rocket launcher, full name Rocket Propelled Grenade (portable) rocket propelled grenade launcher, 7 is the version number. It is a portable anti-tank weapon that launches rocket shells, mainly used for close-range strikes against tanks, armored vehicles and fortifications. The scientific name is "rocket propelled grenade launcher", commonly known as rocket tube.

  In later generations, the RPG-7's great name is known to all, and it has been used by terrorist organizations with great skill, often creating astonishing examples of warfare.

  At this time, it has been more than 20 years since the birth of RPG-7. Countries such as Iran and Iraq have already been able to produce this low-end high-energy weapon on their own.

  Seeing the tail smoke approaching, Zhang Feng immediately stood up all his hair and shouted loudly: "Hades, hurry up, accelerate, turn left!"

  As an unguided rocket-propelled grenade, the RPG-7's shortcomings are also very obvious, that is, there is no control system, aiming entirely depends on the shooter's experience, and once launched, it is absolutely impossible to change the trajectory temporarily.

  So, as long as the rocket launcher is discovered in time and its direction adjusted, this danger can be avoided.

  Zhang Feng was even a little relieved, if the opponent's first target was not his off-road pickup truck, but the Hummer tank, because the tank's interior view is not open enough, and there is not much resistance to close-range infantry.

  This is also why in urban warfare, tanks must have infantry protection. Without infantry, the tank will become a target for the enemy.

  A smoking rocket projectile, a cross-country truck rubbing against Zhang Feng, flew by.

  Zhang Feng had just put his mind at ease, but once again he was on edge.

  That stray rocket shell flew straight towards the ammunition depot that was just seen!

  "Quickly, retreat, full speed retreat!" Zhang Feng shouted over the wireless radio.

  That poor Iranian soldier, in a place where fireworks are strictly prohibited, what is he doing, must have launched a rocket to play with, this time it's a big deal.

  Zhang Feng didn't care about what kind of military trial the Iranian soldier would face, his top priority was to get out unscathed.

  Ammunition sympathetic detonation is no laughing matter.

  If he had arrived a little earlier, he wouldn't have known where the other party's ammunition was stored, which would have been tragic. Zhang Feng wanted to be a hero, but absolutely did not want to be a martyr.

  Hades also found that something was wrong, and immediately stepped on the accelerator to death. The off-road truck, which weighed tens of tons, accelerated with all its might and rushed in the direction it had come from just now.

  It is possible to escape danger only by leaving the base before the ammunition explodes.

  Upon hearing the command on the wireless radio, everyone knew it was an emergency. Two off-road trucks were the first to rush out, and the commander's tank also accelerated to full speed, racing outward.

  The Iranian soldiers in the base also put down their weapons. They all knew that this was a matter of life and death, and they rushed out desperately.

  At this time, the only people still standing in place without moving were idiots and the Iranian soldier who had just fired the rocket.

  God is above, how can such things happen?

  He didn't have time for much repentance, the next moment, a dazzling light stabbed his eyes, and then a strong gust of wind swept him up.

  Ammunitions and explosives brought by off-road vehicles, enough to support the armored troops for half a month, were all ignited like fireworks.

  "Boom, boom!" In the midst of a massive explosion, the high-temperature and high-pressure airflow generated by the detonation of ammunition stirred up the air, forming a powerful storm. Centered around this, within a radius of one hundred meters, there was no longer any living creature standing upright.

  The explosion of ammunition caused the unstoppable explosion of oil tankers, with continuous explosions sounding like the Spring Festival in the old calendar.

  The off-road truck was like a small fishing boat on the ocean, swaying back and forth in the stormy waves, very afraid that it would be overturned at any moment.

  The rear commander's tank, withstood greater pressure, however, the tank's armor was many times stronger than that of the off-road truck, and the tank was heavier. More importantly, Malwan gave a timely order to open the three-defense system on the tank.

  To increase the survival ability in nuclear warfare, all tanks have three defenses, various air intakes are closed, and an internal supercharger makes the air pressure inside the tank greater than the external atmospheric pressure, so as to minimize the impact of explosions on oneself.

  They ran out for a thousand meters and could still see the big fire burning at the base, with oil tankers being blown up from time to time. At that time, a sea of fire had already formed there.

  No one can survive there, it has become a hell.

  Malwan opened the hatch of the driver's cabin, took a deep breath, and the previous sprint had already exhausted his energy. He turned off the engine, otherwise the overheated engine would explode at any time.

  "Too bloody awesome!" Hadis punched the armrest and said to Zhang Feng beside him.

  The soldiers jumped off the vehicle, looking at the place where they had just fought, which had become a ruin. The fierce fire reflected red on the sky that was about to turn black, and their hearts were filled with an incomparable sense of pride.

  We are the Rattlesnake Special Forces, first battle use me, use me must win!

  The joy of victory made them relax their vigilance, and no one noticed that several cobras had quietly pounced on them.

  "What the hell! Where's the fuel truck? What are those transportation guys eating?" The two tank battalions that had retreated down were anxiously waiting for the fuel trucks to arrive.

  The previous battle made them not dare to be careless, the giant chieftain was the pride of the armored division, but also their burden. In the battle, those who fell into the swamp and lost combat effectiveness were almost equal in number to those who were destroyed, which is a shocking proportion.

  Moreover, the Chieftain's fuel consumption was too high, and the two battalions that had entered combat first had to withdraw and refuel.

  The only comfort for them was that the Iraqi army's T-62s had also been largely eliminated.

  They were the most elite armored troops, fully trained, and the fire control system of the Chieftain tank was extremely precise. Many T-62s were already taken out by the Chieftains at a distance of 1,800 meters.

  This gave them more confidence, as long as they left the swamp, it was a flat plain ahead.

  Now, the armored brigade blocking their way has already lost half of its tanks. With a bit more effort, they can break through the road to the south.

  So the two camps of warriors were extremely anxious, although their losses were also very heavy, but they had already seen that the Iraqi armored brigade in front was no longer able to withstand.

  Battle, sometimes, is about willpower.

  They all eagerly await the arrival of the oil tanker.

  Suddenly, a sharp-eyed soldier discovered a distant flame, so huge, what was it?

  They were anxious in their hearts, and that place was exactly where their base was located. Moreover, the oil tanker had not arrived yet, so they suddenly had a bad premonition.

  Inside the armored command vehicle, Rajavi heard a report that was simply unacceptable to him.

  "32nd Armored Division, this is Divine Eagle One. The rear logistics base has exploded. Visual estimate: all fuel and ammunition have been completely lost."

  "God Eagle One" is the codename for a CH-47 helicopter squadron. They were originally supposed to make one last cement delivery before dusk, but things escalated quickly here.

  CH-47 came from Avvas, saw a big fire burning below, knew it was bad, immediately reported to the 32nd Armored Division, and several Cobra gunships responsible for covering them immediately launched a crazy counterattack.

  No ammunition, no fuel, a huge armored force is just a burden. Rajavi was as if he had been slapped twice and didn't come to his senses for half a minute.

  In front, two armored regiments are engaged in a bloody battle with Iraqi tanks and have gained the upper hand. Although casualties are heavy, the T-62s can no longer withstand it. As long as the Iraqi armored forces in front are defeated, the rolling torrent will be able to rush to the rear of the Iraqi defensive line and tear open a gap.

  The two armored battalions in the rear were waiting for fuel replenishment, but unexpectedly, an accident occurred.

  What kind of command should be made now?

  "Report General Sharaf immediately." Rajavi and his aide beside him said.

  The consequences are too severe. If I were to order a withdrawal now, I'm afraid I would have to take responsibility for this failure myself. It's better to ask for instructions.
