Chapter 453 Encountering a Strong Enemy

In the future, Iran's ballistic missiles are a replica of North Korea's missiles, and now North Korea sells the T-62 tanks imported from the Soviet Union to Iran at a high price! It's a complete one-handed payment and one-handed delivery!

In fact, North Korea had obtained the design blueprints of the T-62 tank from Syria in 1970 through its "agents". These blueprints were used to develop North Korea's own T-62 imitation models. Now North Korea has obtained the early T-62 main battle tank from the Soviet Union. These have laid a certain technical foundation for North Korea to develop its own main battle tanks. North Korea does not value the T-62 tanks exported by the Soviet Union. They want to use these technologies to develop their own new tanks, and exporting them to Iran to earn high foreign exchange is extremely important to them.

Just two days ago, a Syrian cargo ship arrived at the port of Chabahar and transported 160 T-62 tanks and other North Korean-produced weapons, including guns and other light weapons, to Iran!

In the battle on the Iranian front, tanks are the most needed! Now that Iran has begun to counterattack, it needs the impact of tanks even more! If it weren't for tanks, Iran would not have taken the risk and turned against the Soviet Union. Now, this batch of tanks is very important. The captain of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, Muhsin, came here in person to receive them!

Transporting by rail is fast, but the railroad had been destroyed by the Americans long ago, and it was also easy to be exposed, so Muhsin did not choose to take the railroad, but marched directly on the small road by motor! Anyway, for Iran, the last thing it lacks is fuel.

In this way, it took a day to unload the goods and a day to walk. Just when we were leaving Sistan Province, we received news of the Soviet airborne paratroopers!

The terrorist attack planned by our side in the Soviet Union failed. The Soviets killed all the people we sent! We must avenge this! What's more, the Soviets have airdropped troops in Sistan Province!

The Soviet conspiracy is now clear! They want to occupy Iran! Sure enough, the two Satans, the Soviet Union and the United States, have bad intentions! The tracks of the T-62 tanks rolled over the mountains of Sistan Province. After two hours of forced march, they finally encountered the vanguard of the Soviet airborne troops!

T-62 tank!

Major Molenko's paratroopers were sitting on paratrooper vehicles and advancing quickly. They did not encounter any resistance along the way. It seemed that this operation would be very smooth. However, just as they reached a mountain pass in front, a deafening roar was heard from the opposite side.

"Boom, boom!" Along with the sound of artillery, 115mm grenades flew over and exploded around Molenko's paratrooper vehicle.

"Back off and find a suitable terrain to hide!" Molenko shouted. At this moment, he found that the T-62 tank was coming from the opposite side! Although this tank was eliminated by the Soviet Union, it was still a tank after all! And the paratrooper vehicle on the side was just an infantry fighting vehicle! And an infantry fighting vehicle can never fight against a tank!

Fortunately, the enemy's accuracy was quite poor. In the first round of artillery fire, only two soldiers on the outside of one paratrooper vehicle were scratched by the flying shrapnel, while the rest of the paratrooper vehicles quickly changed direction at the first possible moment.

A dirt slope, a small forest, or even tall trees can be used to hide the paratrooper vehicle. At the same time, the paratroopers sitting on the paratrooper vehicle also jumped down one after another, looking for a suitable position nearby and quickly assembling the RPGs they carried.

How could the Iranian tanks appear here? They crashed into the most heavily defended area of ​​the Iranians. Molenko secretly complained, but there was no other way now. The mountain pass ahead was the only way to reach the border!

So, after discovering the enemy's tanks, Molenko immediately sent a signal requesting reinforcements to his own reinforcements, that is, the aircraft carrier formation at sea.

Hold on for an hour and wait for air support to arrive!

The Soviet army did not originally focus on air support. Instead, they advocated heavy artillery. They had rolling armored torrents, rocket launchers that could plow the ground flat, and howitzers with super long range. The army could provide itself with sufficient fire support.

But this is a luxury for airborne troops! Airdrops have weight limits, and infantry main battle tanks simply cannot drop from the sky!

The T-62 tank in the front was getting closer and closer. Inside the turret, gunner Yotonio used the sight to suppress the tank.

Fire!

Above the 73mm low-pressure smoothbore gun, a 9М14М/П anti-tank missile flew out!

In addition to using RPGs at close range to deal with tanks, they also have another way, which is the anti-tank missiles called SEG by NATO! Although this is the first generation of anti-tank missiles of the Soviet Union, it shines on the battlefield. In the Middle East War in 1973, the losses of Israel's armored forces were almost all caused by this anti-tank missile. In the Battle of Mount Sun in the Golan Heights, the Syrian army destroyed and damaged more than 430 Israeli tanks with anti-tank missiles, which is equivalent to 3.4 times the number of tanks lost in the large-scale Alamein tank battle in World War II.

The SEG missile at the time used visual aiming, tracking and manual wired transmission command guidance, which was actually equivalent to a wire-controlled model aircraft, which was remotely controlled using a joystick.

Afterwards, the Soviet Union upgraded this anti-tank weapon, and now it is equipped with the paratrooper unit using a control method that is almost equivalent to the second-generation anti-tank missile, with optical aiming, infrared tracking, and semi-automatic guidance using wire-transmitted commands.

China's Hongjian-73 is actually a copy of this type of missile.

The anti-tank missile flew out with the wire dragging behind it. Shooter Yotonio pressed his infrared aiming source onto the target tank and adopted a semi-active guidance method. He only had to indicate the target direction, and the missile was controlled automatically.

A few seconds later, the flash of an explosion was heard in the sight.

The shaped-charge warhead formed a stream of hot metal, which drilled a small hole in the main armor of the T-62 and detonated the 115mm ammunition inside. The tank's turret flew high in the explosion, and even the body of the tank was shaken half a meter away from its original position.

"Boom!" With the explosion of this T-62 tank, the 105th Division Airborne Forces' counterattack against the Iranian armored forces officially began! This was a brutal battle!
