Chapter 1043: Steel Rain
Just a few seconds after the assault force used a competition-grade high-precision 7.62 mm NATO shell and a "shmir" to solve the entire defenders of the airport, the Angolans who heard a huge explosion in the barracks thought that the oil depot at the airport had exploded!
A group of people came out of the house to check, and found that there were large jets in the air in the distance, and it seemed that a large number of paratroopers had come down in the air, and the commander here shouted to gather the troops!
Enemy attack!
It is only a few months since the signing of the peace agreement in the country, and the SPLM in the capital, Luanda, which is busy organizing national elections and grabbing political turf, will not come in without a word.
Besides, even if the other side suddenly starts a war again, it will not be a paratrooper to storm Lukapa, which is deep in UNITA's territory!
If the People's Movement really wants to do this, they must also get enough transport planes out!
But no matter who the opponent is, it is certain that those paratroopers who came down from the sky are definitely not here to travel, and we will talk about it after fighting!
However, the people who had already run out of the barracks had not yet been effectively assembled, and they were caught off guard - it was raining.
Steel Rain!
The reinforced platoon of the "Combined Forces" monitoring barracks before brought a full six AГC-17 30mm automatic grenade launchers, and as soon as they noticed that there was an abnormal movement in the direction of the barracks, they smashed 174 rounds of 30mm grenades into the barracks in one go!
The original Afghan "Mujahideen" had tasted the hardships of this automatic Soviet-made automatic grenade launcher: even if it charged in a scattered formation, it was almost powerless to resist in the face of the rain of grenades falling like a torrential rain.
Flesh and blood, in many cases, cannot be fought against steel and explosives: now the soldiers of UNITA are considered to have fallen into blood mold!
After a single grenade explodes, people within a radius of 6 meters are either killed or maimed, and shrapnel can still cause effective casualties after flying 15 meters!
The area of the camp is large enough, and the grenades on the chain of the 29 drums hanging on each automatic grenade launcher are all inflated, and then replaced with new drums to continue, that speed!
Not only did the six automatic grenade launchers fire at full strength, but the AKMs in the hands of 15 contractors were equipped with GP-25 40mm gun-mounted grenade launchers: these guys had already approached 300 meters from the barracks, and each of them carried an additional six "frog" aerial grenades.
Each air-blown grenade landed on the head of the medicine chamber and fired, throwing the grenade upwards, basically suspended at a height of 1.5 meters and detonated, to achieve the greatest killing effect.
One word: poison!
Even if there is a very small possibility that the grenade did not activate the jumping chamber, after taking off, it will explode in the blink of an eye!
Unbeknownst to UNITA, these grenades have a 14-second delay self-destruct function, which will self-destruct when the time comes.
It's still going to fry.
In just one minute, this barracks was bombarded intensively by more than 400 small grenades, and it immediately became a mess!
The US Department of Defense slammed the door until it would not allow security contractors to buy even Mk19 grenade launchers, and the "combined forces" got a large number of AГC-17s from eastern Germany, which was no worse than the US military's equipment.
At the same time, this airborne troops also carried a lot of Chinese-made QLZ87 automatic grenade launchers, but they have not been used for the time being.
In the front barracks, there were more than one battalion of UNITA men, and in one minute more than half of their number of grenades were dropped, and hundreds of people were immediately killed or wounded.
The situation outside the camp was unknown, but the situation at the airport needed to be clarified, and a small number of UNITA personnel who had first come out from the south side of the camp to investigate had just emerged and were immediately hit with precision fire.
Not much, only 6 M21 sniper rifles equipped with night vision sights, the first batch of snipers are actually all first-class precision shooters, and the ambush location is less than 300 meters away from the camp, facing opponents who have no night vision ability are completely quick roll call!
One shot, if the 20-round magazine is let go, it can basically harvest ten to fifteen lives!
After waiting for a while, when the third wave of machine-gun grenades rained down, the UNITA commander inside couldn't bear it: three T55 tanks took the lead, plus a bunch of vehicles that could be found, rushed out together.
If you don't rush, this wave of grenades is not only an explosion with the power of grenades, but also a large number of 82mm and 60mm mortar shells smashed down!
Those who hid in a small number of fortified houses could withstand the attack of small grenades for the time being, but the 82mm mortar shells basically smashed through the roofs before exploding!
If we wait any longer, God knows if there will be a larger-caliber life-urging thing falling out of the way.
On the side of the "combined forces", the guys who landed at the airfield already knew the distance and angle between the airfield and the barracks, and this was the advantage of sending professional intelligence officers in advance.
As soon as this was opened, the airborne troops and airborne personnel at the airport immediately set up artillery positions and began intensive shelling of the camp area one kilometer away!
The UNITA soldiers who broke out of the camp came out late, and they were greeted by seven or eight anti-tank missiles and more than 20 rockets!
One by one, the fire dragons that were not particularly conspicuous flew towards their respective targets, the worst of which were three T55 tanks, each of which was hit by at least two or more anti-tank missiles, and under the attack of Red Arrow VIII, AT4 and AT5, the armor plates more than 100 mm thick were as fragile as paper paste!
Explosions were inevitable, and the turrets of both tanks were blown apart!
What's even more exaggerated is that there was a bunch of explosions mixed with huge spherical fires - the ammunition detonation was not so exaggerated, this is a guy trying to use "shmir" against those vehicles.
Although it is in an open space, the scene of the cloudburst explosion looks much more spectacular than the explosion of ordinary high-explosive rockets.
It was south of the camp, and in the other three directions, the first batch of 12 FAV tactical assault vehicles arriving by C130 transport aircraft was cruising around the UNITA camp – Boss Guan was manipulating the AГC-17 automatic grenade launcher placed in front of his seat to bombard a target more than 300 meters away.
The grenade launcher is equipped with a special low-light sight, which is as clean as swatting a fly with a fly swatter. As for Liu Wendong in the co-pilot, this is using the M240 general-purpose machine gun in front of the seat as a sniper machine gun.
Similarly, the machine gun also has a night vision scope, so there is no tracer bullet on the chain at all: at a distance of more than 300 meters, the automatic rifle in the hands of UNITA soldiers is basically better than nothing in the dark night by relying on the opponent's muzzle flash as a reference.
The unequal equipment in the dark night has caused such a one-sided situation, and the generation gap is so cruel!
This time, as the representative of the Tswa tribe, the assault vehicle of Chief Uvaru, who was bent on paying for his son, followed behind, and His Excellency did not use a curved automatic grenade launcher, but he also had a weapon of revenge!
