Chapter 1115: Extinguishing the Fire
The missile fired at the Eagle Creek ammunition depot did not change its target, but randomly chose another serpentine maneuver and a different flight path, and the warhead was still aimed at the gate of the ammunition depot.
Because He Xiaochu and the officers who had been to that village did not know how big the ammunition depot was, nor did they know how effective the two missiles in front were, this missile still came towards the gate for the sake of safety.
Fighting a war is a battle of wits and courage, real and false, He Xiaochu's purpose is to destroy this ammunition depot, and the Liby African runner-up naturally wants to keep this ammunition depot.
The attacking side has to send the cruise missile into the cave, while the defending side has to destroy the cruise missile before entering the cave.
When the cruise missile appeared in the eyes of the deputy commander of the Libyaf Army, he immediately ordered the soldiers who had already been in battle to aim at the route the missile had just passed, and only wait for the opponent to enter the firing range before opening fire, while the heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns with a long range had already been ordered to fire in advance and fired fiercely at the missile.
Now the soldiers guarding the hill came out of their bunkers, trenches, bunkers, etc., and lay on the top of the most open hill or slope facing the canyon below, where there was the gate of the ammunition depot.
As long as the cruise missiles enter this canyon, they can form a fire net more easily than just now, and let the opponent crush to pieces.
Everyone here – including the deputy head of the regiment – knew that these fortifications were of no use and were a waste of manpower and material resources. The unorganized Tunian army attacked it, and it was the same to give up these positions or not, and the fortifications built at the cost of life and money were just the consequences of the deputy regiment commander's ass on the shoulders of the division commander.
The elite troops were elite troops after all, and in less than three minutes they were all over the hilltops on both sides of the valley, with the muzzles of their guns pointed downward, and officers at all levels loudly assigned firing areas.
The incoming cruise missile operated exactly according to the programme, and it did not know that there was a fire net waiting for it in front of it, but mechanically installed the path set by the program to enter a state of serpentine maneuver from the side dive after climbing.
The high-speed body pierced the air and made a piercing screeching sound, which made the defenders' eardrums tingle for a while, but the defenders, who knew the danger, did not have any timidity or fear, let alone any soldier flinched, they clawed their guns to death, their eyes widened, just waiting for the cruise missiles to enter.
The deputy regiment commander was sweating profusely, and once again opened his throat and shouted: "According to the arrangement just now, each is responsible for its own area, and it is not allowed to fight indiscriminately, and it is not allowed to follow the target, and only stare at its own target area to shoot." …… , get ready to ——, fight!"
Although the deputy head of the regiment patted the division commander's ass, he still had the ability.
He knew that the speed of the cruise missile was too fast, and if the muzzle of the gun moved with the target, just like the enemy who was charging in battle, it would definitely not be able to hit, because the speed of the cruise missile was too fast, even if it increased the amount of advance, and the speed at which people moved the muzzle could not catch up with its speed, not to mention that it was serpentine? The only way was to form a net of fire with metal bullets before it arrived, and wait for it to come in.
With his order, more than 1,000 people and more than 1,000 guns of this elite regiment all poured bullets into the valley. The people who were fighting the fire at the door of the warehouse ducked, and the flames in the door grew bigger and bigger, and the smoke billowed upwards.
The soldiers who were just above the warehouse door choked on the smoke and coughed, but they gritted their teeth and fired their bullets down in an orderly manner.
The Libby Runner-up Army was so well prepared, and the space in the valley was not large, there were more than a thousand automatic rifles plus a hundred light and heavy machine guns, and the order of the deputy regiment commander was issued in a very timely manner, and the fire network was formed just when the missiles were about to rush over!
No matter how serpentine and maneuverable a cruise missile is, it will not be able to escape through the gaps of such a dense number of bullets.
Tragically, the cruise missile exploded in the air by numerous bullets hundreds of meters away from the warehouse door. After the disintegration, the missile fragments, including the fuel carried by the missiles, continued to rush forward at high speed due to inertia, covering all the roads and canyons in front of the warehouse, and all the vehicles, weapons, and food that had not had time to enter the warehouse and evacuate had received a cruel baptism.
The debris from the cruise missile explosion has a huge kinetic energy, they will penetrate vehicles, destroy weapons, and even cut food bags, and a few soldiers who have not had time to hide are reduced to pieces in this instant. Even a few soldiers hiding in the roadside gutters were turned into cold corpses by the cutting of the shards......
The unburned fuel of the missiles, the gasoline of the vehicles themselves, and especially the fuel pumped out of a tanker truck parked on the road that had not had time to evacuate, splashed all over the valley.
With a loud bang, the whole valley burst into flames, and even the trees on the hillside became torches, making a crackling sound, and with the mountain wind blowing, there was a creepy sound, and some of the unlucky soldiers were on fire all over their bodies, and the larger soldiers were roasted by the flames, and had to crawl and flee......
As for fighting the fire, it is completely impossible under this fire, no one can get close to the valley, and if you get close to ten meters, people's hair, eyebrows and even clothes will be burned, where dare to approach. There was only one water jet that sprayed a weak column of water from afar, but its effect could only be described as a drop in the bucket, and it did not work at all.
There was no living thing within thirty meters of the entire ammunition depot door, whether it was hiding just now or not, it had all turned into ashes without exception, but the time was different.
The screams of these soldiers from time to time were drowned out by the sound of the flames burning and the loud sound of the shells on the vehicles from time to time, and only occasionally came out, reaching the ears of the soldiers waiting on the top of the hill and the hillside, and it felt terrible, making some timid soldiers tremble.
The deputy regiment commander thought for a moment, and had to detach a part of the soldiers to throw mud and sand up and down the mountain.
If you can reduce the fire, you can reduce the fire a little, it's better than nothing.
At this time, there were also people in the ammunition depot who were working hard, carrying fire extinguishers to spray foam at the flames approaching the hole, trying to prevent or delay the entry of the flames, while quickly evacuating weapons and various supplies near the gate.
Because the cave inside was very large, the people in the cave were not afraid that the air inside would be burned out and suffocated to death, and what they saw inside was only the flames and smoke at the door, and they did not see the fire outside the warehouse, and could not feel the amazing momentum of the fire, so although they were very anxious, they still tried to extinguish the flames in an orderly manner according to the fire extinguishing procedures......
