Chapter 757: The sneak attack begins
Maiduguri's nights are cooler than during the day, as the nuclear power plant is declared to be under maintenance, bringing Maiduguri's only thermal power station to full capacity. Even so, in order to ensure the operation of the main industries in Maiduguri, power rationing has been carried out in various areas on a rotational basis.
Like the abandoned Kukava, at night the entire town is lit by candlelight, except for the roaring engines used in the mercenary camps.
However, mercenaries with deep pockets and hired people will naturally not be bothered by this. The base camp of the MK mercenary agency is brightly lit, with searchlights and patrol cars forming a cordon route without dead ends. Because two groups of patrol soldiers were killed during the day, MK stepped up his patrols at night.
It's just that these patrolling soldiers don't think that way at all, they don't care who buried the two bodies. They thought that some of the exiled mercenaries must have seen the girls who had been plundered back by these unlucky ghosts, and after killing them, they made an ecstasy array with burying the corpses. These people want a girl's tender and delicious body, but they are suspected of having a sneak attack plan at night.
In the first half of the night, there was a commander on duty, and these mercenaries did not dare to slack off. In the second half of the night, when the commander yawned and went back to the barracks to sleep, the patrolling soldiers went to sleep with their guns in their hands. Not to mention that there was no patrol in the warning area, and even at the gate of the barracks, only two soldiers were left standing and dozing.
"With this quality, you deserve to be wiped out tonight. "The scout company sent out by Gehry approached the gate of the camp, but there was no one to be seen.
A dark cloud slowly drifted in to cover the half moon, making the silver light scattered on the ground slightly dim. The hour hand pointed to two o'clock in the morning, and Gary gave the order to attack with a walkie-talkie.
As a string of light bombs pierced the night sky, the entire barracks was suddenly covered by four high-power all-weather machines. Except for the special power walkie-talkies used by the Gehry Legion, the entire camp was in a state of signal loss.
Immediately afterward, the self-propelled guns with the coordinates set began the first round of indiscriminate bombardment. Two base munitions rained down on MK's camp, and many soldiers were blown to pieces while they were still asleep.
A terrible siren sounded at the base, and in order to show the absolute suppressive superiority of the Legion in terms of weapons, Gary did not send soldiers in to carry out the infiltration strike. After the first round of two base ammunition was fired, Gehry gave the order for the tank cluster to advance into the operation. At the same time, minelaying vehicles began to lay mines along the east and west sides of the MK base, and on the periphery of the minefield, there was an ambush of high-fire soldiers of a battalion arranged in Gehry. If there are soldiers who escape through the minefield, the hidden fire will directly kill them.
MK reacted quickly, and after a baptism of purgatory, soldiers began to run out of the barracks, and under the command of the officers who were not killed, quickly entered the armored vehicles and tanks that had not been completely blown up. The soldiers began to distribute weapons, looking for cover to return fire. Gehry deliberately did not destroy the diesel generator set, and there is no need to pay so much attention to tactics to deal with this three-legged cat mercenary army.
MK's tanks began to assemble, and with the tanks charging ahead, MK's mercenaries seemed to be a little more emboldened. While firing his guns indiscriminately, he rushed towards the outside of the tank camp. Everyone knows that if you wait for the second round of enemy artillery attacks, you will not even have a chance to rush out.
Gehry is equipped with the 99C main battle tank independently developed by Huaxia National Ordnance Industry Group, which is a simplified version of the 99A main battle tank specially exported to Africa. However, the side armor and frontal active and passive armor were somewhat lowered.
Even so, this main battle tank with a main gun caliber of 125 mm is also the king of land warfare in Africa. The 12.7-mm anti-aircraft cannon operated by the captain poses a threat even to low-flying helicopters. Although the 99 for export to foreign trade eliminated high-tech equipment such as laser weapons and active ceramic armor, it was absolutely impossible for most African tanks to blast their armor from the front.
Ye Tian took Dashan and Xiaofei to sit in a main battle tank in the middle, and the driver and commander were the top of the Gehry Legion. Fortunately, the Type 99 cabin is spacious, otherwise it would be very crowded for five people.
The 99 tank has five lookout periscopes, and Dashan and Xiaofei have not learned how to drive, and they are also half-baked for aiming and shooting. But Ye Tian didn't care about that, holding a cigarette and cocking Erlang's legs in a space filled with the smell of diesel and engine oil, commanding the two bandits.
The 99 tank is autoloaded, but the shooting and aiming equipment Ye Tian still lets the two bandits switch to manual mode. Looking at the two bandits shaking the turret up and down, left and right to find the aiming angle, Ye Tian said triumphantly: "Let you find the feeling, and only when you use the motor to drive the turret can you hit with one shot." ”
"Attention to all units, attention to all units, the enemy has appeared a cluster of tanks, about two kilometers away from us. Now it is possible to aim, repeat, it is possible to do lock aiming. Hearing the voice in the pager, Ye Tian immediately violated the operating procedures by opening the top cover, sticking out half of his head, and commanding the two bandits to transfer the turret to the front of the camp gate instead of the periscope.
How dare the commander care about Ye Tian, he glanced at the driver pitifully, and he didn't even dare to command.
The firing range of the 99 tank was at a distance of 2000 meters, using * can directly penetrate homogeneous steel sheets with a thickness of 850 mm. Ye Tian had already seen that most of the tanks two kilometers away were light tanks like T-27 and 80.
"Uncle grass, any bird thing dares to open out. Ye Tian lowered his head and said to Xiao Fei with a bewildered face: "Quick, change the armor-piercing bullets, Lao Tzu will directly blow them up." ”
The sound of machine guns in the distance and the tremor caused by the tanks crushing the ground around them made the two bandits who had not yet experienced the baptism of the real battlefield a little nervous, and their reactions were slightly slower than usual, and they were stunned in place for a long time when they heard Ye Tian's words.
"Damn, were you scared silly before you could fire?"
Ye Tian glanced at the two bandits with disdain, and said to the commander, "Change the armor-piercing bullet." ”
Two minutes later, Dashan and Xiaofei came to their senses. With a guilty face, he thought back to the control knowledge he had learned, and carefully switched to the motor-driven turret mode.
"Relieved?"
"It's relieved!" Dashan nodded, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I didn't have this nervousness when I killed someone for the first time." ”
Ye Tian was just about to speak, but suddenly his face suddenly lowered his head. A tank shell from the other side flew over more than two meters above Ye Tian's head and hit the frontal armor of a tank 70 meters away from Ye Tian's tank.
"Fuck, died early, didn't you?" Although it was still several meters away from his head, it still made Ye Tian feel angry. Jump down and pick up the intercom and shout out to Gary.
"Captain Gehry, launch a general assault at once. Punch the master to death!"
