Chapter 126: The Decisive Battle Comes
If Gao Yang had fired, they would have to guard against the close proximity of the Libyan soldiers, but fortunately, the officer who executed the prisoner did not shoot Abdul in the head, but pushed Abdul and took Abdul back to the palace.
When Abdul was taken away, a soldier with an AK rifle raised his hand and shot the only prisoner standing at the entrance of the palace on behalf of the officer.
Seeing Abdul being brought back to the palace, Gao Yang took a breath and put down the gun, but he didn't dare to relax his vigilance, and said in a deep voice: "From now on, take turns to monitor the gate of the palace, as long as Abdul is pushed out again, we still have to take action." ”
Cui Bo whispered: "But, if Abdul is ......"
"Shut up, rabbit, can you let Abdul go, please shut your crow's mouth, if Abdul is killed in the palace, then we can't do anything, but I believe that as long as you close your crow's mouth, Abdul will be fine." ”
Cui Bo thought for a while, and then said very seriously: "Okay, what you said also makes sense, then let me say so, I think Abdul will definitely be fine, he is still in danger this time, just like us Benghazi, well, he will definitely not die." ”
The danger to Abdul has passed for the time being, but the danger of exalting them is far from over, they will soon face an attack, but all the people you can see are enemies, if not now, but definitely potential enemies.
Several people had no desire to speak, and the hut was deadly silent, but the rumbling of cannons grew louder and louder, including the explosions of large-caliber shells, and by night they could already hear the sound of gunfire clearly.
The sound of gunfire means that the battle has taken place outside the Azizia barracks, although the gunfire is not very dense, but Gao Yang has to be in good spirits at this time, always keep a night vision device on at night, and also take turns to monitor the door of the palace.
Khamis did not execute the prisoners during the night, but by daylight on the 22nd, the gunfire outside the Azizia barracks was so intense that it had completely resounded, mixed with almost non-stop explosions, and the fighting in Tripoli had entered a fever pitch.
The fighting outside the barracks was extremely fierce, but there was a dead silence inside the barracks, although every now and then a shell would fall into the barracks, and even fall on the grass next to them, but the faces of those Libyan soldiers did not see a look of panic, but as resolute as ever.
For Gao Yang, the Libyan soldiers he knows are not like this, it is the patent of the opposition to regard death as home, the defeat of the first war is the specialty of the government army, he has never seen a government army's troops, can still fight with a casualty rate of more than one-tenth, if it is obviously a battle to the death, before the government army enters the position, more than half of the soldiers run to the opposition, as for the remaining half, as soon as the military uniform is taken off and mixed into the civilians.
Gao Yang knew that the Sultes around him were all Gaddafi's fellow countrymen, and his loyalty to Gaddafi was not comparable to those ragtag armies, but Gao Yang now preferred that the soldiers around him were all ragtag armies that were about to collapse at the touch of a button, so that at least no one would drag them to death.
When the time came to the afternoon of the 22nd, the gunfire outside the Azizia barracks gradually stopped, and at this time everyone knew that Tripoli had been fully captured by the opposition, and the battle outside the Azizia barracks had come to an end, and the next thing was the battle inside the Azizia barracks.
At half past three in the afternoon, the gunfire almost completely ceased, and then for about two hours there was no movement at all, but after the calm before the storm, at half past five the opposition began a massive shelling of the Azizia barracks.
The first was covered fire, and shells fell randomly in various corners of the Azizia barracks, but the opposition still lacked heavy artillery and experience in using heavy artillery, and the shelling lasted only about half an hour, and there were very few shells.
In Grolev's words, the opposition's artillery bombardment was not as good as the ammunition base of one of their artillery regiments' salvos, and in Li Jinfang's words, the opposition's artillery shell base should, probably, and perhaps enough for the first round of test firing during their division's exercises.
Li Jinfang and Grolev had no feeling at all about the opposition's shelling, and it is no wonder that, under the influence of the former Soviet Union's doctrine of long live artillery, both China and Russia are artilleryism, and when the armies of these two countries are fighting, they do not plow the enemy's positions three or five times as if they were plowing the land with shells, that is, they obviously look down on their opponents.
After seeing the density of artillery shells that can collide in the air, and then looking at the artillery bombardment of the opposition, Grolev and Li Jinfang not only did not get nervous, but completely relieved their hearts, and after expressing their disdain for the opposition's shelling, they talked about the spectacular scene of artillery firing in unison on their respective armies, and then the two of them began to raise their bars because of which army in China or Russia had a higher density of artillery fire.
Gao Yang and Cui Bo also joined the battle group that raised the bar, but the two of them were not from a professional class after all, and they had no right to speak if they had not been soldiers, so they could only help Li Jinfang to help the momentum, and Frye, who was still very scared because of the shelling, was no longer afraid of Gao Yang's influence, but looked at Grolev with great interest and their quarrels.
When the opposition's shelling stopped after only half an hour, Li Jinfang and Grolev both felt a little unsatisfied, and both of them said that they had not heard the sound of cannons firing for a long time, and the result was that the opposition was too weak to fight for so long that it was not enjoyable at all.
When the shelling stopped, Gao Yang and the others could only regretfully stop raising the bar, because then, I don't know when they will have to fight each other, of course, it will have to wait until the opposition breaks into the wall of the Azizia barracks, but Gao Yang doesn't think that the Azizia barracks can hold out for a long time.
The opposition concentrated all the artillery fire on the wall of Azizia, and the most elite soldiers and weapons in the Azizia barracks in the whole Libya, when the battle was launched on both sides of the wall and at the gate, the intensity of the battle instantly increased by more than an order of magnitude, the sound of gunfire and artillery has been practiced, and there is no gap between the explosions, but the vast majority of explosions are made by rockets or mortar shells, and the explosions of heavy artillery are still very rare.
Contrary to Gao Yang's expectations, the fierce fighting continued until the end of the evening, and the Azizia barracks were not lost, after nightfall, although the gunfire did not stop, but it has become much more sparse, the opposition and the government troops stationed in the Azizia barracks lack the means to fight at night, but it is obvious that when the sun rises the next day, it is the decisive moment of Zuihou.
