"Poof!" A bullet flew out of the muzzle of the G36K carbine at high speed, hitting the target in a near-straight trajectory in the dark. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
With the sound of falling to the ground in the labyrinth passage, a meteor team member hidden in the shadows came out. After examining the target he hit, a soldier in camouflage uniform was killed on the spot by a bullet through the back of his head through the forehead, which was already the 7th enemy killed by his combat team today.
Luo Xiang took the secret fragments and some cultural relics he got from the tomb and planned to go out. Not only was the food only five days in storage, but he was anxious to bring the pieces back to base. But to his surprise, in the labyrinth, they encountered a number of searching soldiers, and after grabbing a tongue and questioning, they learned that the entrance outside was surrounded by the Somaliland political axe army.
After some deliberation, the group felt that it would be too difficult to forcibly break through the blockade of the enemy outside, and it was easy to cause damage, and they finally unanimously decided to make full use of their knowledge of the maze and carry out a sniper operation against the enemy outside in the maze. When they made this decision, they didn't know that He Xiaoqiang outside was also sniping the tank brigade with the rest of the Meteor team, because this maze had a strong magnetic field reaction for some reason, and the communication tools in their hands could not be used here at all.
A sniper operation, which has been going on for three days. They counted that they had killed no less than a hundred enemies in total, but there were still many soldiers pouring in outside, scattered in the vast labyrinth.
After quickly eating a box of canned fish from the enemy, Xiao Liu burped contentedly. Originally, I was worried about the lack of food, but those enemies who came in from outside, each of them carried three days of food, mostly compressed biscuits and canned fish, especially canned fish, so that these Meteor team members who gnawed hard biscuits every day finally satisfied their appetite.
"Captain, there's no way to go on like this. There are too many enemies, and we don't know how many enemies there are outside, so are we going to spend the New Year here? Xiao Liu took a sip of water before saying leisurely, and the last sentence was pure ridicule.
Luo Xiang, who was eating silently, glanced at him when he heard this, and then looked at the other team members, although everyone looked the same as before, there was always a trace of tiredness between their eyebrows. After three days of fighting, although it was not a high-intensity battle, everyone basically did not rest much; Because there is no place to hide in the labyrinth, there are passages everywhere, and everyone has to guard against which hole suddenly appears at any time, and the nerves of the whole person are always tense. Although the physical fitness of the members of the Meteor Commando Team is very good, they are not iron-clad, and after a long time, their spirit is much worse.
"The tongue caught on the first day said that there was a tank brigade and a special operations team from the Somaliland capital, which was part of the direct forces of the Somaliland president. Have you noticed that the quality of the enemy the day before yesterday and yesterday was not very high, basically the level of the ordinary army, but some of the enemy who came in today were much more sensitive than those soldiers before; Little Liu, were you almost injured before? Luo Xiang didn't answer Xiao Liu's question directly, but talked about another thing.
Xiao Liu smiled, although he was the deputy captain of the 2nd team, he was no different from an ordinary team member. His combat group had always been the fireteam of Detachment 2. Carrying the only anti-tank launcher of the entire detachment, the last anti-tank missile was fired in the burial chamber, and the group became the assault group, the same surname as the other groups. However, Xiao Liuyi hadn't changed yet, and he almost fell into the road.
"There's only one entrance and exit, and it's still guarded by the enemy. It was difficult for us to get out, there were rocks all around here, and it was impossible to get through. So we're still here to fight the enemy. But I'm going to divide you into two groups, one to rest here, and one to go out and snipe the enemy. I don't believe it, kill him a dozen or twenty people every day, how many enemies outside let us kill! Luo Xiang's decision was also well thought out. This labyrinth also doesn't know how to be built, and the scale is large enough. Ordinary methods simply can't completely lock down this place. Because the passages in the labyrinth are criss-crossed, ordinary means do not work, and Luo Xiang does not have to worry that the enemy will expel them by flooding them with water, fire, poison gas, etc.
Outside, with the three-day assassination of He Xiaoqiang and others, the officers of the 2nd Tank Brigade were reduced by half. Most of the remaining half became the commander of the tank and hid in the tank and did not come out. The Somaliland political axe army also set up several traps, using soldiers to pretend to be officers to lure He Xiaoqiang and others to take the bait, but they did not work, but they lost many soldiers.
Moreover, because of the mass deaths of officers, panic has ceased to spread among the officers, and even abnormal confusion has appeared among the soldiers, and last night a soldier even deserted, although he was captured and shot, but the instability of the army's morale is already a problem that cannot be ignored.
Unable to find the enemy, the commander of the tank brigade reported the matter to President Kashin, gathered the scattered team, set up a defensive line around the hole with tanks, and ordered the soldiers to pour gasoline on the weeds hundreds of meters around it.
Without the cover of the grass, it was very difficult for the Meteor commandos to attack the tank brigade.
"Damn, who's inside and outside? We have lost 37 officers and 135 soldiers so far! In the makeshift headquarters, surrounded by three tanks, Major Mehaddou took off his military hat and cursed fiercely.
"Yes, now the army's heart is unstable, I see that the soldiers are very afraid, and they have no will to fight at all!" An officer immediately interjected; However, there was a hint of emptiness in his tone.
The commander of the 2nd Tank Brigade, Moore, glared at his subordinate viciously as he spoke, and secretly cursed a coward in his heart; Unbeknownst to him, he himself was the first officer to spend the night in a tank, and the reason was, of course, that he, as the commander of a tank brigade, had to rest with the soldiers.
"Major Mehadou, I wonder what instructions the president has? Although we haven't been there, according to the reports of the soldiers who have returned, it is very large, like a labyrinth, and there are very powerful enemies. We can't go on like this, we have to find a good way to solve this problem! Moore knew that he and Mehadou were closer to President Kassin. The tone of his speech was very tactful, and he completely regarded Mehadou as a level.
Mehadou knew in his heart that Moore did not intend to stay here any longer, but he had to stay because of the president's orders.
You must know that the officers who have died in the past few days are basically in the tank brigade, and most of them are Moore's cronies. It was with these cronies that he was able to firmly control the 2nd Tank Brigade. Without the support of these junior officers, Moore could even become a puppet.
"Don't think about reinforcements!" Mehadou said lightly, "The Somali side is issuing statements warning every day, and the president cannot mobilize more troops on the grounds of normal training." After all, the opposition in the country is also very strong. Now it's just us! ”
Moore's heart sank when he heard this, and he still had a one-ten-thousandth expectation that the president would send more troops. Although the enemies inside and outside are strong, they are not numerous, and filling them with human lives can also exhaust the opponent to death. But without reinforcements, relying on their thousands of people, most of whom are armored soldiers, how to deal with those enemies? Do you use the soldiers of the 2nd Tank Brigade as cannon fodder? Without the 2nd Tank Brigade, what power does he have in Moore?
"Brigadier Moore, we must carry out the president's orders to the end, even if we run out of teams, we must complete them, otherwise, the president will not be able to explain it!" Mehaddou looked at Moore's flickering eyes, and knew what the hell he was thinking, and immediately said something threatening.
"That's that, we will definitely carry out the president's order!" Moore's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly reassured with a smile. I regretted it very much in my heart, I thought it was a very easy task, but I didn't expect it to be in a situation where it was not embarrassing.
"But Major Mehadou, you also know that we are a tank unit, and we can't exert our combat effectiveness here at all, so we can only let these excellent tank soldiers die in vain, so I think this mission will rely on your action team a lot!" Moore was reluctant to lose power, even though he was afraid of the president's punishment. hurriedly complained. He didn't say this purely complaining, and it was true. Treating tank crews as infantry to fight the enemy is a real waste. You must know that the training of tank soldiers is not easy, especially excellent tank soldiers. Somaliland does not have a formal armored academy, and most of the soldiers have accumulated countless experience after more than ten years of training before becoming qualified armored soldiers. If you die one less one, the loss is too great!
"Bang!" Just as a few people were talking, they felt a shock in their bodies at the same time, and an earth-shattering explosion sounded not far from them, and several people felt like a nest of bees were being stuffed into their ears, buzzing.
"What's going on?" Moore and Mehadou shouted at the same time, but did not dare to stand up, but lowered their bodies and looked around the edge of the tank, and soon saw that one of the tanks on the periphery was on fire, and in their eyes, it exploded again.
Moore, who was familiar with tanks, turned ugly, and of course he knew that it was the cause of the anti-tank missile, and the subsequent explosion was the detonation of the shells inside the tank.
"Damn it, rush over and destroy them!" Anti-tank missiles are not the same as snipers, the former can easily reveal their location once they are launched in broad daylight. The latter, except for a few people who know about snipers, can calculate the possible position of a sniper based on the angle of fire of the bullet.
The two tanks started up and rushed towards the southeast with great momentum, and the muzzles of the guns had already been pressed down and aimed at the front.
