Chapter 247: Ambush
Billie loved the atmosphere of the GIs together, and it made her feel like she was back on the training ground. Both male and female trainees are accustomed to making small jokes during or during training. This helps to relax their tense nerves, which is more conducive to training or task completion.
Somehow, they talked about last night's car bomb. The sergeant said, "The Japanese have had enough of last night. When he was about to retreat, he actually died again. β
"What does this have to do with us? God is always watching over me, I'm going home, guys, I'm going to see my children. That's the most important thing in life. The corporal replied, a warm smile on his face.
"Oh, Billy, you're out of luck, get out of here. This will be your last mission in the Army. The sergeant also laughed and scolded during the call, "This is also the last time I will lead the team on a mission, guys, in fact, I also applied for retirement, I have to go see my parents." They're just me. β
The sergeant's words made the carriage seem much quieter. At this time, suddenly the armored personnel carrier in front of it stopped. The sergeant said in the newsletter: "There are okay items in front, they are placed on the side of the road, and I suspect they are bombs. Those Japanese at the Semavo base could be asked to defuse the bombs. β
"My God, how long will we wait if we wait until they come? It will take them at least two hours to get here. A soldier's words came, "Or we should go and see for ourselves, maybe it's just a pile of garbage." I've always had good luck, and I don't want to wait more than two hours in this hellish place. β
"Wait, man. We still have time. The sergeant's words came, "Massin, contact them, tune into their channel, and ask them for help." To be honest, I don't want to ask the Japanese for help, but we have to wait. Do you understand? Be vigilant, stay in the car, and don't let anyone out. β
There were already people in the car who were contacting the base of the Japanese. After a while, I heard the soldier who contacted complain: "****, they said it would take four hours to arrive." And we're here waiting. β
"Four hours? , they are ****. The sergeant immediately scolded, "What a bunch of stupid donkeys, will it take three hours?" They are deliberately delaying time, and they are finding fault with us. β
"Maybe it's revenge for not helping us last night, damn it!" The corporal also cursed at this time, and his feelings became a little restless. In such a hot place, everyone in the car is sweating. The air conditioning in the car could not be stopped, and if they waited four hours, they would not be able to support the fuel at the scheduled location.
Next, they will reach the Najaf supply base. There is a U.S. military base 20 kilometers from the city. Since the Najaf riots in 04, the rebels and the U.S. military fought fiercely, resulting in heavy casualties, the U.S. military has opened a new military base here.
However, because Najaf is a sacred place for Sunya, the U.S. military did not choose the camp directly in the city, but 20 kilometers outside the city, so that it was convenient to reinforce the city. The size of the base is not very large, much smaller than the US military base in Diwaniye, which is 150 kilometers away from here, after all, it is only a temporary establishment.
What's more, the Sun-leaf Iraqis here are extremely sensitive to the US troops stationed here. They don't want to have a team of outsiders next to their holy land. They want to rule the city on their own.
Time passed minute by minute, and the people in the car were waiting anxiously, and there were already people who were constantly wiping their sweat, not hot out, but anxious out. Because the longer you stay in one place, the more dangerous it becomes. They had already flown many missions in the desert and knew the dangers of doing so.
"No, no, no. We can't go on like this, Sergeant, we have to do something. One of the soldiers spoke, and he said with some anxiety, "We can't be stuck here for four hours with a pile of garbage, it's not good for us." It's dark, and if we can't get to the base, we'll have to sleep in the wilderness. And we don't have enough fuel! β
He said the truth, but the sergeant did not dare to risk it. He could only say in a deep voice: "Stay in the car, don't do anything, continue to call the base, if not, call directly to the base in Najaf." I'll complain to my Japanese bosses, damn it, a bunch of ignorant bastards, they're going to kill us. β
Okay, so I kept waiting. Billie felt a little uneasy, but she couldn't say it, because there was no basis, and her own judgment would not convince anyone, but would make them doubt their identity. It was more than worth the cost, and she resisted the urge and continued to wait.
"Hey, guys, can you say something? I felt like I was about to suffocate. This damn place. Corporal Billy, tell me about your fiancΓ©e...... We all love to hear this! Someone said to Billy, "You know, it's been a long time since we've seen a woman, I mean, really tasted a woman." β
"Don't mind, they talk nonsense!" Billy, who was next to him, said to Billie, "We usually talk like that, you know, if you stay in one place for too long, you will have all kinds of problems...... I mean, we're all vulnerable, especially in places like this. β
This was the first time this corporal had taken the initiative to speak to Billie. Billie was a little surprised, but nodded and said, "I can understand." β
The corporal nodded, and stopped talking to Billie. They had to wait on, the clock was ticking, but it was particularly difficult, Billie had watched the corporal raise his wrist and look at his watch more than once, and two hours had passed, and the sergeant's complaints had come from the communication equipment.
"Damn, it's going to take two and a half hours, and it's going to be at least three hours from the Diwaniye base. By then, we'll all be roast turkeys. β
"Do you still need to pluck your hair? Sergeant! Someone joked, but the response was a few flimsy laughs. They can't be optimistic anymore, what a damn task.
"No, Sergeant, I've got to go down and have a look!" The soldier who had spoken earlier said a word, then pulled open the door and walked over to the pair of trash on the side of the road.
"Hey, Massin, come back, don't go over, damn it, I said, don't go over!" The sergeant popped his head out of the window and shouted at the soldier who was trying to walk to the trash, "We've been waiting for half the time, we'll ...... right away," and his voice stopped abruptly.
"Bang-" sounded, and it seemed to be the sound of gunfire. Everyone heard it, but it popped up and no one knew where it came from.
The soldier who walked to the edge of the garbage heap suddenly covered his neck, and after half a circle, he fell to the ground in a strange position and convulsed. He covered his thigh with one hand and reached over to the sergeant in an attempt to shout, "I've been shot, I've been *** shot." β
"Someone got shot!" At the same time, there were also people shouting in the communication. Everyone was nervous, and the corporal was also nervous, looked around, and said to Billie, "I knew, I knew, damn it, stay here, don't do anything." Lie down a little and don't put your head above the window. This is a sniper. β
Yes, it was a sniper who hit the thigh of the soldier who went to investigate. Then wait for someone to come to the rescue, good fishing and shooting. This is the typical sniper's style of play. The Americans here know it, including Billie, too. But watching the soldier named Massin roll on the ground and scream, everyone's hearts were not good.
"I'll go, sergeant, I'll get him back." One of the soldiers suddenly screamed and rushed towards Massin, knowing that he would be sniped, but he rushed out anyway.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out. The soldier who rushed out suddenly leaned back, and the whole person slipped and fell to the ground, only about ten meters away from the Ma Xin who was hit. He was hit, motionless, it was clear that it was a lethal shot, and the sniper's purpose was clear, which was to use the wounded Massin to attract rescue, and then shoot one by one to take them out.
This time, though, they figured out the direction in which the shot was fired. The sergeant immediately went crazy and shouted, "Shoot, shoot, shoot at them, blow up the damn guys." In fact, without his orders, the two armored personnel carriers began to shoot desperately in the direction of the gunfire.
It was a sand dune on the high ground, and the bullets hit it, sending up puffs of smoke and dust. The sergeant decisively ordered, "Go to the rescue, go to the rescue, and drag the two of them back." β
So four men got out of the car and ran towards the wounded Massin and the dead soldier, and had barely gone far when the sniper fired again, this time in a different direction.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and one of the soldiers who was running at the front was hit, and as soon as his body was crooked, he fell to the ground, and the other three immediately fell down, and who knew that he only fell down, and one was hit in the helmet. This kind of Kelaf's helmet absolutely could not withstand the fire of a professional sniper rifle, and suddenly the soldier's head drooped softly.
The remaining two saw that the situation was not good, and they got up and ran back, and they had to quickly climb back on top of the armored car. He hadn't run a few steps before he was hit by two consecutive shots and fell to the ground.
At this time, Ma Xin's screams were slowly weakening. He had become weaker and weaker because of the massive blood loss. It seems that the sniper is not just one person, but two. This sent a chill through the sergeant's heart. It also made Billie's heart churn, she didn't dare to imagine, if there were snipers ambushed in Defense Secretary Stoneff? Where Carter appears, the result is bound to be tragic.
She had this hunch. At the same time, the face of that bastard appeared in the bottom of my heart, damn it, why did he run away alone? Damn it, now is the time when he is needed. (To be continued.) )
