Chapter Ninety-One: Fighting in the Starlight
An anti-personnel grenade exploded near the anti-aircraft machine-gun position, blasting the bodies of two armed members of the armed extremist rebels who had hung up and tumbling straight under the sand dunes like logs.
Standing on the sand ground dozens of meters away from the top of the dune, the armed commander of the extreme rebel army, holding an assault rifle with a grenade launcher in his hand, a pair of eyes showed a fierce look on the gauze covering his face, and after finding that the grenade did not work, he had already pulled the trigger of the assault rifle and fired a long point shot while shouting: "Reconnaissance team, kill the lurkers and hold the position!" ”
With the commander's shout, dozens of armed members on the sand dunes quickly came to their senses, although the vision under the dark starlight of the night was very poor, but the direction of the bullets and the flames of the muzzle of the guns jumped and dodged figures, all telling everyone where the infiltrators lurking on the top of the sand dunes were!
The armed members who still had weapons in their hands all pulled the trigger one after another, fired point shots and strafing, but saw the figure ghostly flashing and jumping in the sand on the top of the dune, which could not hurt him at all, but killed several of their own armed members by mistake, they were either anti-aircraft machine gun shooters, mortar shooters, or anti-ammunition boxes, and they did not carry weapons at all, and when the grenade exploded, they were lying prone on the sand, but they heard the commander shouting, and before they could figure out what was going on, they were swept into a hornet's nest by their own people's random guns!
Seeing that figure rolling and jumping unusually flexibly dodging bullets and bullets, while his subordinates were killed one after another by the figure without using firearms, blood splattered everywhere and the miserable howl continued to sound, on the top of the old man's sand dunes, as if in a no-man's land, the commander was furious in his heart, and threw away the assault rifle after shooting the bullets in the magazine of the assault rifle in his empty hand, and ripped off the veil that covered his face, showing the appearance of a middle-aged Arab with a beard and a garlic nose.
After throwing away the assault rifle, the commander sprinted to a mortar, picked up a mortar shell from the open shell box, and instead held the mortar shell with the palm of one hand, and the other mortar with a pedestal tilted at a certain angle, did not adjust the muzzle angle at all, but only roughly aimed and cooperated with both hands to load the mortar shell into the barrel, and fired a shell!
With a short whistle, the mortar shells exploded on the sand piles of the sand dunes more than 100 meters away, blowing up the dust and fire of the boss, and on the top of the sand dunes, which was no more than 200 meters long and no more than 30 meters wide, the commander of this extreme rebel army had fallen into a state of rage and used artillery at such a close distance!
And it was a manual operation, and it didn't change the launch angle that was originally calibrated and aligned with the village!
Seeing that he had succeeded in blowing up the figure that was constantly reaping human lives, crashing headlong into another anti-aircraft machine gun and smashing into the sand, the bearded commander smiled proudly.
After the fierce light in the commander's eyes flashed away, he walked to the rifle he had just discarded, picked up the gun, shook off the sand and dust, unhurriedly took out a magazine full of bullets from the tactical vest, replaced it, looked around and made gestures to let the armed members who were still alive clean up the mess, and assigned manpower to continue to guard near the artillery cannon, this commanding height could not be lost, the commander carried the gun and two armed members and walked quickly to the sand dunes where the shells of the artillery bombardment were blown!
By this time, the exchange of fire on the top of the dunes had been silenced by a cunning shell from the commander, and the armed members with guns were counting the casualties and rearranging the anti-aircraft machine gun and mortar positions.
Although several armed members were killed for this, they were too close to have nowhere to hide, and the shock wave of mortar shells tore apart into broken stumps and scattered in all directions, but it was worth it, and there were still nearly forty armed members left on the top of the dunes, these people were systematically trained, and it was not a big problem to get together from the forty armed members to operate anti-aircraft machine gun shooters and gunners of artillery guns.
The commander with a beard on his face walked a distance of more than a hundred meters to another anti-aircraft machine gun, looked at a person who was rolling motionless in the sand and was covered in blood, and motioned to his subordinates behind him to come forward to check if this person had hung up, and immediately an armed member walked up and leaned down, turned the person lying on the sand on his side with the butt of his gun, and immediately changed his eyes and exclaimed in a low voice: "Boss, this is an Asian man about thirty years old, obviously not a Zahid tribal soldier, wearing a casual undershirt and trousers, Probably a passenger on a plane! ”
Seeing that the commander was holding a gun in his hand and did not speak, this armed member held the gun in one hand, and groped his free hand to the bloodstained Asian body, and found that his heartbeat and breathing had long been gone, his head and face were covered with sand, and his pupils that were not closed and stained with sand had a tendency to dilate, and there were at least several mortar shell fragments inserted in his body, because there were obvious blood holes in his thighs, waist and back, and red and black blood was oozing out of his mouth, nose and ears.
The armed member quickly searched his pants carefully, and found nothing, except that he saw a few metal safety rings of grenades on the tactical knitted belt around his waist, and the Asian was barefoot and did not see any shoes nearby, and did not know if he was blown away by the air wave or did not wear shoes at all.
The armed member of the extreme rebel army had just wiped the blood stains on the Asian man who had hung up a few times, and was about to stand up and leave, when the commander's low, cold voice rang in his ears.
"This person has caused such a big loss to my detachment, I will cut off my head and put it on now, and I will bring it back to the base after exterminating Zahid's tribal armed detachment!"
The armed member squatting on the sand did not hesitate, pulled the dagger from the scabbard on the tactical belt, and felt that it was difficult to operate with one hand, so he put the assault rifle with a grenade launcher on the sand, clasped one hand on the top of the Asian man's head and pulled the short hair that was not too long, and the other hand holding the dagger was close to the man's neck, ready to cut the bones and muscles of the neck.
As soon as he started sliding and cutting, he felt that something was wrong, the arm holding the dagger felt immobile, and when he looked closely, there was a palm stained with sand and blood on the arm, and this armed man had not come back to his senses, how could the dead still be resurrected? I felt like my arm was forcibly flipped, and then my neck hurt and I didn't know anything.
The commander had already walked to the vicinity, wanting to check the condition of those seriously wounded (he was going to send them a ride to heaven or hell to report, the injuries were too serious to be saved, and would only become a burden for the other armed members during the battle), and saw that the armed members squatting on the sand were obviously wrong, and even under the starlight of the desert, they could see that their bodies were stiff for a moment!
The commander's face changed slightly, and he was about to see that the situation was wrong and pull the trigger of the assault rifle in his hand, when he saw the armed member's body stiff and tilted to the side, and almost at the same time, the Asian who had hung up suddenly came back to life, his body bounced up from the sand like a shrimp, and he held a dagger that emitted a dazzling light in his hand and slammed straight into the commander!
The bearded commander was very agile, and he quickly pulled the trigger while rolling a weird side, and the roll was successful to avoid the impact of the Asian man, but he was surprised to find that he did not hear the cheerful sound of the bullet being disemboweled, and there was no crisp metal impact sound of the bullet casings falling on the sand one after another, and after rolling over and standing up, he found that the assault rifle had been cut into two obliquely, and the back half and the butt and trigger were held in his hand, and the first half of the rifle had fallen on the sand!
The commander knew that something was wrong, no matter how good the dagger was, it would be difficult to cut the assault rifle in two with one knife, and he was just about to continue rolling away, when a dazzling knife light flashed in front of him, and the commander's good head flew out diagonally and smashed into the sand and rolled out of the distance, and the blood plasma splashed at the neck of the lost head more than a meter high, and the corpse shook twice and then fell to the ground, smashing up a lot of dust!
The situation developed so fast that two people were hung up one after another in just a few seconds, and even the commander was directly killed in a short fight, and more than 30 armed members of the extremist rebels who were rearranging anti-aircraft machine gun and mortar positions did not react at all, and they were all stunned, and it was hard to believe that the people who were blown away by the shock wave of mortar shells were still alive!
The first to react was another armed member not far from the commander, just now when the commander asked another person to check the situation of the person who fell on the sand, this armed person was checking the anti-aircraft machine gun, whether it was affected by the explosion of the mortar shell, whether it could be used, who knew that it was only a few seconds before the situation suddenly changed, and the person who had already hung up could still burst out and kill two people one after another!
Also because the anti-aircraft machine gun has adjusted the shooting angle can not shoot the high-altitude bullet at the close by, the 14.5 mm single-barrel anti-aircraft machine gun bracket structure and the vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft machine gun are obviously different, the former is a separate metal chair after the person sits on it and presses the firing button, while the vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft machine gun is a person standing behind the shoulder carrying the C-shaped butt to fire, without the butt can fire directly, because of the different designs, Although the 14.5 mm single-barreled anti-aircraft machine gun was very powerful, the operation speed of adjusting the angle of fire and azimuth was not fast, and the armed member who was checking the anti-aircraft machine gun was also ruthless, seeing that there were no other armed members nearby, he threw two grenades through the anti-aircraft machine gun, and lay on the sand with his elbows and knees under the cover of the anti-aircraft machine gun to avoid being injured by the shock wave of the explosion.
Unexpectedly, a thrown grenade suddenly bounced back and smashed on the anti-aircraft machine gun rack and rolled down on the sand, falling one meter away from the armed members of the extreme rebels lying on the sand.
"Boom! Rumble! ”
The two grenades exploded without incident, and the black and red smoke flew everywhere on the dunes
