Chapter 61: Rare Support Firepower
The major ordered a signal flare to be fired, but in fact, the tribal warriors of Farhad and Elham had to find a way to rush into the front of the canyon on camels, and take advantage of the camels to disperse short-term high-speed assaults on both sides, constantly attacking the crossfire points composed of several six-wheeled infantry chariots controlled by the rebel forces, and buying the necessary time for the army to press head-on!
Although the model of the six-wheeled infantry used by the rebel armed bandits is older, it is actually taken from the hands of the Malian government army, but the appearance and paint are somewhat different, and the performance of the six-wheeled infantry vehicle of the Mauritanian army is basically the same, the armor is somewhat weak, but the main weapons are 25 mm cannons.
Now the bodies of these infantry chariots are all buried in the sand, only a few armor plates and cannon shells are exposed, and there are several circles of sandbag masquerading around the chest wall, and at the end it is also covered with a desert yellow camouflage net, and the infantry chariots are used as fixed fire points, and several infantry chariots are buried in the desert to form a tight crossfire point, not rushing close, whether it is the army's wheeled infantry chariot cannon, or recoilless cannons, automatic grenade launchers and other weapons and equipment, because the desert canyon terrain is flat and it is difficult to hurt these infantry chariots buried in the sand!
Ever since Fatuna revealed that the rebels had several wheeled chariots in the gorge, the major was worried that when the rebels attacked the checkpoints and refugee camps, there were no six-wheeled chariots, which also did not match the information obtained by the two tribal leaders, Fahad and Eliham, who had reconnoitred twice.
At that time, Farhad and Elliham had already scout near the mine, and they didn't see any wheeled chariots at all.
Knowing that there was a significant change in the intelligence, Eliham dived into the desert outside the canyon again, and carefully observed with a telescope, only to find that there was something strange in it, in the middle of the two-kilometer canyon, there were several sandy places covered with camouflage nets, Eliham waited patiently to lurk in the desert sand, and when the armed bandits covering their faces opened the camouflage net to change the guard, they clearly saw the cannon turret from the telescope lens, which confirmed that it was indeed a six-wheeled infantry chariot buried in the sand!
Without getting rid of a few six-wheeled chariots, it is difficult for the troops to approach the entrance of the mine at the end of the canyon, and the signal flare of the major is actually to let Farhad and Elham lead the tribal warriors to act as cannon fodder, riding a camel to repeatedly detour close to the infantry chariot buried in the sand, attracting the fire of the infantry chariot cannon, which is the main task of the tribal warriors riding on the camel!
The flares had risen into the air, and the soldiers of the army had formed formations, and the light and heavy fire had been fired at several six-wheeled infantry vehicles buried in the sand, but to no avail.
At a distance of more than 800 meters, the disposable bazooka carried by the soldier shot a few shots, all of which flew crookedly to the desert sand beside the infantry chariot and exploded, and it was like scratching the infantry chariot with several layers of sandbags around it, and the automatic grenade launcher with a tripod was taken down from the car, and only a few grenades were fired and then a few circles of sandbags were blown away, killing several armed bandits.
And the muzzle of the machine gun is still spitting flames and firing fiercely, after discovering this automatic grenade launcher group that is firing on the desert sand, a string of machine gun shells hit, several soldiers were instantly beaten into pieces of minced meat, the helmet smashed to the sand with human flesh and blood, and the blood splashed on the faces of other soldiers far away, it is impossible to describe the terrible mood in the hearts of the soldiers, these soldiers have not withstood the test of actual combat, and when it comes to wartime, they show a gap with the veterans, and the technical and tactical level is greatly reduced!
A slowly advancing six-wheeled infantry chariot covered the surrounding soldiers who were using weapons, and after moving forward a few dozen meters, it was hit by an anti-tank mine and caught fire and stopped.
Farhad, who was riding on a camel and driving the camel to trot, looked at him and knew that it was time for the tribal warriors to strike!
Farhad raised one hand and waved left and right a few times, hundreds of tribal warriors covered their faces with scarves and robes, shouted in unison to drive the camels under him to run quickly, and at the same time, they quickly dispersed in formation, hundreds of camels rushed into the canyon along the desert canyon with a width of one kilometer, and at the same time the AK74 assault rifle in his hand continued to fire and shoot point shots, and the camel's hoof prints flew and the sand and dust were scattered.
The muzzle of the rebel gun's machine gun turned to the tribal warriors who jumped over the army's attack line, and in the terrible sound of cannon fire, many tribal soldiers were beaten into several pieces with camels, and the blood stained the sand in the desert, and the anti-tank mines buried in the sand against the tank armored vehicles were not detonated after being trampled by camels, and the tribal warriors only needed to continue to advance and advance, relying on the continuous fall of the tribal warriors to attract the muzzle fire of the cannons that had become a fixed point of fire.
Farhad's eyes were already flashing blood-red, and the bloody aura was soaring, knowing that there were constantly tribal warriors around him who were bringing camels down, but he couldn't stop, constantly shouting and shaking the reins to drive the camels to run at the highest speed, AK74 assault rifle with a gun strap on his shoulder, one-handed gun pull the trigger to shoot a point shot, shooting at the wheeled chariot buried in the sand, there are many armed bandits around the chariot, and the AK74 in their hands is not vegetarian.
Seeing that it was only more than 200 meters away from a wheeled chariot buried in the sand, a blood mist suddenly appeared in front of Fahad's eyes, and his body fell directly and heavily on the sand, and a cannon shell swept over, directly breaking the camel's neck almost obliquely and falling to the sand.
Without a moment's hesitation, Farhad turned over and moved to the side of the camel in a low position, unbuckled the buckle from the saddle belt at a super fast speed, a Soviet-style rocket launcher launcher had already arrived in his hand, and then untied the camouflage canvas bag containing two rockets from the saddle belt (Song Xiaoshuang had used that bazooka launcher, and there were only two rockets left), loaded a rocket on the bazooka launcher, erected a mechanical sight, and pulled the trigger on the gun turret of the infantry chariot machine gun that was constantly firing more than 200 meters away.
In an instant, the naked eye could see that the rocket with flames spewing from the tail flew out, and in an instant, it blew up the sandbag breastwall near the cannon turret.
After looking at the dust from the rocket blast point, Farhad knew that the shot was missed, and he picked up the remaining rocket, rolled out a few meters away, kneeled on one leg and reloaded the rocket, and the rocket was fired before the cannon shell arrived.
This time, the turret of the infantry chariot machine gun was directly blown away by a rocket-boosted grenade more than ten meters away, and the shock wave and shmelel of the explosion also overturned more than a dozen armed bandits who relied on the infantry chariot cannon to counterattack, and the entire firepower point was directly knocked out!
Seeing that he had finally torn a gap, Elham pulled out his saber hanging from the saddle belt nearby, and the arm holding the knife was raised high and rushed towards it, and more than a dozen tribal warriors followed on camels!
With the dust from the explosion blocking the view of another chariot buried in the sand, Fahad threw away his bazooka launcher and kept rushing through the sand with his gun in a low position.
Farhad rolled and jumped to dodge the bullets of the AK74 assault rifle, and prepared to get close to the infantry chariot buried in the sand a few hundred meters away on the lateral side under the cover of Eliham and many camel-riding tribal warriors, throw out the grenades hanging on his body to kill the armed bandits around the infantry chariot, and finally destroy the infantry chariot's machine gun turret.
Seeing that several tribal warriors were bleeding and planted camels' backs, Farhad could only endure his resentment and continue to hide his body and rush forward, and he saw that hundreds of meters away, the infantry chariots covered with camouflage nets and mostly buried in the sand exploded one after another!
The sand and dust combined with the black and red smoke flew all over the sky, scattered human corpses were splashed everywhere, and the thick cannon barrel of the turret was deformed and directly dumb fire, Farhad looked shocked, turned his head to look at the top of the cliff in the right-hand direction, and could vaguely see a faint smoke rising, and then saw the smoke of the explosion rising from the sand near the cannon of another infantry chariot, but unfortunately it did not hit the target.
"Farhad, get on the camel, it's Fatuna's grenade, it's a rare opportunity to go around behind the firing point!"
Elliham, who was covered with a veil, had already put away his saber, trotted to Farhad's side on a camel, and spoke in Arabic quickly while firing a long point of cover with an AK74 assault rifle.
Farhad did not hesitate at all, ran a few steps, jumped more than a meter high with one lunge, stepped on the saddle belt with sandals, and rode on another camel with two shouts, driving the camel to speed up and run, and once again led the tribal warriors to rush forward, disrupting the defensive deployment of the rebel armed bandits (the original tribal warrior on the camel had fallen on the sand and was helpless).
A few minutes ago, on the ridge of Gentle Mountain, Song Xiaoshuang made up his mind and used the grenades fired by the automatic grenade launcher to eliminate the jumping mines scattered by the drone, and Fatuna fired three 35-mm anti-personnel grenades intermittently, successfully removing dozens of jumping mines distributed in pieces, and the last two grenades were fired out in order to prevent the possibility of some jumping mines that were not detonated by shrapnel and shock waves.
Seeing the success of the clearance, Song Xiaoshuang, Isabel, and Fatuna ran quickly across the ridge and rocky area several hundred meters wide, and turned into a crawling advance at the edge of the cliff wall close to the pen and steep, although the anti-aircraft machine gun near the mine cave in the desert canyon was deterrent shooting and did not find the target at all, but the armor-piercing bullet fired was not long-sighted, and no one would be stupid to rush forward directly against the barrage of armor-piercing bullets, and it was very necessary to hide their body as much as possible.
"Fatuna, get rid of the high-speed position at the entrance of the right-hand mine, be quick!"
Song Xiaoshuang and the three of them crawled forward to a natural depression a few meters away from the edge of the cliff, although the anti-aircraft machine gun armor-piercing bullets kept flying overhead, which seemed to be very dangerous, but in fact, they could rely on the gap in the rock to open outward, not only could they hide the hard rock with a thickness of several meters, but they could barely see the situation in the desert canyon, the left-hand direction could see the troops attacking from the desert on the west side in the distance, and the right-hand direction was a few hundred meters away from the entrance of the mine. Song Xiaoshuang knelt on one leg beside the gap stone, put down the general-purpose machine gun he was carrying in his hand, and didn't care that the hem of his robe had been worn and torn into strips of cloth during the crawling advance of dozens of meters, and he didn't look back and spoke quickly.
After Song Xiaoshuang finished speaking, he saw that Fatuna did not react, and then he suddenly realized, the automatic grenade launcher in Fatuna's hand did not have a tripod, she had been holding the grenade launcher and pulling the trigger to shoot the grenade, although there was no visual problem with the rock gap, but to hit the grenade in the middle of the specific target, there must be a higher support point to support, so that the shooting angle can be adjusted, but it is difficult to find a good support point for a while due to the terrain, if Fatuna stands up and pulls the trigger with the grenade launcher, It is very dangerous to be exposed to the sights of an anti-aircraft machine gun!
"Don't be stunned, the grenade launcher is on my shoulder, I'll be a tripod! Isabel uses a telescope to keep an eye on the rebels' firing points in the desert canyon, and reports the distance and bearing coordinates at any time! ”
Hearing Song Xiaoshuang say this, Fatuna, who was also kneeling on one leg, hesitated slightly, put the barrel at the front end of the automatic grenade launcher drum on Song Xiaoshuang's shoulder, opened the lens protection cover of the optical sight, and brought her eyes to the scope to see that the shooting angle was not enough, and then she felt that the front end of the grenade launcher was a little tilted downward, and then she noticed that Song Xiaoshuang was pinching the lower half of the round barrel with the palm of one hand.
Fatuna moved a little and found that the operation was quite flexible, Song Xiaoshuang cooperated well, the counterweight balance of this grenade launcher was adjusted by Song Xiaoshuang with her shoulders and one hand, she only needed to pull the trigger.
Fatuna took a deep breath, adjusted her speed to an angle, and aimed her optical scope at an anti-aircraft machine gun position near the mine a few hundred meters away, pulling the trigger and firing three anti-personnel grenades in a row.
Three anti-personnel grenades exploded around the anti-aircraft machine gun position without accident, and the sand and dust and smoke mixed with the bodies of the bombed armed bandits and the sandbags that built the breastwork wall flew in all directions, and the anti-aircraft machine gun was directly dumbfounded, and even the barrel of the anti-aircraft machine gun was blown away!
Isabel, who was observing with a telescope, noticed that a high-altitude position had been removed, and some little excitement said in Chinese and shouted: "Quick, Fatuna, quickly get rid of another high-altitude position and knock out the anti-aircraft machine gun, the troops commanded by the major are finished with an infantry chariot, the major is commanding the troops to spread out the formation, he will definitely let the tribal warriors led by Farhad and Eliham charge, can't let them lose too much!" ”
Before Isabel could finish speaking, another high-altitude position in the telescope lens had been blown away by several anti-personnel grenades fired by Fatuna.
Isabel was about to remind Fatuna to turn the muzzle to support Farhad and the others, two armed bandits with scarves running out of the mine, one of them was obviously carrying a Soviet-style rocket launcher on his shoulder, and an armor-piercing dual-purpose rocket-booster grenade had been inserted into the launcher, Isabel watched as the armed bandits pulled the trigger and fired rockets at the top of the rock wall, and then saw the two armed bandits being blown over by Fatuna's grenades.
The rocket flew crookedly over the heads of the three people, and the explosion on the rocky ground of the ridge behind did not hurt anyone, Isabel's nose fanned rapidly, and she obviously smelled a bad smell of burnt skin and flesh, and turned her head to look at it, only to find that Song Xiaoshuang's palm was pinching the lower half of the barrel of the grenade launcher, and after the grenade launcher fired the grenade, the gun barrel had been heated to the heat by the flame gas of the propellant, and the skin and flesh of Song Xiaoshuang's hand were like being burned by a soldering iron!
Isabel's expression changed, and she roared in a low voice: "Song Xiaoshuang, you crazy person, you are not human!" ”
