Chapter 299: Support
Alberta. Babington wore a helmet with a night vision device on it, and held a Famass automatic rifle in his hand, which was a weapon for paratroopers, the whole gun was 757 mm long, which was perfect for street fighting, and each person was equipped with 0.5 base bullets, which is about 150 rounds, and it was filled with 5 magazines!
Every time he boarded the "hippopotamus", he patted the other person on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up.
These are two TB2-117A turboshaft engines of the Isotov Design Bureau, which are fully capable of carrying the weight of 34 people.
Alberta was the last to climb into the helicopter, the hatch was not closed, he grabbed the handrail above his head, "Gentlemen, please hide your X eggs, we're going to take off, don't let it freak out!" ”
The employee who served as a guide below, half-squatting, gave a thumbs up with both hands, wore a headset and sunglasses, and threw his hands diagonally upward!
The helicopter pilot saluted, pulled up the lever, and the desert-painted hippopotamus took off in the wind.
In order to transport these 120 people, a total of five transport planes took off, as well as 6 Hind guards full of bullets, according to the needs of the battlefield, in order to reduce casualties, Tang Dao also used two Mi-26 to suspend 2 T-72 main battle tanks directly to the battlefield!
This tank is very suitable for low-level conflicts, and its anti-armor is more prominent, in a place like Mogadishu, as long as you don't concentrate on RPGs, the probability of being destroyed is still very low, and this is a logistics support force, mainly to help break through, he didn't plan to use a few people like himself to eliminate Aideed.
That's not enough money at all.
Standing in the playground, Tang Dao squinted and watched the helicopter formation leave.
God forbid.
…
"Gun grenades! Target, left, bungalow, sniper! Grant roared, leaning against the rubble and breathing heavily, covering his left leg, just now he was ordered by the sniper of the bungalow, his thigh was constantly bleeding, but fortunately it did not hit the major artery, otherwise he could only wait for death now, took out the gauze from the arm bag, tore it with his teeth, tied the gauze two inches on the injury, swallowed the saliva, this face was full of sweat, maybe mixed with cold sweat.
Hearing his command, a SEAL 6 team member took out a grenade that was a little thick, stuffed it into the launcher, and after looking at it with his head in front of him, he raised the muzzle of the gun and fired a shot at the target.
Puff puff...! Rumble!
This power is not small, so-called: "individual mortar" fired a hole in the past, the bungalow was already crumbling, now the chassis is even more unstable, directly fell apart, and the militants hiding inside were also buried.
Grant shook his hand, which was a nervous tremor to change the magazine, but he touched it, and his hand was stunned. All 5 magazines have been used up.
No bullets!
"Sir, we're out of bullets." The voices of the team members can also be heard from the headsets.
Their goal was to decapitate Aideed, as light as possible except for the necessary weapons and ammunition, most of the bullets were placed in the convoy including grenades, etc., and fortunately they were waiting for rescue around a building, otherwise they would have been flooded by the surrounding militants.
These are thousands of people visible to the naked eye!
Has God forsaken His loveliest believers?
Grant was a little sad that if he had waited for the last step, he would have had to surrender.
In the United States, the conditions for surrender were not clearly defined. The only such official rule is the Code of Conduct for Americans, and this code is for captured American soldiers — just prisoners. The following are the relevant provisions:
Article 1: I will never surrender voluntarily. If I were a commander, I would never let my men surrender if they were still able to resist;
Article 2: If I am captured I will resist in a feasible way, I will do everything I can to escape and help others escape. I do not accept parole and preferential treatment from the enemy;
… (There will be more later, so as not to say that I am water).
Of course, the four most common conditions for surrender are: first, there are no bullets, second, there is no dry food, third, communication is interrupted, and fourth, there is no way to break through.
Not all of them, like Italian soldiers, would surrender because they couldn't find a crowbar.
Grant thinks so, but if he really does, then... It's also a shame for the military.
He rolled up and down in his Adam's apple, very desperate, the support of the ground Humvee team could not be supported, and it would be very good for the other party to break through on his own, in this case, where is the hope?
Sudden Sudden Sudden Sudden ...
Suddenly, a rapid explosion like a machine gun sounded, and Grant followed the sound and saw a "big fly" swooping down, and the machine gun in its "mouth" was strafing downward!
Hind.
"Flying Chariot" or "Krokodil" (Crocodile)?
The sound just now was obviously a 12.7mm four-chamber machine gun mounted on the turret under the nose, which could shatter people alive, and there were 4 hardpoints hanging from the hind, and Grant watched a missile rush down in smoke and raze a story or two to the ground!
"Whoa!"
The seal members who were guarding inside were originally at the bottom of the valley, and it was inevitable that they would have a whimsical idea when they ran out of ammunition and food, but at this moment, a hind swooped down in a "savior" posture and hit the other party, which was very confident.
The militants below are also in a circle and are stunned, where did this helicopter come from?
But after reacting, a black commander commanded the militants to shoot down, carrying the RPG and bombing, and after the hind saw this, she turned around and ran away without hesitation, which surprised everyone.
"Do we have a hind at our base?" Grant turned to the team.
"We never use stuff stuff that's stuff!" One of the black team members righteously said, "Their weapons are so crude, how can they have them." ”
Grant frowned, "Then where did this come from?" ”
"Sir, news from the Jihai base." The communications corps followed the commander and kept him informed of the latest intelligence and news, "Base support can't arrive, but a mercenary will come to support us and help us break through." ”
There are reinforcements!
It was the only piece of good news they had heard after more than three hours of fighting.
It doesn't matter if you're a mercenary or not, as long as you can break through.
The first thing that came to Grant's mind was the Asian American, as if his company was the closest to here, and he groaned, "Roger!" ”
…
"Down, down! Hurry up! ”
The "hippopotamus" stopped in a clean area, of course, whether it was clean or not, this hind has the final say, and if it is not clean, it will be clean with a missile?
Alberta. Babington commanded the employees to disembark, and the 120 men fought in small groups towards the weak point of the encirclement, and just when he saw the departing hind returning, he cursed in a low voice.
"These damn Russians must be drunk! No, it must have been drunk! ”
Otherwise, how could he be so bold and go straight to the point?
