Chapter 177: Convergence
Kazim didn't care about this, he dropped the launcher after hitting the first rocket, and after trying to stabilize his center of gravity, he reached out and picked up the launcher of the other RPG-29, and the rocket he fired before flew out diagonally and quickly caught up with the tanks and armored vehicles that were driving towards the town, but instead of hitting the M2 infantry fighting vehicle he was trying to hit, he hit the rear wheel track of an M1A1 tank and exploded.
In the blink of an eye, shells and bullets were rushing towards the tunnel on the east side. Kazim, who was in the middle of it, pressed the canister over his shoulder, took a deep breath, and took aim again for the outside of the tunnel.
This time he aimed at the Americans who were still on the road and were shooting at him. In fact, he wants to fight those who go to the town, after all, his mission is to block here and create enough trouble for the other party, otherwise they will easily enter the town. But at this moment, the distance between those cars is relatively far, and more importantly, there is not much time left for me. So he left the last rocket directly to the Americans who were left behind for the time being, only to see that he shot the rocket after a simple aim, but just as the rocket flew out, several bullets hit him in succession, and after he fell into the tunnel, a shell fired by a tank exploded at the edge of the tunnel where he had just been.
In the town, Said looked at the last rocket to fly out of an M2 infantry fighting vehicle parked in the center, and the two figures next to the infantry fighting vehicle were also knocked down. After that, the east side of the tunnel was hit by shells, and no movement came out.
Said put down his binoculars and turned around and said, "Are you ready?" ”
"It's all set." The person in charge of liaison who had been beside him immediately responded.
"Good. It's time for us to play. Said he went downstairs, and downstairs there were forty or fifty people standing in a street that was not wide.
These people all stood up and looked at Said after seeing him come out. Said quickly glanced around the humanitarians, "It's our turn again." Before I get into action, I have something to tell you. That was Kazim and his squad, all of whom had just died. You all know that he came from the Republican Guard like me, and he was a real fighter, always be. Said paused at this point, then took a deep breath and said, "I don't want to disappoint him!" We can't let down the other warriors who have died heroically. I swear to Allah that I will fight to the end! ”
"Fight to the end! Fight to the end! The militants shouted and raised their weapons. Then, under the leadership of Said, he quickly moved to the south of the town.
To the south, after being attacked by a rocket that suddenly flew out and damaged a tank, the other vehicles managed to make their way to the town, and soon broke through the town's outskirts, which they had known as a non-existent defense, and joined Ensign Terry.
This made Terry, who had been trembling here, very excited, and after a long sigh of relief, he immediately approached Major Connor.
"Major." Terry obviously knew Connor, so he immediately recognized him without introduction, and immediately saluted as soon as he came to Connor, "Major, you're finally here." ”
Connor saw Terry smile wryly and then looked at the room, only to see that there were many wounded people lying on the sides of the small house, some of whom seemed to be in very bad condition. This had to be put before, and in such a situation he would definitely think that the commander was stupid enough to cause such losses. But what he had experienced after coming here tonight made him completely dismiss that thought, and he didn't even feel anything surprised or strange when he saw the wounded.
"The wounded were immediately sent to the M2 armored personnel carrier." "There were other vehicles waiting outside the town, and we were ambushed when we came, and we suffered a lot of damage. As he spoke, he glanced at Terry and said, "Did you know that they are armed with a large number of anti-tank missiles?" ”
"Anti-tank missiles?" Terry asked rhetorically as if surprised, and after thinking about it, he said, "If you're referring to RPG-7, then they have, and there are quite a few, and the other thing is that they have mortars and use them very well, and they hit them accurately." ”
"Nope. Not RPG-7, they have two more weapons, one is definitely an anti-tank missile. Haven't you ever encountered one? Connor continued.
"Nope." Terry shook his head affirmatively, "At least we didn't see anyone using anti-tank missiles after we got here." ”
Terry's denial made Connor nervous again. Because if this is what Terry said, then the other side had expected tanks and armored vehicles to come here, and those ambushes had been prepared for a long time, and no matter how they occupied, they did not use the manpower and anti-tank missiles used for ambushes, in order to be caught off guard when armored troops like themselves rushed to support. And at this moment, the other party can obviously be regarded as having achieved its goal, bringing two tank platoons and eight tanks, and now only four are intact, the other two are damaged, and the other two can be regarded as destroyed, and the loss of personnel is even more, but it has not yet had time to count. From all this, it can be concluded that here tonight is a calculating, experienced, and very difficult adversary, and starving, these people have an extremely rich collection of Russian-made weapons, which means that it is likely that a Russian armed force is secretly supporting. So I don't know what the fight will be like tonight, and I still have to be energetic.
Just then, the walkie-talkie on Terry's body rang. After a brief communication, he looked at Connor and said, "Major." My people told me that a large number of militants were coming towards us from the town. ”
"They're going to attack us?" Connor felt a burst of surprise again, because in his opinion, the other party should have arranged to organize a defense at this moment, why was he in such a hurry to attack? He didn't capture any important strategic positions, and it stands to reason that the battle between his people in the town hadn't started yet.
"How many of them are there?" Connor asked.
Terry was about to answer when a fierce burst of gunfire was heard outside, followed by an explosion after explosion. The explosion was caused by the mortars that had caused great trouble to Pence before, but this time the mortars did not hit Pence in the town again, but landed on the south side of the town.
