Chapter 172: Anti-Tank

The violent shock wave and vibration made the people here on the second floor turn on their backs for a while, and the phone in Megan's hand flew out of her hand, and the people who were still shooting just now were dumbfounded for a moment.

When Team 009 was in a desperate situation, the Burns and his company sent by Mosul to rescue Meghan in Al Sabad were still trapped in the small town of Shahad, south of Al Sabad. After the fierce counterattack of the opponent, Pence lost a lot of people, but as he estimated, the militants here did not continue to play with their lives after they stabilized, but instead put on a defensive posture after the attack found that there was no advantage to take advantage of. This allowed Pence's heart to be hanging back a little, and it also gave the rest of his men a respite. It was only after making sure that his estimate was correct, and that the armed men had no plan or ability to eat him, and he did not continue to organize an attack. Because the second group of reinforcements to Al-Sabad is about to arrive, this team is much stronger than themselves, they have tanks, they have armored vehicles, they have enough men, and most importantly, their first task is to free themselves from here first, and then they will join forces to go to Al-Sabad.

So Pence followed suit after the opponent put on the defensive, and just wanted to wait for the team to arrive before acting together. But what he didn't expect was that on the south side of Shahad Town, on both sides of the road leading directly to Shahad Town, that is, about two or three hundred meters away from the east and west sides of the road, there were two groups of militants active.

The activities of these people are very hidden, and it is difficult to detect their activities even if someone walks by on the road at the moment. This is not because it is night, in fact, the bright moon shining down in the sky tonight, coupled with the lack of vegetation on the ground, the reflection is relatively strong, but the ground is very easy to see, especially those things that move. However, these people were not active on the ground, but in a trench-like tunnel dug in advance. These tunnels are not extensive, nor are they very deep, and the deepest part is only one person high. The direction is the same as the road to the small town of Shahad, which runs north-south, except that there is an east-west pit that leads to this place further away from the road. In other words, the real war department is a north-south tunnel on the east and west sides of the road.

The tunnel is about 200 meters long, and some cover has been made to hide it above the tunnel. That is, a piece of wood wider than the tunnel was used to cover the top of the tunnel, and then some floating soil was covered on it. At the moment in the pit there are not only militants, but also what they carry.

The people who entered here were not only carrying rifles, in fact not everyone of them carried guns. It's not that they don't have enough weapons, it's that what they carry is more important and will be more effective in the rest of the battle.

I saw that these people quickly took their places in the tunnel, and immediately several people gathered together and began to assemble the things they had brought in. They were skillful and apparently specially trained, and after about three to five minutes, a launcher with a triangular mount and a scope was installed.

"Are you all ready?" Saeed, who is in a three-story building on the southwest side of the small town of Shahad, asked over the walkie-talkie while looking at the road on the south side.

"Ready. As soon as they arrive, we can do it immediately. Someone responded.

Said nodded, put down the binoculars, and said, "I'll repeat one more side, and wait until the bomb we planted explodes and the first team of the ambush on the east side of the road will do it." The RPG-29 was used to attack their M2 armored vehicles, while the Cornet anti-tank missiles given to us by the Russians were used to attack their M1A1 tanks. Remember! Be sure to attack the side or rear of the M1A1, and the RPG-29 be sure to aim at those armored vehicles for me. Do you understand? ”

"A team understands." After getting a response, Said said: "The second team should not be in a hurry. Wait until the target is attacked, they turn to the east and attack, and then you can do it. Remember, you must hold your breath, and I think you are the ones who really messed them up and hit hard. They may change formation after being attacked, with the armoured vehicles leaning to the west and dropping their infantry before assisting the tanks in the attack on the east. This is the best time for you to do it, and I can say that how long we can hold out here tonight, and how many Yankees we can take out, depends largely on whether your attack is successful or not. So be sure to calm me down, remember yes. ”

"The second team understands!" Just as the second team understood, another person with a walkie-talkie ran to Said's side and said, "They're coming." ”

When Saeed heard this, he immediately said, "Inform them." With that, he picked up the telescope again and looked to the south side. I saw that a string of moving black shadows quickly appeared on the main road on the south side, and they came here at a fairly fast speed. Said didn't look much but turned to look at the tunnels on both sides of the road, and saw that the two sides of the road were very calm and there was nothing at the moment, even if he knew that there was an ambush there, he couldn't see any flaws.

The mixed force of armored vehicles and tanks quickly came within range of the ambush personnel. Of course, there were people in the convoy who were on guard, first of all, the barrels of the tanks, except for the first one, which was facing the front, and the rest of the car was facing the left and the other to the right.

The team did not move, but watched quietly through the binoculars, and even though they could clearly feel the vibration from the tank pressing against the road in front of them, they did not move.

"Steady, steady. They're about to get to the bombing point. The observer said as he reached out his right hand, "Ready." Be prepared. ”

Hearing him say this, the people next to him immediately passed the words one after another, and immediately each of them clenched or hugged the things in their hands. "It's going to blow up, 3, 2, 1!" As she spoke, the man covered his ears with his hands.

As soon as the countdown was over, a loud bang came from the road. The violent shaking made the people in the tunnel feel as if there had been a violent earthquake, not only the feet were shaking strongly, but the walls on both sides of the tunnel were also shaking violently, and it felt as if they were about to collapse at any time.

However, after the explosion subsided, the team still did not act immediately, but waited for the order to do it. I saw that the person in charge of observing and giving orders just now looked at the road with a telescope again, and saw that the convoy of Americans, led by a tank, had lost control and drove diagonally off the road.
