Chapter 66
Chen Chaoguang's dissatisfaction with the Americans was also due to the fact that the information about the convoy was almost blank, and he did not know who else was in the convoy, how many people accompanied it, and what kind of weapons and equipment they had. This is the way the Americans have always done, when they create a series of problems that they can't solve, they will force others to take over, and they don't even say hello beforehand. However, Chen Chaoguang never expected anything from the Americans, and he did not even want to have anything to do with the Americans.
For Chen Chaoguang, seven people on the left side of the road and five people on the right side of the road are the best choice.
He wanted to be able to pocket the convoy, with mountains on the left side of the road and plains on the right, and of course he was willing to drive them into the open field to facilitate pursuit. In order to press the enemy in the direction they wanted, the left flank detachment had to approach at full speed, and the possibility of encountering the enemy was greater, and their firepower was slightly stronger. They played the role of hammers, while the right flank detachment was slightly slower and acted as an anvil, and two combined strikes could smash the opponent in the middle.
Ideally, two detachments would be able to attack simultaneously in two directions perpendicular to each other.
Chen Chaoguang walked in front of the formation on the left flank with an AK74, and next to him more than ten meters away were his companions with RPK light machine guns, and the formation was the best choice at this time, because there was no need to worry about the staggered terrain that would 'mess up' everyone's order.
The terrain here is barely flat, full of large rocks that can accommodate adults to hide, and there are many small stones on the ground, it is impossible to advance covertly under such circumstances, only less than a hundred meters away, and the experienced Chen Chaoguang himself has already made a lot of noise, he has to order the right flank to move at a slower pace, and at the same time order the left flank troops to move at a faster speed, at least close to the point where the rocket can cover the advance.
Suddenly, the sound of AK rifles being fired on the left side of the road was heard, and the muzzle of the guns was faintly visible in the night, followed by an unfamiliar sound of machine gun shots, and the two sides had already encountered each other in the wilderness. However, it was clear that the firepower of his side was obviously stronger, and in a short time, the unfamiliar sound of machine gun 'firing' was drowned out by the sound of AK rifle 'firing'. In the hands of experienced 'shooters', the AK74 rifle can relatively accurately 'shoot' at targets 400 meters away, and the left wing detachment carries a PKM light machine gun, which has more fierce fire and a longer 'firing' range, so Chen Chaoguang believes that the resistance encountered by the left wing is insignificant, and the opponent will soon retreat or retreat to the fire axis of the right wing detachment under the firepower, and even be eliminated before that. He ordered his detachment to move on, ready at any moment to ambush the enemy who appeared in front of him.
But after only two minutes, Chen Chaoguang could tell by hearing that the detachment on the left did not take a step forward.
He radioed to the captain of the left flank detachment, and the left flank captain told him that judging from the current situation, only two weapons were fighting against his side, but the 'precision' of one of the rifles was indeed a great threat of 'shooting', so the speed of the advance was not fast. They have an absolute advantage in firepower, so as long as the pressure is constantly applied, the opponent will collapse. Since there is no purpose of completely annihilating the other side, there is no need to storm in this situation in order to create unnecessary casualties.
Very smart, this captain made the right decision.
Chen Chaoguang understood the situation of the battle on the left after a little thought. It seems that the opponent's machine guns are only to cover the rifle 'shooter', which means that they have almost no threat on that side, could it be that the main forces of the opponent are all on their side? This alerted him to order the whole team to stop and tell the rocket shooters to quickly approach the convoy on the left flank and destroy the trucks as fast as they could. He had RPK 'shooters' approach the road and set up machine guns to prevent the enemy on this side from splitting their forces across the road to support and flank the left flank.
He used his binoculars to observe the battlefield, the left side of the road was very lively, and the tracer bullets fired by the PKM machine gun swept through the air like a whip, which was the 'shooter' tracking the opponent's machine gun while guiding the target for others. The left-wing detachment had an SVD with night vision equipment, but it was clear that it had not yet found its target. The combat literacy of the enemy is high.
The RPK machine gun that monitored the road also began to 'shoot', which meant that someone was indeed going to cross the road to support as Chen Chaoguang expected, and he turned the telescope in the direction of the tracer bullet, and soon found that there was a person who was looking back and forth between the stones to find cover, but the RPK 'shooter' of the "Hunter" had locked on his area and covered the road with continuous point 'shots', trapping the person in the 'chaotic' rocks.
Chen Chaoguang pulled down the night vision device on his head, half-knelt on the ground and aimed his rifle at the man.
He can kill this person at any time, but since the other party still has the power hidden in the dark, then he is not in a hurry to *** his own reality. For them, there is time, and the helicopter units of the Americans are coming this way.
Hiding among the 'chaotic' stones is Sun Guo.
Sun Guo is a soldier. Over the years in Afghanistan, he has also participated in some armed operations, but today's fighting is completely different from what he has encountered, and he can't even see the other side's figure, and he is suppressed by the other side's firepower. Bullets kept flying past him and above his head, hitting the stones beside him, and for a moment Sun Guo had a feeling as if these seemingly hard stones would also be pierced by the rain of bullets at any time.
He huddled in a pile of rocks, loaded a grenade into the grenade shooter on his rifle, and fired back in the direction of the machine-gun 'fire', according to his calculations. After the grenade exploded, the sound of the machine gun paused for a moment. Sun Guo guessed that it was the dust from the grenade that blocked the enemy's view, and quickly changed a hiding place, he began to calm down, pulled a backpack with a GP-25 grenade behind him to his 'chest', and waited for the machine gun to 'shoot' again.
The dust from the grenade explosion also obscured Romen's view, so he had to abandon the scope on his M-14 rifle to find a target and continue to use the telescope. He was very worried when the gunfire on the other side of the road first rang out, but he soon realized that although the gunfire was dense, it was very rhythmic, which showed that the enemy was not in a hurry to attack, and with the skills of ACE and Ma Xibei, he could deal with it for the time being. He thinks that maybe Sun Guo can cross the road to support ACE, but the facts show that the pressure on this side is no less than that on the other.
Romen's first thought was to get back in the car and leave, but he soon realized that it didn't make sense. Not to mention whether the enemy has a higher-speed means of 'communication', that is, in which direction can they retreat when they get into the car? In a desolate place like Afghanistan, it will not be easy but not impossible for the Americans to track down a truck, and the Americans who have been tricked now must have stepped up their search efforts, and even if there is no one in front of them, it will be difficult for them to reach the border before dawn at their current speed.
"'Hummingbird', we are under a lot of pressure and need support." ACE'S VOICE CAME OVER THE RADIO, AND HIS VOICE SOUNDED A LITTLE ANGRY. "We're going to be done at any moment."
Ro'men took a deep breath.
"As much as you can, I haven't found any sign of the enemy on my side."
"Then you just wait to collect our bodies." ACE'S VOICE WAS INAUDIBLE AS ANGER OR EXCITEMENT. "You can't beat that 'pretty RPK'? Sun Guo couldn't help much, but something was better than nothing. Or we'll meet you in the past. ”
Rommon did not answer. Of course, he could have knocked out the 'strong' RPK, but then he didn't have a chance to 'shoot' again: the opposite side remained calm just to wait for them. Now he can't think about crossing the road, they have actually been divided, and the pressure must be very high, otherwise he wouldn't have such an idiotic idea.
Sun Guo's grenade blind 'shooting' still had some effect. The flying dust acts as a smoke grenade and is able to cover his movements, as long as he does not run onto the road, the enemy cannot directly target him.
Chen Chaoguang frowned. This kind of random 'shooting' is in some ways more worrying than 'precise' shooting, because you don't know where his next grenade is going to hit, and now any movement can be detected by the enemy first. At this time, a "hunter" came over and volunteered to solve the problem. Chen Chaoguang suddenly felt a little ashamed, since he followed the "boss", he had long forgotten about volunteering, but this soldier was different, he still thought that he was fighting for his ideals.
Chen Chaoguang didn't speak, but just pinched the soldier's shoulder and signaled him to be careful.
Seeing this soldier flexibly jump into the 'chaotic' stone, Chen Chaoguang reminded everyone, including the RPK 'shooter', to give him fire cover, and to destroy the enemy's fire with all his strength when he found it. Chen Chaoguang had already realized that the number of enemies was smaller than he had imagined, so he seemed to be stumbling and unable to support each other, which immediately made him excited. By this time the rocket team reported that they had advanced two hundred meters along the road, closely following the left flank detachment.
Luo 'Men' did not give up his attention to the road because of the current tension, so he also noticed the enemy approaching along the road, but he had no way now, and at this distance he could only accurately hit the target in a lying position, which would make him unable to see the enemy. These two enemies were under the cover of the enemy's full firepower, and it was clear that they were important.
They're here to deal with the convoy.
At this time, you can't think too much about it. Luo 'Men' told Sun Guo to be ready at any time, and when the 'Ting' RPK was dumb fired, he rushed across the road at full speed to support ACE, and then he told ACE that when he got Sun Guo's support, he immediately approached the road and prepared to destroy the group that was lurking and advancing.
"There's no turning back for us on the side of the road, 'Hummingbird'. It's a bad idea, and I don't see the group at all from my location. "ACE objected." But you can go and try to deal with this group, and now only you are free. ”
"Don't worry, they haven't eliminated us because they don't want casualties, so we're in a disadvantageous position. We're going to 'force' them to 'mess up'. Luo 'Gate' calmly explained to the ACE. They haven't made much progress so far, so we still have a little bit of time. ”
"Please, think of a way!" ACE yelled over the radio. "I've knocked out two magazines, and now this is the last one!" The situation is similar for the soldier ants! ”
Luo 'Men' suddenly saw the enemy who was advancing in the 'chaos' stone. He was already very close to the place where Sun Guo was hiding, and when Luo 'Men' saw him, he was pulling out a grenade. Without time to think about it, Ro'men got up from behind the rocks where he was hiding and aimed his rifle at the enemy. He needs a few seconds to 'shoot' at a moving enemy, and those seconds are also enough for the enemy to spot him and 'shoot' at him, so it's dangerous, but at this time, courage is more important than anything else.
Chen Chaoguang, who was preoccupied, had already seen it almost as soon as the enemy on the opposite side emerged. Holding his breath and turning the muzzle quickly, he pulled the trigger as the rifle crosshair slashed at his target's feet, and a string of bullets flew out. He had a pretty good grasp of the AK74 rifle's 'sex' ability, and the timing of the 'shot' was just right, and in the night vision device he even thought that the string of bullets had hit the target. However, the target's motionless aiming posture made him realize that his point 'shot' still didn't hit the target.
It was close, but it didn't hit.
Immediately following the sound of his gunfire, a denser stream of bullets flew towards the target.
Luo 'Gate' was not distracted to surprise the accuracy of the enemy's 'shot'. The bullet almost grazed against his body, but he remained unmoved, and pulled the trigger the moment he saw the enemy raise his arm to throw a grenade in the scope. He didn't see the enemy being hit, and in fact he couldn't see either, but the feeling told him that the shot didn't miss. After Ro'men retracted the stone, this time all the bullets were hailed in his direction.
Although they didn't hit a single hit, this was already their last strength. The enemy had no secrets to speak of, so Chen Chaoguang immediately ordered the team members to speed up and press all of them. Gunfire on both sides of the road suddenly intensified.
Ro' told Ace to continue the retreat, but Ace told him that both he and Ma Beixi had been overwhelmed by enemy fire, and that during this time, the enemy had taken up an advantageous position, and their only way to retreat was an uncovered road.
"If you can run, run away, leave us alone." ACE SEEMED TO BE SMILING. "But this time, you're playing on your own, man, I almost thought you could do anything."
"As long as you do your best, we can do anything." Luo 'Men' replied in between 'shooting' blows, his voice still calm. "Believe me, you can't give up until the last moment."
"That's true, 'Hummingbird,' and now we're left to hold on." ACE replied aloud. "Aren't you going to come up with your backup plan now?"
