Chapter 67
Alternate plan.
Luo 'Men' smiled bitterly in his heart.
This task came in such a hurry, how could there be time for anyone to make an emergency plan, and it was the above that made a mistake, they didn't have an emergency plan in the first place. Even if there is one, it is difficult to say that it will come in handy, which is why the Thirteenth Office is allowed to 'intervene'. Now, at least one thing ACE was luckier than him, and that was that ACE never had to think about things outside of these tasks.
Luo 'Men' ordered Sun Guo to cross the road no matter what, and send the bullet bag of the Mk48 machine gun he was carrying to ACE. This order would most likely have killed Sun Guo, but without machine-gun fire for protection, everyone would have died. Fortunately, Sun Guo worked hard to carry out his orders regardless of whether he understood or not, and finally after Luo 'Men' suppressed the 'Ting' RPK with continuous 'shooting', Sun Guo crawled across the road with a rolling belt. He carried two bags of a hundred rounds of ammunition for the ACE, which would have kept them going for a little longer.
Soon Luo 'Men' heard the explosion of a GP-25 grenade. This will make the enemy even more worried, Sun Guo's combat quality is definitely not comparable to the people of Unit 128, but he has his own set of methods, which can reduce the pressure on ACE. In his busy schedule, Luo continued to try to make a satellite call, but no one answered. If no one answers, he doesn't have much choice now, either retreat the way he came, or destroy the other party. The first idea is obviously unrealistic, and the second is just as difficult, but there is a need to try.
That is, they retreated further in the direction of the road, and the enemy tried to squeeze them together, then they scattered the enemy. Fighting the enemy head-to-head is not their forte, but when it comes to sports, they are certainly more physical and stamina than the enemy.
"So what's next?" ACE'S TONE WAS A LITTLE SOOTHED. "Shall we flank them?"
"If we can hold out until then, rendezvous behind the enemy." Luo 'Men' felt that his 'legs' and feet were much heavier than usual, which made him suddenly think that if there was still a chance, he would immediately go to the training camp to re-exercise his quality. "The enemy certainly didn't think we'd do this, and we might be able to figure it out in their rear."
"What about the convoy? I believe these people are not here for us. ACE reminded him.
The opposite side is definitely not the US army, because the US army will not use infantry alone to attack the fortification; Of course, the other side is not a local armed force, if it is a local armed force, as long as one or two people die, they should slip away. They will not be Russians even more. In this way, their identities are intriguing. There are no fixed tactics, there are no obvious features, on the opposite side is a special forces.
"If they're here for supplies, then the trouble is on their side." Ro'men smiled. "One thing is for sure, even if they get the truck, they won't be able to drive away."
"But my bombs weren't enough to destroy the supplies on the car." ACE was still a little worried. "Have you thought about this?"
"Yes, I thought about it, I even thought about what kind of wife you will have in the future. Are you satisfied with this answer? Ro'mon replied mockingly. Am I a god? Can I predict the future? If I were you, don't think so much about it first, do what is in front of you first, and then think about the next things. ”
"'Bastard'."
ACE cursed hatefully and cut off the radio.
Luo 'Men' put on his satellite phone and retreated in his direction.
The opponent was weak, but Chen Chaoguang couldn't kill him with one blow, which allowed him to calm down. The battle is like this, the difference between victory and defeat is only a moment, and if he is in a hurry, then his numerical advantage will soon be wiped out by the opponent's 'fine' and accurate 'shot'. Now there was only one enemy on his side, but this one was able to skillfully use his rifle, always keep Chen Chaoguang and his men within less than two hundred meters, and also cover the other man across the road, and it took composure to deal with such an enemy, although he himself had been annoyed by the stubbornness of the enemy.
In night battles, if it is not possible to get close to the enemy, then the number of people does not make much sense.
He called the RPK 'shooter' to follow him, occupied the commanding heights along the road so that the enemy could not get out of his sight, and then let the others chase down as fast as possible. As long as the enemy tries to fight back, he will fiercely suppress the enemy with machine guns. The direction in which the enemy fled was a little surprising to him, but if the enemy wanted to escape, he would go, and he only wanted the convoy.
The left flank detachment reported that the enemy was fleeing in the other direction, which alerted Chen Chaoguang.
It seemed as if the enemy was about to flee to the edge of the 'fire' range. If we don't look at the comparison of the numbers of the two sides, it seems that they want to carry out a counter-encirclement of themselves. Four people are going to surround fourteen people, what is the enemy's mind thinking? However, this allowed the rocket shooters to approach the convoy at full speed, and they accurately destroyed two vehicles from a distance of 200 meters without interference. The flames rose into the sky, lighting up the night sky, and in Chen Chaoguang's position, you could even see the silhouettes of the 'shooters', kneeling in the 'shooting' position, with their hands on their knees, looking very satisfied with their 'shooting' skills.
"If we knew it would be so easy, we might as well grab the car so we could drive where we're going."
Attracted by the light of the car's explosion, the RPK 'shooter' beside him muttered.
Chen Chaoguang glanced at this RPK 'shooter' and did not speak.
This RPK 'shooter' is just a fighter, and he can't see that if he is only hit by a rocket, the car will not explode so strongly, and the other party has already planted bombs on the car to be safe: if they can't keep the car, they will definitely not let anyone else get the car. However, Chen Chaoguang's purpose was to make it impossible to move this batch of materials, so why did the enemy also do this? Obviously, Chen Chaoguang could not move this batch of materials.
Chen Chaoguang faintly felt that it was inappropriate, but he couldn't say what was wrong.
He ordered his men to stop the pursuit and immediately approach him, their mission was complete, and there was no need to fight the enemy. He had planned to stop the convoy and leave the place, but now he wanted to stay and monitor the shipment.
The flames of the convoy were still dancing in the wind.
Suddenly, the sound of wings spinning sounded in the air, and I don't know when a helicopter had already flown over their heads under the cover of the night wind, Chen Chaoguang raised the telescope in his hand and was surprised to find a Russian Mi-24 helicopter gunship hovering in the air. The helicopter was throwing flares underneath itself.
Unable to distinguish the identity of the helicopter, Chen Chaoguang immediately ordered everyone to hide on the spot, but the helicopter did not attack the ground, but after circling, it suddenly flew in the direction of an enemy's retreat. Chen Chaoguang asked the PKM 'shooter' to monitor the direction in which the helicopter flew away, and nervously thought about countermeasures.
After discovering the Mi-24 helicopter, Luo 'Men' threw out an SDU-5E signal light, and soon the pilot discovered the location of the signal light, the helicopter flew over and stopped on the ground, and the 'door' of the weapon pilot in front of him opened, and Luo 'Men' ran over against the sand and gravel flying on the ground, threw his rifle and backpack into the cabin, turned around and jumped into the weapon pilot's cabin, and before he could tie it all up, the plane taxied against the ground.
This is a short-distance take-off method to make up for the lack of engine power, using lift to lift the tail at a certain angle to get a large forward flight angle, the engine can use the power that was originally used as lift as the power to move forward, the whole aircraft is balanced on the first wheel, and then increase the horsepower to run, usually tens of meters can fly, during this time, Luo 'Men' can be ready for their own flight, of course, only high-level pilots can do this, so, now this is more like a show-off.
"Very nice moves, Sasha." Luo 'Men' put on the flight helmet in the front seat. "If you had kept in touch with me, we wouldn't have been so embarrassed."
"My satellite phone is malfunctioning. Trust me, Romen, I'll keep in touch with you if I can. The hearty laughter of the "eagle" came from the intercom. "I heard you were a guest in Paris and didn't inform me?"
"Didn't you get into trouble flying into Afghanistan with the transport plane?" Romen didn't want to tell her about Paris.
"Nope." Alexandra's voice became serious. "But I didn't expect this plane to be so old, and if there was a fight, it wouldn't be of much help."
Romen inspected the control panel in front of him, and the helicopter had been meticulously repaired by the technicians and looked to be in good condition. However, Sasha was right, it was still an old aircraft, and even if it was new, it could not compare to the "Apache" in terms of air maneuverability, so it was impossible to count on it to participate in combat.
"I think you're right, Sasha." Ro' smiled. "But there's no problem with it against the infantry."
Under the guidance of Luo 'Men', the Mi-24 flew in the direction they had just encountered the enemy, and picked up ACE and the others. It soon became clear that the enemy had begun to retreat into the mountains, and that the helicopter had no other night equipment other than flares to pursue the enemy, and in fact, only the power system of the plane remained intact. However, despite the inability to distinguish specific targets, Romen still rained a large number of weapons from the plane onto the ground, and rockets and high-explosive shells turned the ground into a sea of fire.
"What are you doing here?" Sasha in the back asked him in surprise. "You're 'wasting' the ***."
"You're right, Sasha." Luo 'Men' fired the last rocket. "Since we can't fight with it, we don't need these *** anymore. This plane is going to be used for something else, we don't have time, we have to use it to get our supplies away. ”
Sasha was silent for a moment before sighing in the intercom.
"You're crazy, Ro'mon."
"Did I say I'm a normal person?" Luo 'Gate' gave a thumbs up to the back.
Sasha's doubts are obvious. The weight of that large iron box has already reached three tons, and the maximum load of the Mi-24 does not exceed two and a half tons. The Mi-24 is not designed for transportation at all, it does not have lifting equipment on the outside, and this is not the biggest problem, the biggest question is whether the fuselage structure of the Mi-24 can withstand such a large load.
Everyone had doubts, including Ro'mon himself. However, he also has his own opinion, it is still more than 300 kilometers from the border, and it is no longer possible to rely on a car, and he did not count on a car at first. Since Sasha relied on the transport plane to evade radar tracking when she flew in, the Americans couldn't imagine that they had a helicopter involved, so it bought them time again, and as for this plane, as long as it survived this time, no one cared whether it would be able to go to the sky in the future.
"That's your plan? Did you plan to do that from the beginning? ”
As they began to prepare, Ace asked Rom suspiciously.
Helicopters hovered in mid-air, monitoring movements on the ground. In addition to the Northwest Guard, they used the fire extinguisher on the plane to extinguish the flames of the truck, and began to fix the supplies with wire ropes, because there was no relevant equipment, these wire ropes would pass directly through the cabin 'door' on the plane, and fix the iron box under the belly of the aircraft.
"No, I didn't have any plans in the beginning." RO'MON GLANCED AT ACE. "However, it seems that no one else has any useful plans to offer us, so I only came to this idea after I arrived in Afghanistan, and this is the only way. I'll admit it's a bit complicated, but so far it's been smooth. ”
"But we can prepare for the worst, Ro'mon." ACE LOOKED AT HIM SOLEMNLY. "We can just blow up this batch of supplies without risking it, but you're doing it very irresponsibly, it's not your style."
"No, we have to take risks." Ro'mon also looked at ACE solemnly. "It's not a question of whether you can complete the task, it's a question of whether you can increase the political bargaining chips for An Nianrong. From now on, all our actions will be aimed at this. Venture? There is a little, but if you don't take risks, even An Nianrong herself has no future, let alone us? ”
"You're planning for that 'woman'?" The tone of ACE is a bit weird.
"I'm planning for all of us." Luo 'Gate' didn't even look at him. "This may be the last time I'll go on a mission with you, and if it goes well this time, maybe we won't have to do it again."
"Wait, you said this was your last mission?" Ace grabbed Romon's arm. "What does that mean?"
"I think you know I'm going to be my dad, that's what it means." RO'MON LOOKED AT ACE AND SMILED. "Think about it, a baby, a new life, isn't that more meaningful than anything I'm doing right now?"
