Chapter 90: Crossing the Line of Fire
Yu Yuanjun and others are still some distance away from the position of the front line, but this area is already an engagement area, and from time to time there are shells falling around, of course, this kind of aimless scattering is not a big threat to Yu Yuanjun and others, and before the shells land, they can almost know the approximate landing point.
"Looks like the Americans can take Sheila today!" After the vehicle advanced for about half an hour, I saw a group of American troops pulling a group of prisoners and retreating, and after seeing Yu Yuanjun and others, they immediately greeted enthusiastically, and Yu Yuanjun and others are now disguised as war correspondents, although this identity is useless on the Iraqi side.
"Hey guys, are you going to the front? Where there is still a bit of fighting, you guys pay attention to safety! "An American officer stopped as he met the car, and at the same time stuffed them with some simple things, all worthless things from the prisoners.
Americans in this era basically understand the importance of public opinion, as long as the reporter goes to the front line, basically they are enshrined with good food and drink, and the identity of the reporter of the remaining reinforcements is obtained by himself, and after leaving the barracks, he only brings his documents, but people who can go through the layers of barracks to the front line, generally few people will doubt it, and Drew still has a camera hanging on him.
"Thanks, we'd like to take a look at the back!"
"Stay safe!" After collecting a few cans and other things, get back on the road.
Crossfire, the name is very familiar, but it is exactly what Yu Yuanjun and the others are doing now, and about less than a kilometer further on, the body was found in a place.
This should have been a battlefield not long ago, and the remaining reinforcements took a general glance, and there were still some wildfires burning, and there were many corpses, scattered over a large area of the surrounding land, and at first glance there were at least hundreds of corpses.
"Without the corpses of the American army, the combat effectiveness of the Americans is not simple!" After Drew glanced at it with a telescope, he did not find any corpses dressed in US soldiers, and the team just now did not see the vehicles carrying the corpses, indicating that the US troops killed so many Iraqi soldiers with very few casualties, and perhaps even zero casualties.
"There should be casualties, there's a destroyed tank over there, but it looks like the U.S. casualties should be low!"
"Hmmm! Are the Americans already so powerful? After looking around, Drew returned to the car and had a new judgment in his heart about the combat effectiveness of the Americans, but there is not much difference between the specific combat effectiveness of the Americans and the others, and they should not fight with the Americans anyway.
"Let's go!"
The rest of the reinforcements continued to drive forward, along the highway little by little towards the destination, all along the position with the axle print, the ghost knows if the Iraqi soldiers installed some mines on the retreat road or something, if they accidentally pressed one, they would go directly to the sky, happy!
There was a thunderous sound in the sky, and the remaining reinforcements drove the car, looking up at the sky, and the sky was clear: "Thunder?" Is it going to rain later? ”
It's been a while since I came to the Middle East, and the rest of the reinforcements really haven't encountered rain, it seems to rain one night, very little, and it will end soon, and there are many deserts in the Middle East for no reason, this climate does not rain for a month or two, and it is strange that there is no drought.
"It's not the sound of thunder, it's like a dense artillery bombardment!"
After Drew listened carefully, his face immediately changed drastically, and the remaining reinforcements were also stunned for a moment, and then they also felt that something was wrong, in the sky, there was not even a single cloud, and thunder also needed thunderclouds, and it was impossible to thunder on the ground.
"Damn, Iraq is covered by artillery fire!" Yu Reinforcement stepped on the accelerator suddenly, and then slammed the steering wheel, and now he didn't care if there were any mines around, so he ran for his life first.
The dull thunder rang all the time, and although the remaining reinforcements did not know how many artillery pieces were used by the Iraqis, they listened to this movement not a thousand but eight hundred.
"I hope it's the artillery of the Americans!"
"Where did the Americans get so much artillery, the Americans are all bombers, tanks, there is not much artillery to follow, did you see a tractor in the barracks? Can self-propelled artillery have such a big movement? ”
Yu Yuanjun controlled the steering wheel as he spoke, and the bumpy road made Yu Yuanjun's hand holding the steering wheel tremble a little, the road here was too bad.
Originally, it was a barren grassland with potholes and undulating potholes, as well as various large craters that were blown out, and it was necessary to avoid the corpses on the road, and the accelerator that was originally stepped on to the end was also released, and now it has shifted direction, but there is no way, if you go along the road, it will definitely be covered by the artillery fire of the Iraqis, and the road will always be the first target of artillery bombardment.
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
"Whew...... (Brain-filled PUBG bombing zone sound)"
The dull thunder was gone, and turned into a sharp sound of breaking through the air, which was the sound of cannonballs about to fall around, and the remaining reinforcements didn't have time to tell where the shells had landed, and the only thing they had to do now was to speed up and flee from here.
I don't know how big the area is that Iraq bombed this time, and I don't know how much ammunition the Iraqis will knock out, but now the remaining reinforcements only hope for one thing, the American fighters and bombers can appear quickly and blow up the Iraqi artillery positions, and it is better not to leave even a single artillery piece behind.
"Boom!"
The first shell to land was behind Yu Yuanjun and others, the explosion was very loud, and through the rearview mirror, you could see a large burst of fire suddenly emerging behind you, and all kinds of sand and soil were blown away and scattered in mid-air.
More and more shells fell from the sky, bringing up beautiful and roaring earth flowers on this land.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom, boom! ……”
The current Yu reinforcements and Drew are shuttlers in the center of an explosion, behind them, in front of them, and on the sides There are shells falling everywhere, far and near, and various types of shells fall around and bring up all kinds of dust and other things, and the visibility of the Yu reinforcements is very low for a while.
Although the vehicle is not a bulletproof car, it is also of military quality, and the quality of the vehicle is not bad, at least there are all kinds of broken stones and other things, which are constantly smashed on the car, crackling, but not penetrating the car glass.
"Damn, the Iraqis are crazy, crazy, they don't know that such a massive artillery cover will definitely be bombed by the Americans? Aren't they too old? Have you thrown away all your belongings? ”
"What did you say?"
At the center of the explosion, there were explosions everywhere, and Drew couldn't hear what the remaining reinforcements were saying, so he could only ask loudly with his head down.
"I said, Iraqis are crazy, they are all crazy, don't you want these weapons? What are these bastards thinking? The Americans can wipe out all their artillery with a wave of bombardment! ”
"What did you say?"
"Grass!"
The remaining reinforcements didn't have time to say anything else, and struck the steering wheel to the right, dodging a large crater left by the explosion in front of them, and continued to move forward.
"Don't blow it up early, don't blow it up late, blow it up now!" Yu Reinforcements continued to control the vehicle as he spoke, but the dust brought up after the explosion was too much to see the road in front of him clearly, and Yu Reinforcement could only use a little vision to ensure that the vehicle would not overturn and continue to move forward under artillery fire.
"It can't go on like this, maybe a shell will fall and we will return to heaven!" The remaining reinforcements looked around, there was no cover for themselves to hide, and the artillery fire of this scale was covered, even if there was a cover, the effect was not very large, and no house could withstand this kind of intensive bombardment.
"God forbid!"
Drew prayed as he looked up at his surroundings, it was not a question of finding the way or not going the other way around, and it was a great blessing to be able to survive this fire.
"Drew, no, I need to find a place to park, I feel that the artillery fire is getting denser and denser, and we will be finished if we go any further!"
"What did you say?"
"Shet!"
Yu Yuanjun didn't care if Drew could hear him now, and saw a gun crater not far in front of him, so he stepped on the brakes without saying a word, and then the vehicle slowly drove into the pit.
A crater with a diameter of more than five meters can only be created by artillery with a caliber of more than 100 millimeters, and a small-caliber cannon cannot blow up this effect.
After the vehicle entered the pit, it immediately felt the surrounding air waves, and the body was not shaking, but the remaining reinforcements were not happy in time, and a huge explosion suddenly came from the rear, and then a large pile of sand and soil directly buried the vehicle in the pit behind the vehicle.
Just now, a cannonball fell from the position of the remaining reinforcement vehicle, and if the vehicle was a few seconds late, it might have turned into a ball of torches, and in addition, there was also a huge explosion in front of it, and the frequency of the cannonball falling became faster.
The Iraqi soldiers were supposed to have conducted a simple test fire and then began to fire rapidly, without any regard for the life of the barrels of the artillery, as long as more shells were fired out, which could kill some Americans or the multinational forces.
The remaining reinforcements blocked their ears and lay under the steering wheel: "Don't the Iraqis don't conduct reconnaissance before they open fire?" There's a UN force in this area! "Along the way, Yu Reinforcement and the others really didn't see any troops, except for the one who was escorting the prisoners they met before.
"Hell knows, maybe they have too many shells and want to waste a little!" Taking advantage of the gap in the explosion, Drew heard some voices more or less, and answered the questions of the remaining reinforcements loudly.
"Neurotic!"
After the rest of the reinforcements finished speaking, their heads were lowered.
