Chapter 362: Operation SEAL (3)

The flames and smoke from a few rockets gradually dissipated, and only five or six of the two dozen or so houses made of large stones in the base collapsed, and the solid stones withstood the shock wave of shrapnel and explosions.

Firesnakes erupted from the windows, doors, and gaps in the walls of all the rooms in the base, shooting wildly at the mountainsides and below. Rockets also continued to fly out of the houses, and the sound of explosions continued to explode from the mountainsides and hillsides on both sides.

Lieutenant Colonel Cole and Richard on the top of the hill fired brightly at the base on the hillside to prevent the enemy from breaking out of the room. Richard had asked Lieutenant Colonel Grant, the adjutant, to remove all the light machine guns and rockets from the house, and he knelt beside a large rock at the top of the hill and fired rockets at the stone house below.

Grant still had a cigar in his mouth, holding a light machine gun and firing bullets at the "da-da" below, and the yellow bullet casings were scattered around him.

Lieutenant Colonel Cole, the captain, looked down at the rest of his three strike groups and saw that they were all heavily resisting bullets and pinned down behind concealment.

At this time, Cole's headset also heard the shouts of each group: "Captain, our attack down the hill was blocked, two people were wounded, one was seriously injured, request for support", "One member of the eastern attack group was seriously injured by a rocket, request for support".

Only the western group of sniper Jones did not suffer any casualties due to the large stones covered in the terrain. Jones was lying in the gap between the two stones, lying behind Barrett's heavy sniper rifle, unhurriedly shooting at the flames sprayed in the stone house, and from time to time he replaced the powerful M8 armor-piercing incendiary bombs, blasting the gravel of the stone cracks that were being fired on the outer wall of the stone house, and the walls were constantly burning with flames.

The bullet was borrowed from the ammunition of the M2HB Browning heavy machine gun, with a silver tip and a 0.97 gram IM11 incendiary agent. It is possible to penetrate a 20 mm thick steel plate at 100 meters, a 16 mm thick steel plate at 500 meters, and an 8 mm thick steel plate at 1200 meters.

However, this powerful bullet only blew the rubble of the hard stone wall of the stone house tens of centimeters thick and flew sideways, and did not directly penetrate the stone wall, only blowing the outer wall of the stone house uneven and pitted.

Jones looked at the ammunition he was carrying, shook his head, replaced it with normal ammunition and continued to shoot at the doors and windows and shooting holes of the stone house. He knew it would be a waste to use such expensive bullets again.

In the blink of an eye, a sneak attack turned into a stalemate between the two sides. Cole looked helplessly at the blocked attack team, ran to Richard's side, and shouted, "Is this a terrorist?" How can there be such a strong combat effectiveness! Our attack is blocked, are we asking for backup? ”

At this moment, a terrorist carrying a rocket launcher ran out from behind the stone house, hit the top of the mountain behind, and then drilled back to the stone house.

"Danger!" Grant, who was holding the machine gun and shooting, threw down the machine gun, turned and pounced on Richard on the side, and rolled behind a large rock next to him with him; Cole and several people around him also immediately pounced on the boulder beside them. "Boom", the rockets exploded with a cloud of flames where they had just shot, and the debris and shrapnel flew everywhere, hitting the stones where Richard was hiding and "poofing" loudly.

After the explosion, several people stood up with shaking bodies, Richard wiped the dust and sweat on his face, raised his binoculars to observe the rest of the team members, gritted his teeth and said: "These terrorists must be mercenaries hired by al-Qaeda at a high price." The stones in the rooms in the base were too thick, we didn't have any heavy weapons, and we ran out of ammunition to fight any longer. Damn, call for support! ”

Hearing the old captain's order, Lieutenant Colonel Cole immediately shouted into the microphone: "Attention teams, immediately retreat two kilometers", turned back to the signal soldier and shouted: "Call for support, destroy this base!" ”

Twenty minutes later, a roar was heard in the distance, and an F-15E Strike Eagle fighter roared from the distance. In the blink of an eye, the attack plane flew at a low altitude over the sky, and the huge roar shook the mountain, and the plane swept over the mountain at a low altitude, and then circled back quickly.

Standing at the top of the hill, Richard and Cole could almost see the pilots in the plane. "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh", several flames suddenly rose in the base, and several rockets sprayed flames towards the plane in the air.

"Uhh

The entire base was in a sea of fire, and the rising flames rose dozens of meters high, and a heat wave blew Richard and the others on the top of the mountain quickly turned around. The moment the high-explosive bomb detonated, the high temperature completely melted any living creatures in the base, and there could be no living creatures in the base.

The attack plane flew back and circled over the base again, as if checking the results of the battle, followed the wing tilt, roared into the distance, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Cole and his teammates all smiled proudly as they looked at the terrorist base that had become a sea of fire. Cole walked up to Richard and said, "It's a lot of trouble, and we are working hard."

Richard glanced at him and said, "If the aircraft missiles can be dealt with, what else do you want to do?" You go down and clean up the battlefield and have a look," he said, turning around and walking down the mountain.

Cole and the rest of the team behind him were stunned for a moment, then turned and followed Richard towards the still blazing enemy base. At this point, all the SEALs headed inside the base. The next group of team members approaching from the lake carried one team member, and the team members on the east side of the mountainside carried one and supported one towards the base.

Cole ordered the paramedics to quickly meet them and examine the wounded team members. The paramedics dealt with it briefly, and the microphone reported: "A member of the team was shot in the right chest and developed pneumothorax symptoms; Another member of the team was trapped in the back by shrapnel, and both were in urgent need of surgery; Two other team members were slightly injured and called for medical assistance."

Cole frowned and ordered the communications crew to call for medical help and ammunition supplies. More than forty minutes later, a helicopter with a heavy machine gun on the side of the hatch landed in the open field of the base, unloaded all kinds of supplies they needed, pulled two seriously wounded people, and quickly flew out of the canyon.

Lieutenant Colonel Cole frowned as the helicopter flew away, and there was combat attrition at the beginning, so what would happen later? He ordered his team members to count the situation of the battle, and found that only about 20 charred corpses were left in the terrorist base of 40 or 50 people, including the bodies of some women. Apparently it was a local girl who was snatched by terrorists to vent her **.
