Chapter 482: Fierce Battle
The government army has bazookas on its side, and the rebels will naturally not do without. It's just that the four armored vehicles on the side of the government army are relatively invincible in comparison, and with the defensive power of the armored vehicles, the firepower on the opposite side is simply impenetrable.
The Engassa EE-9 "Cascaville" wheeled reconnaissance vehicle in Brazil, which was bought by the Chadian military from Zafiq before the Villa War.
Although only one remains, the vehicle is equipped with a 90 mm gun with a 7.62 mm side-by-side machine gun mounted on the left side, plus a 12.7 mm M2HB machine gun turret that can be aimed and fired inside the vehicle. It can be said that the firepower is very strong.
It's just that in the battle march just now, the one that was sent to the other road was attacked by the enemy and was directly blown up, which made Joseph almost die of heartache.
Now that the battle has reached the most critical juncture, even if you are reluctant in your heart, such a powerful weapon must no longer be hidden.
But don't worry too much about it when it comes to fighting.
After all, relatively speaking, the firepower on their side is superior, and the other side must get up if they want to launch rockets, and the light and heavy machine guns on the armored vehicles at that time, coupled with the strong firepower of the government army, I am afraid that before they can launch rockets, they will be drowned by bullets.
"The armored car is in front, the infantry is in the back, give it to me!" Joseph gave the order to the troops that were already ready.
Lined up and headed by four armored vehicles, the government forces began their first offensive.
Lin Dong and Sophie have been hiding to the side, they will definitely not participate in the battle of this kind of strong attack, but choose to snipe cover from a distance.
This way of fighting will allow the two of them to play a bigger role.
The front of the barracks was heavily machine-gun emplacements by the rebels, most of which were improvised positions that had just been set up urgently, with only a few stacked defensive sandbags. There were not many real machine-gun fortresses.
These machine-gun positions completely blocked the two road crossings in front of the barracks, making it impossible for government infantry to get close to them.
Lin Dong's tactics on their side are to hit the force and attack one way, and the other way is mainly to contain, as long as they can't support their companions.
Use armored vehicles to seal the machine-gun bunkers on the opposite side, and the dense fire makes it impossible for those rebels to leave the bunkers and use bazookas, so that they can move forward with confidence. As long as they reach the right distance, then the government army can use bazookas to directly destroy the opponent's fortress, which is the tactic agreed upon by Lin Dong and Joseph.
Four armored vehicles fired suppressive fire at the frontal machine-gun positions, and then suddenly a soldier appeared from behind one of the armored vehicles.
I saw that the soldier was carrying an RPG on his shoulder, and quickly fired a rocket at a pillbox, and then he didn't bother to check whether he had hit the target, and immediately retracted back behind the armored car.
Bang bang bang!
The bullets sparked on the armored car's defensive armor, but the soldier had already been hiding, and the bullets couldn't hit at all.
The rocket that was fired made a long "chirp" sound, and then hit its head on the outer wall of the bunker and exploded.
The sky-high flames, along with the scattered cement and stones that had been blown up, fell to the ground with a thud.
The rebels in the nearby positions were directly affected by the pond fish, either burned by the explosion or smashed by these scattered stones.
Suddenly, there was a lot of commotion in the rebel positions.
The RPG-7 has a timed self-destruct time set of 4.5 seconds, and its maximum range can reach kilometers. However, its armor-piercing ability is based on the distance of the target and produces an explosion, if it is really a thousand meters, I am afraid that it has no armor-piercing ability at all.
When facing rolled homogeneous armor penetration, as long as the distance does not exceed 500 meters, then the penetration of RPG is probably between 300 and 400 mm.
Although the opponent's machine gun fortress is made of reinforced concrete, its defense is still a little weak, and obviously they didn't expect to be hit at the gate silently.
Seeing the tactics in effect, Joseph suddenly became even more excited, and kept urging his troops to come forward, he wanted to end the battle in the shortest possible time.
Rumble!
Naturally, the 90-mm gun on the EE-9 armored reconnaissance vehicle would not be idle, and after adjusting the angle, it directly opened fire and once again took out a fortress.
However, as the distance approached, the 90 mm gun with an elevation range of only -8 ° ~ +15 ° naturally could no longer play a role, and finally had to put the target in the barracks.
In Joseph's words, if you can solve the rebel leaders hiding in the barracks with one shot, then you will earn it.
Naturally, the opposition did not sit idly by, and since machine guns did not work against the enemy, they could also fight back with bazookas.
It's just that a guy who just raised his upper body and was about to launch a rocket was torn in half by the machine gun on the armored car before he could react.
Such a discovery made the rebels feel hopeless!
Can only be beaten passively, but their own attacks are useless, is there anything more desperate than such a battle?
However, as the elite troops in the rebel army, there are naturally many of them who are not afraid of death.
A bazooka shooter was full of madness and fired a rocket directly into the bunker, and the government army, who had not been checked for a while, was successfully knocked out an armored car.
But this crazy behavior naturally caused very serious consequences, the scorching heat of the bazooka tail flame caused great damage in the entire cramped bunker, although the rebels inside could not die, but the severe burns and the damage caused by the impact pressure could not escape.
"Damn, suppress the other party for me, don't give them another chance to fire rockets!" Joseph shouted with a hideous face.
What they had just lost was not only an armored vehicle, but also the infantry who were following behind, and in an instant they were swept away by the opponent's machine guns, and at least forty or fifty people were killed and wounded. The rest retreated in embarrassment, or hid behind other armored vehicles.
Lin Dong, who was sniping at the machine gunners in the position, frowned when he saw this, he clearly remembered that his mission still had battle damage restrictions, if he came a few more times, it was estimated that he would be a little hung if he wanted to get all the mission rewards.
"Sophie, keep an eye on those machine gun forts and don't give them a chance to fire rockets!" Lin Dong contacted Sophie while switching targets.
"Okay." Sophie's faint voice came from the communicator.
Besides, on the rebels' side, when they saw that they had finally caused damage to the other party, they suddenly became excited, and they finally had a chance to fight back.
Although this method is fundamentally a method of losing 1,000 enemies and 800 self-inflicted, as long as they can see hope, there will always be people who are not afraid of death who will do such crazy things.
