"Headquarters? Which command? "For Yu Qian's words, Barney was very surprised, Zhao Wu was not in Obiya at this time, so the place where Yu Qian was located was the base headquarters, why did he send an attack aircraft group, he also seemed to know?
"Which other headquarters can it be, of course, the Supreme Command. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Sure enough, Yu Qian's answer shocked Barney, as a senior colonel of the defense regiment, he knew very well that the so-called Supreme Command referred to the command team where Lin Hai was, "Except for the Supreme Deputy Command, who can send a group of attack aircraft that can arrive within five minutes." ”
"So, the generals already know what's going on here?" Barney asked apprehensively.
"If the satellite discovers the situation, the generals will naturally know about the situation as well." Yu Qian replied, "Instead of thinking about the generals' thoughts now, you should deal with the battle in front of you right away." If you don't want to be investigated when you come back, then behave well in front of the generals! ”
"Yes, sir, I'm doing it!"
While the two were talking, the armored convoy had returned to the vicinity of the highway under the cover of the infantry, and the infantry here was still fighting and rescuing fires, and there were constantly wounded or corpses being carried out by them from the wreckage of the still burning vehicles, and some soldiers were standing on both sides of the road to keep watch.
Seeing Major Barney returning with his men, Captain Said, who had blood-stained gauze on his head, immediately greeted him.
Seeing that Said was still alive, but only a few injuries, Major Barney breathed a sigh of relief, now this kind of mess-like situation, he alone will definitely not be able to deal with it, one more person with good ability can share some of the pressure.
"How's it going?" After stopping the car, Major Barney jumped out of the car, looked at the scene of the explosion, and asked Said.
"Eleven trucks and all the food on them were lost, and the drivers were all dead." Said gasped and replied, "There are no losses in the armored vehicles, but the infantry who were guarding the convoy before were killed by more than twenty people, and even more wounded. There was no double-edged helicopter, and the air waves and exhaust fumes caused by the explosion affected the mechanical operation of the aircraft, but fortunately, both pilots were still alive. ”
"We need to hold on here for another five minutes, and then there will be a swarm of attack planes coming to support." Major Barney said, "What do you think?" ”
"How's that?" Captain Said was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Major Barney asked if he could hold out for five minutes, so he replied, "There should be no problem, five minutes on the battlefield have passed in a blink of an eye, and those attackers have basically been wiped out by your assault just now, and they can't regroup in five minutes." ”
"Not necessarily, man." Major Barney said, "When I was communicating with the base just now, I received information that the attackers were no less powerful than us, and that what we killed just now was only a small part of them, and that the other side also had tanks, although it was an earthen tank, but it was difficult for us to deal with it without heavy firepower." ”
"My guys are carrying some anti-tank bazookas, which should be able to deal with it." Captain Said replied, "Although in order to lighten the burden before the departure, and this time it was only a task to escort food, most of the infantry squads did not carry anti-armor weapons. But you know, my company often has to fight tough battles, so they still brought some bazookas. ”
"Well, this time it was my mistake, I thought it was an easy task, and there were so many of us, so I didn't remind everyone to prepare before leaving." Major Barney said, "Fortunately, your people are always prepared, so these five minutes are even if you fought for everyone." ”
"No, actually, I didn't do it, I ...... just now," Saeed said nervously, remembering his actions when he went to rescue the crash team.
"Alright, old man, we can survive this time, I'm afraid it's just because you hesitated." Patting the worried Said, Barney said, "I'll take all the responsibilities, you just need to fight the battle now." ”
Nodding, Said turned to leave, beckoning his company to prepare to deploy positions to cover all the men and horses for the five minutes.
Major Barney, on the other hand, returned to the command vehicle and contacted the three double-bladed helicopters to inquire about the situation.
"Sir, what the hell! The top armor of those earthen tanks is thicker than the top armor of regular tanks! Our guns can't penetrate those guys at all! Before Major Barney could ask about the situation, he was surprised by the helicopter team's answer, "With such thick top armor, God knows how those guys got inside the tank?" ”
"Have you tried attacking the rear of the opponent's turret?" Barney reminded, "Maybe their frontal, flank, and top armor is enough to withstand your guns, but they can't defend from all directions, right?" If that's the case, won't it become a piece of iron? ”
"Unfortunately, sir, we have to retreat." Major Barney's answer made Major Barney feel even more uncomfortable, "We have a lot of ammunition, we have run out of missiles and rockets, and now we have run out of shells, and the enemy has vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft guns, we can't continue to attack those things!" ”
"Hell, how could this be!" Major Barney shouted, "Our air support is just a few minutes away, and you told me you were going to run first!" ”
"I'm sorry, sir." The commander of the helicopter team, Pelican Pilot No. 1, replied, "We ran out of ammunition, and even if we stayed, it wouldn't work!" Do you want us to lower the helicopter and use it as cover, and we will act as infantry? ”
"Even if you run out of ammunition, as long as you are still in the skies above us, the enemy will delay the offensive because of the fear of air strikes, so as to buy more buffer time for the ground troops! We're already redeploying our positions, but as you know, this is a plain area, and there's nothing to make good use of, so we have to rely on the road and dig trenches around to strengthen our defenses, but we're short on time! ”
"Understood, we'll stay a little longer, and if the enemy finds out that we don't have ammo, we'll leave immediately."
"That's when you leave!"
Putting down the walkie-talkie, Major Barney was already sweating profusely, although in Somalia, this is the normal reaction of people, but this time he is not because of the heat, but because of the already bad situation, the only helicopter team that can provide better fire support has completely exhausted the ammunition!
