Two armed pickup trucks, the one carrying recoilless guns, stopped early at the street entrance, turned sideways at the government stronghold, and began to fire at the government stronghold from a distance of more than 400 meters, but this distance seemed to be a little far away for several rebel artillerymen operating recoilless guns, and several consecutive shots failed to hit the pillbox built by the government on another street corner, but blew up a lot of big holes in other buildings and roads around it.
The other twin-mounted 14.5 mm anti-aircraft machine gun with steel plates, like a turret, played better than the recoilless gun at this time, perhaps because the anti-aircraft machine gun was simpler to operate and the trajectory was straighter.
The manufacture of the bunkers in the strongholds of the government army did not have any problems such as cutting corners and tofu scum projects, and even the quality was quite high, and the 14.5 mm anti-aircraft machine guns on the armed pickup trucks only smashed the surface of the bunkers to shreds, and actually did not cause any real damage to the entire bunker.
But for the rebels, although there are some surprises about the solidity of the bunker, but it will not affect their operations, anti-aircraft machine guns can not directly penetrate the bunker to kill and injure the internal combatants, but the cement fragments splashed around the firing port, generally speaking, can still deter the government soldiers hiding inside, most of the government soldiers will even be frightened after this blow to give up the fight and run away, leaving the intact and strong chariots and pillboxes in place.
And while the anti-aircraft machine guns were firing, those rebel infantry took this opportunity to accelerate towards the government stronghold, the government stronghold was quite strong, there was no artillery support, and those government soldiers did not abandon the stronghold and escaped, if you want to capture such a place, it is not a matter of putting guns far away Among these rebel infantry, the four soldiers did not have any weapons in their hands, but their tactical vests were tied with various small yellow squares.
The four suicide attack infantry would be the main means of destroying the pillbox.
Originally, the rebel side had rarely used this method to fight, and theoretically it would have been a little longer for new heavy fire support to arrive, but for the commander of this rebel army, time was very difficult.
The news of the loss of a large number of heavy equipment and personnel has reached the ears of the leaders of a higher level, if it weren't for the fact that the whole city is now fighting, and the random change of generals on the battlefield will affect their morale, and more importantly, the background of this rebel commander is relatively hard, and there is not enough excuse to withdraw him.
But the high-ranking leaders also gave the commander a death order, and took the city he was in charge of within a limited time, and if he failed, then no one could protect him.
This order, for the rebel commander, on the contrary, made him breathe a sigh of relief. He was most afraid that the leaders would ask him to hunt down and kill those small GDI troops who did not know their whereabouts, for him who suffered heavy losses at the hands of the other party, it was even more serious than killing him, otherwise why would he fool other troops to chase and kill GDI people first?
Attacking the government stronghold was originally the task of the rebel commander, and it was imperative to take the city he was responsible for, and it was imperative to clear that stronghold, and he was given a limited amount of time, just to make the commander who wanted to reduce some of the losses of his descendants give up this idea. Without tanks and artillery, he still has enough death squads willing to die, and a few more people will still be able to complete his mission.
People are the easiest resource in the Middle East to obtain, compared to hard-to-come expensive equipment.
However, when the rebel commandos successfully approached the government stronghold less than 100 meters under the cover of anti-aircraft machine guns and recoilless guns, as well as all kinds of debris and wreckage on the street, the firing port of the pillbox once again spat out long tongues of fire, and more than a dozen metal projectiles turned several rebel soldiers who had no time to dodge into bloody men, and a daredevils with explosives on their bodies were shot, and pressed the detonator under the nerve reflex, but many other comrades-in-arms around him were involved in the explosion and sent to the sky together.
Fortunately, they didn't get together and rushed forward, and everyone kept a certain distance from each other, so that they were not directly killed in the self-explosion, but this also surprised the rebels a little.
They originally thought that the government soldiers in the bunker should lose their will to fight, even if they did not flee immediately, under the suppression of anti-aircraft machine guns and recoilless guns, and they had seen too many such scenes before, but now it seems that the government soldiers here have a higher will to fight than they imagined.
Since the government soldiers dared to continue to fight them, sending the infantry forward to attack was just sending people to die in vain, and the rebel commander would not do it even if he ignored the casualty figures of his subordinates, because there was no point in doing so, so he just let the infantry hide in the buildings around the street, exchanged fire with the government soldiers in the pillbox opposite, distracted the other side, and then sent two more armed pickup trucks over.
For the rebels, it is difficult to obtain heavy equipment such as tanks, artillery, and helicopter gunships that are regularly produced, and it is also troublesome to maintain and maintain, but vehicles such as pickup trucks are simply readily available in the entire Middle East, and both rebels and national governments will convert pickup trucks into armed vehicles for use. Therefore, there are few tanks available for this rebel unit, but there are many armed pickups, and if there is enough time, they can even modify those pickup trucks abandoned by their owners on the street on the spot, and they can replenish them immediately.
The two new pickup trucks, one of which was also a combat vehicle equipped with a 14.5 mm combined anti-aircraft machine gun, and the other was a little special: the entire front of the vehicle, both the cab and the engine compartment, was completely wrapped in heavy steel armor, and even the driver's position was left with only a small gap for observing the front. The thickness of the steel plate installed in this car seems to be at least more than 50 mm, and the two front wheels of the car are almost flattened, but the compartment behind the car is full of large and small gas canisters, which are not filled with gas, but all kinds of explosives.
A rebel self-detonating car, specially designed to create weapons for various terrorist attacks and to destroy strong defenses, which is cheap and easy to manufacture.
As soon as the self-detonating car was dispatched, it rushed down the street as fast as possible towards the government stronghold. In order to cope with the various large-caliber machine guns erected in the government stronghold, the car was equipped with too many steel plates, resulting in the excessive weight of the vehicle, even if it has a powerful diesel engine, the speed is not much faster, and the acceleration distance required is more, but the distance of 400 meters is enough for the driver to accelerate the car to the speed that the government soldiers have no time to change other weapons!
When the self-detonating car had just passed half the distance, the government forces in the stronghold opened fire, and they seemed to have recognized what the car was for, and the dense bullets hit the steel plates, splashing sparks and craters, but they could not slow down the self-detonating car!
The surrounding rebel soldiers, with the exception of those responsible for continuing to suppress the government forces, almost all of them focused their attention on the self-detonating car. They all know that once the self-detonating car successfully hits the government bunker, it can break through the blockade in one fell swoop, and if they are lucky, they can even raze the entire stronghold! As long as this stronghold of the government army is eliminated, then there will be nothing in this city to stop them from occupying the whole city!
Since the government army has discovered that the armed vehicle rushing towards them on the opposite side is a self-detonating car, it is naturally impossible to expect a few machine guns to stop the other side, and the heavy steel plate makes the easiest way to kill 7 drivers or blow up the engine is ineffective, and due to the relationship of time, the government army has not had much chance to set up a circle of mines or spikes or speed bumps on the periphery, and they still need heavy firepower to directly destroy the self-detonating car.
The two anti-tank missile launchers that had been prepared for a long time were aimed at the self-detonating car, and the government army was accustomed to the rebels sending out the self-detonating car to blow up the road at every turn when they encountered a difficult hard bone, and such weapons would naturally be prepared in advance for important strongholds with strong pillboxes.
It's just that at this time, because the rest of the rebels continue to fire at the firing port of the pillbox, and several daredevils are staring at it, plus the speed of the self-detonating car has been raised, it seems that the government soldiers hiding in the stronghold have no chance to use anti-tank missiles to destroy the self-detonating car!
Two blue dots of light crossed the street again, just like the previous destruction of the rebel anti-tank team's hiding roof, one of the two points of light submerged into the engine of the self-detonating car, and the other penetrated the steel plate covering the engine compartment of the cab and a large hole the size of a bowl, which could directly see the road surface, and the engine fragments were flying outward along this large hole; The pierced cab was in a similar situation, except that bright red blood and some human tissue flew out along the hole.
Without an engine, the self-detonating car can only continue to rush forward by inertia, but it can no longer continue to accelerate, but the result of losing the driver may be more serious. After the self-detonating car continued to rush forward for seven or eight meters, probably because the remaining part of the dead driver affected the direction of the steering wheel, the front of the car suddenly tilted, and there was no movement after hitting a shop on the side of the road!
Maybe the car blew itself up because the driver had to start it manually or for some other reason, and the car didn't explode immediately after crashing into a roadside shop, but it scared the surrounding rebel soldiers. The self-detonating car was loaded with nearly a ton of explosives, and if an explosion occurred at this location, the entire street would be affected, and the rebel infantry who were only 50 or 60 meters away from the self-detonating car would be counted as one, and all of them would have to be wiped out.
"Whew~ It's exciting." On the side of the government stronghold, some people also breathed a sigh of relief, "If this distance is bombed, I'm afraid our side will not be much better, at least those soldiers who lack protective equipment will be injured." The person who spoke opened the mask on the main torso of the power armor, took off the mechanical arm and wiped the sweat on his face, it was Liu Yan, who had been missing for a while, in order to reduce the power consumption of the power armor, they did not dare to turn on the air conditioner on the power armor, causing the inside of the armor to be as hot as a sauna.
"Sir, are you going to detonate that self-detonating car?" A clone with a long-pole gun in his hand asked.
"Let's not get busy blowing that thing up yet." Liu Yan waved his hand and said, "The engine of the self-detonating car is finished, and the rebels can't start it even if they change the driver, but it makes that car a dangerous trap, and no one dares to approach." ”
"So, for the rebels, this road is temporarily unusable?"
"That's right." Liu Yan nodded and said, "Our current task is not to expel the rebels from Kahler City, we can't do it with just our people and ammunition." So now it's time to fix the line of defense for the government forces and buy more time for reinforcements. What's more, we need to wait until the attack fleet finds the source of the rebels' communications jamming and destroys or captures the equipment. ”
