After the battlefield operation of the torture wind was completed, the other three ranger squads also arrived at the intersection one after another. Four 13-man Ranger squads, plus a team of Ranger under the command of Captain Shrek, add up to a total of over 70 troops.

At this time, nearly a disappearance has passed since the time of the crash!

Somalis armed with various AK series weapons, grenades, and RPG rocket launchers poured into the crash site like a tidal wave.

Turn this place into a killing battlefield!

In order to complete the task of establishing a defensive line, the four ranger squads that dared to come to support had to set up firing points at the four corners of the crossroads against thousands of Somalis to defend against the Aideed militia that was constantly converging from all directions.

The Ranger command team led by Shrek is responsible for supporting one of the four squads.

Whichever side is under pressure, rush to the other side to support!

The fighting was very fierce, with people being wounded and killed almost all the time, including members of the Ranger unit and more often Somalis who carried out the "man-to-man warfare".

Five squads can reduce casualties by a lot if they rely on houses to defend.

However, in order to provide the most basic and safe landing conditions for the landing and rescue of the Super 68 Black Hawk helicopter, the way of fighting had to be fiercely attacked, and the "battle front" was forcibly expanded outward.

The Somalis are not good at marksmanship and tactics, but they can win because of the large number of people, and they have a natural advantage over the terrain.

In this hour, at the cost of three or four hundred casualties, the four squads of the rangers can be described as suffering heavy casualties!

Not to mention other squads, in the first squad of the Ranger where Xingfeng was located, 10 people, including Xingfeng, were injured, and two of them were directly hit by bullets and basically lost the ability to fight.

However, although the price paid by the Ranger troops was great, the results were satisfactory, barely meeting the conditions for landing helicopters.

The Somalis were driven out of the intersection and suppressed to almost 200 meters away!

For the Black Hawk and Bird helicopters hovering at the intersection, the second-hand AK series weapons in the hands of Somalis are not a threat, and the RPG bazooka hidden in them is the biggest threat to them.

It is good to say that the muzzle velocity of the bazooka is only more than 100 meters per second, and as long as it can be detected in time, the helicopter can completely avoid it with an emergency maneuver.

But once it lands on the ground, it's a live target, and it's a dead target!

And to pull the distance to more than 100 meters, although there is still the possibility of being hit by a bazooka, but the danger factor is much smaller.

Approaching, the Somalis shoot at the head, really "super perverted"!

"Romeo 64, this is Juliet 64, the ground defense line has been established, repeat, the ground defense line has been established, Over!" Shrek called.

The establishment of the defensive line is an increasing value, and the farther away from the intersection, the larger the area that needs to be defended, and the more dispersed the personnel firepower will be.

In the case of limited manpower, more than 100 meters has been the limit of the Ranger troops!

"64 Roger, Over!"

Colonel Harrell received Shrek's report, and immediately transferred the communication to contact Mattis, instructing: "C-2, this is Romeo 64, the ground defense line has been established, please send a helicopter to support immediately, Over!" ”

"C-2 Roger, Over!"

Colonel Mattheis finished replying, and was about to assign Super 68 to land and rescue the wounded, when the accident happened again.

The fire covered the Humvee convoy of 13 groups leaving the city and returning to continue the fighting, and the Super 64 Black Hawk helicopter, on its way to provide fire support to the Humvee, was simultaneously attacked by three rockets, although it reacted quickly.

Typical accurate head does not go to make up the number!

I have to say that in fact, the Somali militia here is still very smart.

Of course, the three launches fired together will inevitably end up empty, but the good thing is that one of the RPGs did not hit the helicopter, but accidentally passed through the middle of the tail propeller.

As a result, the rapidly rotating propeller slurry hit the rocket, and although the RPG did not explode, the attachment point of the rotor malfunctioned, and after struggling for dozens of seconds.

With a puff of black smoke coming out, the propeller fell off the tail of the plane and flew out with a whoosh.

Without a tail to keep it balanced, the Super 64 Black Hawk helicopter turned into a large spinning top spinning in the air, whistling towards the ground.

"Call C-2, this is Super 64, I was shot, the tail propeller fell off, No. 64 is going to crash, repeat, No. 64 is going to crash."

In the command center of the base, General Gelson looked at the screen of the helicopter broadcasting, his expression was extremely solemn, and the frequency of chewing gum in his mouth suddenly increased.

He is well aware that things are getting more and more complicated!

And with the appearance of this accident, the battle situation, which had seen a clear appearance because of the establishment of the defense line, fell into the fog of the unknown again.

"Super 64 is about to touch the ground, ask for ......"

Looking at the projection screen, Super 64 disappeared into the dust blown up by the propeller on the ground, and General Gareson slammed his fists on the table.

After venting the frustration in his heart, he ordered: "Inform C-2 that all Black Hawk helicopters stop rescue, we can't have any more losses, order Shrek's convoy to go back immediately, and tell them to rush to Durant's crash site to support, all rescued, all personnel must be rescued, and no one can be left behind." ”

With General Gareson's order, Super 68, which was about to land on the ground, returned to the sky.

At the cost of one person killed and more than eight wounded, the 13th Humvee convoy group, which had just broken through from the "Mogadishu" city to the base on the road, had to organize its men again to go into battle and go back to the "meat grinder city" together with the Delta anti-terrorist force commanded by Hutt.

And this hour has passed, and the Humvee convoy commanded by Lieutenant Colonel McNay is still "ghosting the wall" in the city, and the casualties have lost more than 5 floors, and the entire convoy is full of painful moans that the soldiers can hardly suppress.

But now that the two Black Hawk helicopters have been shot down, General Gelsen can no longer afford such losses, and the rescue burden of the entire battlefield is all on the Humvee convoy.

Lieutenant Colonel McNay, who had received the order, had no choice but to withstand the ubiquitous firepower and listen to the useless air commands, and continue to advance through the city, hoping to find a way through.

Soon, a few minutes passed, and the time came to 4:45!

The entire Ranger unit continued to hold the defensive line, waiting for the Humvee convoy to come to their aid, and the wounded increased again in this intervening time, and almost every soldier was more or less wounded.

The situation has become more and more unsearchable!
