Chapter 440: Blocking the Road

When Wang Dong came in, Wang Haotian immediately displayed the image on the big screen.

In order to avoid affecting others, Wang Dong did not go to the command center, but returned to his office and asked Wang Haotian to assist Xie Chuyue and them in breaking through here.

The image was taken by a Saudi Pterodactyl-2 unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

On the beach on the south bank of the Tigris, a convoy, to be exact, ten small all-terrain vehicles were galloping, and in the rear there were several burning military vehicles.

What's going on?

Wang Dong frowned and looked at Wang Haotian.

"Those military vehicles are also from Semavo, there was a skirmish before, and our people are all fine, but we don't know the specific situation for the time being."

"All withdrew?"

"One is not less."

Wang Dong nodded slightly, and his gaze returned to the big screen.

Ten all-terrain vehicles, each carrying two operatives, a total of twenty people, one no less.

"Brother Dong, the attack aircraft has arrived."

Wang Dong didn't say anything, and Wang Haotian didn't talk nonsense.

In order to cover Xie Chuyue's retreat, Wang Dong sent two A-5PG attack planes full of bombs, under the direct command of Wang Haotian.

"How much longer?"

"Five minutes at most."

"Let the attack aircraft be on standby, and if everything goes well, don't waste bombs."

"Understood."

"What about Iron Tigers?"

"It's already in place."

Wang Dong nodded again, and then fell silent.

Last night, Iron Tiger rushed over with a small squad of operatives, who did not participate in the battle because the government forces quickly broke down.

According to Wang Dong's arrangement, the Iron Tiger operated on the south bank of the Tigris River, and Churkin went to the southeast of Semavo.

The main thing is that the situation of the rebels was not clarified at that time, and the breakout location was not determined, so it was necessary to make preparations to ensure that there was always a squad that could rush over in time.

Five minutes, and it passed quickly.

On the screen, ten all-terrain vehicles are lined up in two columns and are sprinting at full speed.

To the east, rebels at two checkpoints had moved into position.

Each outpost had a platoon of troops, at least six machine guns, and a machine gun fortress, most likely a powerful heavy machine gun.

The convoy did not slow down and continued to move at full speed.

It's just that, after being strafed by machine guns, ten all-terrain vehicles had to disperse at once.

Wang Dong looked at Wang Haotian, who just nodded.

Less than a minute after the rebels opened fire, two checkpoints were bombarded, and flames quickly engulfed the machine-gun positions placed near the checkpoints.

Only then did two attack aircraft appear on the screen.

The unmanned reconnaissance aircraft flew higher, and the two A-5PGs were ultra-low-altitude bombs, and the flight altitude was only a few hundred meters, several kilometers lower than the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

The bombs were dropped, and two A-5PGs flew away.

The bomb load of the A-5PG was not very large, because it took off before Xie Chuyue broke through, and the specific time of the breakthrough had not been determined at that time, so the two A-5PGs each carried two auxiliary fuel tanks, increasing the time in the air, and the aerial bombs carried were reduced to four.

Fortunately, four 250-kilogram aerial bombs were more than enough to destroy a checkpoint.

Covered by the air, the convoy quickly passed through the rebel lines, between two outposts to be exact, and the so-called defensive lines only existed on the map.

"Contact Iron Tiger and let them ......"

"Brother Dong!"

Wang Haotian exclaimed, and Wang Dong immediately looked back at the screen.

As soon as the explosion occurred, an all-terrain vehicle overturned on its side in the desert, and it was the lead car, and the person in the car was either Xie Chuyue or a squad leader.

Fortunately, the explosion was not very violent, it was supposed to be a shell.

After the car overturned, the two operatives quickly got up, and it seemed that it should be no big problem.

After Wang Haotian adjusted the lens of the camera, Wang Dong saw that a rebel patrol appeared about two kilometers south of the convoy, with an M1A1 main battle tank and three M2A3 infantry fighting vehicles, as well as several military vehicles, and it was the tank that fired.

The military vehicles have stopped, while the tanks and combat vehicles are still moving.

Nine more all-terrain vehicles did not stop and continued to gallop east.

At this time, under the drone.

After climbing the hill, Xie Chuyue began to assemble the sniper rifle, and the operative who followed him did not talk nonsense and took out the laser rangefinder.

It's almost two thousand meters, which is a little farther away.

It's just that Xie Chuyue didn't think about it that much.

Soon, Xie Chuyue replaced the barrel of the sniper rifle, removed the magazine adapter, and installed a magazine filled with ten long rounds.

Xie Chuyue also uses DF8SMG, but it is customized according to his requirements.

That is, only Xie Chuyue's DF8SMG can fire long bullets by changing the magazine adapter, and the others can only fire short bullets.

At the time of finalization, the 8mm countersunk bullet is divided into long bullets and short bullets, and the DF8SMG can fire two bullets with different cartridge lengths by replacing the magazine adapter, but at the time of mass production, in order to reduce the difficulty of production, the adaptive function of the bolt was canceled, so the mass production DF8SMG can only fire short bullets, and the adaptive bolt needs to be replaced to fire long bullets, and the adaptive bolt is not produced.

Of course, for the vast majority of operatives, this change has little effect.

It has long been proved in actual combat that short bullets are sufficient for all combat environments, and there is no lack of power. The problem of not having a group of firing ranges.

The uniform use of short bullets can also greatly reduce the burden of support.

It's just that for Xie Chuyue, a short bullet may not be enough.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhao Yu specially built this DF8SMG using an adaptive bolt according to his requirements, and provided a competition-grade barrel.

Theoretically, the barrel of a gun that fires a short round can also fire a long one.

It's just that in order to give full play to the range advantage of long bullets, it is necessary to use a special barrel, which is not only longer, but also has a larger winding distance.

Increasing the wrapping distance is to improve the stability of the warhead.

In fact, Zhang Zilan, Lei Dong, Tiehu and Churkin and others also use customized DF8SMG, but Xie Chuyue, Tiehu and Churkin who need to use long bullets often, and only Xie Chuyue has high requirements for accuracy and has to be equipped with a special barrel.

Iron Tiger and Churkin's DF8SMG are both machine guns and do not require much accuracy.

"Brother Chu, tank commander!"

Xie Chuyue didn't say anything, he had already seen the tank commander coming out of the turret, and the guy was trying to use the heavy machine gun mounted on the hatch.

The rate of fire of tank guns was too slow for use against all-terrain vehicles traveling at high speeds.

As for the three M2A3s, they are being deployed behind the tanks, and for the time being, machine guns have not yet been used.

In addition, the commander of the tank was likely to be the commander of the patrol, and he was gesturing at the vehicle as soon as he emerged from the turret.

Apparently, he intended to indicate targets for the combat vehicle with a heavy machine gun.

Taking a deep breath, Xie Chuyue held his breath and adjusted his aiming point a little before gently pulling the trigger. 10
