Chapter 472: A Tumultuous Situation
The two mercenaries opened the compartment of the GL8 station wagon next to them, took out two AT4 anti-tank bazookas equipped with night vision devices, and carried them on their shoulders.
The AT4 anti-tank bazooka is produced by the Swedish company Seeborfoss Power, with a total length of 1016 mm and a weight of 6. 7 kg, effective range 300 meters, maximum range 500 meters, can be used in the temperature range from minus 40 degrees to minus 60 degrees.
Fires 84 mm caliber high-explosive armor-piercing shells, high-explosive dual-purpose shells, armor-piercing shells and other different types of ammunition. However, since the AT4 anti-tank rocket launcher is a single-use weapon and cannot be reloaded, all the types of ammunition used are pre-installed.
At this time, the AT4 anti-tank rocket launcher carried on the mercenary's shoulders was loaded with high-explosive armor-piercing shells.
This kind of rocket can easily turn an armored personnel carrier into a fireball in an instant within the effective range, not to mention that the target is only two small pickup trucks?
Under the cover of the fire of the other mercenaries, two mercenaries with AT4 bazookas on their shoulders locked onto the pickup truck with night vision sights, opened the two safety devices of the bazooka, and then pulled the firing pin and pressed the trigger.
The tail jet-jet of two AT4 rocket launchers sent out a tail jet-jet with extremely high temperature, and two high-explosive armor-piercing shells of 84 mm caliber flew towards the pickup truck two hundred meters away.
Since the AT4 Bazooka uses the principle of recoilless cannon firing, the two mercenary shooters do not need to worry about the impact of recoil on the accuracy of the rocket.
Two high-explosive armor-piercing rockets with a muzzle velocity of 284 meters per second accurately hit the two pickup trucks in the lead.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
On the dirt road outside the scrap yard, two dazzling fireballs rose into the sky, and two pickup trucks carrying a total of 20 "Tuqing" armed personnel were instantly reduced to ashes.
Although the two rockets only destroyed two pickup trucks, the third pickup truck did not escape the fate of being blown away by the blast of gas.
Under the impact of two waves of explosive air, the entire pickup truck was like a lonely boat in the stormy waves, which was directly rolled up two or three meters high, and then smashed down heavily.
Half of the armed men on the pickup were killed on the spot, and the remaining half were also seriously injured and no longer combat-ready.
Seeing Arnold's rapid reaction force, under the almost crushing firepower of AT4 anti-tank rockets, instantly wiped out, Luo Hao had to sigh at the gap in equipment between Arnold and Valdes' armed forces.
And this gap in equipment is something that Arnold can't make up no matter what he does!
Just when Luo Hao thought that Arnold's rapid reaction force had been dismantled, and the mercenaries on Valdes' side could end the battle in a short time, the situation on the field changed again.
Suddenly the sound of a helicopter propeller spinning was heard in the night sky, and a Mi-24 "Hind" helicopter gunship with a 12.7 mm caliber four-barrel Gatling machine gun and two 57 mm air-launched rocket launchers mounted on the crane tower appeared over the car scrap yard.
Seeing the "Hind" gunship in the sky, Tiger's eyes flashed with a hint of nostalgia.
Because this "Hind" helicopter gunship was the only thing that Arnold took with the special paratroop regiment and defected from the Tusnibia government army, which belonged to the president's army at that time.
At that time, Arnold had to let the then president buy two Mi-24 "Hind" helicopter gunships from an arms dealer that had changed hands several times.
One of them suffered an irreversible mechanical failure during a military operation during a military campaign under the suppression of the rebels, and the plane was destroyed and killed along with seven members of the special paratrooper regiment on board. And this is one of the important reasons that prompted Arnold's final rebellion.
This remaining "Hind" helicopter can be said to be Arnold's most valuable thing at the moment, and there is no one.
"Da Da Da ......"
The four-barreled Gatling gun on the crane of the "Hind" gunship began to cover the mercenaries on the ground.
During the high-altitude fire strike of the mercenaries by the Hind helicopter, the hatch behind the helicopter was opened, and the armed personnel in the helicopter began to rappel.
Luo Hao looked at the armed men who began to descend under the cover of the Gatling gun, nodded slightly and said: "Prepare with both hands in the open space, Arnold's arrangement is really rigorous!" ”
And when Tiger saw the armed personnel who had descended from the cabin of the "Hind" helicopter, the pupils of his eyes shrank suddenly, because the camouflage uniforms of these armed personnel were attached to the armbands of the special paratrooper regiment! These people are all Tiger's comrades-in-arms when he was in the special paratrooper regiment!
It should be due to the amount of ammunition, the strafing of the Gatling gun on the "Hind" gunship in the sky only lasted for more than ten seconds before stopping.
But this short period of ten seconds is absolutely hellish for the mercenaries of the "Viper" mercenary unit.
In more than ten seconds, their troops were reduced by one-third, and of the remaining two-thirds, half were wounded.
At the moment, there are only four mercenaries with combat effectiveness around Valdes!
"This situation is really ups and downs, I thought Valdes would win this time, but I didn't expect the balance of victory to tilt in Arnold again and again. It's all in time for Hollywood blockbusters! Xu Xudong pursed his lips and muttered softly.
With the presence of such aerial firepower, the outcome of the battle between Arnold and Valdes is basically certain. Maybe Valdes still has something like the AT4 rocket launcher in his hands, but Arnold, who has already suffered a loss, will never let the mercenaries have a chance to use it again.
Protected by eight members of the Special Paratrooper Regiment and the "Hind" helicopter gunship in the sky, Arnold stepped out from behind the scrapped van and slowly walked towards Valdes.
Under the watchful eye of the "Hind" helicopter gunship, Valdes and his mercenaries did not dare to make the slightest move, because once there was a slight movement, the two rocket launchers on the "Hind" helicopter would instantly turn the place where Valdes was standing instantly into a sea of fire.
Arnold, who was holding an AK-74U short assault rifle in his right hand and had a bloody bullet on his cheek, stopped five meters away from Valdes, raised his eyes to look at Valdes, and said, "Black Mamba, you didn't expect things to develop into the current situation, did you?" ”
Valdes no longer had the chic and calm he had at the beginning, and nodded with a wry smile, the current situation has indeed exceeded Valdes' own expectations.
"Do you want to kill me now and avenge your dead soldiers?" Valdes asked, looking at Arnold.
Arnold shook his finger at Valdes and replied, "No, killing you won't do me any good, and it will get me in a lot of trouble." I hate dealing with trouble. ”
"And what do you want?" Arnold's answer made Valdes couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, no one wants to die if he can live.
"It's simple, continue the trade between us!" Arnold looked at Valdes and said lightly.
"No problem!"
Hearing Arnold's request, Valdes nodded happily in agreement, "According to the list we drew up before, I will send you something, not even a bullet will be missing!" ”
"I'm not satisfied with what was on my original list now!"
Arnold first pointed to the garbage truck full of munitions behind Valdes, then held out two fingers to Valdes, and said in a deep voice: "Leave these things first, and then prepare double portions according to the original list." ”
"In addition, the AT4 anti-tank bazooka just now is very good, I like it very much, so I will prepare fifty more AT4 anti-tank bazookas, and some different types of ammunition!"
So many people under his command can't just die in vain, not to mention that he still occupies the initiative now, if he doesn't increase the weight at this time, when will he wait!? Therefore, Arnold simply raised the price of the transaction with the lion's mouth.
Hearing Arnold's request, Valdes's face became very ugly, but the person had to bow his head under the eaves, and his own life was pinched in the hands of others at this time, and it was up to Arnold to decide whether he could leave alive.
So although Valdés was very unhappy, he chose to compromise with Arnold. With a cold face, he took out the hard drive from his suit pocket, handed it to the members of the special paratrooper regiment under Arnold, and said, "I can agree to your request, and after I go back and prepare all the things you need, I will contact you to prepare for the transaction." ”
After saying that, Valdes was ready to get into the car and leave with a few mercenaries around him.
However, before Valdes could get into the car, Arnold stopped him, and he pointed to the mercenaries, pointed to Valdes, and said, "They can go, but you can't!" I'm not stupid enough to let you go back and have you bring a whole bunch of mercenaries and gunships to 'trade' with me. ”
Arnold snorted coldly and raised his chin at the two members of the special paratrooper regiment beside him. Two members of the Special Paratrooper Corps stepped forward quickly, one left and one right, to control Valdés and drive him in front of Arnold.
Arnold looked at Valdes and said in a cold tone: "You stay, let your mercenaries go back and prepare things, and then come and trade with me!" I'm sure even if you don't go back, you'll still have people under you who can call the shots, right? ”
At this time, Valdes's face was already extremely pale, "Colonel Arnold, I have agreed to your request for a trade, so don't go too far!" ”
Arnold shook his finger at Valdes and said, "You only have two choices now, accept or reject, there is no room for bargaining. I'll give you five seconds to think about it! ”
Looking at Arnold, who was already showing signs of raising a gun to shoot, Valdes nodded hurriedly in agreement, "I agree to your request!" ”
"You made a wise choice."
Arnold nodded with satisfaction, took a satellite phone from a member of the special paratrooper regiment, handed it to Valdés, and said: "Don't play tricks, don't be afraid of death when you fight, and don't fight if you are afraid of death." Am I Toby? Arnold is definitely not afraid of death, but before I die, I will definitely let you die before me! ”
