Chapter 351: Close Combat
For infantry, including special forces, the last thing they want to face is mortars, especially large-caliber mortars.
Quite simply, the mortar is a weapon designed to deal with infantry hiding in bunkers, and its main value is to deal with infantry.
In addition, the power of large-caliber mortars is extremely amazing.
In terms of anti-personnel infantry, the power of the 120-mm artillery gun is comparable to that of the 155-mm howitzer, and far exceeds that of the 105-mm howitzer.
The infantry, in turn, simply did not have the means to counter mortars.
The effective range of the general 82-mm artillery run is more than 4000 meters, while the 120-mm mortar has 6000 meters, and the effective range of infantry weapons is difficult to exceed 2000 meters, not to mention that the mortar is a curved gun, which can be deployed behind the cover to avoid being hit by direct fire.
Under mortar fire, the infantry could only count on not being hit, and the enemy ran out of shells as soon as possible.
After the shelling began, Xie Chuyue and others had to abandon the sniper position on the roof, and Wang Dong later ordered the operatives on the top floor to be withdrawn.
Fortunately, only a few operatives were injured by shrapnel.
In addition, the enemy's shelling was not very violent, at most only a few 120-mm guns ran away, and the damage to the main structure of the terminal was extremely limited.
With two floors of slabs shading, the problem is not very big.
After the start of the shelling, the enemy's ground forces also began to advance.
Because of the previous lesson, the enemy's armored vehicles stopped after passing through the airport gate and opened fire on the terminal from a distance of more than a thousand meters.
For a heavy machine gun, this distance is not too far.
Under the cover of several armored vehicles, the enemy continued to advance towards the terminal.
Because of the constant shelling, the operatives guarding the terminal did not return fire effectively, and the sporadic fire did not pose much of a threat to the enemy.
This time, the enemy smoothly advanced to the avenue outside the terminal.
Just, that's the end of it.
There is a strip of about 30 meters wide between the avenue and the terminal, and the vehicles that were blown up are all concentrated on the side of the square.
That is, from the avenue to the terminal, there is about forty meters of empty space.
Because the roof and the top floor were threatened by artillery fire, the operatives were all concentrated on the lower floors, and there were hundreds of people on the first floor alone.
Obviously, it is absolutely impossible to break through the dense firepower network composed of hundreds of DF8SMGs.
This blank area, which is about forty meters wide, became the grave of the enemy.
It's just that the operatives guarding the terminal have also paid a lot of casualties.
The biggest threat was not the bullets that came from the square, but the rockets that came from the square.
In just a few minutes, more than a dozen operatives had been injured, all of them by rockets, several of them in serious condition.
As long as the enemy has enough troops, it will not be long before they can storm the terminal.
The premise is that it can withstand huge casualties.
In just a few minutes, hundreds of enemies were killed outside the terminal building, and more than a dozen officers hiding in the rear were killed by snipers such as Xie Chuyue.
The battle was too close.
Not to mention the enemy, even Wang Dong and them are difficult to make effective commands, and most of the time they rely on the personal ability of the operatives.
How to destroy the enemy and how to protect yourself depends on your ability.
This kind of close-range dogfight, in fact, has no tactics, it is to protect yourself while firing at the enemy, and do your best to destroy the enemy.
The melee lasted more than ten minutes, and at the time of the second group of troops, the enemy's armored fighting vehicles arrived.
At the gate, four wheeled armored combat vehicles lined up and immediately fired at the terminal at the same time.
The machine guns are incredibly powerful, not only can easily penetrate the exterior walls of the terminal, but can also kill people with shrapnel, making them especially suitable for dealing with enemies in buildings.
The enemy first strafed the third and second floors.
Wang Dong was on the third floor, and when the armored combat vehicle drove over, he quickly retreated from the window and hid behind a cement pillar with a diameter of more than one meter.
Fortunately, there were not many operatives left on the third floor.
In addition, the enemy had previously fired heavy machine guns on the third floor, and the operatives were all hiding behind bunkers, and none of the operatives were directly exposed to the windows.
Outside the terminal, the enemy took the opportunity to attack.
Obviously, the enemy is full of strength and does not want to continue to waste time, and intends to storm the terminal in one fell swoop.
"Woman, kill those chariots!"
"I'm going to the roof, buy me a few minutes."
"Madman, if you can't hold it, retreat, don't be cannon fodder."
"Roger."
Wang Dong got up, called a nearby operative, and walked towards the corridor.
Although it is necessary to prevent the enemy from attacking the terminal, it is more important to preserve the strength, and with the enemy's armored combat vehicles, fighting the enemy now is to die.
You know, machine guns can easily take out exposed operatives.
In addition, the enemy's second forces are rushing over.
Below, under the command of Lei Dong, the operatives guarding the first floor retreated one after another.
Outside the terminal, hundreds of enemies charged at the same time.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
As soon as Wang Dong went down to the second floor, an explosion occurred.
That's right, it was the remote-controlled bomb that Lei Dong planted in advance, and it was buried outside the terminal, mainly various directional bombs.
A violent explosion engulfed the onrushing enemy.
Sideways shrapnel harvested exposed lives.
Gunshots rang out, along with sporadic explosions.
The operatives on the first floor began a counterattack, firing at the enemy who were not killed, to be precise, and using grenades against the enemy hiding behind the wall.
"Boom-"
There was an explosion on the other side of the gate, and a fireball rose at the same time.
"Boom-"
The fireball was still rolling in the air, and the explosion occurred again.
Two armored combat vehicles were destroyed, indicating that Zhang Zilan took two anti-tank teams to the roof of the building, and it took more than ten seconds to reload the missiles.
Attacked, two more armored combat vehicles immediately started and began to retreat.
In addition, both armored combat vehicles spotted the anti-tank group on the roof and began firing at the roof.
Unfortunately, the machine guns were direct fire and could not deal with the personnel on the rooftops.
Soon, two missiles dropped from the air turned two armored combat vehicles into burning scrap metal.
When dealing with armored targets, the "Javelin" missile adopts the top-attack mode, which can destroy all the current main battle tanks, which is more than enough to deal with armored combat vehicles.
It's just that the enemy's counterattack also came immediately.
Not a combat vehicle, but a mortar.
As the explosion came, the terminal shook.
The shelling was extremely heavy and intense, with more than a dozen shells falling in a matter of seconds, and they were concentrated in the vicinity of two locations.
"Man's wife?"
"Damn, it's dangerous. We're okay, unscathed. ”
Hearing Zhang Zilan's words, Wang Dong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It was at this time that a huge fireball rose into the night sky, illuminating the main airport, and when the explosion was heard, the terminal shook violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.
