Chapter Seventy-One: The Blade Goes to the Bone (Part II)
What kind of baptism of war did these elite backbones mixed with a rabble of al-Shabaab's armed rebels go through to become so strong without systematic training?!
An idea that even Shi Shaoying himself couldn't believe suddenly came to his heart...... They can't be the Afghan guerrillas who participated in the eighties of the last century to resist the invasion of Soviet troops, right?!
In this chaos and sadness, the roar of several heavy tanks galloping together at high speed suddenly came from the direction of the small town of Argov, and even the ground under Shi Shaoying's feet was faintly trembling.
By this time, what wireless silence and what hiding had become the most joke, and the voice of Yaqin, the sniper who was in charge of the outer cover, reached the ears of everyone present through the walkie-talkie: "Be careful, there is a large group of enemy cavalry, which is approaching us!" ”
Cavalry?!
Suddenly on the battlefield to hear this branch of the army that has disappeared from the mainstream war stage of mankind for decades, Shi Shaoying's eyes widened, he took out the telescope he bought on the black market in Mogadishu, and before he could see the enemy army clearly, through the telescope, Shi Shaoying saw a large cloud of dust that could cover the sky and the sun. Just by looking at the movement speed of that piece of dust, Shi Shaoying could guess how fierce and crazy the opponent's sprint was.
There is an unknown number of cavalry hidden in the town of Argov, but it is definitely not too small!
Somalia is a country with no railways and terrible roads, and the most used and most frequent means of transport is camels. What is wrong with these armed rebels who can make an armored car with a pickup car, and a team of camel cavalry?
Tactics and weapons are never left behind, as long as they are used in the right place and at the right time, they can have unexpected effects...... It was only at this time that Shi Shaoying truly understood the incomparably profound meaning behind the above paragraph!
Whether it is the master who uses an RPG bazooka to play the "corpse explosion" trick to the peak, or this group of cavalry that was not exposed by the enemy commander until the end, it all shows a problem, the commander of the other party has seen through their hole cards, so they will plan it, and when they think they have succeeded in their cunning, and even think that they can withdraw from Somalia alive, they suddenly played the last hole card like an iron lock across the river!
Overlapping!
This tactical phrase suddenly appeared so vividly in Shi Shaoying's brain.
The commander of the other side used the helicopter as a trap at the beginning, deliberately allowing them to board the helicopter smoothly, and just when they thought that the overall situation had been settled and their spirits had relaxed, and the helicopter was taking off with the lowest maneuverability and the most lacking self-protection ability, they suddenly launched an attack.
Shi Shaoying really didn't expect that a few hours later, the other party would first judge their strategic intentions through various clues, and then use the helicopter as bait again, until they stepped into the trap, and then once again took the super master who played the bazooka as the vanguard to launch a thunderous and deadly attack, forcing their small army into a desperate situation that seemed to be lifeless in one fell swoop!
But Shi Shaoying was not discouraged, and with a strategy, he could defeat the strong with the weak, and play the enemy in a mess from beginning to end, which is a plot that only appears in novels or idiot-level TV series.
Of course, a soldier can take advantage of the fire, but the person who can dance on the tightrope until the end needs luck in addition to skill, and even more needs the incompetence of the opponent! When the combined abilities of the commanders of both sides are close in terms of experience, strategy, and on-the-spot judgment, and then use trickery and risky tactics, the probability of failure will be continuously magnified.
The camels were running at a speed of about forty kilometers, and they were in this position, about nine kilometers from the town of Argov, in other words, it would only take fourteen minutes at most for the opposing camel cavalry to rush over and launch a frontal charge with the shortest straight line between the two points. There are only a few of them, whether it is frontal resistance or fleeing while fighting, the final outcome is the total annihilation, and there will never be a second possibility!
Shi Shaoying grabbed Himar with his splitter, looking at Himar's face stained with tears and grains of sand, Shi Shaoying gritted his teeth, and the splitter slapped Himar twice in the face.
"I know that your brother died in front of you, or even in your arms, and you are very sad, but he is dead, and it is useless for you to cry and be sad again. Instead of wasting your time crying for your lost brother, think about how you can keep the remaining brother! ”
Shi Shaoying pointed to the cavalry group in the distance that was rushing towards them at a speed of forty kilometers per hour, and roared loudly: "See, if you continue to cry, in fifteen minutes, your remaining brothers will be fucking dead, and at that time, it will not be too late for you to cry!" ”
The feeling of trembling on the ground under his feet became more and more obvious, more and more intense, feeling the fierce murderous aura that came to his face when hundreds of cavalry charged together, and then looked at the other brothers, Himal's eyes suddenly raised a crazy light, and he roared wildly at the walkie-talkie on his body: "Yar, run, run behind immediately, run three hundred meters and then turn back!" The bastard who blew our brother to death was a sharpshooter who could use an RPG bazooka as a sniper rifle at close range! Your mission is to get out of the bazooka's precise shooting range, stare at him with your rifle, and let him know that if you dare to show your head, you'll kill him with one shot! You have to treat him like a sniper, you have to completely suppress him, so that he can only honestly lie on the side in the later battles. If you can't do it, sooner or later we will be blown up by him, understand?! ”
Yar's deep voice reached Himal's ears through the walkie-talkie: "Understood! ”
It can be said that Himar made the right choice!
The sharpshooter hid two hundred meters away from them, as if they could rush over and shoot their bitter enemy with their brother's blood on their hands in a single charge. But this kind of veteran who can play the feeling of a sniper rifle with an RPG bazooka, before launching a surprise attack, must have laid a trick mine around that is absolutely impossible to crack in a short period of time, and at this critical time, their lone expedition, a small army that is about to be surrounded by enemy cavalry, lacks time the most!
Using the snipers on your team who are good at long-range attacks, and suppressing the opponent's RPG rocket gunners who are good at medium and short-range attacks, has become their most effective and only effective choice now!
"Set up grenade launchers, set up machine guns, build fortifications based on the terrain in ten minutes, form echelon defensive firepower, and conduct positional defensive warfare in the form of firepower substitution!"
Shimar roared loudly: "Even if we are completely wiped out today, we will make these bastards pay tenfold, or even a hundredfold!" Let them open their eyes and see clearly, whether it is the Soviet Union or Russia, we are all polar bears, the craziest, the wildest, the most fierce and the bravest on the earth, no matter where they go, they can set off a storm, as long as they gather into a group of the strongest creatures on the earth that can run rampant!! ”
Grenade launchers and light machine guns were set up in good visibility of fire, and several mercenaries armed with individual shovels began to dig desperately, they had to race against time to prepare even the simplest cover for themselves before the enemy cavalry outflanked and charged!
"Shi Shaoying, what are you going to do...... kid"
Seeing Shi Shaoying suddenly rush down the hill and rush to the direction of the helicopter's emergency landing at a speed of 100 meters, Shimar's roar only stopped abruptly after shouting halfway.
Now that the enemy commander has laid a trap, he must have a decoy that is enough for them to take the bait!
The bait left behind by the enemy commander is Victor and the helicopter gunship that has the potential to fly again! After judging their intentions, the enemy commander still let Victor live and did not send a single soldier to the helicopter landing site, just to give Shi Shaoying and them hope.
Although the chance is slim, it is indeed the last hope of Himar and Shi Shaoying and his party!
At a distance of about a thousand meters, Shi Shaoying rushed all the way in only three minutes and ten seconds, looking at the fact that he had found that something was wrong, and he didn't even have time to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead, Viktor, who was desperately repairing with tools on the periphery of the fuselage, and the sniper who was still half-kneeling on the ground in the direction of the Algov town and still refused to fall, Shi Shaoying took a deep breath, and then spit out the hot breath mixed with the lungs, and shouted wildly: "Can it be repaired, how long will it take to take off?" ”
Seeing the blank look on Victor's face, Shi Shaoying spat on the ground fiercely, pointed to the walkie-talkie on Victor's body, and made a gesture of "turn it on immediately".
Shi Shaoying didn't know what Shimar and Victor said through the walkie-talkie, the voices of the two people were fast and urgent, in the ears of Shi Shaoying, a guy who didn't understand Russian at all, the tongue roll sound was almost connected, and half a minute later, Shimar's voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Victor said that there was a problem with the electronic circuits inside the helicopter, and he spent too much time in this regard, although the electronic and mechanical faults have been eliminated, but there is no time to remove the fuselage armor plate and the seats in the infantry cabin, With the remaining engine that was badly aged, it could not take off smoothly at all. ”
"Don't talk about this, I don't have it!" Shi Shaoying was also anxious, and he yelled at the walkie-talkie: "Just tell me, how much more time will it take for Victor to get the helicopter flying!" ”
"He said that together with your help, we will remove the bulletproof armor on the outside of the helicopter, as well as the airborne rocket launchers, and remove some unnecessary loads......" At this point, Himal's voice paused, "It will take at least twenty minutes!" ”
