Chapter 282: Ambush

Victory in air combat boosts the morale of the ground forces, and in this era, with air superiority you win half the battle.

The commander in charge of the battle here, Raphael. Lieutenant General Carroll, however, was not very happy. Unlike the soldiers, as a commander, he was able to tell more information.

The World Factory, which was very angry about the actions of the French, would never just watch the French directly take action to reverse the situation.

Your Excellency is now very worried that the enemy troops on the opposite side of the road will come up with a large number of advanced weapons. After all, the Foreign Legion, which only relied on airlift supplies, was not well supplied. Moreover, the air superiority on which he relied did not play a full role under logistical constraints.

The French did not have the airlift capabilities of the American army. Their logistical supplies are running to the limit.

The heavy artillery on the other side was just too boring. The range is long, the power is great, and the important thing is that there are more of them!

Especially the kind of 63 type 107mm 12-barrel rocket launcher, that is really a dozen and a big piece. No defensive position could survive that terrifying barrage of fire.

Lieutenant General Carroll planned a powerful air raid targeting the most threatening artillery units in the opposing army. The main thing is those horrible rocket artillery.

Through satellite monitoring, Lieutenant General Carroll has mastered the location of these rocket launchers. Now it's time for the sword to strike in the air.

In a hidden jungle dozens of kilometers south of Yaoundé. A group of soldiers in multi-camouflage uniforms are nervously debugging a somewhat strange piece of equipment.

This piece of equipment is not big, which is the size of a jeep. Loaded on top of a heavy-duty truck, the bottom is round, and several long antenna-like things stick out diagonally, all pale black, and it is really impossible to see what it is used for.

This group of soldiers are all cyborg fighters, and their external identity is a special unit directly under President Nzuba. This thing they operate is called a omnidirectional shielding device. It is one of the few black technologies left by Gao Yang before going to Hong Kong.

Although Gao Yang himself did not participate in this war, it did not mean that he could not help his subordinates. This shield is an instrument that takes nearly 20,000 energy points to thaw from the origin, and is capable of shielding any existing detection signals on Earth.

At this moment, the coverage area of this shielding device is only a distance of five kilometers in the vicinity. Just within these five kilometers there is a whole mixed air defense battalion deployed! Less than 10 kilometers southeast of this position is the preset position of hundreds of rocket artillery.

This is a huge trap.

President Nzouba, who has suffered a lot at the hands of the French Air Force in recent days, is determined to teach the French a profound lesson. After quietly asking Gao Yang, he used the secret weapon in his hand.

First, the rocket artillery that the French were extremely afraid of was exposed to the satellite, and then the advanced anti-aircraft weapons that had just been obtained from Zhao Chengze were placed nearby. The next step is to turn on the shielding device so that all monitoring methods, including satellites, do not see this trap. So that the French Air Force can safely swagger to attack the rocket artillery position.

In the face of the French who acted unscrupulously, the most dissatisfied person was not President Nzuba, but Zhao Chengze. Because the French broke the rules. Since the French broke the rules first, Zhao Cheng was also unrelenting.

Zhao Chengze, who received instructions from his boss, immediately handed over a batch of advanced weapons to President Nzuba through secret channels.

Among these weapons are advanced anti-aircraft weapons. President Nzuba rejected Cho Sung's offer to send operatives in the name of mercenaries. Mr. President said that his subordinates could use it.

Zhao Cheng, who didn't know that there were biochemical warriors in Lu Dao, persuaded him to no avail, so he could only go to Gao Yang to dredge. It's just that Gao Yang refuses to discuss anything related to this war.

Zhao Cheng, who was angry, could only scold the two stupid X's in his heart. Wasted such a good weapon.

Anyway, the trap has been laid and now it is waiting for the French to bite the hook.

The French really came. After detailed aerial intelligence reconnaissance, the French confirmed that there was no danger near the target point and immediately dispatched their attack aircraft group.

There was also a small incident before the French Air Force bit the bait.

A reconnaissance unit of the French Foreign Legion somehow managed to sneak up on the air defense position. Fortunately, they were spotted by unmanned reconnaissance aircraft in the sky. A patrol of all cyborg soldiers immediately rushed to the target area to clear the field.

Lieutenant Dan Qiu is the commander of a reconnaissance unit directly under the regimental headquarters of the Second Parachute Regiment of the Foreign Legion. He was ordered to lead his troops to a predetermined area for reconnaissance.

After Lieutenant General Carroll ordered the Air Force to attack the rocket artillery position, Lieutenant Dan Jo and his troops, as the closest unit to the target point, were ordered to conduct reconnaissance and ground guidance in the area.

In the midst of the dense jungle, this unit of nineteen soldiers was moving forward with grumbling difficulties.

"Sir. I feel like my little brother is going to be overwhelmed by these damn bushes. When will we be able to reach our destination? Liamina, an infantry sergeant from Algeria, shook his beard and complained.

"Big Bird, your little brother has lost all functions except excretion, even if it can't be used, it doesn't matter, because you can't use it!" Corporal Dorrentel from Colombia threw a sugar cube into his mouth. Said vaguely.

"Hahaha." The surrounding comrades-in-arms erupted in a burst of ambiguous laughter.

"Dear Corporal Dorrental, when I get back to the barracks to rest, I'll go to you to prove if my little brother has any other use!" Liamina glared at Dorrentel fiercely and shouted angrily.

"Alright, Sergeant Liamina." A cold face. Lieutenant Danqiu, who was brandishing a sharp machete in his hand to open the way, glanced at him and whispered, "The Legion forbids same-sex love, and I don't want to report it for this reason and ask the Legion not to pay you a salary." Do you understand? ”

"Hahaha." There was another big laugh with various meanings.

Liamina, who was carrying a communications device, stared. Standing sideways to the side of the line, he shouted "I just want to prove it"

Before he could finish his words, his neck was suddenly exploded, and the blood splattered several meters away!

"Huh!" All the soldiers immediately went into combat mode and found a place of concealment in the shortest possible time. No one went to save Lyamina, everyone saw where he was shot and was dead.

"Shoot. Shoot! Lieutenant Danqiu, who threw himself into the bushes, shouted.

If the enemy is not found, he can only use fire deterrence to force people out first. All were well-trained professional soldiers, and the soldiers of the Foreign Legion immediately began fire reconnaissance.

There were no second attacks, no reports of hitting targets, nothing was happening in the surrounding dense jungle.

"It's a big problem." After Lieutenant Danqiu finished firing a magazine, he turned over and hid behind a large tree and said solemnly to his deputy.

"They have snipers, and the first ones to hit are the communications soldiers. And so calm, this is to leave us all behind. His deputy, Ensign Akning, said as he put on his steel helmet.

"Contact your superiors immediately with the backup system, we need support! Fast! Lieutenant Danqiu ordered to his subordinates.

A scout huddles in a hidden spot. Start quickly debugging your own communications equipment. Before he could get his gear ready, a rocket hit his hiding place with a long tail of flames.

The roar of a huge explosion was mixed with the roar of Lieutenant Danqiu: "Nine o'clock! "More than a dozen guns spewed tongues of fire in the direction of nine o'clock in the front. In particular, the machine-gun fire of the fire support hand, the long muzzle fireworks pulled out a line of fire almost a meter long.

A violent rain of bullets rustled leaves, branches, shrubs, etc. In the distance, the frightened chirping of fleeing wild animals could be heard.

In response to this force was a dozen lines of accurate fire that suddenly appeared on the right. Several legionnaires were knocked out. Even if they were hiding behind tree trunks, they were hit by these pinpoint shots in the bushes.

This time it was the fire support man who was set on fire. Tall and strong, Corporal Federo from Brazil had at least a dozen more bullet holes on his body.

The bulletproof suit on his body helped, and in the midst of severe pain, the dying Corporal Federo turned his gun and fired wildly at the dark jungle on the right side of the line. Corporal Federo let out a wild roar of unknown meaning with his mouth wide open.

"Retreat. Fall back! Lieutenant Dan Jou pulled out his grenade and threw it at the right side of the group, screaming loudly as he flew away.

This is a trap, and if you continue to fight, you can only wait for all of them to die. Only by retreating can there be a glimmer of life.

The still alive legionnaires began to calmly cover each other's retreat, and the grenades and smoke grenades on their bodies were thrown out one after another, interfering with the enemy's vision.

"Boom!" A dull gunshot reached Lieutenant Danqiu's ears. A few meters in front of him, Ensign Akning's head exploded like a watermelon that had been hit hard by a bat, spraying white and red all over the ground. A few more drops were splashed on Lieutenant Danqiu's body.

"Heavy sniper rifles?" Lieutenant Danqiu's pupils tightened. The heart shrank hard! This is too bad to meet the elite troops. This is not a quality that those indigenous armies can have, could it be that the army of the Shilu Realm Factory is here?

Lieutenant Danqiu, who didn't have time to think too much, could only take advantage of the cover of the terrain to run for his life. Now we can only get out of the city first. Nothing else matters.

Even in the midst of the escape, the well-trained army did not collapse. After a simple exchange of gestures, the surviving legionnaires suddenly dispersed, fleeing separately from the way they came from and to the left.

Excellent preparation, supplies and rigorous training gave these soldiers who were carrying dozens of kilograms of equipment enough physical strength to flee for their lives in this complex jungle with the help of the cover of the terrain.

The sound of gunfire behind him gradually faded. Lieutenant Dan Jou took the time to observe, and there were now only four companions left near him.

"Bastard!" As a good officer, Lieutenant Dan Qiu quickly understood. What does it mean that their own troops went to reconnoiter enemy rocket artillery positions and encountered an ambush from elite units before reaching the target positions?

Positions that satellites can see, but ground reconnaissance can't see them! It's a trap! (To be continued......)
