Chapter 883: Suppression
And although the weapons and equipment of the other side are poor, but after all, there are many people, and they are trapped in this place, and for a while, it is difficult for the fighters of the convoy to gain an advantage.
Their firepower has been reducing the strength of the local armed forces, but their situation is getting worse and worse. By the light of the fire, you can see a large number of people coming behind you, and even three pickup trucks are driving towards here from a distance.
If you see a pickup truck on the battlefield here, then it basically proves that you are going to be unlucky.
Yang Hao and Mu Xi also saw the approach of the three pickup trucks, and with the help of night vision equipment, they could see more clearly.
Both pickup trucks were all armed in the back, two M60 heavy machine guns, and a recoilless gun.
Seeing this, the two knew that this convoy was going to be unlucky. Not to mention the two heavy machine guns, just that one recoilless gun was enough to kill them.
The role of recoilless guns in the modern battlefield has become increasingly backward, the movement when it fires is too large, the rear flame is too strong, it is easy to hurt one's own people, and because of this, the concealment has become very poor. In addition, if there is no vehicle for this thing, the mobility becomes very poor, the firing interval is relatively troublesome, and when firing, the gunner is too exposed, and it is easy to be killed by concentrated fire. Most importantly, the role of recoilless guns has gradually been replaced by man-made missiles and anti-tank missiles. It is also normal to lose its due role and status and gradually decline.
But in the African theater and the war-torn areas of the Middle East, recoilless guns are still a powerful weapon of mass destruction. The division of forces here is very strict, and some of the smaller forces cannot afford to buy tanks and helicopters, but it is very simple to get a large-caliber recoilless gun. The most important thing is that if this thing is used well, attack it. Breaking defenses, destroying enemy lines, and even destroying enemy tanks also have this ability.
Of course, this has to be done accurately.
The broken truck stopped first, and the other two cars continued on their way. Spread out in front, one left and one right, and get out of the way.
Yang Hao's attention was always here, and it didn't take long for the two people operating the recoilless gun to start aiming, and then pressed the trigger of the launch.
"Bang!"
In that direction, there was a muffled sound, although the sound was relatively small, but Yang Hao and Mu Xi still heard it. Then. A large cloud of flames and smoke erupted from behind the recoilless cannon, instantly covering up all the qiē behind the pickup truck. The muzzle of the cannon also spewed some flames, and a shell quickly came out of the chamber and flew towards the convoy.
"Boom!"
The shell came to the convoy with a "swish" and accurately hit a Humvee. In an instant, the shell exploded, and the entire Humvee was blown up and flew towards the rear.
Humvees are bulletproof. So there are people who are hiding behind the Humvee. But the Humvee was not explosion-proof, and the car was blown off. The people behind also suffered. The car that was blown up hit them as soon as possible and took them out directly. The kinetic energy generated by the explosion was enough to kill them, and seeing these people fall to the ground, Yang Hao knew that these people were no longer saved.
Even if the internal organs are not cracked by the impact. Most of the bones in the body, including the ribs and sternum, must have been completely broken, and there was nothing to save from this injury, and he would die.
With a "boom", the Humvee fell on all fours on the ground next to the road. It was burning. After a while, the car exploded again, and the ammunition and equipment inside, as well as the fuel tank and engine, were all destroyed in the flames.
At this time, the machine guns behind the other two pickup trucks also began to fire. The bullets fired by the two machine guns formed a piece of fire in the night, and flew towards the soldiers of these convoys, and the fierce attack directly suppressed all the people, and the beaten people could not raise their heads.
A little later, the second shell struck. This time the shells passed through the convoy and exploded in the rear, causing little damage.
The gunner aimed crookedly.
But this kind of firepower is enough. No matter how tacit the combat of the convoy is, no matter how well equipped it is, it can't fight so many people with such fierce firepower. Several people desperately jumped into several cars, drove off the road, took all the people who were still alive, and quickly walked towards the other side, leaving the battlefield as fast as possible.
Two shells from behind also chased after them, but the car drove very fast, and it was in an "S" shape, so that the gunner could not aim at all, so the two shells exploded without causing any damage to the car. At this time, the car had also run away, out of the range of the recoilless gun, and the local armed forces could only give up.
The battle was over, and all the armed forces took up the remaining undestroyed cars, especially the two trucks, and soon someone opened the door of the truck.
To the surprise of Yang Hao and the others, the truck was not loaded with weapons and supply equipment, but people.
A large number of women and children, ragged and frightened, were taken out of the truck bed, and the local armed forces released them, and soon a clearing was drawn out on one side, bringing them all together.
Yang Hao and Mu Xi understood.
The people in this convoy are a human trafficking syndicate.
The children of these women, who were obviously locals, were caught by the convoy forces in some way, and gathered together to be taken away, but they were stopped by the local armed forces here.
Among the armed forces, there are many people who have put down their guns, found their families in the crowd, hugged each other and cried, there are not a few such people, for a while, the cries and shouts replaced the previous artillery fire and gunfire, filling the ears of Yang Hao and Mu Xi.
The two put down their binoculars, lay down here, and relaxed.
To put it bluntly, this exchange of fire was a battle between the local armed forces against the "evil forces". No wonder Yang Hao himself felt that these local armed forces had a rather lifeless posture, and they were all to protect their own people.
And in retrospect, when these armed forces were fighting, they deliberately did not let their own fire hit, even close to the trucks, they were attacking other vehicles, cutting off the way for the convoy to move forward and backward, and then suppressing it with heavy fire, so as to achieve victory.
Now for Yang Hao and Mu Xi, they can only wait for the local armed forces to clean up the battlefield and send all the people back, and then the two can continue on the road.
This battlefield has already blocked the way of the two, and there is no way for them to pass through here before the people disperse. (To be continued......)
