Chapter 381: Ansar Brigade
The militants from Libya prefer the small refinery to the living quarters and oil wells.
These militants are not fools, of course, they know very well that this kind of living area located on the border is actually a soldier for everyone, and almost every household has a gun, and even if the Algerian government strictly prohibits guns, it will not stop these border residents from defending themselves.
Therefore, just because dozens of them want to raid a living area with two or three hundred people, it can't be said to be looking for death, but it is definitely not pleased.
As for the oil wells, most of them are scattered in the wilderness, and even if they are blown up, it will take a few days at most to resume production. The refinery, on the other hand, is the heart of the entire oil field, and even blowing up one section of the pipeline can paralyze the refinery for a long time.
The most important thing is that in the oil storage area of the refinery, there are several thousand-ton oil storage tanks, and if you can blow that thing, the entire refinery will be wiped off the face of the earth!
So, the militants targeted the refinery early on!
Mohammad Azaei is a captain and company commander of the Ansar Brigade, one of the six major armed separatist forces in Libya, and unlike the Ansar Brigade, which is mainly active in eastern Libya, the troops led by Mohammed Azai are mainly active in the Libyan border area, carrying out attacks on pre-planned targets.
The Ansar Brigade is a well-known armed separatist force in Libya, and it is also the armed force with the strongest religious flavor among the six major armed separatist forces in Libya today, and it is also recognized as an armed force "involved in terrorism" by some Western countries led by the United States.
The Ansar Brigade is made up of a group of fanatical religious elements who oppose Haftar, the largest armed separatist force in Libya, and do not recognize Haftar's "coup" operation. At the same time, these often hot-headed guys do not support the rule of the Libyan parliament in Libya today, and form a de facto "independence" in eastern Libya.
In September 2012, the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was attacked, killing four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens. The United States identified the Ansar Brigade as planning the attack and placed it on the list of terrorist organizations.
Subsequently, the U.S.-backed Haftar forces launched an attack on the Ansar Brigade's base in Benghazi, resulting in a number of casualties. The Ansar Brigade then issued a statement vowing revenge.
In this case, the Ansar Brigade sent a lot of combat detachments to western Libya, because in Libya, they did not have the means to retaliate against Haftar's forces on a large scale, but they had the means to cross the border to retaliate against the United States, Britain, France and other countries that supported Haftar's forces.
The attack on the Amenas gas plant in 2013 was the work of the Ansar Brigade.
However, the bombing of the Amenas gas plant led to the increased defense of all oil and gas fields and refineries near the Lia border, which prevented the Ansar Brigade from choosing a good target for a long time. Later, Mohammad Zaire's men offered advice that the oil and gas fields on the Lia border were on guard, so why didn't we move north and attack the oil fields on the Afghan border?
This time, the team led by Mohammed Zaire was preparing to change targets and launch an attack on some targets in the north.
Originally, they chose the Ohamm oil field of the French, but some time ago this oil field actually changed owners, from the French to the Chinese.
Well, the prestige of the Chinese here is still good, but we have bothered to move from the south to the north, and it has cost a lot of money, since you Chinese people dare to accept the things of the French, why do you have to show us something? Give us some money, we can let you go in the oil field.
As a result, these Chinese people did not enter the oil and salt, and the last time they came to negotiate, they were driven out by those guys with guns.
His sister, my aunt can bear this, but my uncle can't bear it!
What I didn't say,!
After several days of preparation, Mohammad Zaire and his more than 70 men, in more than 10 pickup trucks, secretly crossed the border of Tunisia at night, drove more than 150 kilometers in the desert, and then crossed the border between Tunisia and Algeria, preparing to attack and retaliate against this "ignorant" Huaxia oil field!
This time, in order to establish his authority again, Mohammad Zaire and his team can be said to have taken out all the belongings of the family - a handful of AK47s, three RPG-7s, eleven tattered pickup trucks, as well as grenades, ammunition, and explosives.
In the opinion of Muhammad Zaire, with the weapons in his hands, it is not difficult to break through the defense line of more than a dozen people, regardless of the weapons that those guys have, but can they compare to our great Ansar Brigade soldiers?
These are real fighters, they have resisted the forces of Haftar's usurper, they have been bombed by the "Libyan regular army air force", they have also been subjected to the air raids of those hateful Western countries, they are all real warriors who have come out of the flames of war. How could those Chinese people on the other side, who could only hold guns and gesture, compare to us real warriors who have been in a hundred battles?
As long as you break through the defense line of the Chinese people, and then install those C4s bought at high prices on the black market on those huge oil storage tanks, you can enjoy the huge and brilliant fireworks in the distance.
Besides, it's the second half of the night, and the Chinese people may still be asleep!
In order not to be discovered by the Chinese, under the orders of Mohammad Zaire, the gang stopped the car more than 500 meters from the refinery. These broken cars are already broken, and the engine is too loud, if you drive it directly, I am afraid that it can wake up all the people in the entire living area.
"Well, after this attack, let's see if we can easily find a few Toyota pickup trucks or off-road vehicles from the living quarters! The Chinese people are quite rich now, and it shouldn't be a problem to get them a few good cars. Mohammed Zaire thought to himself as he led his men to the refinery stealthily.
Little did he know that his head had been accurately caught by the aiming star of a sniper rifle hundreds of meters away.
Mohammad Zaire: They completely underestimated Kevin Martin's vigilance. As a mercenary team that has been active in Libya, Syria, and Iraq for a long time, Kevin Martin, as the vice-captain, has enough experience in the battlefield. Keeping enough vigilance at all times has been integrated into his bones.
Even though it was just a regular bodyguard mission, Kevin Martin was on high alert while on duty, especially when he learned from the mouths of the oilfield guards that there was a watchtower, and he didn't hesitate to climb it.
Kevin Martin was very satisfied with the modified tower, which not only had a high-definition infrared telescope fixed to the shelf, but also a sniper rifle that fired 7.62 mm bullets and a squad machine gun that fired the same ammunition, and Kevin Martin was reassured that a steel plate up to 15 mm thick was installed on the outside of the tower platform.
Kevin Martin is also quite satisfied with this transformation of the oil field guard. This tower-high watchtower is transformed into a steel fortress.
In Kevin Martin's experience, it was almost impossible to destroy the platform with heavy steel plates from under the ground, and as long as there were two people on it, it would be possible to control all the surrounding areas within a radius of 700 meters. This area is enough to cover the entire living area and most of the refinery.
Unless the enemy sneaks up from behind, the enemy is definitely looking for death if he wants to attack from the direction of the border line.
As for the RPG-7, which theoretically poses the biggest threat to the security of the tower, with this sniper rifle, there is basically no need to think about that thing.
Although the RPG-7 is very powerful and has a theoretical range of up to 900 meters, in practice, this weapon has no accuracy at a distance of 300 meters. And in such an open area, it is simply impossible to carry an RPG-7 to within 300 meters of the tower - don't take that Type 88 sniper rifle for a gun!
With the Type 88 sniper rifle, even at night, a sniper rifle equipped with an infrared scope can easily control an area with a radius of 400 meters!
Kevin Martin and another member of the guard stood on the tower platform together, and although it was a little cold, they did this kind of work, and no one complained.
Then, Kevin Martin, who had been on the tower for more than an hour, was startled by the faint sound of a car engine in the distance.
Compared with the infrared low-light sight on the sniper rifle, this large infrared telescope that can actively turn on the infrared light can see much farther, especially the moonlight tonight is not bad, plus in the cold desert area, the pickup truck driven by the group of militants is as bright as a morning star in the night, from the infrared telescope, it is a small stove, the red is amazing, it is difficult to find it.
Kevin Martin immediately reported the discovery to the captain Carl Morris, and of course, the communication channels between them were the same, and while Carl Morris knew that there was an uninvited guest, Chris, they all knew about it.
When the report was complete, Kevin Martin grabbed the sniper rifle and another member of the convoy held the grip of the squad machine gun, both of them waiting for the order to fire.
By the time Mohammad Zaire and the others were about to reach the road east of the refinery, Kevin Martin could clearly identify the commander of the uninvited visitors through the scope, and his scope immediately put the man's head in the scope.
A radio alert was heard over the radio that the convoy members were ready, and an order was sent from the top to say "free movement", so Kevin Martin pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The next moment, through the scope, Kevin Martin could clearly see the guy he was aiming at, and half of his head was missing in an instant......
