Chapter 917: Dragunov

"The 'farmer' received...... Be observant and stay connected. ā€

"The watchtower understands, it's over."

Holding a walkie-talkie to speak in a low voice, he provided target information to Imran and Said, who were a few kilometers away, and then waited for a ferocious firepower to cover, Long Yun took the walkie-talkie back into his arms, patted the shoulder of Salahardin, who was squatting against the wall to observe, he took off the G36C on his shoulder and leaned against the earthen wall, and then stared intently at the corner of the airport in the distance like a soldier.

Compared to the previous short encounter, this raid, Long Yun decided to adopt a completely different tactic.

About half an hour earlier, in an alley in the city of Mayadin, it had been decided to attack a dilapidated airfield, and Long Yun had decided to deal a heavy blow to the Liberals, and he had come up with a bold battle plan on the way, and then consulted Second Lieutenant Alayi.

The experienced intelligence officer was naturally quite surprised when he heard his plan, and thought that it was a little risky to do so, or that the disturbance was too big. However, doubts are doubts, just now after witnessing the fierce battle in the dust storm, the impression of Mr. "Red Dragon" in his mind has completely changed, Imran Alayi believes that the young man in front of him is not just a NATA volunteer pilot, so he still nodded in approval:

"Yes, Mr. 'Red Dragon', but what are you going to use to carry out the 'Fire Raid'?"

"Oh, of course, it has to fall on the rebels."

Long Yun was not unaware of the doubts in the intelligence officer's eyes. He easily told his comrades in front of him his plans. "Anyway, as long as it has a certain range and enough firepower density, it is also a weapon. Both; In my opinion, there are a lot of Liberal forces on the streets of Mayadin now, and there must be heavy weapons, so how about we simply get an armored vehicle like a T-72 or ZSU-23-4 and rush through it with full firepower? ā€

"That's, that's too risky, Mr. 'Red Dragon'!"

Sitting in the passenger seat of the "MAN" off-road vehicle, Salahardin, who was paying attention to the movement on the street, turned her head:

"Unless we completely hit them off guard. Rush to the base, otherwise as long as an anti-tank missile comes, we will be in trouble. ā€

"Oh...... It seems to be too. ā€

After all, there is a lack of systematic understanding of land warfare, Long Yun probably regarded tanks and armored vehicles as indestructible "iron turtles" at first, but as soon as he thought of the overwhelming information descriptions on the Internet, he knew that the T-72M/M1 series tanks widely used by the Syrian rebels had mediocre performance, and the main battle tanks suitable for large-scale armored battles were worrisome in survivability under the threat of complex and changeable modern anti-armor weapons; As for other lightly armored vehicles, they are naturally more vulnerable.

For their small team of only four people, at least half of them were assigned to control armored vehicles with obvious targets. This kind of thing may be very popular in movies, but it is not useful in actual combat.

"So. -- Shall we get a heavy howitzer, or a 'BM-21' or something? ā€

"W-Is that okay......?"

"Uh-well, I'm just thinking about it, actually."

As he spoke, the "MAN" off-road vehicle slowly drove through the dusty main road of the city, and several big guys parked on the side of the road appeared in Long Yun's sight, these unique earthy yellow six-wheeled chariots, with a huge turret and several meters long body barrels on the body, recognized that these were G-6 155mm self-propelled howitzers produced in Nanfei, Long Yun came up with a sentence without a head, and then quickly denied this idea.

Isn't it, the idea of seizing howitzers to bombard the airfield is too unrealistic!

If you want to stir up a mess in the Liberal occupied area, Long Yun certainly wants to make some big moves, and there are really a lot of Liberal armed forces stationed in the city of Meadin or passing by, and the rebels' weapons have always come from a variety of sources and of uneven quality, so it is not difficult to pull some useful heavy weapons from them.

For example, the G-6 self-propelled howitzer that just passed by is a powerful surface suppression weapon.

On the other hand, however, with just the four of them, even if they kidnapped a few rebel artillerymen and used something like a large-caliber howitzer to launch an attack, it was basically completely impossible to drive a sports car with a total length of more than 10 meters to swagger through the city, find a suitable firing position, complete geodetic surveys and target aiming, and then fire 155 mm grenades at a rate of two to three rounds per minute, if this kind of thing could be done under the noses of the rebels, then these Liberals were simply a bunch of retarded people, how could they fight Damascus fiercely for months.

Dispelling unrealistic thoughts, sitting in the off-road vehicle bumping forward in the wind and sand, Long Yun made some other ideas, such as finding a lot of explosives, transforming the "MAN" off-road vehicle into a suicide attack vehicle stuffed with charges, and quietly driving into the airport and then "bang-" sound?

Well, this kind of scheme is actually very unrealistic.

Attacks on vehicles laden with explosives are a common occurrence on news channels, but Long Yun, who has studied at a military academy, knows that this type of attack is quite ineffective against surface targets such as airports.

The scene of detonating a car full of explosives in an airport is certainly spectacular, but the distribution of shock waves and explosive fragments, which are closely related to lethality, is not at all reasonable, and besides, they are not "dead soldiers" in the first place, and driving an off-road vehicle full of explosives to break through the customs is completely an unnecessary risk, and ordinary combatants will not actually consider doing so.

This is not good, that is not appropriate, Long Yun, who was worried in the car with the G36C, had nothing to do for a while, he even shook a little, maybe he shouldn't have mentioned yƬ to attack the airport of the Liberal Party just now, but just nested in a certain house in the city of Mayadin, and sneaked away until dark?

When the matter came to an end, he began to regret it, this kind of thought, of course, Long Yun, who acted decisively, would not accept it.

However, at this time, Imran Alayi, who was next to him, blinked his eyes a few times and thoughtfully came up with an idea, and he explained his consideration to Mr. "Red Dragon" in a few words, and several people quickly reached a consensus and began to drive "MAN" to search slowly in the city of Mayadin.

……

The four-member special operations team is going to raid a large military site, and the weapons they really need are actually easy to find in the city of Mayadin.

From the implementation of the action plan to the present, the preparation of fire coverage has been completed in 30 minutes, and Long Yun and Salahardin, who are hiding in the dilapidated buildings, have been lurking in different positions, and their eyes have fallen on the area of Mayadin Airport more than 200 meters away.

Just checked the moment of the operation, everyone checked the watch time, wrapped in heavy military uniforms lying on the roof of a slightly collapsed two-story building, Salahardin held an SVD sniper rifle in his hand, he used the short time before the operation was launched to prepare for battle, polished the 7.62*54R bullets from the corpses of the rebels, and stuffed them into the wide magazine of the SVD.

Under the command of Mr. "Red Dragon", find a good sniper position for Sarahaddin, who is tasked with providing accurate fire support in this raid.

This kind of task, of course, is not difficult for an excellent soldier who has experienced a hundred battles, but now he only has an old "Dragonov" and an uncalibrated optical sight in his hand, and the enthusiasm of the rebel soldiers for the maintenance of firearms can be imagined.

Then again, according to Mr. "Red Dragon", his mission is to monitor the airport tower with the antennas erected and snipe any rebel soldiers who try to run in to communicate.

Blocking communications is naturally important for this raid, but will it really work?

Unlike the sand and dust in the heart of Syria, on the banks of the Tigris River, where the water and soil conditions are acceptable, the sandstorms that ravage the land seem to have subsided a little, and through the dust obscuration, Salahardin can see the scattered figures wandering around the airport, and he roughly estimated that this small airport that is in disrepair and looks dilapidated, only a few military planes are parked in the open near the runway, but the number of soldiers stationed there is not a lot.

One side attacked, the other defended, and if the four of them alone - not to mention that Imran and Saeed were still on their way at this time - to launch a strong attack, even if there was long-range firepower prepared, I am afraid it would be a tough battle.

Sneaking all the way, in the face of the unsuspecting rebels who had the advantage of numbers and terrain, Salahardin carefully prepared for battle, put several magazines filled with bullets in his shoulder bag spread out to the side to avoid dust on the freshly cleaned ammunition, pulled the handle to confirm that the bullet was loaded, and then approached the PSO-1 scope eyepiece according to the gun, and looked through the scope field of view with horizontal divisions and a series of small arrows.

The predetermined engagement distance was more than 200 meters, and according to the scale of the PSO-1 sight, the impact point was basically at the tip of the first arrow in the center of the field of view.

At this distance, an experienced shooter can quickly correct the hit point of the first shot, but now that the wind is howling and the dust is flying, Salahardin knows that he can't ignore the adverse effects of the crosswind, and that he will have to go all out to complete the deployment of Mr. "Red Dragon".
