Chapter 1046: Night Battle!
The battle broke out!
The militants, who were tragically attacked by a wave of air strikes, were completely blown up.
A variety of light and heavy weapons opened fire rapidly.
The machine guns fired wildly, and the bullets whizzed like splashing water, spilling on the defensive positions.
The remaining recoilless guns and mortars, without much aiming, slammed into the position.
Fierce and powerful firepower, the fight is quite lively.
Although it is not accurate, it is enough to give confidence to many militants.
Time.
Armed pickups, reinforced with welded steel plates, were used as moving chariots, and groups of three or five followed them forward to attack.
Howling as he walked, he raised his AK assault rifle above his head from time to time and fired a few times.
As for whether they hit or not, they don't care.
Others are shooting indiscriminately at defensive positions.
At a distance of more than three hundred meters, the recoil of the AK assault rifle is large, and the muzzle beating can be ferocious......
Even a well-trained shooter can only achieve controllable accuracy within 100 meters.
Two or three hundred meters, it was a dark night with bad light, and I was still strafing in small steps......
If this is a hit, it will be really unlucky.
Of course.
This waste of ammunition will definitely scare the rookies who are new to the battlefield.
Bullets whizzed overhead, occasionally rattling around......
I always feel that I will be very unlucky in the next second and be hit by a bullet.
Therefore, they will be so frightened that they will shrink their heads, and they will want to hide in the trench fortifications and not show their heads.
But whether it is Edson and other twelve mercenaries, or the anti-terrorist special forces led by Zhang Ren.
Including the pilots and mechanics who stayed with Tang Xiao, no one was a rookie.
What is there to be afraid of in the face of this gang of militants, which can be called a rabble?
Stay in the fortifications, lock the aiming, and strive to keep the gun from emptying, one shot at a time.
With the help of advanced night vision sighting equipment, the shooting line of sight is not affected.
Moreover, these militants are all attacking in a straight line, and they are not in a Z-shaped position.
So as long as the marksmanship is good enough, it will be like killing one by one.
But......
For the mercenaries who have been in the war and conflict zone for many years, they are all too familiar with these militants.
Rabble, untactical, undisciplined, bullying the weak and fearing the hard......
The situation was good, and they rushed forward one by one with a roar, looking quite bluffing.
Especially bullying unarmed people, they are even more brave and brave.
On the contrary, if you encounter a strong enemy and there are large casualties, you will soon be scared and run away.
So......
These militants, who take up arms and ammunition and are bandits, are no different from civilians when they are put down.
The reason why I want to embark on this road is not because in the perennial war and conflict areas, if you want to eat and drink spicy food, you can only be a bandit.
If you can't live a life, plus you are lazy and lazy, how many people are born to be bandits?
Therefore.
You can't kill these people with a single shot.
After wounding them, they themselves lost their combat effectiveness, and they continued to scream and wail and struggle in pain.
Then whether their companions are saved or not, it will affect the overall combat effectiveness.
If there are enough wounded and miserable, the morale of the army is shaken, and they will soon collapse and flee.
Although this method is vicious, on the battlefield, it is either you die or I die, and it doesn't matter if you use any means.
It's not.
Ederson and his twelve mercenaries all adhered to this principle, using single burst fire, rather than short or long point fire, to ensure high accuracy of damage and not killing.
In contrast, Zhang Ren and others, who were only in the second actual battle this time, seemed a little 'inexperienced'.
After strict training, their marksmanship is good, and they can basically do it without letting go, but those who are knocked down by them basically hang up on the spot.
Especially snipers, focusing on machine gunners and gunners among the militants, they can really blow their heads out and never hit them in the chest.
This is actually inertia in training.
They are anti-terrorist special forces, whose primary responsibility is to maintain stability and deal with emergencies and combat vicious crimes.
In dealing with extreme criminals, in order to protect people's lives and property, it is, of course, to try to kill, not injure.
But no matter what.
There were only more than 20 people, and the frequency of shooting was not high, but they played jaw-dropping accurate firepower.
Hundreds of militants were killed and wounded in less than a minute after the attack.
Besides.
Tang Xiao also commanded unmanned attack aircraft, accurately dropped bombs, and blew up several armed pickup trucks, making their losses even greater.
It didn't take long for the militants, who were attacking, to suddenly stop.
Some lay down, some hid behind sand dunes and grass, and some hid near armed pickups.
No one stood in the car of the armed pickup truck, grabbed the heavy machine gun and fired wildly.
The previous machine gunner was killed by the previous one.
Who else would dare to approach a heavy machine gun? That's a talisman.
And those who operate recoilless guns and mortars are just as miserable.
And so it goes.
There is no one to control heavy weapons, no powerful firepower to suppress ......
These stragglers, seeing that the casualties are not small, and the opponent has excellent marksmanship, where can anyone dare to attack?
One by one, they hid on their stomachs, and they were all very cowardly.
In an instant.
The battlefield that had been fought with a lot of gunfire and a particularly lively battle immediately quieted down.
Of course, this quietness is relative.
It's not a dead silence.
Many militants who had been wounded by mercenaries such as Ederson were wailing in pain.
The heart-rending screams could be heard from two or three hundred meters away.
Someone tried to come to the rescue, and the result was ......
Bang~
Crisp gunshots!
Accurate hits!
Among the experienced mercenaries, there are top snipers.
If you want to hit the head, you must not hurt your neck, you must scrap your left leg, and you must never hurt half a hair of your right leg.
Hit the thigh and knocked it down with a single shot.
After falling, he wailed and screamed.
When the mercenaries shoot, they will not kill them at all, but will only make them bleed slowly, constantly struggling and wailing.
On the battlefield.
The corpses were bleeding and the wounded were screaming.
Those militants had occasionally fired flares before, for fear that they would not be able to see the battlefield clearly.
But now......
One by one, they hid, eager to dig pits and sand in their places and hide in them.
The battle suddenly began, but it suddenly stopped.
The unmanned reconnaissance planes reconnoitred at high altitudes, and through infrared thermal induction detection, it was enough to 'see' that many militants had not evacuated, but were lying on their stomachs and hiding.
But whether they have communicated and spoken to each other, I don't know, the on-board equipment of the drone has not yet advanced to the extent that it can accurately record several kilometers apart.
However, the casualties are so large, they have not shaken the morale of the army, scattered in a hurry, and still lie on the ground and pretend to be dead and motionless, which is also too abnormal, when did these militants become so hard-willed?
In the past, the armed forces that were active in poor and backward areas were all fighting for certain interests.
For example, the competition for territory, the robbery of population, the plundering of wealth, and so on.
It must be because of some kind of interest that this armed force can attack so bloodlessly.
And this force should not be small, otherwise how could they have rushed to the crash and parachute site so quickly?
The plane was suddenly hit at a high altitude, could these militants be unpredictable?
Or are they stargazing at night and looking up their necks to see it?
And after the plane was hit, everyone parachuted and fell into this desert.
These militants, it didn't take long for them to come quickly, how did they find them quickly?
By all indications.
There will inevitably be more powerful forces equipped with all kinds of advanced anti-aircraft missiles and radar equipment.
These people lay down and hid......
Even drone aerial photography found that they were gradually crawling backwards, widening the distance between them and the defensive positions.
Why keep your distance?
Obviously, I want to avoid being injured by mistake!
It's already more than 300 meters away, isn't it safe enough?
What kind of attack will have a big mistake?
"Not good!!"
Tang Xiao immediately pressed the tactical wireless phone microphone and shouted:
"Watch out, everyone, there may be shelling!!"
In addition to reminding, Tang Xiao let the unmanned reconnaissance plane expand the search area.
However, drones are not omnipotent, and the optical and infrared sensing detection equipment they carry are easy to be deceived.
For example, if a vehicle or soldier is covered with an infrared camouflage net, as if it is integrated with the surrounding desert, it is difficult for drones to identify.
What kind of weapon would that be?
Air strikes are impossible, and although the situation in Nabia is volatile and chaotic, it has not yet heard of any local armed forces that can have their own airfields and air forces.
A weapon of mass destruction, will it be artillery?
Self-propelled howitzers look like tanks from a distance, they are expensive and troublesome to maintain, and this group of armed forces should not have them.
As for towed artillery, there will inevitably be trucks and the like for towing and pulling, and artillery positions will also be arranged.
But on the vast land, there were no vehicles or anything like that.
"I'll go! It can't be rocket artillery!"
As soon as Tang Xiao finished muttering, the unmanned reconnaissance plane suddenly detected some special targets.
Adjust your course and close the distance.
A few kilometers away from the battlefield, infrared thermal induction detected four small trucks.
The pickup trucks didn't get too close to the battlefield and quickly stopped.
An engine that burns oil to generate power, and the heat is staggering.
On this cold night, it can be detected from a long distance.
After the four cars stopped at intervals, many people jumped out of the cars and quickly tinkered with something, like a towed small artillery.
Tang Xiao brought the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft closer, and was surprised to find that it was actually a 107mm rocket launcher!
12 rounds of rockets, caliper sights, easy to operate, quick reloading, fierce firepower......
This rocket artillery is easy to carry and is able to quickly enter positions.
The aiming method is simple and practical, and once fired, it is fired in seconds.
Before the enemy can react, he can quickly pull away with the car and complete the mobile transfer.
Because of these advantages, this antique weapon, which has been developed for decades, is still active in various war-torn conflict areas, and is the favorite of extremists, second only to AK assault rifles and RPGs in popularity.
"Watch out for rocket artillery!!"
Tang Xiao shouted loudly to remind.
Quickly dodged into the anti-artillery hole, half-crouching and opening his lips instead of closing his mouth tightly.
Avoid shelling, do not lie on the ground and close your mouth, because the violent explosion and vibration will easily injure the internal organs, and the super sound will easily burst the eardrum.
Of course, she didn't just wait to be bombed, but her hand speed was amazing, and she quickly switched operations, so that the unmanned attack aircraft could quickly throw the remaining bombs over, and how many could be blown up.
But......
The 107mm rocket launcher has been well-known all over the world for many years, isn't it in vain?
Whew~Whew!
Whew~Whew!
Rockets ignited rapidly, and the air currents kicked up billowing sand and dust.
Fueled by a strong blast of gas, it flew out of the bazooka, dragging a long tail flame through the night sky.
One after another, like countless death rockets, soared into the air, drawing dazzling arcs.
For a distance of several kilometers, it takes about ten seconds to fly.
So......
Seeing that the enemy fired dozens of rockets into the air, he knew that in ten seconds or so, he would land next to him or even on his head.
It feels ...... It's so tense that it's suffocating!
Scared, running away, breaking down, crying?
All emotions are of no use in this moment.
Woo...... Rumble!
When the first rocket hit the ground and exploded, it followed one after another.
One rocket after another, as if in a continuous stream, fell from the sky and exploded on the ground.
Quick as a wink.
The defensive position and the surrounding area of two or three hundred meters were constantly exploding, sand and gravel flying, and gunpowder smoke billowing out.
The explosions continued to make the earth tremble.
A dull hum, as if it was about to shatter the head.
No one dared to show their heads, and the flying shrenchnel was indiscriminately swept and raged.
After hiding in the fortified bunker for a few seconds, the explosion finally stopped.
However, if the opponent's rocket launchers are not knocked out, the opponent can reload them within two minutes and continue to bomb indiscriminately.
Maybe there will be other artillery to join, and it will be a tragedy.
How many rounds of shelling can this hastily constructed defensive position withstand?
Moments of crisis.
Tang Xiao really wanted to ask Wu Jie, where is the support......
