Chapter 544: Stop! Dangerous goods are being dealt with ahead!
When asked by Lu Xiangyang, who had just landed, whether he had the ability to protect himself, the head of the ground staff misunderstood that he was referring to the inability to protect himself when lions and leopards and other wild animals were around.
Obviously, the two MP5s would not have been able to deal with the threat of wild animals calmly, otherwise they would not have gone to great lengths to build a fence out of thorns and thorns to keep out the wild beasts while they were thirsty and smoking.
Similarly, with these two submachine guns with extremely high accuracy of fire at close range, the ground crews were unable to provide themselves with effective fire cover during their operations across the British-controlled railway.
But that doesn't mean you can bully these scumbags at will when they're hiding in a big bush.
Of course, you don't have to worry about these oil-covered rough embryos attacking you with wrenches from the shadows, because stepping into the bushes where they are hiding is much more dangerous than this.
Let's take a look at the bits and pieces on the airport commuter buses transmitted by the "director team", let's not mention cold weapons such as wrenches and screwdrivers, and the electronic instruments of various detection aircraft do not seem to be lethal, and the equipment specially for loading ammunition for the 30mm Vulcan cannon of the A10 attack aircraft also looks harmless.
The more than 10,000 rounds of 30 mm depleted uranium shells are quite scary, and the key is that the ground crews still lack a Vulcan cannon to fire them.
Wait, what's that long army-green lump of iron? What the hell is it that those ground crews are connecting them to wires!?
That's right, those iron bumps are American-made MK82 low-drag bombs given to the ground crew by the "director team"! The gang was screwing a yellow-black fuse to the front end of the bomb, as well as a wire to detonate it.
IED! A terrifying explosive that even those who haven't read anything can easily control. In the hands of these professional ground crews, the IED was cobbled together with two MK82 low-drag bombs, and it was freshly baked in less than ten minutes.
In fact, the small pond was not far from the bushes where the ground workers were hiding, otherwise the three volunteers would not have hiked to fetch water.
At such a close distance, it didn't take long for the British horseback patrol to come over, even if they searched all the way along the way.
In such a short period of time, of course, it is impossible for the ground staff to make a full set of covers for this deranged IED like those who don't eat pork.
"Stop! Dangerous goods are being dealt with ahead! ”
A wooden sign with a skull logo on it was erected in front of the bomb, which was supposed to be made of some kind of ammunition box dismantled, and there was a warning in English written in marker.
"Boss, high! This reminds me of the empty city plan that Zhuge Kongming played! Tsk, I don't believe the British dare to go forward! A ground staff rough embryo said very doggedly.
"Well, I also admire myself, my hand is even smarter than Zhuge Liang, Lao Tzu This is a serial plan, you can attack and retreat!" The leader of the ground crew shamelessly accepted the flattery of his men.
However, the British cavalry obviously hadn't read the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and they first looked at it from a distance for a while, and found that the sign seemed to have been erected in a hurry.
What tricks are these Boers playing? Think you can scare us off with such a broken wooden card? Pride and prejudice do make judgment less effective, and if the commander of this British patrol had been a little more careful, he might have noticed the dark green paint on the back of the wooden plaque, as well as the English words USAF and air-to-ground missile.
Objectively speaking, the British commander had paid enough attention to this sign, first sent a person to check it, and after making sure that there were no press-fired mines, he let the whole team search and advance into the bushes in a formation of three layers and five meters apart.
"Hey! Your uncle, do you dare to move forward with two 500-pound bombs there? The courage of the British really moved the ground crew, and they must have turned around and left when they saw the two goods.
Of course, the British did not understand the power of modern aerial bombs, but the ground crews did not understand cavalry either. Cavalry warfare is not actually like some of the traversal depicted, can be unscrupulously maneuvered in the desert steppe.
Horses are extremely precious animals, and they may starve, but you must not let them be thirsty. If a horse is dehydrated by about 20%, it will be life-threatening, and even if the dehydration is below this level, it will still be at risk of developing an intestinal hernia.
In other words, the offensive route of the cavalry is not without a trace, and there is no trace at all, as long as you can fully grasp the distribution map of all water resources in the combat area and can carry out effective reconnaissance and monitoring of it, it is possible for you to grasp the traces of the opponent's cavalry.
A pond not too far from the railway line where the horses could be drunk, a recent shooting, and a bush where a large number of soldiers could be hidden, imagine if the British were not brainless, would they give up searching this bush because of a sign with a warning written in pink marker?
"Yo, are you still coming? Is it because the words on the sign are pink and not serious enough, and all the British guys don't believe it? A rough embryo asked.
"I don't have a problem, the 'director team' gave me a pink marker, what can I do?" The other rough embryo replied.
"Shut up, give me a nest in the foxhole! Lao Tzu is about to explode! The ground crew leader with a piece of wire in his hand said.
Generally speaking, an American-made MK82 low-drag bomb is loaded with 87 kg of Tritona or H6 explosives, which can blow up a crater with a diameter of about 4~5 meters and a depth of 2~3 meters. If the aircraft is delivered at a sufficient altitude and a time-delay fuse is used, it can even blow up craters with a diameter of 10 meters and a depth of 6 meters.
Don't be deceived by the explosion of a bomb that often appears in dramas with a power of only one grade as a grenade, the kind of plot where the protagonist only uses his elbow to block his face and pat the dust after the bomb explodes a few meters away from him does not exist.
When the ground crew lying in the foxhole sixty or seventy meters away was turned on, the high-energy shock wave caused by the explosion of two MK82 low-drag bombs whistled over their heads, and a large amount of debris, wood chips and branches were rolled up and smashed on them.
When the ground crews who were still buzzing in their ears poked their heads out of the foxholes, there was no sign of the presence of British cavalry.
These dozen or so British cavalrymen formed a loose formation covering about half a basketball court, and if they really encountered the mines of this era, they would probably not have suffered much loss.
But what was blown up just now was the big bomb that the ground crew learned from the Hollywood blockbuster "Bomb Disposal Unit", well, Ya definitely copied it, in order to prevent the British from removing the threads and putting two MK82s, Nima also connected two detonation wires.
The power of this IED made in anticipation of the enemy's leniency is absolutely excessive, not to mention that the British don't even have body armor, even if they drive their own "Challenger" main battle tank in the future, it may not be able to land well.
When the smoke cleared, the two ground crews who had no idea about the explosion of the bomb actually came out to get one or two weapons to defend themselves, and then they had a more intuitive understanding of this kind of big bomb that they had to deal with almost every day.
"Madan, let's get rid of those Brits, get back quickly!" The ground crew leader said over the walkie-talkie to the three unlucky people who went out to fetch water without success.
Perhaps they had just sacrificed the lives of the British, and before the three unlucky men who had taken water could return to the bushes where they were hiding, large raindrops poured down from the sky.
"Damn, are you sure it's horse meat? It doesn't mix human flesh, does it? One asked the other ground crew who was roasting meat under a tarpaulin.
"It's a little bit mixed with human flesh, Du Nima has been fried into that kind of scene! Don't worry, I was carrying a horse bone when I cut it just now. Alas, I said, are you looking for a smoke? If you don't eat it, you pull it, why are you disgusting with me? The rough embryo of the barbecue replied.
The heavy rain in the savannah came and went as fast as it came, and the rough embryos stopped before they could take a few bites of barbecue. There was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, but the ground crews were sure that they were not there to receive their reinforcements, as they had just spoken to the mountain troops.
"F*ck! Reinforcements from the British? Didn't you say that their means of communication were backward, why did they call the door so quickly? A rough embryo heard the sound of horses' hooves, so frightened that he couldn't hold the roast meat in his hand.
"Don't get excited, maybe it's a Boer?" Another rough embryo comforted.
