Chapter 553: Repair it

The whole carjacking operation officially began after the British officer, who was trying to justify his shooting of friendly soldiers, was torn apart by the 50 bullets fired by Barrett, and Zou Heming had to ask people to bring out anti-materiel rifles, and he wanted this kind of bloody scene to deter the British.

Seeing that some of their own people were being sniped, the British soldiers shot indiscriminately at all possible places where the enemy might be hidden, and the officers began to shout out about these reckless actions of the British soldiers, but after two or three seconds of being regarded as a bird by the snipers who crossed the crowd, no one came out to clean up the current mess.

Once the coal-burning old steam locomotive stops, it is not something that can be done in a short time to start and resume speed.

It was precisely because of this property of the old-fashioned train that a group of infantry carrying bulletproof shields in the vanguard were able to approach the train.

The British soldiers, who had lost their officer's command and were busy shooting indiscriminately, noticed that several objects suspected to be grenades had been thrown from the bushes on the side of the train, and just as some British soldiers wanted to laugh at the Boer grenadiers for being too weak, a large amount of white smoke came out of the grenadiers.

What the hell? Even if the grenadiers are farmers who don't have enough to eat, who are you going to scare with these damp grenades?

Soon the British soldiers discovered that the white smoke was not a damp grenade, and many people took advantage of the white smoke to get close to the train!

By the time the smoke cleared, the attackers had already formed a column close to the side of the train and fired at them, and the Upper Maxim heavy machine guns and 4.7-inch naval guns mounted on the train could not pose a threat to the attackers at close range due to their limited firing range.

Without the assistance of heavy machine guns and artillery, the British soldiers could only rely on bolt-action rifles in their hands to fire at the attackers, but fortunately, the number of attackers who approached was not large, and the British soldiers hoped to use their superiority in numbers to suppress and eventually eliminate these attackers.

However, the optimism of the British did not last long, and the shield that they had just ridiculed as the "medieval tower shield" was actually bulletproof! The bullets they fired hit the shield, and you could hear the jingle and see the sparks flying.

The numerical superiority that the British soldiers had hoped would be able to make a big use did not play a role after losing the command and coordination of the officers.

Whether it is the rough embryo of the 101st Airborne Division or the strawberry soldiers who punch in, in order to cope with the security war, they themselves don't know how many exercises have been carried out in this combat environment similar to that close to the train, and the chaotic counterattack of the British army is not even a threat to the rough embryos The targets during training, at least the instructors who put the targets have brains than these British soldiers who shoot like headless flies, right?

Because a large number of officers were sniped, the British soldiers were simply unable to organize an effective counterattack, and their men were basically nested in the carriages, empty of numerical superiority but unable to spread out the formation, unable to turn the numerical superiority into a victory in control.

The British soldiers who tried to shoot their guns out of the windows were quickly named by the snipers who crossed the crowd, and some brave soldiers got out of the carriage like gourd babies saving their grandfather and fired at the assault teams who crossed the crowd, but they were also quickly overwhelmed by the assault rifles in the hands of the rough embryos.

Just like that, the commando team that leaned up slowly advanced with bulletproof shields, and kept throwing grenades into every carriage they passed, well, this time it was a grenade that could blow people up.

With no more officers to snipe in sight, the 4.7-inch naval guns of the British army mounted on armored trains became the focus of the snipers.

John Bull hastily added bulletproof armor to the train with Maxim heavy machine guns after the railway line was frequently harassed by the Boers, and when the firepower was no longer enough to suppress the Boers, they had to install 4.7-inch naval guns on the train so that they could slowly advance under its cover and repair the railway and communication facilities in small sections.

However, the British army did not provide any good protection for these 4.7-inch naval guns that were temporarily moved to the train, even if they did not use heavy weapons such as RPG-7 and "Javelin" anti-tank missiles in order to prevent shells from destroying the carriages, the protection of these naval guns was still naked in the eyes of the rough embryos.

The hastily welded cannon shield was not only as thin as a cicada's wing, but also made of civilian steel, and the narrow space of the train carriage did not allow the British to pile too many sandbags.

The .50 bullets fired from the anti-materiel rifles had turned the semi-open gun emplacement, which had been sturdy against the Boer cavalry, into hell, where the gunners and those who wanted to save them were lying soldiers who had been killed by large-caliber bullets pierced through thin brittle gun shields and single layers of sandbags.

After the 4.7-inch naval guns and Maxim heavy machine guns were abolished, the British army's numerical superiority was slowly weakened, and the Boer cavalry, who had only come to cut the telegraph line, continued to join the warband, and the numbers of the two warring sides had moved towards a balance point that was unfavorable to the British after a series of exchanges.

When the British driver raised the pressure of the locomotive boiler, he found that the rails had been piled up with dozens of large logs without anyone knowingly, and he was not driving an off-road vehicle.

"Get down on your knees and put your heads in your hands!" Zou Heming led the commandos to strafe and throw mines all the way, and finally entered the other front of the armored train.

Bang! The unlucky guy who was shoveling coal into the boiler was so nervous that he raised the shovel in his hand, and it turns out that when you are pointed at gunpoint by a bunch of masked guys, you better not make any extra moves, or you will end up as unlucky as this stoker. If it weren't for the high-pressure boiler on this side, these GIs wouldn't have just fired a shot and stopped!

"This is the honey badger, call the bird's nest." After taking control of the entire armored train, Zou Heming began to call the airport command.

"This is the Bird's Nest, please tell me." Lu Xiangyang replied.

"We have successfully secured the cargo and are on track to implement the next steps as planned." Zou Heming said.

"Very good, the action is postponed for half an hour, you guys are ready to prepare." Lu Xiangyang said.

"What? Is there any trouble on the hedgehog's side? Zou Heming asked nervously.

The hedgehog is the code name of the operation team that hijacked another armored train of the British army, and the reason why Zou Heming was so nervous was because the assault mission on that side was also done by Diana and the airborne troops led by Maozi.

This infatuated guy dared to touch the C-17 and went to South Africa for Mao Mei, and now he heard that the mission was not postponed for half an hour due to the improper operation of his team, of course, he was worried about what would happen to his beloved foreign horse!

"Can there be trouble? Someone else finishes the task before you do! The soldiers trained by Maozi are good at everything, but sometimes they are a little too rough, and the train that has just arrived may have to be repaired before it can be opened. Lu Xiangyang said.

"It's good to be able to open, my daughter-in-law is like this, sometimes it's a little light and heavy, lead you to take care of more, take care of more!" Zou Heming said facelessly.

For the Maozi special forces, who often kill hostages, the train they robbed can be driven with just one repair. To tell the truth, Zou Heming is mentally prepared for the next stage of the task to be carried out only by the armored train he hijacked, if you encounter an extremely grumpy foreign horse bombing car and killing people because his girlfriend is unconscious, you can't even count it as news, okay!
