Chapter 452: Attack II
(PS: Ladies and gentlemen, can we not be political,, a large group of cadres who have been established for three years, if you say no, you won't, the new group number 875504726)
The fire was so blazing that even the armored vehicles that were scrapped near the entrance were burned red.
Time passed, and the fire finally went out in most areas.
At this moment, Dennis Abt gave the order: "The artillery extends the cover, at a distance of 200 meters, and keeps firing at a uniform speed." ”
"Boom", "boom", "boom" explosions sounded, and the recoilless guns fired.
"Armored vehicle units march!"
The engine roared, and the armored car tracks turned and again charged towards the Neapolitan estate.
Just as the armored car rushed to the gate of the manor again, Dennis Abt ordered again, "Rocket artillery unit, high-explosive shells are ready, extend 300 meters inward, one round of preparation, one launch, fire!"
"Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh"
The firelight streaked across the night sky, and a violent explosion occurred again inside the manor, and the flames rose into the sky, which could be clearly seen from more than ten kilometers away.
Under the cover of artillery fire, the armored car slammed into the abandoned armored car blocking the door and rushed through a passage, and the subsequent seven armored vehicles also rushed in.
The ground had just been hit by incendiary bombs, and it was so hot that the infantry could not rush into it at all, and now the armored vehicles could only open the way, occupy key positions and set up defenses, opening a passage for the follow-up infantry to advance.
As the armored vehicle rushed through the area that had just burned, the artillery immediately stopped firing.
Later, several armored vehicles equipped with night vision equipment turned on the vehicle's large night vision devices and began to scan the location of Pablo's defenders in the manor.
The Gatling on the roof of the car roared and fired at a possible target.
At the same time, as the shelling stopped, armoured vehicles in the manor also drove out from their pre-sheltered places, and the cannons aimed at each other and began to fire at each other.
Gunfire rang out throughout the manor.
With the roar of machine guns, inside the hidden bunker, in the artificial lake, Pablo's soldiers jumped out again, and armored vehicles carrying RPG bazooka aiming umbrellas opened fire again.
Fortunately, this time the terrain was relatively open, and it was difficult for the moving armored vehicles to be hit, and even if they did, because of the presence of bulletproof fences, the armored vehicles did not appear damaged in battle.
Of course, also because of the movement, it is difficult for the machine guns on the armored vehicles to hit the soldiers who run away immediately after firing the bazookas.
Dennis Abt again gave a loud order, "Armored car group B, rush in!"
"Helicopter crew, knock out those bunkers for me!"
Another group of wheeled armored vehicles immediately entered, regardless of whether the ground was still hot at the moment and whether the tires would burn out, and at the same time, three Black Hawks hovering a few hundred meters above were ready to launch at any moment.
In fact, the best way to do this would be to hit an armored vehicle with the Hellfire anti-tank missiles on the Black Hawk, but a Hellfire costs $400,000, while a Stinger missile, Sean only buys $80,000.
Pablo's old and backward armored car is only a few dollars?
It's not worth it to use Hellfire against that broken armored car.
(The price of arms in the U.S. military is very flexible, the military purchases, their own purchases, and exports, the prices are different, and the export sales are sold to whom, such as the Stinger sold to the Afghans to deal with Lao Maozi's helicopters, the price is cheaper than the purchase for the military, 40,000 US dollars, who makes the Afghans really poor, and it is already a last resort if it is not free.) )
Dennis Abt is not Sean, he doesn't have to think about the cost of fighting, he is just a part-time worker, a battlefield commander, and he has to be held accountable if he doesn't consider the cost.
As for the possible loss of personnel and the issue of bereavement compensation, this is reasonable as long as it does not exceed the appropriate proportion of war damage.
Whether the pension is high or Hellfire is expensive, that is not a question for Dennis to consider, the system is like this.
With an order, several armored vehicles rushed out directly, the roof of the car was opened, and some soldiers carried Stinger missiles, aiming at the enemy armored vehicles for locking and guiding.
Infrared locking guidance is completed, "whoosh", "boom", "whoosh", "whoosh", "boom", "whoosh", "boom"
After all, it is with a locking function, and the distance is relatively close, and the hit rate is not at all comparable to the old RPG-7.
With several armored vehicles on Pablo's side being knocked out, the armored vehicles on the umbrella side began to play a firepower advantage again, with the cooperation of large night vision devices, several semi-hidden underground bunkers could no longer hide, searchlights shone to complete the marking, and under the fierce firepower, the other party could not do it at all if they wanted to jump out and counterattack.
Most RPG weapons cannot be fired in a confined space, otherwise the tail flame will destroy everyone inside.
Receiving the signal that the ground has completed the suppression of fire, the Black Hawk in the sky did not pull down the altitude, the Hellfire has a maximum range of 8 kilometers, if it were not for the limited use of the altitude, Dennis would not mind that they flew higher!
(The AGM-114 loses the ability to intercept targets at operating altitudes above 600 meters, don't ask me why...... )
"Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh", several fires stabbed straight down after slightly adjusting their positions in the sky, like spears thrown by gods, and after the explosion of "boom", several exposed permanent fortification bunkers were directly pierced through the reinforced concrete shell, and then a violent explosion occurred inside.
"Damn it!" In the center of the manor, the major was stunned but helpless, the only weapon in their hands that could threaten the helicopter was the RPG-7, not even a single individual surface-to-air missile.
But if you want to use RPG to fight a helicopter, unless the other party is stupidly hovering in one place and not moving, and the distance is close enough, you don't have to think about it at all.
He suppressed the anger in his heart, and did not order such an unobjectionable attempt, there was no way, the number of RPGs was limited, and it was difficult for Pablo to buy anti-aircraft missiles no matter how rich he was.
It's not about money.
Of course, if there is no one, it is impossible, at least Sean knows that Yuri has sold some to the *** army in Colombia in small quantities, and at ten times the price, it is used against the government air force.
Like that devil bird......
After all, business can last for a long time.
It's just that the number is limited, and even if Pablo had, he wouldn't waste it in this place.
As the attacking troops completely cleared the 300-meter area near the gate and established a defensive line, Dennis ordered that the follow-up large forces were marching in in batches to prepare for a full-scale attack.
……
"Artillery preparation, adjustment of firing unit, 200 meters near the entrance of the target manor, ready for launch!" In the center of the manor, the major ordered.
Pablo didn't just have armored vehicles in his hands, the army equipment was not bad.
Just as the first batch of troop carriers full of paratroop soldiers rushed in, American GIs jumped out of the cars one after another.
"Knock" "Knock" "Knock" "Knock" ......
A series of dense voices sounded in the night sky, hearing this voice, the faces of a group of experienced American soldiers suddenly changed drastically, and they didn't need to give orders from the people above, they just hugged their heads and fell to the ground without saying a word, and they didn't forget to warn them, "Lie down, mortar!"
"Boom", "boom", "boom", "boom", "boom", "boom" dense shells are thrown like raindrops, and clusters of firelight explode, even if the soldiers under the umbrella have been trained for a long time and have conducted a rehearsal on how to deal with mortars, they can face mortar bombardment without cover, and suddenly cause a lot of losses!
"Fake, damn it!" The moment the explosion sounded, Dennis was dizzy, his side had already stopped shelling, I don't want to know, it must be Pablo's artillery attack.
Almost at the same time, the front-line observers reported the situation, it was a mortar!
Damn, how can Pablo have so many mortars in his hands, this thing is so unfriendly to the infantry.
Bill, who was sitting on the sidelines, bowed his head slightly and touched his nose embarrassedly, without asking him how he knew how these mortars came from.
Most of the underground arms market in South America is controlled by Yuri, and I don't know how many mortars have been dumped before and after to *** soldiers and drug criminals, including Pablo.
Who made Pablo the richest and the armed forces the largest.
Besides, the two sides didn't fight before, so they were really good business partners......
At least that's what Yuri thinks, including which second-hand armored vehicles, at least one-third of Pablo's arms are sold by Yuri, and the rest of the troops are from Colombia
The Lumbian military.
Therefore, there is a reason why the Colombian military did not recruit Pablo, how many people count on Pablo to live, and after retiring, they have to go to Pablo to find a job.
Make money, don't bumble!
"Hide in place and find cover!" Dennis ordered loudly, "Helicopters come to the rescue, kill those gunners for me!" ”
In a short period of time, there was a fierce exchange of fire, and the "observation group" on the Colombian side was staggering.
In this round of mortar bombardment, listening to the dense explosions, I am afraid that more than 200 shells have been fired?
Anyway, if the Colombian military was blocked in this way, it would definitely collapse and retreat, and they did not have such a strong will to fight.
On the other hand, the American GIs under the umbrella had done a lot of rehearsals for this situation, and they knew that air support or artillery support would arrive soon, and after withstanding the most intense wave of artillery fire, the soldiers who were still alive immediately began to brave the artillery fire and roll towards the personnel carrier or the nearby armored vehicle that had just come down.
Even if it is the crater left by the previous explosion, as long as you find a decent bunker, the mortar is still more lethal to unprotected targets, and it does not have much ability to attack.
The helicopter in the sky reacted quickly, suddenly lowered the altitude and began to dive, and with the assistance of the infrared night vision device on the plane, it quickly found the mortar team on Pablo's side.
The only problem is that the other party is very scattered, and the reason why it can exert such powerful firepower and shoot accurately is entirely because it has already entered the manor and calculated the firing unit, and this time it can do all this.
Too late to use the lower-cost cannons, the three Black Hawks bombarded the exposed ground targets with rockets.
"Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh"
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"
The helicopter flew at a low speed of 100 meters in the air, and the rocket quickly adjusted the target to complete the strike.
The parachute soldiers on the battlefield at the gate of the manor immediately felt that the frequency of mortar attacks was rapidly decreasing.
……
"RPG, aim for me!"
"Anti-aircraft guns, fire!" On the other side, the major in the manor also immediately made a targeted response.
At an altitude of 100 meters, the low-speed flying Black Hawk has been exposed to the strike range of the RPG, and in the air friction sound of "whoosh", "whoosh", "whoosh", "whoosh", "whoosh", "whoosh", "whoosh", shells soared into the sky, but all missed the target and did not know where to fly.
This is the sorrow of the army when facing the air force, it can't be locked, after all, it just relies on Meng, and the hit rate is simply metaphysics.
Fortunately, the ground-launched RPG also frightened the Black Hawk helicopter and immediately increased its altitude and increased its flight speed, which greatly reduced the accuracy of the rockets that were also unable to lock on to the attack, giving the mortar team on the ground a chance to breathe.
The rapid-fire cannon sound of "Knock knock...", with one tracer bullet every 10 rounds, with the guidance of tracer bullets, the ground cannon quickly adjusted the angle.
Black Hawk is not an Apache after all, the climbing speed, reflexes and other things are too bad, and in the face of the ground threat, they can only quickly pull up and flee.
Of course, it's not that there is no way at all, after pulling up, turn around and use Hellfire to complete the locking of the exposed cannon, "whoosh" "Boom!" ”
In the sound of the explosion, all the cannons on the ground were quickly wiped out.
The major kept receiving news of the battle damage, and the losses were indeed not small, but there was no way to do it, he couldn't watch the enemy helicopter gunships wreak havoc overhead without resisting.
There was no need to fight, just a few helicopter gunships would leave no place for the people on their manor to die.
Fortunately, now the opposing helicopters have become more cautious in fear of losses, and their lethality has been greatly reduced, and the mortar team has survived in large numbers and can exert greater strength in the follow-up ground battle.
……
In the air, only one helicopter was left circling, and the other two had withdrawn from the battlefield for ammunition replenishment, and it was not a game, and the number of rockets and hellfires carried was limited.
On the other side, at the gate of the manor, the intensive mortar bombardment stopped, and only sporadic shells fell.
Reinforcements from the rear rushed up, part of the logistics personnel looking for the wounded immediately sent back, and part of them began to move towards the front with the troops in front
Launched active offensive exploration in three directions.
It's really not that Dennis wants to use refueling tactics, when the Naples manor was designed, he had a premonition that there is today, the surrounding forests are dense, and troop carriers and heavy weapons cannot be transported at all, so you can't just let the soldiers carry guns and storm the enemy position, right?
It's not about playing a game, it's going to be reopened when you die!
"Is it possible to carry out a massive bombing?" Dennis asked with an ugly look on his face when he received the report of battle damage from the front.
In the first wave, 200 people were sent up, and more than 120 were injured, including more than 90 lightly injured, 28 seriously injured, and 32 killed.
This is still a prerequisite for long-term training and proper coping.
The rate of fire from the mortars was so fast that more than 300 shells were dropped in a short time!
The main thing is that there was no chance to find cover, and the enemy's shelling came too quickly.
No way, this is someone's nest.
The losses are too heavy!
"If it was before, it's okay, but now...... Bill shook his head, "It's better not, we received news that most of the buildings in the manor are double-story masonry, hollow inside, and full of money." “
"You know, Pablo didn't dare to put money in the bank, and he has controlled the drug channel over the years and made a lot of money, Forbes ranked him the seventh richest person in the world, which is a fortune of 20 billion dollars!"
"And unlike other rich people, the others are mainly fixed assets, stocks, bonds, etc., while Pablo is all cash."
"After the war, we will pay pensions, and these will come from here." Bill pointed in the direction of the manor and shrugged his shoulders, "Actually, the biggest reason why we launched the attack so early was to raid Pablo's properties near Colombia and Panama. ”
The corners of Dennis's mouth twitched, he didn't know the news beforehand, otherwise he wouldn't have asked such a stupid question.
Those green cuties can't withstand the devastation of bombs, not at all.
"Okay, I see!" Dennis nodded, and the application became more serious, trying not to use high-powered bombs on buildings, but not to pay too much attention to those zoos, playgrounds, horse farms, shooting ranges, etc.
Of course, you can't go too far, and the devil knows if there are any hidden underground structures down there, and they're full of dollars.
Grabbing the communicator, Dennis took a deep breath and said, "Call the Devil Bird Squadron, please reply if you receive it." ”
"Devil Bird Squadron received, over."
"Group A and Group B listened to the order, arrived in the sky over the Naples manor, toured at a low altitude, and killed the opposing combatants without reporting after discovering them." Dennis instructed, "But remember, try not to use rockets, etc., use cannons, and try to avoid those villas." “
"What is required of you is to suppress the enemy's resistance, and our ground combatants can deal with them."
"Group A Devil Bird Squad received!"
"Group B Devil Bird Squad received!"
Ten devil birds drew an arc in the air and swooped down towards the Neapolitan manor.
In about 2 minutes, ten devil birds arrived over the Neapolitan manor, and after dividing their patrol range, they began to fly at a low altitude.
This batch of devil birds has been temporarily equipped with large night vision devices, and it is not difficult to fight at night.
"Buzz!!"
"Buzz!!"
The turboprop plane swept low at altitude, as if it was a bald eagle ready to prey, rubbing against the air and making a loud noise.
From time to time, the 12.7-mm cannon rang out, drawing a death strip in the air.
The dark clouds of death loomed over Pablo's troops!
Although most of them hid in buildings or pre-made bunkers, and did not cause many casualties, the plane hovering overhead, the oppressive feeling that they could only be beaten and unable to fight back, and the oppressive feeling that death could come at any time, still made their determination to resist drain little by little.
As the commander, the major's face was extremely bright, and he couldn't help but start to lose his heart in his heart, isn't this a fucking bully!
In such a small-scale, low-intensity engagement, even if you use three helicopter gunships, you will have 10 fighters!?
Isn't it a bit too much!
That is, no
Let's start with a round of large-scale bombing, otherwise you don't have to fight, just surrender.
The reason for not bombing at the beginning was very simple, 22 square kilometers, the size of most of Macau, if a full bombing would require hundreds of planes, if only bombing buildings, Sean dared to shoot down the people who gave the order.
So, it doesn't make sense......
It is necessary to attack on the ground, to keep buildings and other facilities as intact as possible, it's as simple as that.
Fortunately, the Devil Bird entered the battle, and the helicopter also completed the reloading of ammunition, and then re-lifted into the air, mainly hovering near the entrance of the manor, completely as a fire supplement for ground forces.
The ground forces have also completed the evacuation of the wounded and regrouped.
Dennis changed the execution plan D, and according to the pre-arrangement, the ground forces began to advance straight in the direction of 12 o'clock with air support.
For the dollar, rush the duck!
"Third batch, enter, 2 o'clock direction!"
"Fourth batch, enter, 10 o'clock direction!"
The possible air strike force on Pablo's side has been basically eliminated, and the most that remains is at the individual level.
Helicopters open the way ahead, mainly using large night vision devices to observe the enemy's position, and the ground forces advance according to the results of the reconnaissance ahead.
Of course, this kind of reconnaissance does not detect the enemy 100%, and people hiding in bunkers or bunkers cannot completely detect them.
"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da"
The whole estate was full of fighting, and the guns rang out in a row.
The armored car opened the way, and the soldiers under the umbrella could only advance a little under the cover of the armored car, guarding against the army of drug criminals who could shoot from the darkness at any time.
It is likely that a place that ostensibly looks like a dirt bag is a semi-underground fortress.
22 square kilometers, let alone in the middle of the night, it is impossible to completely search with 800 people even in the daytime.
Bill's request was to follow the road inside the estate, targeting the villas.
No matter how much preparation was put into its construction, it was only where Pablo lived, and they couldn't all have survived underground.
"80 meters ahead, coordinates XXX, XXX, there is an enemy fortress!" A soldier with an umbrella was lying on the ground, holding a walkie-talkie and reporting carefully.
After the report, he took out a small object from behind him and stood on the ground, and a red light shot out and hit the bunker that protruded no more than 1 meter or so.
As soon as the red light shot out, the GI immediately rolled over, then got up and turned to run.
The red light in the bunker was soon spotted, and the gun was immediately turned around and began to fire, but it was not so easy to strafe an object only half the size of a palm from a distance of 80 meters.
A minute later, "whoosh" and "boom!"
An anti-tank missile came from a distance, a puff of smoke and dust rose from the bunker, and the shooting stopped instantly.
Apparently, the bunker has been unplugged.
The purchase price of $400,000 is still too high for a hellfire without a helicopter, and the cost of fighting a war is also fucking considered.
This is not the time when the war has just begun, and the gates of the manor have not yet been stormed.
Therefore, now the Red Arrow-8 from the east is used, the second-generation anti-tank missile, laser-guided, with a high hit rate, and the blasting ability of light fortresses is very good.
At this time, Dennis is no longer in a hurry, there are 10 devil birds patrolling in the sky, and helicopters are assisted, and the ground troops do not need to advance too fast, and safety is the priority.
The role of ground troops, armored vehicles and infantry is more to lure out the enemy troops hiding in the shadows, once the target is found, if there is no cover, directly artillery and helicopters will be greeted, and if there is cover, RPG will be used to blast it open.
If the RPG does not work, then switch to anti-tank missiles and push the interior little by little.
On the other side, while arranging the blocking delay, the major was also organizing a counterattack, how could Pablo not have the power to counterattack after preparing for so long.
