Chapter 657: A Kind Businessman
Inside a house on the south side of Mosul......
Amir, a veteran of the Iraqi government army who monitors the situation in Mosul, is leading a team to monitor the situation in the city of Mosul in the distance.
As the first rays of the morning sun shone into Mosul, Amir stood at the window and said a few words of prayer symbolically completed, then set his eyes on the road behind their house.
A young curly-haired young man approached Amir's side and said, "Daddy, when will our breakfast be delivered, I love those mutton soup and scallion shortbread so much."
The day before yesterday, the big man said there would be a new dish today, what did you say it would be? ”
Amir licked his dry lips and said, "I don't guess, I like it as long as it's hot."
The P· The people in Company B are very good, but it's a pity that they are only responsible for delivering food, otherwise we can end this damn war sooner and go home sooner. ”
When the curly-haired young man heard this, he showed a fierce look on his face and said, "No, I'm going to kill a few Isis people with my own hands, they killed my family.
These bastards are inhumane at all! ”
Amir looked at the young man with vicissitudes of life, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slightly and said, "It's not bad to keep hatred for Isis, but don't let revenge be the whole of life."
Kana Khan, you can't stay in the army for the rest of your life, go to school if you have the chance, and your life will go on......
You can go to Baghdad to get a job and marry a woman you like. ”
The young Kana Khan shook his head and said, "No, I will continue to stay in the army, and I will watch the people of Isis be wiped out."
Blood debt must be paid with blood! ”
When Amir heard this, he did not continue to persuade, but shook his head and said: "Isis is gone, and there will be other people popping up......"
As Amir spoke, several trucks suddenly drove out of the city of Mosul......
Hearing the call of the sentry on the rooftop, Amir rushed out and took a look at the binoculars, then waved his hand and shouted: "Don't shoot, I know the driver, he is his own ......"
A few minutes after Amir finished speaking, the two trucks drove into the open space near the outpost, and then several soldiers jumped out of the car, and their eyes numb began to move the corpses in the car outward......
Amir knew at a glance that the situation in the city was bad, and this was the second batch of corpses he had seen transported in the last three days.
After a slap on the arm of Kana Khan, who was a little stunned, Amir beckoned the soldiers at the outpost to come up and help, unloaded the corpses from the car and lined them up on the ground, and then covered them with a white cloth......
There were more than forty corpses in total, and Amir was used to such a scene, and he stopped for a moment at the head of each corpse to make a final send-off for these comrades with prayers......
Kana Khan was infected, holding his hands on his chest and looking down at his palms, muttering a few verses of the scriptures in his mouth.
Just as they were gathering the bodies, an armed Humvee drove up from behind, escorting a pickup truck......
See the P· B, Amir smiled......
He found a bottle of water to rinse his hands, then beckoned to several soldiers who were transporting the corpses, and said, "Follow me, our breakfast is here......"
Kanakhan was uncomfortable with Amir's 'indifference', as if the solemn Amir had been just an illusion on his part.
The young man could never understand Amir's numbness, and he chased after Amir and said, "Daddy, we're going to eat like this, then ...... them"
Amir glanced back at Kana Khan, a smile appeared on his wrinkled old face, and said, "Just let them stay there, someone will come and take them home." ”
As he spoke, Amir sniffed and said, "I seem to smell the mutton soup, oh, and the potatoes and beef......
P· B's chef doesn't use curry to make this dish, but it tastes better.
Hurry up, we're going to help, P· Person B is willing to stand guard for us, and we take advantage of this time to take a little rest. ”
When Fried Candy got out of the Humvee, he saw corpses neatly laid on the ground not far away......
He frowned and waved his hand to a few little blacks, and moved the two stainless steel iron drums from the car......
Looking at Amir who ran over, 'Fried Candy' took out a brand-new military lunch box and handed it to Amir, saying, "You said that you have never used it, I have received an extra one, and this one will be given to you." ”
Amir was pleasantly surprised to take over the all-stainless steel fabrication, with a P· The lunch box marked with B was touched with calloused hands and said gratefully: "Thank you, child, Allah will bless you!" ”
'Fried Sugar' didn't believe this, he just thought that Amir's poor old man in his sixties still had to go into battle, which made this cooking soldier who grew up under the red flag very unaccustomed.
Hua Guo's young people were generally not used to the thanks from the old man, he waved his hand and said: "Today we made mutton soup, scallion pancakes and potatoes and beef, and the vegetables will not arrive in these two days, so you will take a break."
You're the last stop, and you should have enough to eat for two days.
Give me back the bucket you left here last time, and I'll come back the day after tomorrow. ”
Amir listened, and felt that his teammates had moved out the two cleaned and polished stainless steel buckets, and offered to help deliver them to the pickup truck, and then rubbed his hands and looked at the 'fried sugar' and said, "Child, can you send more food in the future?"
There are still our people in the city of Mosul, and every time they want something hot they have to venture to me, we don't have enough food. ”
When he heard this, he shook his head and said, "It's all based on the number of heads, but I've already won it for you, and your ration is much more than that of other teams." ”
Saying 'fried sugar', looking at Amir's expression of disappointment or helplessness, he smashed his mouth and said: "Your commander is also stupid, we asked them how many people are in the city, and they can't figure it out themselves."
So, if you can count the number of people in the city, and give me your name, I will go to your chief and ask him to sign and confess.
How can there be a war that does not feed people? ”
Amir nodded vigorously and said, "No problem, no problem, let's make it up, no, let's go count ......"
Regardless of Amir's speech, he waved his hand and said, "You go to dinner, and we will stand guard for you."
This is P· B's additional service, when we are familiar with the road conditions in the future, as long as your governor is willing to sign and add money, it is not impossible for us to go into the city to deliver food. ”
Amir was stunned for a moment, then stroked his chest and saluted, greeting his own person to feel that the meal was open, don't let P· Person B is still very dangerous here.
It didn't matter, he climbed up a rudimentary wooden ladder to the top of the small building, crouched behind a row of half-man-high bunkers, and stared at Mosul with his old machine gun.
It was a meat grinder, and in just one week, several major mercenary companies had lost more than 60 people there, and the Iraqi government forces had suffered even more heavy losses.
It was really a house-by-house fight, and those Isis were very tenacious and desperate.
They control the city's main thoroughfares to the death, and anyone who tries to enter or evacuate will be killed by them.
Under the cover of civilians, Isis did not fall behind in the face of government troops and mercenaries without air support, but relied on his familiarity with the city to fight several beautiful battles one after another.
P· The 30 155-mm self-propelled howitzers that B delivered to the base, as well as a large number of air-burst shells, became a lifesaver for those mercenaries.
High-explosive grenades are not usable, as there is a risk of injuring civilians if they hit a building.
Only this kind of grenade, which will explode at an altitude of about 20 meters, can be used, because as long as there is a war, civilians will consciously hide in their houses, as long as the houses are not collapsed, shrapnel does not pose much threat to the people in the house.
At first, Isis's people were not used to it, but when they discovered the pattern, they learned how to dodge the damage of airburst bombs.
However, even if the effect of the airburst bomb is discounted, P· B's 15,000 rounds of airburst shells still have to be fired more than 40 rounds a day, just to cover the attack or retreat of those mercenaries.
Although this price made the major mercenary companies complain, the mercenaries who participated in the battle in the front did not have a soft mouth, and the guy in charge of signing the money in the rear did not dare to slack off.
Because once you snub it, you may be shot by those grumpy mercenaries, and the most important thing is P· B's asking price is not excessive.
However, after a few days in a row, those mercenary companies are still a little overwhelmed, everyone is here to fight and make money, and if it goes on like this, maybe they will have to post money, how can this work?
They are discussing a joint agreement with P· B negotiate, let them pull out the 120-mm mortar......
Titan said that it can give away a set of advanced sighting system and fire control system for free, as long as P· Person B can actually have a similar effect by changing the fuse of the mortar shell.
The war without air support is too hard to fight, everyone has helicopters, but now they are still waiting in line at the ports of the Persian Gulf to go ashore, and they don't know how many days it will take to get here. B helps.
'Fried Sugar' with P· B has not been for a long time, but he has experienced two places, Libya and Iraq, and has completely lost his sense of awe for these so-called world-class mercenaries.
No matter how awesome the resume is, no matter how high the asking price is, it is indispensable to cry for your father and mother when you enter Mosul.
Just when the 'fried sugar' belly scolded the mercenaries for not giving their strength, a 'whoosh' sounded came, and a shot hit the cover on his side, exploding a small hole.
Unable to see where the enemy was, he turned the muzzle of his machine gun and pulled the trigger in the direction of the possible enemy, and then regretfully found that the machine gun was jammed......
'Slot ......'
Throwing away the machine gun and scolding, Fried Candy immediately crouched down and picked up his rifle, and then he felt his helmet vibrate......
Another bullet hit the low wall in front of him just now, and the flying rubble startled Fried Sugar.
That's when he realized that he had met a master......
"Sniper, find cover ......"
Saying 'fried sugar', he quickly crawled to the side, reached the edge of the roof and shouted to Amir, who rushed out below: "All into the house, all into the house, there are masters......"
Amir was stunned for a moment, took out a periscope-shaped telescope from his arms and threw it on the roof of the building, shouting: "Don't look up, wait for me to find a way to cover you, you are going downstairs ......"
'Fried Sugar' picked up the periscope and tried it, then quickly climbed to the position just now, lay on the ground and slowly poked the periscope out, pressed the communicator while observing, and said: "This is 'Fried Sugar', I met a sniper, apply for artillery support......"
As he said 'fried sugar', he looked through the periscope and found that there were many figures in several factory-like buildings on the edge of the city of Mosul......
"Fuck, why are you fighting and pushing it again?"
As he spoke, 'Fried Sugar' reported the location to the people at the base, wanting to wait for the artillery to cover and then hurry downstairs......
'Fried sugar' is not in a hurry, but Amir downstairs is a little anxious.
The young man on the roof was one of the few people who really cared about them, and if something happened to him, the outpost might never be supported again.
The old guy rushed up to the second floor with a PKM machine gun in his arms, clinging to the window, stretching his legs outstretched, observing the situation in the distance with a mirror glued to his toes.
The two sides were less than 400 meters apart, and Amir could only see a rough outline......
Just when the old man was starting to get a little anxious to take the risk of shooting to attract attention, there was a sudden sound of a helicopter in the sky......
The sound of several missile launches was heard, and a violent explosion occurred in the building a few hundred meters away, and thick smoke instantly covered the area......
'Fried Sugar' watched as four small antelopes flew over his head, and four hellfire shots hit the upper floors of the building with precision, and one even penetrated the window, causing an explosion inside the building.
'Fried Sugar' got up decisively and trotted to the edge of the roof, riding down the wooden ladder.
The moment he landed, a familiar voice sounded over the communicator......
"Hellfire 100,000 shots, thank you for your patronage!"
'Fried Sugar' was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand at the helicopter with cheers, and shouted: "Elephants, blow them up, blow them up, there's a master ...... inside"
With the call of 'Fried Sugar', four more Hellfires were fired......
At this time, Choga was shaking hands with the representatives of the mercenaries in the Mosul base......
“P· B Air Force is always happy to serve everyone! ”
"20,000 sorties by helicopters, 100,000 rounds of Hellfire, 5,000 machine gunners covering."
"30,000 sorties of propeller fighters, 80,000 Blue Sword 7 missiles, and 10,000 aerial bombs."
"The L-159 jet fighter, 300,000 sorties, and more advanced missiles still need to wait for the arrival of the goods before the price can be calculated."
The person with the triple canopy had met with Qiaojia, and this guy said with a bitter face: "Sir, is it possible to go to the rocket nest, we can provide rocket ...... ourselves"
Qiao Jia looked at a group of childish guys with disgust, and said: "'Bring your own drink' is another price, and the 'corkage fee' is not cheap!"
It's all about eating together, everyone understands each other and tolerates each other! ”
