Chapter 633: A Useful Pickup

Even Japanese manufacturers may not know how much of a contribution Toyota's Hilux pickup truck has played in this battle.

It first ran through the desert with missiles and rockets, destroying dozens of tanks, and then transported a large number of infantry to participate in street fighting. Look at the book

In the end, dozens of pickup trucks circled the desert for hundreds of kilometers and successfully appeared in the other direction of Fada City.

"We're here!"

Looking at the thick layer of sand on the car, the commander of the 7th Brigade of the Chadian National Army also breathed a sigh of relief as if he had survived the catastrophe.

His brigade was supposed to be directly involved in the battle for Fada, but it also needed manpower to block the back of the Libyans, so the 7th Brigade, which set off last, became the one everyone was looking forward to.

In order to avoid the defense and vigilance of the Libyans, his brigade even passed through the territory of Sudan, circumnavigated the desert for hundreds of kilometers, overcame difficulties and dangers such as lack of water and lost along the way, and finally succeeded in reaching the back of the Libyan army.

Although the Seventh Brigade was not yet formed, the total number of people was less than two and a half companies, but for the brigade commander, this was enough, thinking that at the beginning, when he was in the Vulcan Army, there were only a dozen people under his command, and he still shook off the pursuit of hundreds of Libyans.

And now, he has more than 200 people under his command, and more than 40 Haylux pickup trucks, which are used to deal with thousands of Libyans, and there is no need to be afraid, after all, in the frontal battlefield, there are more of them!

The Seventh Brigade first intercepted a Libyan logistics support convoy, captured more than a dozen soldiers, and captured three truckloads of canned food and dozens of bags of rice and noodles, and then the brigade commander planned to lead people straight to the Libyan rear.

As a result, when he arrived outside the city, he found that the Libyans artillery positions on the high ground outside the city seemed to be better than the headquarters.

Thinking about the previously captured Libyan soldiers and the captured trucks, the brigade commander immediately had a bold idea.

He had his men mount machine guns on the trucks, and the soldiers to change into Libyanian uniforms, but with a white towel on their arms for identification, and then used the trucks to head and drive towards the artillery positions.

Behind the Libyan trucks are more than a dozen Hylux pickup trucks equipped with large-caliber shield machine guns, all of which are equipped with steel plates at key locations to resist some grenade fragments or something.

The Libyan soldiers on guard outside the artillery position also let down their guard after seeing their truck approaching, and prepared to stop it for inspection.

It's just that when the soldiers approached, they were greeted not by greetings, but by loaded machine guns.

The Chadians placed several Type 80 general-purpose machine guns on the truck, front, back, left and right, which could take care of all directions.

The Libyans were caught off guard by the sudden attack, and many soldiers were knocked to the ground before they could even enter the bunkers.

At the same time as the shots rang out, Chadian soldiers drove their trucks across the cordon and made way for pickup trucks behind.

A significant number of these pickups were equipped with two heavy machine guns, which may date back to the Fourth Republic, when the French received a considerable amount of American weapons, although they were later sent to the colonies as aid.

Although the age and wear and tear of these machine guns have led to a decrease in the performance of these machine guns, and the accuracy and firing range are much less than before, but now the distance between the pickup truck and the Libyans is only a few tens of meters, so these are not problems.

After rushing into the artillery positions like hungry wolves in sheepfolds, the pickup trucks began to run wildly, while the machine gunners in the bodies clutched their machine guns and fired at every Libyanian they could see.

Under the raid, many Libyan artillerymen did not even wear the upper half of their clothes, let alone weapons for self-defense, and the rifles were neatly stacked behind the artillery positions because they could not hinder the carrying of shells.

Only a few artillerymen had such a pistol for self-defense at hand, but machine guns and pistols were naturally large calibers and long tubes.

It was simply unrealistic for the Libyan artillerymen to get their guns, and a large number of them were so wounded by machine guns and fell to the ground.

A few of them started running away, but how could their legs run over four wheels, and the Chadians hit and beat them, and quickly killed these guys.

More infantry then arrived in pickups, and in a very short time the entire artillery position was suppressed, and the rebels were either killed or captured, although the Chadians also had dozens of casualties, but the Libyans died even more, and the guards guarding the artillery were almost completely wiped out, and the artillery was also seventy percent dead.

After taking the artillery position, the Chadian brigade commander wanted to blow up all these 122-mm cannons, but when his men were about to install explosives, he suddenly had an idea.

The brigade commander had his men kidnap several Libyan artillerymen and threaten them with guns to retarget the artillery and aim it at the Libyan troops in the city.

After a dozen deaths, someone finally got ready to cooperate and changed the direction of the artillery, and then the Chadians began to use the artillery to shell the Libyan army in the city.

The already crumbling Libyan army was still fighting with the Chadians in the city, and planned to rely on artillery to crush the other side, but unexpectedly, the shells ended up on their heads.

The medical clinic set up by the Libyans on the outskirts of the city was instantly bombed into a sea of fire, and even the headquarters was washed by shells, but fortunately, the place was safe and strong enough, so the Libyan commander was not a big deal.

But their field hospital is completely finished, and the Chadian army, although nominally a regular army, still does a lot of killing prisoners and torture prisoners, let alone shelling medical facilities, for them, killing Libyans is the most important thing, who cares whether it is an intact Libyans or a Libyans with broken legs.

"Keep fighting, fight hard, get me all the shells out!"

Seeing the Libyans in the city surrounded by a sea of fire, the Chadian army outside the city was so excited that some even wanted to come forward and beg the gunner to stop fighting, and give him a shot, a shot.

Then this guy was driven back, and now the Libyans have not reacted, so they must hurry up and fire a few more cannons, and when they react and send troops to recapture the artillery positions, then these Chadian soldiers can only run away!

So now, we must cherish time even more, if you can shoot one more shot, if you can finish the shell, it will be a big victory!
