Firepower is king

It was the first time in my life to ride in an armored vehicle, and I didn’t feel too good about it. After all, military combat vehicles like armored vehicles are not made for enjoyment.

It was a bit bumpy because there were a lot of big potholes and gravel and broken bricks on the road, but the most important thing was that I was sitting in an iron can, thinking that I might be hit by a rocket fired from nowhere, which made Gao Guang feel a little anxious.

There are some things that you really don’t know how to feel until you experience them once.

Yadlev is also an arms dealer, and when he just attacked Salah's convoy, he used more than one rocket launcher.

But in a Stryker armored vehicle, at least you don't have to worry about stray bullets, snipers, or small mines.

The armored vehicles advance very slowly because they have to move with the infantry and cannot move too fast.

Gao Guang thought it was okay, but Hank was a little impatient. He said to the commander sitting opposite: "Can you speed up a little? I have a meeting to hold when I get back."

Sitting opposite Hank was a captain. He was fully armed, wearing a heavy body armor and a helmet, but judging from the half of his face exposed, he was quite young.

"Sir, we don't know much about the enemy. We don't know how many there are or what kind of firepower they have, so it's better to be careful. I don't want any of my brothers to be injured before we are about to be transferred. "

The captain refused Hank's request to speed up the progress, but he seemed very polite, but Hank just spread his hands and said: "Don't call me sir, are you going on leave?"

"Yes, sir, I have three months' leave."

"Very good. Are you married? Do you have children?"

"I'm not married, I don't have a girlfriend at the moment."

"very good."

Gao Guang didn't know what was the benefit of not having a girlfriend, but he saw Hank take out a pen from his pocket and write something hastily in a small notebook. Then he looked up at the captain and said: "About this time What do you know about action?”

"Well, not a lot, but I know a few things, like... there will be extra combat perks."

Extra combat perks are certainly a good name for extra money.

Hank smiled. From the captain's answer, he knew the extent of his involvement. Since he knew there were additional combat allowances, he was one of his own, at least not an outsider.

Hank continued to write something in the notebook, and he said loudly: "I like enterprising young people. Where do you want to go on vacation? Is there any place you like?"

"Well, I might go back to my hometown for a while and go somewhere for fun, but I don't have anywhere in particular that I want to go to, or I don't know where to go on vacation."

Hank nodded, then he tore off the note he wrote, handed it to the captain, and said: "Make this call after you return home and go to Hawaii for a vacation. Someone will entertain you. It's time to enjoy your vacation, 豼You can bring a female companion, but I strongly recommend that you go alone.”

The captain took the note and looked a little confused. Hank put the paper and pen back into his pocket and said with a smile: "This is a benefit in addition to the additional combat allowance."

The captain carefully put away the note, then he looked at the highlight next to Hank. After hesitating for a moment, he still said: "Who is this gentleman?"

Gao Guang was in the armored car, and Mike and the others were also there, so the captain was a little worried about Hank saying this in front of several obvious outsiders.

Hank immediately said: "Mad Dog, President of King Defense Group, if you want to find a job for your retired brother, you are right to find him."

Gao Guang extended his hand to the captain, and the captain shook his hand and said, "Hello."

He didn't announce his name, so it seemed that he didn't intend to have in-depth communication with Gao Guang, but that didn't matter. Under the current situation, this kind of attitude was normal.

At this time, the armored vehicle had an obvious brake, and its already slow speed almost stopped completely.

The radio system on the armored vehicle has established direct communication with the helicopter in the air, and the captain and his people also have their own radio frequency band, so even if they are face to face and sitting in the same armored vehicle, they still have at least several sets. It is actually a little difficult to achieve independent communication systems without interfering with each other.

Gao Guang really didn't know what the captain heard in his headset.

"Sir, there was resistance ahead. Someone tried to fire a rocket launcher, but he was killed."

Hank spread his hands towards the high light and said: "Our enemies are very stubborn and must be eliminated all."

The captain said again: "Sir, I have to get out of the car."

Hank smiled and said: "Okay, you can do your own thing and we can make arrangements by ourselves."

The armored vehicle door opened, and the captain left the armored vehicle, but Hank turned to look at Gao Guang and said, "What do you want to do? Do you want to get out?"

Gao Guang whispered: "Go down and take a look, it's quite boring sitting here."

"You go ahead, I'm in the car, see you later."

Gao Guang and Mike also left the armored vehicle, and then he saw about twenty people from the Rangers advancing behind the armored vehicle, and the captain just now was holding a gun in one hand and was arranging something for his men.

In the ranks of the U.S. Army, the Rangers are a very special entity. This team is not a special forces, but it is not a conventional force either. It is somewhere between conventional forces and special forces. Like the special forces, it is a light infantry, but However, it mainly performs frontal combat tasks. Its biggest feature is that it is easy to deploy quickly. It is often the first unit to arrive and go into combat.

Therefore, the Rangers are more accustomed to fighting on the ground. Armored vehicles are just one of many transportation options, not the main combat weapon.

Now the Rangers are about to deploy. They may not carry out offensive operations, but they will not hide in armored vehicles all the time. After all, if they want to make meritorious deeds, it is better to have close-quarters combat scenes.

Gunfire can be heard in the high light. In tonight's battle, gunfire was very, very sparse. As the party launching the attack, they really didn't use guns. Most of the problems were solved with missiles and cannons. .

Now I finally have the opportunity to see how the Rangers fight. This opportunity is rare.

There are ruins all around, but there are a few relatively complete houses not far ahead, which have obviously been restored. I just don’t know what the specific purpose is, but it must make sense for Yadlev to choose this place to stay temporarily. .

The men of the Black Sea Mercenary Group were further forward. They were still advancing slowly, alternating between piles of ruins that could only be called construction debris.

The person at the front suddenly stopped and gestured to the people behind. Then, a series of bullets flashed from the front of the highlight, and continuous gunshots rang out again.

Gao Guang adjusted the walkie-talkie. He now wanted to use two frequencies for short calls, which meant he could both talk to the Black Sea Mercenary Group and Hank.

Gao Guang heard Kuzsayev shouting something on the intercom, but he couldn't understand it, so he looked at Paul.

Without waiting for Gao Guang to speak, Paul also adjusted the walkie-talkie and whispered: "Boss, he said there are machine guns in front, and he asked to use a rocket launcher to deal with them."

"Let's go over and have a look."

There was really no danger coming, and the Rangers all started to trot forward. Gao Guang had nothing to be afraid of. He quickened his pace until he climbed up a pile of rotten bricks, and then lay down on Kurtz. Sayev's side.

Realizing that the bright light had reached his side, Kuzsayev pointed to a house that seemed relatively intact but had only been damaged in the air strike and said: "There is a machine gunner there. They can't get out, but we As long as someone shows up, the machine gun will shoot."

A house that can still exist after years of war in Mosul must be very strong.

Although he lacks a sense of participation, this is the first time Gao Guang has faced a real battlefield. This is not a shootout with bodyguards blocking guns, nor is it a close-range headshot battle. This is a battle where machine guns, artillery and rocket launchers come into play, regardless of how many enemies there are. , this is real street fighting.

A man from the Black Sea Mercenary Group, carrying a Gustav recoilless rifle, popped up on the top of the ruins. After a brief aiming, with a roar, the rocket went straight towards the motionless house.

This is a very precise strike. The rockets are used to directly hit the basement where the machine gunner is hiding or the security guard. After killing him directly, the passage is naturally opened. It is the most common point attack in street fighting. There is nothing to say.

Kuzsayev was very satisfied when he saw that the rocket exploded at the place where he had just fired. He whispered: "Let's do a tentative attack to see if the machine gunner is dead."

At this moment, the armored vehicle that had stopped started again and began to pour artillery shells towards the hiding position of the machine gunner. However, the machine gunner still showed no response. After firing a few shells, Kuzsayev finally said: " superior."

The two men left their hiding position, but as soon as they emerged, the silent shooting port suddenly burst into flames.

The distance was about a hundred meters, and with the sound of machine guns, the two members of the Black Sea mercenary group fell onto the broken bricks almost at the same time.

It's just different on this battlefield.

Gao Guang really thought that the machine gunner was dead, but he didn't expect the machine gun to fire again. Now he thought that the two men from the Black Sea Mercenary Group who were tentatively moving forward were dead, but he found that the two men were rolling and crawling. rolled down from the ruins.

Learning some things in a training camp for a year is not as good as walking around on this real battlefield.

Kuzsayev seemed to be used to this situation, and he started to yell again, but Paul quickly said: "He said that the enemy's bunker is very strong, and the machine gunners suppress it, and go around from both sides to solve it." enemy."

Kuzsayev seemed not to waste the rocket launcher. He wanted to use the most primitive but also most reliable way to deal with the enemy, but at this time, Hank's call was heard in the high-gloss headphones.

"Mad dog, tell your people not to move. This opportunity is too rare to miss!"

Gao Guang asked in confusion: "What do you mean? Do the Rangers want to solve it personally?"

"Yes, but we also need to give our air force brothers a chance to perform. Everyone retreats two hundred meters and uses laser-guided bombs."

Gao Guang said anxiously: "We also need to use laser-guided bombs? Is it necessary? That place is too close to our truck. What should we do if the things blow up? If the goods are damaged, we will deduct money!"

Hank was silent for a moment, and then he finally said: "There is no reason to bring the bombs back. Let me communicate and drive all the cars away as soon as possible, and then bomb them again. Oh, it's troublesome, but this is the only way. "
