No, the Mi-24V transport module also has a door machine gun. All six people in the two teams have been sent out, so no one has used it yet.
"Knock knock knock"
Anton picked up the HCBT (armored NSV) 12.7mm heavy machine gun that should have been mounted on the T-64 turret and fired a burst at the sand in front of the convoy.
The donkey cart convoy immediately stopped, and the Mi-24Vs circled around on alert. The Super Hornet team then swung out three rappelling cables, and twelve people descended in a flash.
The battle was over, but I never expected there would still be an opportunity to rappel down.
The combat employees really fought their way through the entire operation this time, completely dispelling their resentment at not being able to participate in the last mission.
After unloading the crew, the Super Frelon regained altitude, revealing its right side fuselage.
The CS/LM12 Gatling 6-barrel machine gun, which had been emptied of 1,000 rounds, had been pushed back into place at the hatch. The Strike swing-arm articulated gun stabilizer that Xia Yu had coordinated with Monier, carrying a .338 test sniper rifle, extended out of the hatch.
Xia Yu had been eyeing this helicopter sniper rifle mount platform for a while, but the Fa Jun team didn't have many of them, so he got his hands on this one and mounted it directly on the Super Hornet.
The effect was immediate; someone of his skill level could easily hit the hood of a pickup truck 1200 meters away, let alone an experienced driver like Paul.
"Listen, Pallas's cat, if the other side makes any unusual movements, fire without asking me."
"Yes, boss."
Paul's thermal imaging sights have locked onto the first target; now it's just a matter of whether the other side will give him the chance.
"Bang"
Extremist groups, they won't just sit idly by even with a knife to their throat.
Seeing that the other side had people coming down, and it was obvious that they wouldn't use missiles or rockets to kill them, then of course they should take the opportunity to take two of them down with them.
Unfortunately, their every move could be clearly seen from the sky.
A guy who was reaching for a donkey cart had just pulled out an object that looked like an AK when Paul called him out from the air.
His shot was like a signal; the others no longer hesitated and grabbed their weapons to fight back.
"Bang bang bang"
Unfortunately, it's 4 a.m. Under these conditions, with the AK's effective range of only 400 meters, how can we possibly defeat the three precision shooters with night vision equipment on our side who are focusing their fire on us, not to mention the free-roaming sniper in the sky?
They took out eight of the opposing team members in the first round of gunfights. If they had a suicide car, they wouldn't have been so frustrated, but all they had was a donkey cart that wasn't bulletproof.
"That won't work either. I saw that they fought with some discipline at the old camp and knew some common tactics. Even if that doesn't help, it's still better than these people!"
Having emptied his ammunition and clocked out early, Hans watched the battle from the gunner's compartment at the front, offering his assessment.
"It's probably someone from Masina. The elite Al-Qaeda members were all killed in their pickup trucks; they didn't even have a chance to show their skills."
Xia Yu shared his guess.
That's exactly how it is; the ones who could fight were wiped out in the first wave because they reacted too quickly.
On the contrary, the Masina, whose fighting strength was concentrated on using car bomb tactics, did not enter a counterattack state before the Super Hornets ran out of Gatling gun bullets, so most of them survived.
"This is actually a good thing, especially for the fennec foxes."
The one-sided "massacre" quickly came to an end. The assault troops fired in the general direction to suppress the enemy, while the marksmen provided the main firepower. Less than 40 enemy soldiers were soon lying on the ground.
Even without machine gunners, each person would still have at least one magazine left.
"Bang bang"
They went forward to clean up the battlefield, and regardless of whether the fallen people were alive or not, they shot them in the forehead one by one. The donkeys that were accidentally hit and howled could only be appeased with an extra bullet.
Not every donkey is called BMW, and naturally, they won't be treated the same.
After confirming there was no danger, both helicopters landed on the ground. To the astonishment of the two military pilots, Nikolai carried a body bag down.
The heads in Hamadun are worth $5 million, enough to buy another fully loaded Weasel S30 truck, so all the bodies here need to be recovered.
"Boss, come quick!"
The body could be identified later, but the valuables on the donkey cart were easily found by the employees.
"Cash, lots of cash, in US dollars and euros, in large denominations and small denominations, all from al-Qaeda smuggling, plus Masina's original surplus, it's all here."
There were also boxes of weapons, enough to equip about 100 people. The new camp only had 10 donkey carts, so they didn't take more than they could carry.
"Isn't there gold here?"
Xia Yu inquired.
"No, I've checked all the boxes. Those trucks over there are full of weapons, and even the bullets are scarce. I didn't find any gold."
Christian shook his head in denial.
That might be because in the old camp, a cunning old fox like Belmukhtar had his personnel separated, and perhaps the organization's funds and assets were handled in the same way.
"Mongoose, contact Mole and have the convoy set off now to deliver our excavators."
Xia Yu turned to Hans and said.
The new camp has already been ransacked by Hamadun, so there probably won't be any left to gain. But the old camp is still a sleeping treasure.
Old Berlusconi himself is worth 5 million, not to mention these separately stored valuables.
Those are all spoils of war from concentrated fire defense; we'll dig them up no matter how deep we have to dig them out.
"Oh right, and also Big Yellow and Big Black, and as for cars, bring a Weasel S3 as well."
Military dogs are very helpful in searching for spoils of war, and bringing them along to infantry fighting vehicles is also for safety reasons.
Even after eliminating the two outsiders, Al-Qaeda and Masina, Nizhirko still has local extremist organizations and armed factions. Having a heavy infantry fighting vehicle makes one feel somewhat more at ease.
Furthermore, even if these people don't cause trouble for Jihuo Defense, they are prepared to cause trouble for the other side.
Planning ahead, Xia Yu is already strategizing for a new contract with the US. After all, he wants to earn money in both euros and dollars; he needs to do both well.
If defenses can't squeeze into the Middle East's concentrated firepower, and the chaos has already spread to the US's Afika war zone, shouldn't we increase the budget for that?
This is the keen sense of smell that a businessman should possess.
"Yes, boss!"
Hans was responsible for contacting Kuhn, while Xia Yu arranged for the entire instructor team to stay behind. Both of their helicopters had to go back first and come back after dawn.
"Splash splash"
Andrei took off first in his Super Frelon, stopped in a small town to pick up Lyman and Dundu, and then the Weasel crew returned to Oga with a full haul.
As Xia Yu landed at the camp at dawn, he saw Monier, who had been waiting for him in front of the helipad for a long time.
"Incredible, this is truly incredible. You rescued them unharmed in just one day. It's nothing short of a miracle."
The other party still can't believe it, but the two pilots are standing right in front of him, showing him with facts that it's real.
"Colonel, if it's alright, let's go to the restaurant now and have a meal while we talk. I'm sure our pilots are hungry too."
Xia Yu looked at the two military pilots who had returned to camp and were completely relaxed, and said.
"Yes, yes, let's go have breakfast. Really, there are so many things I want to tell you."
Xia Yu sent the men, covered in gunpowder and blood, back to wash up (and put away their spoils), while she followed Monier to the restaurant.
"So that's how it is. The people who attacked the Americans were remnants of the Nasser independence movement, who used smuggled Starlight to shoot down the Mirage-2000D."
The freshly baked baguette wasn't too hard. After eating half of it and two fried eggs, he finally picked up his coffee and spoke to Monier.
"Who would have thought they went to Niger? This Belmukhtar is too cunning."
Old Mo couldn't imagine that an organization could go to two extremes, but isn't that how "married couples" are, sticking together for warmth?
If the current crackdown continues, more extremist groups will choose to merge and then separate due to ideological conflicts.
"That's not all, they also took in Hamadun and Masina, no wonder those guys disappeared without a trace in Mari."
Xia Yu added.
"And what about them..."
Monier became excited.
"Yes, we wiped them out completely. It was a coincidence. The company was short-handed, but their convoy of vehicles just happened to run into our returning fleet."
"Colonel, your bounty is still valid."
Xia Yu asked the other party.
"Of course, but Mr. Sherlock, I'm a little jealous of you now. Your company's profits this time must be very substantial!"
Hamadun is worth 5 million euros, and the clearing of Masina will be settled separately. Jihuo Defense has done so many deals in one operation that is equivalent to other companies patrolling for a whole month.
It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy!
"It's all luck. Who knew they would get involved? Also, this time, we didn't have much cash income, so I asked the Americans for equipment."
Xia Yu shifted the topic to equipment, because when he settled accounts with the Germans, he also didn't intend to take all cash.
He had already warned Lao Mo beforehand, and the other party had indicated that he could consider it.
After all, rumors were circulating that they had contacted the wrong person and made a blunder, but now that Masina has been eliminated, no one will complain anymore!
After helping Americans save face, Jihuo Defense has now helped Americans regain their dignity. Their reasonable demands should naturally be met.
With enough groundwork laid, Xia Yu finally decided to get to the main topic of the day.
"With tactical transport helicopters like the CH-47D, we still need a fixed-wing tactical transport aircraft."
This is a rare opportunity. Let's put aside the personnel for now. He wants to make up for the equipment the company is lacking by getting any he can.
The problem of helicopters can be solved with the help of Americans, but fixed-wing transport aircraft will have to be solved by Americans.
After all, the C-5 and C-17 are impractical to even think about, and frankly, there are so many ways to get the C-130, there's no need to waste this opportunity.
Furthermore, for concentrated fire defense, the four-engine C-130 is not a suitable choice.
With two more engines, maintenance time doubles.
Even if Xia Yu can use the system for maintenance, he really can't rely on the system for everything.
For the second and third phases of the museum project, he had to start planning to build a dedicated aircraft maintenance team to take care of the dazzling array of aircraft.
This team also has the task of maintaining the aircraft used by Jihuo Defense, so it is necessary to take into account the maintenance issues when selecting transport aircraft models.
A two-engine light tactical transport aircraft would be a good option, although the cargo hold of a two-engine aircraft is a bit small.
After consulting the materials, Xia Yu suddenly discovered a twin-engine transport aircraft whose capacity seemed to be not much less than that of the C-130.
That's right, it's the C-160 transport aircraft jointly developed by Germany and France, nicknamed the C-130 Youth Edition.
However, Xia Yu prefers to call it the Hercules Mini, because two sections are better than four. Its cargo hold space is 13.51 meters x 3.15 meters x 2.98 meters. While its payload is a few tons less, can you believe the C-160's cargo hold is larger than the C-130H's?
Only the C-130J, with dimensions of 16.9 meters x 3.12 meters x 2.74 meters, can outperform the C-160. But even a used C-130J, let alone a new one, would sell for hundreds of millions of dollars. By all accounts, the Y-8 is more cost-effective.
For under 50 million, you can bring a brand new Y-8 home.
As for concentrated fire defense, Xia Yu has already discussed it with his hometown. He needs support once the C-160s from the Germans are acquired.
"You want a C-160?"
Lao Mo confirmed with Xia Yu.
"Yes, twin-engine tactical transport aircraft are more suitable for small companies like ours."
The museum is a subsidiary, a fire defense company with fewer than 50 full-time employees; it is indeed a small company.
Xia Yu estimates that even if the company expands again, it will still not exceed 100 people, still less than a platoon.
Having a C-160 means you can bring the whole company.
Of course, it would be better to go separately. Xia Yu didn't want to be wiped out by anti-aircraft missiles. Even with the F-111's ejection cockpit, there were only two seats.
"I can't give you an answer right away. I don't know much about the Air Force's equipment either. I will convey your message to my superiors. It shouldn't be a big problem."
Old Mo gave a very official answer.
However, the problem is not serious. Apart from a few electronic warfare C-160s, they are replacing this old twin-engine aircraft with the A-400M, which has a larger payload.
Apart from the first batch, which was completely dismantled due to its age, the newer units were all sealed and stored.
Allocating one to the Central Firepower Defense Force is not difficult. As for the price of the transport aircraft, since the Chinese upgraded it in mid-1999, the internal price of 10 million euros is still required.
It could fetch around 18 million if sold to the public, which is slightly more expensive than a used C130h.
When it comes to the contract payment for Jihuo Defense, it should naturally be based on the internal price. But to be honest, this price is much cheaper than a Chinook!
After offsetting the costs, the French will still have to pay him over ten million euros, since saving lives is expensive, and the blows are not cheap either.
"Then I'll wait for your good news. Also, the two-day war zone patrol contract has to be suspended for now. My men need to go to Niger to clean up the mess."
Xia Yu continued.
Compared to looting spoils, patrolling the war zone only costs a few dollars; anyone can do the math.
"Okay, after this period of intense crackdown, these guys should be able to calm down until next year. I can finally catch my breath and spend Christmas with my family."
Before we know it, Christmas is just around the corner, and the Spring Festival seems to be at the end of January, which will be soon too.
