"Calling the Roaring Eagle, this is the Yellow Weasel, reporting the latest situation."
Xia Yu contacted the drone ground control station located in Busa.
The Sparrowhawk A had just taken over the airspace of the town where the anti-Baraka headquarters was located. That was not its main battlefield. The Mi-24V was going to strike Mocom's reinforcements.
It was a large armed force with territory spanning four or five provinces. The other side was more powerful and cohesive than the superficial People's Revival Front, but its personnel were just as scattered.
Each key town is guarded by dozens or even hundreds of people. Not counting the branch offices, the total number is close to a thousand, making them a force to be reckoned with.
A single burst of firepower from a Deer-Tiger aircraft could cripple or destroy two or three reinforcements, but in the vast darkness, only by relying on the guidance of the Roaring Eagle could one of them be located, for example…
"All the personnel stationed in Bosanga were mobilized. More than 200 of them traveled in 12 pickup trucks and 3 light trucks towards the headquarters."
This is the largest force stationed outside the anti-Baraka headquarters, and also the first target that the Roaring Eagles prioritized. It was locked onto by thermal imaging shortly after leaving its base.
"I'm coming right now!"
When they got within 1 kilometer, the machine gun turret began to roar.
Some of them threw away their AKs and lost their flip-flops, but they still couldn't escape the judgment of bullets.
Xia Yu leans towards the latter approach. Unable to achieve reconciliation like Lu Wangda, strengthening the military to completely eliminate these opposition armed groups is the best course of action.
Yes, $1.825 billion.
Xia Yu fired a second anti-tank missile, destroying a second light truck; those that were slower were directly overturned to the ground by the blast wave.
Bunkers can provide a sense of security, but when facing a 12.7mm tungsten-core armor-piercing round, isn't a tree less than a meter in diameter a bit too weak?
"beep"
What was Ke Zhongfei's GDP for the whole of last year?
"Boom boom boom boom"
"Air raid! It's an air raid! Everyone get off the bus!"
A short burst of 25 rounds pierced through the tree along with the person. It's a pity about this Philippine mulberry tree; it would have been great to cut it into planks for making wood flooring. One burst turned it into waste.
However, this also means that the other side has entered the range of the rocket.
"beep"
"call out"
Since you've chosen to pick up a gun, you have to be prepared to be killed. But as life truly begins its countdown, the cruelty and brutality of the past instantly turn into a mix of regret and remorse.
After replacing the engine with the BK-2500, the power of the Deer Tiger increased by more than 10% compared to the original TB3-117. In addition to a higher service ceiling and greater load capacity, it also brought faster speeds.
Given the scale of the concentrated fire defense system in two or three years, a comprehensive, multi-layered, and three-dimensional strike could be launched, costing around three to five hundred million US dollars to completely resolve the situation.
These are lessons learned at the cost of lives: when encountering an attack helicopter, get out of the vehicle immediately, the farther the better.
Without resorting to drastic measures to boost scores, the basic guarantee is simply eliminating 50% of the population.
"call out"
They couldn't afford the money, and in the end they would have to use the mineral resources as collateral.
Temporarily ignoring the vehicle targets, Xia Yu aimed at the densely populated areas and fired rocket after rocket.
A series of explosions engulfed these warriors of God. Their religious faith did not make them invulnerable; on the contrary, their lack of protective gear caused them to perish even faster.
The Gatling guns roared rhythmically, sending these soldiers, whose hands were stained with the blood of civilians, to meet their Black God.
Of course, no one can say for sure what will happen in two or three years. Zhong Fei may achieve true peace, or things may remain as they are now.
Xia Yu fought against other armed groups, basically wiping out their headquarters, and all the branches outside fled. This was the only one who actually came back to rescue the headquarters.
In the midst of this competition of who's worse, the anti-Baraka organization is the most organized!
With a straight-line distance of 4 kilometers, the convoy was overtaken by a HOT3 engine before it could even hear the roar of the helicopter's main rotor.
"beep"
His shout caused all the cars to slam on their brakes and come to a sudden stop. A large group of black men poured out and fled in all directions.
It must be said that reality is both ironic and cruel, and for small countries like Zhongfei, concentrated firepower defense development can completely solve the problem in a few years.
"Splash splash"
"boom"
They've already staked everything on this, so he should at least give Jiban two or three years to catch his breath and develop.
Only at this moment did they hear the sound of the propeller.
The concentrated fire defense cannot afford to lose such people; a combat casualty rate of 70% is the bottom line set by Xia Yu.
Some thought that by hiding in the woods, Xia Yu wouldn't be able to see their Blackie, but even in a rainforest where cars can drive, the trees and leaves aren't very dense!
In the thermal imaging, the targets exposed through the gaps in the leaves are clearly visible, and many people are hiding behind the trees.
Speed is of the essence in war, so Xia Yu didn't care about economical cruising speed at this moment and flew at top speed. In less than half an hour, he arrived in the airspace above the convoy.
"boom"
The convoy commander instantly recalled the fear of being dominated by German attack helicopters many years ago, and was the first to open the car door and run out.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"
The light truck that was bringing up the rear exploded into a fireball. The thirty or forty people on board were hit by the shockwave, and some of them were even thrown into the air and hung silently on the tree trunks. The leopard was overjoyed.
However, in the event of a potential military confrontation involving hundreds of thousands of personnel, like the one next door where there are hidden mines, the role of PMC will be greatly diminished.
Even the concentrated fire defense was willing but unable to do so. The only exception was that Gna could expand to tens of thousands of people, but there was only one situation in which Russia was willing to loosen the chains and allow old Yev to expand like this.
Indeed, the road to maintaining regional peace is long and arduous, and Boss Xia still has a long way to go!
…………
"Knock knock knock"
Machine guns were still roaring in the direction of the headquarters town.
Mocom counted the number of people using the radio; he only had one hundred men left.
"Boom!"
A high-explosive bomb blasted into a watermill, sending an RPG squad inside to their deaths.
Okay, now there are less than a hundred people.
"Pfft"
Another anti-tank missile was fired at the Leclerc UAE next to it.
"boom"
An interceptor missile destroyed the Milan anti-tank missile that had been smuggled into Zhongfei.
"Calling Leopard Cat, this is Mongoose. I can't find this anti-tank team, so it's yours to take over."
Anti-tank teams with longer firing ranges are indeed harder to find than RPG shooters, so Hans delegated the task to Johnny.
"Leopard Cat understands, prepare the flares!"
Johnny replied immediately.
"yes!"
"Bang"
Hans fired a flare into the sky directly using the Galix multi-purpose launcher.
It wasn't as bright as a 122mm illumination rocket, but it was enough to light up most of the town.
"Woo"
Just as these armed personnel were wondering what was going on, an FPV drone was launched from the sunroof of a Tiger armored vehicle.
Johnny quickly locked onto his target using the light provided by the flare.
The anti-tank team discarded the spent launcher, replaced it with a new one, and moved to a new position, determined to fire one more shot.
Too bad you ran into your leopard cat grandpa, you'd better keep the missile for yourself!
"boom"
The drone crashed to the ground and exploded, the shrapnel directly destroying the Milan missile and wiping out the entire anti-tank team.
Upon hearing the news from his nearby men, Mocomb nearly suffered a cardiac arrest.
This is outrageous! He was just relieved that the enemy's attack helicopters hadn't come, but these tanks are so tough, it would have been better to send that Mi-24V over!
After all, anti-tank missiles can't take down tanks, but portable air defense missiles can definitely shoot down armed helicopters.
Upon closer examination, it's not entirely fair to say that Mocombe's idea was wrong, because Firepower Defense did indeed crash an old female Hound.
Faced with a saturation attack from portable anti-aircraft missiles, without self-propelled anti-aircraft guns to help take out a batch during the acceleration phase, relying solely on technology to evade a few missiles would still leave one vulnerable to several more.
If the armor can't withstand the damage or the tail rotor leaks, the plane will inevitably crash.
Even when using the system to play with missiles, one shouldn't go too far; at most, one should defend against potentially fatal positions. But Xia Yu was smart enough not to come at all.
This rendered Mocom's portable anti-aircraft missiles useless.
"Chief, let's retreat. We've cleared out the crocodiles in the river. If we can break through to the riverbank, we'll have a chance to survive."
Mocombe's confidant shouted at him.
Another attempt at water escape? Do the employees of the concentrated fire defense unit look like villainous extras who only know how to shoot bullets into the water?
No, they also throw grenades; using those to blast fish is a company tradition.
Bullets are less effective than arrows in water, but explosives are actually the most effective.
If dozens of grenades were thrown down, you'd have to surface even if you were wearing a deep-sea diving suit.
So Mocom immediately shook his head and rejected the proposal, deciding to stick to the external rescue efforts.
The nearest one, Ayim, is almost here.
"Calling Mole, this is Quetzal. A rescue fleet has been spotted near the target town. The mongooses haven't taken the town yet, and the boss can't get there in time. Please have your unit bombard the following coordinates."
While staying at the temporary front-line post, Lao Liu, who was in charge of Sparrowhawk A, contacted Kuhn, who was located at a more forward position.
The boss deployed the 155mm howitzer on a flat area less than 20 kilometers from the target town, all for this very moment.
"The mole understands, airburst fuse..."
Upon hearing Kuhn's orders, the soldiers of the village protection team immediately began moving artillery shells and adjusting firing parameters.
Their movements weren't fast, but at least they weren't chaotic, showing that they had received a lot of training.
Using a push rod, a LU211 155mm high-explosive shell was pushed into the breech. Kuhn personally inserted two propellant charges, and then the threaded breechblock was closed.
"Thump"
The long-dormant TRF1 howitzer fired its first shell from a cold gun.
The brass cartridge belt fits snugly against the rifling of the gun barrel, giving the projectile a centripetal force, which causes it to spin as it flies out, following a parabolic trajectory for more than ten kilometers.
The rescue fleet, traveling in the same type of armed fishing boats, was moving very slowly, but they were almost there despite their best efforts.
"Attention everyone, prepare for battle! This time we're facing the powerful PMC Corporation... "
"Whoosh!"
The 155mm grenade, hurtling towards them, exploded in mid-air, scattering countless fragments all over the face and body of the junior leader who was giving pre-battle mobilization.
Countless howls of ghosts, foxes, and wolves echoed throughout the river. The injured and the uninjured huddled together, their hands and faces covered in blood of unknown origin.
Airburst grenades are really effective; one grenade terrified nearly a hundred people.
The solution was simple: anyone with the strength to move could jump into the water, their legs trembling, and swim desperately towards the shore.
"Whoosh!"
Kuhn fired a second 155mm grenade, but most of the fragmentation was obscured by the dense trees, and the armed personnel lying on the ground were not injured.
Of course, all the wounded on the river were cleared away.
"Call the mole to achieve the blocking effect. That should be enough for now."
Old Liu contacted Kuhn again.
It was just shrapnel, not as effective as heavy machine gun or cannon bullets, but its range was large enough.
Two shells rendered the rescue fleet ineffective.
Those dozen or so militants who survived by using human shields were unlikely to return to the town, so achieving the objective of blocking the enemy was sufficient.
"The mole understands and is ready to provide artillery support at any time."
Kuhn ended the communication after speaking, while Mocomb was unaware that the nearest rescue fleet had "sunk," and he was running out of time.
"Splash splash"
Deer and tiger landed at the temporary camp. Lyman, who had returned before Xia Yu, was loading ammunition onto the little antelope.
He fired 400 rounds of 20x139mm shells in one go, destroying a pursuing fleet. This is probably a record he will never be able to surpass in his lifetime.
Aircraft cannons can be deployed on the ground, but their efficiency will never match that of air-to-ground fixed-point fire.
The armored vehicle convoy of Jihuo Defense has phased out the RH202 autocannon, but it can still be used on the Gazelle.
"Shrew, well done! I've run out of machine gun ammo and only have a few rockets left, yet I still managed to take down a few dozen more people than you. Your efficiency is definitely higher."
Xia Yu patted Lyman on the shoulder and praised him.
Since there wasn't enough time to search for and engage the next wave of reinforcements, he decided not to conserve ammunition and went on a rampage.
The remaining maintenance crew immediately went to refuel the Luhu and reload its ammunition.
"It's all thanks to your excellent tactics, boss. I was just responsible for executing them. But boss, after we replenish fuel and ammunition, should we take off immediately to reinforce Mongoose and the others?"
The excavator operator still had the same temperament as the excavator operator. Xia Yu liked listening to Lyman's words, and his positive work attitude deserved praise. It was just that his strategic focus was a little lacking.
"Wait a minute. There's a high chance that the anti-Baraka has portable anti-aircraft missiles. You don't want to be shot down by them, do you? Let the Mongooses finish off their forces before we go."
This anti-aircraft missile is only available at headquarters and branch offices, costing tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars per missile; it is impossible for ordinary overseas outposts to have it.
The anti-Baraka forces couldn't afford such a large war, so buying these things was more for self-defense. But Xia Yu didn't go, and Mocom's possession of them became nothing more than a decoration.
"Let's go grab a coffee. The Mongooses won't be able to take it down for at least another half hour."
"Yes, boss!"
She sent the bachelor Lyman off to get coffee, while Xia Yu had someone drive her home.
"Thank you for your hard work, Liv, staying up so late with us."
He took a cappuccino from his wife, the latte art of which was rather questionable, and said with some guilt.
"I slept during the day, and compared to fighting in a hail of bullets, staying up all night is not hard at all."
Liv shook her head and said.
