Of course, it would be better if the client paid for the ammunition.
Aside from a desperate attempt to defend the company or to resolve a major life event, Xia Yu would not usually be so extravagant.
However, exchanging 40 rockets for the enemy's air defense units is definitely not a bad deal.
"Boom!"
"Knock knock knock knock"
Ground forces launched an even fiercer attack, mopping up the remaining Ace faction forces.
Especially Hans, these guys dared to hit his boss, the meerkats, his sister's boyfriend, they're really asking for trouble.
Without hesitation, he quickened the pace of the attack, using fierce firepower to target the remaining firing positions.
It fired all 18 high-explosive shells from the automatic loader within 10 minutes, then manually reloaded the ammunition and continued firing.
The shells given by the Germans are free to be used; after all, high-explosive shells are much cheaper than steel needles.
After the extremist group members were stunned, two Marder vehicles also intervened. The Marder S3, which was equipped with the same caliber of ammunition (AMX-10P), also went all out in this operation.
In the darkness, the 20x139mm French version dm81 high-explosive rifle, trailing a tracer, bursts into sparks upon hitting its target. Apart from the rather piercing sound, the visual effect is quite beautiful.
The scene captured by the vehicle-mounted thermal imaging is a completely different story, especially when it hits a person.
"Bang"
"Bang"
The two helicopters that had returned to the airspace above the mining area, each carrying a sniper, began their work. That missile attack had been quite a shock, but fortunately, their team's technical skills were excellent; not only did they not crash, but they also successfully counterattacked and killed the enemy.
"Buzzing"
After suffering heavy losses, Xia Yu saw more vehicles starting up below through his night vision goggles. Taking advantage of the gap when the ground troops entered the blind spot, they rushed into the depths of the mining area in a saturation attack.
They are preparing to break out.
Yes, even if the members were unwilling to believe it, their leader, Sahara, was absolutely dead, beyond repair.
If they didn't want to be wiped out, they had to break out and join the Al-Qaeda faction, asking the former leader of the Nasser independence movement, Belmukhtar, to avenge the Sahara.
But can they really break through?
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"
Even without the Gatling gun turret, it doesn't matter if the rocket pod is emptied; Xia Yu still has 9 HOT-3 missiles left, enough for 3 salvos.
"Boom boom boom"
No matter how high the vehicle speed, it is ineffective against anti-tank missiles; the SUVs and pickup trucks at the forefront are directly destroyed.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"
When Xia Yu played his second round and was about to select his final three targets, the extremists chickened out.
People who turn off the engine and get out of the car have good mental fortitude; those who don't are more likely to pull the door open and jump out.
The pitch-black night prevented these guys from seeing that there was actually a transport helicopter in the sky, so they didn't dare gamble on how many missiles Xia Yu still had. Abandoning the vehicle was the best option.
Actually, there are only 3 left, and it looks like we won't be able to use them all.
"Call the Mongooses and send the second wave into the fray. Target the mine and surround the scattered targets."
Xia Yu called Hans directly.
Of the eleven or twelve vehicles that just passed, he destroyed six of them and killed at least thirty or fifty. The remaining thirty or fifty escaped quickly and are scattered over a large area, so it's good time to send the second echelon to encircle and wipe them out.
"Yes, boss!"
Hans immediately called the deputy platoon leader, and two VAB armored personnel carriers started up and rushed to the battlefield.
Only Liv, the medics sent by Fa Jun to assist her, and her weasel K1 remained in the back.
Honestly, when Liv saw that the attack helicopter that was firing continuously in the sky get hit by an anti-aircraft missile, she was stunned for a moment.
Countless images flashed through his mind, eventually converging into one thought: Could it be that their family's curse is about to repeat itself?
But the Mi-24V then acted as if nothing had happened, retreating and firing all its rockets to focus fire on the attacker.
It seems that any concern about this guy is unnecessary.
It is indeed quite unnecessary, but it feels good to have someone care. Given Xia Yu's parents' mental capacity, they can hardly accept that their son went in and out of the hail of bullets seven times. Only his partner could be so selfless.
"Buzz"
The two VABs sped to 80 km/h in fifth gear and quickly caught up with the fleeing extremist group members after driving for several kilometers.
"Put-put-put"
The old AA 7.62mm general-purpose machine gun in the CB52 rotating turret on the roof of the vehicle began to roar, sweeping across all targets in the field of vision.
"Da da da"
The extremists also turned to fight back, but having left the vehicle, they lost their best weapon against the lightly armored personnel carrier. Without the 12.7mm heavy machine gun, they couldn't break through the VAB's defenses at all.
As for the RPG shooter, regardless of whether it can hit a target moving at high speed, the glider approached in its Super Hornet mode.
"Knock knock knock knock"
"Bang"
The door gunner and sniper opened fire together, prioritizing the RPG shooter.
The moment the gun stops, before it can even be raised, it's either hit by a .338mm shot or a 12.7mm shot that will leave you feeling overwhelmed.
It's really too difficult. If they stay in the vehicle, they get hit by missiles; if they get out, they get harvested by armored vehicles and helicopters. They have no way out.
Hey! A mine shaft!
Apart from a few tunnels, the camp had no fortifications, but deep inside the mining area, these fortifications were readily available.
The last twenty or so people scattered into three or five tunnels, then collected all the weapons and ammunition from everyone's bodies, preparing to guard the entrance.
Surrender is out of the question. Since we can't escape, we'll take as many of them as possible with us, even if it means we die.
It's a very simple idea, but Jihuo Defense is never a pushover and has been on guard against this move for a long time.
The tail hatch opened to the left and right, and the special operations/mechanized infantrymen of the 1st Platoon, 3rd Company, 1st Marine Parachute Regiment disembarked nimbly, opened fire in an orderly manner to suppress the enemy and launch a counterattack.
Mariano and Johnny were the last to disembark, escorted by two infantry squads, and continued to advance towards the nearest mine.
"Da da da"
Gunshots rang out from inside, a burst of bullets being fired inaccurately.
From this angle, the two sides' firearms cannot attack each other. A grenade might hit one or two people if you're lucky, but if you're not, it will only cause the other side to have ringing ears.
But flamethrowers are different; the flames can extend and bend.
"Bang bang bang"
The assault troopmen used HK416s to suppress the entrance to the pit, while the marksmen, as in the drills, threw HK417s behind them and, in pairs, pinned down Mariano and Johnny's shoulders.
Due to its powerful recoil, the Type 02C flamethrower is mostly operated by lying prone on the ground, much like a bipod motor. However, the angle is limited, and when lying prone, the flamethrower may not reach the pit opening.
If three people were to bear the recoil, then it would be possible to operate the machine while standing.
"Pfft"
The two men pulled the triggers, one on each side, and the electric spark ignited the gunpowder. The exploding gunpowder gases pressurized and ejected the gelatinous oil from the bottle.
"boom"
After leaping five or six meters, the fire serpent plunged into the pit, mercilessly devouring everything in its path.
"Ah ah"
A heart-wrenching scream rang out.
The next second, everyone saw people in flames, as if they had crawled out of hell, their faces twisted and deformed as they burned.
That's cruel, but it's very efficient, isn't it?
"Bang bang bang"
Fearing being contaminated by the burning flames, the foremost assault troops shot down any approaching firemen one by one.
"Next!"
Empty the titanium alloy oil bottle, leaving only the last tunnel. Use the WPF-89-2 thermobaric rocket launcher to finish the battle.
In the other residential area, Louis also led his team to meet up with Claude and began the final clearing operation.
Those who stayed behind instead of breaking through were either fearless in the face of death or cowardly and afraid of dying on the way. So, along the way, they captured a total of 3 prisoners.
Their hands and feet were bound, their mouths were gagged, and they were thrown into the weasel's troop transport cabin until, in the dim night vision, only the friendly members wearing identification badges remained standing.
It was over. The battle at the driving school ended even faster. With this, the Nasser independence movement's Aztec faction was completely wiped out, and the French had avenged themselves.
"Platoon leader, something's not right. I interrogated those prisoners, and they said they weren't the ones who attacked the OGA VBCI infantry fighting vehicle."
After confirming basic safety, the special forces soldiers, who had taken the interrogation course, routinely questioned the prisoners, but they then denied everything.
Is this an attempt to get a reduced sentence?
Louis initially thought the other party was just uncooperative, but after he used his methods, the other party still said the same thing, and he started to panic.
Could it really be a misunderstanding?
Louis immediately reported the situation to the command center.
Xia Yu's expression was somewhat amused; he also felt that something was amiss.
The VBCI attack targeted a car bomb made from a ready-made aerial bomb, while the Aspite faction preferred to buy various explosives and mix them to make their own.
Regardless of the truth of the matter, there was only one outcome: the army successfully eliminated the perpetrators of the attack, thus comforting the souls of the dead and wounded soldiers.
The situation was pretty much the same. When Liv drove over with Big Yellow and Big Black to clean the wounds of the only two injured soldiers, the command issued a gag order to them.
As for Xia Yu and the employees of Ji Huo Defense, they will have to sign a confidentiality agreement when they return.
The client's scandals are something that any ethical contractor wouldn't publicize to the world, yet the real culprit remains at large, becoming a major concern for those in power.
It's like you're F, and you get slapped by M, but after beating N to death, you realize you've got the wrong person.
I'm so angry no matter how I think about it!
Xia Yu didn't have time to worry about such things for the moment; he was busy searching for spoils of war.
According to the terms of the signed contract, all property seized during the operation belongs to Jihuo Defense.
Of course, Xia Yu didn't try to keep all the profits to himself when facing a powerful client like the German company.
Depending on the amount of his gains, he would set aside a portion to bribe officials and patrons. In the case of the Afica country, he would be the one receiving the bribes.
This is true; strength determines status.
The Chinese can take down these extremist groups without relying on PMC, but the budget will be overrun by a few hundred million and the casualties will be greater.
The situation with Black people is complicated. They may spend a lot of money, but many people die, and in the end, there are always back and forth, or even their regime is overthrown.
"Woof woof"
Da Huang, who was recovering well after childbirth, was the first to give a signal, indicating that there was something wrong with the ruins under her feet.
"Buzz"
The yellow and black excavator roared as its bucket scooped up the soil and rocks bit by bit.
"Hey bro, this is why your transport convoy, besides tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, also includes an excavator."
A deputy platoon leader asked Lyman, who was getting water from the car.
"Yes, our company was originally an earthwork excavation company."
Lyman did not give a direct answer.
And what's wrong with an excavator? He operates an excavator too.
Their company has transformed into a PMC company, but they're still using civilian excavators. Isn't that a bit stingy? It would be much better to get a combat excavator.
No need for anything else, just look at the Kodiaq he drove, based on the Leopard 2 chassis.
This guy is even wilder than Xia Yu, but to be fair, without the anti-tank feature, the Leopard 2 isn't as appealing as its other chassis-based transforming vehicles.
If given the opportunity, the Leopard 2 family pack would also be quite attractive.
The daily life of a military contractor with extraordinary skills is probably like that of Xia Yu, who collects fighter jets like a family and buys tanks and infantry fighting vehicles in bulk, which is more sophisticated than buying some electronic products and smart home systems.
As dawn broke, the bodies at the scene were collected one by one, and Domi also drove an excavator to roughly excavate the area that Xia Yu had marked out.
Two female corpses were found, likely belonging to the family of Sahara, the leader of the Aztecs.
They could usually marry four, and two was definitely not a large number. Unfortunately, she was caught in the crossfire of the battle and met her husband at the Pearl Palace.
Xia Yu felt no remorse for causing the deaths and injuries of the hostages; he deserved to be offered incense and burned paper money.
But this is clearly a family of three; you can only say that she has to follow her husband wherever he goes.
Continuing to dig downwards, a secret chamber connected by a collapsed tunnel came into view.
The excavator unearthed many military-green wooden crates, but only some of them contained weapons.
What remains are the money, accounts, and other documents.
The accounts and documents were handed over to Louis and his crew to take away in their Super Frelon, and he did a rough count of the valuables on the spot.
The sum of US dollars, euros, and local currency is approximately $1.5 million.
It's mostly gold dust, probably accumulated over several months, weighing over a hundred kilograms, with a purity of at least 80%.
It was another bumper harvest, but the combat employees who did not participate in the battle could only receive their share according to a coefficient.
You can't fight city hall. The client insisted on getting involved, only to find out it was a blunder after the battle was over. It would have been better to outsource the whole thing to Jihuo Defense.
The remaining staff handled the aftermath and refueled the badly damaged Mi-24V. Xia Yu, along with Liv and Shouhuo, returned to Aoga first.
Poor machine gun turret, it gets damaged every time. Fortunately, it only takes 5 man-hours to repair, but it also damages a lot of other systems.
Xia Yu didn't mince words with the Frenchmen, initially quoting two million euros for repairs, which was later reduced to one million eight hundred thousand.
The other party's asking price was 1.5 million, but because we were in the wrong, we only managed to cut it slightly.
After all, the target was equipped with anti-aircraft missiles, and their intelligence work was not thorough enough.
Then there's the leak of the Starlight missile. They've notified the British that they must thoroughly investigate the source of the leak and give them an explanation.
It's actually quite easy to find out. The UK didn't export many of this anti-aircraft missile. Apart from a few countries in Southeast Asia, only the Philippines and South Korea were exported.
As a result, the Philippine Army's investigation revealed that 10 of the triple-mounted Starlight missiles were missing, and the person in question had long since retired and disappeared.
