"puff"
"Bang"
Pulling the trigger of the GP-34 grenade launcher mounted under the AK-104 handguard, a 40mm VOG-25P frog-jump grenade was fired from the chamber.
The explosion that followed was accompanied by screams, and sure enough, there were still people hiding around the corner.
This is the experience gained from years of fighting in urban warfare!
Even he only used a grenade launcher mounted under his rifle, so how could the elite soldiers on the other side, who were carrying what looked like a six-round burst grenade launcher but were actually Croatian RBG-6 grenades, possibly be acting alone!
At least one infantryman was there to help sweep people away, but he was taken down before he could even charge out.
He liked it here, he liked the feeling of taking down one target after another.
The third group, whose positions are further forward, will be relatively less experienced on the battlefield.
Lao Si had just taken down a rifleman with a few shots when, before he could even move his gun a few inches away, another RPG shooter rushed out.
"Whoosh!"
The gunner operating the 14.5mm heavy machine gun in the turret was silently taken away, and the two closest riflemen were knocked down by shrapnel.
"Whoosh whoosh rumble"
As for Gna, their RPG-7 had just been raised and hadn't even been launched when Group 3 beat them to it.
This is the real battlefield. Ace, who can mass produce troops, has many opportunities, but if you make just one mistake, it's all over.
The RPG shooter was lucky; the guards on the other side of the convoy were careless, allowing Ace's recoilless rifle to hit them unexpectedly.
"boom"
Only a small number of RPG-22 rocket launchers were issued for single-use.
Under intense firepower in a short period of time, several comrades quickly provided first aid to the two unfortunate men.
Unfortunately, one of them had his femoral artery severed by shrapnel, and the rapid blood loss caused him to go into shock and quickly lose his life.
But just around the next street corner…
There was no reason to put the rocket launcher back once it was hoisted up. The RPG gunner in the field turned around and blasted a recoilless rifle position 150 meters away.
"Everyone, get down!"
Two more thermobaric rockets followed, physically eliminating the enemy's artillery crew.
Ace and the opposition forces didn't have many main battle tanks, and Gna preferred to use tanks to deal with them as well.
Ace was equipped with a number of recoilless rifles, which, like rocket launchers, served as direct-fire weapons. Recoilless rifles not only had a higher initial velocity, but also had better accuracy when fired from the ground.
Because of the decent salary, Old Yev's men were well-equipped individually, but they mainly used reloadable RPG-7 rocket launchers.
A BTR-80 at the back of the convoy was instantly detonated. Although there was not enough explosives to cause a secondary explosion, casualties still occurred.
With the roar of a diesel engine, a self-destructing pickup truck with rusted steel plates welded to all four sides burst out and sped toward the convoy.
If the number 3 group disembarks, Clara's light explosive counterattack can absorb all the damage, preventing secondary damage from shrapnel.
The machine gunner in the next vehicle turned his gun around and fired an entire belt of ammunition at the recoilless rifle position.
"Put-put-put"
For non-systematic military confrontations, this configuration is sufficient; the RPG-28 and RPG-30 are used for main combat.
The machine gun opened fire, and the third brother behind him immediately followed up with a burst of fire.
However, the SPG-9 recoilless rifle was attacking the concentrated fire defense, and the Marder S3 could block the 73mm shell by activating its active protection system.
Lack of experience must be compensated for by teamwork. The back-to-back support between comrades will help them grow rapidly under the tempering of war.
The heavy anti-tank rocket launcher is very powerful, but the multi-purpose light rocket launcher is more cost-effective. The rocket launcher produced in my hometown is even cheaper than the AT-4.
Old Huang and his group brought a whole tray with them when they came, and it's really working well now.
"Boom!"
"Buzz"
As the rocket launcher gunner Lao Er shouted, he knelt down on one knee.
"Thump"
"Thump"
"Da da da"
At this moment, not to mention tanks, even the machine guns of infantry fighting vehicles didn't have time to turn around. The only ones who could resolve this crisis were the mechanized infantry scattered on the left and right.
Although they weren't as flexible as rocket launchers, they were fighting a defensive war, so the need for portability wasn't as high as for the offensive side; accuracy was all that mattered.
One of the two rocket launchers he was carrying had already slid smoothly onto his shoulder strap. He unfolded the folding grip, disengaged the safety, and aimed at the target in one fluid motion, until…
However, saving money is also a factor. The RPG-7 is really cheap. Not to mention the counterfeit versions on the black market that cost two hundred dollars a round, even the original ones from Old Yevgeny only cost about that much.
Pulling the trigger, a fleeting flash of light pierced through the fiberglass tube. The recoil from the rocket, composed of over 2,000 layers of plastic sheets, was countered by the rocket of equal weight, and then the rocket headed straight for the oncoming armored self-destructing pickup truck.
Spending money is useful, but how many people are there in the concentrated fire defense, and how many are in the rapidly expanding Grenadier? Old Yev can hardly do that; at most, he can only pay a little more in compensation.
The multi-purpose assault rocket, with an equivalent penetration depth of 100mm of homogeneous steel armor, easily tore through the thick steel plates on the pickup truck, which could withstand even a 20mm autocannon, and directly exploded the entire vehicle.
While Balmira was grinding meat, Anman's temporary airborne operations team was also undergoing intensive training.
They parachute, pack up their parachutes, fill their oxygen tanks, and check their equipment. They jump at least twice a day, a pace that is more intense than during their service.
In between training sessions, they also need to practice weighted infiltration and become familiar with laser-guided techniques.
This job is no easier than going to the battlefield, but everyone enjoys it.
Because only special operations can allow them to rediscover their former feeling.
To be honest, during their time with the concentrated fire defense and deployed in Afica, they were mostly used as mechanized infantry, with some special operations, but not much.
Now that they've arrived in Syria, the increased intensity has significantly raised the proportion of special operations for the company, so this time they need to make sure the mission is completed flawlessly.
A week passed in the blink of an eye, and C-160 arrived as scheduled, bringing all 12 members of Old K and his group back to Balmira.
"Boss, how was your week?"
After jumping more than ten times, Leonardo, feeling a little lightheaded, greeted Xia Yu.
Behind him, Anton and Daniel each led a large yellow dog and a large black dog, and the two military dogs would also follow the temporary airborne operations team into the city of Balmira.
Operations behind enemy lines are extremely dangerous, so this biological intelligent early warning system is essential.
As for carrying military dogs for high-altitude, low-profile infiltration operations, this is also a required course for special forces.
Before joining the concentrated fire defense, Dahuang and Dahei had skipped several times, but this was their first time in actual combat.
"It's alright. We organized three attacks this week. Although none of them reached the area we were attacking, we still caused nearly 400 casualties on the other side."
Xia Yu briefly explained the situation in Balmira to his colleagues.
"Of course, there were also losses. More than 20 people died and more than 30 were injured in Grenfell. Three BTR-80s and one BMP-2 were destroyed."
"On our side, only 03 and Lao Lu suffered minor injuries, while the explosive reactive missiles and interceptor missiles have been used up quite a bit."
In high-intensity combat, casualties are inevitable. The good news is that no tanks at the concentrated fire defense site were destroyed.
The high casualty figures in Grenadier were mainly due to a BTR-80 being hit during the assault, and the troop pod being destroyed by Ace's single shot.
There really wasn't enough time to get out of the vehicle to accompany them, and with the anti-tank missile having a large warhead, the scene was absolutely tragic.
"Will they still be able to participate in the next battle?"
Mariano asked.
With one person lost in each of the two teams, the combat pressure on the remaining members is even greater.
"Old Lu only suffered a scratch, but 03 is in a bit of a predicament. His arm was ripped off by an M43 rifle bullet. Although it was his left arm, he definitely can't lift the machine gun anymore."
Xia Yu shook his head and said.
After Liv finished her treatment, she said that Nikolai would need to rest for a month first, and then undergo rehabilitation training for at least two months. Nikolai would not be able to return for at least half a year.
"Losing one person is not too bad, the rest of us can handle it."
Old Ke also spoke up.
Fortunately, the boss added a number 3 group to estimate the combat casualties; otherwise, if two mechanized infantry squads were to be redeployed, they really wouldn't be able to take care of the entire armored vehicle convoy.
"Don't panic, we still have friendly forces! Mr. Yevgeny has assigned three people to fill the empty seats in the vehicle."
Teams can use loans, large factories can use labor dispatch, and fire defense can also use temporary workers.
After all, the staffing levels cannot be increased or decreased arbitrarily. Xia Yu adjusted the staffing levels according to the company's business volume and the scale of its operational vehicles, with the instructor group being allocated as a mobile force.
It was sufficient in Afica until the remote deployment arrived in Syria.
There's no other way. Let's ask Old Yev for help. The company's second-line black employees are only superior in combat power among blacks, about the same as Gna's support personnel.
They couldn't handle the intensity of the assault and had to send the enemy's elite troops.
So Xia Yu directly arranged for Nikolai to return to Serviya to recuperate, and sent the lightly injured Lao Lu to Zhongfei's uranium mine. The two positions that were vacated and the extra pit on the Weasel S30 were used to borrow three elite veterans from Lao Yev.
"The operation plan will be delayed by a few days. Those three people joined the joint training yesterday, and it should be ready in about a week."
Xia Yu addressed everyone.
That's how it is when plans can't keep up with changes; luckily, we can still pick up what others have already done.
"If it's postponed, will Ace replace the crew?"
Rob, who had been in the drone group the whole time, suddenly asked this question.
Sparrowhawk A also flew over Elek to scout, where at least 700 Black Army soldiers were stationed, as well as oil talents hired by Ace at high salaries.
The machines in the oil field need to be maintained by people; crude oil cannot be extracted out of thin air.
Ais, who was in dire need of professionals, either tied up or offered high salaries to maintain basic production at the oil fields under his control.
These people do not participate in the fighting, but there are many armed personnel stationed at the oil field.
"Lynx, this is great news! If Ace doesn't send more people, how can we ask our employer for more money!"
Xia Yu said you don't know how to do business.
In the PMC industry, the more people you target, the higher the value of the contract.
As the contractor, Jihuo Defense was naturally happy, and the government forces, as the client, were equally pleased.
Problems that can be solved with money are never really problems.
Why not spend tens of millions, even a hundred million, to take these seven or eight hundred people with us?
Rob had a "can it be like this?" look on his face. People from the village are still a bit naive. He only knows how to fight and doesn't actively think about the business logic behind it.
"In this first phase of the operation, we have already eliminated one-third of the enemy's fighting force. As long as they don't suddenly add three or four thousand more, there shouldn't be any major problems."
Ace's troops are of very high quality; their military skills are undeniable, but their fearlessness surpasses that of Afica's rebels, who need drugs and buffs.
The 2,000-plus troops stationed in Balmira can be considered equivalent to 3,000 to 4,000 Black men, making them well-suited for concentrated fire defense at this stage.
Too much of that is really too much; it can easily cause indigestion.
C-160 quickly landed at T-4 base, and the entire crew returned to the outpost camp aboard Super Frelon.
The team lost two people, but gained three more.
All the temporary workers were former VDV members. When they went out to fight, they were either transport planes or BMD-2 and BMD-3 airborne infantry fighting vehicles.
However, after adding Gna, only BMP-2 remains.
The armor is a bit thicker, which is the only consolation. The difference between being an airborne soldier and becoming a purely mechanized infantryman is not too bad.
Many special forces soldiers who have retired can only work in the PSC industry or simply become mercenaries. The difference in their career paths is truly significant.
The pay is either too low or there's no job security; overall, it's not as good as the further segmentation within the PMC industry.
"Palaszczuk, do you know anyone here?"
Tom asked Paul.
“They look several years younger than me, and I’ve been retired for several years. Even if we served in the same place, it’s impossible for us to know each other!”
Paul shook his head and said.
However, he still went up and chatted with the other person, and found that they actually knew each other.
This is the army: the camp remains, but the soldiers come and go; the turnover rate of commanding officers may be slower.
In the following days, the two companies, having slowed their offensive, joined forces with government troops to launch another feint attack.
They did not lose any vehicles this time, and the casualties were under control.
Most importantly, the Ace members in the city gradually got used to this slow, ruthless attack rhythm that slowly drained their blood.
Hussein was unaware that it was all an illusion, and the truth hidden behind it was a C-160 transport plane that had just taken off.
Old Li piloted the plane towards Yogan as usual, but after reaching an altitude of 7,000 meters, he turned the plane around and flew towards Balmira.
The 14 people and 2 military dogs in the cargo hold were all fully equipped, and their dark masks prevented Xia Yu from seeing their faces, but he knew that everyone was ready.
"Buzz"
The rear door opened, and the C-160, which was flying over the city of Palmyra, reduced its speed to 260 km/h.
"beep"
The green indicator light officially lit up, and the temporary airborne combat team, dragging their bulky equipment, fell one by one from the dark night sky, landing on the silent earth.
The sub-zero wind chilled everyone to the bone, and the two animals, Big Yellow and Big Black, with their eyes covered and breathing oxygen, were even more tense.
I bet he's thinking, "It's really not easy to get a little bit of dog food from your company."
