Xia Yu contacted Alvin, who was stationed at the Zha De Njamena Airport.
Taking off from Kongluga, it has to pass through Gabon and Kamalong to reach Niriliya. A fully armed F-4K doesn't have that long combat radius.
Tshat is much closer, and the capital city is also near the border. If we take off now, we can arrive at the Sambisa Forest before the convoy.
"Fruit bat received, take off immediately!"
The aircraft condition check, refueling, and arming were completed during the day, and the Fruit Bat crew is ready to take off for combat at any time.
Along with Alvin, there was also a MiG-29 from the Tsuna Air Force.
Perhaps the damage caused by the previous hurricane has made them gradually accept things as they are now!
Weapons are bought to be used. If they are just left unused, they might be destroyed by natural disasters or man-made calamities someday. We need to use them as much as possible to recoup our investment.
However, their watch shop version of the Su-25 does not have all-weather combat capabilities.
The Mi-24V in the fleet pulled away from the main group and flew directly towards the target convoy.
Old Deer Tiger was the first to take off, forming a squadron with Super Hornet and Fennec Fox behind him, and flew to Sampisa Forest.
Fortunately, the driver kept a firm grip on the steering wheel and promptly turned on the hazard lights, which were only flashing one light, to warn the vehicles behind of an emergency.
Their response was the whistling of unguided rockets tearing through the night.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"
Less than an hour after leaving the base, a convoy of 47 vehicles stretched out in a long line, driving through the silent forest without a single headlight on, until the first vehicle broke down.
"Enemy attack"
Not to mention it's a 240mm caliber heavy rocket that can't fit in the rocket pod and can only be carried alone, which is a bit short-range.
"Knock knock knock knock"
Their broken Fiat light truck was one of those; the road was so uneven that it knocked off a tire and almost caused it to overturn and throw off the entire cargo bed.
Alvin took off with afterburner engaged, followed closely by a MiG-29S piloted by a foreign instructor.
Therefore, Lyman can completely replace Xia Yu for a period of time, allowing him to deplete the manpower of the Boko Holy Land to the greatest extent and weaken their combat potential for the next few years.
They've all taken off; it's Xia Yu's turn now.
In just half a minute, Xia Yu cleared out two rocket pods, then changed from a dive to a climb, and after turning in the air, prepared to launch a second round of attacks from the rear of the convoy.
Seizing the opportunity, Xia Yu decisively issued a new order.
"boom"
"Boom boom boom boom boom"
The Fennec Fox's accuracy is not as good as the old Deer Tiger's, but it has more ammo than the Gazelle, so its firepower density in a short time is still sufficient.
Fortunately, the rainy season was over. In the past few months, it wasn't just a matter of the car speed being reduced by half, but rather that one car after another broke down, and their convoy couldn't get out of the forest at all.
This is also an experience they gained from crashing cars; it's more efficient than communicating by radio.
All the units that received the order responded.
The Jihuo Defense forces mobilized their entire force, and Boko Holy Land also completed the assembly of its rescue troops, combining a thousand elite soldiers from the two strongholds into one.
The convoy quickly drove several kilometers until, amidst the roar of the diesel engines, some unusual noises suddenly broke in.
"Yes, boss!"
If it can be repaired, it will be repaired; if it can't be repaired, the parts will be disassembled and reused. Every piece of scrap metal in Afica has a use.
There was no other way but to send the only MiG-29 into battle, but even then, the pilot wasn't his own; the instructor was sent instead.
Furthermore, it lacks precision-guided munitions; all seven hardpoints on this old Fulcrum are equipped with S-24 heavy air-to-ground rockets.
This is what a surprise is.
They left the vehicle behind, and more than half of the 40 or so people in the back shoved into other vehicles to squeeze in, while the rest stayed on site until dawn when the outpost would send someone to tow the vehicle back.
"Calling Yellow Weasel, calling Yellow Weasel, this is Roaring Eagle, we have detected the latest enemy situation. Their convoy has joined forces, and nearly 50 vehicles are heading towards Kamalon."
It's not that the driver's driving skills are bad, it's just that the car is bad. New cars that can transport people to Afica are expensive and rare, and most of them are almost scrapped cars.
"The battle plan has been changed. Shrews will escort the gliders and coordinate with ground forces to attack as originally planned. I'll go meet this convoy. Platoon B, once you arrive at the outskirts of stronghold C, stand by and be ready to provide support for me!"
The drone ground control station crew in Busa reported the situation of the Boco Holy Land convoy to Xia Yu.
The low-altitude Death appeared directly in front of the convoy, bombarding the dozen or so trucks in the middle of the convoy with S-8 aerial rockets, turning them and their crew into fireballs.
This convoy, consisting of 12 trucks, 20 pickup trucks, and 15 captured light armored vehicles of various types, was driven by drivers all wearing night vision goggles, traveling at an average speed of 40 km/h on the bumpy forest dirt roads.
The accuracy of these unguided rockets is better than that of iron bombs.
What was that sound?
Suddenly, an armed man with good hearing asked a question on the bus.
Those smaller, armed pickup trucks were the first to react; those equipped with heavy machine guns immediately raised their muzzles and opened fire on the Mi-24V.
"Splash splash"
These guys were supposed to be suppressed in the stronghold and bombed, but they insisted on coming out, so Xia Yu had no choice but to eliminate them in open field.
The trail of the tracer rounds was so clear in the night vision goggles that the trajectory of the bullets spraying into the sky quickly caught Old Deer Tiger, and then that was it.
Whether it was 12.7mm, 14.5mm, or even double 23mm, none of them could penetrate the defenses of this attack helicopter that loved wild animals. The fuselage was being hit and clanged, and Xia Yu in the cockpit just felt noisy.
"beep"
The gun moves with the eye; once the four-barreled Gatling gun in the machine gun turret locks onto the target, it begins to rotate and spew fire.
Those who jumped off the truck in time were unharmed, but those who remained in the back bed and cab were in dire straits. Both the people and the truck were riddled with holes, and engine oil and diesel fuel were scattered all over the ground.
"Whoosh!"
"Boom boom"
Xia Yu then fired several more rockets, which directly detonated the hit pickup trucks.
But at that moment, someone got out of one of the light armored vehicles at the very front of the convoy, which were made of various countries, and raised a thin, long tube.
"beep"
Upon hearing the lock-on notification tone, the guy immediately pressed the launch button.
"call out"
The rocket-2m portable air defense missile was boosted and ignited, then ignited again after leaving the launch tube, aiming directly at the vulnerable tail rotor of the old Deer Tiger.
The timing was perfect, but the missile model was a bit outdated. If it had been replaced with the Misagh-2, which uses both infrared and ultraviolet dual passive seekers, Xia Yu would have had to right his fuselage to take the hit head-on.
But this refurbished old SAM-7 with its new propellant is really only good for shooting down low-flying drones.
"Puff puff puff puff"
"boom"
The Arrow-2m, accelerating to Mach 1.5, crashed head-on into the heat decoys dropped by Xia Yu, turning into a dazzling firework in the night sky.
The modified Mi-24V is only at risk of being shot down when subjected to a saturation attack by man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS). How many MANPADS can such a hastily dispatched rescue convoy carry?
"Splash splash"
The old deer-tiger, seemingly having escaped, not only did not retreat, but instead turned around and charged towards the front of the convoy once again.
"beep"
The deadly gunfire of the Gatling gun rang out again, and the 12.7mm tungsten-core armor-piercing rounds easily tore through the scalps of these light armored vehicles.
The militants, powerless to fight back, scattered and fled to both sides of the road.
They are no match for us. Staying here would only lead to a meaningless death. It's better to preserve our bodies for future use and find opportunities to take revenge.
They didn't go crazy from chanting scriptures, but they wouldn't die if they stayed. After that barrage of attacks, Xia Yu emptied four rocket nests and ran out of thousands of bullets on the machine gun turret. Old Deer Tiger only had four HOT-3 missiles left on its wingtip pylons.
This is the awkward situation for a single-player team: he destroyed all the vehicles in the target convoy, but only took down a little over half of the personnel.
If another Longbow Crossbow is deployed to assist, we can guarantee that 300 more people will be left among those who escaped.
We'll have to wait until next year; let's just make do this year!
After finishing his mission, Xia Yu did not linger at the scene and continued flying the helicopter towards the Sambisa Forest.
However, after flying only a few kilometers, he spotted the broken-down truck in the thermal imaging.
"Put-put-put"
The two PKMs on the back of the truck suddenly opened fire on Xia Yu.
This... it's one thing for them to be inconspicuous, but they insist on provoking him, the Weasel. Firing a missile might be a waste, but he has other weapons on his plane.
Xia Yu handed over driving control to the driver assistance submodule, reclined his seat, and entered the cargo compartment through the small door.
He maneuvered around several stacked wooden crates secured to the floor and pushed out the heavy machine gun from the corner hatch.
"Knock knock knock knock"
Xia Yu, who was temporarily acting as a door machine gunner, fired a maximum of 100 rounds, completely ending the life of this old Fiat light truck.
At the same time, the convoy moved forward to an area about 5 kilometers away from the outpost C, where two BTR-82S vehicles, along with the Weasel K1, came to a stop.
This is the frontline medical point. The B platoon, whose mission is to mobilely blockade stronghold C, is also deployed here, serving as a secondary protection point for the medical point.
If you ask what a mobile blockade is, two vehicles and a dozen people certainly can't blockade a large stronghold with a thousand people. So the best approach is to combine forces in one place and wait for real-time intelligence from drones.
When encountering large groups of routed troops, engage them in mobile warfare, then retreat after defeating them.
In addition to that, they can also do some odd jobs, such as…
"Splash splash"
The Mi-24V, having emptied its ammunition, landed nimbly at a frontline medical point.
"Quickly, faster!"
Ruaman called to the soldiers and they ran to Old Deer Tiger. Then, as in the drill, he opened the transport hatch of the attack helicopter and carried all the wooden crates inside.
Based on the experience of Soviet Hind aircrews on the Akumhan battlefield, it was better to empty the transport bay and load a basic load of ammunition than to take an infantry squad with you during a strike mission and make them nauseous.
Once the machine guns/cannons, rockets, and missiles are all fired, as long as there is enough fuel, there is no need to return to the base; just find an empty open space to land.
Hehe, the pilot and the gunner can reload the ammunition in just two people.
Xia Yu was alone, but he also had the problem of running out of ammunition, so he also brought a basic load of ammunition, preparing to reload in the field after the first round of attacks on stronghold C.
Who would have thought that Xie Kao would be so bold as to send a rescue convoy to Kamalung?
Well, there was no other way; Xia Yu, who had accepted the entire convoy, had to load the ammunition ahead of schedule.
Ruaman removed the rocket pod's mounting cover, took the rockets handed to him by his subordinates, identified the type of rocket, and inserted them into the corresponding directional tubes.
There are targets that engage personnel and soft targets, targets that engage armored targets, and targets inside buildings.
The only thing missing from Jihuo Defense is guided rockets; this piece of the puzzle can only be completed once the Longbow Crossbow is in place.
Even the most expensive guided rockets are still cheaper than missiles, not to mention that a single rocket pod can hold at least seven rockets, providing nearly double the accuracy output compared to a quadruple missile launcher that also occupies a heavy rack.
For Xia Yu, both of these points are important, especially when targeting a thousand-person force.
After loading the two rocket pods on the right, the group carried the remaining rockets around from the front of Old Deer Tiger to the left and right to continue loading.
The helicopter's main rotor can't cut people, but you can walk from behind and the tail rotor will cut them off with ease.
The company has invested a lot in safety training. Not to mention the regular employees, no one in the second-line staff would make such a fatal mistake.
"boom"
The distant explosions of tank shells shattered the busy tranquility of the medical station.
The convoy and the personnel inside the stronghold clashed.
"One high-explosive fragmentation grenade, reload, target at 3 o'clock!"
Outside the minefield at Boko Sanctuary outpost C, the Panda vehicle crew on guard duty opened fire first.
"call out"
The rocket, trailing a blasting strip, flew out of the GPZ-80 launch box and landed in the relatively open first half of the minefield.
"boom"
The mine-clearing vehicle reversed, straightened the winding explosive strip, and detonated it, blasting out a passage over a hundred meters long.
The Leclerc ARV, equipped with light explosive reactive armor, charged ahead to the front of the minefield under the cover of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles.
The armored repair vehicle, equipped with the K2D mine-clearing kit, inserted the FWMP mine-clearing plow into the soil and pushed it forward at full speed.
"call out"
An RPG shot suddenly burst from the dense woods, successfully hitting the Leclerc ARV that was in operation.
"boom"
The light explosive reaction metal jet triggered the damage, and the remote weapon station on the roof immediately opened fire.
"Put-put-put"
Dozens of full-power rounds instantly turned the shooter into a sieve.
"Everyone move forward and draw the target's fire!"
Hans shouted over the radio.
Xie Kao, who was at the outpost, was now like an ant on a hot pan.
Things changed so suddenly; his rescue convoy had only been out for an hour when the enemy came knocking.
There are tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, and according to reports from soldiers on the front lines, they look different from those at Niriliya.
Those must be the vehicles from the concentrated fire defense team. Aren't they in Kamalon? And they're out of ammunition, so what...?
A flash of inspiration struck Xie Kao.
They weren't short of ammunition; they were planning to come to the Sambisa Forest to steal his home.
The other party could cover hundreds of kilometers in the blink of an eye, that's terrifying!
"Beep beep beep"
Just then, Xie Kao's satellite phone rang.
"Boss, something terrible has happened! An attack helicopter attacked our convoy, all the vehicles were destroyed, and our personnel suffered heavy losses!"
Xie Kao nearly suffered a cardiac arrest upon hearing this devastating news.
"Splash splash"
