After hearing the lock-on notification, all three anti-aircraft gunners fired their shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft missiles.
After flying a distance of ten or twenty meters from the launch tube, the missile ignited at the second stage and accelerated toward the two helicopters.
Compared to cruise missiles that fly at subsonic speeds in the terminal phase and anti-tank missiles that fly slowly, most of the mainstream man-portable air defense missiles on the international market can reach a top speed of around Mach 2.
Of course, there are exceptions like the Starlight, which approaches Mach 4 at its terminal speed, seemingly impossible to intercept by self-propelled anti-aircraft guns.
However, no missile can reach supersonic speeds immediately upon launch. After the second-stage cruise engine ignites, the acceleration phase, which lasts for hundreds or even thousands of meters, is the best interception phase.
To seize this fleeting opportunity, your radar must be sensitive enough and your fire control system must be advanced enough.
The Tunguska and the old cheetah were unstoppable, but the newly upgraded red cheetah had no such problem.
"Knock knock knock knock"
As the armored convoy entered the city of Elek, the Cheetah A9 gun barrels rose and fired 30 programmable airburst rounds at a muzzle velocity of Mach 3.5.
"Machine guns, not just one machine gun, but also grenade launchers. We can't get close at all."
"Knock knock knock"
In order to buy as much time as possible and kill as many Ace personnel as possible, the building was transformed into a temporary fire fortress by the concentrated fire defense, just waiting for the enemy to come to them.
Two BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicles, both captured from the Yilakou Army, became the best option, as they were hit and run, and were to hide before the enemy's attack helicopters returned.
The shock that Ace had experienced in the city of Balmira was being repeated tonight by Elek and other second-line personnel, and a deep sense of powerlessness instantly overwhelmed them.
Within a distance of less than one kilometer, these 30 interceptor missiles caught up with the airspace directly in front of the three anti-aircraft missiles that had just accelerated to Mach 1 and were climbing toward Mach 2.
"Beep beep"
The junior commander continued in his reply.
"The fourth level has lost contact. The people on the third level said that the enemy is attacking all the way down. They are afraid they won't be able to hold out for long and will be wiped out by the enemy."
The propellant, detonated at a set time, filled every corner of the designated airspace with pre-formed tungsten spheres, causing the portable anti-aircraft missiles that couldn't make sharp turns to crash into them.
Faced with the blockade of machine guns and automatic grenade launchers, personnel simply could not break through; they had to use 30mm autocannons to deal with them.
Even without the matching old-fashioned periscope lighting system, the night vision device with a laser pointer can lock on very clearly.
Below, Paul was the first to set up a sniper position, while Leonard pulled out his field tripod from a pile of supplies, set up the MG3 on it, and immediately turned it into a fixed firing point.
I want to use a machine gun to clean up the rooftop.
Old Ke, who was controlling the drone, immediately deduced the other party's intentions.
With his back against the wall, the grassroots commander who remained in the residential area shouted loudly into the radio.
Thanks to Hussein's warning, Arshepur, who rushed to the production area, escaped the disaster, but also learned the devastating news that the headquarters had been captured by the concentrated fire defense.
"Bang bang bang"
Infantry fighting vehicles are indeed a perfect match for infantry, but when facing well-equipped elite infantry, things change.
The Inspire 2 drone, hovering at low altitude, transmits images that are not visible from the rooftop view back to the screen, including two familiar vehicles—BMP-2s.
"Woo"
"Bang"
Meanwhile, on the other side, II, with the help of V, set up a certain 12.7mm heavy machine gun, the lightest in the world, with boxes of bullets piled up to the side.
Upon seeing this, Xia Yu stopped firing and turned to fly towards the mining area where gunfire was still raging.
"What about the people who stayed behind at headquarters? How are they doing?"
With the attack helicopter flying to the production area, the biggest threat was eliminated, and the two BMP-2 helicopters that Hosseini had left in Elek could be put to use.
How to play
What do you think we should do?
They can only stand still and take the beating. Against an extremely strong opponent, all their efforts are just a struggle, only delaying their defeat, and cannot change the outcome.
After unloading the mixed cargo and personnel, the baggage flying machine unit immediately withdrew to a supply point in the desert.
Only in this way can the sound of bullets be suppressed so that the other side can hear clearly.
"There's no other way. I'll send in infantry fighting vehicles. You must hold on."
A general-purpose machine gun and a heavy machine gun, two firing positions, one on the left and one on the right, formed a fan shape, blocking the area directly opposite the small building.
"Boom boom boom"
The heavy machine guns began to roar, mercilessly reaping the lives of the second wave of armed personnel who had arrived.
At the entrance to the rooftop, Tom used a shotgun to unlock the inner door, and two four-man CQB teams, each with Big Yellow and Big Black, went down to search.
On average, dozens of 12.7mm tungsten-core armor-piercing rounds would reduce an AK-47 to scrap metal, let alone a human body.
Their mission was to clear the four floors as quickly as possible and then return to the rooftop to assist Leonardo and his team in their defense.
"What did you say? They captured headquarters."
Compared to a cannonball that has already accelerated in the barrel, a missile that accelerates further after launch is at a significant disadvantage.
Arshebur said, watching the Mi-24V fly away.
Two marksmen were positioned to cover the left and right, while snipers and an HKMG automatic grenade launcher were deployed behind them.
The newly organized counterattack firepower was instantly suppressed, and the Super Hornet flying over the small building dropped five ropes. The nine instructors, along with the six members of Group 2, rappelled down to the roof in four batches with their equipment and supplies.
The Deer Tiger, leading the Super Hornet by one camera position, began to roar, and countless bullets were fired at the front yard of the small building, knocking the armed personnel inside to the ground, leaving only remnants of their limbs hanging there.
These guys are oversimplifying things. They can't compare to the Chinook, but the Super Hornet is pretty good at putting on airs.
They only transported less than half of the personnel; the rest of the load consisted entirely of equipment and supplies.
Guess how many anti-tank missiles are in here.
The answer is 3 launchers and 6 horns, waiting for armored vehicles that are cheap to pick up.
There were two BMP-2s, one for him and one for Lawrence.
After confirming the other party's exact location and speed, Christian controlled the Inspire-2 to return to base with a single key press.
"Platypus, prepare the short signal at 11 o'clock!"
"Platypus received!"
Lawrence retrieved two folded individual Kornet launchers from the pile of equipment supplies, unfolded them, mounted the launch tubes, and actively switched to another frequency band of laser beam riding.
The vehicle-mounted version is automatically controlled. To prevent multiple Kornets from launching simultaneously and the missiles from being interfered with by the laser beam riding of friendly forces, this individual launcher is equipped with a function to manually switch frequency bands.
Meanwhile, Old K aimed at another BMP-2 at the 2 o'clock position, both men holding their breath and waiting for their targets to appear.
"Puff puff whoosh whoosh"
As soon as half of the vehicle body was exposed, two short horns were ejected from their tubes and accelerated toward the target, guided by the laser beam.
It's a bit embarrassing to talk about acceleration; the top speed is only 240 m/s. If the enemy's two 2A46 cannons were replaced with a combination of Tunguska's 2A38M and radar, they could have taken down those two Kornets.
But these days, which extremist organization has self-propelled anti-aircraft guns? It's more realistic to seize tanks equipped with active protection systems.
However, if none of these are present, the outcome is already predetermined.
"Boom boom"
In the pitch black, the two BMP-2s that were trying to get closer to take a target were still moving when they were hit by two missiles and turned into two fireballs.
The local commander, who was less than 500 meters away, was stunned to see the reinforcements being wiped out.
Ambushing and using anti-tank missiles to "steal" vehicles—isn't that their tactic?
Upon hearing Lao Ke's report, Xia Yu remarked that using a BMP-2 to clean up buildings was less effective than using a Zu-23-2 with a pickup truck!
A smaller caliber doesn't have much of an impact; adding night vision devices can greatly increase the difficulty of aiming anti-tank missiles at night.
But the other side wants to use a BMP-2, which means they'll have to fire at close range.
There's no other way but to satisfy them. As part of Jihuo Defense's performance record, this adds two more payments to be made.
"Bang bang bang"
Inside the small building, gunfire erupted on the second floor. Mariano, wielding an MP5MLI with a modified MP5N naval grip, took down the last civilian employee, Ace, with a short burst of fire, and then replaced the magazine on his submachine gun.
For indoor CQB, he still prefers to use an MP5 player; short bursts aren't his thing.
Tom, who served as an assault soldier in another group, expressed his strong agreement, saying that submachine guns were the best.
However, once the distance increases, it's best to switch back to a rifle!
Continuing their assault on the first floor, neither group encountered any significant resistance until they discovered a bank-like layout.
Ace's cash deposit point is their bank, which serves to distribute members' salaries, convert loot into cash, and handle deposits and withdrawals.
"The boss was right, we've caught a big fish, but we didn't find any cash here. The money should be somewhere..."
Tom was talking to Anton when his eyes drifted toward the entrance to the basement.
Yes, the money should be in the basement, with the last Ace members in this building.
"Everyone put on gas masks. Prepare for the assault in three minutes!"
"yes!"
All personnel in the firefighting unit were issued gas masks, which are used in conjunction with tear gas. They are ineffective against toxic gases such as mustard gas.
Those insidious things will infect you if they come into contact with your skin; you have to wear a protective suit like Baymax to avoid them.
Xia Yu had heard that Ace had this kind of weapon, but she had never encountered it in the Balmira area.
The eight people present split into two groups, put on gas masks, and then walked with their backs against the wall to the basement entrance.
Tom and Mariano each held a tear gas canister in their hands, pulled the pins, and threw them together into the downward tunnel.
"Slap slap"
The gas bomb struck the wall of the middle floor and veered towards the last flight of stairs.
"Da da da"
The sound of AK gunfire rang out, but the bullets missed everyone, while the tear gas indiscriminately irritated everyone's mucous membranes.
"Cough cough"
The gunfire stopped abruptly, followed by violent coughing.
"rush!"
After waiting for about a minute, Tom and Mariano led the charge down the slope.
"Bang bang"
The two men kept firing their MP5MLIs, and since they hadn't specifically instructed anyone to be spared, they left no one alive.
One spent cartridge case after another was ejected, and 9mm Parabellum pistol rounds pierced the skulls of these militants, who lay sprawled on the ground, tears and snot streaming down their faces.
Following behind the two men, Anton and Ivan kept firing shots and counting, and they killed nearly 20 people in total in the basement.
With so many people and such a large space, the power of flashbang grenades is very limited, so tear gas is still the only option.
"Safety!"
"Safety!"
After confirming that there were no targets breathing, the six men who attacked the basement finally relaxed.
Two other people stayed on the first floor with Big Yellow and Big Black, away from the small building but not exposed to the rooftop's field of vision. This area was Old Ke's blind spot before launching the drone for the second time, so it was important to pay attention to it.
"Woo"
After replacing the battery, the Inspire 2 took off again, and its thermal imaging camera clearly captured four or five figures in the corner.
Anton and Ivan immediately went upstairs to meet up with the two on the first floor, and then they made their way to the "smart kids".
"Bang bang bang"
With a single sweep of fire from the extended sigsg552, all five men fell to the ground.
Ivan aimed his gun at each person's forehead and fired a follow-up shot, in case they were wearing bulletproof vests and pretending to be dead.
"Calling the fennec fox, i, platypus, and everyone else, this is the echidna. Guess what the otter and I found?"
Tom called all his colleagues on the combat channel in the living area.
"Echidna: The Dollar or BRICS?"
Old Ke asked Tom.
"It's all here, a whole wall of US dollars, and hundreds of kilograms of gold bars!"
Tom sounded extremely excited.
"Then let's not send it. We need to tell the boss the good news right away."
"Putting on gloves and replacing the spare barrel on the MG3, Leonardo said happily."
"How many of those are for an entire wall? It's probably worth hundreds of millions, you echidna!"
Lawrence is more concerned with specific numbers.
"The hundreds of millions are all in denominations of $100. The US dollars here are mainly in denominations of $20 and $50. Only a few million are in Franklin, which should be the salaries paid to mid- to high-ranking commanders."
That's true. Americans don't always get paid in $100 bills; they usually use smaller denominations of US dollars.
"Also, these gold bars look a bit rough. They're probably made from necklaces, bracelets, rings, or even antiques, so their purity is relatively limited."
Tom picked up a gold brick and added.
"Then you need to give us a number so we can talk to the boss."
"It's definitely at least 30 million, but whether it's 40 million is hard to say."
That's roughly the figure. The combined income of the more than 3,000 people in the two cities, their wages and savings, and the revenue from the smuggling of crude oil by Elek, is about 40 million.
The spoils of this operation set a new record for all previous operations of Jihuo Defense.
In the past, it was usually several million or ten million, unlike today where we ate our fill all at once.
It's safe to say that Ace is indeed worthy of the name; he's adept at smuggling crude oil and cultural relics, robbing banks, and collecting religious taxes.
These ill-gotten gains stained with blood deserve to be confiscated and confiscated by the defense forces that uphold justice and safeguard peace.
Because of money, Ace is more organized and has greater destructive power than the base.
Now they've lost all their money and are about to die. Let's see how much longer they can keep this up.
"Hey boss, this is Fennec Fox, we have some good news for you."
Old Ke got in touch with Xia Yu.
