From Arms Dealer To King of War

Chapter 1417 Aerial Fire

When the outside world was turbulent, the Huya team trapped in the mountainous area faced an arduous battle...

Nearly a hundred armed men attacked the hill where Huya Team was located from the west...

The people who came this time were all veterans of the battlefield. Not only did they spread out widely, but before the two sides came into contact, they began to use 60mm mortars to bombard the top of the mountain where the Huya team was located across a ridge.

The loss of nearly a hundred people in the previous round obviously aroused the opponent's anger. Not only was the firepower used much more ferocious, but the personnel attack was also much more determined.

The 60mm mortar is not too powerful, but its suppression effect is very obvious.

 “‘Donkey’ shot down their mortars…”

 ‘Radar’’s face was cut open by the rubble brought up by the explosion...

Looking at the enemy looming from the ridge on the opposite side, the 'radar' pulled the trigger of the rifle and fired a shot at the enemy nearly 500 meters away.

However, the effect of rifle fire is very bad. Hitting the ridge on the opposite side can only slightly stop the opponent's progress, but it is very difficult to kill the opponent.

This kind of positional warfare is a huge test for the special operations team. Giving up mobility means giving up personal abilities and tactical advantages for the special operations team, especially when the number of opponents is more than ten times their number...

Following the shouting of "radar", two explosions came from the west side of the ridge to the west...

Before the 'Donkey' had time to cheer, another mortar was released from the opposite side. Four small-caliber mortars hit the gravel area in front of the position. The flying gravel and smoke caused the Huya team to temporarily lose control. horizon.

“Boss, the opponent is making a detour from the south. We can’t hold on for long. Where are the old squad leader and the others?”

The sniper's muzzle was facing south and shot a running militant. However, facing more militants, the sniper felt a little stretched.

Just when the 'Radar' had taken care of the wound on its face and was about to call the 'Night Tiger', a mortar spanned a distance of several kilometers from the east and landed on the ridge opposite the position, knocking out an enemy machine gun position. Forced to retreat back...

Understanding that support must have arrived, the 'radar' pressed the communicator and shouted loudly: "Command center, help us point out the enemy's artillery positions..."

 “The command center received...”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a faint whistling in the sky. A Twin-tailed Scorpion lowered its altitude and launched 6 Blue Sword 7 missiles...

Two mortar targets of the militants were blown up, and several small roads that were easy to go up the mountain were also bombed. A dozen militants who were going up the mountain screamed and rolled down the hillside without making any sound.

At the same time that another explosion occurred on the ridge on the west side, the Two-tailed Scorpion began to climb rapidly...

However, the enemy once again showed their sophistication. When the Twin-tailed Scorpion dropped to an altitude of about 3,000 meters, two needle missiles took off.

 The accuracy of the needle missile is not very good, with a shooting height of only 3,500 meters and a range of only 6,000 meters.

 Adhering to Maozi's idea, needle missiles that are not accurate enough and powerful enough to use proximity fuses will produce more fragments, and the killing range and lethality against low-speed and fragile targets will be significantly higher.

Whether it is the Blue Sword 7 or the Hellfire used by P·B, they are obviously superior in range and performance. However, due to the complex terrain, the drone must lower its height to find a suitable angle before launching the missile. Lock on and attack the target.

The U.S. military left its advanced fighter jets and drones unused, and it was not without reason that it brought the sturdy and durable A-10 Warthog to Afghanistan to serve as the main force in air strikes.

The A-10's low-altitude performance and anti-beating body make it suitable for cover work in complex mountainous areas.

  The problem with the Scorpion drone is that it flies relatively slowly, and it is very difficult to escape after being targeted by a missile.

The Twin-Tailed Scorpion responsible for covering the Huya team released a series of decoy bombs, but the tail fin was still damaged by the missile explosion.

Seeing the two-tailed scorpion fly away from the battlefield with black smoke on its butt, the 'radar' looked at the ridge on the opposite side again...

A dozen militants took advantage of the cover of rocks and began to set up machine gun positions. Once they started firing, they would lose the ability to fight back.

‘Radar’ quickly counted the number of Spearhead missiles, and then he used the Telos system to quickly lock the location of the opponent’s gun position, then pressed the communicator and shouted loudly: "Old squad leader, how long do you have..."

‘Monkey’ has bypassed the battlefield and led the team to appear on the enemy’s flank. He can clearly see the enemy’s movement trajectory through the telescope.

Faced with the anxious call from the 'radar', 'Monkey' shook his head and said: "Calm down, I know you are anxious. In 15 minutes at most, the air force will launch a bombing on the enemy..."

‘Radar’ checked his watch and activated all the Spearhead missiles before the enemy on the distant ridge opened fire.

8 mini-missiles hit 8 machine gun positions with tail flames. At the same time as the explosion occurred, more firepower points appeared on the opposite mountain...

The destruction of the machine gun position made the opponent even more angry. The bullets fired by the AK rifle flew nearly 500 meters and were no longer accurate, but they were still lethal.

'Radar' leaned against the big rock and gasped violently for a few times, then pressed the communicator and shouted loudly: "'Night Owl', how is the situation in the south?" Sniper 'Night Owl' pulled the bolt of the gun and pulled the trigger. Knocking down an enemy slows down the opponent...

"Not so good? They still have 200 meters to reach our feet. I can only try my best to slow them down."

Upon hearing this, 'Radar' shouted loudly: "'Donkey' takes two people to help him. It will take 15 minutes. We have to hold on for at least 15 minutes..."

'Donkey' said hello loudly twice, then dragged a machine gun and an ammunition box, crawled along the ground for tens of meters under the enemy's indiscriminate gunfire, and avoided the enemy's fire on the hillside beside the sniper. Suppress and rush into a crude machine gun position established in advance...

 ‘Donkey’ pulled the trigger hard and sprayed bullets towards the enemies in the south...

 “Come on, come on, I’m all a soft persimmon, come on, come on, come on, come on…”

 A battle without depth and no way around is a kind of torture for the special forces.

 The mountains on both sides are 500 meters apart, and the efficiency of bullets in killing enemies is heartbreakingly low.

Even if you are a special force with Rambo per capita, you will still be overwhelmed when faced with this situation. Only when the enemy rushes close can you have a chance to counterattack.

 Fortunately, the drone destroyed the opponent's mortar, and our own mortars on the east side fired shells from time to time to hit the opponent's ridge and kill the opponent. Otherwise, whether the Huya team could last for 15 minutes is still a question...

 Just as the battle between the two sides was heating up, four Super Tucanos with re-mounted Feijian missiles began to take off from the Kandahar base.

This time the role of these Toucans is no longer for reconnaissance strikes. They will carry 5 missiles into the sky and then become an aerial turret...

 Because the frontline special forces will cooperate with the unmanned airship to conduct reconnaissance and locking, they do not even need to conduct reconnaissance and locking of the target themselves. They only need to launch Feijian missiles under the command of the command center, and they can ignore the rest.

 More than 100 kilometers, which is about ten minutes...

“Toucan Group A has entered the cruising area, and Feijian missiles are ready and can be launched at any time...”

In the command center, Tony raised his hand and shouted: "The coordinates of the 20 target targets have been bound, and the unmanned airship control team has taken over the missile system..."

‘Qingshan’ looked at the unskilled appearance of the unmanned airship control team. He picked up the radio and said decisively: “Toucan Team B takes off...”

 Speaking of "Qingshan", he hit the table in front of him hard and said loudly: "Launch missiles..."

  ………

Following the command’s order, the four Super Tucanos that had entered the combat area and were hovering at an altitude of 8,000 meters unlocked their pylons at the same time...

Five 250-kilogram Feijian missiles detached one after another. Within a few seconds after the detachment, a pair of wings opened on the back of the Feijian missile...

After sliding for a certain distance, the missile's built-in engine started running, and a cloud of gas exploded from the tail of the missile, then suddenly accelerated and disappeared into the darkness.

  ………

The moment the 'monkey' got the news, he pressed the communicator and shouted loudly: "'Radar', please stay hidden, the air strike will arrive in 2 minutes..."

 ‘Radar’ never understood what the so-called air strike was, but he instinctively chose to obey the order.

Seeing that the opponent had partially rushed down the hillside under the cover of random gunfire and was approaching the hill where he was, 'Radar' took the risk and buried a broad sword in the enemy's path, and then crawled quickly He retreated and shouted: "Back up, back up, find a place to hide..."

 The "Donkey" who was having a fierce exchange of fire with the enemy had finished firing the last few rounds of bullets and was about to change the ammunition box...

Seeing that the enemy was approaching 300 meters away from his side, the 'Donkey' shouted to his companions with some worry: "You retreat first, I will stop him..."

Before ‘Donkey’ had time to finish what he said, there were several roars from the sky…

The 'Feijian Missile' that had already flown over the target suddenly retracted its wings and adopted the top-attack mode to launch a vertical downward attack...

 “Boom, boom, boom…”

 A series of violent explosions sounded...

A few hundred meters away, 'Donkey' felt his body jump involuntarily. When he looked up to the south, he found three thick clouds of smoke rising from the south. The enemy who was charging towards this side just now was enveloped. In the thick of smoke…

What is even more bizarre is that on the mountain ridge on the west side, several missiles accurately hit the top of the mountain, and actually opened several terrible gaps in it, and a large amount of gravel flew out along with the smoke...
