Chapter 91: Highway Blockade
Zhao Jianfei looked at the GPS locator and frowned, "We still have four kilometers to enter the predetermined position." If we shoot them, we will reveal where we are. ”
"But without getting rid of them, we can't get through guò at all. Gurkha Captain Surya said in a deep voice, "Fight quickly! Even the rebels in the town who are alarmed, they will have a reaction process." Once we've eliminated this outpost, we'll still be able to stop the rebels before they arrive. ”
Zhao Jianfei nodded and said, "Let's do it, Viper!"
Yelena's Viper title is not for nothing, fast and poisonous!
At the same time as Zhao Jianfei gave the order, she had already raised the gun in her hand. "Bang, bang!" the sound of the sniper rifle echoed heavily through the mountains and forests. The two militants immediately fell from the treehouse, and the bodies fell heavily to the ground. And the militant in the treehouse had just rushed out to check on the situation when he was shot in the head by Yelena's third shot.
The militant didn't even have time to snort before he fell from the treehouse. Zhao Jianfei shouted, "Let's go!" Pay attention to the vigilance ahead, and everyone runs forward. Lin Rui and Ivan had already rushed to the front, and the other team members followed. It only took them more than ten minutes to run more than four kilometers all the way through the woods.
After entering the predetermined position, Zhao Jianfei lit the signal fireworks, which will guide the helicopter to arrive. Because they marched lightly, large quantities of weapons, ammunition and equipment had to be brought in from helicopters. Soon a helicopter flew over, with a bundle of supplies hoisted underneath, dropped on their side, and then hurried away.
The dropped items, including a large amount of ammunition and squad medium machine guns, as well as some food and drinking water, were divided between the two squads.
Zhao Jianfei looked at the humble road below halfway up the mountain, and calmly ordered: "Surya, take your Gurkha team." Hold on to the right, stepped divisional fire. Lin Rui and Ivan set up bunkers to guard the left front. Qin Fen, Peng Lefeng, you go to the back of that rock to settle **. If the situation is critical, you can blow up the place and block their way completely. Yelena went to find a suitable sniper spot herself. I want you to be in battle in five minutes. ”
"Understood!" Surya led his eight squad members into the ambush on the right side of the road, while the members of the XCOM team held the left side. These were seasoned and veteran mercenaries, and almost immediately instinctively found the best ambush spots. Their numbers are limited, so this interception mission must make the most of the favorable terrain and conduct ambush operations. And try not to let the other side guess their number.
Just as Zhao Jianfei and the others were nervously preparing for battle, the other mercenaries on the other side had already launched an attack on the town controlled by the rebels.
"There's a firefight over there, and we should be here soon. All ready!" Zhao Jianfei said in a deep voice. "Not a single militant should be put into the mine. ”
Zhao Jianfei was right, Lin Rui saw some sneaky figures rushing over from the other end of the road. There were four vehicles in total, including three heavy trucks and a leading blue armed pickup. The armed rebels under the car were in a hurry, shouting and rushing towards this direction recklessly.
Zhao Jianfei stared at the display on the tactical rangefinder. As soon as the enemy troops came within range, he immediately opened all the communication channels and ordered: "Fire! Fire!"
Lin Rui had seen this kind of battle before, and when he fought against the pirates of Efuya, almost all of these soldiers in the local armed forces in Africa were of this virtue - they always looked like impatient novices on the battlefield, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of Lin Rui's mouth. Those old heavy trucks were not very good in the first place, and it was difficult to drive on this terrible road, not to mention the lack of overall coordination of these rebels - these all played into Lin Rui's hands.
Ignoring the noisy rebels, he stood still and launched a blockade. With an 8-magnification red dot sight, aiming at the driver's head is a breeze. He narrowed one eye, but moved the muzzle of the gun down a little.
"Dada...... Bang !!" Lin Rui's automatic rifle burst the front tire of the vehicle, and the blue pickup truck that was driving suddenly made a sharp turn, and the entire body turned sideways, almost overturning. Just when the driver was glad that he did not overturn, the heavy trucks behind him did not have time to brake, and they collided with each other in a series of rear-end collisions.
The convoy halted its advance, and the armed rebels retreated to the back of the vehicle. Suddenly, there was a burst of gunfire on the right side of the road. Apparently the guys of the Gurkha squad also made their moves. Bursts of bullets flew down like hailstones. One of the trucks slammed into a blow and the fuel cylinder burst. The rebels fell from the car and crawled behind the car.
Lin Rui immediately took out an M67 grenade, commonly known as Apple, unplugged the safety, and threw the grenade out. With a loud "boom", the grenade exploded, and after the explosion, the fragments were scattered, and the rebels wailed, and the lethality of this fragmentation grenade against the dense crowd was amazing.
But after a while, the rest of the rebel soldiers also pounced, roaring wildly. AK47's bullets rained down on the boulder where Lin Rui was hiding, sending stone chips flying and smoke everywhere. Lin Rui retreated, carrying an assault rifle and firing fiercely, and finally put down the militants who rushed up.
Many of the rebels seemed to be eager to kill and rushed in a frenzy. They did not hesitate to disrupt their formation and rushed to the front of their companions. Lin Rui saw a rebel with a recoilless gun, jumped out of the car, and hurriedly opened fire, the shell missed the target, and the hot tail flame from the barrel hit the truck behind him and set it on fire, and then it exploded into a flame.
However, the vast majority of the rebel fighters were quite sophisticated, and it was evident that they had been through the battle formations, and after the initial confusion, they began to seek a strategy to break through the defensive circle. A black man in a green beret led the entire counterattack. First, he ordered his troops to shrink and retreat moderately, rather than firing indiscriminately from the direction they had chosen. Then, he chose the area on the left side of the road with the lowest terrain and the most suitable for attacking, and attacked it again and again.
Lin Rui, Ivan and others were once overwhelmed by the concentrated firepower of the rebels. The defensive firepower on the left side was weakened by Yan zhòng, and a corner of the defensive ring began to show signs of loosening.
In response, Zhao Jianfei immediately asked the men and horses of the Gurkha mercenaries on the other side to strengthen the defense of the weak link, and ordered the sniper Yelena to concentrate his fire on the leader of the rebel army, and asked the machine guns set up in high places to fire alternately so as not to interrupt the fire.
If there is a weakness of the rebels' RPGs, it is that they are reloaded after each rocket is fired at intervals of several seconds. The members of the two squads took turns shooting, concentrating on the rebels close to the road, maximizing the suppressive power of their weapons
