"Well, I'll check first,"

Turning on the switch and stuffing the walkie-talkie between the chair cushion and his buttocks, Basel took out his mobile phone and swiped it on the screen a few times, then frowned and snorted, "It's really close to us, about two or three minutes away!" Tahir, immediately let the convoy evacuate nearby, and the personnel get out of the car to take shelter for a while. ”

Ordering the driver Tahir to turn on the radio and call every truck in the convoy to leave the road and park on the undulating ground near the village, Bassel, who jumped out of the SUV, waved the AKS74 in his hand, and asked the driver and team members to choose where to park the vehicles, check the camouflage net and splash water on the hood, and then immediately leave the truck with weapons and find a shelter place where they could stay. After shouting a few times, he turned around and saw Long Yun also jumping out of the car, but the lieutenant beckoned him to hurry back into the car, and asked Tahir to take the others and drive away to the side again, until they drove between two sand walls on the edge of the village, and hid in the shadow of the afternoon sun.

Leaving the convoy with the lieutenant and the others and taking refuge on the side of the village, Long Yun knew that Basel was not cowardly, but worried about the personal safety of his "distinguished guest".

Originally, even if an enemy plane was found in the nearby airspace, would the convoy have to cover up as if it were facing a great enemy?

Unconsciously took out the pistol in his arms, and pulled the sleeve of the Beretta 92F a few times to confirm that the bullet was loaded, of course Long Yun knew that this pistol was just a children's toy in front of the plane, and he was completely subconsciously looking for something to do. Just after entering Iraq, there was an emergency. He originally thought that Basel and the others were a little bit of a soldier, but as time passed, the whistling sound of jet fighters from the sky gradually became clearer, and there was obviously more than one sound, and the enemy plane was really coming this way!

These whizzing planes, apparently only from the FIAF, are they really here to search and attack the convoys coming and going in the Liberal Party-controlled districts?

Looking at the sky from the side of the earthen wall, but not immediately seeing the incoming enemy plane, Long Yun whispered to Tahir beside him.

"Yes, at least probably. They didn't do this very often before. But now. It's just too ordinary. ”

Seeing the silent driver with a stern face, holding the AK-12 rifle belt on his shoulder with one hand, and holding an "arrow" anti-aircraft missile launcher leaning against the earthen wall with the other, Long Yun thought about it. I understand why.

Isn't it? What happened in this wolf-smoked land. Originally, we can't speculate with the so-called common sense.

Generally speaking, warplanes cruising in the air will naturally choose conspicuous military targets or high-value ground targets to strike. But now that you think about it on your toes, how many "high-value" targets in northern Iraq, where decades of war have been waged, will there be "high-value" targets worthy of fighter attacks? If no other targets can be found, a convoy of trucks shuttling up and down the road is also a good option: Iran has been trading arms with the New Iraqi regime, and Baghdad is not unaware of this, so it is only natural that they will send warplanes to search for and attack the trucking convoy when they have air supremacy.

In an instant, he figured this out, and for the first time in the real world, Long Yun still felt a little nervous.

At this moment, the roar of fighter planes in the sky became more and more harsh, and for a while it was a little unclear how many planes were flying in the sky, but Basel, who was experienced in combat, was not afraid of this formation, he looked at it from the other side of the earthen wall for a moment, and then raised his hand to point to the sky in the southeast direction:

"Tahir, enemy planes are coming from five o'clock; You and Negi go to the foot of the house over there, keep aiming northwest, and don't fire missiles without my orders. ”

"Yes, Mr. Basel."

Seeing that Lieutenant Basel made a quick decision and chose a nearby "position" to deploy man-portable missiles, Long Yun felt that this person's tactical literacy was not bad, and the location he had chosen, if the enemy planes really came from the southeast, it would be impossible to see them, and when these planes completed their attacks and flew away, they would face the tail vent that the infrared missiles were most likely to capture at Tahir and others, and expose them to the sight of the "Arrow" missile.

But even so, seeing the small black dots representing enemy planes appear in the sky, Long Yun could still feel his heart pounding.

Is it such a dangerous situation when you encounter an enemy for the first time after entering the country?

After hurriedly looking at the composition of the entire material transport team before leaving, Long Yun did not see a single vehicle-mounted air defense weapon, let alone a special air defense vehicle, obviously the team was not ready to deal with the air attack; Now, relying only on a "arrow" launcher and two spare missiles in the hands of the driver Tahir, it can be said that in the face of the air attack of enemy planes, it can be said that there is more than one bad luck.

Yes, in the face of enemy aircraft roaring in the sky, the man-portable anti-aircraft missile on the shoulders was once mythologized as a weapon to counter air attacks, but in fact it is difficult to play its due role.

Most man-portable air defense missiles have seeker performance similar to air-to-air missiles such as AIM-9L and R-73, and they do not have the ability to intercept head-on missiles with actual combat significance, and can only wait until the enemy aircraft completes the attack and disengages before trying to launch; In addition, what is even more lethal is that in order to ensure portability and sufficient mobility, the size and weight of individual air defense missiles are very small, and if the aircraft flies a little faster or a little higher, the missile may not be able to track, and the result is that it will be 100 percent off target.

As a former military cadet and a battlefield veteran in a parallel world, Long Yun's analysis of the situation is still quite in place; Just when he thought that this journey was dangerous, and that it was impossible for the enemy plane to fail to find the unobstructed freight truck on the flat terrain, there was a strange howling sound mixed with a sharp sound in his ears, and then several people felt the ground tremble under their feet, and the sound of explosions had already reached their ears a moment earlier, and the enemy plane had already discovered the target and began to drop bombs on the trucks on the ground!

Hundreds or even hundreds of kilograms of aerial bombs are thrown down at every turn, and the trucks and supplies destroyed are likely to be of no bomb value, but the deep-pocketed FIAF does not seem to care about this anymore, and the FIAF pilots flying several "Jaguar" attack planes circle and search in the air, passing between the sparse firepower on the ground, and dropping aerial bombs on the area where every suspicious target is located.

The bombardment by hordes of warplanes soon left the area on one side of the road up to the village in a mess, thick smoke billowed from the road, and the dust and smoke raised by the bombs everywhere in sight, and the parts and debris of the bombed trucks flew everywhere in the sky, and the scene became extremely chaotic for a while.

Originally, he was on the road as a convoy escort, but now he saw the trucks being swallowed up by the smoke and dust rising into the sky, and the young man who was squatting at the foot of the house with the driver shouted back that he had already seen two or three "Jaguar" fighters that had completed the dive bomb drop flying overhead, and he didn't understand why the lieutenant didn't give the order:

"Mr. Basel! - Let's open fire and let them get some punishment! ”

"Not yet, Negi!"

As if also stimulated by the chaos in front of him, looking from a hidden place that had not yet been noticed by enemy aircraft, Lieutenant Basel unconsciously picked up the AKS74 in his hand and aimed it in the sky, he knew very well that this thing was useless in front of the plane. Shouldering the important duty of escorting the "volunteer pilot", he cannot now arbitrarily order the launch of MANPADS, and the narrow white smoke raised by the "Arrow" missile will almost certainly reveal the location of the launcher; And if he stayed in command and let Mr. Pilot stay alone away from the convoy, it would indeed be too risky.

With the consciousness of completing the mission, that is, a quick mental weighing of the pros and cons, Lieutenant Basel naturally chose to protect the pilots, knowing how important these volunteers were to NATA, to the New Party, and to the future of Iraq.

However, at this moment, the lieutenant, who did not have time to inform the villagers to evacuate, was very angry, and he did not know how many innocent compatriots would be killed in the explosion:

"Look, Mr. Pilot! These guys in the name of freedom are not doing anything honorable. When you get to our troops and fly the fighters, you will definitely teach us a good lesson to these guys, they are too self-righteous and too indiscriminate to throw bombs! ”

"Okay, I'll do my best."

Unlike the very angry lieutenant, although he has experienced an unprecedented fierce world war in a parallel world, Long Yun, who is really in the modern battlefield where fighter planes are roaring and explosions are shaking the sky, is still a little stunned when he feels the raging breath of death at close range, and he is so unfamiliar with the scene in front of him that he doesn't know what he is going to do next.

Looking back on the past, the battle in that bizarre parallel world, even if it was a sinister fighter to the death, was fought in the sky after all, and the tragic and bloody battle was not a concept at all. Now, having experienced the war in a distant foreign land, witnessing the severed arms and stumps of the unfortunate flying in the air waves, and feeling the impact of explosions sweeping over his body, he suddenly broke free from the innate panic and confusion in his heart, and instead a strong fighting spirit emerged from the bottom of his heart.

His eyes were fixed on the FIAF fighter plane in the sky, and Long Yun's voice became hoarse:

"Lieutenant, why didn't you give the order to attack? Even if there are only two missiles, we should try our best to save ourselves and destroy the enemy! (To be continued......)
