Chapter 323 You Can't Rely On Others, Just Rely On Yourself

7pm

The second crash point.

Markham Road, which had been crazy for a whole afternoon, also returned to calm as night fell, and the Somali people who crowded the streets also dispersed one after another.

Only Aidid's armed militia remained, hiding in various dark corners to monitor the crash site.

Just in case the duck you got flew away.

On the defense line at the crash site, Long Zhan and the others also retreated to the house at this time, helping each other to treat the wounds on their bodies.

The bandage that should be bandaged, the bleeding that should be stopped.

Only Suhart and Gordon were left, and they continued to stay outside to take charge of vigilance, lest the Somalis who used all kinds of tricks make a surprise attack.

The people in Delta continued to work, and the SEAL team 6 went back to the house to rest. It was not "more people bullying fewer people".

Sniper Well.

Observing vigilance is our old profession.

The most important thing is that the two are snipers, and the combat method itself is very insignificant. Basically, they hide in the bunker after shooting a shot. The time for the probe to fire is short, and the possibility of exposing the body parts to be hit by the enemy is low.

It doesn't have to be as dangerous as a machine gunner, and continuous firing is equivalent to long-term exposure of the body.

During the entire afternoon of fighting, the two of them had nothing to do except for being scratched by the splashed stones, and there was no need to bandage the wound at all.

The wound was almost treated, Sonny said: "Report on the ammunition situation."

"I only have one left."

Clay patted the magazine pouch on his chest. The upper and lower rows of bags were basically flattened, leaving only one magazine left on the upper right.

"There are more than a dozen rounds left in the rifle, and the rest..."

Brian pulled out the P226 pistol on his thigh, pulled down the cover and said, "The pistol still has three magazines, so I can make do with it."

"I only have this one drum, and there are probably more than 300 rounds in the gun."

Long Zhan's chest bag with a magazine on his chest has long been lost, and the single bag with a magazine hanging around his waist is also gone, making him look a little smaller.

"My thing can only be used as a baseball bat."

Sonny pulled the trigger of the MK46, there was only a clicking sound, and the expression on his face was very depressed and annoyed.

"I still have……"

"Keep that squirt gun away."

Durant wanted to report on the ammunition, but Sonny pushed it back impatiently, which made Durant blush and embarrassed.

At the same time, I feel guilty.

If it wasn't for coming to save him, the people in front of him would not be in the current crisis. As an oil bottle, he has no right to say anything.

"Man, you did a good job this afternoon."

Long Zhan patted Durant on the shoulder encouragingly, dispelling the embarrassment caused by the irritable Sonny, and said with a frown: "Continuing on like this is not an option.

The Somalis will definitely not let it go, and there will be another battle when they rest.

If we continue to stay here and cannot move, we will all become sheep waiting to be slaughtered as soon as the bullets run out. We will either be captured alive or shot to death randomly.

Sonny, why don't you ask the command center again, when will the ground troops come to rescue us?Can you send us supplies? "

"There was intensive gunfire from the direction of the first crash point just now, maybe they are already launching operations." Clay added.

"These damned politicians can easily solve the problem by sending ghost gunships to bomb all the way, but they insist on making it so complicated."

Sonny complained a lot, and then pressed the radio to call: "Romeo 64, I'm Suit 64, how long will it take for the ground troops to come?"

"Romeo 64 has been received. The combat center has sent people to negotiate with the United Nations Army. When the time comes, a convoy of tanks and armored vehicles will enter the city for rescue. Please continue to stand by."

Lieutenant Colonel Harrell has been transferred from the helicopter to the "porcupine building" at the airport.

The porcupine building is a "harmonious name" for the combat center, because its roof is covered with various antenna radars, so it is called a vivid name by the people at the base.

"Romeo 64, I need to know the time, the specific time, our ammunition has been exhausted, and we can no longer continue."

When Sonny heard that the tank and armor convoy was coming, he was not the slightest bit happy, but became even angrier.

Command has been painting a big pie.

For a while it was said that the Humvee team was coming to rescue, for a while it was said that the Delta team was rushing there on foot, and for a while it was said that the Tenth Mountain Division had already set off.

As a result, all the support mentioned has not been seen until now.

After so many hopes and disappointments, Sonny was tired of all the flattery, he just wanted the most solid information.

Lieutenant Colonel Harrell did not reply immediately, because he did not know how long it would take.

The only known information is...

Chief of Staff Cribbs and Major General Montgomery, commander of the United Nations conventional forces in Somalia, have negotiated with Pakistani and Malaysian army commands to lease their tanks and armored vehicles for rescue.

At the same time, a call was made to Italian army commanders, asking them to send dozens of tanks to Mogadishu.

Italian troops are based farther away, in ElBaradei, 30 miles from Mogadishu.

If the tanks and armored vehicles of the combat troops are all in the same headquarters, they can be mobilized immediately with a single order, and they can be driven to Mogadishu within an hour.

Lieutenant Colonel Harrell can pat his chest and say that the ground troops will definitely arrive within an hour.

But tanks and armored vehicles need to be seconded, which has become an international affair.

The headquarters of Pakistan, Malaysia, and Italy all need to report to the country first, and get the permission of their respective domestic governments before agreeing to second the armored tanks.

This is the beginning.

It will take a lot of time to formulate the subsequent rescue plan, how to cooperate with the troops of various countries, and prepare for the departure of tanks and armored vehicles.

Two hours, three hours, or even longer.

Lieutenant Colonel Harrell couldn't give an answer, and he couldn't give a desperate answer, so he could only continue to flicker: "The tank team is already preparing, hold on, we will definitely rescue you."

"Oh, I want to stick to it..." Clay sighed a long time.

Basically know what the result is!
Sonny was also so angry that his head hurt, and he almost cursed on the radio.

It took a lot of effort to hold back his temper, no longer entangled with the ground troops, and asked a simpler question: "We urgently need ammunition supplies to sustain it. Can you send a helicopter to drop supplies for us?"

When Sonny asked this, there was another long silence.

The Black Hawk helicopters are now undergoing emergency repairs. The only intact Super 68 Black Hawk was "seriously injured" after a trip back just now.

The only thing left that could move was the Little Bird helicopter, but he couldn't deliver supplies with this thing.

The most important thing is that because of the emergence of anti-aircraft guns, the second crash point was designated as a high-risk area. Without a good-performance Black Hawk, they dare not enter at all.

Lieutenant Colonel Harrell, who was silent for a long time, could only truthfully say to Sonny: "The command center has no way of judging how many anti-aircraft guns there are near the second most crash point, and there is no way to provide air support to you for the time being."

"Fuck, fuck you."

Sonny couldn't hold back any longer, and directly breathed out fragrance on the radio.

"Suit 64, please keep calm. I believe that with your abilities, you will be able to persist until the convoy arrives. We will try our best to provide all assistance."

There is nothing Harrell can do about being scolded, he can understand Sonny's mood at the moment.

Sonny was too lazy to talk nonsense and ended the communication directly.

"It seems that we can't sit still and wait for death. We have to find a way to solve the problem by ourselves."

Long Zhan suddenly stood up from the ground, looked around the crowd and said sonorously: "Since others cannot be relied on, then we will rely on ourselves."

What is a word amazing.

This is!
Sonny, Clay, Brian and Durant were all stunned by Long Zhan's words, and at the same time they were curious about how Long Zhan could save himself.

You must know that with their current situation, no matter what they do, it is basically a dead end.

Unless there are really friendly troops coming to support, or taking a risk to gamble, abandon this defensive point and rush to join other Ranger troops at night.
