Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 990
"Get out of the car, get out of the car! Be alert!"

"Quick, the first row goes to the front and controls the left front intersection. The second row goes to the right, and the third row is in the center!"

At [-]:[-], the convoy arrived in Panama City.

There are still 10 minutes before the general offensive that starts at one o'clock, and the Sharp Knife Task Force that has just arrived within the urban area obviously has no way to reach their target location: the headquarters building of the Pakistan National Defense Forces within 10 minutes.
From the counterattack of the fifth company of the Pakistani Army in the base before leaving the camp, to the militia along the way, and even a small group of resistance formed spontaneously by the people, all of these seriously slowed down the pace of Carter and his party's advance.

But Carter felt that he was very lucky. The main force of the sharp knife was divided into three parts during the process, and the advancing teams on the left and right wings encountered organized ambushes.Two M113s damaged, one gunner killed
Only Carter's team had encountered militiamen with only light weapons.Hiding in the armor protection of M113, apart from being noisy and nervous, there is no threat to safety.

But all of this came to an abrupt end when they entered the urban area.

When entering the city, all members of the team in the joint unit got off the car.The soldiers of the ground forces are responsible for protecting the smooth passage of the armored convoy and preventing some "desperadoes" carrying bombs on the roadside from committing suicide attacks and the like.
In the air, two AH-6 Little Bird helicopters arrived at the same time, and they will help the infantry solve the possible threats on the roof
The strength of nearly three battalions was scattered on the relatively narrow road in Panama City, and the team was stretched very long.

After arranging the arrangements for the soldiers of his company according to the colonel's order, Carter followed in the middle of the team, walking slowly.Occasionally, the sound of gunfire ahead can be heard in the ear, but they are all short-lived.
At this time, on the street, there were more soldiers chatting occasionally, as well as the sporadic sound of doors being pushed by the side of the road.
“Vete a casa y no salgas!”

When he saw a child's head exposed behind the door of a residential house on the side of the road, Carter stretched out his hand, pretended to be fierce, and told him to go back in a little simple Spanish that he had just learned, don't be curious about what happened outside What.

The sudden attack by the United States caught everyone by surprise.Of course, Carter also has reason to suspect that this is purely because of the dish
They all announced that they have entered a state of war with the United States, and the fifth company in the Amador base in front has not yet withdrawn.And the people, well, they may not be able to react, or in other words, they didn't expect the war to come so soon!

It was less than a week before Noriega declared a state of war.

There were frequent resistances along the way, but none of them were intense. Carter, who was in the center of the team, never got a chance to fire.Just listening to the front, occasionally some gunshots came from the rear, listening to the team gradually arriving near the headquarters building of the Pakistan National Defense Forces.

The headquarters building is not a building, but a complex of buildings.

On both sides of the main building, there are four buildings surrounding it, with a square-like open space in the middle.Here, resistance climbs quickly.
"Let's encircle this place first, the fourth battalion, leave it to you! The fifth battalion is responsible for the frontal firepower."

"The left wing of company B, the right wing of company C, I lead companies A and D, and the battalion headquarters platoon, responsible for the rear deployment and control of the building complex, company E maneuvers, and reinforces the companies at any time"

After a brief meeting, the team began to diverge.Carter took the armored vehicles of Company C and began to turn right.
Accompanied by the sound of the two little bird helicopters overhead as if the bullets cost nothing, Carter and his convoy arrived on the street on the right side of the building complex in a short while.

Fifteen M113 armored vehicles lined up and stopped. While blocking the entire street with armored vehicles, Carter was also busy deploying other defense forces.

"Charles, take a squad, go to the third floor over there, and set up the grenade launcher"

Following the direction of Carter's finger, Charles, the operator in charge of the grenade launcher, saw a small four-story building on the side of the street.The balcony on the third floor is very large. To be precise, the window sill is very low, and the shooting range is relatively good.

"Yes, sir!"

After mentally confirming that there was nothing wrong with the position, Charles led his grenade team and a squad responsible for protecting them upstairs and setting up a grenade launcher position and hurried away.
"Snipers are free to move, and the rest of the platoons, along this street, set up sentry points. Bourne, machine guns are deployed in these positions. Remember, at most one-third of the manpower can be used to build fortifications! The rest, alert"

The exchange of fire on the front of the building was still going on, and Carter looked up while waiting for the soldiers to move sandbags from the armored vehicles to form a temporary fortification.

In the building with broken windows, figures flickered and flames flew.In front of him was a four-storey annex building, and the inside of the building was pitch black.
The main entrance faces the annex building on the right side of the square, and there are only one window facing the direction of the Fifth Battalion on each floor in the corridor.Obviously, the deployment of troops in this building does not improve the firepower much, and the defense force of the Pakistani army has basically given up deploying troops in this building.

The temporary simple fortifications were set up quickly. As the soldiers entered the battle positions, Carter, who had no battle in front of him, looked at the situation for a while and confirmed that there were several openings on this street that were relatively easy for the enemy to emerge, and they had been shot by machine guns. After the blockade, I found a wall and leaned against it to wait.
Although having experience in firefights is a greater help for promotion, Carter didn't have the slightest intention to join in the fun head-on.There is no one in the building in front of him, so Carter is happy to be at leisure!

No one is good, no one is safe!

Bored and leaning against the bottom wall of the building, there is an M113 in front, and on the left and right, there are many soldiers who have not entered the battle positions on the street, just like Carter, resting against the wall, waiting to break into the building command of the general attack.

Let's be honest, the U.S. military is kind of boring to fight.

Looking at the Bird Helicopter, which was hovering in the sky, and the machine guns had never been broken, and the front, the guns were blasting to wash the ground.Carter seems to understand where the rabbit's "fear of insufficient firepower" comes from.
Bullets and cannonballs seem to be free of money. First plow the ground three times until the beating is almost done, and then the infantry will go in to finish.this kind of battle
Carter can only say comfortable!
Just like himself now, he doesn't need to do anything, just wait quietly and watch the artillery fire wash away the ground quietly.

But this sense of participation is really low to almost none.Occasionally, the machine gun on the right side of the road, which is close to the main building of the Pakistan National Defense Forces Building, will fire several times.Except for giving the main building some firepower from the side, the rest of the entire C company had no chance to shoot at all!

And this place is no different than other places in the city. The Panamanians who are willing to resist here are basically in the main building. Even if he wants to find a guy who puts a cold gun, Carter can't find it.
Except for the soldiers who entered the fortifications on the street, seventy pairs of idle eyes wandered back and forth.And suddenly, an exclamation sounded.
"OH, my god!! They shot it down?!"

Following the exclamation of the soldiers, Carter raised his head, and saw a scene he will never forget:

An AH-6 Little Bird helicopter was spinning and getting bigger and bigger in Carter's eyes!

The machine gunner on the wing is struggling to unfasten his seat belt; the pilot flashing by, his mouth is moving rapidly
