Don't talk about martial arts, I'm a war contractor

Chapter 183 Fire coverage, speed through the minefield (5K please subscribe!)

With ammo reloaded, you can always trust Blackman.

BM-21 Hail is loaded purely manually. It takes 40 minutes to fill 20 tubes. With the help of a crane, it can be shortened to 10 minutes.

Of course, both China and Eastern Europe have innovated and developed new rocket launchers that can automatically load one round within 3 minutes, ensuring the absolute rate of fire of the first two rounds.

"ready, go!"

Xia Yu clicked on the stopwatch on his mobile phone. Masar emptied the launch tube of a Hailstone on the spot and sent out a loading team of the rocket launcher squad for a practical drill.

Very quickly, the 9M22U rocket, which was pre-installed with a fuze and could be fired at any time, was lifted by a crane to the waist position, and the two men fed the bomb into the tube in a relay style.

Two people standing on the car, one left and one right, assisted the loading in place, and the close cooperation between the members kept the average time of each loading within 12 seconds.

In other words, the interval between two rounds of shooting is less than 8 minutes, and 800 rockets can be emptied in more than half an hour.

"You have set a record, but it is not easy to apply for Guinness World Records."

Seeing the stopwatch freeze at 7 minutes 51 seconds 87, Xia Yu said to Marsal with admiration.

This is probably the last afterglow of traditional rocket launchers!
Because automatic loading seems to be a bit outdated in active use, everyone is studying modular loading, turning fixed launch tubes into quickly replaceable ammunition boxes.

After shooting one box, replace it with the next, and you can also choose various calibers to arrange and combine to meet multi-purpose needs.

But Afica, the version is definitely one or two generations behind. It is enough to deal with the rebels with Old Hail.

"I don't care about that thing. Once I kill Sasu, I will lead the team back to Busa."

Masal obviously did not grow up watching Zhengda variety shows. His childhood was during the Second Fruit War, the multi-national melee in Afika triggered by the civil war.

Therefore, he yearns for peace more than war. In addition to family reasons, it is undeniable that he chose to join the army.

"Then you will be disappointed. We will capture Sasu alive. You have seen the situation of Battalion Commander Anka. You will have to escort him back when the time comes."

Xia Yu corrected Masal.

Sassou caught it, he said.

"Okay, I'm going to give him a good beating on the way."

Marsal moved his muscles and showed a cruel smile.

I hope Sassou's old bones can hold on. Anyway, they handed over the people alive, and the money cannot be spared from them.

After returning from the rocket launcher camp, Xia Yu immediately held a pre-war meeting.

The number 2 group is responsible for intercepting Sasu at the border. This was previously planned and can be equipped with Mi-24V firepower. Obviously, they can't use 6 people.

夏屿抽调了两个到黄鼠狼S30上随大部队攻坚，而车队的第3辆车GPZ-80，由03和06负责。

One of them is responsible for driving, and the other is responsible for clearing all threats with machine guns.

Considering that this is a pure mine-sweeping vehicle, and the space of the vehicle is limited, Xiayu didn't even install an automatic weapon station.

Equipped with a machine gunner just in case, with the T-64B1M and Weasel S30 blocking the front, basic safety is still guaranteed.

"This is the situation. After the Masar Rocket Artillery Battalion opens fire, we must use the fastest speed to break through the 578.6-meter mixed mine zone set by the rebels as planned."

Xia Yu pointed at the enlarged map on the wall with a stick and emphasized.

"A line of defense is advancing layer by layer. We may have to fight for more than 10 hours in a row. Some of us may be injured, but as long as we take down the rebels, it's all worth it."

Everyone sat upright and listened carefully to Xia Yu's pre-war mobilization.

With a top-notch salary in the industry, it is natural to have the awareness to remove all obstacles for the boss.

"With the victory of Sassou, the company will suspend business for a month. This period is both a break and a training camp. I hope that as veterans, you can grow with the company. In addition, we will also welcome new blood."

This was discussed with Kuen, and Xia Yu announced it to everyone before the war.

Newcomers are coming, and everyone has been prepared for it.

The company has only had one vehicle crew and one combat team at the beginning, and now has a land combat configuration of two vehicle crews + two combat teams. If it only undertakes strike missions, it is still enough.

But as the business expands, the crew can say that they need more combat personnel.

"Some of them are our instructors for this training, and some will train with us after being hired. You old people, don't let them compare you!"

This time, there will be no more recruits from Servia. After hearing what the boss said, Sergey and Anton came to their senses.

The instructor's list is likely to include the SAS veteran I met last time in Kennaya.

In addition to being younger than him, they were all killed by each other in terms of combat experience and combat effectiveness.

There is no way, their military age is more than three times theirs, and they have been deployed overseas to participate in actual combat countless times, and they have only just fought with the enemy with real swords after they retired.

Even though he was doing well, he still felt a little weak in front of the seniors.

Soldiers are proud, but not arrogant, so that they can grow in the competition.

"That's it, let's go!"

After explaining what needed to be explained, Xia Yu announced the end of the meeting, leaving everyone thoughtful.

时间很快来到了次日上午，T-64B1M一如既往的没有出动，黄鼠狼S30拖着TRF1榴弹炮前往雷场附近，像往常一样送出10发155mm高爆榴弹。

This was the last of the daily shelling and harassment business, and it was also intended to make the rebels relax their vigilance.

Just like a tube building with poor sound insulation, the people downstairs can only sleep when the second boot hits the ground.

Not shelling today will make the rebels keep tightening their strings, which will not be conducive to launching a general offensive.

"Boom~~"

After firing the last shell, the folded gun mount was reattached to the tail hook, and the Mole crew pulled the gun crew away.

"Fortunately, we were sent to patrol the minefields. Busa's gang is addicted to bombing."

The two rebels poked their heads out from the bushes under the rainforest, and murmured as they watched Kuhn and the others leave.

Ten rounds of 10mm artillery shells every day for two or three weeks, that's hundreds of rounds of artillery shells. Even if their camps are large enough and large enough, there will still be unlucky people who are bombed.

In their platoon, two people were directly killed by the bombing, and another one lost both legs and then burped due to infection.

This is why they would rather patrol the minefield. It seems dangerous but it is dark under the light. As long as they don't fire, the opponent's machine guns will not fire.

There are still smart people among the rebels, but from the moment they eat Sassau's food and cause rebellion against Busa, it will be difficult to end well.

Want to escape?
The minefield is like a wall, not only to prevent Busa, but also to prevent Sasu's own people from escaping.

Like the last night raid on Busa's camp, only a few drivers knew the route through the minefield safely. They were all Sassu's confidants and would commit suicide if captured alive.

This also led to the reason why Kuhn sent people to clean the battlefield and captured two artillerymen alive, but none of them knew how to pass through the minefield without injury.

There's nothing you can do about it. If you can't take shortcuts, then you'll have to fight hard.

Kuhn and the others came back for lunch and resupplied fuel for the Weasel S30.

There was nowhere to refuel on the way to the charge, and the same was true for ammunition. The four cornets on the pylon were all replaced with anti-tank versions.

The drone photographed the rebels building various fortifications. A cornet with a thermobaric warhead cannot solve the problem. The most fatal thing is to encounter the T-72M1.

It is unclear how many armored vehicles can be destroyed by 800 rockets. It is better to mount all anti-tank cornets just in case.

In comparison, T-64B1M has no pressure, and it is not afraid of rotten mangoes!
After unloading the TRF1 that had been shot but not wiped, and pushing it aside, everyone attached a trailer to the Weasel S30. The stuff inside was the key to their speed through the minefield this time.

The concentrated fire defense is still busy here, and Marzar has already led his rocket launcher battalion to set off.

There's nothing that can be done about it. It's not an extended-range bullet. The legs of the original Hailstone are still a bit short.

They have to be like the artillery unit of the rebel army, pulling the guys and dogs close to the target more than ten kilometers away before they can launch an attack.

The infantry battalion of the mixed brigade has completed the clearance near the camp.

Even if Sassou deployed spies, there would be no scene of more than a dozen trucks driving out of the camp at the moment.

The camera crew from Busa quickly divided into two teams. One team followed the Masar Rocket Artillery Battalion, and the other team filmed the Installation Camp.

After they finished shooting the material before departure, Xia Yu came to Xiao Anka.

"As we agreed before, half an hour after our convoy breaks into the rebel camp, your people will follow the passage we opened to clear the area!"

Again, the minefield blocked the rebels' way out.

Even if the troops are completely defeated by the concentrated fire defense, the remaining defeated soldiers will only be like headless flies, scurrying around the camp.

Xiayu had no time to take care of them, so he handed them all to Anka's infantry camp to capture them.

This is the job he has been doing since he formed the army. Little Anka is very familiar with it, and he can command it even from a wheelchair.

"Yes, we are equipped with similar tanks, and the camera crew will film you breaking into the minefield."

Little Anka nodded and confirmed.

Indeed, there is one T-64B1M on each side, and there are even more Weasel S30 Ankas. Li Kui plays Li Gui without any pressure, and the materials he shoots can be directly used by them.

"Guard our retreat and don't let the remaining soldiers escape from here."

Xia Yu continued to warn. "Don't worry, my T-64B1M will stay in the middle. Let's see which T-72M1 dares to come over."

One is worth 70!
Even if Xiao Anka is willing to do it for her, Xia Yu is not willing to take the money for nothing.

If the weasel enters the chicken coop, it will start a killing spree.

After the preparations were completed, the concentrated fire defense and the Anka infantry battalion were dispatched together, and arrived at the main attack point before the agreed time.

The two rebel patrols who were hiding in the woods were stunned when they saw the armored convoy coming toward them with great force.

I, we have minefields here, how dare people like Busa do it?

Why don't you dare?

Isn’t it just a minefield?

In the shot, Hero Anka's T-64B1M and Weasel S30 rushed to the edge of the minefield, braked to a stop, and a big eight-wheeled BTR-82S that came later formed an inverted "pin" shape .

"Om~~"

The hydraulic rod props the roof cover of the GPZ-80 troop compartment to both sides.

"Call headquarters, call..."

What is this going to do?
The two of them took out their radios and were halfway through the call. Some of them couldn't understand Xia Yu's operations.

"Pfft~sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss"

Two powerful flying monkeys pulled two 100-meter-long white soft ropes to fly to the minefield.

"Reverse!"

Under the control of 06, the GPZ-80 with reverse gear slowly drove backwards until the steel cable straightened the twisted soft cable and the end also touched the edge of the minefield.

"Detonation!"

"Boom~Boom~"

Two GBP-150 blasting belts with a total of more than 1300 kilograms of mixed charges were detonated instantly, clearing a [-]-meter-long safe passage in the violent fire and smoke.

Yes, who is serious about mine clearance these days? If we can solve the problem with TNT equivalent, we will not use labor.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh~~"

Before the smoke and dust dissipated, rockets tore through the sky and fell towards the rebel camp like a meteorite rain.

"Quickly shoot the sky!"

The camera crew switched lenses in time to record the graceful rocket rain from another perspective.

The tail hatch of the Weasel S30 opened at this moment, and six armed men who did not look black came crashing down.

The attack team, which had no mission yet, turned into a loading team, quickly opened the hatch of the trailer, and worked together to drag a new GBP-150 blasting belt.

03, who also had no work to do, also threw down the machine gun, got out from the cabin roof door, stood on the vehicle to help pull up the blasting belt, and stacked it into the GPZ-80 tail cabin launch box according to the training steps.

If firefighters were to do this, they would definitely be more professional and more suitable. Fortunately, they still have enough time.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh~~"

When four hailstones fired a salvo, Massar took a deep breath of the smoke-stained air and shouted over the radio:

"4 groups of 40 rounds, 2 rounds of reloading!"

"Yes ×N!"

The time it takes for the Black Uncles to load 40 122mm rockets is equivalent to the time it takes for Concentrated Fire Defense to load two GBP-150 blasting belts. In terms of weight, Massar and the others are better.

There is no way, they don't have to clear mines every day, the other party has to practice their skills diligently.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~Boom~~"

The earth-shaking explosion made Sassou, who was enjoying a Cobalt cigar in the afternoon, jump up from the recliner and quickly draw out his small pistol.

"Where did the explosion happen?"

he asked the deputy chief of staff who had rushed in.

"In the direction of Camp No. 2, the rocket artillery battalion in Busa fired a salvo, at least hundreds of rockets!"

The deputy chief of staff replied breathlessly.

He was outside just now. After determining the approximate landing point of the rocket launcher, he ran towards the general.

"Immediately call everyone to enter the fortifications to avoid the shelling. I destroyed an ammunition supply vehicle. Their ammunition can fire one or two salvos at most."

Sasu calmed down and said calmly.

Before the public rebellion, it was not that he had never been in the military. The rocket artillery battalions in Busa were as poor as beggars, not to mention that they had no effect in Panaka.

It is true that there is no concentrated fire defense, but with the addition of a variable like Xiayu, the situation becomes different.

"No, General, the patrol force reported to us that the enemy's armored convoy is quickly passing through the minefield!"

A major on duty at the headquarters liaison office stumbled in.

Obviously, this news had a great impact on him.

"How is it possible? I clearly had so many landmines and artillery shells planted. Are they just decorations?"

Satsu roared, waving his pistol.

Not to mention him, the first reaction of the brigade deputy chief of staff was disbelief, but it looked like Busa was doing both!

"Tell me specifically, how did they enter the minefield?"

"The other party used explosives, long strips of explosives that can be dragged and flown by an RPG. When they fall into the minefield, they explode and create a path. If it hadn't been for the rockets just now, we would definitely have heard the noise here."

The major said with a trembling voice.

"Quickly, send two tanks over. The gap must be blocked and their armored convoy cannot come in."

After saying this, Sasu couldn't tolerate disbelief, so he immediately sent people to make up for the situation.

"There are also 107 rocket launchers. Move all the five closest to them and let them blast the opponent's convoy."

The deputy chief of staff of the brigade checked and filled the gaps for Sassou.

Using armor to deal with armor can only be considered a mediocre tactic. Using medium and long-range firepower to cover the enemy's armored targets is relatively smarter.

"Yes!"

The communications major immediately went to do it, and the deputy chief of staff of the brigade, who was in his prime, took a helmet from the coat rack, buckled it on Sassou's forehead and pulled him out.

The wooden house was no longer safe. In order to avoid being killed by rocket fragments, they had to hide in semi-underground fortifications as soon as possible.

It's different if you prepare in advance. In addition, if it is a regular army of a large country with good obedience, the number of casualties will only be lower.

But this is Afika, and many of the rebels are new recruits. It is certain that they will desert, and the attrition in battles that occur before contact will never be small.

"Detonation!"

"Boom~Boom~"

The smoke dragon rose again, and the convoy focused on fire defense advanced 100 meters again.

"There is less than 400 meters to go, so go fast and reload!"

"Yes × 7!"

While Sergei and the others were reloading, the second round of strikes from the Masar Rocket Artillery Battalion was carried out simultaneously.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh~~"

After the launch tube was fine-tuned, 160 122mm rockets passed by Camp 2, which had just been covered and hit, and all landed in Camp 3 further ahead.

The rebel soldiers who stayed with the officers and non-commissioned officers all entered the nearest bunker, but those who deserted and were frightened out of their wits were not so lucky. They were sent to the sky together with their barracks by rockets.

Modern warfare is cruel. The AK in their hands was blown into parts before a shot was fired, and Sasu's investment in them was all in vain.

So what about the opposite of the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Rebel Brigade?

"Om~~"

The two T-72M1s slowly drove out of the semi-underground bunker. The driver put the gear into gear and accelerated. The engines roared and drove towards the reporting location of the patrol unit.

A convoy of five pickup trucks followed them.

The tail hook of each vehicle tows a Type 63 107mm rocket launcher, and their ammunition supplies are also filled in the back bucket of the pickup truck.

It seems that the number is enough for 12 tubes to fire two salvos. Adding the original load in the launch tube, that is 2 180mm rockets.

The power is definitely not as powerful as the large-diameter hailstones, but with the number of 180 stacked in a small area, whether it is concentrated fire defense or installing trucks and infantry camps, the pressure faced is huge.

Under the cover of firepower, non-armor-piercing warheads may not be able to break through the weasel's cabin roof, but it can damage the sighting equipment on the vehicle, and there is no pressure to destroy the external cornet.
