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

Chapter 328: Lure the snake out of its hole and set fire in the opposite direction (please vote for me at the beginning of the month!)

The world outside the hatch was dark, and the nightlight from the instruments and screens illuminated the faces of Alvin and Hans.

The two flew over fifty kilometers and arrived within the bombing range.

The thermal imaging channel integrated in the laser aiming pod transmits the scene of the main city of Palmyra ten kilometers away to the downward-looking display in the center of the back seat.

Hans expertly zoomed in on an area on the screen, and then selected their first target of the day.

The members of the black army who had finished their day shift patrol were preparing to go back to enjoy dinner, while those on the night shift had just filled their stomachs and came out to change their posts. Both sides were enjoying the last tranquility before the war.

But after Hans pressed the Pickle fire button and the first GBU-16 was thrown down, the tranquility was completely broken.

"Wow~~"

They were far away and couldn't hear anything, but in the last few seconds of their lives, they heard the scream of violent friction between the air and the projectile.

"Boom~~"

A three-story building was penetrated from the second floor by the tilted GBU-16, and the 191-kilogram charge was instantly detonated by the triggered fuse.

Visible shock waves, fire, and smoke instantly flooded the entire building.

This is the most efficient demolition in modern warfare. There will be a lot less fragments, but the equivalent of more than twenty 155mm high-explosive grenades hitting one place at the same time.

"Wow~Boom~~"

There was no time to wait for the smoke to clear, and the second shot of GBU-16 arrived at the heels.

During the earthquake, all the glass in the room he was in was shattered. Husseini, who was having dinner, quickly hid under the table.

It was an air raid. He had experienced both the magnesium and Russian aerial bombs. This thing was more memorable than the artillery.

Even if a 155mm artillery shell hits you, a building as a bunker can isolate most of the fragments, but aerial bombs are unreasonable, and you will die as long as they hit you.

The only good news is that the bomb load of fighter jets is limited, and the firepower is not as sustained as the several dozen rounds of howitzers.

"Wow~Boom~~"

The air raid continued, but after the previous loud noises, the subsequent movements were half as quiet.

This GBU-12 is not as powerful as the GBU-16, but it is enough to blow up the bungalow. After the F-4K cleared the weapons rack, the marked area below was already in ruins.

Even the surviving buildings were affected to varying degrees. Leaving aside the facades for now, the injured people inside were wailing.

Unlucky enough, a piece of debris from outside the window directly cut his aorta, and he bled to death without even shouting.

"The bombing is completed, the visual effect is good, and the Fruit Bat crew requests to withdraw."

Alvin shouted as he flew around in the air.

"Approved to withdraw, the drone team is preparing to release Sparrowhawk A."

Xia Yu issued new instructions on the radio.

"Yes, boss!"

The F-4K began to return, and the Sparrowhawk A ejected from the launch vehicle and headed to Palmyra to scout the latest movements of the black army.

Casualty assessment is more difficult, because most of those who were killed have returned to parts, and it is no longer a matter of time whether they can be put together.

However, the injured could still get some medical assistance. They forced all the doctors in the local hospital and hoarded a lot of medical supplies through black market channels.

"Those who are not injured should be vigilant, they may come again, and please don't get together."

A disgraced Husseini shouted to everyone on the internal public channel with a mobile phone.

"Call Jamil, what's the situation over there?"

Switching to the channel at Palmyra Castle, he asked whether the enemy's ground troops showed any signs of cooperating with the attack after the air strike.

"Jamil received it, everything is normal, no enemies found."

Jamil answered as he moved his eyes away from the view of Sophie's thermal imaging camera mounted on a tripod at a crenellation on the castle.

Any vehicle traveling in this open area cannot avoid the tracking of thermal imaging. It is obvious that the enemy has not entered.

As an organization that inspires jihad and expands rapidly, Ace recruits members from all over the world.

Among them, women are capable of logistics and giving birth to children for the soldiers. Yingguo has produced a group of brides. Among the men, the less capable ones serve as the grassroots, while those who are capable and have received military training, like Jamil, serve as the backbone.

They are generally well-armed and know what they should do on the battlefield.

With the naked eye, enemies coming from the south can be spotted during the day, but at night, technology must be relied upon.

This is also the reason why several night raids by government forces failed. Ace Ace has accumulated a lot of black money by smuggling oil, people, and collecting private taxes.

With the advice of professionals, they have the financial resources to buy suitable equipment, which is why the battlefield in Syria is so intense.

Among the rebels in Afika, only a few officers and non-commissioned officers were able to play with anti-tank missiles, unlike here where there are all kinds of captured weapons, and someone can use them as soon as they get them.

"So this was just a routine airstrike?"

Husseini said to himself.

More than a dozen aerial bombs hit their personnel gathering area, and they didn't notice the opponent's fighter jets flying overhead. They were obviously precision-guided munitions thrown from a long distance.

When did the people of Osmium become so rich?

This has nothing to do with money. The main reason is the lack of ammunition supply due to insufficient production capacity. Damao not only saved a lot of money in Syria, but also made a profit.

After all, the military industry also needs to be revitalized. The daily military expenditures can only provide a breath of relief. The additional budget for military operations in the Middle East is a shot in the arm.

However, expedited production also takes time, and the fire defense that comes with its own ammunition fills the gap during this period.

Husseini only knew that an armored convoy came to the outpost. Who knew that an additional fighter jet was deployed at the T-4 base? He only thought that this time it was the Osmium Russians who bombed it.

This won't work, he has to come back with revenge.

If air raids become routine in the future, no matter how careful we are in taking precautions, we will not be able to avoid the expansion of human losses.

Based on the data the deputy just reported to him, at least 120 people could not be contacted.

Husseini saw the loss of 5% of his manpower in one go and felt pain in his heart!

He only has more than 2000 troops, and many people will be killed before they see anyone. It is really miserable without air control.

However, they didn't have no countermeasures. Fortunately, he held back and didn't take action. The other party didn't know his trump card.

Just like Ace placed eyes and ears in Palmyra Castle, the government troops and Osmium people in the outpost camp would also patrol around the camp day and night to prevent sneak attacks.

He sent people to explore this distance and found it to be between 8 and 12 kilometers.

Because their apparent farthest firepower is the M109 Paladin self-propelled howitzer, which fires a few rounds at the outpost camp every now and then, which will only arouse the opponent's anger, but will not allow them to advance rashly.

But he has a multiple rocket launcher?

Husseini also wanted a hundred people to die!

"Wow~~"

"Quick, load the rockets immediately."

He shouted to his subordinates after tearing off the green canvas covering 40 122mm directional tubes to disguise the Romania APR-40 multiple rocket launcher as a six-wheel transport military truck.

This Eastern European imitation and improved version of the BM-21 Hail was also snatched by Ace Ace from Jalaka. It was also allocated by the headquarters to supplement the emergency response as Palmyra's artillery power was insufficient.

The government forces and the Russians have never launched a general attack on them, so Husseini has been covering up the futility, preparing to hit the opponent with a big blow at the critical moment. But the plan couldn't keep up with the change. The other party didn't respect martial ethics and gave him a heavy punch first.

Then don't blame him for pouring two rounds of rockets at the opponent's outpost camp from a distance of 17 or 18 kilometers.

By the way, the M109 should also be brought, and the firepower should be maintained between reloads. A skilled person can complete the reloading in 6 minutes, and his people should take at least a quarter of an hour.

However, they will be able to achieve greater results by launching an attack in the early morning hours while they are sleeping than during the day when the personnel are dispersed.

Husseini's deduction seemed to have no problems, but this time his opponent was neither the government army nor the Osmium Rus, but Xiayu.

This has become the biggest problem, because he dares to play tricks with the weasel. I have to say that this guy is very courageous.

"Call the boss, there is a convoy leaving the city. There are... self-propelled howitzers and multiple rocket launchers."

The drone team, which stayed on until early morning, quickly shouted on the channel.

Xia Yu, who almost fell asleep on the Mi-24V, suddenly became energetic and finally waited for you.

This group of terrorists was just as he expected, and they really didn't want to take revenge overnight.

There are actually multiple rocket launchers hidden, which was not mentioned in the intelligence. How patient!

In addition to the M109 self-propelled howitzer, Xiayu caught another big fish.

"Wow~Wow~~"

Starting the helicopter engine, he took off in the shortest time and flew towards the long-range strike convoy more than ten kilometers away at high speed.

Palmyra's group of long-range strikers, Aces, are all dispatched today. The next general offensive can relax the surveillance investment in this area and use more battlefield resources in other aspects.

A few kilometers out of the city, 18 kilometers away from the outpost camp, a convoy consisting of M109s, APR-40s, ammunition supply trucks, and several modified Humvees stopped.

The effective range of both artillery is more than 20 kilometers, but the closer the distance, the better the strike accuracy.

However, the 15 kilometers is too dangerous, so these 18 kilometers are just right.

"Call Commander, this is Usamach, we have arrived at the designated location."

Husseini took this revenge very seriously and specially sent his deputies to supervise it.

Watching his subordinates adjust their shooting, Usamah got out of the car and reported to the rendezvous while carrying a portable anti-aircraft missile.

A little defensive, but not too defensive.

Xia Yu is a man who insists on portable anti-aircraft missiles, not to mention that this time he will not show his face.

"Understood. We will launch the attack in 5 minutes. I'm waiting for good news from you."

Husseini blessed the microphone on his desk.

The last burning point in the city had just been extinguished, but the enemy's camp was about to be ignited with anger, and he felt very excited for a moment.

After flying over more than ten kilometers and arriving within 5 kilometers of the Black Army's long-range strike convoy, Xia Yu raised the Luhu's nose, found the right angle, and directly pressed the rocket launch button.

"咻~咻~咻~咻~~"

两侧短翼6个派龙架挂了4具B-8V20火箭巢，朝着车队所在地一口气打出了80枚S-8航空火箭弹。

If you want to wash me away, then I will strike first and wash you away in the opposite direction.

"Is everything okay?"

Usamacher asked towards his two artillery crews.

"We're done."

Also gained experience from many sneak attacks, several members of the M109 crew were the first to complete the settings for shooting Zhu Yuan.

The rocket launcher team over there felt a bit in a hurry. After all, they had never fired once since they were transferred to Palmyra, so the operation was a bit rusty.

"Hurry, hurry up..."

"Wow~Wow~Wow~~"

Just when the squad leader of the rocket launcher team wanted to answer, a dense whistling sound came from a distance.

Looking up subconsciously, he saw a series of small bright spots flying towards them in a curve.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~Boom~~"

These 80 S-8 aviation rockets instantly covered the entire convoy.

In addition to the M109 self-propelled howitzer with some armor protection, whether it was the APR-40 multiple rocket launcher ready to be fired, or the 40 rounds of 122mm rockets on the ammunition truck next to it, they were all ignited and exploded, turning into more beautiful fireworks.

The outpost of Palmyra Castle was the first to observe this scene, and then the main city and the outpost on the other side heard some movement.

"Wow~Wow~~"

The sound of the propeller was approaching the explosion point, and the God of Death cruising at low altitude focused his attention on the hard-hitting M109 Paladin.

Because ordinary high-explosive bombs were used, the brittle armor of this old cannon blocked the shock wave and fragments of the explosion, but the crew obviously had no intention of sealing the body.

Seeing the half-open car door, Xia Yu knew that the people in the car had lost half their lives, but this level was not enough.

He went on to activate a Hult-3 on a wingtip pylon.

"Boom~boom~~"

The 155mm shells in the car exploded with greater force than the tank, and the sky-high flames were accompanied by deafening explosions.

Perfect. This kind of old self-propelled howitzer from the last century, the A6 and A7 models are somewhat interesting. This old version Xiayu doesn't even have the desire to collect it, let alone operate it for combat.

He will have a better choice in the future. Now he can just blow it up and watch the fireworks.

A real man likes to play with fire when he is a child, but when he grows up he will not fall in love with someone else.

There are still 3 anti-tank missiles left, but the targets are gone, so Xiayu can call it a day.

Turning around, the Mi-24V flew towards the outpost camp.

"Call Usamah, this is Husseini, please call me, please call me, please call me!"

Husseini in the main city called over and over again, but he had a bad feeling when he didn't receive any reply.

"This is Jamil. There was a violent explosion in the direction of the convoy. I saw the opponent's helicopter and it launched missiles."

The report from the castle observation post exposed the last trace of luck in Husseini's heart.

He fell into the trap, and the other party did it on purpose.

He deliberately did nothing after the bombing, pretending it was a regular bombing, and then like a fool, he went to take revenge in the middle of the night and bit the fishhook.

A simple move to lure the snake out of the hole, trick the potential threat out and eliminate it. This is Xia Yu's tactic. He makes full use of the terrorists' impatience and luck.

They have obviously never heard of "a gentleman's revenge is never too late!"

It would be a reckless person to seek revenge overnight, but Xia Yu is obviously not a reckless person.

"Wonderful, what a wonderful battle!"

At the outpost camp, Old Ye Fu, holding a bottle of vodka, said to Xia Yu.
