Chapter 324 Firepower Exceeds the Standard
Finding two 23mm anti-aircraft guns was really not a problem for Gao Yi, and there was no need for Sharman to take action, because Sharman would definitely be closely watched, and it would be easier to leak the secrets if he did something through the National Intelligence Agency.
Although Abdullah already had a team that could ensure loyalty, this team mainly followed Sharman instead of spreading around the world, so the National Intelligence Agency wanted to do something in Baghdad, and eventually
We have to rely on the old people left behind, and God knows how many of these old people are from the CIA.
So you can't find the cannon through Abdullah, you have to go through Glass.
Now that the Pentagon is sharing the money, it would be inappropriate for them to not do anything about this matter.
What's more, just quietly opening an arsenal under your control and taking out some of the weapons and equipment captured inside is a big deal.
If it weren't for confidentiality, Gao Yi would have actually gone to the Iraqi Defense Forces' active equipment to select it.
However, a warehouse filled with captured Aces weapons can also meet the demand.
He came quietly at night and drove two trucks. There were not enough manpower, so Gao Yi and the others had to do it themselves. At this stage, it was not suitable for the people of the Tomahawk Mercenary Group to do the work.
A van was driven, Gao Yi and the four of them came, and then Glass came in person, so Peter and the others couldn't be idle.
The warehouse door is wide open, and even the step of unlocking is omitted. The truck drives directly to the door, and you can just move it from the warehouse to the car.
Glass held a list and whispered: "Type 75 anti-aircraft machine gun...here."
There is an area in the warehouse dedicated to stacking machine guns. There are several 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine guns stacked here. In order to pursue the best combination of high power and small size, the 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine gun is the best that Gao Yi and the others can bring away now.
choose.
"The RPG is here. There are boxes of unopened RPG-27 here. Do you want to move them?"
Several people began to drag out the old but still useful anti-aircraft machine guns. After hearing Glass's prompt, Gao Yi said without hesitation: "Bring the RPG-27, definitely bring it. The only mercenaries are RPG-7.
Bring these RPG-27s with you."
The manifestation of the phobia of insufficient firepower is that when you see anything powerful, you want to bring it with you. No matter whether it is useful or not, prepare it first.
The things in this warehouse are very mixed and messy, some weapons have no ammunition, and some ammunition does not have matching weapons, but they can definitely pick out enough things that Gao Yi needs.
Glass pointed to the corner and said: "Do you want mortars? There are mortars with calibers from 60 mm to 120 mm. As for the shells...well, they are also available."
Gao Yi looked at Feng Biao.
Weapons that can be used by individual soldiers must be carried, but the range of things like mortars is a bit long.
Gao Yi and the others are not going to the wilds to fight the enemy head-on. The only option is to hide in the building, wait for the free wind to approach, and then fire together from all directions. Therefore, the minimum range of mortars is at least dozens of meters away.
, then there is no need.
The most important thing is that shooting something like mortars is a technical job. It is simple to shoot out, but it is not so easy to shoot accurately. There is also a problem whether any of the mercenaries Gao Yi is looking for can use mortars.
.
But it was up to Feng Biao to decide.
Feng Biao said without hesitation: "The mortars are not needed. The grenade launchers are there. We can get more of them."
If it can explode, then explode it; if it cannot explode, then consider using bullets to hit it. This is an iron law on the battlefield.
"Of course there are grenade launchers, but only Russian ones."
Basically, you can take whatever you like, and you don't have to pay, just pull it up.
Feng Biao looked at it and said: "directional mines, landmines."
Glass looked at the list and said: "There are directional mines on the list, but I don't know where they are. There are no anti-infantry mines. These consumable things are basically impossible to recover. Ace doesn't have many on hand, but anti-tank mines
There are quite a few.”
Feng Biao said helplessly: "Forget it... no, don't worry about the mines, take whatever you find."
Gao Yi couldn't help but said: "Why do we need anti-tank mines?"
Feng Biao laughed and said: "Landmines are a perfect match for a sniper. They are the best companion. No matter what kind of landmine they are, if you put a few around them, you will feel at ease. What about anti-tank mines? They can be turned into bombs with a little modification.
The remote control detonated bomb is very effective, and it is also very safe, so bring it with you."
The Iraqis have extremely rich experience in using anti-tank mines to modify roadside bombs, and the modification of this thing is inherently simple, and Feng Biao understands it.
I looked for the directional mines but didn't find them. However, the anti-tank mines were neatly stacked one after another, which looked strange because there were no boxes or packaging, so the mines were just stacked one on top of the other.
Gao Yi was flustered when he saw it, and asked: "Is this how landmines are placed?" "TM-62 anti-tank mines have a trigger fuse of 180 kilograms. You can't even explode them if you stand on them and jump on them. You can throw them and place them wherever you want."
Feng Biao didn't take it seriously. He had an anti-tank mine in his hand, and he and Lin Xianghua moved it back and forth to the car four times. However, this thing was very heavy, and there was no packaging box. The two of them took eight pieces in total.
One is enough.
As for ordinary machine guns, rifles, grenades, etc., there is no need for these. The mercenary group comes with them, and there are too many of them, so there is no need to move them again.
Twenty RPG-27s, eight anti-tank mines, two 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and four AGS-17 grenade launchers. However, the number of rifle grenades is not large, only more than 70.
Looking again, there is nothing worth taking in the warehouse.
Gao Yi said to Glass: "That's it, load the car and leave."
Glass nodded, and then he whispered: "When you choose the ambush location, two pickup truck ZU-23 anti-aircraft guns will be sent from Meidein, as well as a truck carrying 19 70mm rocket launchers, Esai
There are no rockets in Sri Lanka, which are used by the US military on Apaches. Special rockets can be easily obtained. In addition, there are pickup trucks loaded with Type 63 107mm rocket launchers. Well, there are enough rockets."
Anti-aircraft guns are too eye-catching, and dragging them around in Baghdad would easily expose them. So it's not that Gao Yi doesn't use anti-aircraft guns, it's just that he doesn't have them yet.
Anti-aircraft guns must be used, as promised, and Glass has also found a suitable and usable anti-aircraft gun, but now he needs an additional rocket launcher, so he doesn't know if this can be used.
Gao Yi looked at Feng Biao again.
Feng Biao said to Lin Xianghua: "I have never fought such a rich war in my life, but rockets, do you think it is necessary?"
Lin Xianghua said without hesitation: "Of course it is necessary, but do we still have enough manpower to operate it now?"
Feng Biao counted with his fingers, and whispered: "Two anti-aircraft guns, including the driver, require at least two people to operate one gun, two anti-aircraft machine guns, and at least four people, and the grenade launcher accounts for four
One person, two heavy machine guns, and four more people, so that’s sixteen people alone.”
Lin Xianghua spread his hands and said: "Yes, there are seventy of us in total. If we break them all up, these heavy weapons will need to be deployed at least six firepower points. Even if only four infantry are left to protect each firepower point, the manpower will still be short."
Feng Biao said disapprovingly: "An ambush is not a positional battle. Why do you need so many infantry protections? But forget about the rocket launcher nest. The rocket launchers take up more manpower."
Gao Yi felt that this firepower was already a bit excessive. Even if Free Wind led a company, there would only be one word for them to fall into his trap: die.
No matter whether it is heavily armored or unarmored, it makes no difference in front of artillery shells.
Feng Biao said to Glass: "There is no need for rocket launchers or anything like that. Just pull over two anti-aircraft guns. In fact, I don't think anti-aircraft guns are necessary. The key is to find a suitable place to use the guns."
Having said this, Gao Yi said to Glass smoothly: "Have you found a suitable place?"
Finding a suitable place for an ambush is quite mentally demanding.
There are many places suitable for ambush, but the more suitable it is for ambush, the less useful it becomes.
No one is stupid. Gao Yi found a terrain that was particularly suitable for deploying pocket formations, hid all his men inside, and waited for the Free Wind people to attack as soon as they arrived. This was of course good, but Free Wind had already suffered heavy losses after a hard attack in Libya.
Then they have to be careful.
What if the free-style people see this and see that it is a place where dogs are beaten behind closed doors, and become wary, and simply dare not go in?
Therefore, the ambush point must be chosen appropriately.
First of all, it is necessary to make it easier for Gao Yi and others to hide, because when Gao Yi was facing the pursuit of the CIA, he still stayed in a luxury hotel in Baghdad, which was too fake.
It is easy to hide, but it is only convenient for hiding. It is not a suitable ambush battlefield. In this case, there are really not many places to choose from in Baghdad.
You must ask local snake Glass about this kind of thing, and Glass lived up to Gao Yi's trust. He immediately said: "I have chosen three places. You can finally choose. They are the river bend area on the east side of Mutana Bridge. Here
The residential areas are relatively sparse and the transportation is convenient. It is a suitable place to hide and escape, but as long as the free wind blocks the bridge, you will only have one direction to escape.
The other is the southern suburbs of Baghdad, still close to the Tigris River. There are plantations here with convenient transportation but few people, making it suitable as a battlefield.
There is another place on the side of the road between Baghdad and Med'in. There is a factory building on the roadside, both abandoned and in use. This place is suitable for hiding heavy equipment, because there are many vehicles coming in and out every day.
It would not have been noticed in the past, but I haven't contacted the manufacturer yet. However, I should be able to find a factory. I personally think this is the most suitable place. For any special forces, the offensive buildings are not so dense.
It’s much easier to go to a factory than to go to a bustling downtown area.”
Gao Yi didn't do any special research. Since Glass said that factories are better than urban areas, then factories.
Gao Yi nodded and said: "Then you contact us as soon as possible, find a good place and pull the person over. The factory is good, and it is convenient for the factory to hide people, so let's settle it."
