Chapter 718 Anti-tank
The violent shock wave and vibration made the people on the second floor turn over, and the phone in Meghan even flew out. The person who was still shooting just now was stunned in an instant.
Just when the 009 team was in a desperate situation, Pence, who was sent by Mosul, who was going to Alsabad to rescue Megan and his company, was still trapped in the town of Shahad south of Alsabad. After being violently counterattacked by the opponent, Pence lost a lot of people, but as he estimated, the militants here did not continue to attack after they stabilized. Instead, they found that there was no advantage to take, and then took a defensive posture. This made Pence's heart, which was originally hanging, relaxed slightly.
After going back, the rest of his men also gave him a chance to breathe. But after confirming that his estimate was correct, the armed forces had no plan or ability to eat his own, he did not continue to organize the attack. Because the second group of teams rushing to Alsabad for reinforcements was about to arrive, this team was much stronger than him. They had tanks, armored vehicles and enough personnel. The most important thing was that the first thing in their mission was to rescue themselves from here first, and then join forces to Alsabad.
So after the opponent set up a defensive stance, Pence also started to defend, just waiting for the team to arrive before acting together. But what he didn't expect was that on the south side of Shahad Town, there were two militants moving on both sides of the avenue leading directly to Shahad Town, that is, about two or three hundred meters away on the east and west sides of the road.
The activities of these people are very hidden, and even if someone walks on the road at this moment, it is difficult to find their activities. This is not because of the night. In fact, the bright moon shines down tonight, and the lack of vegetation on the ground is relatively strong, making it very easy to see on the ground, especially those moving things. However, these people are not moving on the ground, but are all in a tunnel like a trench dug in advance. These tunnels are not connected in all directions, nor are they very deep, and the deepest place is only one person high. The road leading to Shahad Town is also north-south. Only a tunnel that runs farther from the road is a tunnel that leads to the east-west. In other words, the real combat department is a tunnel that runs north-south on both sides of the road.
The tunnel is about 200 meters long, and some cover was made to hide above the tunnel. That is, it was to use wooden boards wider than the tunnel to cover the above tunnel and then cover some floating soil on it. At this moment, there are not only militants in the tunnel, but also what they carry.
People entering here do not only carry rifles, but in fact not everyone is carrying guns. This is not because they do not have enough weapons, but because what they want to carry is more important and will be more effective in subsequent battles.
The people quickly took their place in the tunnel, and immediately several people gathered together to assemble the things they brought in. Their movements were very skilled and obviously had been specially trained. About three or five minutes later, a launcher with a triangle bracket and a scope was installed.
"Are you all ready?" Said, who was on a three-story building on the southwest side of Shahad Town, asked on the walkie-talkie while looking at the road on the south side.
"It's ready. We can do it immediately as soon as they arrive." Someone responded.
Said nodded and put down the telescope and said, "I will repeat it again. After the bomb we buried exploded, the first team ambushed on the east side of the road took action. The rpg-29 is used to attack their m2 armored vehicles, and the short anti-tank missiles given to us by the Russians are used to attack their m1a1 tanks. Remember! You must attack the side or back of m1a1. Rpg-29 must aim at those armored vehicles for me. Do you understand?"
"The first team understands." After receiving the response, Said said again: "Team 2 should not act in a hurry. Wait until the target is attacked and they turn to the east to launch an attack. Remember that you must keep calm. I think it is you who really messed up and suffered heavy damage. They may change their formation after being attacked. The armored vehicles will lean to the west and then put down the infantry they carry, and then assist the tanks in attacking the east. This is the best time for you to take action. I can say how long we can stay here tonight and how many Americans we can kill depends largely on whether your attack has been successful. So be sure to keep calm, remember it is certain."
"Team 2 understand!" Just as Team 2 expressed its understanding, another person holding the walkie-talkie ran to Said and said, "They are here."
Said immediately said, "Notify them." After saying that, he picked up the telescope and looked south. A series of moving black shadows soon appeared on the road on the south side, and came here at a very fast speed. Said did not look much, but turned to the tunnels on both sides of the road. He saw that both sides of the road were very calm and had nothing. Even if he, who knew that the ambush there, could not see any flaws.
This mixed team of armored vehicles and tanks quickly entered the fire range of the ambush personnel. Of course, some people in the convoy were on guard. First, the tank's gun barrels were the first. Except for the first one, the one heading forward, the other heading to the left and the other heading to the right.
The team did not move but watched quietly through the telescope, and even if they could clearly feel the vibration from the tanks pressing across the road ahead, there was no movement.
"Stay steady, keep calm. They are about to get a blow-up point." The observer said as he reached out his right hand, "Prepare. Be prepared."
Hearing him say this, the people around him immediately passed the words one after another and immediately held or hugged the things in their hands. "It's going to explode, 3, 2, 1!" As he said that, the man covered his ears with both hands.
As soon as the countdown ended, a loud bang came from the highway. The violent vibration made the people in the tunnel feel like a violent earthquake. Not only were they shaking strongly, but the walls on both sides of the tunnel also shook violently, and it felt like they were about to collapse at any time.
However, after the explosion calmed down, the team still did not take action immediately, but were waiting for the order to take action. The man who was responsible for observing and giving orders just now looked on the road with a telescope again. He saw that the American convoy, a tank led by the Americans, had lost control and drove off the road diagonally.
