Chapter 38 Pickup Truck

Installing heavy machine guns or direct-fired single-bar cannons on the rear compartment of the pickup truck has almost become the most beautiful scenery on the African battlefield. The cheap combination ensures mobility and firepower strength. On the two armed pickup trucks, some even welded a layer of unknown thickness of steel plates around the cockpit, leaving only a twenty-centimeter-square looking hole directly in front of the driver. Although it is not certain how bulletproof it is, they have become two "armored vehicles". With such a protection, when fighting, those armed rebels who are already crazy will inevitably become crazier and more arrogant.

In some places where people are prone to infiltration but are not convenient to pull the lights, the rebel soldiers lit a bonfire. Around each fire, several soldiers were sitting on the ground with rifles. Machine gun bunkers, mobile patrols, pickup trucks and other soldiers who were sitting next to the fire and waiting for them, it is no exaggeration to say that the entire town of Afgor has temporarily become a war fortress.

Just to deal with him, he put forward such a formation. If Sikong Bowen had not known his life and death, the countdown on his watch would have been less than fifty hours, Shi Shaoying would have really been proud of it.

"Ba!Ba!"

Two gunshots came from the darkness. He had just stood up and was about to take down the iron tube on the fire and add some hot water to his bowl. He had not figured out what was going on. He felt a pain in his body, and two blood flowers suddenly exploded from his chest, and he couldn't help but fall to the ground.

If it were Meng Tan or the group of veterans who had been through many battles beside him, they would have lie down quickly after encountering the cold guns fired in the darkness, and then find a way to leave the fire and hide themselves in the darkness. However, the soldiers sitting next to the fire lacked such combat experience. Seeing their companions being shot, their instinctive reaction at the first time was to jump up from the ground. The two closest to the person who was shot, and they rushed over without even taking the gun.

"Ba!Ba!"

"Ba!Ba!"

With the rapid and rhythmic double-shot shooting sound, he rushed to his injured companion without even taking the gun. At the same time, the two soldiers who exposed themselves to the mouth of Shi Shaoying's muzzle suddenly splashed with blood and fell to the ground. Until this time, someone woke up like a dream. He first rushed to the ground with the most embarrassing movement, then straightened his neck and screamed: "Let's go down, lie down!"

The lights and bonfires greatly affected the eyes of these soldiers. Although they had already judged the approximate direction of Shi Shaoying and hundreds of people opened their eyes wide, the darkness displayed in front of them was as gloomy as if they could swallow everything. After firing six shots, Shi Shaoying, who successfully killed three rebels, seemed to be a ghost living in the darkness, so after a little bit of waves was splashed out from the water, it disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.

The machine gunner hiding behind the sandbag bunker had already pulled the bolt of the machine gun, and the engines of eight pickup trucks were also activated. However, after his eyes finally adapted to the darkness outside, he looked at everything outside the town, and no one shot or drove the car out of the town. For a moment, the entire town fell into a silence like death, leaving only a pile of bonfires rising and falling under the night wind, illuminating the surroundings.

In a calm state, I don’t know how many people held the guns in their hands. As long as Shi Shaoying dared to shoot again, the fire light bursting from the muzzle would be exposed, and the bullets shot from the town would inevitably pour out like a storm. While suppressing Shi Shaoying could not raise his head and could not escape, the eight engines remained in the starting state. Even the driver’s right foot was stepping on the accelerator, and the pickup truck armed car that was waiting to charge would rush out of the town and chase Shi Shaoying endlessly.

Afgoye is only more than 200 kilometers away from the equator. From the satellite's top view, it has the standard tropical desert terrain characteristics. Although there are small forests formed by tropical trees around it, due to the flat terrain, there is no enough circumference space under the flat terrain. Unless Shi Shaoying can prepare enough "wolf teeth sticks" to cover the land outside the town, he will eventually be shot into a sieve by heavy machine guns on eight armed pickup trucks with just his legs.

But half an hour passed, but the surroundings of the town were still as quiet as death.

Hiding in the dark corner, looking nervously at the soldiers around the town, their hands holding rifles were already sore and numb, and their eyes were like a few bugs getting in, blinking constantly, and some people even burst into tears. Just as these soldiers began to quietly thrust their shoulders and tried to soothe the numbness of their arms, a signal flare suddenly soared into the sky one or two thousand meters away from the town.

The signal flare rushed straight to a height of 150 meters, and the blood-red light attracted everyone's attention in an instant, causing the soldiers in the town who had begun to relax due to fatigue to their hearts to collapse to the limit in an instant. Almost at the same time, several drivers stepped on the accelerator, and eight pickup trucks were already roaring out of the town and rushed straight into the direction where the signal flare was rising.

Although the distance was too far and there was nothing to see, the people in the town still widened their eyes, raised their ears, and carefully observed the distance, trying to capture the latest information from the front line.

Half an hour later, a convoy of eight pickup trucks drove back to the town. Facing everyone's questioning target, the captain of the armed convoy had a blue face and spitted fiercely.

In order to prevent them from being ambushed again, eight of their armed pickups were divided into three groups and surrounded from the front and left and right sides. When they were five hundred meters away from the location where the signal flare was fired, all the soldiers jumped out of the car, forming a siege net, blocking Shi Shaoying's retreat route from three directions.

But they were facing a great enemy. Eight cars and dozens of armed members carefully surrounded them, but they pounced on the air. Apart from finding an abandoned disposable signal flare launcher on the ground, the group had no gains.

At this moment, a unique roar came from afar. As everyone was paying attention to the fleet that had just returned, the mortar was placed directly in front of the town, and at least half of the people saw clearly the flames bursting out from the muzzle when the mortar was fired in the dark.

"Dadada..."

More than ten light and heavy machine guns began to fire at the same time. The captain of the convoy gritted his teeth and jumped into the car, personally lifted the heavy machine gun behind the car. Seeing that the driver had not reacted yet, the captain raised his foot and kicked it hard at the car, shouting wildly: "What are you still standing there? Drive quickly!"

After saying this, the captain slammed the heavy machine gun firing handle. As the 7.62 mm port car heavy machine gun roared wildly, the bullets drew red bullet marks clearly visible to the naked eye in the air until the most dynamic rain of bullets formed, and they were shot hard in the direction of the mortar firing.
