King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer -
Chapter 891 - 802: The Air Force Can Too
A series of colored smoke rose from the village, marking their own position used by Sanderson and his team...
After confirming the position, Dorian controlled the muzzle of the mortar, making 'Spur' constantly load ammunition for the mortar.
The power of the 60mm mortar could only be described as average, but what lacked in power could be made up for with quantity.
As long as the loading was fast enough, the firing rate of the mortar could also be increased.
Indiscriminate bombardment began to spread across the front of the village. The actual lethality was quite ordinary, but it effectively stopped the terrorists from continuing their strong offensive on Sanderson's position.
At this moment, Joe Ga did not have the energy to focus on the situation inside the village because 'Sharp Knife Squad' was in danger.
These veteran SEALs were extremely formidable; they used Broad Sword to set a trap, wiping out nearly a third of the bypassing terrorists at once before they encountered trouble...
Again, everyone has two shoulders and a head. In the open environment of the prairie, the advantage of the special forces was not as significant as people imagined.
'Hellhound' performed very stubbornly. After killing several enemies in a fight, they began to disengage from the combat to draw the enemies to follow them.
The remaining thirty or so terrorists chased after them crazily, with dense strafing soon causing 'Gunpowder' and 'Shark' to get injured...
'Gunpowder' was shot in the thigh, skin and flesh torn away by the bullet, while 'Shark' was shot in the back. If it weren't for the reliable quality of the bulletproof vest, this guy would have been done for.
In order to cover these guys, Joe Ga had to stand up and rest the Barrett on the rearview mirror of the Humvee, increasing his firing speed at the same time.
"Bang bang bang..."
Ultra-long-distance shooting was not Joe Ga's specialty, but when he gave up observing the results of each shot and immediately switched targets after each round, his hit rate actually increased significantly.
With eight bullets, he took down two enemies in a run; the severe wounds caused by the large-caliber ammunition were truly terrifying. After Joe Ga emptied a magazine, those bypassing terrorists actually stopped...
The deterrent power of a sniper is just so great, as people's fear of the unknown far exceeds the fear of face-to-face combat.
Once Joe Ga lost his targets, he turned his head and called out to Ayu: "King Kong..."
Ayu didn't need Joe Ga's reminder of what to do next; she rushed to Joe Ga's side with the heavy automatic grenade launcher, sat down on the ground and began firing a series of grenades under Joe Ga's guidance...
Joe Ga corrected Ayu's trajectory multiple times through the scope until the grenades fell into the area where the enemy disappeared...
"Boom boom boom boom..."
In the midst of a series of grenade explosions, several dozen terrorists stood up and started to flee, trying to escape the killing zone of the grenades...
Joe Ga locked onto a guy with a machine gun and pulled the trigger...
"Bang"
The bullet traveled for nearly a second and hit the shoulder of the misfortunate man accurately.
The man was as if chopped in the shoulder by a machete while running; due to the weight of the machine gun, half of his shoulder detached from his body along with an arm, falling to the ground as he continued to run.
With screams and horrific injuries, the terrorists began to panic.
At this time, 'Hellhound' also began to counterattack in coordination with the grenade bombardment...
This type of combat with long-range support gave 'Hellhound' the opportunity to catch their breath. Using more accurate shooting techniques and tactical movements, they kept circling to reap the lives of those disheveled terrorists.
As Joe Ga gradually found a bit of a rhythm in his shooting, although he couldn't always find the enemy's weak points like Nis, it was already enough to help 'Hellhound' ease the pressure.
With the cooperation of the grenade launchers and the Barrett, 'Dagger Squad' actually started to gain the upper hand in this close-range conflict where bayonets saw red.
This might be where special forces excel. As long as they find an opening, they will use their capabilities to tear and widen the breach, bit by bit reversing the situation.
Just as Ayu emptied a box of ammunition and was about to reload, Dorian, who was behind operating the mortar, suddenly shouted, "Boss, be careful, the enemy has a drone coming over..."
As Dorian yelled, the M2 on the Humvee raised its muzzle high, attacking a small black dot in the sky.
'Spur' abandoned the task of loading ammo and called Orange Cat and Blow Dart to lift their rifles and start shooting into the sky.
When Joe Ga came to his senses, the drone in the sky had dropped something that fell in front of the Humvee position, then 'boom'—it detonated...
Joe Ga instinctively ducked under the front wheel of the Humvee, and then heard a sound like rain hitting a lute. The machine gunner in a Humvee at the rear let out a muffled groan and slowly sat into the vehicle...
The three Humvees within the blast radius had their sides blasted, the shrapnel didn't penetrate the protective steel plates but turned the bulletproof glass completely opaque...
Joe Ga looked back and saw Dorian and the others were thrown to the ground by the explosion, while Ayu stood up as if nothing happened. She rushed to the side of the rear vehicle, opened the door, and dragged out an unconscious female soldier from Martyrs Camp...
After quickly checking the condition of the female soldier, Ayu shook her head to Joe Ga, then went back to prop the grenade launcher on the engine and began to unleash a barrage of explosives towards the front position of the village.
Joe Ga knew the female soldier was dead, but now he simply didn't have time to be angry...
Calling on 'Hellhound' to take care of the remaining enemies themselves, Joe Ga stood at the side of the vehicle, resting the Barrett on the roof and began to search for that troublesome drone.
The battlefield really is a place that can stimulate 'ingenious wit'. These ISIS terrorists, lacking professional suicide drones, used modified civilian drones instead to rush in and bomb.
A 5 kilogram explosive payload plus hundreds of steel balls created a lethal bomb sweeping a radius of 40 meters.
Although they cannot precisely control the direction of the explosion, resulting in significant loss of explosive power, for terrorists, this is already a decent aerial weapon.
If this thing accurately lands in a crowd, the consequences are unimaginable...
Joe Ga quickly located the drone; it was not small but flew very fast.
"Bang"
"Bang"
"Bang"
Joe Ga tried three times in a row, and finally, a bullet hit one of the drone's rotors, then it immediately lost control and began to spiral down toward the ground.
"Boss, be careful, more drones are coming, this time it's two..."
Upon hearing the information from the rear, Joe Ga looked up and observed his surroundings, then he spotted two small black dots quickly approaching from behind him toward the Humvee positions; this time they were flying even higher...
"King Kong, grab the machine gun and come help..."
There was no time to take out 'Stinger' now, Joe Ga called out loudly to Ayu, and when she arrived, he mounted the Barrett on her shoulder...
"Bang Bang Bang Bang..."
"Bang"
Ayu sat on the ground steady as a statue; she unfolded the Shield and planted it in the ground to act as a machine-gun stand, allowing the boss to fire the gun from her shoulder and still maintain stability...
After several rounds of trying together, Ayu's machine-gun bullets luckily grazed one of the beggar-version integrated reconnaissance and attack drones, but the other one broke through their blockade and rapidly approached toward the position.
At this moment, Joe Ga felt a long-lost sense of tension, and he closed his eyes and took a deep breath...
Just as he opened his eyes and locked onto the drone, the drone suddenly exploded, followed by a loud roaring sound that Joe Ga heard...
An F-16 flew past just above his head, directly aiming for the location where the drones had appeared, and then two air-to-ground missiles were dropped...
"Boom"
"Boom"
After two explosions, Cobra's voice came through the common channel...
"Boss, you need to give the orders!
The Air Force is not just responsible for flying, when necessary, they can also take charge of dying...
Get those 'Black Hawks' moving, kick out everyone who dares not to fly from P·B.
Seeing their boss risking his life on the frontline and yet not daring to engage is a shame for all soldiers!"
As 'Cobra' spoke, another F-16 dived from the sky and, to everyone's astonishment, launched two 'Sidewinder' air-to-ground missiles towards the ISIS pickup positions.
The moment the missiles hit the target and exploded, 'Archerfish', piloting the F-16, suddenly banked sharply near the column of smoke at low altitude, and two 250-kilogram class missiles slung under the wing were jettisoned...
"oh shit!"
Everyone couldn't help but exclaim out loud, because if those two missiles deviated from their course, there'd be no saving Sanderson and others in the village...
Joe Ga couldn't help but stand up and watch the missiles in the sky, seeing them land precisely on two sides of the village entrance road, just outside the periphery of the village, and explode...
"Boom"
"Boom"
After two loud bangs, the small village was like a piece of cake that had a piece scooped out with a spoon...
There couldn't possibly be any survivors inside!
Anxious, Joe Ga pressed the communicator and called out: "'Vanguard', how are you guys?"
Sanderson tucked away in a house, saw a building 40 meters away as if it had been ravaged by a hurricane, collapsing half of it, and subconsciously touched the wall in front of him, his voice shaking as he said: "Boss, we are okay, but it was close...
Whew...
Damn, I pissed my pants!
It really didn't have to be this way, 'Gunpowder' and 'Anteater' have arrived, we should be able to hold out..."
After hearing this, Joe Ga wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and then pressed the communicator, saying: "Cobra, have you lost your damn mind..."
'Cobra' circled in the air, then used missiles to sweep over the front of the village that had not collapsed, and finally he said, "Boss, a commander who cannot fully leverage his own advantages is unqualified.
You can't refrain from using them just because you're afraid of planes getting shot down; as long as we have enough planes, as long as we let the enemy know that as soon as they launch anti-air weapons, we'll tear them to pieces, the danger to the Air Force is not as high as you think.
Boss, you're spending so much money on recruiting pilots; when it's time for them to take risks, you cannot be polite."
