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

Chapter 484

In the outpost camp, Xia Yu, who had watched the convoy set off, retracted his gaze, put on his helmet, and sat in his old Luhu, and made the final preparations before takeoff with Lao Han next door.

Compared with the Tubu armed forces which are only the size of a reinforced battalion (referring to the number of people), the Tuareg are organized into a brigade, with nearly 3,000 people who carry guns and make a living, and there are also about a thousand people who can be called elite.

However, there are only a little over 2,000 people stationed in the camp near the Sharara oil field. The rest are scattered outside, escorting smuggled weapons and equipment, and chasing and intercepting illegal immigrants crossing the border.

This time, almost all the concentrated fire defense was mobilized, and the target was the 2,000 people in the camp.

There are more than 200 regular employees and the second-line village protection team. A one-to-ten ratio is not even a surprise attack, so they cannot afford to take it lightly.

"Calling Huangshan, the target is a convoy that has left the camp and is heading southeast."

The Sea Eagle crew contacted Xia Yu.

The other party is monitoring them, and they are also aware of the other party's every move.
"Immediately take off Sparrowhawk B to take over the surveillance of the convoy's direction, and the Howling Sea Eagle will continue to stay above the target camp."

Xia Yu gave orders in an orderly manner.

The convoy that left the camp at this time was most likely heading for the arsenal, and there might even be a battlefield set up there. As long as they shifted their target, the enemy's camp would be able to avoid the attack, and then they could be outflanked and cut off from their retreat.

The arsenal is there and won't run away, so he won't let go of the enemy's base!
"The convoy continues to advance towards the target camp. The Cuckoo Bird crew and I will soon meet up with you."

Xia Yu started the engine as he spoke, and the Old Deer Tiger and the Longbow Cross Deer took off one after another, chasing after the convoy that had set off earlier.

"Yes, Boss... We have arrived at the designated supply point. The logistics team will stay, and the other units and I will continue to move forward."

After replying, Hans immediately switched to the convoy's internal communication channel and issued an order.

The Weasel K1 and Leclerc ARV, as well as two BTR-82S and ammunition and fuel supply vehicles stopped less than 5 kilometers from the target and established a logistics supply point on the spot.

The result of high degree of synthesis is that all equipment is big and powerful. If you don't serve them well, they will just lie down and show you. Only by bringing the logistics supply points to the front line can the armored convoys maintain their reckless charge and high-frequency output.

But they also successfully attracted firepower, and Taiquidda, who learned advanced experience, released five modified consumer-grade drones directly in a sand pit 3 kilometers away.

"Woo~wu~wu~~"

The quadcopter flew rapidly towards the logistics supply point. The DIY grenade warhead below can definitely give...

Hmm? Why is the image transmission lost?
The pilots holding the remote controls immediately looked at each other in surprise. Now, let alone controlling the drone to drop bombs, they couldn't even return with one click.

Just kidding, Xia Yu entered the PMC industry by starting out with consumer-grade drones, so he naturally wouldn't ignore the situation where someone used this trick on him.

The front-line combat troops are equipped with Red Cheetahs, but the second-line logistics are not so luxurious and do have drone signal jammers.

Instead of using a few drones to destroy his front-line logistics supply points, it would be better to set up a few large-caliber mortars and use up all the shells before the armed helicopters can react.

This way the success rate is higher, but Taiquidda got drone PTSD and made such a stupid move.

Before his men could report the news, the armored convoy rushed into the sight of the target camp.

"Hey~~"

At this moment, a cornet flew out of the camp. No, it should be a Dravi anti-tank missile produced in Persia.

In addition to supplying the Weasel S3 and S30 infantry fighting vehicles for export, Xiayu has never shipped a large number of cornets to other countries. However, Yiluan's imitation cornets can be said to be flourishing in the Middle East and North Philippines.

The National Army has Javelin and Genuine Cornet, and the National Unity Government also has Dravid, and everyone can blow up the other side's tanks and armored vehicles.

However, since its opening, the defense has suffered hundreds of anti-tank missiles in just a few years and is not afraid of this level of counterattack.

"Dong~dong~dong~~"

"Boom~~"

Without waiting for the active defense system to react, the Cheetah A9, which caught the missile faster, opened fire with its muzzle rotated. The barrage of several programmed bullets easily destroyed the more than 20-kilogram missile body, which exploded into a fireball 1 kilometer away.

If you want to shoot down a cruise missile like the Tomahawk that weighs over a ton, the power of a programmable air-blast bomb is definitely not enough, so a 35mm small steel needle must be used.

The problem is that no one has ever used cruise missiles to attack them, and the 40 fin-stabilized armor-piercing shells with discarding sabots that the Snow Leopard crew has have never been used.

"咻~咻~咻~~"

Several more Dravid rounds were fired from the camp at the armored convoy, but this time the Snow Leopard crew did not open fire.

As the first vehicle in the long snake formation, Hans on the Leclerc UAE was ready to save a few interception shells for the upcoming close combat. He directly controlled the 14 GALIX multi-purpose ejectors on both sides of the turret and fired a large-scale smoke screen of 10 smoke bombs mixed with heat-seeking shells at a time.

Because it was a replica of the cornet, Dravi had no choice but to shoot and ignore it. The anti-tank operator kept controlling the laser beam to lock onto the target.

But at the moment when the missile was approaching, no vehicle in the convoy could be seen through either the day and night optical channel or the thermal imaging channel on the launcher.

The cornet was also the powerful weapon of the Fire Defense Force in those days, so during daily training, we naturally conducted confrontation training targeting its weaknesses.

For this kind of missile that fires and sees, it is enough to make the opponent unable to see it, even if it is only for a short while.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~~"

They went into the smoke screen and came out without hitting anything. They saw several anti-tank missiles either crashing into the ground out of control or being harmlessly detonated by self-destruct fuses, while the unharmed armored convoy also approached within shooting distance.

"Dong × 3~~"

Leclerc, T-80U and T-80BVM opened fire almost simultaneously, with three grenades hitting the brick wall of the camp directly.

"咻~咻~咻~~"

At a lower altitude farther away, the Longbow Crossbow fired three 70mm inertial guidance rockets directly, and two of them successfully hit the target amid continuous explosions.

Two anti-tank teams that had changed positions and were replacing missile launch tubes were blown directly into the sky.

Simple inertial navigation is best for hitting fixed and semi-fixed targets, while moving targets still need laser and infrared. However, if you want to clean the ground, uncontrolled navigation is the most suitable choice.

"Wow~Wow~~"

"咻~咻~咻~咻~~"

Xia Yu drove the old doe and took the lead, flying over the target camp and fired a salvo.

Dart shells mixed with high-explosive shells destroyed all the unfortunate people who were caught in the face by the rockets, until the first portable anti-aircraft missile was fired into the sky.

"Dong~dong~dong~~"

"Boom~~"

The Red Cheetah's dual 35mm gun muzzles rotated upwards and fired 6 shells, directly crushing the boss's cold arrow.

"Retreat, retreat towards the oil field, wait until their helicopters run out of fuel and then turn to the arsenal."

Tequiedar suggested to Alicanna.

This was also what they had discussed. It was impossible for concentrated fire defense to attack the oil fields, and the armed helicopters without auxiliary fuel tanks could only stay in the air for two hours at most.

"Let's withdraw!"

Alicanna said unwillingly.

The plan to trick the enemy into going to the arsenal had failed. The enemy only had their main force in mind. Now the only option was to implement the backup plan and withdraw the main force to the arsenal.

But that would mean hundreds of casualties on the way. They would definitely be seriously damaged this time. Damn the concentrated fire defense.

"Calling the boss, they seem to be trying to break out in different directions. It looks like they are heading to the Sharara oil field. Should we pursue them?"

Hans, who was shooting indiscriminately with a coaxial machine gun, saw that the situation was not right and quickly contacted Xia Yu.

"I saw it, too. There's no need to pursue the convoy. You stay in the camp and continue to eliminate the remaining militants. This is a pure conspiracy using the oil field as a cover. We won't fall for it."

"Hey~~"

"Boom~~"

While Xia Yu was calmly analyzing the situation, he also fired a Hot-3.

The missile sent an armed pickup truck into the sky, and he immediately cleared the outermost light rack.

The armored convoy could not pursue, and the armed helicopters could not pursue either, because Alikana had definitely taken away all the portable anti-aircraft missiles in the camp.

Without self-propelled anti-aircraft guns to intercept missiles, his old Deer Tiger would not be able to withstand a few bullets even if its armor was upgraded.

At times like this, there's an A-10 Warthog with a full load of Mavericks, there's an Su-25 Frogfoot with a full load of Tornadoes, there's an A- Warthog with a full load of…

Well, the Longbow Crossbow can also carry anti-tank missiles with a long range, not to mention the support of precision-guided rockets.

"咻~咻~咻~~"

"Dong~dong~dong~~"

The Cinderella crew emptied all the guided ammunition on the Pylon towards the fleeing convoy, then turned around and continued to use machine guns to concentrate fire on the remaining enemies in the camp.

Xia Yu was in a similar situation. The rocket launchers and missiles had been used up, and the thousands of rounds of ammunition in the machine gun turret had dropped to double digits.

He first returned to the front-line logistics supply point to replenish ammunition and fuel. Taking advantage of a few minutes of free time, he picked up the tablet and checked the situation of the Sparrowhawk B convoy.

All the militants had gotten out of the vehicle, hid the vehicle, and hid themselves in a dozen sand pits that had been dug in advance.

"The straight-line distance between their location and the oil field is only fifteen kilometers. This secret arsenal is indeed nearby."

Xia Yu said happily.

His inference was correct. Colonel Kadiz initially planned to make a comeback by relying on the Sharara oil field, but plans could not keep up with changes. The troops were defeated while they were still in Sirte and could not even advance into the desert.

"Calling Weasel, this is Sea Eagle, target to establish a large-caliber mortar position in the oil field."

Thousands of miles away at the ground control station, seeing the Tuareg with the 120mm barrel, the Sea Eagle crew immediately contacted Xia Yu.

"Great! You still want to bombard us! Call the Mongoose and evacuate the camp immediately and move out of the range of the artillery fire."

While Xia Yu was complaining, he did not forget to call Hans.

"Yes, boss, everyone get in the car, we're evacuating!"

The digital team and the village protection team, which were still clearing and advancing one area at a time, immediately returned to their vehicles. The armored convoy, which had used up more than half of its ammunition, stepped on the accelerator and rushed out of the camp.

"Boom~boom~boom~~"

Less than a minute after they had walked away, the first 120mm shell hit the ground and exploded, followed by dozens of shells.

Compared with mortars, the firepower of BM-21 Hail may be more suitable for the Tuareg, but the multiple rocket launchers in the arsenal seem to have been used up in Marri.

There are not many left of the more than 800 BM-21 and RM-70 (same caliber) from the Gaddafi era. There are only double-digit numbers in this arsenal at most, but the number of mortars is too large.

"Please call the Sharara oilfield workers for me and tell them that there may be shelling coming but it will not affect them."

It is impolite not to reciprocate. The other party has sent so many artillery shells for concentrated fire defense, Xia Yu must at least return two shells!

There were no truck guns or self-propelled howitzers at the outpost camp because they didn't bring either of them because it was too troublesome, but they still brought the old TRF1 with traction belt power.

After receiving the order from the front line, the artillery crew members immediately stuffed a programmed GP1 laser-guided shell into the barrel. Because NATO standards were adopted, the loader directly filled in three propellant bags and closed the breech block.

"Dong~~"

The instantly exploding explosive bag pushed out the guided shell, and the CH-4 hovering over the Sharara oil field also fired an invisible coded laser beam, hitting the mortar crew that was packing up and preparing to escape.

"Boom~~"

Under the guidance of the laser at the end, the shell hit the target as if it had eyes.

The only artillery force for concentrated fire defense is multiple rocket launchers. Xia Yu can pull out enough howitzers for ordinary artillery, but not the corresponding number of artillery squads.

At this time, precision strikes are very necessary. Howitzers that only carry a small amount of conventional ammunition are only used as launch platforms for precision-guided munitions, just like now...

"Dong~~dong~~"

"Boom~~"

After the first cold cannon shot, the second and third shots followed. Xia Yu only used three GP-3 shots to destroy the enemy's entire mortar position.

The high-altitude reconnaissance and strike drones equipped with 155mm laser-guided artillery shells have made the Tuareg's portable air defense missiles useless. The precision strikes will only kill the enemy and will not damage important facilities in the oil field.

"Damn, is that a missile?"

Alicanna cursed angrily.

"It's artillery shells. They have precision-guided artillery shells like the National Army."

The well-informed Taiquidda replied.

Not only does Focus Defense have GP-1, the UAE has also provided this thing to the National Army. The NATO common caliber is 155mm and can be fired by any howitzer.

In order to curb the National Unity Government, they are not unable to give away their newly purchased GP-6s.

"They have the means to carry out precision strikes, and the oil fields are no longer safe. Before they get here, we should immediately retreat to the arsenal."

The insecure Tequieda took the lead and walked towards his pickup truck. He did not want to be killed by a precision-guided artillery shell. The Azawad Movement was still waiting for him to return and revive!

"go!"

Seeing that the last few Tuareg vehicles had withdrawn from the oil field, the staff finally breathed a sigh of relief, sat down to drink a cup of coffee to calm their nerves, and then continued production.

This is the daily routine in Libia. As long as the oil field is not blown up, production cannot stop.

On the concentrated fire defense side, Lao Wu prepared the meals at the outpost camp, and then trucks delivered them directly to the front-line logistics supply point.

Although it was not yet time for lunch, after the dawn attack and the early morning breakfast, everyone's stomachs were already empty.

Now they can only work after they are full. They must take over the entire arsenal by tonight at the latest.
