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

Chapter 524: Coincidence? All-out war

“Is this a female deer?”

Eric asked in confusion as he watched Sparrowhawk B's live broadcast.

Why does he feel that even the Apaches are not that powerful?

"It's a female deer, but we modified it ourselves and improved its performance a little bit."

Xia Yu stretched out his thumb and index finger and gestured.

"Is that so? Huh~~ If the Mexican government's attitude wasn't too tough, we could cooperate with the Army Aviation and send out Apaches to deal a heavy blow to these drug cartels."

Eric let out a long sigh and said in a regretful tone.

As we all know, the magnesium military bases are spread all over the world. Many countries that want to curry favor with the magnesium country have actively invited the magnesium country to station troops there and provide them with some counter-terrorism labor for free.

However, in the American continent, the Chinese have only set up overseas bases in a few countries such as Coba and Honduras, and they do not have any in South America, which is known as their backyard.

Neither do the neighboring countries Canada and Mexico, so even if the real estate businessman president wanted to pay out of his own pocket to fight the drug lords, he was rejected.

There are many considerations involved, but there will be no problem in allowing PMC to enter the market, because private military contractors will not stay in Mexico and their only purpose in coming here is to make money.

Xia Yu could not deny what Eric said.

Ordinary Apaches won't work, you need the longbow version, and the Mexican military is really lame.

They buy Black Hawks, Mi-8/Mi-171s, but they don't buy the armed version of Black Hawks or the old Hind. The Army Aviation doesn't even have armed helicopters. No wonder those drug lords are so arrogant.

The enemy has portable air defense missiles, but we can't be afraid of being shot down and not equip ourselves with them, right?
Of course, if they don't do this, they can't concentrate fire on the defense.

But if we think about it from another perspective, it is precisely because there is a shortage that there is a demand. Xia Yu can supply second-hand female deer to the other party and ensure that the price is cheaper than that of Damao.

After two years of development, he also provides upgrade services, that is, the combat effectiveness does not meet the standards of Deer Tiger and Longbow Crossbow.

These two models are just female deer for the platform, and their comprehensive performance is not at the same level as the Mi-35M. However, Xiayu's upgraded female deer for export can compete with this male deer, and is also cheaper in price.

For 8 million US dollars, it can operate in all weather conditions, can fire Red Arrow 23 anti-tank missiles and simple inertial guidance rockets, and the Gatling gun turret has been upgraded to a dual mm cannon. There is no more cost-effective choice than this.

But wouldn't this make the users who spend 70 or 80 million dollars per unit (over 100 million plus ammunition and other things) to buy Apache seem stupid?

That’s not the case. The accuracy of their machine guns is better, and they can also integrate APKWS II guided rockets.

And then, it seemed like nothing happened.

Suddenly I feel like the price of CH-4 is comparable to that of MQ-9. Using the lowest cost to achieve to percent of the experience is the product that most people need, not a luxury product with an overpriced premium.

The convoy arrived near the manor. Xia Yu got out of the car holding his son and handed little Youzi to his mother. He was surrounded by the crowd and came to the scene.

"M2 heavy machine gun, and PKM general-purpose machine gun? What kind of combination is this?"

Ignoring the scattered soft tissues on the ground, he focused his attention on the weapons and equipment of the CJNJ vanguard.

The combination of American heavy machine guns and Soviet general-purpose machine guns is indeed a bit rare. It is obvious that 7.62×51mm ammunition is easier to supply in America, so why did the other side choose 7.62×54mm?

Could it be that they bought the UKM-2000 from Poland?

Well, it’s a PKM with a changed caliber. The Polish people always come up with some “little surprises”.

"Boss, we found two SVDs in the car over there."

So it's for universal ammunition?

As we all know, the SVD semi-automatic sniper rifle can fire machine gun bullets. Although the accuracy of using sniper bullets is better, if accuracy is pursued, CJNJ will not use Barrett, as the McMillan TAC-50 is obviously better.

"Wait, this doesn't look like an authentic SVD."

The knowledgeable Lao Ke shouted.

Many countries have imitated SVD, but the details are different. The two in front of us only look similar, but there are too many differences.

"This looks like a PSL. My dad bought one."

After taking the gun and looking at it carefully, Eric spoke.

Yes, this is the PSL of the Roman Asians. It just looks like an SVD, but it is actually a large-sized AK. In order to earn foreign exchange, they sold a lot of them all over the world.

"Romania? So it's bought from Magnesium like the M2?"

Xia Yu picked up the PKM in confusion, only to find that it didn't seem to be genuine either.

"The md.66 is also a Roman imitation of the PKM, but the receiver cover and launcher base follow the design of the PK machine gun. Director Eric, this is not available in the Magnesium country, right?"

As a common gun among Afika, he identified the specific model and asked Lao Ai about it.

"There may have been a batch of imports before 86, but even if they were preserved, they were very expensive and drug cartels could not afford them."

Eric said carefully.

"If you can't afford it, there are other channels. Or maybe they import the goods directly from Roma Niya!"

Mexico, Roman Ni-Asia weapons, CJNJ, Xia Yu felt as if he had grasped something.

"Then their AK can't be the Roman AIM!"

He picked up one from the ground, luckily he didn't see the iconic small handle.

"It's the American version of the AK. This one was converted from semi-automatic to fully automatic."

Although he is not the deputy director of ATF, DEA has to fight against armed personnel from various drug cartels, so Eric still has the ability to identify AK models.

There are very few genuine AKs, and 9% of the Kalashnikov rifles in the world are imitations.

Naturally, there are many gun factories in Magnesium that have imitated it, and the prices are both expensive and cheap, but most of them are semi-automatic.

For ordinary members of the drug cartel, semi-automatic single-shot firing is sufficient, while elite veterans who can hold down guns can use a civilian version of the AK that has been modified to restore its fully automatic firing capability.

This gun obviously belongs to an elite veteran who had half of his body shattered by a 30mm machine gun. They came here to fight, but ended up dying because of the enemy's unsportsmanlike behavior.

"Rifles are cheap, and because of the high demand, it is more convenient to buy them from within the country of Magnesium."

Xia Yu analyzed carefully.

But in order to confirm his guess, he needed more evidence to prove that this was not a coincidence.

"Now that M2's elite troops have been killed or wounded, we must seize the opportunity to expand our victory. We ask the DEA to cooperate with us."

"This is something we have already discussed, and the SRT is already in place."

Eric spoke up.

After getting the authorization, he transferred all the special response teams to Mexico in order to catch CJNJ in one fell swoop.

"Then act!"

Xia Yu gave the order, and the full-scale war against the New Generation Cartel in Jalisco was officially launched. Strangling the M2 armed convoy was just an appetizer. After all, they only had about 100 people at most, and Xia Yu's battle plan was to kill thousands of them in the first phase.

Taking advantage of the fact that the intelligence has not yet been leaked, they do not need synthetic tanks to fight for the time being, and the defensive power of infantry fighting vehicles is enough.

After all, the Mexican Army has no tanks, so why buy anti-tank missiles without tanks? On the contrary, the military has so many helicopters, so portable air defense missiles are a real need.

To attack the fragile armored vehicles of the military, police, and rival drug cartels, rocket launchers and recoilless guns are enough.

These ammunitions, which fly at subsonic speeds throughout their entire journey, are unable to penetrate the active defense system, so the safety of the accompanying infantry does not need to be considered for the time being.

The SRTs were dispersed and coordinated with several digital teams. Although they were still doing CQB work, the experience of being incorporated into mechanized units for combat was truly novel.

Faced with the enemy's automatic firepower, they called for fire support for the first time, and the 30mm and 35mm machine guns directly penetrated the brick wall and extinguished the target.

How should I put it? We have never fought such a rich war.

"Wow~Wow~~"

Xia Yu, who was flying to a CJNJ stronghold, was also very wealthy, because the two outermost Pailong racks of the old Luhu were equipped with four Hellfire anti-tank missiles instead of the short-legged HOT-4.

Marquez's offer meant that he no longer had to worry about cost control, and all types of missiles were lifted, allowing them to be used without restriction.

For example, the data cable transplanted from the Falling Tiger has been used to attack the expiring Hoth-3, and the Hellfire that the Chinese are reluctant to attack is even more reluctant to attack Xia Yu, even though the price of this thing is not much more expensive than the Maverick.

But this time Mexico's deployment is different. The drug lords they want to attack are not as concentrated as the rebels and extremist organizations. Thousands of people are scattered in hundreds of visible and hidden strongholds.

Those that are close will be given to the ground troops, and those that are farther away will have to be attacked separately by him and the Cuckoo crew.

The Snow Leopard crew is lurking in the largest and farthest stronghold of CJNJ, where part of their Delta Force and elite forces are stationed. It is also the base most likely to be equipped with portable air defense missiles.

But what the hell is Delta Force?

The army's structure includes companies, battalions and brigades. The CJNJ, which has several thousand people, has naturally evolved into various secondary units, such as the Belika Action Team, the Lizard Action Team, the Monjo Special Forces, the Black Panther Force, as well as units with more funny names such as Lemon, Yogurt, and Gardener.

Some of them were formed by El Mencho himself, while others were recruited during the expansion and territorial grabbing in earlier years.

The combat effectiveness varies, and the Delta is not that weak, but the one with the strongest individual combat effectiveness is the Special Forces Supreme Command.

This is Lao Ai's personal army, responsible for protecting him closely. The DEA cannot find him, and this team is not included in the first phase of the concentrated fire defense operation plan.

But CJNJ had so many direct descendants and miscellaneous brands that Xia Yu couldn't defeat them all.

Influenced by the group boss, their leader El Mencho, these secondary units of CJNJ love to play on the Internet.

They posted a large number of videos on Twitter, Tik Tok, and Instagram, formed an account matrix, and the DEA collected enough intelligence.

In the past, the conditions were not ripe to attack these guys, but now with the addition of concentrated fire defense, Eric saw the opportunity to wipe out CJNJ in one fell swoop.

"Wow~Wow~~"

It flew all the way towards Zacatecas State and stopped less than 8 kilometers away from the target location.

"Hey~~"

A flash of fire appeared in the night, and the AGM-114 Hellfire flew away from the rack with a tail flame and disappeared from Xia Yu's sight.

"Boom~~"

The mast-top electro-optical sight transmitted the images taken by the thermal imaging channel, and saw that seven or eight vehicles parked together in the stronghold were all taken away in one wave.

The loud explosion woke up everyone in the stronghold. They rushed out with guns in their hands without even putting on their clothes, and then they saw that all their cars were gone.

Not to mention paramilitary groups, even many real military forces like to park their cars together, with no concept of not putting all their eggs in one basket.

It's just that the car is gone, but the people are still there...

"咻~咻~咻~~"

With the nose of the plane raised up to the sky at a 45-degree angle, Xia Yu emptied the two rocket nests without hesitation.

In the night, 40 80mm dart bullets flew along a parabolic trajectory and smashed into the people in the open space of the stronghold.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~~"

Amid a series of explosions, countless small darts pierced the naked human-shaped soft targets.

Xia Yu stepped on the collective pitch lever and increased the speed to the maximum. Only then did the lucky people in the stronghold hear the propeller noise coming from afar.

"Du~~"

The Gatling gun turret rotated and opened fire, and 12.7×108mm tracer bullets rained down on the target that showed signs of activity.

Well, this unit called Lizard Action Team, more than 200 people were either pierced into hedgehogs by small darts or shot to pieces by large-caliber machine gun bullets.

"Du~~"

Continuing to fire at the three houses in the stronghold, Xia Yu was clearing out the ultimate lucky guy who might be inside.

But he didn't know whether he could scan it or not.

Continue to rush to the next stronghold and repeat the previous operation. Old Luhu has used up all the ammunition except for two Hellfires.

But why does Xia Yu prefer female deer so much? Isn’t it because he has a transport cabin?

On the way to meet the Snow Leopard crew, the armed helicopter was controlled to land at the designated location. An infantry squad of the village protection team sent by the Black Hawk immediately stepped forward, opened the hatch, and loaded all 80 rockets inside into four rocket pods.

The Gatling gun turret's ammunition supply quickly recovered to 1300+. Without any missile replenishment, the remaining two Hellfires were enough.

"Wow~Wow~~"

The old Luhu, who had been revived with full blood, took off into the air again and pounced towards the largest stronghold of CJNJ.

The Longbow Crossbow is very good for attacking convoys, but if it is used to destroy strongholds, the rocket pod must be replaced with a machine gun pod.

But without the cover of the Red Cheetah, it is better to throw missiles at ultra-long distances and guided rockets at medium distances!

The job was given to the boss, whose bones were almost rusted, but when he was replenishing ammunition, the bad news reached El Mencho who was sleeping.

"What? The Gardeners, the Lizard Squad... were all attacked?"

After listening to the report from Odias, the leader of the Gardener Corps who escaped death, Old Ai was stunned on the spot.

No way, he seldom dreams, how could he have such an absurd dream?

Only after pinching himself did El Mencho realize that he was not dreaming.

"Yes, Jefe. The other side deployed armed helicopters and infantry fighting vehicles. The military doesn't have these things at all. I don't know where they came from."

Sitting on the ground, Odias gasped and said in a panic.

The military's vehicles with machine guns are all wheeled platforms, and the only tracked one is the HWK-11 "West German MT-LB" model. Could it be that the Chinese have invaded?
