Chapter 556: Late-night Attack, Divine Soldiers Descend from the Sky

"Here we are. Do you have confidence in your first actual combat?"

Xia Yu asked Lao Hu with a smile.

"Make sure to complete the mission."

Having driven the civilian version of Black Hawk for twenty years, Lao Hu answered with great energy.

Their mission was divided into two phases. Before the battle, the advance team would be sent to a location 8 kilometers away from the target village, and then they would take the mountain road to get close to the enemy.

This was just a routine mission. The second stage involved actual combat. After the company's two red fighting falcons dropped bombs, four UH-4As from the Black Hawk Squadron would deliver the airborne team and combat supplies to the vicinity of point A.

Night combat was originally a buff for concentrated fire defense, but with the addition of the term [Mountain], it has become a great test of the military qualities of the company's employees.

"Well, this time we will not let any BLA member go. They will pay the price for their stupidity."

If you want to establish Greater Bastille, no one will say anything even if you learn from the Kurds, and you can just decide the outcome on the battlefield. But if you engage in conspiracy and kill people who shouldn't be killed, there's nothing we can do about it.

The concentrated fire defense that was about to be withdrawn to Afika for vacation now entered combat readiness mode again.

"Wow~Wow~~"

The day before the operation, four UH-4As took off from the outpost camp, carrying an advance team consisting of Group 60, Group 4, and half of the instructor group, and flew towards the target village.

Mechanized infantry must be able to carry heavy loads and run long distances on the vast plains, while elite mountain hunters need to carry heavy loads and march quickly on plateaus and mountains.

In this kind of rugged and primitive mountainous area, no wheeled or tracked vehicles are effective.

So it's either human two legs, or an intelligent biological vehicle like a donkey that is smaller than a horse.

In Bogo Village, BMWs and MINIs are born one after another. Afuhan also has a local donkey breed that is more suitable for the mountains here, but BLA's strength is limited, and the advance team is only playing a supporting role. Nearly 20 people only carry combat loads.

As for Xia Yu's secret weapon, the armored units that will be used by Concentrated Fire Defense this time, all will be airdropped to designated locations by helicopter after the battle begins.

If you can't walk on the mountain road, you can still airdrop. He had already considered this when he bought the Chinook.

"how is the situation?"

After seeing off the four UH-4As, Xia Yu walked into the tent and asked.

The drone ground control station is set up here. Since the discovery of BLA's traces, Jihuo Defense has been conducting all-weather and multi-angle monitoring of it.

He knew so much detail that he knew how many people came in and how many people left.

"Boss, the target has started killing sheep, a lot of them. If they are celebrating the attack, isn't it a little late?"

On the screen, several long-eared Wagjir sheep were taken out of the livestock pen and slaughtered by armed men with guns.

On the grasslands and in the mountains, livestock are important assets for herders.

A sheep would only be slaughtered during important festivals or when a distinguished guest came. Such an extravagant behavior by the other party was not in line with common sense.

And it is impossible for the militants who were transformed from herders to eat mutton every day. The financial support from their backers is... huh?

Could it be that Baixiang sent people to Afuhan?

The goal is to entertain them?

"The goat has to be from the mountains. Goats that grow on garbage are only considered delicious by low-caste untouchables."

In the evening, while eating delicious roasted goat meat, a middle-aged man with not so dark skin and obviously of high caste said.

"We are very satisfied with your actions and hope that you will continue to work hard and achieve more results."

"Mr. Commissioner, we will continue to work hard, but we need funding."

The man next to him, who was wearing traditional Beluga clothing, said with a smile.

"I have brought the funds, all in US dollars. And those needle-types are too old. I brought you a batch of needle-S. I hope you can take out more helicopters in the next attack."

The special envoy said, patting the suitcase at his feet.

Why not spend a little money to make the Palestinians anxious?
Of course, 500% of the money went out of Delhi, and another 200% went abroad. When he arrived in Afghan, the million US dollars allocated to BLA became million.

This money has strong purchasing power in Afghanistan, especially after the withdrawal of the American people, the price of weapons on the black market has dropped a lot.

Tata won’t sell the captured equipment, but former government soldiers are willing to sell it!
Almost all of the light weapons left to them by the Magnesium Army for their own use ended up on the black market, which caused a certain degree of oversupply, and the price naturally had to drop. Fortunately, the quantity was sufficient.

In addition to the Baluch people who cause trouble for Pakistan, the buyers also include ethnic minority armed forces from the northeastern states of India.

The third brother, who learned from the former suzerain country, likes to stir up trouble very much. However, they are so incompetent that they can't even launch a strong attack internally. The public security in big cities is a mess, and many border states have active rebel forces, which are impossible to wipe out completely.

"We will, and please ask the special commissioner to stay a few more days so that we can entertain you."

Seeing the boxes of US dollars, the commander of the BLA said solemnly.

The Americans spent 600 million US dollars to buy 9 sheep, and the 200 million US dollars could buy tens of thousands of sheep for the Bamar people.

But what to eat? This money is the fund for the establishment of Great Balochistan.

At the outpost camp less than 100 kilometers away from them, Xia Yu was also tasting the grilled lamb chops of Wagjir sheep.

Not long before the magnesium army's sky-high priced mutton incident, he happened to have the opportunity to consult an insider and learned that the legendary 9 sheep were not bought to be eaten.

From what Lao Qiao meant, it seemed like these were some kind of breeding sheep that were bought to improve the quality of the Afuhan mutton.

But breeding sheep is real, and balancing the accounts is also real, it’s just a matter of adding one or two zeros after the real number.

Moreover, Xia Yu felt that the Wagjir sheep was already delicious, and there was no need to sacrifice the quality of the meat in order to grow meat quickly. This could be sold at a higher price.

"Calling eins, this is Weasel, what's your situation?"

After filling his stomach, Xia Yu called Lucas and said that he saw that the GPS coordinates of the advance team had stopped.

"We are having dinner and are 5 kilometers away from our target."

Lucas replied.

Mountain hunters know best what it means to run to the top of a mountain and then die, especially in this primitive mountainous area that has never been developed at all.

"You've worked hard. When we take down the target tomorrow night, I'll use their sheep to roast a whole lamb for everyone to eat."

The goats in Afuhan are not expensive, but the free ones are the most delicious.

When I heard there was roasted whole lamb, the individual self-heating rations in my hands tasted even better.

The two sides exchanged a few more words before ending the contact. It was time for Xia Yu to withdraw as tomorrow would be the day of the decisive battle.

Nothing happened that night, and time quickly came to the next afternoon.

The battle plan had been discussed repeatedly before, and everyone was in a calm state of mind, just waiting silently for the night to fall.

Little Youzi and his younger brothers and sisters put on children's bulletproof vests and tactical vests, but not long after it got dark, the three little guys started yawning.

They were woken up at five in the morning and had not taken a nap yet. They had managed to hold on until now only because of their passion, but passion could not resist the sleepiness.

Before their father gave the order to set off, the three men, who were fighting with their eyelids, couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep holding their toy guns.

"Private First Class Shad, Private Charles and Charlotte, get up and fight."

A weasel was shaking a child while filming a video. This is all evidence. He did not break his promise. They broke their promise. Do you think a soldier who dozes off on the battlefield is a good soldier?
"Then go to sleep. Mom and Dad can't wake you up, so they'll have to go to battle on their own. I'll see you at breakfast."

After pressing the square button to stop filming, the couple who had been trying hard to hold back their laughter burst into laughter.

"Honey, I'm going first."

After getting off the Sherlock, Xia Yu hugged his wife and said.

"Be careful, I'm waiting for your breakfast."

"Wow~Wow~~"

Xia Yu arrived at the outpost camp in the Old Black Hawk.

Everyone here is ready for battle, just waiting for the boss's order.

"Time is up, call the tube-nosed bats and horseshoe bats to attack point B in 10 minutes."

"Yes, boss!"

The two people who were cruising in the airspace near the target village answered.

They could launch the attack now, but they would have to wait for the main force to arrive.

"Wow~Wow~~"

The Old Black Hawk, Chinook, Old Deer Tiger and Longbow Crossbow from the outpost camp took off one after another, forming a flight formation of 7 helicopters and flew rapidly towards the target village less than 100 kilometers away.

The helicopter has a flight time of just over two hours, so this air-ground coordinated battle will also be over within two hours.

Flying at top speed, the helicopter formation only flew half the distance in 10 minutes, but for the fighter jets they had already entered the attack distance.

The optoelectronic pod emitted a coded laser beam onto the earthen house at point B. After the two men who were fighting for their country finished setting the data, the two red fighting falcons each dropped the first GBU-12.

"Boom~Boom~~"

Two loud bangs in succession broke the silence of the valley, and all members of BLA woke up.

What happened?
Nawab, the commander who lived at Point A and had a wife and children, jumped up from the carpet.

"Boom~Boom~~"

Two more explosions were heard. He picked up his gun and quickly ran out of the house. He saw the fire on the other side of the hill at a glance.

"Is it a fighter jet?"

Tata opened the airspace to the Pakistani Air Force? The key is that they were all hiding in Afghanistan. How did the other party find BLA?
Nawab had too many questions in his mind at the moment, but now was not the time to dwell on the minutiae.

Now they had to flee from this exposed hiding place, and run as many as possible. Even if only half of them could survive, with the support of the Indians, BLA could still catch their breath.

"Boom~Boom~~"

As the explosions continued, Nawab quickly took out his walkie-talkie, switched to the public channel and announced the order for all grassroots commanders to disperse and evacuate.

"Bang~~"

On a hill opposite the target village point A, Paul, wearing a thermal imaging camouflage net, pulled the trigger. After a gunshot, Nawab's chest was pierced by the bullet of a .338 sniper bullet.

The militants can't tell the rank of the official, so they pick on those with walkie-talkies, as it is impossible for a soldier to be equipped with such a thing.

Paul's shot was like a signal, and other snipers and machine gunners opened fire at the same time, firing at the militants who were leaving the house at point A.

What the advance team has to do is to suppress the enemy's firepower for the second airborne echelon and never let Black Hawk Down happen again.

They did not hesitate to use their ammunition. As long as they could successfully parachute in, they could get supplies even if they ran out of bullets.

So the remaining members of the BLA, who had just lost their supreme commander Nawab, were beaten and hid back in the house, relying on the mud houses to launch a counterattack on the opposite hill.

The special envoy from India clenched his pistol tightly. He regretted making this trip for Afuhan's mutton and 50 US dollars. It would have been better if he stayed in the country.

"Boom~Boom~~"

"Wow~Wow~~"

The explosion sound in the back mountain had not stopped yet, and the roar of helicopter propellers came from the sky again.

Damn Palestinians, they still want to conduct airborne operations?

At a glance, he saw the portable anti-aircraft missiles he had brought with him.

The fighter jets have to withdraw as soon as they drop their bombs, but the helicopters can deliver personnel, and he cannot fall into the hands of the enemy.

Thinking of this, he made up his mind, ran to the outer room and found the translator assigned to him by the Nawab, and asked him to contact all the anti-aircraft shooters of BLA to come to him.

Nawab has lost contact and is most likely in danger, so now he has to save himself.

"Wow~Wow~~"

On the hill opposite the target village point A, a CH-47D landed first, or rather hovered and opened the tail door.

"Om~~"

The engine of a Weasel airborne tank upgraded with a 27mm machine gun was refueled and was driven down by Soran (Elephant Shrew).

"Dong~dong~dong~~"

The commander and gunner Benjamin (Zokor) aimed at a machine gun position at point A and opened fire directly.

Amid the roar of machine guns, another wheeled platform with machine guns drove out from the long cargo hold of the Chinook.

If it were just an ordinary helicopter-dropped combat vehicle, this unprotected wheeled vehicle would be no match for the Weasel.

But in addition to the 6-barrel 23mm Gatling cannon, this thing also integrates 4 anti-aircraft missiles, a small air search radar, and an optoelectronic ball.

Yes, this is not an airborne infantry fighting vehicle for ground attack, but an airborne anti-aircraft vehicle for air attack.

Xia Yu purchased this unfinalized equipment in order to deal with the situation of encountering portable air defense missiles in mountain warfare. The Red Cheetah is so large that it is impossible to transport it into mountainous areas for combat.

But this airborne anti-aircraft vehicle, designed specifically for heavy transport helicopters, can.

The only problem is that optoelectronic equipment and radar are both big power consumers, and their battery life after being turned on is relatively low. Therefore, in later versions, it seems that only one of the optoelectronic ball and radar can be retained.

Xia Yu chose both. Large-scale airborne operations need to consider endurance, but concentrated fire defense does not. The scenarios where they use airborne anti-aircraft vehicles are in plateaus and mountains, to escort helicopters that cooperate in operations.

In other words, they only need to last two hours after turning on the machine, and the combat endurance index is not important to them.

"Om~~"

The air search radar on the vehicle began to rotate to search for the target.

Two red Fighting Falcons, two Scan Eagles, and six helicopters in the sky were all displayed on the screen. Because they were equipped with an IFF system, they were all marked with green apertures.

From landing on the ground to completing deployment, no red threats appeared until the Scan Eagle locked onto five air defense units from an aerial perspective.

"Du~~"

The SAM-24 completed the lock and sounded a prompt tone to indicate that it was ready to launch.
