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

Chapter 565: The Battle Begins
"The Fire Bomb Technique. That's a memory of when my father first came to work at Afica. The power should be equivalent to an RG-60TB thermobaric grenade."

Xia Yu said with a look of nostalgia on his face.

He got through the loneliness and coldness at that time by reaching 50 on Qidian.com during his student days to get the premium VIP membership. He read a lot of books, including urban, fantasy, science fiction, history, etc.

There are not many who have survived to this day, and most of them have been fed to the river crab god.

Maybe it was because they sacrificed and burned themselves that his system came into being!
"As for the effect of the rocket, at least the Fire Cloud Talisman must be used. When we return home, I'll ask your uncle to draw a few for fun."

My cousin has only drawn amulets for himself. If he were asked to draw a talisman that could not be activated, he would be beaten. But if he were asked to draw a talisman that could not be activated in another generation, it might be different.

My uncle who is a carpenter makes slingshots and carves wooden swords. Why can't you, a Taoist uncle, draw a couple of talismans for the children?

The kid's dad can add the special effects himself, flamethrowers and thermobaric rockets are enough.

"Dad, I also want the kind of talisman that can call the wind and rain."

After hearing what his father said, little Youzi also became interested.

"Anything is fine, everything is fine."

Xia Yu said with great responsibility.

It’s just a rain-making rocket. As long as you have silver iodide, you can print it. You can have as many as you want.

"Dad, I want the kind that can kill zombies."

"I want the Heavenly Thunder Seed..."

Brother and sister Charles and Charlotte also rushed to speak.

At this moment, in their eyes, dad is still the omnipotent dad, but as they grow older they will find that dad also has limits.

After sleeping in the tent for a night, the novelty wore off and the three little ones started clamoring to go back. The environment of the outpost camp was definitely not as good as that of the Sherlock.

There is no need to endure hardship at such a young age. Just go back. We have to take action tonight.

Uncle Hans took them back to Moi Air Force Base, while Xia Yu stayed to make final preparations before the war.

…………

"The fire defense is still resting?"

Abdi asked his men. He had been sending people to monitor the "outpost camp" where concentrated firepower was defended, so he naturally knew the opponent's movements during this period.

"Yes, they had so many tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, but none of them could get in. Only those few light armored vehicles could drive into the mountains."

The subordinate quickly reported.

"If we had known this would happen, we should have retreated to the mountains earlier. It's a pity to lose so many people."

Abdi said with emotion after taking a long sigh.

"However, this vast mountain can stop the concentrated fire of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, but it can't stop their armed helicopters. Fortunately, I got a batch of portable anti-aircraft missiles from Mie Xin. Let's distribute them to several important strongholds!"

Xia Yu is deliberately downplaying the company's armed helicopter unit, but he can't stop Abdi from understanding the combat style of Concentrated Fire Defense!
No armed helicopters were deployed in the first phase of the battle. The enemy could just treat it as a plain battle and defeat the armored convoy, so there was no need to deploy armed helicopters at all.

But the second phase of mountain warfare was different. Apart from the Chinese who could use fighter jets to drop bombs, the only weapons that could be deployed for concentrated fire defense were armed helicopters.

Then it is natural for Abdi to take targeted precautions.

The two gangs of Xu Xin have not yet started fighting, but warlords are warlords, and the people under them are selling arms at a high price.

The multiple rocket launchers of the Sumali Youth Team came from Lu Xun, and the portable air defense missiles were also purchased from Lu Xun.

As for the model, it is no longer a Soviet product. What they imported back then was FN-6, and this is also the one sold secretly below.

Xia Yu, who had already guessed about this, wanted to say: "We are of the same roots, why are we so eager to hurt each other?"

Fortunately, conflicts will not arise in the concentrated fire defense, because they have a trump card.

To the training camp base, 4 sets of launchers and 8 missiles were delivered together with anti-aircraft shooters. On the night when the person in charge gave them more food, Group 4, who had just rested, had already ambushed near the base.

"These guys live in more dispersed areas than the Birochi. The bombing from the horseshoe bats won't be very effective later."

Looking at the twinkling kerosene lamps and candlelight, Lucas spoke.

This place is said to be a stronghold, but there is no fence at all. The shacks and mud houses are more scattered than a village. It is obvious that the other party does not want to be wiped out in one fell swoop.

"Team Leader, isn't this why we're here?"

"You're right. If we spread out the houses, none of the 500 people will be able to escape tonight."

Old Lu said confidently.

Time passed minute by minute, and after the members of the Jumali Youth Team finished chewing the last mouthful of khat leaves, they fell into a happy sleep under the influence of the ephedrine-like substances in the leaves.

Just 10 kilometers away in the sky, a bombing squadron consisting of four F-4s also dropped the first laser-guided bomb.

"Boom~boom~boom~~"

The violent explosion woke everyone up.

They grabbed AKs in panic, but rifles were of no use in the face of bombing.

At this distance, a portable air defense missile is just a fire stick.

Fortunately, they had enough experience in bombings to know that staying in the house at this time would mean death.

You have to run out and spread out far enough.

"Boom~boom~boom~~"

The reverse slope and dense trees blocked the flying fragments. As long as you were not unlucky enough to be in the center of the explosion, the chances of survival were still very high.

However, the continuous explosions masked the roar of the helicopter propellers. The members of the Jumeriah Youth Team, whose equipment rates for night vision goggles and thermal imaging scopes were far lower than those of the BLA, could not see or pay attention to the helicopter fleet in the night.

"Homelander 1 and 2 have locked onto the target, calling for C-line artillery support."

Lucas contacted the mortar position closest to them, and two coded laser beams shot towards the remaining earthen houses that the Horseshoe Bats had demolished.

As for why they are called Homelander, just call them that because all heroes whose eyes can shoot laser beams are called that!

"C line received, keep irradiating and guiding!"

Two MH1705 120mm laser terminal-guided mortar shells filled with horseshoe-shaped modular powder packs were stuffed into the muzzle of the PBP172 titanium alloy mortar.

"Bang~bang~~"

The first powerful charge splashed up countless dirt, and when the shell flew to the end, the semi-active laser guidance fuze started working.

It "sees" the laser beam corresponding to the code written before launch, and the pulse rocket begins to fine-tune its flight attitude and correct shooting errors.

"Boom~~"

I saw that this 120mm mortar shell hit the target accurately.

Mortars can only fully exert their advantages if they are guided. The error of conventional shells of several dozen meters is still a bit large. They cannot attack armored and bunker targets. How can we maximize the damage to the enemy?
As a pioneer in the PMC circle, Jihuo Defense is trying to make ammunition fully precision-guided.

Aerial bombs, rocket nests, rocket launchers, howitzers, and mortars all fire made-up ammunition, and battles that can be resolved with conventional ammunition will be assigned to the second-line village protection team.

First-line headquarters only take on the most difficult and highest-profit businesses.

"Wow~Wow~~"

Amid the background sound of gunfire and bullets, two CH-46Es landed on two selected hilltops.

As soon as the rear hatch opened, two airborne anti-aircraft vehicles rushed out, while the CH-47D Chinook and two other Sea Knights approached the edge of Point A.

"Om~~"

Three Weasel airborne combat vehicles rushed down from the plane.

"Dong~dong~dong~~"

The Rh202 and BK-27 machine guns roared alternately, tearing apart all soft targets in the direction of the muzzle.

Due to the limitation of tonnage, the Weasel with enhanced defense can only withstand 12.7mm heavy machine gun bullets, but where are the heavy machine gun fire points in the chaotic stronghold A?

As soon as the sporadic roars of PKMs were heard, they were directly covered by rockets from the Old Deer Tiger and Longbow Cross Deer hovering at low altitude. The members of the Jamali Youth Team who were attacked by surprise were unable to organize an effective counterattack.

Well, except for the anti-aircraft shooters.

In the battle royale, they are really hard to find. When the Scan Eagle locks on the target and just reports back:
"咻~咻~~"

Two slender portable anti-aircraft missiles leapt out of the launch tube, aiming directly at the longbow cross deer that was spewing fire snakes in the sky.

“Beep~click~”

The 23mm six-barreled Gatling guns on the two airborne anti-aircraft vehicles began to roar.

"Boom~Boom~~"

Less than two seconds after the main thruster was ignited, two FN-6 missiles in the takeoff acceleration phase were exploded in mid-air.

Although it is an airborne platform, the caliber of this type of air defense vehicle is larger than that of the land-based Phalanx, which means its rate of fire is slightly slower, its ammunition reserve is slightly less, and its combat endurance is slightly shorter.

But what an airborne anti-aircraft vehicle needs is efficient output in a short period of time.

"咻~咻~咻~~"

Xia Yu directly fired 20 S-8 high-explosive bombs towards the direction of the portable missile.

"Boom~boom~boom~~"

The flames of the explosion directly engulfed the shooter who was standing there stupidly reloading the launcher with spare missiles.

There was only one chance to fire at such a close distance, and the anti-aircraft shooter from the Jumali youth team, due to his lack of experience, went down to meet Pearl in his first actual combat.

There is no way. You can't win just by knowing how to operate and use weapons and equipment. Experience and tactics are both important.

The Old Female Deer and the Longbow Crossbow were harvesting heads in the center of Point A, while the remaining two upgraded Mi-24Ps were hunting the frightened deserters on the periphery.

Militants trapped in strongholds are also targets of ground forces.

The roar of the machine guns struck everyone's heart like the sound of a death knell, but the three Weasels were mainly engaged in fire suppression.

After all, machine guns can only fire three to five rounds in a burst, and the targets can't even raise their heads, but the infantry rifles they coordinate with can take down a target with just two or three rounds in a burst.

There was no point in throwing away the gun and lying next to the body of your companion pretending to be dead.

The combat employees who had bullets shot at them one by one, and there was absolutely no one who escaped.

After half an hour of high-frequency output, the sound of gunfire in my ears gradually subsided.

"This efficiency is not much worse than advancing on the plains!"

Controlling the old deer tiger that had used up all its ammunition to land on the leveled training ground, Xia Yu couldn't help but say.

"Call Line A, and bombard Point B under the guidance of the drone. Tonight is the opening game, so we have to make it lively."

He contacted the outermost M-777 artillery squad.

"Yes, boss!"

Kuhn and his men, who had only fired less than a dozen shells, felt a little unsatisfied, but fortunately Xia Yu gave them a new task.

The laser terminal-guided shell adapted to the NATO 155mm howitzer was pushed into the barrel and stuck, and then the modular propellant bag was stuffed into the chamber.

Unlike a propellant cartridge with an integrated primer, this thing needs a good primer before it can fire.

"Dong~~"

The shrew pulled the gun cord hard, and the GP-6 from the demolition site was fired out, and the folding wings in front and behind the projectile automatically unfolded.

"Boom~~"

Following the guidance of the coded laser beam fired by the ScanEagle, this special 155mm shell accurately hit the target - the largest earth house in Stronghold B.

At the artillery position here, the crew members also completed the setting of the fuse for the second shell.

"Dong~~"

The breech block closed and locked, and the Wolverine pushed a rod down, and an M82 metal primer in the magazine-type primer loader was pushed into the primer chamber. The shrew pulled the gun rope and fired another round.

A total of 12 rounds per dozen GP-6s woke up everyone in Base B. Unfortunately, Abdi was not there, but he couldn't sleep tonight.

"What? You were bombarded? Large-caliber shells? How is this possible!"

Upon hearing the news, Abdi's first reaction was disbelief.

You said that the Chinese dropped bombs on their heads, which is normal, but where did they get large-caliber howitzers in the deep mountains and forests?

Transported by helicopter!

The precision-guided bombs were all dropped in the first wave of attack, and these shells were just used as a greeting.

When Abdi realized something was wrong, he found that he could no longer contact the people at the training camp base.

A bad feeling came over me. Could it be that the defense was concentrating its firepower on me?

But even if they did it, there shouldn't be any news that gets out, right?

This is not difficult. It can be done by conducting comprehensive electromagnetic interference on stronghold A. This is also the first time that Xia Yu has tried this tactic to prevent the target from sending back useful information.

Seeing that the training camp base could no longer hold on, the person in charge was unable to contact the leader using radio or satellite phone until he was taken away by a rocket.

He has tried his best, but there are people who are unsportsmanlike and pull their "telephone lines".

"We should have done this a long time ago. We can't give them the opportunity to exchange intelligence and summarize lessons learned."

Back at the outpost camp, Xia Yu said at the post-war summary meeting.

In order to make the enemy blind and deaf, concentrated fire defense in the past did not pay attention to this aspect, which always resulted in promising results at the beginning but a "see-saw" situation in the middle and late stages.

The casualties were not great, but the losses in time and supplies were great. Xia Yu wanted to finish the second phase of the operation in a quarter and withdraw before April, just like this operation.

The consequence of the blockade of combat intelligence on the training camp base was that the remaining members of the Jamali Youth Team were like frightened birds.

They always thought that the mountains and hills could stop the concentrated fire of the defense, but they didn't expect that the other side would kill more than 500 of them silently.

None of them wanted to be the next one, so during subsequent surveillance, the drone discovered that the other side had begun to dig various fortifications on the spot and stepped up night patrols to prevent surprise attacks by concentrated fire defense.

"That's right. How can chewing leaves every day be worthy of the pearls? Digging is better than lying down!"

Xia Yu was very pleased to see such changes in the other party.

"That's not right, boss. Wouldn't they die faster this way?"

Digging fortifications and setting up firing points will indeed lead to faster death.
