Time Travel 04: I Fight the US in the Middle East

In every occupied territory, American soldiers were treated like royalty. Not only could they confiscate "contraband" on a regular basis, but they could even bring any woman they fancied into their homes!

They wouldn't dare go too far with Yituo, but... now that there's a fire at the base, requesting the local fire department to put it out is absolutely a legitimate reason! They have to come, whether they want to or not; if there's danger, they'll definitely be the ones to step in!

Upon hearing Alvin's words, Sean Gaines replied without hesitation, "Then what are we waiting for? Make the call now!"

"yes!"

After instructing his subordinates to call for reinforcements, Sean Gaines turned to the others present: "What are you all standing around for? If the fire affects the parking area, then hurry up and get there..."

Splash...

Before he could finish speaking, the pilots vanished without a trace.

Are you kidding me!

Where to? The helipad? The helicopter might burn, but what if it burns us?

It's not that they're afraid of death. The U.S. military never cultivates the concept of protecting taxpayers' money. Once a fighter jet crashes, the pilot will be the first to eject, even if there's a residential area in front of him. After all, it's better to die for your friends than for yourself!

Now... nobody will protect the plane!

Seeing the canteen suddenly become empty, Sean Gaines was furious but helpless; his men were all seasoned soldiers!

Mutrabi Fire Station.

Jingle Bell……

The moment the phone rang, everyone was incredibly excited!

They've finally come to ask for help!

Azam picked up the phone and said in a deep voice, "Hello, Mutrabi Fire Station, what? Victoria Base is on fire? Okay, we're on our way!"

Whoosh, whoosh!

Everyone scrambled onto the Mercedes NG80 fire truck, and a hunting operation was about to begin!

Buzz, buzz!

The OM442 engine emitted cheerful roars, as if it too was excited about this mission!

On the first fire truck, Ali-Hazem looked at Azam, who had jumped into the passenger seat, and asked, "Leader Azam, are you... really going with us?"

Although all preparations have been made, it is still too dangerous, after all, it is a base heavily defended by the US military!

These people were born to fight, and as for leaders... well, the previous leaders of the Mahdi Army always stayed in the background.

"Of course," Azam said, "How could I miss out on such a spectacular battle!"

"Yes, Leader Azam, I will follow you for the rest of my life!"

Azam nodded: "I will also dedicate my life to the anti-American cause!"

Ali-Hazem felt a surge of excitement, stepped on the gas, drove out of the fire station, turned on the siren, and sped away!

In the past, anti-American activities could only be carried out in secret; no one ever dared to stand out in the open. But now... this is the first time such a blatant attack has been launched!

Ali-Hazim glanced at Azam sitting in the passenger seat and secretly made up his mind that it was more exciting to fight alongside Leader Azam. His life belonged to Leader Azam!

Less than five minutes later, we saw plumes of black smoke rising in the distance, with blazing flames beneath them. The fire was really intense!

Soon, a checkpoint protected by Stryker armored vehicles appeared ahead.

Normally, the American soldiers on patrol would have drawn their guns to threaten the Arabs if they saw them approaching! But now, seeing the fire truck arrive, everyone was excited; the fire truck had come just in time!

"Quickly, move the roadblocks away!" Commander Lucas shouted from the outpost.

The men quickly ran up and moved the roadblocks. The fire trucks arrived at high speed with almost no slowing down!

Drip!

Ali-Hazem honked his horn to signal to the American soldiers, and several of them instinctively saluted!

This scene is definitely a highlight moment for our Mahdi Army!

Inside the base command center, Sean Gaines, holding binoculars, watched the rapidly approaching fire trucks and frowned. "Only three fire trucks? Can they help us put out this fire?"

Alvin spoke up: "Putting out a fire is difficult, but... creating an isolation zone to prevent the fire from spreading to the ammunition depot is still possible... None of the fire brigades in the base are willing to build an isolation zone right now..."

Sean Gainey nodded: "That's right, quickly isolate the ammunition depot, we can't let it explode..."

If the ammunition depot explodes, the entire base will be destroyed!

Many people have already secretly slipped out, fearing that the ammunition depot will explode and they'll meet their maker!

Cowards, they're all cowards!

The sirens were getting closer and closer!

At the base, every gaze directed at these fire trucks was filled with anticipation.

"Brothers, it's up to you guys!"

"Brother, we're family!"

Ali Hazem honked the horn to signal, but kept his foot on the gas, and drove at full speed along the previously planned route!

Inside the command center, Sean Gaines pointed into the distance: "Aren't these fire trucks heading in a bit off direction?"

Shouldn't they go directly to the oil depot to put out the fire? Why did they head towards the tarmac?

"Are they... looking for a fire hydrant?" Alvin wasn't sure either.

"How is that possible? Can you pour water on a fuel fire? Do they even know how to put out a fire?" Sean Guy roared.

and many more!

What are those fire trucks doing?

He picked up his binoculars, looked at the fire truck again, and then... roared at the top of his lungs, "Attention, enemy attack!"

They're not here to put out the fire, they're here to start it!

At the same time, aboard the speeding fire truck, Azam shouted, "Everyone, prepare!"

Splash, splash...

One by one, the aluminum alloy covers were opened, revealing machine guns inside!

Whoosh!

Loading the shell!

Three fire trucks headed off in three different directions from the helipad!

On the first fire truck, the gunner had already spotted the first helicopter!

All black, with two seats in a tandem configuration, and weapons mounted under the short wings on both sides, this is the Apache helicopter that dominates the skies. When it flies, it is king; when it lands on the ground, it is a tiger fallen into the plains!

"Fire!" he said, pressing the trigger.

Clang! The chain snaps!

Thump, thump, thump! Flames shot out from the muzzle of the cannon!

The 25mm M792 tracer incendiary grenade flew out of the muzzle and headed toward the Apache helicopter 100 meters away!

The M242 autocannon uses a dual-feed system, typically loading armor-piercing rounds on one side and high-explosive rounds on the other, allowing the gunner to select the appropriate ammunition type as needed.

The accompanying M791 armor-piercing discarding sabot was advanced in performance, capable of penetrating 25mm thick homogeneous steel armor placed at a 30-degree angle at a distance of 1,300 meters. In the later Sino-Russian battlefield, the Bushmaster even destroyed a T-80 tank!

Currently, the best option for dealing with helicopters is generally armor-piercing rounds. After all, the Apache's fuselage armor weighs 1.1 tons, making it essentially a flying tank, and it is most vulnerable to armor-piercing rounds!

However... after the US military completely occupied Iraq, it was fighting a counterinsurgency war. There were no hard targets that required armor-piercing rounds, so the US military's ammunition belts on both sides were mainly equipped with M792 grenades!
