"Allah, I am here to answer your call. You are the only true one." The crowd in the distance got closer and closer, and the initially weak and chaotic sounds gradually merged into a torrent.
"Phew!" I breathed a sigh of relief and released my clasped finger from the trigger.
"What's wrong?" Tang Guanjie looked at my relaxed expression in confusion, still holding his M4 rifle nervously: "Is it the enemy?"
"Not yet!" I said to the butcher on the other end of the radio with a sigh of relief: "Don't fire. Those people are pilgrims."
"How do you know?" The Butcher sat in the gun carriage. The thick armor and sealing affected the transmission of music.
"They are singing the lyrics of pilgrims." I climbed on the top of the tank and looked at more and more bright spots in the night vision device: "The season of the Hajj is here, and these are the pilgrims who lived in Saudi Arabia before!"
"Are you sure?" The butcher saw only bright spots on the night vision device and could not see what the person looked like.
"Hi! Think about what my womanwife does." Halfway through the familiar words, a faint itching sensation came from the ring on my ring finger, which changed my choice of words.
"O! Everyone, don't shoot first. Continue to be alert! Keep your spirits up!" the butcher gave the order on the radio.
"If they come close and shoot, then" Tang Guanjie opened the M203 grenade launcher under his M4 multi-function handguard, loaded it, took out a G-MG 100-round drum magazine I gave him, and put it on The people around me were talking to themselves.
"It doesn't matter!" I comforted him: "Looking at the bright side, it doesn't matter even if there is a scam, because human beings' stress instinct is that their first target is on their own plane, and the second is us."
"You mean us!" The Marines below heard our conversation. One of them was unhappy.
"He meant you, idiot!" Another of the guy's companions squeaked, "He told us on purpose."
"What does he think of us? Idiots?"
"He is still a child! You should forgive him! How much knowledge can a Chinese brat have?"
"Hehe" the butcher laughed out loud online: "Damn it! Fortunately, I'm not sitting in the same car with you idiots."
The flow of people continued to move forward along the road in front of the oil refinery without stopping. Even if the cloud of war shrouded the front of the road of faith, it did not slow down the pious pace at all. The firm steps and the feeling conveyed by the hymn made me doubt the necessity of the meaning of the activity I was currently engaged in. What am I doing? for what? What is the use? ¡
"You tell me, if these people really came to attack us and there are no British reinforcements, are we really going to stick here?" Tang Guanjie asked me, turning off the walkie-talkie on his chest.
"Of course! Fight to the last man standing!"
"Can mercenaries work so hard?" What does a mercenary look like in Tang Guanjie's mind? A gangster?
"Maybe we won't get the glory of soldiers. But we have the credibility of businessmen!" After saying that, I pointed to another group of people on the road and signaled him to stop talking.
"Another batch?" The butcher looked at the bright white human figure and said impatiently: "How many people are going on pilgrimage?"
"There must be at least 2 million people entering Saudi Arabia at this time of year! Iraq is so close, who knows how many people will run over there." I also felt a headache for the crowds that kept appearing. It was impossible to tell which were civilians and which were not in this sea of ??people. Troops, what can we do?
"I hope no one will mix in with these people and fire at us. I don't want to fire at the believers, that will attract the whole Iraqi people." The butcher is a Russian who has participated in two Chechen wars. He fully understands the cohesion of faith.
"I hope!" I have no choice, sometimes things don't always develop as expected.
While everyone was worried about the small groups of pilgrims that kept appearing nearby, good news finally came over the radio. The British group finally airborne into Iraq under the cover of darkness on 30th, and they could drive over to take over from us in an hour.
However, to our surprise, the size of the troops that came to replace us far exceeded our imagination. I thought it was an infiltration mission, but the other party was probably just some light armored vehicles. But looking at the long convoy from far to near in the night, there were more than ten heavy trucks alone. Not to mention armored personnel carriers and jeeps. What did you pull? What about moving?
Avoiding the flow of people and entering the gate, the troops occupied the entire factory area. There were more than 300 soldiers who got out of the car. Although there were a large number of people, the uniform actions and strict military discipline allowed the entire defense change to be carried out quietly. When the British sniper climbed up to replaceAfter taking my job, Tang Guanjiefu, who was relieved from boredom, jumped off the oil tank happily after getting my head.
I completed the mission without any danger. In a good mood, I took out the sniper position with my gun on my shoulder, took out the small bottle in my pocket and took a sip. But before he could swallow his drink, he was so shocked by the row of soldiers he saw that it got stuck in the middle of his throat.
After the containers of the twelve scattered heavy trucks were opened, the huge searchlights revealed were already very strange. The soldiers dressed like future warriors in science fiction movies and the rifles in their hands like props were a bit ool and scary. . That thing looked like an elongated open-billed penguin. If it weren't for the trigger-shaped switch, I would have thought it was some new type of ironing board.
¡°What¡¯s that?¡± I asked the butcher next to me who had completed the handover, and got the same inexplicable answer. In the end, we had to use the video function on the sight to take a photo of the strange device in front of us and send it to the genius behind us so that he could give us an answer.
"Haha!" The genius laughed after reading the picture I sent him: "That's HSR!, the full name is "Human Pause and Stimulus Response" (esoelhaitigadstimuiatiore)
spose, "phsr") non-lethal laser rifle! "
"What?" The butcher and I were both stunned, even though we were already well-informed. But I have never heard of this thing.
"Laser wheel! Haven't you heard of it?" The genius became interested: "Have you seen the cartoon "Transformers"? Haven't you seen the beam weapons used by the robots in it?"
¡°I thought it was something from a science fiction movie!¡± Of course I¡¯ve seen such a famous animation. But there was no way to connect with the strange thing in front of him.
"No way! This thing has been around for a long time. It was tested in actual combat during the peacekeeping operations in Somalia in 1993. There were problems and it failed." The genius sent us a few pictures, and the guns on them were even more exaggerated: "Why did it happen this time? Pulled it over for you? This thing has an effective range of 300 meters. It can't kill people, it can only blind people. Toys! But the thing in the car behind it is not a toy anymore. Shen Kuajie Novel 5200. "
"Tactical high-energy laser weapon!" The genius smacked his lips and said: "This thing can destroy rockets, mortar shells, artillery shells and enemy unmanned aerial vehicles (UV) with 00 kilowatts of laser energy. Install it on an aircraft "Air-to-ground precision strike missions" can be implemented."
"I don't understand!" The butcher looked at a group of people in the distance surrounding the "searchlight" that was constantly adjusting, but didn't understand what the genius meant.
"That's a laser cannon! Now you understand!" The genius thought for a while and found a simple explanation: "It was originally designed to hit military satellites and near-Earth space stations. Now it is used to replace the Patriot."
"Has technology advanced to this point now?" I can't even imagine that things like laser wheels and laser cannons that only appear in "Star Wars" exist in reality. Even if they are presented to me now, I can't accept them.
"Who knows! I heard that these things are still in experiments. You'd better stay away from those things, maybe there's something wrong with one of the lines.
"This thing triggers "nerves" that cannot be prevented by your body armor. "Genius is not optimistic about these things at all:" In addition, these things have protective measures, so it is better not to get close to avoid harming the fish. "
"What does he mean?" Tang Guanjie, who could hear the genius's voice next to me, asked me puzzledly.
"What he means is that the military is afraid that this thing will be stolen or seized. It is equipped with a self-destruction device. It will explode!" I looked at these unimaginably advanced equipment, and I couldn't help but wonder how powerful it was. Some even hoped that if two shells were fired at this time, it would be better.
There is a Chinese saying: Good things don¡¯t work, bad things work! It really makes sense! Before I had time to dissipate this thought, I heard two soft sounds in the distance. Perhaps I was attracted too much attention by the magical equipment in front of me, but I didn¡¯t realize what the sound was after hearing the sound. When he arrived, the butcher on the side immediately shouted: "Artillery attack!"
"Boom! Boom!" Two loud noises came from behind, and the air waves blew my clothes flying. Two artillery shells landed in front of the sentry fortifications that had just been established at the gate, blowing up the piled sandbags and raising dust all over the sky.
"Damn it!" I was startled by the sudden artillery attack, and even more so that I was distracted and cursed.
I don¡¯t know when the enemy¡¯s artillery positions in the distance were deployed! Range beyond visual range guaranteed. We were unable to detect their arrival in advance. As for the determination of our coordinates, someone must have measured them when the flow of pilgrims passed by nearby.
Hiding behind a low wall, listening to the constant whistling in the air, it¡¯s so lively! All kinds ofCannonballs of different diameters rained down on the center of the factory area. The explosion filled the sky with fragments of earth and stone, and for a moment the flames screamed, and the sight was covered with mutilated limbs and corpses. fortunately. The troops had already dispersed. It would be a big deal if the convoy was hit by such a burst of shelling as soon as it entered the factory area.
"What should I do?" Tang Guanjie, whose face was covered with dust, looked out for a moment but didn't find the enemy, then he retracted his head and asked me.
"What should we do?" I pointed at the two scary laser weapons in the distance: "Don't you think of this a long time ago? We just wait and see the good show!"
I thought that this super-advanced equipment would be able to play its magical role right away and open our eyes to us country folk, but after waiting for a long time, the two trucks with searchlights were around. It was still bustling with people coming and going, and the exciting scene of flying rainbows filling the sky not only did not appear. Those devices that geniuses say are worth hundreds of millions don¡¯t even fart. Then the mortars on those armored vehicles used ballistic calculators to calculate the opponent's ballistics and then fired back.
"What's going on?" Those of us sitting in the front row waiting to watch the show were dumbfounded.
"We need time to debug!" The British colonel who had just handed over to the butcher was forced to hide next to us by the shelling. He ran over to us during the gap between the shelling and shouted: "Their watchers must be nearby. You have no way to leave for the time being.¡±
"How much time do you need?" Butcher asked, covering his helmet that was blown away by the impact cannon.
"Four or five hours!"
"" The butcher looked at me, then at the two big "searchlights" and was speechless. Four or five hours?
Baghdad was taken. Although judging from the density of artillery attacks, the opponent did not have many artillery, but it took such a long time for them to "plow" the place. Is this the efficiency of a billion-dollar device? Surely we wouldn¡¯t drive our car under someone else¡¯s gunfire for four or five hours?
Who do you think we are? God?
"We have completed the mission! This is your own responsibility!" The Butcher looked at an armored vehicle that was blown away by a shell and said: "I thought you brought something good. When you finish debugging, this place will also be ready." It¡¯s been blown up!¡±
"I have sent people to search. Their observers must be nearby, and the working range of Iraq's night vision devices is less than a kilometer." The British colonel said with certainty: "You can leave then!"
"I hope so!" Since he couldn't reach the enemy's artillery anyway, the Butcher simply sat cross-legged in the foxhole with his gun in his arms and took a nap.
After some bombardment, the British army, with its advanced equipment, dealt a certain blow to the enemy's artillery, which can be felt from the sparse explosions. But the fight continued until dawn, and the British could not find the opponent's waiting hand. The bombardment did not stop. The most annoying thing was the two laser cannons. One was damaged and the heat dissipation equipment could not work, and the other was still being debugged
When daylight came, the expensive weapon was finally debugged. But the Iraqi army also stopped its artillery attacks, and the billions of equipment only had time to burn down the last mortar shell worth a few hundred dollars. We looked at the embarrassed expressions on the faces of the engineers who came with the team and the angry looks on the British soldiers. It was really funny!
Counting the number of people, the British army lost seventeen soldiers in this round of shelling. And four of the US troops who came with us didn't have time to jump out of their Humvees. They were sent to the gate of hell by a cannonball and a car, and among them was "Half Ear" and his accomplices who took the lead in killing Tang Tang. Seeing Tang Guanjie standing in a daze in front of the charred car wreckage, I thought he was unwilling to avenge his sister with his own hands, so I walked over to comfort him. In the end, this kid said quietly first: "I should be unwilling to not deal with them personally, but seeing them like this"
"" I stood next to him and looked at the half of the spine that was burned in the car, and I didn't know what to say. In the end, I could only pretend to be humorous and said: "They were lucky enough to become heroes! You are lucky, too." Traitor! At least your sister should be happy. You didn't even hit a ghost in the battle. You can still go to heaven"
"Ghoul!" The butcher suddenly shouted my nickname from a distance.
"What's wrong?"
"Something's happened!" The butcher's face was extremely ugly: "We are in trouble! Big trouble!"
