"Captain Dragon," Lieutenant Jack panted and ran to Long Yun's side, "I need your help." ” "What's wrong" Long Yun looked at Jack, who was sweating profusely, and said, "It doesn't look like a good thing. ” "Our left flank positions are under heavy attack from the Taliban, and I need elite forces to help me withstand the attack on the left flank, so that we can concentrate our fire on the T9O tanks in the center."
The left flank position is now the commanding height of the defensive line, the only hillside that can be used, and the placement of fire points there can best support the defensive operations of the terminal building, which is the last remaining position of the three Abrams 1A1 tanks.
Lieutenant Jack placed all three Abrams tanks on the slope of the hillside, dug a tank pit, and drove the tank into it, which is generally called a fixed firing point for tanks in military terms, and the advantage is that the bunker can cover the tank's relatively fragile chassis and fragile armor, leaving only a position above the turret for defensive shooting, which is not easy to penetrate by enemy anti-tank weapons.
This method of warfare is an extremely conservative defensive tactic, and it is generally used when the enemy is strong and we are weak, and it is only used when we have to retreat into the defense.
After all, after World War II, all local wars in which the United States participated were overwhelming, and after a strong air supremacy swept through the enemy's defensive positions, tanks and infantry went up to replenish their guns. was forced to do this, Long Yun felt that it was really not easy for Jack.
"Captain Long, my left flank needs elite fighters to help me hold the defensive line, you and your delta team are obviously the most suitable candidates, otherwise we will be surrounded if we can't hold the commanding heights of the left flank, and we will lose the only supreme high ground, and we have no other choice but to retreat."
If it didn't matter, Long Yun might refuse, but obviously now that he was tied to the fate of the 82nd Airborne Division, if the large force retreated, he would definitely have to retreat, and he could only break through the Taliban position opposite Bagram Air Base to advance towards Bamiyan City.
"Jon, what do you think" Long Yun tilted his head and looked at the Delta Commander Jon beside him, "Do your brothers want to" "Of course we do, we have no problem, soldiers come to the battlefield to participate in the battle."
Jon said, "We all listen to you. ” "What about you" Long Yun turned his head and asked Gege, "What do you think?"
"Of course I have to follow you, otherwise you will take the opportunity to slip away, where will I go to find you" Gege still had a very unconvinced expression.
"Okay, then let's do it" Long Yun walked out and called Lena from the Tianmu Command Center on the radio: "Potato chip girl, I want a satellite picture of the facts of the high ground on the left, and send it to me immediately." ” "OK, received" Lena suddenly remembered something: "You don't wait for Neo and Hayabusa" "How long are they left?"
"Half an hour."
Lena took a look at Neo's real-time location and said, "About half an hour, if their luck is better than yours and they don't get shot down." ” "Let them not fly too close, the anti-aircraft missile system here is very powerful."
Long Yun said.
"No problem, they are high-altitude drops, and it is difficult for the air defense system on the ground to show them."
Lena looked at me completely, "I'll switch the communication channel to Neo's channel, you can communicate directly." ” When it comes to Neo, Long Yun really doesn't want to deal with this noble son from Europe, not to mention that what the Butler of Ross did made Long Yun have a great estrangement from the headquarters of the Council of Elders, and it can be seen from the previous contact that those pure-blooded demon hunters of the Demon Hunter Knights didn't take the half-bloods of the Sky Curtain Company in their eyes at all.
"Okay, I'll contact them."
Long Yun casually perfunctory.
After replenishing the ammunition and leading the Delta Force out of the terminal building, the group walked through an open field, and the nearby Taliban seemed to show their whereabouts, and several heavy machine guns swept like crazy, making Long Yun very embarrassed, and it could be regarded as a rolling crawl to rush to the foot of the hill at the commanding heights of the left flank.
"I hate the day" Long Yun looked at the time, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, the winter Afghan sky had darkened very early, the surroundings were already gray, and the sun had already set under the mountains in the west.
Along the slope of the hill, everyone went up to the top of the hillside, because the soldiers of the Northern Alliance had been fighting the Taliban here for more than half a year, and the strong civil fortifications had already been dug on the top of the hillside.
Before he could run into the fortifications, he heard the whistling of cannonballs.
"Shelling" "Covert" There was a sudden chaos on the top of the hillside, Long Yun pulled Gege, and the two of them almost crawled into a large foxhole, curled up as much as possible to reduce the size, like two big shrimp cats at the bottom of the pit.
The Taliban's artillery fire is terrifying, and whether you are a Moria or an Atlantean, you don't want to live if you are hit by a shell.
Hiding at the bottom of the pit, Long Yun felt that the whole sky was dark, the black smoke and the explosion of the earth blocks on the position blocked the last ray of light in the sky, the ground was trembling, and the shock wave and high-decibel sound wave of the explosion shook people's hearts as if they were about to jump out of their throats.
"God-damn rocket artillery" Long Yun couldn't help but scold at the bottom of the pit and vent his emotions.
Soon, the explosion victory began to mix screams and wails, Long Yun ventured out half of his head, and saw a soldier of the 82nd Airborne Division of the US Army who had no time to hide was lying more than three meters away from his foxhole, his body was covered in blood and flesh, and his left foot was all cut by shrapnel from the knee down, and the blood kept gushing out like a bottle of champagne with an open cap.
Long Yun gritted his teeth, trying to climb out and pull him back, but as soon as he got out of the foxhole, a cannonball landed outside the meter. rumble The massive shockwave shook the dragon cloud off the ground and fell on its back back into its own foxhole.
Long Yun felt that the heavens and the earth were spinning, and there was a spicy feeling behind him, which was extremely painful, and his two ears were like being stuffed into a big bronze bell, and he slapped a hammer with a fierce pestle, all of which were buzzing.
In the confusion, Gege's beautiful face appeared in sight, and a pair of silky hands grabbed his shoulders and shook them continuously.
"Long Yun, how are you, are you okay?"
"I'm fine" Long Yun held back the nausea after his internal organs were shaken, and barely squeezed out a sentence.
It took a while for the dizziness and nausea to disappear, the rocket bombardment continued, and Long Yun could even hear the entire hillside screaming.
The wounded soldier kept screaming.
"Help me, help me, help me, who's going to help me" No one can help him, Long Yun knows very well that under this kind of high-intensity shelling, no one dares to risk running out of the foxhole, even if he hides in the foxhole, he can only pray to God not to be unlucky, the cannonball that does not have long eyes will fall right in the pit, blowing himself to the bones
