Chapter 212 Blocking Tactics
"You're right." Milburn struggled for a moment, looked at the drug dealers who were resisting at the foot of the hillside, and finally figured it out, "Attention everyone, the machine gun team is covering, and everyone is preparing to retreat!"
"yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, under the suppression of the machine guns of the armed pickup trucks, the members of the two combat groups A and B began to retreat in batches.
Gu Ji picked up the telescope.
I saw Huang Mao and the drug trafficker leader Aleman, gritting their teeth and forcing a counterattack.
This is enough to prove that Aleman must have called his men to come for support, otherwise they would not have the guts to continue chasing the police.
"Hurry up! Everyone get in the car right now!"
"Reyes, you go in front to lead the way, then the HVT, and the Humvee armored vehicle comes behind!"
Milburn fought and retreated, quickly formulating retreat tactics.
Several colleagues in the combat team moved all the wounded and corpses to the back of the armed pickup truck under the cover of machine guns. Finally, they grabbed the roll cage of the armed pickup truck with one hand and pointed the muzzle backward to provide warning.
Luz urged his men and saw that Gu Ji did not choose to follow the others into the car, but stopped in front of an armed pickup truck abandoned by a drug dealer.
"Old Yasen, come here quickly, what are you doing!"
"Be prepared!" Gu Ji didn't have time to explain, he opened the door, pulled the body of the drug dealer driver out, smashed the blood-spattered windshield with the butt of his rifle, and then turned the key to ignite the car.
Lutz still couldn't figure out why he did this.
Even if there are two less police cars, the remaining combat police officers can still squeeze into the back of the pickup truck, or simply enter the purple bus to protect flight passengers.
The only useful thing on the armed pickup truck may be the M249 squad machine gun on the rear bucket. The key is that there is no machine gunner.
But he didn't argue with Gu Ji. After all, through the battle just now, Gu Ji had proven his tactical strength.
When the HVT bus completed its U-turn, the police cars started to follow, and the white pickup truck driven by Gu Ji was located at the second to last position in the convoy, right next to the Hummer M1152 light armored vehicle at the end.
The gunshots from the drug dealers never stopped.
After the convoy began to evacuate, they immediately caught up from the hillside. The Ford F550 homemade armored vehicle at the head was like a steel beast, crushing the bushes and weeds along the way. The M2 heavy machine gun at the rear of the car was spitting flames, and bullets were crackling on the convoy. around.
Two of the rounds landed on the Humvee's rear bucket armor and instantly penetrated the 20mm bulletproof steel plate.
Milburn shouted on the team channel: "Damn! Get this son of a bitch out of the machine gunner! Otherwise we will all die here!"
In an instant, all the firepower of the convoy was poured into the drug traffickers' armored vehicles.
The bullet landed on the front bulletproof shield of the M2 heavy machine gun, making dents one after another. Finally, Barrett shot him. The drug dealer's head exploded on the spot, like a watermelon that fell from an 18-story building.
Without the fire suppression of the M2 heavy machine gun, the danger level of the convoy was immediately reduced a lot.
Gu Ji could hear gunshots, screams, and drug dealers yelling in Spanish from outside the car.
But at this moment, he no longer had the energy to care about the battle situation outside. He held the steering wheel with one hand to drive, and opened his phone with the other hand to carefully browse the nearby satellite terrain map.
The two sides went back and forth like this, fighting in the jungle for more than 20 minutes.
Finally reaching the grassland from the mountains and forests, the convoy began to accelerate eastward, preparing to enter the state highway and return to Torreon.
But at this moment.
A signal came from the front of the motorcade: "Captain! There is a situation on the state highway!"
Gu Ji raised his head, followed the empty front windshield, and saw a cloud of earth-yellow smoke rising from the state highway border in the distance. A huge black truck rolled out. The front of the truck was covered with steel plates and sharp steel battering rams. There is even a rotating turret on the top of the carriage!
"Fak! I won't be frightened into hallucinating. Who can tell me, is that a fucking tank?!" Riddle exclaimed in fright on the intercom.
"Damn it! It's a homemade tank made by a drug dealer!" Luz cursed.
"Really a tank?"
There were commotions among the passengers on the purple bus.
It is said to be a tank, but it is actually just a three-axle truck bed modified and equipped with a heavy armor cabin. The thick bulletproof steel plate can withstand the firepower of caliber 50 weapons and grenade explosions. A grenade launcher and a large-caliber sniper are installed inside. guns, heavy machine guns and other weapons.
"It must be the support of the Sinaloa drug cartel! Captain, what should we do now?"
"There are too many drug dealers. It looks like there are twenty or thirty vehicles, at least hundreds of people! Captain, when will our support arrive!"
"Damn! It will take 40 minutes at the earliest." Milburn gritted his teeth.
At the moment, "there are wolves in front of them and tigers behind them." They are caught in the middle and helpless. When the official U.S.-Mexico joint forces arrive at the scene, they will probably only see corpses on the ground.
"Captain, we can go back to the mountains and forests!"
"Go back to the mountains and forests?"
Just when Milburn was anxiously requesting reinforcements from the nearby police station from the command center, Gu Ji's deep and experienced voice suddenly came from the tactical earphones.
"Yes! It is already very difficult for civilian trucks to withstand heavy armor. It is not easy to operate on urban roads or soft ground, let alone complex mountain and forest terrain. As long as we can get rid of it, we can find a way to set up jams in the jungle to intercept and block the attack. Drug dealers, wait until backup arrives!”
"Old Yasen is right! With our current firepower, we can't break through the armor of the earthen tanks. Fighting in the open will be a big loss!" Lutz said anxiously.
Milburn still hesitated: "We can't run too fast in the jungle with the bus. We still have to be caught up by drug dealers!"
"That's why we set up an interceptor. The pickup truck I snatched had military C4 explosives in the back."
"Can you explode?"
"meeting."
"Set card location."
"At 13 degrees west-north, about 800 meters away, there is a dirt road sandwiched between two hills. We can go there to set up interception cards and use ambush tactics to block and delay!"
The two of them were talking back and forth so fast that all the police officers were slightly startled.
Only then did Lutz understand what the phrase "be prepared for any danger" meant.
It turns out that Old Yasen had been prepared to be outflanked by drug traffickers for a long time. He even searched for terrain maps in advance and determined the counterattack points and tactics. To describe it in Xia Guo's dialect, it was simply "foresight"!
For Gu Ji, after learning the lessons of India’s flood checkpoints, he fully understood the importance of looking at the overall situation.
This is also an essential quality for a commander.
Gu Ji's decisive tone of answer made Milburn finally make up his mind.
His eyes looked at the dust and smoke raised by the drug traffickers' convoy in the distance. The orange-red reflection in the dusk converged on the cold muzzle of the G36 rifle.
"Everyone, turn around and head west, to the mountains and forests!"
"yes!"
…
In less than ten minutes, the convoy arrived near the location mentioned by Gu Ji.
A curved dirt road with hillsides on both sides and dense woods.
Gu Ji searched for a long time on the satellite map. This is the only location where there are high and low levels and crossfire. Once the card is successfully set up, it will be difficult for drug dealers to break through.
"Captain Milburn, I need a group of people to guard the gorge of the eastbound dirt road and hold off the drug dealers for me. The combat team is ambushing on the hillside of the dirt road and is responsible for flanking attacks. The fire team and sniper team are guarding the corners of the dirt road and are responsible for For the main attack, I will set up roadblocks on the dirt road below the combat group, and the HVT will retreat to the mouth of another northbound dirt road to wait. Once the battle fails, we can retreat at any time."
"Is this an L-shaped tactic? Yes, it is most appropriate to use here..."
Milburn looked back at the terrain and couldn't help but admire it.
L-shaped tactics are one type of ambush tactics. Compared with straight-line and V-shaped tactics, they can maximize the use of firepower advantages and form cross-fire without interfering with each other.
Gu Ji cleverly restructured his combat groups into three: early warning group, assault group and fire support group.
When a convoy of drug traffickers pursues them from a dirt road, they will first be seen by the security team, providing an early warning to the team.
At this time, they can carry out precise blasting and interception. Once the drug dealer chooses to attack and counterattack, in addition to facing the firepower of the assault team from the side of the hillside, they will also have to face the heavy firepower of the support team directly in front. At this time, the security team can be responsible for The drug dealers were cordoned off to prevent them from escaping.
Almost completely blocking all the enemy's escape routes.
Although this is a subject that needs to be learned for military units to fight, it is very difficult to use it well, especially in this urgent crisis environment. Ordinary people have no time to react, but Gu Jicong discovered explosives, determined ideas, and searched for terrain. , deploy and control the firepower points in one go, and even complete the blasting in person.
It's incredible.
This man is definitely no ordinary airborne soldier!
Just as the police officers were distributed at various points according to the instructions of the supervisor, he himself drove the drug dealer's armed pickup truck to the interception point and glanced at the tree trunks on the hillsides on both sides.
He planned to use Mexican cypress trunks and armed pickup trucks to form a large roadblock by blasting to intercept the drug traffickers' convoy.
Mexican cypress trees are large trees that can grow up to 30 meters tall, enough to crush ordinary vehicles. Without special working tools, it is difficult to push them away for a while.
This method sounds simple, but is actually very difficult to operate.
Because we need to consider a reasonable blasting method, a reasonable amount of explosives, and ensure that the trees fall to a specific position at the same time after blasting, this requires professional blasting knowledge, and it is not enough to just put some TNT detonators casually.
It just so happens that blasting is one of Gu Ji's strengths.
After many rounds of actual combat at various levels, he has become extremely proficient in using the USMC blasting methodology.
"Report! The drug dealers are approaching! One of our party is injured and can't bear it anymore!"
"Let them in!"
After receiving the prompt from the security team Lutz, Gu Ji squinted his eyes, took out the [Poison Needle Trap] from his backpack, quickly climbed up the hillside, placed the mine under a bush halfway, and then met Milburn where Police officers from the commando team gathered.
As soon as the front foot left, a convoy of drug traffickers rushed in on the back foot.
The leading Ford Raptor armored vehicle showed no intention of slowing down, and seemed to be trying to knock Gu Ji's pickup truck directly away from the center of the dirt road.
The moment the convoy approached the pickup truck blocking the road, he pressed the C4 detonation button without hesitation.
"Boom! Boom!"
In an instant, explosions rang out one after another, and even the prepared policemen were startled. Three huge Mexican cypress trees broke at the same time and hit the drug traffickers' convoy down the hillside. With a "bang", one of the trees broke. The tree trunk hit the front of the Ford Raptor armored vehicle and even made a deep hole in the bulletproof steel plate.
The remaining two tree trunks were pressed against the center of the dirt road, kicking up billows of dust and completely blocking the road.
Everyone was still stunned at how Gu Ji could control the tree trunk to hit the motorcade with such precision.
The next second, his voice rang in the ears of all the police officers:
"Fire!!"
The gunfire was one step faster than the shout.
"Da da da da..."
"boom--!"
Everyone didn't even realize that the person in charge was Gu Ji, and they subconsciously fired down the hillside at the same time. A large number of bullets hit the center of the drug traffickers' convoy. Many machine gunners behind the pickup trucks were beaten to death without even having time to turn their guns. A hornet's nest.
"Damn it! Kill these policemen for me! Leave no one behind!"
In the armored vehicle, Aleman shouted angrily in Spanish.
The drug dealers who reacted immediately began to fight back violently, and an RPG hit the hillside.
Four or five armed pickup trucks took the opportunity to drive down the hillside. The doors were opened, and seventeen or eighteen drug dealers wearing body armor and holding AR rifles took turns to cover, trying to first eliminate the assault team located on the side hillside.
Upon seeing this, Milburn quickly called for fire support.
"Fire team! Fire team! Stop them!"
"We are trying to find ways to contain the enemy's heavy firepower!"
After all, there are more than a hundred drug dealers, and the fire support team is also overwhelmed.
Just when Mil thought this blocking operation was about to fail, there was a sudden "bang" at the bottom of the hillside, and then the group of drug dealers covered their faces and screamed as if they were possessed.
"Is there such a good thing?" Mil thought that Gu Ji had set a booby trap on the road, so he fired decisively, killing the drug dealers who were hit by the [Poison Needle Trap] one by one.
After blocking the first wave of attacks, the police officers became more confident.
It is hard to imagine that a group of about thirty armed police officers could actually briefly intercept a drug dealer numbering hundreds of people and carrying heavy firepower.
It can continue to advance over time.
The ammunition carried by the National Guard was gradually exhausted. There were no low-velocity grenades left, all the grenades were thrown away, and even the rifles in their hands had only one magazine left.
"Damn it! Why haven't we received support yet! How long are we going to fight!"
"Yeah, the command center isn't going to give up on us, is it?"
"Report to the captain! There is another armed convoy approaching quickly behind the dirt road. It seems to be the support of drug dealers!"
"What!?"
This sentence seemed to be the straw that broke the camel's back, instantly breaking the psychological defenses of many police officers.
The drug trafficker leader Aleman took a loudspeaker and hid under the hillside and shouted:
"Listen, I give you one last chance to lay down your weapons and surrender, and hand over the passengers of flight AM649. Maybe I can consider not killing you. Otherwise, not only will you all die here today, but your family members will also die together. Buried with him!!"
