Chapter 581 Encirclement
That night, in northern Sudan and southern Egypt, everyone who looked up at the sky noticed the three unidentified luminous objects that streaked across the sky like meteors.
After flying hundreds of kilometers, the three luminous objects fell in Egypt, accurately landing in the Aswan Air Force Base.
At the same time, more than 12 Conqueror missiles launched from Homs destroyed the temporary air base in Gilis in a nearly saturation bombing manner, and the defense and interception system failed completely. The Turkish residents in Gilis witnessed this horrific scene like a punishment from heaven.
This is the most important turning point in this war.
Although, in the first-time news report, there was only a short sentence.
"Syrian government forces used ballistic missiles to attack Turkish military bases."
"Extremist armed forces in northern Sudan used unidentified models of rockets to attack Egyptian air bases."
However, when the news was released, the eyes of the world would inevitably be drawn back to this battlefield that had "lost its interest".
——
However, Chen Chen had no time to consider these things now.
The position of the convoy had been exposed, and the escort personnel of the signal flag had suffered heavy casualties and were trying to escape.
What's worse is that they have been surrounded by the Sudanese quick reaction force coming from the ferry.
"Do you want to save them?"
Li Bang asked.
At this time, the signal flag team had already started the first round of fire with the enemy who came at high speed in the vehicle. Their heavy equipment was basically left on the vehicle, and the vehicle had long been destroyed by two rounds of ground attacks by the fighter.
The situation was very critical. The signal flag team could only rely on the light weapons they carried with them to fight the enemy, but under the suppression of the enemy's heavy machine guns and rockets, the signal flag team of only 12 people even had great difficulty in maintaining the basic formation stability.
And there was at least one heavy machine gun on the pickup truck of the Dongfeng Corps.
"How many heavy machine gun bullets do we have?"
Chen Chen asked.
"600 rounds, and I have a 12-round grenade."
Li Bang answered immediately.
"We have to rescue them, or at least get them out of the encirclement."
"It is certain that the enemy is Sudan's rapid reaction force, and they are not completely in the same system as the government army."
"This should be a military coup against Bashir, and something must have happened in the capital."
"But now Bashir's authority is still strong, and the rebellion will be quickly quelled."
"It is impossible for them to get further support. As long as they get out of the encirclement, they will be safe."
"Everyone, get ready for battle."
"After approaching the combat area, Li Bang and Pingchuan will drive the pickup truck and use their mobility advantage to destroy the enemy's light vehicles."
"Lin He, follow me, find the enemy's weak points, and guide the signal flag to break through."
"Understood!"
At the command, the four people immediately took action.
Chen Chen smashed the front windshield of the pickup truck with two shots, and then he and Li Bang quickly removed the glass completely.
The purpose of doing this is very simple, which is to maximize the role of the night vision equipment held by the four people.
As long as the windshield is removed, the thermal signal will not be blocked by the windshield, and the advantages of the thermal fusion night vision device can be maximized.
They were nearly 1 km away from the signal flag battle area. The pickup truck rushed all the way, detoured hundreds of meters and inserted directly into the rear of the Sudanese quick reaction force.
Pingchuan, who was operating the heavy machine gun, immediately opened fire, while Chen Chen used Li Bang's RG-6 rotary grenade launcher to start "bombing" the small-scale infantry cluster of the quick reaction force from the rear.
The tongue of fire spewing from the muzzle was the only signal of their exposure. The quick reaction force soldiers swept by the machine gun did not even know where the bullets came from.
The night provided excellent cover for the four-man team. When all the lights were pointed at the signal flag team in front, they were like ghosts mixed in the darkness, slaughtering the targets in front of them unscrupulously.
"Shoot! Shoot! Pay attention to saving ammunition!"
"Understood!"
Pingchuan responded immediately, but he did not slow down the speed of pulling the trigger.
Right in front of him, a pickup truck carrying the most common 107 rocket in Africa was launching, and the flames had already ignited from the launcher, but at the moment the rocket was launched, Pingchuan's bullet just penetrated the launcher.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion sounded, and the rocket that had not yet flown exploded in the chamber.
Then, a martyrdom occurred, and the rocket pickup truck and the team that had been deployed next to it and was responsible for transporting ammunition were completely destroyed.
At this moment, the quick reaction force finally discovered the abnormality in the rear.
——
Of course, even if their combat quality was low, if they had not discovered it at this level, it would be really stupid.
After all, three vehicles had been destroyed, and the originally airtight encirclement had been torn open!
A 6-wheeled armored vehicle began to turn around, and Chen Chen recognized it at a glance. It was a BTR-60 armored transport vehicle.
This thing is considered a star equipment in Sudan - of course not because of its strong combat effectiveness, but because, starting from 2011 and for more than a decade afterwards, this thing was the first to appear in every civil war in Sudan!
It has almost become a must-have equipment for the rapid reaction force to fire the first shot.
To be honest, if Chen Chen were the president of Sudan, he might have to order all such unlucky equipment to be eliminated.
But now, elimination is impossible, we can only find ways to destroy it.
"Are there any bazookas?! Are there any bazookas?!"
Chen Chen asked loudly.
"Without a rocket launcher, can a heavy machine gun penetrate it?"
"If you can't shoot through, don't waste bullets."
"You and Pingchuan continue to circle, let us down, we have to hand over a rocket launcher!"
"clear!"
The pickup truck suddenly swerved to a stop. Chen Chen and Lin He jumped down and quickly rushed toward the rapid reaction force position a hundred meters away.
There, the rocket pickup truck destroyed by Hirakawa was burning. Several soldiers from the rapid reaction force rushed towards the burning pickup truck, seemingly trying to grab a few unexploded rockets from nearby.
The scene was chaotic, and Chen and Chen approached quietly.
With just a few short bursts of fire, all six enemies fell.
The advantage of the field of vision has been magnified to an almost overwhelming degree. The rapid reaction force with more than 200 people and more than ten armed vehicles has not even found the specific location of the Dongfeng Corps team until now.
"Damn it, how come these people are better than the Pubei people?!"
Lin He couldn't help but complain while taking the rocket in Chen Chen's hand, while Chen Chen took a few breaths and replied:
"You really think that we are not Pubei people? It is impossible for the quick reaction force to be useless, but this force should not be the core team."
"Their elites should be besieging Khartoum now. There is a high probability that the mercenaries here have changed careers."
"Mercenary changing jobs? What do you mean?"
"Mercenaries exported from Sudan to Saudi Arabia join the rapid reaction force after recovering from injuries or illness."
Chen Chen quickly dug a hole in the ground and continued to answer:
"Most of these people are soldiers. They don't have strong fighting ability, but they have rich battlefield experience."
"Didn't you see that the signal flag side fought for so long without causing many casualties? This is the style of the Sudanese mercenaries."
"It doesn't matter whether the enemy dies or not, you must not die."
"If it weren't for our sneak attack, they might have continued the stalemate until the signal flag ran out of ammunition."
The dust was flying, and the sand pit dug by Chen Chen had taken shape.
Lin He quickly put the 107 Fire on the sand pit, and then carefully adjusted the position and aimed while saying to Li Gang who was still pulling:
"Bang Li, contain the armored vehicle and make it stop!"
"received!"
"Hurry up, we are under great pressure!"
"Keep firing! The regiment leader said that the enemy on the opposite side did not dare to fight back!"
"I didn't. Forget it, I mean, Pingchuan, suppress fire at any cost!"
"received!"
The trajectory of the heavy machine gun that was not filled with incendiary and tracer bullets was completely invisible in the dark, and the fire on the BTR-60 armor was as weird as coming out of thin air.
The intensive strikes made the armored vehicle driver subconsciously want to reverse the vehicle, and at this time, Lin He had already completed the aiming of the rocket.
The distance is less than 200 meters. In theory, even a firework can hit it.
"ignition!"
"clear!"
The micro ignition rod burst out with a blazing flame, igniting the flake gunpowder that Lin He had removed from the bullet in advance.
Immediately afterwards, the primer of the rocket was ignited and flew straight towards the armored vehicle in the distance.
Passed by.
"Second shot ignition!"
"puff--"
The rocket flew out again, and this time, it hit the target accurately.
"boom!"
A violent explosion sounded, and the armored vehicle was blown to pieces in an instant.
"The passage has been opened! Notify the signal flag to evacuate in my direction!"
"receive!"
On the radio, the Li Gang began to call the signal flag team. After a while, the gunfire in the center of the battlefield suddenly became intensive.
After several vehicles were destroyed, a huge gap was opened in the rapid reaction force's encirclement, and the members of the signal flag relied on precise and ferocious firepower to quickly break through in the direction of Chen Chen.
"Clean up the remaining enemies in the rear and stop them in front!"
"clear!"
Ten seconds later, the four-person group reunited again.
The machine gun pickup truck that had run out of bullets had been abandoned by the Li Gang, and Chen Chen also fired all the grenades in his hand.
The sudden intensive firepower shocked the enemies of the quick reaction force. In this narrow window, the members of the signal flag rushed out.
The two groups of people quickly merged without any pause. Chen Chen led everyone to quickly evacuate, trying to merge into the darkness again.
At this time, it is impossible for the quick reaction force to have air support. As long as they are out of their pursuit, everyone will be safe.
"where are we going?"
The signal flag leader asked in slightly broken English.
"According to the original plan, evacuate southward along the Nile River!"
"The government troops will definitely move north along the river to eliminate the rebels, and we have to join them!"
"clear!"
The "broken troops" of 16 people retreated quickly. At this time, they were less than 600 meters away from the Nile River.
However, they could not go directly to the ferry because no one knew whether there were enemy quick reaction forces stationed there.
They had no choice but to go south first, and the lack of vehicles became their biggest shortcoming.
The quick reaction force in the rear had reorganized its formation. Just as Chen Chen expected, after seeing the super combat power of this team, they chose a more conservative tactic.
Then, they used long-range indirect fire weapons to attack continuously, but they resolutely did not approach within a range of 200 meters, and resolutely did not give the team a chance to shoot!
A battle turned into a reverse kite flying, 107 fire continued to fall in the direction of the team's movement, and RPG almost never stopped.
The most exaggerated thing is that the veteran of this quick reaction team actually used a rocket launcher for indirect fire.
It really brought out Lao Liu's temperament to the extreme.
Chen Chen kept moving, he knew that in the current situation, everything could only depend on luck.
What S-shaped movement, what alternating cover, is completely nonsense.
Various evacuation tactics are only aimed at the situation where the two sides have similar speeds, and now, the Dongfeng Corps is not as mobile as the quick reaction force chasing in the rear!
The game of cat and mouse has begun.
When the mouse is exhausted, the cat wins.
Their only chance is to run to the Nile River in advance and get rid of the enemy by swimming.
Chen Chen was breathing rapidly, and he felt that his lungs were about to explode.
At this moment, a rocket fell from the sky and hit him less than 60 meters in front of him.
"Boom!"
Chen Chen watched a figure fly up, it was a member of the signal flag.
"Set up, go!"
Chen Chen ordered loudly, but the man on the ground struggled to turn over, seemed to want to sit up, but finally fell down.
"Lin He, go up and help!"
"Got it!"
Lin He, who had the best physical strength, had rushed forward, but someone was faster than him.
The leader of the signal flag rushed to his side, raised his hand in front of his teammates on the ground, and pointed to his forehead.
Without any pause, the leader raised his gun and pulled the trigger.
The team member's head was pierced by the bullet and fell heavily on the ground.
From the explosion to the shooting, the total time was no more than 15 seconds.
And it was in this very short time that the leader of the signal flag made the decision to send his team members on their last journey.
This could not be a sudden decision. Perhaps, this is their survival rule on the battlefield.
The footsteps of the crowd did not stop because of this. Chen Chen had already seen the river bank in the distance and the quick reaction force vehicles that arrived in advance on the river bank.
It was impossible to get through.
"Damn!"
Chen Chen cursed angrily and turned to continue south along the river bank.
His only hope now is support from the government army.
But the question is, how long will it take them to arrive?
This thought flashed through Chen Chen's mind, and almost at the same time, a huge noise of a fighter jet flying at low altitude came from his head.
Gust?
Chen Chen subconsciously stopped.
No.
It was the strong five.
The five masters, flying almost close to the ground, dropped two heavy bombs on the banks of the Nile River. They lacked truly effective means of attacking infantry, and were using this method to declare their presence.
One of the bombs fell into the Nile River. After the dull explosion, the stirred-up river water created a localized shower.
His dry and cracked lips were moistened by the rain. Chen Chen turned his head and looked at the quick reaction force that had stopped chasing in the distance.
He knew that the battle in the capital was over.
This coup that was doomed to fail should have come to an end.
Alive.
But what about Nighthawk?
