He raised his head and glanced at the flares in the northern sky that were being continuously launched into the sky and getting closer and closer to Death Valley.
The owner of a barbecue restaurant in the modern dimension and the first engineer of the Zhongzhou team, Python.
He speeded up his hands, and while desperately stuffing TNT explosives into a natural stone crevice, he shouted loudly to his engineering team:
"Come on! Everyone, move faster. The explosives must be installed before the Johns arrive; you can't let them see it, otherwise you will be safely attacked.
In addition, the commander behind the scenes asked you to be careful when wiring the wires, and don't let the wires be cut by the stone wall again; install two wires for me this time, I don't want to be like a sand sculpture, wiring under gunfire~"
Yes, that's right!
Because the terrain this time is quite good, the Zhongzhou team prepared the same way as they did in the previous mission, the Sansuoli Blockade.
A large number of explosives were installed on the stone walls beside the road.
After the Royal Heavy Tank Battalion arrived at the foot of the stone wall, someone detonated it and buried at least half of their Centurion tanks on the spot.
So the first time he arrived at Death Valley, Hu Biao discussed with the Second Company Commander and asked for instructions.
The engineering team of the Central Continent Team has been busy working on this arrangement.
As for the engineering team of the Central Continent Team, it is in order to better integrate the combat effectiveness of the team as the system tasks continue to progress.
Just like the formation of an assault team like the Paw Paw Team, after the last mission, another engineering team was formed.
The specific composition of this engineer team that has just been launched.
It is Mang, the first engineer of the team, who serves as the squad leader, and its members include behind-the-scenes commanders such as Dichlorvos and Fat Chicken. In total, the entire engineer team has a total of 4 people.
Such a staff composition makes some sense.
Among them, Dichlorvos originally knew how to make explosives due to his profession; now, after intensive study, his level is already quite good.
As for the fat chicken, does this guy claim to be a bit of a pervert and likes to blow up things? What a big deal! Join the glorious Sentai Engineer Team and let him blow up all he wants from now on.
As for the commander behind the scenes, because he happened to be a fellow villager of Python, he was forcibly pulled in by the owner of the barbecue restaurant.
"I know, don't worry~" After hearing this, the commander behind the scenes responded like this.
Then, holding a bundle of wires, he quickly got busy with several other people from the engineering team.
Because the Royal Heavy Tank Battalion was about to arrive, once those people saw what they were doing, the current arrangement would probably have no effect.
Therefore, during the busy work, everyone in the engineering team was a little too anxious. Under the current temperature of more than 30 degrees below zero, they were actually sweating on their foreheads.
Soon after, several boxes of TNT explosives were stuffed into the cracks in the rocks by several people from the engineering team, and they began to busy wiring and installing detonators.
That one was filled with TNT, as if explosives were free of charge.
But speaking of it, these things are indeed free; because they are a batch of materials donated by the modern plane rabbit family.
Qingshan also told Hu Biao at that time, feel free to use it and get as much as you want.
Therefore, the only problem that limits the Zhongzhou team's use of these explosives is that the amount of space equipment is limited. Each time everyone disperses, they can only carry three to five hundred kilograms.
If there are more, you won’t be able to bring other things.
At the same time, other members of the Central Continent team were also busy preparing to give some powerful gifts to the famous Royal Heavy Tank Battalion later.
As that famous saying goes:
Despise the enemy strategically and take the enemy seriously tactically.
Although Hu Biao and the others were more confident than ever before in the first phase of this mission because of the huge convenience brought by the layout of the previous mission.
But in the limited time before the war started, they still made as much preparation as possible.
For example, Mad Dog, Husky, Hanshuang and three other people are currently wielding military shovels, fighting against the frozen and hard ground.
They planned to dig holes on both sides of the road and hide like they did last time.
After waiting for Hu Biao's notice, he immediately got out of the hole and gave it to the Royal Heavy Tank Battalion to get a good fight.
The only thing that was slightly different from the last time was that this time the three of them carried a Type 51 rocket launcher, which was the kind that the Rabbit family copied from the Super Bazooka.
Instead of the last one, it was a large explosive bag weighing 10 kilograms.
The main reason is that the 10-kilogram explosive pack is too powerful. If you are not careful, you may also be tormented to death.
Hu Biao, Po Luo, Han Zi, Zhui Feng, Xu Feng and others were also wielding engineering shovels.
But what they did was not to dig a hole and hide in it.
Instead, they are urgently laying some anti-tank mines brought from the modern dimension; the specific models of these mines are the TM-46 anti-tank mines that Mao Zi's family had after World War II.
The TM-46 mine contains 5.3 kilograms of explosives. This time Hu Biao and the others brought a total of 30 mines.
In order not to let go of a single tank, Hu Biao ordered 30 anti-tank mines to be buried together, a posture that would make it difficult for him to live in the future.
Although they are not professional engineers, after fighting so many battles.
Some mine laying or simple demining techniques have been mastered for a long time; so the act of burying them is quite agile.
In addition, the warehouse manager, wearing a white cloak as a camouflage, was looking for a suitable sniper position, while Original Sin, Lao Hei and others were setting up heavy machine gun positions.
The heavy machine guns they set up were all Maozi's famous DK Deshka heavy machine guns that could shoot twice at high altitude.
This is also an anti-aircraft weapon that they can effectively carry under the current situation.
For example, small-caliber anti-aircraft guns are too large in size; even if they are brought over, they cannot carry other supplies and can only leave them at that.
Even Amu brought a technician with him, and the two of them found a place to set up the 'Demon-Destroying Gun'.
The remaining members of the team also took out Type 51 rocket launchers and explosive packs at this moment, and hid themselves everywhere in preparation for the battle.
Even the other volunteer soldiers, after seeing the scene in front of them, became energetic and started working together.
In short, at this moment, hundreds of people on the battlefield were in action, and no one stopped.
Finally, when the sound of the roaring engines from the north position could be heard clearly, it reached my ears.
Hu Biao, who had just laid the last anti-tank mine, was pointing in the direction of the engineering team, his legs were slightly lame and he yelled:
"Damn lame, have you got it all done now? The Royal Heavy Tank Battalion is coming soon."
"What a coincidence, we just got it done~" the python replied quickly, without any hint of anger in his tone because of the nickname "Dead Cripple".
There was no way! Mainly because after a long time, he knew what the members of the team were like.
I can’t say that they are all, but a considerable part of them are those with bad taste; they are those with a mean mouth but a good heart.
In other words, this is their way of dealing with acquaintances.
In addition to people like them, if there is an outsider who dares to look at him and call him "die lame"? Believe it or not, I will beat the shit out of you.
After hearing the answer from the python's mouth, Hu Biao quickly shouted loudly:
"All personnel are attentive, immediately take cover, and prepare for battle."
During such a process, Hu Biao, who is currently the deputy squad leader, was a little too busy to realize one thing:
He is not Chief Hu now. With his current status and position, he is not suitable to issue such an order.
Fortunately, the Second Company Commander and even the two battalion commanders of the 446th Regiment did not show any displeasure like the commander of the Guo Army after hearing Hu Biao's very orderly shouts.
Instead, he showed a look of considerable interest and surprise.
At the same time, he called his volunteer soldiers and started to act according to Hu Biao's orders. After hiding, they were ready for battle...
*******
A minute after everyone on the Volunteer Army side in Death Valley went into hiding, the target of Hu Biao's mission finally appeared in front of them.
It was just that the opponent kept lighting up the sky, and those flares were as bright as daylight.
Hu Biao, who was hiding behind a snowdrift at that time, saw the size of his opponents clearly and immediately felt the chill that was transmitted to his body by the snow they were lying on, which was far stronger than the current one.
The cold is coming.
The reason is simple: the system has privately strengthened this royal heavy tank battalion too much.
In the original timeline, because the evacuation was too hasty, the Royal Heavy Tank Battalion was completely disconnected from the accompanying infantry.
This is also the biggest reason why during the battle, the volunteers can take advantage of the night and terrain, get close, and use explosive bags, anti-tank grenades, etc. to blow up the steel lumps one after another.
But now, there is at least one more battalion of infantry in the convoy in front of them.
They rode in many trucks, jeeps, armored vehicles, and even tanks with many people on them, achieving a completely mechanized march.
After seeing such a scene, Hu Biao was the only one who felt bad.
Even the other veterans of the Central Continent Team who were lying in wait couldn't help but frown.
After fighting many battles, they naturally know that when infantry and tanks are combined, the combat effectiveness is not a matter of one plus one equals two.
Rather, one plus one equals more.
However, this problem is not too big. The main reason is that after thinking about their various arrangements, I am not too worried about such a powerful opponent, and I think it can be solved.
On top of a stone wall, the python put his hand on the handle of the blaster, his face full of anticipation.
Because he was thinking that when thousands of tons of sand and stones poured down on the tank convoy, the expressions of the soldiers of the Royal Rifles who were sitting on the tanks at the moment would be very wonderful.
You know, this time they paid careful attention to the problem of possible cuts when wiring.
And there is also a spare wire, so the situation in the third house will definitely not happen again.
Unfortunately, soon after, Mang, the engineer team leader, showed a strong depressed expression on his face.
Because the leading Centurion heavy tank drove straight into the valley, but was about to reach the foot of the stone wall.
Just when he was about to detonate and bury half of the convoy, he suddenly stopped.
Then, more than a hundred infantrymen sitting on a group of Centurion heavy tanks got off the tanks amidst the yells of the officers and began to explore the way forward.
Some of them were holding engineer metal detectors in their hands, something they absolutely didn't want to see.
This means that although the anti-tank mines they planted require more than 180 kilograms of pressure to trigger, they will not explode after being stepped on by infantry.
But under the metal detector, there is still nothing to hide.
There was also a platoon or so of infantry, and they even prepared to go around the stone wall to have a look.
Obviously, after they saw the special terrain of the stone walls of Death Valley, they did not choose to pass through rashly, but planned to let the infantry investigate first.
In this way, it seems that the ambush personnel of the Volunteer Army will be discovered and exposed soon...
"What the hell! Since I gave you face and you are shameless, then don't blame me for being too cruel~"
When I looked at an engineer holding a detector in his hand, he was only about ten meters away from an anti-tank mine he had planted.
In Hu Biao's mouth, he cursed like this with some indignation.
As he spoke, Hu Biao picked up a Type 50 submachine gun in his hand, preparing to knock that annoying engineer to the ground with a hail of bullets.
At the same time, it can be regarded as using gunshots to issue orders to take action.
At such a time, Po Luo next to him, the big brother of the team who knew better about people, coughed twice, which attracted Hu Biao's attention.
When Hu Biao looked over, Po Luo gestured in the direction of the second company commander.
It was only then that Hu Biao realized that he seemed to have overstepped his authority. He quickly showed an awkward but polite smile to the second company commander.
Then, the second company commander didn't know what to say with a smile and curse, he took a shell gun in his hand and opened fire with a "pop".
The sound of gunfire represents the order to fight.
Hu Biao raised his hand and fired three rounds of bullets to greet him. He shot a few blood splatters into the chest of the engineer and gave Po Luo a look.
Miraculously, under such a look, Poluo understood what Hu Biao meant:
This was to change the battle plan and let Poluo lead his men around the back of the heavy tank battalion and find a way to knock out the last tank to prevent these guys from retreating and escaping.
For this reason, Poluo quickly named his teammates nearby:
"Lao Chu, Xi Ling, De Luo, Tiedan, Dachang, Heitan Tou, you guys bring two rocket launchers and come with me~"
At the same time, in the next few seconds, the gifts prepared by the volunteers for the Royal Heavy Tank Battalion were ceremoniously presented to them one after another.
First, Original Sin, Lao Hei, and other machine gunners from the Volunteer Army opened fire collectively with seven or eight heavy machine guns at the same time.
The fire snake that whipped over directly reduced the more than one hundred infantrymen who came out to conduct reconnaissance to forty or fifty people in an instant; the remaining infantrymen were like headless flies, hiding on both sides of the road.
go.
In such a process, more than a dozen people were killed in the blink of an eye.
Even if the remaining 70 or so people successfully hid in the snow-covered drainage ditch on the road, they were unable to fight back with the help of their Lee Enfield rifles, which mainly held bolts.
If nothing changes, they will all be wiped out soon.
Secondly, Zhuifeng is holding a Type 50 rocket launcher, which is the replica of Guo Jia's Type 69 rocket launcher in this mission world.
About a hundred meters away, the frontal armor of the Centurion tank, which was the first one, hit it directly.
Under the flaming tail of a burst of flying rockets, it hit the target in the blink of an eye.
The so-called Centurion heavy tank was a piece of equipment developed by the Johns during World War II to deal with the German Tiger heavy tank.
Now, 50 years later, it is actually not outdated.
However, after being hit by an imitation Type 50 rocket launcher armor-piercing projectile with more than 70% of the power of the 69 rocket launcher, there was no surprise in the result.
Two consecutive loud bangs of "Boom, boom~" were heard one after another. The first sound was that the Centurion's frontal armor was penetrated.
The second sound that followed was that the ammunition compartment inside the Centurion tank was detonated by a wild metal jet, causing the 50-ton giant to explode, causing a huge noise.
When the leading Centurion heavy tank burned into a ball of fire, the remaining 30 tanks behind them blocked the way one by one.
Such a scene made Mang a little depressed, because it seemed that their engineering team's work was in vain.
Finally, there are a large number of team members such as Zhuifeng, Bianrou, Shi Polu, etc., as well as a large number of volunteer soldiers.
One after another jumped up from the secret place, carrying rocket launchers, explosive packs, anti-tank grenades, etc., and took the initiative to attack the Royal Heavy Tank Battalion that was blocked.
Because they understand that using the firearms in their hands to shoot at these iron lumps with 83.4 mm tank guns and numerous vehicle-mounted machine guns is simply seeking death.
The wisest choice is to take advantage of the chaos and kill them.
Facing numerous opponents approaching quickly under the light of flares, in fact, the Yin Army side that was suddenly attacked did not do anything.
While one after another started to rotate the tank turret above, many tank commanders were already trying to operate the anti-aircraft machine guns on the turret, preparing to launch a counterattack.
More infantry also relied on the cover of tanks to continue shooting.
The warehouse manager just waited for the sniper, and after firing the sniper rifle one by one, five or six vehicle commanders were killed in the blink of an eye, leaving the remaining lucky ones to retract their tanks regardless of risk.
The mortars greeted by King Kong, Bianrou and others also continued to land near the tank.
Although the 107mm caliber mortar shells, unless they land directly on the tank turret, can destroy the tank by exerting the effect of initiation.
Such an example is often as rare as winning a lottery.
But even if the artillery shells fall nearby, the power of the 107mm caliber artillery shells can knock over the surrounding infantrymen on the spot.
In short, it benefited from careful preparation before the war.
Although it was somewhat different from what was expected, at the moment when the battle suddenly broke out, the volunteers launched a wave of fierce firepower, and everything seemed to start smoothly.
It's just that until now, Hu Biao and others still don't know that there is another team lurking in the opposite convoy...
