Before Li Zheng saw in the scope, the door of the hit French VAB armored vehicle opened, and several embarrassed French soldiers jumped out of the vehicle. One of them was still on fire. He got out of the car and threw himself to the ground. The comrades next to him hurriedly
Go up and cover him with a fire blanket.
Fortunately, the extrajudicial training was very good. When an armored vehicle was hit, two armored vehicles immediately covered the vehicle with firepower using the 20mm cannon on the roof, suppressing the opponent's firepower and preventing them from continuing to attack the vehicle on hand.
But the shooter who fired the RPG rocket launcher in the distance had long since escaped. This kind of wild shooting only had a suppressive effect and had no practical significance.
In Africa, the biggest problem encountered by extrajudicial corps is that these militants are very familiar with the local terrain and are good at using the terrain. They merge with branches of extremist organizations from other countries. The backbone of these organizations are veterans who have experienced many battles.
, able to skillfully use guerrilla tactics.
This makes the lawless people feel as helpless as shooting mosquitoes with a cannon.
After a round of crazy fire suppression, the medical soldiers had successfully rescued the wounded and retreated to the rear.
But just as the ambulance soldiers were evacuating the wounded to the back and planning to board a medical vehicle to retreat for treatment, suddenly, a ball of fire exploded on the ground about seven or eight meters away from the vehicle.
boom--
With an explosion, the medical soldiers carrying the stretcher and the wounded on the stretcher fell to the ground.
The military ambulance also had dozens of bullet holes, all caused by fragments.
"Bombardment!"
The attacking Gallic chickens in the front quickly looked for cover to hide. Soon, the artillery radar on the armored vehicle reconnaissance vehicle calculated the ballistic trajectory and transmitted it to the command vehicle at the rear.
The various large-caliber cannons and weapons on Gallic Chicken's side fired back at the KLM mortar position.
The fierce exchange of fire between Gallic Chicken and KLM made the commander at the scene, Han Jiangyuan, feel that his troops were in a huge whirlpool of trouble.
The villagers of Sambu Village were even more frightened. They never imagined that one day their quiet and inconspicuous little village would become a battlefield between the KLM and the Gallic Chicken Extrajudicial Corps.
Soon, Han Jiangyuan discovered a more fatal situation.
Gallic Chicken's troops actually marched directly into the village, pouring in from all entrances.
The fight between Gallic Chicken and KLM to the death has nothing to do with the peacekeeping force, because according to the principle of belligerence, they cannot interfere.
But now the Gallic Chicken directly marched some of its troops into the village, and the situation immediately took a fatal change.
Fighting just outside the village will at least not affect civilians. This is the result the peacekeeping forces want to see.
Just moving troops into the village means that KLM armed personnel will launch an offensive on the village.
If guns and cannons don't have eyesight, the people here will suffer.
"Colonel Alfonso!"
Han Jiangyuan found the French commander and began to question him severely.
"You sent your troops into the village to involve civilians in the war! Where is your humanitarianism!?"
In fact, Han Jiangyuan knew very well why Alfonso did this.
First, if Gaul Chicken's information is true, there is one of the KLM's arsenals in the village, and they can take the opportunity to search it when they enter the village.
Secondly, now that the two sides are fighting, the anti-aircraft machine guns on the KLM side are not a big threat to the Gallic armored vehicles. The biggest threats are those RPG rocket launchers and those mortars. These are direct-fire artillery, and the shooting distance is
It's usually several thousand meters away, so even if you hide behind a trench, you still can't avoid the attack.
The best way to deal with RPGs and mortars is to drive lightly armored infantry fighting vehicles and Alfonso's command vehicle into the village, and use the terrain and buildings in the village to provide cover to reduce the lethality of the attack.
In addition, there is another benefit to entering the village.
Find a sandy slope or depression in the village, build your own artillery position, and use the help of artillery radar to annihilate the KLM mortar position.
Overall, the French army currently has an advantage in all aspects. It previously advanced several hundred meters continuously, but after encountering an RPG attack, the armored vehicles' advancement became much more cautious.
Quickly establish a command center and build your own artillery positions to destroy the opponent's firepower points one by one, which will help further expand the results and drive the enemy away.
But this seems a bit unkind.
Not kind to the villagers.
The KLM will definitely bombard the village. Alfonso and the others are hiding in the armored vehicles. Of course they will be fine, but the villagers will be destroyed.
After hearing Han Jiangyuan's protest, Alfonso didn't take it seriously at all and said in a stern tone: "Colonel, you are peacekeeping troops. Please do not interfere with our military operations here. You do not have this power! My soldiers are bleeding, I
I will not put my soldiers in danger just because of your so-called kindness. Please get out of the way immediately! If you don’t want to conflict with us, you’d better listen to me, take your people immediately, get in the car, and turn around and leave here.
, otherwise we will not be responsible for any losses you suffer!"
Having said this, it is already a very strong word.
As a commander, Alfonso is no less stubborn than any soldier. No one wants to sacrifice his subordinates and colleagues. The villagers here are just "acceptable collateral damage" to the French army.
That's all.
Han Jiangyuan was powerless to stop him, even Alfonso was telling the truth.
Peacekeeping troops are so embarrassing sometimes.
Especially facing the military power of Gaul, which although it was a member of the Five Permanent Forces but was still a major European country, he had no choice.
All that can be done is to inform the United Nations peacekeeping forces in the eastern theater of country L about the situation and let them coordinate with the French army.
But that's just a political game.
By the time they finish negotiating, the damned people here will be dead long ago, and those who need to be saved will no longer be able to be saved.
In this situation, Han Jiangyuan had only two choices in front of him - either get in the car and run away with his people, or stay and continue to save people despite the KLM's artillery fire and the conflict with the Gallic chickens.
Han Jiangyuan was furious.
Since the Gallic Chicken is so arrogant that he cannot listen to his own opinions, there is no need for him to give in to Alfonso again and again.
There are some things where compromise cannot win respect, especially in war-torn areas like this.
He ordered the medical team to board the vehicle first and evacuate the village, and then ordered the security team to stay and continue to evacuate the villagers.
The villagers were now as frightened as a group of rabbits being chased by the god of death. They were running around the village in panic, and they could no longer tell the difference between east, west and north.
As expected, Colonel Alfonso's decision put the village of Sambu under artillery fire. Soon, two mortar shells fired by KLM militants landed in the village. One of them directly hit the priest's home next to the central square of the village.
Razed to the ground.
The other one landed directly near Tong Zhi and two Lao Te from the second squad who were helping the villagers evacuate the village.
Thick smoke rolled up, covering up the scorching sun.
Both Li Zheng and Zhang Jian's sniper teams discovered this scene.
Jiang Cheng's voice was slightly vibrato: "Li Zheng... a mortar bomb exploded near the platoon leader..."
"C1 calls Dong Liang, C1 calls Dong Liang!"
Dongliang is the code name of the group led by Tong Zhi.
However, there was no response in the channel.
Li Zheng quickly reported the situation to Han Jiangyuan.
"Dongdongyao, C1 called, Dongliang was attacked by mortars. The current situation is unknown. The bombardment point is next to the village square. Please send someone to check!"
Han Jiangyuan's heart skipped a beat.
I am afraid of everything, but I am afraid of this.
As a commander, I always hope to lead my brothers out and bring them back intact.
If there is a person who cannot come back and faces his family in the future, it will be a thousand arrows piercing his heart and he will not be able to face it.
"I am the Dongdong Demon, calling Dongliang! Calling Dongliang!"
He called twice, but Tong Zhi still didn't answer.
On the sandy slope, Li Zheng couldn't sit still.
"C1 requests to go out for inspection! Please approve!"
"C2 requests to come out for inspection! Please approve!"
C2 is Zhang Jian's sniper team.
He was also anxious.
Although Tong Zhi had always been extremely strict with him, Zhang Jianzhi knew that this was his platoon leader, and even if he kicked him a few times, he was just trying to make himself successful.
"You all stay in your positions and control the battlefield. Don't act rashly. You are not allowed to leave without my order!"
After Han Jiangyuan finished speaking, he turned back to the two quick counter-platoon veterans beside him and said, "Let's go take a look."
"Deputy commander, you can't go! You are the commander and you must be in the command position!" Translator Wang was the first to object.
"I'll go with them both!"
Not to mention, at the critical moment, the civilian translator Wang did not show off at all.
