Since the three divisions of the Mexican government army arrived and took up their positions, the artillery fire and gunpowder smoke have never stopped. The government army is well-equipped, and the Mexican Liberation Army has a large number of people. The two sides have entered a bloody war of attrition.
Raphael squatted in a crater, staring ahead with vigilant eyes. The collapsed houses had changed the original terrain, and the city's main roads could no longer look like they were before.
Among the ruins, an upside-down propeller plane hung on a half-collapsed house. This was a fighter plane flying from the USS Kennedy to support, but it was shot down by the government's Stinger.
Raphael saw with his own eyes the whole process of the plane crashing. The propeller smashed into the ruins and dust rose up. The nose of the plane was deflated, and the landing gear collapsed and fell far away. The fuel tank caught fire and burned the rear fuselage into a skeleton.
One wing was tenaciously connected to the fuselage, but it was full of holes.
The pilot's body was hanging in the cabin. I don't know whether it was too late to parachute or he died when he was hit. In short, his head made a hole in the cabin glass and was covered in blood.
Raphael's rifle was placed next to the crater, and he was holding a detonator connected to a wire. There are too many new recruits in the security forces, and guns are not the best weapons. Everyone likes to use grenades and anti-infantry mines in defensive operations.
.
Raphael is responsible for controlling the anti-infantry mines. Whenever he sees someone attacking on the other side, he will press the detonator in his hand. Each explosion is enough to make the charging enemies retreat. This is the fundamental reason why he can persist until now.
But there are not many anti-personnel mines left.
There was an empty ammunition box in the crater, and the old-fashioned grenades in it had been used up. Best was still squatting in the crater, and they were the only two left in the original five-person team. The other three people didn't know where they went.
Anyway, the battle was chaotic and organized, and I didn’t know whether he was alive or not.
Best has six grenades with the back cover removed in his hand, and the iron ring of one is still hanging on his finger, ready to be thrown out at any time. He has good arm strength and is very accurate in throwing. There are many positions in front of this crater.
The enemy was killed by him.
Likewise, there are not many grenades left!
Neither Raphael nor Best knew that the front line they were on had been abandoned. Their companions on the same front line were originally from the same company, but now they were the only two left. The others were only two
It was all filled in during the three days of fighting.
It was the Enclave's plane that caused all this. Rafael saw with his own eyes an F-16 flying over their position like a show off. The reason for the flyby was that it had just blown up a heavy artillery piece. The Mexican Liberation Army
Almost all the heavy weapons and heavy weapons of the security forces were killed by enemy aircraft.
With the Enclave's fighter planes present, the propeller planes of the Kennedy did not dare to come to support. Without air support, the battle became extremely cruel. Soldiers are just numbers. If they die, they will be crossed off the roster.
There was actually another sound on the battlefield, and that was a female voice coming from a radio. There was dust everywhere on the battlefield, but the radio had been wiped clean.
On the radio is the voice of Userman, the announcer of the Mexican Liberation Front, with a soft and sad tone that has been accompanying every soldier on the battlefield. She never does too many encouraging mobilizations, but simply chats with the soldiers or
Singing and saying that he would fight to the end with everyone.
There is no doubt that Userman is the goddess in the hearts of all the fighters of the Mexican Liberation Front at this moment. Many people are willing to die for her. Her voice is the only comfort for countless people on the battlefield to persevere. But today her voice is a little hoarse and she coughs from time to time.
Two sounds.
Anyone who talks and sings day and night for two or three days will become hoarse.
Best touched the nearby radio with his hand, and Raphael heard him whisper, "I will protect you."
Pfft..., Raphael laughed happily, and Best turned back to glare at him angrily. But before the two could argue for a few words, the ground suddenly vibrated, and the sand in the crater was stirring.
Tank, the enemy tank is coming!
When it comes to which weapon of the government forces gives the Mexican Liberation Front the biggest headache, there is no doubt that it is the tank. The enemy's three divisions are equipped with more than a hundred M60A3 tanks. At the beginning, the defenders also had Red Arrow-73s for defense, but later
The Enclave blew up multiple ammunition depots in succession, causing a shortage of anti-tank missiles.
To attack the enemy's tank, you have to pay a huge price. In many cases, you can only use the simplest explosive packs. But the tanks can move, and the pre-buried explosive packs are not effective. At this time, someone has to take the initiative to go forward and die.
Already.
When the ground shook, Raphael and Best looked out nervously, praying in their hearts that the tanks would not come in their direction. But what frightened them was that a turret appeared about a hundred meters away from them.
Because the ground was riddled with craters from shells, the tank was not moving very fast. But there were figures behind it, and there were obviously many infantry following it. Raphael and Best quickly looked at the target behind the crater where they were, where there was an explosive pack specially designed for
Come blow up tanks.
"I'll go this time." Without much hesitation, Best grabbed the five-kilogram explosive bag and said to Rafael: "You are responsible for detonating the anti-infantry mines to cover me. Don't let the following infantry kill me in half."
On the way."
The tank on the opposite side was slowly moving forward in the crater, and Raphael's face became extremely ugly. Best said calmly: "I know you have a wife and children, so just live a good life."
The two companions had formed a life-and-death friendship on the battlefield, and they were saying their final goodbyes with their eyes in the crater. Best patted Raphael on the shoulder and jumped out of the crater.
Seeing someone jumping out, the parallel machine gun of the opposite tank immediately opened fire, and the heavy machine gun on the commander's command tower was also firing. Within two or three times, Best was pinned behind a pile of rubble and unable to move.
Raphael looked anxious but could not help at all. It was also the first time for both of them to face a tank. They had no experience at all, so they could only act in a hurry - this kind of dangerous style of play would kill those with experience.
.
After a burst of machine gun fire, the tank on the opposite side even fired a grenade, blowing up the pile of rubble where Best was hiding and scattering it in all directions.
"Best!" Raphael shouted wildly, and jumped out of the crater while the dust covered his eyes, trying to pull his companion back. But just as he jumped out, a more violent explosion sounded from a distance.
Come on, the shaking on the ground can even make people unable to stand and fall directly to the ground.
At this moment, more than a hundred kilometers away from the city of Merida, Liu Meng's missile brigade finally crossed hundreds of kilometers across the Yucatan Peninsula, overcame various obstacles and troubles along the way, and maneuvered hundreds of vehicles in the training camp into position.
.
At this moment, M7 missiles are continuously launched one after another, and the missiles draw beautiful trajectories with dazzling tail flames. These missiles will fly at high altitude for a few minutes and land at the calculated landing point, powerful and terrifying.
The explosion can provide strong support to Merida's front line.
Artillery observers on the front line calibrated the impact point of these missiles, and each falling warhead could make the Mexican government troops in the attacking state scream like ghosts.
Raphael, who was on the front line, finally dug through the loose soil and pulled Best out. Then the two brothers saw that the tank that was showing off in front of them just now was blown up by a warhead that fell from the sky!
The entire battlefield situation has come to the final showdown!
