Diego had been stunned by the explosion. The majesty he had just now had long since disappeared, and he was currently lying on the ground shivering.
"You are such a pig! If you don't give orders, whoever becomes your subordinate will be screwed for eight lifetimes!"
Qin Fei grabbed Diego who was on the ground and shook him: "Tell your men to turn off the lights and leave, now we are being bombarded!"
"Quick...quick..." Diego finally came to his senses and shouted to his men: "Did you hear that? Turn off the lights and do what Qin said! Get out of here."
Unfortunately, this order was too late.
The two shots just now were just test firings, and suddenly, the continuous firing started.
Cannonballs fell one after another around him, and the ground began to tremble. Qin Fei felt that even if he was lying on the ground, he would be shaken up.
Those reconnaissance vehicles brought by Diego were unlucky. The people inside opened the doors and fled like scurrying rats.
"Find cover!"
Qin Fei shouted, and he and Lao Yu quickly ran a few steps and jumped into a crater that had just been exploded and was still hot.
The soil here is soft, which has certain advantages, because no debris such as stone chips will be produced. In an explosion, the force of the flying hard fragments and shrapnel are almost the same, and they can also hit the vital place.
People are dying.
Diego's commanding skills are extremely poor, but his escape skills are top-notch.
He followed Qin Fei and Lao Yu without following anyone.
Because he felt that Qin Fei and Lao Yu were the most powerful people in the X mercenary group. When encountering difficulties, it was always right to follow powerful characters.
The three of them jumped into the pit, and Qin Fei couldn't help but yelled at Diego again: "I don't even know where you, the commander, learned your combat skills, why wouldn't you go to another pit!? Three
Individuals are crowded into a pit, and a cannonball will kill them all!"
"I feel more at ease if I run with you..." Diego gasped for air, "Besides, on the battlefield, the probability of two shells hitting the same point is more difficult than giving birth to twins."
Qin Fei was stunned. Although this guy said he was stupid, he was not really stupid to the extreme. His theory did exist.
Due to the principle of artillery shooting, the probability of landing at the same impact point is basically very low, so in actual combat, many veterans will choose bomb craters as hiding spots when there is no better cover.
Before Diego could finish his words, a corpse fell from the air and fell directly into the crater, landing among the three of them.
Seeing the body that was burned black and steaming from the body, the three of them were speechless.
Being hit by a cannonball is a terrible death. Even if you are caught by a shock wave at close range, you will still bleed internally if you don't die.
"Damn it! Old fish, where did they get the cannons!?" Qin Fei said: "It seems that my guess was right. FOX is not that stupid. There must be something behind it."
The old fish made a "shush" sound, put his index finger on his lips, and raised his ears as if listening to something.
"Did you hear anything?" After a moment, he asked Qin Fei.
Qin Fei also listened, his eyes lit up and he said: "It exploded first, then there was a sound."
The old fish nodded.
Diego was confused at the side: "What on earth are you talking about? Can you stop speaking Chinese? I want to hear it too."
Qin Fei rolled his eyes. For an unlearned and unskilled special forces officer like Diego, he thought that he had simply disgraced all the special forces members in the world.
As a lieutenant colonel commander of the Tiger Battalion, I don’t even have this kind of basic battlefield knowledge!
You can see the leopard only when you see it, and it can be seen that Eritrea's military strength is really...
"There is an explosion first and then the sound is heard, which means that the artillery position is very close to us. The speed of the cannonball is fast and exceeds the speed of sound before it is attenuated. Therefore, when it lands before it is attenuated, we first see the explosion and then hear the sound. The distance is far.
If the speed decreases, the sound will catch up. In that case, you will hear the sound first and then see the explosion. Do you understand?"
Qin Fei tried his best to teach the lieutenant colonel in as detailed and straightforward language as possible.
Diego thought for a while and shook his head: "I don't understand."
Qin Fei almost lost his temper. For the first time, he realized that he was an idiot. Because he explained such a detailed problem to an idiot, how could an idiot understand what normal people say?
"What Qin Fei means is that the artillery position for firing is not far from us. I estimate it is no more than two kilometers away. It is a direct fire." Old Yu looked at Qin Fei and said: "But there is sea within two kilometers around here, so there can't be artillery.
position."
"Old Yu, don't forget, the ship can do it." Qin Fei said: "Listen to the sound of this kind of gun, and the power of this explosion. It is not an ordinary ground gun, it is a naval gun. The caliber is not large, it is estimated to be below 100MM.
, consistent with the characteristics of naval guns.”
The old fish said: "Damn, if this is the case, FOX must have thought about it a long time ago. He knew that it would not be safe for the ship to dock directly at the dock, so he let his ship park in the open sea and wait for his order to dock. This is the seal's tactic.
Cooperation is generally very tight, and unlike the Somalis, they can achieve perfect coordination without any time difference."
"No. They have already made a mistake." Qin Fei said: "They didn't expect us. This time the FOX team came here for the CFO of UBS, not for us. They just met us by mistake. To deal with us
,The time they originally planned has gone wrong!"
Lao Yu nodded and said: "Well, if something goes wrong, the action will fail. We must seize the opportunity!"
Qin Fei frowned and thought for a moment, then asked Diego: "Where is your air force? Where is the nearest air force?"
"Two fighter jets have been dispatched." Diego said: "Before, my uncle considered that some of the Somalis might escape from the net and escape from the sea, so he sent two MB-339 attack planes over to clean up
Enemies fleeing at sea."
The MB-339 is actually not a fighter jet in the strict sense. It was originally a trainer aircraft. It was equipped with engines from Rolls-Royce and has three models: B, K, and C. Among them, the K model is an attack aircraft.
After modification, it can hang offensive weapons such as missiles and ground-attack cannons. The six underwing hardpoints can carry a total of 1815 kilograms of external weapons. Cluster bombs can be hung. AN/SUU-11A/A 7.62mm small machine gun pod, "Matt
Qin Fei gave a thumbs up: "Your uncle seems to be a bit real, much better than you. The key now is, how long does it take for the plane to arrive?"
Diego quickly contacted the command center on the channel and asked about the arrival time of the plane.
After a while, he excitedly gestured to Qin Fei: "There are still twenty minutes!"
"How long does it take to get to the Somali waters from here?" Qin Fei asked Lao Yu.
The old fish said: "It will take at least three hours."
Qin Fei breathed a sigh of relief, luckily, there was enough time.
"But..." Old Fish added: "The time to reach the high seas will be very short, only half an hour."
"How could it be so fast!?" Qin Fei was surprised.
"Because the opposite sea is the Republic of Aden. As long as they drive near the middle line, it is difficult for the Air Force planes to attack there. Also, don't forget, this is very close to Jebuti, where there is an overseas military of the M Army.
base."
Old Yu said solemnly: "Perhaps, they are not going to Mogadishu at all, but to Jebuti Base. I think these people are related to the M Army."
Qin Fei took a breath. You must know that with Eritrea's military strength, it would not dare to provoke Country M under any circumstances. It is the only superpower.
Suddenly, there was a strange whistling sound overhead.
"Cannonball!"
Lao Yu is a veteran who has been on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang, so he is very familiar with this sound!
This sound is caused by the friction between the cannonball and the air when it falls towards your head!
This means that at this time, a cannonball is falling towards the three of them at an alarming speed over their heads!
