The mercenary took advantage of this opportunity, raised his arms and threw a grenade in the direction of the enemy's pursuit. However, he did not throw it into the enemy crowd, but threw it into the grass between the enemy and them.
"Smoke bomb!" the mercenary shouted loudly in English. After a while, a thick smoke rose from the grass, blocking the sight of these enemy soldiers, making it impossible for them to take accurate aim.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lincoln and the others dragged the injured brother into the darkness.
Eric hid behind a garbage dump cleared by an enemy airport, patrolling the battlefield in front of him with a sniper rifle, constantly adjusting the direction of the muzzle, and shooting down the enemy soldiers who were chasing their brothers one after another. Fall to the ground.
Just now, it was he who saw Lincoln's group being chased by the enemy. He shot and killed three enemy soldiers in time and pinned the enemy to the ground. This allowed Lincoln and the others to escape the enemy's pursuit.
And he took advantage of the range to kill an enemy sentry on a watchtower to the south, and covered another group's breakout and retreat. After Lincoln escaped the enemy's pursuit, he carried the injured brother on his back and shouted to the mercenaries following him: "Detonate!"
The mercenaries were not stupid. At this distance, they were already out of the explosion range, so they immediately lay down on the ground, took out the radio detonator, and pressed the switch hard.
I saw the row of planes on the tarmac, and flashes of light erupted in an instant, followed by a ball of flames. These planes were immediately like toys, torn into pieces, and the wreckage of the bombed planes was flying all over the sky. , a group of enemy soldiers who had just ran to the airport tarmac were blown away on the spot.
Some Tuareg militants were killed and injured on the spot, and some were blown to the ground by the air waves. Even the surviving militants were really dizzy by the huge explosion, and their ears were ringing. There was a buzzing sound, and the combat effectiveness was lost for a moment.
And not long after, explosions began one after another in the hangars. Each hangar spit out balls of flames. Some hangars were simply blown up and collapsed. Needless to say, the aircraft inside were also exploded in the explosion. , every frame was declared completely scrapped.
By this time, the mercenary unit's operation had basically achieved its initial combat goal. No matter what happened elsewhere, the bombing of these aircraft alone had made this operation initially achieve its goal.
The enemy troops at the airport were dumbfounded when they saw the bombed planes and hangars. This was a squadron! In the blink of an eye, everything turned into piles of flames and turned into blazing waste.
Since they entered the central part of Mali to fight, they have not suffered such heavy losses. Now the squadron is basically written off. God knows when they will be replenished with new aircraft.
But this is not the worst thing. The worst thing is their pilots. In order to facilitate emergency takeoffs and perform missions, these pilots usually stay in the barracks near the hangar. Once an order is given, they can quickly rush to The plane then takes off.
But just a moment after the gunfire rang out at the power plant, a demolition assault team also took action here, throwing grenades directly into the dormitories of these pilots.
These Tuareg pilots usually only wear pistols. After some heard the gunshots, the pilots who were woken up grabbed their pistols and rushed out of the barracks to see what happened. But what greeted them was a barrage of bullets and grenades. A dozen pilots were thrown to the ground on the spot, and some pilots were killed and injured in the dormitory without even leaving the house.
Now that the plane has also been bombed, it means that the squadron has been declared wiped out in an instant. The losses are so huge that the enemy troops stationed here are heartbroken and dumbfounded.
At this time, the time bombs previously deployed by the blasting teams throughout the airport also began to be detonated one after another. First, the airport tower collapsed instantly with a loud noise.
Then came the airport¡¯s radio antenna, which also fell over with a loud explosion, and then hit the ground with a loud bang.
Not long after, there was an earth-shaking loud noise from the oil depot, and a huge fireball shot up into the sky, rising hundreds of meters high, even a huge oil tank. , was also blown up and flew up high with fireworks, and then fell back to the ground with all its strength, hitting the ground heavily, which triggered another explosion.
The fire caused by the oil depot explosion illuminated almost the entire airport. The huge fireball caused by the airport oil depot explosion could be seen dozens of kilometers away, lighting up half of the sky.
Lin Rui covers his menThe officers in the room immediately rushed out of the headquarters and looked toward the airport.
As a result, their eyes suddenly widened, because they saw a huge fireball rising into the sky from the airport. The flames shot up hundreds of meters high, and even the city of Gao was lit up.
Everyone felt their scalps go numb, and they immediately realized that this was the fire caused by a violent explosion at the airport oil depot. So the commander of the Eighth Regiment turned around and rushed into the headquarters quickly, shouting an order: "Immediately order to move due west. The third battalion dispatched troops and rushed to the airport at full speed! And immediately organized personnel to rush to the direction of the airport and go all out to put out the fire! Don't waste time!"
So an enemy brigade stationed near the city of Gao immediately sounded the rally call and summoned the soldiers who had been awakened from their sleep from their barracks.
Not long after, they dispatched three companies of troops and ran towards the north airport at full speed.
The reaction speed of the Tuareg people was not bad. From the time he was awakened by the explosion to the time when the first support army he sent set off, it took less than half an hour in total. But even so, it was of no use. Because at this time, the North Airport had completely turned into a sea of ??fire.
Standing in the headquarters, the commander of the 8th Regiment had a gloomy expression on his face. His mind immediately flashed back to the attack that occurred at the station less than a month ago. Because of the attack on the station, he Taking a scapegoat has almost become synonymous with incompetence.
A task force consisting of hundreds of mercenaries and Malian soldiers managed to escape his pursuit after blowing up the station, leaving both him and the division commander disgraced.
If the situation were more serious, he would be blamed even more, but even so, he felt that his face was shameful because of this matter, which made him hate the mercenaries.
Today, he didn¡¯t expect that only a month had passed before another group of daring enemies actually came and attacked the airport. He didn¡¯t know the identity of the enemy yet, but for some reason, he still thought of the original group of mercenaries.
Is it that group of mercenaries again? He looked at the direction of the airport where the flames were blazing, and thought to himself, then turned around, and then ordered: "Inform the West Airport and ask them to strengthen their alert. In addition, order the person in charge of the material base to send a group of troops to the airport immediately. Establish defenses in the west.
Once you encounter an unidentified person, immediately intercept them on the spot and do not let anyone go! Otherwise, I will definitely not be able to spare him! "
At this moment, the North Airport seems to have become a sea of ??fire. All kinds of things that can burn here seem to be burning violently. The hot air is spinning and rushing into the sky, and thick smoke is billowing, making the airport Even the air in the area seemed to be burning hot.
The smoke from the burning of gasoline and various combustibles is so thick that people can't open their eyes. People who are hundreds of meters away from the fire can feel a burning sensation on their skin. But that's not all, there are still new explosions happening in the airport.
Originally, gunshots rang out from the earliest power plant, but now there was a series of loud noises. The generating set was immediately blown to pieces. Even the two boilers used for power generation were blown up on the spot. Steam was blown away. In addition, the coal in the boiler was scattered everywhere, and some parts were even smashed hundreds of meters away.
The Tuareg militants and some local workers working and stationed at the power plant were blown to pieces almost instantly, and not even a whole body could be found. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
