Some militants began to rush towards the limited number of anti-aircraft guns or anti-aircraft machine guns, carrying ammunition boxes and preparing for anti-aircraft shooting.

Among the Tuareg militants, there is generally no special anti-aircraft gun organization. Only the rapid-fire gun brigade will be equipped with a few light 20mm caliber anti-aircraft guns.

There are not many anti-aircraft guns available to them in a regiment, unless an additional independent anti-aircraft gun unit is specially sent to the first group, and after strengthening, they will have a certain air defense capability.

However, the Eighth Regiment has not been strengthened to give them an independent anti-aircraft artillery unit, so their anti-aircraft firepower is very weak, and almost all rely on infantry to provide air defense capabilities. However, following the attack on the North Airport, a large number of fighter planes were destroyed by the attackers, and a brigade of pilots was almost wiped out, which greatly weakened the combat effectiveness of the militants in the Army Air Force.

Then the West Airport was bombed by bombers again, and many bombers were destroyed by the enemy on the ground, forcing the Army Air Force to retreat. As a result, the air defense force of their militants in the Gao area has been greatly weakened. This has led to the fact that Mali's bombers have become more and more aggressive in the past few months, often flying to the north of Gao to carry out bombing and strafing.

At the strong request of the Eighth Regiment, the Air Force sent a small number of anti-aircraft combat vehicles to several temporary combat readiness airfields around the Niger Valley, but this could not completely block the Mali bombers from coming to bomb, even if the Mali bombers were found to enter Niger Over the valley, the corresponding speed of the air defense force could not keep up with the speed of the Mali bombers.

Often it was after the bombers of the Mali Army had finished their bombing that the air defense units arrived late. At most, they were chasing after the enemy for a while, but they couldn't solve much of the problem.

So during this period of time, under the request of the superiors, the Eighth Regiment could only find ways to strengthen the air defense force by itself, using large-caliber machine guns that were not suitable for anti-aircraft machine guns, trying to make some wooden shelves on the spot, and putting these heavy machine guns on the ground. Racked on these wooden frames, they are temporarily used as anti-aircraft machine guns.

In addition, in desperation, they also used the light machine guns equipped by the infantry units to be held by the soldiers, and temporarily acted as anti-aircraft machine guns for anti-aircraft shooting, so as to strengthen their anti-aircraft firepower.

It was not until recently that we received a few anti-aircraft armored vehicles, so that the ground troops had a little bit of anti-aircraft capability, but the actual effect was very mediocre. Mali's bombers flew a little faster or higher, and they just couldn't reach them. , can only helplessly waste some bullets facing the sky, which plays a role of psychological comfort.

At this time, there were not many militants in the camp, and most of them had been driven into the northern jungle to hunt down the enemy who came to attack them last time.

After hearing the air defense alarm, the militants rushed out of the camp one after another, rushed to their heavy machine guns, raised their heavy machine guns in a panic, set them on the wooden shelves prepared in advance, and tried to fix them on the ground. On the wooden stand, start loading and get ready to shoot.

However, there are only heavy machine guns, but no anti-aircraft machine gun sights, and the wooden frame is not stable enough. Whether it can hit the enemy's aircraft depends entirely on luck. At this time, the stern air defense sirens became more intense, which made people feel distressed. The figure of the huge bomber flew lower and lower, heading straight for the camp from the northwest direction.

At this time, suddenly there was a dull sound of mortar shells on the east side of the camp. Several mortar shells flew up somewhere, and after a few seconds, they smashed into a hidden building in the dense forest. Among the ammunition depots of militants.

The explosion of the mortar shell was not loud, but there was a lot of thick smoke, which quickly diffused in the jungle and rose up. The orange-red smoke came out from under the canopy of the forest. rose above the canopy.

At this time, the navigators on the bomber were lying in the transparent cockpit of the nose, staring at the vast forest below with wide eyes, nervously searching for targets in the forest. When a navigator saw the orange-red smoke trails rising from the woods below, he excitedly shouted to the captain through the intercom: "Target found, at two o'clock on the front right, at a distance of 3,000 miles." rice!"

The captain stretched his neck and looked towards the position reported by the navigator, and soon found the orange-red smoke trails emerging from the forest, so he immediately picked up the microphone and called: "Target found! Front right Two o'clock! The distance is three kilometers!"

At this time, the major of the Malian Air Force was also personally driving his plane, searching for ground targets. After hearing the report from his wingman, he immediately found the target location, and called to the communicator on his plane: "Notify those guys! We The target has been spotted! They can evacuate! All planes have it, descend to 500 meters, turn right and follow me to attack!"

The communicator on the plane immediately picked up the microphone and began to call: "Fangfang! Fangfang! The target is found! You can withdraw!" At this time, the captains of all the planes found the target.

They all shouted into the microphone: "Understood! Descend to 500 meters, open the magazine! Prepare to drop the bomb!"

The bombardiers immediately lay down on the bombsights and began to aim. Some bombardiers couldn't stop talking while aiming, muttering: "Damn it! We're here to give you gifts again! Do it! Are you ready to receive it?"

The major of the Air Force called while operating the plane to descend the altitude and turn to the target: "We are ready to attack, help us watch!"

At this time, the anti-aircraft firepower of the militants on the ground also began to fire, and the extremely limited anti-aircraft guns began to fire into the sky.

The anti-aircraft shells flew towards the bomber fleet roaring, flying by the bombers one after another, occasionally hitting a bomber, but the small-caliber anti-aircraft shells had limited killing effect on these leathery modified bombers, as long as they did not directly hit the cockpit, or Hitting the fuel tank or the operating structure and engine can often only leave a bowl-sized hole in the fuselage of the aircraft, but it is difficult to effectively shoot down these bombers.

The bombers remained unmoved, maintaining a dense formation, huddled together under the leadership of the major, and continued to fly towards the target.

A fierce battle quickly started in the air, and they began to roar and maneuver violently, and began to fight. The militants' air defense strength is insufficient. Although they were ordered to attack the bomber fleet first, the enemy troops above them have already swooped down on them and opened fire violently. Get swallowed up by these **** aerial fires.

Lin Rui looked at the warehouse of the militants in the jungle in front of him on the ground, saw that the smoke bombs fired by Khan and the others had hit the warehouse of the militants, pointed to the left side and shouted: "Call the warehouse over there again!" A few smoke bombs! Let the bombers blow up that side too!"

When Khan and the gunner of the other gun heard the order, they immediately operated the mortar to re-aiming, and after a while they yelled together: "Aiming is complete! Fire!" The deputy shooter had already grabbed the smoke bomb and was ready to reload. Hearing the sound, they immediately filled the cannonballs into the muzzle. There were two crisp bangs, and the cannonballs flew out of the muzzle whistling. A smoke bomb filled the muzzle and smashed into another target one after another.

The observer watched the target carefully, and called to Lin Rui: "Boss! Hit the target!" Lin Rui looked up at the sky, and immediately called: "The work is done! Take the guy and go!"

Today the Mali Air Force came on time and did not make them wait too long, and although the militants patrolled very strictly, they did not patrol their hiding places, so this time they went quite smoothly. After the news that the bomber was in the air, Lin Rui gave the order to fire.

The first wave of smoke bombs was accurately hit on the head of their intended target, and billowing smoke came out. At this time, they received a reply from Major Mali, saying that they had found the target, and Lin Rui ordered to shoot at the second target. open fire.

When smoke rose from both targets, Lin Rui gave the order to retreat without hesitation.

At this time, militants around had discovered their existence, screamed and began to rush towards their position. The fire team on the outer perimeter had already started exchanging fire with the nearest militants. Machine guns, rifles, and submachine guns began to fire one after another, and the gunshots rang out.

The four gunners quickly dismantled the mortars and strapped them to their bodies with carrying gear. This time they were not willing to throw away the two mortars. As for the matters in the sky, they can't take care of it right now. Whether they can succeed now depends on whether the bomber fleet can accurately drop the bombs on the target.

And their lives have been done up to now, so there is no need to entangle with militants here anymore. So Lin Rui took these guys with him, stood up and started running away, exchanging fire with the militants who tried to intercept them all the way, and they had already discovered the secret posts set up by the militants in advance, and they were breaking through During this period, preparations have been made in advance.

Therefore, although there were militants surrounding them, the camp was already in chaos at this time, and there were not many militants in the first place. At this time, the number of militants who were really rushing towards them was not too many, which gave them a chance to retreat. Created more favorable conditions.

The bomber fleet had already flown over the target, and each bomber began to aim at the smoking position in the forest. When the reticle of the bombsight caught the target area, the bomber immediately pulled the bombing switch.

Bombs and incendiary bombs fell from the belly of the bomber like laying eggs. Because the ground targets were not strong, they used light bombs in order to achieve better results and improve the hit rate of bombs. Each plane carried more than twenty bombs. When these bombs are dropped, they can cover a large area immediately. Even if the bombing accuracy is slightly poor, relying on the advantage of numbers, they can still effectively hit the target area. What's more, they used multiple bombers this time. Like laying eggs, they dropped many bombs and incendiary bombs.

Even now that they are threatened by anti-aircraft fire, resulting in unstable flight and a large area where the bombs are scattered, part of the bombs are still accurately thrown into the target.

It was as if a pot was boiling in the jungle, and the shock waves produced by the bomb explosion were clearly visible. After the incendiary bomb exploded, each one shot up a big ball of fire.

Soon a bomb finally smashed into a large ammunition depot of militants impartially. There was only a huge explosion sound, which sounded in the forest. A large number of explosives stored in the warehouse were immediately killed collectively. A small mushroom cloud rose in the forest.

The huge shock wave generated by the violent explosion spread in all directions in the jungle. It was directly cut off at the middle, and a large open space was immediately blasted out of the dense jungle.

And the personnel surrounding the ammunition depot were instantly torn into pieces, and the militants who were a little further away were also blown away by the shock wave, crashing into the big trees one after another, and their tendons were broken. Some people were killed by the shock wave on the spot, while some survived and fell to the ground vomiting blood.

The militants who were farther away were dazed by the violent explosion. They stared dumbfounded at the huge fireball rising from the center of the explosion. They fell to the ground and their ears were buzzing. , Watching others open their mouths, but no sound can be heard.

Thick smoke wrapped in raging flames, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com rolled up from the ground, and the air waves generated by the explosion even rushed to a high place in the sky, even the bomber fleet was affected, and began to violently jolt. "Hit the target! It's the ammunition depot! The ammunition depot has been detonated! Haha!" The major, while trying his best to control the plane, stretched his head and looked down the cabin, laughing loudly.

Lin Rui and his group were like rabbits, rushing desperately while running towards the distance. God knows how many ammunition the militants have stored in the ammunition depot. There must be countless bullets, grenades and shells of various types in it. If it explodes, God knows how far the shock wave will travel.

Although Lin Rui can be sure that the ammunition stored by the militants in the ammunition depot here is not as large as that in the ammunition dump over there before, but he dare not underestimate the power of the ammunition explosion here, so it seems like being chased by a dog , and led a group of people to run wildly into the distance, even if they were intercepted by militants along the way, they did not dare to delay, and took the risk to make an assault and get out of the range of the explosion.

When the bombers behind him started bombing, Lin Rui ran even more happily, and shouted at his subordinates: "Brothers, run! The ammunition depot of the militants is going to explode! If you run slowly, we will suffer too." !"

Hearing his yelling, the other guys ran even more happily. It didn't take long for them to feel a violent vibration under their feet, and a few seconds later, they felt as if their backs were pushed hard by something. About general. (end of this chapter)
