"Grenade!"
The violent explosion almost tore people's eardrums, the scorching flames mixed with the rolling heat waves rushed towards the face, and the fierce gunshots like exploding beans were heard endlessly. I saw another one being thrown into the house dozens of meters away that was still spitting out tongues of fire. A deadly grenade, the Cuban instructor who was directing the attack immediately shouted a warning.
Immediately, the MPLA soldiers who were preparing to launch an attack could only hide behind the bunker to avoid the explosion. But just as everyone was hiding tightly behind the bunker, the door of the room used by the enemy as a machine gun bunker was opened, and immediately, a shoulder P, who was carrying a rocket launcher, fired a rocket at the corner of the room facing him.
The two MPLA soldiers who were hiding in the corner and preparing to charge after the grenade exploded were immediately blown away by the jet. Before they could get up from the ground, the bullets beat them to pieces, while the comrades on the side who were trying to rescue the wounded were also shot. He was also wounded and had to withdraw from the battlefield with the support of medical soldiers.
After shooting the rocket, P threw away the launch tube without any sloppiness. Then, he threw another grenade. Taking advantage of the explosion, he and the machine gunner in the room withdrew from the room in an extremely skillful tactical posture. When Anren When the athletes launched a pursuit, the team entering the room was immediately attacked by booby traps. .z.br>
Compared to the 1st and 2nd companies, the 3rd company attacking from the east faced the most difficult opponent due to the complex terrain, so Hannibal dispatched the most powerful Apple detachment to complex the defense here. With the support of a large number of veterans, the Apples The detachment and the MPLA company launched a fierce close-range battle in the housing area.
The row of buildings to the east of the airport are mostly logistic support facilities for the Portuguese army, including personnel dormitories, equipment warehouses, etc. Most of these facilities are relatively low, but because they were built with defense issues in mind, they are very strong. Although there is no way Like a hangar, it can withstand heavy aerial bombs, but it is very effective in defending against bullets and fragments. Therefore, the Apple team did not retreat back to the hangar for defense, but started repeated battles with the enemy in this low building complex. .
A long time ago, Shepard built a complete set of training facilities at the Shadow Company base camp, the most important of which was the simulation of street fighting environments. Although he himself was a half-hearted person, many veterans with rich actual combat experience had personal experience, and Shadow Company was still Summarized a set of pretty good experiences and experiences, and the Apple detachment has naturally been popularized a long time ago. Therefore, in brutal close combat, the Apple detachment operates in small groups and uses a variety of weapons and tactics against security forces. SPLM troops inflicted heavy casualties.
Under the leadership of the team commander, the Apple team broke into pieces and used elastic defense tactics. They did not stick to a few defense nodes. Instead, they liked to make way for gaps and actively retreat among the building complexes composed of dozens of buildings. , constantly creating small breaches, and then gathering superior numbers to encircle them from both sides of the breach. In this way, the MPLA's troops are constantly consumed.
Therefore, although it entered the battle a little later than the south side, the third company lost more people than friendly forces, and it was not just the MPLA soldiers who were killed, but even several Cuban instructors were hit by bullets in the fierce battle.
Although the Apple unit had complete protection, it still paid the price of three people killed and six injured. Moreover, because they fought deep into non-controlled areas, the wounded could not be evacuated. Therefore, Hannibal suffered even more pressure than Mara. Shenke is bigger.
The two sides started fighting at 11 o'clock and continued to fight until two o'clock in the afternoon. During this period, the People's Liberation Army even wanted to drive the Apple detachment out of the building complex on the east side. However, Captain Li, the commander of the Apple detachment, commanded the two teams in his hands to attack from the left. After making a beautiful maneuver and relying on strong firepower to break through, the Apple detachment almost cut off the waist of the third company. Fortunately, the company commander reacted decisively. After realizing that his side was about to be cut in half, he decisively gave up and captured the enemy. area, and later withdrew to the line of control. However, due to repeated firefights, more than half of his company was lost. Coupled with some lightly wounded soldiers, it can be said that the entire company has lost its combat effectiveness.
"Okay, send the signal and stop attacking!"
Malashenko, who was observing the battle from a high place, sighed, and then said to the deputy on the side.
Immediately, the deputy fired a green flare into the sky, and the sound of gunfire stopped abruptly at this moment.
"What a tough opponent!"
"yes
, we may not be able to get any benefits if we take the place, but..."
"But the premise is that no one has fire support!"
Malashenko looked at his watch and said.
"We have been fighting for so long, let them pull the people back!"
"But we can break through the hangar soon, right? Retreat now?"
The deputy looked shocked.
"Our opponents are not some motley crew, Sergey. Although they do not have as many people as us, their scheduling is more flexible than ours. It will be dark soon. If we don't retreat, those guys will launch a counterattack at night. By then, we will You have to quit all the same!"
"What about the airport?"
"We can't defeat it with just our people. Let's wait for the follow-up troops!"
Although Malashenko did not want to admit it, the three companies he had on hand, which had no mortars, no snipers, and only trucks as means of transportation, were unable to capture the airport at this moment.
But it doesn't matter, because the mortars and other equipment vehicles he left behind in order to rush on the road are already heading here. It will take about seven hours to arrive. By then, as long as you have that thing, you can The defense line was torn apart in one fell swoop!
Moreover, Malashenko had to study his opponent carefully, especially when his own troops who withdrew from the attack point brought back a 6-6 rifle used by Shadow Company P. Malashenko carefully looked at the tape tied together. There are two magazines, as well as the sight on the lift and the grip on the receiver.
"These equipments are not even popularized by the Americans themselves, but each of our opponents has one. Are these really ordinary mercenaries?"
"No matter what, after tonight, once our equipment arrives, it will be useless even if those guys are Captain America!"
The deputy said with great confidence.
"We all have reinforcements, do you think they don't?"
Malashenko looked at the sky and said a little helplessly.
"If only I had the Menshilka River on hand!"
"What do you need that thing for? Shouldn't there be a heavy artillery or a tank? With a tank taking the lead, I can rush to the runway in five minutes!"
The deputy was confused, but Malashenko looked at the airport runway silently, and then said slowly.
"Wait until evening, and you will understand!"
