Although the two armies were facing each other, only two hundred meters apart, after dark, both sides had a tacit understanding and did not make any more trouble. However, everyone knew that things were not that simple. The black uncles of the People's Liberation Army generally suffered from night blindness, and at the same time, they also suffered from night blindness. There is no night vision equipment, so it is very difficult to operate at night.
But the Shadow Company was on the contrary. Shepard bought nearly thirty night vision devices from Vietnam. Although some of these devices were damaged and then repaired, they were at least usable. Therefore, Shadow became Shadow at night. The company's home ground.
After resting, Hudson and his agents began preparations for the attack. They did not wear equipment, but each carried ten extra magazines. The grenade bag on their body and the first aid bag on their waists were also full. of various explosives.
After preparations were completed, Agent Hudson immediately led a group of his men along the north side of the airport to prepare for a large detour, so that he could directly insert himself into the enemy's back on the south side of the airport.
According to the plan, one hour after they set off, that is, after they are expected to arrive at the target area, Shadow Company, which is responsible for guarding the airport, will launch a feint attack to attract the enemy's attention. After Hudson breaks in, the two sides will attack together. Drive the enemy away from the airport.
In this counterattack, not only three combat units will be dispatched, but also two 0 armored vehicles sent over by transport planes.
After the green skin transformation, the 0's turret was loaded with two heavy machine guns in parallel, and six rp3 rocket launchers were installed on both sides of the turret. Although it would be very difficult to deal with armor, it is still difficult to deal with it. Light infantry is no problem.
"Ah, I kind of miss Emil's coffee!"
Shepard was leaning in the turret with a blanket, drinking a lemon-flavored brew, and said to Hannibal who was also napping next to him.
"Yes, it's only been less than three days, and I'm already desperate for field rations. Boss, by the way, when are we going to acquire a food company to make field rations?"
"If you think too much, no matter what flavor of field rations you have, you will get bored after eating them a few times. So, you might as well hire a field chef, preferably one who is proficient in French, Italian, and Chinese food!"
"Cooking while fighting, right?"
Hannibal stretched and then looked at his watch.
"It seems like it's almost time!"
"Then take action!"
Shepard put on his helmet and got back inside the turret. Due to the lack of manpower, he would also participate in the counterattack at night, but 0 would only provide fire suppression behind the airport runway, so it was relatively safe. .
At this moment, the rotating personnel drawn from the three Apple Butter Charlie detachments had completed their attack preparations. Then, Hannibal walked outside the hangar and fired a green flare into the sky.
Subsequently, dozens of flashes of fire suddenly appeared in the darkness. These recoilless rifles had already calibrated the shooting coordinates and launched a violent bombardment at the position occupied by the MPLA. The machine guns loaded with tracer bullets also began to fire long bursts of fire. The tracer bullets were fired at Dark red curves streaked across the night sky, like lasers.
Although Malashenko had made sufficient preparations for the counterattack at night and even directed his men to block the entrance and exit of the hangar, the temporary accumulation of debris could not stop the bombardment of 106 high-explosive bombs and the temporary roadblocks It was quickly blown into the sky, and then the counterattack team wearing night vision goggles began to attack from both sides along the southeast and southwest of the airport.
Relying on the advantages of direct firepower and night fighting, the first hangar occupied by the MPLA was quickly recaptured. Although a squad of soldiers stationed here worked hard to defend, they could not see the enemy's position in the darkness at all. , but he was knocked down one by one.
Later, because the hangar was lost, the MPLA soldiers defending the surrounding area had to abandon their defensive positions and retreat. In the darkness, people kept falling to the ground because they could not see the road clearly. Even when they retreated to the second line of defense, At that time, because their identities could not be determined, they were accidentally injured by friendly forces. Three unlucky guys were killed on the spot. If a Cuban instructor had not confirmed their identities, the number of accidental injuries might have doubled.
After receiving the news of the enemy's counterattack, Malashenko immediately ordered the precious 12
The 0mm mortar company provided fire support. The shooters fired illumination bombs over the battlefield and started fire coverage at the coordinates set during the day. However, because the counterattack forces of Shadow Company attacked through underground passages and flanks, , so the mortar company's bombing was purely to set off fireworks for everyone.
"The attack from the other side is very fierce!"
Malashenko did not stay in the rear. He took advantage of the night to move his headquarters to a warehouse only three kilometers away from the runway. Although this four-story warehouse is not as high as the airport's hangar, But it could better help him observe the battle situation. Seeing that his own front was in danger, Malashenko couldn't help but grimace again.
"Night vision goggles, the opponent is just a group of mercenaries, how come they are so well equipped?"
"But maybe it's because he's a mercenary that he's equipped with it, right?"
The deputy didn't dare to say anything when he saw his boss was so serious, so he said cautiously.
"How about letting the commandos conduct a counterattack along the south runway of the airport?"
"It seems like this is the only way to go!"
Then, in the warehouse under Malashenko's feet, I remembered the roar of the engine starting up. Then, several black steel shadows used the moonlight to drive out the back door of the warehouse, and then killed them along the east entrance of the airport. .
At this moment, Shadow Company's counterattack force has entered the second hangar and has begun to clear out the remaining enemies nearby. Most of the enemies have retreated to the third hangar, leaving only a few who have not escaped and are still shivering in the darkness. , a sniper took advantage of the darkness and quietly climbed to the top of the hangar to observe the enemy's situation. Then, he saw several blurry black figures approaching from the north.
Before he could see clearly what it was, the black shadow stopped. Then, intensive heavy firepower tilted towards the hangar. The intensive line of fire was just a line, sweeping back and forth between the hangar and the runway. move.
"Heavy machine gun? Armored vehicle?"
"Soviet brd armored vehicles!"
"Not only that, but also a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun!"
The counterattack force, which was instantly suppressed by the hail of bullets and could not move, immediately reported to Hannibal in panic.
The latter also looked shocked.
"How did these guys get here? There are also self-propelled anti-aircraft guns. Have you confirmed the model? Is it Shilka River or something?"
"Can't be sure, but probably not!"
