Ali, Lao Kuba and others all looked for places to hide. At this time, I can only hide.
After a wave of launches, Ali climbed up from the trench and shook the dirt off his body. The order was given: "The Type 02 heavy machine guns in the five bunkers ahead, aim at those pickup trucks and fire."
During this time, Ali took advantage of the terrain at the end of the mountain road to build many bunkers made of granite stones and cement with excellent downward shooting range. Used to place 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine guns.
Some of these bunkers are fully enclosed. Some are open-air wall-shaped semi-permanent fortifications.
There was no firing on the mountain, and the troops at the foot of the mountain couldn't see clearly. The combatants on the mountain were hiding there. They can only shoot randomly.
At this time, as soon as the Type 02 fired, its position was immediately exposed. I saw five locations on the mountain, behind the bushes, with machine guns spraying flames fiercely.
Mahdi immediately directed all heavy machine guns to fire at these five places.
The more Mahdi fought, the more frightened he became. These people actually had heavy machine guns.
And the sound is very deep. Obviously these machine guns have a larger caliber than their own machine guns. It should be a 14.5mm caliber. He immediately understood that he could not continue to shoot at each other, as he would suffer big losses if he continued to fight like this.
This 14.5mm caliber machine gun has a range far beyond our own. And the power of the bullet can be more than doubled. Heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns are shooting at each other. That's not seeking death.
Unfortunately, it was too late for him to react.
Although outside the firing port of the bunker, stone fragments were flying from the dense 12.7mm bullets, and many stones were shattered. But the one-meter-thick stone wall withstood the concentrated fire from the pickup truck's machine gun.
The bucket-shaped shooting port is large on the outside and small on the inside. The shooting area is very wide. From the bunker on the top of the mountain, you can clearly see the pickup truck convoy below.
The range of the heavy machine gun on the pickup truck is 1,500 meters, which is enough to hit the mountain. The 12.7x107mm bullet is so powerful that it sends stone chips flying from the top of the mountain. The infantrymen in the trenches on the suppressed hilltop could not raise their heads.
Ali was glad at this moment, thanks to buying some heavy weapons, now it seems that it was the right decision. At this time, their AK74 rifles and PKM squad machine guns could not reach the pickup truck at all.
Fortunately, he is equipped with five Type 02 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine guns.
After Ali's order to fight was given, the soldiers sitting on the five anti-aircraft machine guns immediately shook the height and direction machines and lowered the muzzles of the guns. Aiming at the pickup truck at the bottom of the mountain, he immediately stepped on the open pedal.
A burst of flames sprayed a dense cloud of projectiles towards the pickup truck in the distance. The high-power bullets of Type 02 are like using armor-piercing bullets against tanks to hit armored vehicles. They will directly tear the pickup truck to pieces.
The personnel and equipment on the vehicle were directly smashed into pieces. A cloud of blood mist exploded. When a bullet hits a person's body, no matter where it is, it disappears immediately. As long as it is rubbed on, there is no chance of survival.
This is also the difference between 14.5mm and 12.7mm ammunition. The power is not on the same level at all. An ordinary heavy machine gun may shoot a person in two, but a 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine gun can directly shoot a person into a bloody mist.
The power of the Type 02 far exceeds that of an ordinary 12.7mm heavy machine gun. This anti-aircraft machine gun is as powerful as a 25mm cannon. Even if the bald eagle Apache comes, it can be shot down. Not to mention these ordinary Japanese civilian pickup trucks.
This ultra-large range machine gun with an effective range of 2,000 meters is very suitable for ambush warfare on mountain tops. Because you can't reach him, he can hit you.
Amidst the bursts of dull gunfire, the Type 02 sprayed flames and harvested Mahdi's men unscrupulously.
Mahdi was indeed a battle-hardened veteran. He immediately rolled out of the jeep and lay down in the river on the side of the road. Found a sand dune to hide in. Other veterans with rich combat experience immediately jumped out of the car and hid in the river.
The remaining soldiers still didn't know what the firing from the opposite side meant, and were still firing wildly at the top of the mountain with heavy machine guns. There were still a few people carrying RPG7s, trying to use armor-piercing shells to open the bunker and clear the firepower point.
It's a pity that rpg7's tear-jerking accuracy coupled with today's strong wind. None of the shots hit the target. Even if there is no strong wind, they have no chance. RPGs are reliable within 150 meters on a calm day, but the dispersion area is too large for ultra-long distances.
Mahdi watched as the 14.5mm machine gun bullet hit the tripod holding the heavy machine gun in the back of the pickup truck, directly breaking one leg of the tripod, causing the shooting heavy machine gun to collapse to one side.
The power of the tungsten alloy armor-piercing explosive incendiary bomb made him scratch his head when he saw it.
At this time, the pickup truck on the road down the mountain is like the advertisement for Zippo lighters, "It will light up every time you hit it."
Soon the pickup truck was in flames one after another.
The armor-piercing incendiary bomb ignited the fuel tank and engine oil. One after another, pickup trucks burst into flames. Those who did not come and escaped were directly killed in the flames. It quickly burned to coke.
After two bullets, these people couldn't stand it anymore.
They threw away their weapons and pickup trucks and jumped into the river to find cover. At this moment, they already knew clearly that if they continued to shoot at each other, they would soon be finished.
In Ali's telescope, there were only pickup trucks that were turned into piles of rubble and burning fiercely. Occasionally, the remaining ammunition in the heavy machine gun shells was ignited by the high temperature, crackling and exploding like firecrackers, and no one could be seen.
"Boss, the rest of them have hid in the river. We can't fight." A mercenary came up and reported.
"Move the mortars over. They are hiding behind the cover, and we will bombard them with mortars." Ali observed for a while and said.
"Boss, use the 60 mortar or the 120 mortar."
"Use 60's. It's too close here and heavy mortars can't be deployed."
With the mortars set up, a new round of strikes began.
Three mortars, each with a rate of fire of thirty rounds per minute. The minimum range is 200 meters, which is perfect for hitting enemies right under your nose.
Ali stared at the recruited soldiers firing mortars. They are all novices. It’s impossible not to stare.
Aiming with a sight is not difficult, Ali is mainly afraid of exploding the barrel.
Mortar shells are vacuum packed in aluminum foil bags. After tearing them open, take out the shells, screw on the fuse, and put a C-shaped propellant pack on the tail rod of the projectile body.
The biggest danger in using mortars comes from repeated reloading.
That is to say, the last shell was not fired due to various malfunctions. In the fierce battle, the gunner failed to pay attention to whether the previous round was fired, and then loaded another round.
You must know that the shell that was not fired had a fuse. The fuse is highly sensitive and will explode when touched. If it is reloaded, it will directly detonate the shell in the barrel. The result was that two shells exploded together on the firing position.
This kind of explosion will directly blow up all the members of the gun squad. It led to the tragedy of dying before leaving the battlefield.
One mortar shell after another fell into the river. Exploding into flames. There was a killing range of fifteen meters in radius, but they had nowhere to hide.
Mortars have high trajectories, giving the impression of shells falling directly from the sky. Hiding behind obstacles is of no use. This feeling is very disappointing.
Not long after this bombing, a white shirt hung on a branch was raised.
Mahdi was so broken by this point that he surrendered.
