Chapter 610 General Attack

Justin did not get a detailed map of the minefield. In fact, the British did not have such a thing. Watermark advertising test Watermark advertising test

The British only laid mines according to the general area and planted the mines. Even if they knew where to go to the minefield, they did not dare to go inside.

Logically speaking, when laying landmines, you have to remember the location of the mines so that you can easily clear them after the war. However, the truth is just the truth. Who has time to do this in a real war, otherwise? If that were the case, there wouldn’t be so many minefields left in the world now that even after decades, no one should enter.

The British just fought and left. They didn't care about the life or death of the local people, so they buried the mines so that their own people couldn't step on them.

As for Gao Yang, he just knew that it was a safe zone. How to clear mines after the war was not his business.

There were no mines on the beach in Gesale, and there were no mines outside the city in the northeast. The British were too pressed for time and they did not have time to lay all the mines.

The long and narrow city of Gesale can be attacked from two directions, which is enough.

The supply ship of the Skeleton Gang arrived first, with fresh water, food, and the most important artillery shells. It took a long time to transport these things from the sea to the land and then distribute them to each gun emplacement from the land.

Ulyanko's ship arrived later. Although it didn't carry much, oil and ammunition couldn't be transported directly to the shore from the big ship, so barrels of oil and ammunition for helicopters were first put on the small boat. It also took a lot of time to send it to the shore bit by bit.

The whole night was spent preparing for the upcoming general attack, and almost all the people who were not on combat missions were used.

The two helicopters are really easy to use, but they are also really troublesome to serve. Ulyanko brought a total of twenty people as ground crew members.

Helicopters don't need an airport. It can take off and land as long as there is a flat ground, but there must be some maintenance work on the ground, including refueling and reloading. Definitely inseparable. And these all require manpower, and they must be experienced professionals.

Someone who can use an armed helicopter to fight. No matter what, it has to be a country, and it must at least have some financial resources, or it must be a big company like the company in South Africa, which can also afford helicopters. As for the poor guy, it’s better to give up on this idea.

Apart from anything else, if you use a helicopter, even if you don't prepare an airport and just find an open space, you still need a refueling truck. If you have a refueling truck, where does the oil in the refueling truck come from?

Helicopters burn aviation kerosene.

When Ulyanke came, he would definitely be ready to bring it with him. If Gao Yang were to get it, he wouldn't even know where to buy aviation kerosene.

so. Armed helicopters are not very expensive to buy, and the supporting weapons and ammunition can be bought with a bit of grit, but maintenance and logistics are really troublesome and expensive.

This time the armed helicopters were brought to participate in the war. There was no refueling truck. We had to manually use oil pumps to refuel the helicopter's fuel tanks. The speed was very slow and dangerous. It was okay to do this for an emergency, but it would not be like this for a long time. No one can stand it, and basically there is no need to think about transitions.

There are helicopters, but they can only be fixed in one place, and a base is built to maintain and park them. These tasks have to be done by people, and a group of people need to be raised. In terms of the strength of the Satan Mercenary Group, it has its own There was no need to think about things like armed helicopters. Da Iwan couldn't afford to give them away for free. Otherwise, Gao Yang would be polite and would happily accept them.

There was no equipment at all. Refueling and mounting bombs on the helicopter had to be done manually. There were basically no auxiliary mechanical facilities. It was already midnight when the things were transported off the ship. In order to save time, the ground crew who had just disembarked did not even bother. After taking a sip, I started busy refueling and reloading.

The artillery is already in place, the attack troops have been deployed, and the sky is already twilight. Everyone is waiting eagerly for the helicopter to take off. Only when the helicopter arrives in the sky can the general attack begin.

Finally, Gao Yang heard the sound of the propeller, and after watching the helicopter appear in the sky, he heard Ulyenko's voice.

"Report, lightning is in place."

"Report, Thunder is in position."

The helicopter piloted by Ulyanko was code-named Thunder, and the other was code-named Lightning.

All members of Satan are in the northeast of Gesale, which is the main direction of attack. Ulyanko will also be active in this airspace to provide cover for the attacking forces, while the other one will conduct diversionary attacks from the sea. , as well as providing cover for attacks from the safe passage to the southwest.

The codenames of the helicopters were just randomly chosen to distinguish the two helicopters, and for convenience when calling for support and command.

After taking a deep breath, Gao Yang said on the intercom: "Prepare the artillery fire for fifteen minutes! Fire!"

All radio equipment now shares the same frequency. When Gao Yang gives the order, artillery preparations begin immediately.

The artillery opened fire, and the artillery shells continued to pour at the coordinates set in advance, and the helicopter also began to look for threatening targets to clear. At the same time, the helicopter had an extremely good field of vision and could directly target the artillery.

After bombarding continuously for fifteen minutes, blowing up all the targets in sight, when the sound of gunfire stopped on time, Gao Yang immediately said: "Attack!"

The first wave of offensive formations immediately started taking action. A platoon of the teaching company, plus the entire first and second companies, launched an attack from the northeast of Gesale.

The Third Company launched an attack from the safe passage to the southwest.

The Fourth Company took a speedboat from the sea and gave the illusion of landing. However, if they encountered a strong resistance, they would withdraw to a safe distance. Of course, if they did not encounter strong resistance, then the feint attack would become Fight for real.

The Satan Mercenary Group did not go into battle with the first wave of offensive formations.

The forward team responsible for the first wave of attacks must have suffered the largest casualties. There are only ten members of Gao Yang's team. Although they are the strongest, they will not have much effect on this large-scale operation. On the contrary, they are likely to become Enemy sniper target.

Now the real important task of the Satan Mercenary Group is to attack the fortress. After the first wave of troops has pressed forward and the enemy's firepower has been ascertained, the Satan Mercenary Group will lead the reserve team to follow up. Once the forward team encounters an insurmountable point, , the Satan mercenary group will attack with the reserve team to pull out the nails that are difficult for the forward troops to conquer.

Command, and then take action to eliminate the enemies that the Skeleton Gang cannot solve. This is the role of Gao Yang and others.

The northeastern direction of Geisale should be stationed and defended by local pirates. This should be the weakest point in Geisale's defense. If it were just those pirates, some members of the Skeleton Gang's standing army could capture Geisale with a single charge. , but now there are many British people in Gesale, and they may have switched defenses with the pirates, or strengthened the defensive force in the northeast. Therefore, Gao Yang did not think that it would be easy to attack from the northeast, and he also prepared a forward Be prepared for heavy casualties in the troops.

Two companies plus one platoon were already a lot of people in terms of the attack area they could use.

Staying at a distance of 1,500 meters, Gao Yang held up his telescope to check the progress of the forward troops. Cui Bo was beside him, ready to shoot. In addition, Grolev used a heavy machine gun at this time to also do Ready to shoot.

Of course, there's Tommy, who now has a lot of shells ready to provide cover for the attacking forces.

The distance to launch the attack was only 1,500 meters. The forward troops' attack speed was not very fast. They bent down and trotted towards the city of Gesale. When they were almost 1,000 meters away from Geisale, the defenders in the city Just opened fire.

The enemy opened fire when they were still far away, which made Gao Yang very happy, because it showed that the enemy was a fool. At this distance, the heavy machine guns posed a threat to the attacking troops, but the enemy's light and heavy machine guns and rifles fired together, which only showed that the enemy was a fool. Pirates are wasting bullets.

The attacking troops would only launch a charge when they were less than 200 meters away from the enemy, defeating the enemy in one fell swoop and breaking through their defenses. Now, it was time for the covering troops to open fire.

As soon as the enemy opened fire, their position was exposed. This was what Ulyanko in the sky was waiting for. The machine guns and rockets fired immediately at the heavy machine gun fire rounds, and Tomi and Grolev were not vegetarians. , and of course the artillery. Suddenly the artillery shells and bullets hit the enemy's exposed fire points.

Cui Bo also fired, but from a distance of only 1,500 meters, he was just joining in the fun.

After a series of heavy blows and explosions, the enemy was basically inactive. The forward troops easily approached the dangerous zone less than 500 meters away from the enemy's defense line as if they were taking a walk.

The distance to the enemy's position was less than 500 meters, which was already the effective shooting range of the automatic rifle. Gao Yang's heart began to rise. It should be possible to tell whether the enemy's combat effectiveness was strong or weak at this time.

The forward troops' tactical movements began to increase, and the assault speed also accelerated. At this moment, Gao Yang saw that people at the front of the team began to fall one after another.

Encountering casualties is inevitable, and encountering enemy snipers was also expected. However, after seeing four people fall in a row, Gao Yang immediately gritted his teeth, because all the people who fell were the most undeserving. The people who can't fall the most are all commanders.

"Report! Enemy sniper! The commander of the second company was killed in action, and the commander of the first platoon of the second company performed his duties as company commander!"

"Report, the commander of the third platoon of the teaching company was killed!"

Just like that, one company commander and three platoon commanders died in the forward troops, one of whom was the platoon commander of the teaching company.

Before the attack, Gao Yang had ordered all officers to remove anything that distinguished them from ordinary soldiers. However, some of their habitual actions would still reveal their identities, such as waving to command, and snipers were These actions will never be ignored.

"Thunder report, the enemy sniper's location has not been found!"

Cui Bo also shouted: "Nothing found!"

Gao Yang sighed secretly for a while, there were too many enemy snipers, this battle was really difficult, and it was really scary.
