Chapter 992: Do It Again

Although the sound and light effects are not very good, there is no explosion scene with flames shooting up into the sky, and because it is a mountain, the bunker-buster bombs cannot blow down half of the mountain.

But as long as the bomb drills in, the people inside will definitely not survive.

"There is no flame, and no shock wave sprayed from the entrance. The power of the explosion is all sealed inside the cave, and it is fatal."

Hank's voice is very excited. He almost finished laughing. This is no wonder, because this kind of battle that first explores the geology and then uses bunker-buster bombs to solve it seems to be the first actual combat completed in his hands.

Bunker-buster bombs have existed for a long time. The United States had them when it fought the Gulf War.

The Iraqis built many underground fortifications, almost all of which are reinforced concrete structures, but this kind of underground fortification that digs a pit on flat ground and uses reinforced concrete as a cover is a piece of cake for bunker-buster bombs.

During the Gulf War, the United States urgently needed a bomb that could effectively destroy Iraq's underground bunkers. After research, the Americans spent four weeks to modify a batch of bunker-buster bombs with the barrel of a 203mm cannon. This is the GBU-28. .??.

The first time it was used, the U.S. military dropped two GBU-28 bunker-buster bombs with an F-111. The bombs penetrated the outer layer of the bunker and exploded inside. Just one strike caused the death of thousands of Iraqi civilians.

But when the United States attacked Afghanistan, it launched military operations in a mountainous country like Afghanistan, and Afghanistan has a tradition of using caves and tunnels to fight in history. So why didn't the United States use bunker-buster bombs frequently before? It's because the caves in the mountains are different from the underground tunnels dug out on the flat ground.

It's okay if there is a mountain covering tens of meters above the cave, but if there is a mountain covering hundreds of meters, or even hundreds of meters, the bunker-buster bomb can't penetrate it anyway.

It's not worth it for the United States to design a bunker-buster bomb specifically for the enemy in Afghanistan. After all, they can still win the final victory by using missiles worth millions of dollars to blow up tents, but this technical demand has arisen, so a technical team that is not too urgent but a little necessary has come into being.

That is to use existing mature technologies to try to improve the efficiency and power of existing equipment.

Well, now it has been verified. Gao Guang and his team used the third-generation GBU-28 to blow up a typical mountain tunnel, proving that the combined combat method of geological exploration and earth-penetrating bombs is very effective.

And only one bomb was used, and it was successful.

This experiment is still different from actual combat. I don’t know how Hank should report it to his superiors. After all, this large-scale military operation was a private job.

Do you want another one?

Since it is effective, the bomb can successfully penetrate the rock and soil layer of the mountain and explode, so it stands to reason that another one should be thrown.

But the power of this bomb seems to be enough, and the terrain below is two mountains

sandwiched by a ditch. According to common sense, if there is a hole on the mountain on the right, then there should be a hole on the mountain on the left.

The valley is generally due south and due north. Now the mountain on the west side is being bombed. The entrance and exit have been observed here, and the mountain wall on the east side is slightly steeper in comparison, and there are discontinuous stone cliffs. But I don’t know if the earth-penetrating bomb can penetrate the mountain with more stones on this side.

According to the assumption, after the cave on the west side was blown up, even if there was a cave on the east side of the mountain, the people inside should have run out. Knock the mountain to scare the tiger, this is the real knock the mountain to scare the tiger.

It really knocked the mountain and directly shocked the tiger to death. As long as he was not dead, he should have escaped from the obviously unreliable cave.

"The exploration team will also explore the mountain on the other side. If conditions permit, drop the earth-penetrating bomb again." Hank ordered again.

Now no one can be seen coming out of the bombed cave. Gao Guang guessed that everyone inside was killed. Even if the mountain did not collapse and the cave was not completely sealed, the people inside would not survive.

But the actual situation always seems to be against Gao Guang. No one ran out of the mountain on the east side, but a few people staggered out of the cave on the west side.

"They're not dead yet? It seems the space inside is big enough."

Hank said in surprise, and then immediately said: "Add another bomb. I don't believe anyone can survive inside." The F15 fighter jet was in the sky. After receiving the order, it immediately dropped the second bunker-buster bomb. The large GBU-28 dropped it like it was free.

After a while, the ground shook, and then shook again. This time, the dust on the ground was higher and more. After just a few seconds, several flames suddenly spurted out from the bottom of the mountain.

Finally, the second bomb drilled into the cave and exploded, and the shock wave sprayed out through the pores.

It is 100% confirmed that the bomb exploded after entering the cave, and it is 100% guaranteed that no one can survive within the power range. I still have to add more to feel at ease.

But if Yuri is in this cave, it will be a bit troublesome.

The trouble is that it is impossible to identify the body. Even if Yuri has a body left, there is absolutely no way to identify it. Gao Guang hopes that Yuri is inside, but he also hopes that he is not. He feels a little conflicted.

The two planes flew to the top of the mountain on the east side. They wanted to replicate the scene just now, that is, to explore first and then drop bombs. Anyway, there are four GBU-28s, and it would be a waste if they are not used. If the effect is good, they will be used, and if the effect is not good, they will still be used.

But after the second bomb exploded inside the mountain on the west, the enemies on the other side finally couldn't hide. Someone started to investigate from the previous few times and there was no trace of it.

Escaped through the secret door that could be found.

"Kill them, wait! Don't use cannons, don't use missiles, use machine guns, leave the bodies for identification."

Right, if everyone is gone if you use a cannon, how can you identify the body? It's better to shoot with a gun. At least you can leave a whole body.

The exploration team landed and started working, while the armed helicopters fired along the bottom of the ditch to escape the few scattered enemies. The work on the top of the mountain and on the bottom of the valley was carried out at the same time, and everything went smoothly.

This battle was a bit boring.

Speaking of intense, fighter-bombers were dispatched, bombs were dropped, and armed helicopters opened fire. It sounded lively.

But it doesn't matter if it's not intense. After all, I didn't see many enemy shadows, so I always felt like something was missing.

After waiting for a few more minutes to check out the terrain on the east side, Gao Guang received Hank's report.

"The bad news is that the terrain is limited. The mountain on the left is too thick and too hard. The size of the cave is much smaller than that on the opposite side, and most of them are not connected to each other. The good news is, let the plane adjust the bombing angle, diagonally to the forty-five Throwing the bomb in at an angle can also have an effect."

There is good news and bad news, but overall it is not a big problem.

Hank also informed Gao Guang that the bomb that should be thrown must be thrown directly, because there was no way Hank could save a mere $100,000 for Gao Guang.

Just as Hank finished speaking, a huge fireball suddenly appeared on the cliff to the east. This was not a good sign. It meant that the ground-penetrating bomb exploded before it could penetrate deep enough and failed to enter the cave.

"Uh, it seems like it was hit crookedly."

Hank's voice sounded a little regretful, and then he continued: "There is also the last large earth-penetrating bomb. Save it and use it instead for small bombs."

Gao Guang thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, let's go down."

When ground troops enter the scene, the level of danger will definitely be much higher, but as it is now, in terms of the enemy's counterattack methods and intensity, Gao Guang really doesn't think there is any problem.

The main reason is that Gao Guang is used to wearing heavy body armor and fighting with enemy bullets. He is not afraid of this kind of face-to-face battle, so how can he be afraid of enemies who are sealed in a cave and cannot come out.

Another thing, Gao Guang really wanted to catch a few people alive, at least to make sure Yuri was here. If he really wanted to blow everyone up with bombs, he asked who would go.

Hank didn't say anything. After all, in a battle of this level, it was hard for him to worry about Gao Guang. "Attention all units, ground troops are entering, be careful to avoid accidental injuries, and pay attention to cover." Ground troops, that is high-light command.

"Starting to land, the War Group personnel landed from both ends of the valley, and then moved closer to the middle. The shadows and us landed directly at the bottom of the valley. Note

Pay attention to the location of enemy fire. "

You may be attacked by enemy fire when you land, so it is still a bit dangerous to land directly at the bottom of the valley.

However, there was only a slight danger, and Gao Guang wanted to save time, so he was too lazy to descend from the top of the other side and then walk down the mountain step by step.

Land directly, save at least half an hour, and get it done quickly.

High technology vs. no technology, absolute firepower advantage vs. no firepower. In this case, it is really difficult to be cautious with highlights.

The helicopter landed, and they didn't encounter any obstruction. So far, they haven't been able to fire a single bullet out of the cave.

From the sky, the ditch between the two mountains is very narrow, but when you look at it from the ground, the ditch is very wide. It must be one thousand meters long.

The position where Gao Guang and the others landed was about seven or eight hundred meters away from the mountain on the east side. This distance was enough for the heavy machine gun to exert its firepower. If there are still people in the cave, then they are either too scared to fire a shot, or they are extremely experienced and will not waste a bullet.

There is no middle option, no third possibility, because if the enemy is a common team, the most common level, then they should use heavy machine guns to shoot at this time.

When the helicopter landed, Francisco jumped out first, then Patrick, and the third one was the highlight.

The terrain at the valley bottom is very simple and flat, lacking terrain that can be used as a shelter. Of course, it is still uneven overall, but if the cave on the east side also has a certain height, then they will have no cover for the highlights.

Francisco raised an unfolded shield in front of Gao Guang. Gao Guang did not reject Francisco's kindness. He just glanced at it and said, "Do you think the enemy is unwilling to expose his position and therefore refuses to shoot, or is he planning to wait for me to get closer?" Then fire."

David jumped off the plane and said in a deep voice: "Hide your position to avoid being attacked by our planes. The Afghan people have learned to be smart. They will not waste bullets, let alone expose their position to be bombed. "

After finishing speaking, David sniffed and said with emotion: "The Afghans are better at fighting than the Iraqis. Although the Afghans are poorer and more backward, they are tougher and smarter. If the Iraqis were sheep, , then the Afghans are wolves.”

David spoke highly of the Afghans, but this was not a head-on battle.

Gao Guang felt that what David said made sense, so he immediately said: "Then let's bomb it again. If the bombing effect is not good, just bomb it a few more times. It can always reduce the degree of danger."

Gao Guang picked up the microphone from the huge radio, and then he said calmly: "Blow it up again, don't worry about what kind of bomb it is, blow it up at the place where the enemy might be hiding first, you can't take the things you bought with money back, so just use it."
