Chapter 5127: Bloody battle

Lin Rui deployed a total of six mercenary teams in the first line. In order to support the offense and effectively defend the first line of positions, each position is equipped with sufficient firepower.
On average, one company was assigned, with four heavy machine guns and multiple light machine guns and bazookas. In order to cooperate with their offensive, each squadron was equipped with mortar platoons to provide infantry support.
This is already a very strong firepower in ordinary African military operations. But doing so also requires ample ammunition support.
Lin Rui and the actuary knew this well, so the machine gun firepower was basically used to organize the front line defense. Mainly to defend the enemy's offensive, to delay the consumption of medicine.
"Report, there is an abnormal movement in the front enemy position. The enemy is strengthening the front position." A mercenary ran over to report. The reconnaissance troops on the front line detected the situation near the enemy's position from a distance.
"Notify the troops, gather on the spot, pay attention to concealment, and continue to send people to reconnaissance." Lin Rui instinctively felt that this was a counterattack action by the enemy, and let the mercenaries prepare before the battle.
The second-line position is related to Braque's control. In this battle, both the enemy and the enemy are well aware that it is inevitable.
Due to the continuous advancement of mercenaries, both sides have been restricted by positions, and the area of ​​engagement is gradually shrinking.
As a result of the narrow space, the tactical changes that both sides can perform are already quite limited. In the current combat, the two sides are fighting for their respective high-level command capabilities and the execution capabilities of the troops.
After giving the order, Lin Rui looked down at the watch on his wrist. He was a little anxiously waiting for the battle to come.
The sky at this moment was completely shrouded by dark clouds, and it was dim all around. It will be dark in a few hours.
The soldiers of the Orumi Federal Army were quietly waiting to enter the attack sequence.
On the front line, the mercenary soldiers of the Trident Company were also waiting quietly.
The position is relatively quiet.
But just a few minutes later, the third mercenary squadron on the northwest side of the first-line position suddenly opened fire.
A dozen figures in front of the position, bent over, rushed to the front line with skillful tactics.
Suddenly this rare silence was shrouded in the sound of gunfire like firecrackers.
The light and heavy machine gun pulled out a long tongue of flame and moved towards the enemy's position.
The long bursts of violent assault rifles and the flames from the sniper rifles in the dark brought a sharp scream to all objects that might seem to be human.
"Firefight." Lin Rui and the actuary exchanged glances, their faces were full of sternness.
The third squadron of mercenaries is playing an important role in attracting the enemy's offensive line.
The second squadron on the southern position only needs to direct its fire to the enemy's offensive line to form cross-wing fire. Can easily block off the enemy's offensive.
The Orumi Federal Army, who had just touched it, was swept down by a large area just rushing through the guard post, but a small part of it still rushed up.
But they were shot and killed without exception at the front of the position.
The commanding mercenary of the Third Mercenary Squadron, a black man who has joined the French nationality, was yelling loudly in French mixed with African dialects.
"Pay attention to defense and reinforce the damaged bunker. Bring me some spirits! This is just the beginning!" The black squadron leader roared, almost his whole person could only see the mouth full of white teeth.
In the front-line attack area, machine guns were cross-fired, and grenades were thrown randomly, and grenades exploded wherever they rolled.
The third squadron is exerting its full combat effectiveness, and with the cooperation of the second squadron, it is fully suppressing the offensive Orumi Federal Army. The two sides are at a stalemate in the first line, and they are repeatedly fighting for every inch of land.
The fierce gunfire sounded until night fell.
Behind the Orumi Federal Army camp, the canvas on several heavy trucks slowly pulled apart, revealing rows of launchers in the vertebral body.
The projectile was black and shiny, and several technicians fiddled with something on the tail of the projectile, and then immediately dispersed.
At the same time, the two nearby multi-tube transmitters were illuminated, and the elevation tube was continuously rotated, revealing the same sharp cone.
The soldiers of the Federal Army of Orumi ran back and forth.
"The launch preparation is complete, the evacuation of nearby personnel is complete, and they are ready to enter the launch." The soldiers of the Orumi Federal Army kept reporting.
Just as the battle between the two sides came to the end of today. A sharp and piercing roar suddenly erupted from the back of the position.
The dense rockets ejected flames and thick smoke, slid through the trajectory one after another in the air, and landed on a line of positions.
The huge fireball and shock wave swallowed a line of positions at once. The violent explosion hit the air wave swept through, and countless shrapnel exploded. The first position was peeled off abruptly. The fortifications on the ground were all affected.
"Fire warning! Enter the bunker!" the mercenary howled, looking for all possible bunkers in the flames of war.
The line of positions was plowed fiercely by the enemy's hidden firepower. A whole blockbuster explosion.
The mercenaries who had no time to escape were flooded by the explosion.
After the violent explosion, the gravel in the sky, the sand, and the broken pieces of human flesh with blood foam, fell one after another.
The entire front-line position seemed to have experienced a violent earthquake. The mercenaries were suppressed in the bunker and couldn't even lift their heads.
After Lin Rui and the actuary learned the information from the front line, they all nodded.
"Their heavy firepower was finally exposed.
Judging from this degree of firepower, it is estimated to be 122mm, multiple rocket launchers.
The number is more than one. It may be a hail rocket launcher made in Russia. "The actuary said in a low voice.
This hail rocket launcher is a classic weapon. It was equipped with the Soviet army in 1964, and it has been popular for 50 years and sold in more than 50 countries. Many countries still use it to this day.
Because this kind of rocket has many characteristics, light weight, high rate of fire, and fierce firepower. And it's sudden. As for the intensive shooting of large-area targets at long distances.
The biggest feature is its fierce firepower.
Hail rockets have a total of forty barrels, and one salvo can fire forty rockets in 20 seconds.
If it is a salvo of a formed battalion, it can fire 720 rockets in 20 seconds. The total amount of ammunition is more than forty tons.
The amount of projected ammunition is almost equivalent to the amount of ammunition fired by the US artillery division in one salvo.
It can be said that the army units of African countries can obtain the strongest artillery firepower.
After all, in African countries, cheap and practical is king. This rocket launcher is obviously more economical than more advanced tornado rocket launchers.
Lin Rui's expression was like a sigh of relief. He looked at the actuary and whispered, "Finally, they still couldn't calm down.
I want to use artillery clusters to cover when our forces are gathering on the first line. Fortunately, the number of their hail rocket launchers is not very large. "
