Chapter 152: Destroy the American Army
Without hesitation, Zhang Dongliang immediately controlled the three bomb-carrying drones to lower their altitude and dropped bombs on the three jeeps one after another.
The drone dropped bombs at a relatively low altitude, and the 12 82mm high-explosive mortar shells did not make a "whoosh" sound of cutting through the air, but hit the convoy almost silently.
Zhang Dongliang underestimated the speed of the convoy and had no experience in operating drones to drop bombs. The drop was a little late, and the effect was not ideal.
Striking a moving target is different from striking a fixed target, and the lead time needs to be considered.
A mortar shell hit the third jeep, and the ammunition on the vehicle exploded. The jeep was blown to pieces on the spot, and the gasoline in the fuel tank splashed out, causing a fire.
There was no need to worry about the three American soldiers in the car, as they had already been minced into pieces.
A shell landed in the front left corner of the second jeep, and the blast turned the second jeep upside down.
Because there was a South Vietnamese woman they had kidnapped in the car, and there were four American soldiers in the second jeep.
The explosion overturned the jeep to the ground, and an American soldier was thrown several meters away, lying on the ground with his life or death unknown. The others were trapped under the car and could not get out.
The first jeep was lucky, as fragments of the exploding shells hit the driver of the first vehicle. The American soldier driving the jeep tilted his head, and the vehicle lost control and crashed into a ditch on the side of the road.
There were also three people in the first jeep. Except for the driver who was killed in the explosion, the other two American soldiers were dizzy but quickly climbed out of the jeep, quickly sought cover, and hid behind a big tree.
Both of them were very skilled and experienced in their movements, and it was obvious that they were veterans of the battlefield.
In order to reduce the probability of being discovered, Zhang Dongliang quickly put away the drone after dropping the bomb.
He didn't dare to run forward on the path, but went sideways into the jungle on both sides of the road, using the jungle's cover to advance quickly. He had to resolve the battle quickly before the American army could react.
As for whether the US military would report the attack to their superiors, Zhang Dongliang was not worried at all. The US military communication radio was in the third car and had been scrapped.
Comparing with the images just transmitted by the drone, Zhang Dongliang stopped moving forward about 80 meters away from the first jeep and quickly found a bush to hide in.
You have to be cautious when dealing with ordinary American soldiers, let alone when dealing with battlefield veterans. It won't be wrong to be more cautious.
Some people may say that it is inconvenient to hold a rifle with a silencer in the jungle. As an old sly guy who likes to shoot people in the back, Zhang Dongliang said that this is not a problem at all, you just need to get used to it.
Just like in the Vietnam War movies, American soldiers need to install bayonets on their rifles in critical situations.
The length with bayonet is almost the same as the length with silencer. Aren't they running around the jungle with bayonets installed?
It was almost noon, and the jungle was filled with heat. The infrared mode of the drone had little effect, and no trace of the two hidden American soldiers was found.
"But it doesn't matter. We still have the mental strength to cheat." Zhang Dongliang secretly encouraged himself.
He first used his mental power to scan the rear to confirm that there were no enemies within 30 meters behind him.
Zhang Dongliang was hiding in the bushes, and there were also dense bushes behind him. If he didn't scan the enemy at a distance of 30 meters, it would be difficult for the enemy to discover him with the naked eye, so Zhang Dongliang felt a little relieved.
The most feared thing on a jungle battlefield is the sudden appearance of an enemy behind you.
Then he scanned left and right again. It was safe, no enemy was found.
Zhang Dongliang stared ahead with his naked eyes and scanned the front and upward with his mental power, but still did not find any enemy.
This is strange. If the two enemies were searching in the direction of the village, they should have been encountered around here. Didn't they come in this direction?
About 20 minutes had passed since the explosion. Zhang Dongliang thought for a moment and decided to continue searching forward. If he didn't eliminate this hidden danger, the cave where his two women were hiding would not be safe.
Zhang Dongliang crouched low, became extremely alert, and moved forward slowly and cautiously.
About 50 meters away from the jeep stuck in the ditch, Zhang Dongliang vaguely sensed with his mental power that there were two people in front of him, but because the distance was a little far, the sense was not very clear.
It will be easy if you know the enemy's general location.
The two American soldiers were indeed veterans of the battlefield. They knew that if they ran around after being ambushed, they would most likely be shot and killed by the enemy hiding in the dark.
The hiding place they found was very good, with a high slope behind them, so they didn't have to worry about enemies behind them. There were few bushes in front of them, making it difficult for people to hide.
As long as they keep an eye on the area directly ahead, they can basically hold their own defense line. If their team doesn't contact the base for a long time, the base will definitely send someone to rescue them.
These two veterans were very timid, but this was the way to stay alive on the battlefield. Those who only knew how to charge in and shoot with their guns would usually die quickly.
It should be said that the two veterans were very thoughtful and they were right to do so. Unfortunately, the enemy they faced was a person with a cheat.
The plan of Zhang Dongliang and the two American veterans to have a jungle gunfight was shattered. But he had no regrets. His life was his own. No matter what method he used, it was a good method to get rid of the enemy.
So how do you kill the enemy? Dig a hole.
The two American soldiers were about 10 meters apart, and they made sure they could see each other so that they could provide timely support. At the same time, they kept a certain distance so that they could have a warning time and avoid being wiped out by the guerrillas.
Zhang Dongliang decided to deal with the American soldier who was closer to him first.
Zhang Dongliang observed and found a big tree about 10 meters ahead that was convenient for hiding. He planned to dig a hole under the tree first.
The distance is more than 10 meters. If he digs a small hole just enough for himself to pass through, he can dig it through in one go.
"I just said that I would no longer dig holes and burrow around underground like a mole, but today I did it again." Zhang Dongliang was still muttering to himself as he walked in the hole he had just dug.
Behind the big tree, Zhang Dongliang opened a small hole diagonally upwards, stuck his head out and sensed the situation forward.
"Aha, I found you." The American soldier who was closer to him could sense it more clearly this time.
Zhang Dongliang estimated the distance from the big tree where he was hiding to the hiding place of the American soldiers, which was about 35 meters.
Zhang Dongliang dug 30 meters underground in three steps, and the last 5 meters were right under the feet of the American soldiers. Zhang Dongliang took a break, and suddenly used the power of the small world to dig a big hole.
"Fuck~~" The American soldier who was lurking in the bushes could never have imagined that there would be a sudden collapse under his feet, and he fell into the big pit below.
