Chapter 341: Hiding from the Cannon

Chapter 341: Hiding from the Cannon
Feng Biao took the lead and Gao Yi followed behind.

The four people were very close to each other. If one of them was unlucky enough to be hit by a cannon, the other three would not be able to escape.

Feng Biao walked very fast. He waved to Gao Yi and the others to stop, then ran to the window of a room and showed himself. Then he quickly ran back out and shouted to the people hiding in the corridor, "Run!"

Feng Biao was still running in the front, but as he was running he suddenly lunged forward and began to crawl among the dozen or so bodies that had just been killed.

"Everyone get down and crawl forward."

Gao Yi and Lucy, who had never received military training, could only learn on the job.

A seemingly simple action is actually quite difficult to do.

After crawling for four or five meters, Feng Biao crawled into a room, and Gao Yi and the others followed him one after another, like a caterpillar.

The donkey that had just been separated was also in this room, along with a soldier from the Tomahawk Mercenaries, and two British soldiers' bodies.

The donkey sat against the wall. He looked at Feng Biao who had crawled in and said, "Hi, nice to see you again. Hmm, you're pretty smart."

Gao Yi didn't know why he had to climb in, but when he saw the donkey and one of his companions also sitting on the ground, he felt that there must be a reason.

There was a loud bang and the dust filled the air again.

No one spoke or moved. After a while, Feng Biao suddenly said, "The enemy's firing speed is not very fast. My judgment is that there are still dozens of British people here. Those Iraqis should open fire first. If there are still British people inside, then we should stop them from firing. If no one stops them, it means that all the British are dead."

The donkey whispered, "Yes."

Gao Yi was still lying on the ground. He thought that the room that was hit should be the one that Feng Biao had just shown his head.

If you don't understand, just ask. Gao Yi said softly, "What are the techniques for dodging artillery now?"

Feng Biao whispered, "Yes, first you have to know the technical performance of the M1 tank and the power of the tank gun. There are two thermal imaging cameras on the M1 tank, one for the commander and one for the gunner. If you stand and expose yourself in the window, you will definitely be discovered. If you run around in the corridor, you may not be caught at any time, so it is better to expose yourself and then quickly escape to the side."

At this time, the donkey suddenly said: "One good news and one bad news. The good news is that the tanks that came are early M1s, not the M1A2SEPs with the most advanced electronic equipment."

Feng Biao whispered, "What about the bad news?"

Donkey said calmly: "The bad news is bad enough. The tank that came is the M1A2TUSK version."

Feng Biao was stunned for a moment, then he whispered: "What's the difference?"

"TUSK is an urban survival kit version, a tank specially developed by the Americans during the occupation of Iraq for street fighting. The side skirts are equipped with explosive reactive armor, the rear of the vehicle is equipped with an anti-rocket fence, the 12.7mm heavy machine gun used by the commander is upgraded to an M153 CROWS II 7.62mm remote-controlled weapon system, and the machine gun used by the loader is equipped with a shield with a night vision sight. All of them are enhanced for street fighting, especially the ability to resist rockets."

Donkey spread his hands and said, "The Americans left most of the tank versions in Iraq in the later period to Iraq. Unfortunately, we found that even if the enemy tanks approached within 200 meters, our rocket launchers were useless. We can't say they were completely useless, but we can say they were basically useless."

Feng Biao said awkwardly, "Is it impossible to reach the top? What you said is not good news at all, it's obviously all bad news."

"It's no use attacking the roof. I tried it, but the rockets can't penetrate the protective fence on the roof."

The person who spoke was a soldier who was huddled in another corner holding a rocket launcher. He spoke in a nonchalant manner, as if the tank he was talking to was not hitting him.

As he was speaking, there was another loud bang.

Feeling the ground shaking, Gao Yi couldn't help but shrink his neck.

Donkey said calmly: "The tanks are still extending their firing, but only two tanks are firing. If I had to guess, the other two tanks are either participating in the attack on the Lego Mercenaries, or are going around to the back and preparing to fire at us from the other side."

Gao Yi sighed and said, "The British helicopter gunship has carried out a precise attack on my phone. The enemy must know that I am in this building, so I think the other two tanks are going around to the other side."

Lucy suddenly said, "Can't we go to the second or third floor? Why do we have to stay here?"

There was no fear in Lucy's tone, only confusion, so she was simply asking the question.

Donkey nodded and said, "Good question, but there is no fixed answer. As far as I understand it, it is the same on any floor. And in my experience, tank drivers will always pay special attention to the highest floors."

Feng Biao also whispered: "Bombing the first floor first is to drive them away. If we can't help but fight back, the enemy will determine their position and focus their fire, so the second floor will be bombed more severely later."

Lucy waited for a moment, and finally said, "Are we just going to be beaten like this?"

"if not?"

Donkey spread his hands and smiled: "Do you want to rush out over a distance of more than 200 meters, rush to the front of the tank, and use our only anti-tank mines that can pose a threat to the tank to blow up the enemy's tank? Not one, not two, but four tanks."

Feng Biao followed up, "There are still eight armored vehicles..."

Gao Yi couldn't help but ask: "Then how will the enemy end the battle?"

Donkey said easily: "The tanks will bomb first, basically bomb the building once, and then the armored vehicles and machine guns will fire at the rooms again, and then let the soldiers on the vehicles enter the building in small batches. As long as there is resistance in the building, we will focus on firing another round. At this point, you should have discovered that the enemy does not have any particularly good way to ensure the destruction of the resistance in the building. This is street fighting, and we always have a chance to counterattack, so what we have to do is wait quietly until the enemy infantry starts to enter, repel them, and then hide from the artillery and counterattack again until the enemy reinforcements arrive, or your reinforcements arrive."

Gao Yi said: "Is there a possibility that the enemy's infantry can carry a large number of..."

"Don't say that!" "Shut up!"

"Don't say that!"

Feng Biao, Donkey, and Lin Xianghua tried to stop Gao Yi from speaking any further.

Feng Biao said nervously: "The good ones don't work, but the bad ones do. Don't tell anyone."

Lin Xianghua nodded repeatedly on the ground.

Donkey spread his hands and said, "What we need most now is good luck, not tactics or weapons, so no matter what you are worried about, don't say it out loud."

Gao Yi was thinking, what if the infantry on the armored vehicle carried a large amount of explosives and did not attack but wanted to blow up the building.

Fortunately, they were stopped in time, because Gao Yi thought that if the enemy really did that, they would seem to have no way to stop them.

Gao Yi changed his mind and asked, "How do we defeat the armored vehicles?"

"We brought an RPG-7 launcher with four rockets. It has a longer range and can theoretically destroy four armored vehicles. But it's only theoretically possible. I won't do that."

Donkey finished speaking, and then he said helplessly: "Because if you choose to destroy the armored vehicle, the shooter basically has no chance to escape. You have to understand that concentrated fire and extended fire are different concepts."

Gao Yi looked at Feng Biao.

Feng Biao whispered, "Extended firing is actually the concept of a howitzer, but here you just need to understand it as firing from one end to the other in sequence."

"Okay, then wait."

Gao Yi sat up slowly, and then he whispered: "We are just going to wait here, right?"

"Do not."

The donkey was sitting, but now he slowly lay on the ground, and then he said seriously: "I never stay with rookies, because newcomers die quickly. Although I really hope you can survive and pay, but... I value my own life more. Sorry, I don't want to be with you, so I'm leaving."

There was another loud bang, and this time the location of the explosion seemed to be a little farther away. Just as Feng Biao said, the enemy was extending their firing.

The donkey crawled past Gao Yi, but his companion just sat there holding the rocket launcher without moving.

The donkey didn't say hello to his companions, but just crawled out slowly, and no one knew which room he went to.

Gao Yi couldn't help but said to the remaining one: "Aren't you leaving?"

"No, unlike the donkey, I like to be with newcomers. Twice, newcomers died in front of me, and nothing happened to me. I think... this time should be the same."

"You are really good at talking."

Gao Yi replied unhappily, then sighed and said, "We can't just leave it like this, this is too frustrating, no, I have to think of a way."

It is not realistic to fight it out by yourself, but you can't have a bunch of friends all active when there are benefits, but no one cares when something goes wrong.

So at this point, we all have to contribute.

The first person Gao Yi thought of was Panetta.

Such a big mistake has happened, and the first person to be blamed is Panetta's poor intelligence. He failed to notice such a big move by the Liberty Wind faction. If not him, who else can we blame?

It feels a bit weird to call at this time, and it may not be useful, but it is better than waiting to be beaten and doing nothing.

Gao Yi took out the satellite phone, found the number, and called Panetta.

The first time, I didn’t answer.

Gao Yi was so angry that he called a second time, but still no one answered.

There is no other way. Panetta might have gone into hiding and this call can no longer be reached.

Just when Gao Yi was thinking about who to call next, his phone suddenly rang, and looking at the number, it was Panetta calling.

Gao Yi answered the phone and heard Panetta whisper, "I'm in the White House. I know you're in a difficult situation. I'll contact you later while I figure out a solution."

These words do contain a lot of information.

Gao Yi was stunned for a moment while holding the phone, but finally said: "You'd better hurry up..."

Panetta hung up the phone, but it is not known whether he heard it.
