From mercenary to king of war

Fifteen kilometers away from the Amran base.

This is a plain area outside Amran. Except for a low mountain, it is surrounded by endless flat land.

The sparse trees on the short mountain illustrate the desolation of this place, and the weeds almost half a person's height below the short mountain can form a natural hiding spot.

The surroundings have a wide view, and the low mountain has become the most suitable place for ambush and concealment in the vicinity.

The 1st Marine Brigade of the Yan Luo Military Group and the 7th Company and 3rd Platoon of the 4th Infantry War Battalion are ambushing here at the moment.

The task they received was to intercept and block U.S. ground troops that might pass through here.

Near the third platoon of the seventh company, there are several other combat platoons of the seventh company.

However, due to the flat terrain around them, the seventh and third platoons were at least a few kilometers away from the other platoons.

Liu Peng is the squad leader of the third squad of the third platoon of the seventh company, and he is an authentic Hua nationality.

After retiring from the Hua Army at the end of last year, Liu Peng came to the Yan Luo Military Group under the introduction of his former comrades.

At first, Liu Peng just came here to make quick money.

But as he stayed in the Yama Military Group for longer and longer, he gradually developed feelings for the place.

This time, Liu Peng felt that he was fighting against the US military on behalf of the Yama Military Group, not just to make money.

But if he was asked to say what else he wanted, Liu Peng couldn't tell.

"Dapeng, don't you always brag that you served as a scout in the Hua Army? Look at the surrounding environment. From which direction do you think the US military will appear?"

Next to Liu Peng, an Asian young man who looked to be in his early twenties at most said to Liu Peng.

This Asian young man is named Wang Song and is a Singaporean.

Wang Song joined the 7th Company and 3rd Platoon later, so Liu Peng, as a veteran, has always taken good care of Wang Song after he joined the 7th Company and 3rd Platoon.

Over time, the relationship between the two became increasingly close.

So every time they take action, they are also the two people in the third platoon who communicate most frequently.

Wang Song has a non-military background. The biggest reason why he joined the Yama Military Group is because he has good gun skills.

Wang Song practiced his marksmanship in a shooting club in Singapore. Wang Song came from a good family, and he came to the Yama Military Group more for what he called excitement.

"If nothing else happens, the US military should appear from the ten o'clock direction. Because the terrain there is flat and there are few obstacles, it will be more convenient for ground troops to march from that direction than other directions."

Liu Peng looked ahead and told Wang Song his analysis in a slow tone.

"real or fake?"

Wang Song had no experience in this area, so he was still somewhat dubious about Liu Peng's observations.

"Dapeng is still quite capable. His prediction is correct. If the US military is really coming towards us, they will most likely come from the direction Dapeng said. The rocket shooters are all ready with anti-tank rockets. Just in case the other side’s tanks come to us.”

Charles, the commander of the third platoon, said without looking back.

There are more than 40 people in the third platoon here, and they have more than 20 anti-tank rockets in their hands.

Coupled with two light machine guns and one heavy machine gun, the third row has quite sufficient firepower.

About three minutes passed, and in the headsets of everyone in the three rows, a message came from their superiors telling them that a US military force was approaching them.

This kind of prompt does not have detailed personnel and equipment data, so before seeing this US military with their own eyes, the people in the third platoon did not know what kind of US ground forces they would fight with later.

"Every unit is preparing to fight, and there is a US military force coming towards us."

When the superior prompts in the headset ended, Charles immediately shouted.

As Charles's voice fell, everyone in the three rows immediately adjusted their postures.

Several soldiers in charge of anti-tank rockets directly carried the anti-tank rockets on their shoulders.

Everyone was on alert, and even Wang Song, who loved talking the most, honestly shut his mouth at this moment.

Not long after, the roar of the engine reached the ears of everyone in the three rows.

After a while, several US military tanks and personnel carriers appeared in the direction Liu Peng had mentioned before.

This is a small group of US troops. They are probably here to avoid the bombardment.

The distance between the convoys is wide, which makes the operation of the three rows of rocket shooters a little more difficult.

"Attention, the enemy has appeared at the ten o'clock direction, ready to engage the enemy!"

As the small group of US troops entered the shooting range of the third platoon, Charles also issued the final preparation notice.

The three rows of soldiers in various hiding places on the low mountain also raised their weapons and pointed them in the direction of the US military.

"beat!"

Without any unnecessary nonsense, after Charles gave the order, the sound of gunfire resounded throughout the plain instantly.

"Da da da!!!"

"Da da da!!!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!"

"..."

A total of three tanks arrived from the US military, and three rows of five soldiers responsible for operating anti-tank rockets immediately fired their anti-tank rockets towards the US tanks.

The battle begins instantly!

The US military also lived up to their reputation as an elite. After encountering the ambush of the third platoon, they quickly organized an effective counterattack.

The formation of the convoy was very fast, not giving the third row much time to concentrate their firepower on them.

The two sides were shooting at each other from a distance of hundreds of meters, but the first salvo of rockets from the three rows only knocked out the leftmost tank on the US side.

The remaining two U.S. tanks did not stop moving because of the ambush. After being hit by the first round of anti-tank rockets, they immediately began to turn their muzzles, preparing to attack the short mountain where the third platoon was located. fight back.

"boom!!!!!"

"boom!!!!!"

As soon as the tank's muzzle was aimed at the short mountain, the two tanks launched artillery attacks on the short mountain one after another.

Perhaps because of the better luck of the US military, the first round of shelling actually caused four casualties among the three rows of soldiers.

"Platoon leader, Lao Toli's leg is broken and he has lost his combat effectiveness. Payton should have injured his ribs and needs to be reset and treated. Lao Hei and Gou Xiong are out of breath..."

After encountering the shelling, the third platoon did not fight as calmly as before.

While the brothers in the platoon were treating the wounded, Charles, who was under pressure to stop the enemy, could only continue to issue more risky orders.

"Treat the wounded, take them to hiding places, and pay attention to avoid shelling!"

"We can't let their tanks continue to bombard us! Liu Peng, take the people to go around from the left. The distance is too far and it is difficult for our anti-tank rockets to lock on to the target. We must let the rocket shooters get closer!"

"The machine gun team strengthens the fire suppression to buy Liu Peng and the others time to get closer!"

"Communications Corps, contact the surrounding friendly forces as soon as possible and ask them to come and support us as soon as possible!"
