Battlefield Contractor

Black Mamba discovered that the Somali Youth Army’s tanks turned out to be tank units without infantry cover.

They are too experienced in how to fight against such tank forces. If there are enough infantry around to suppress it, I am afraid they will hardly have a better chance.

However, these Somali youth troops do not understand tank tactics at all. They just use tanks as artillery, and there is no concept of tank-tank coordination at all.

In other words, their infantry-tank coordination concept is that the infantry charges in the front and the tank uses artillery to cover the rear.

As for why these tanks are not protected?

The terrorists of the Somali Youth Army have no such awareness. In their opinion, how could these tanks need the protection of infantry.

The black mamba and a mercenary are busy erecting the launching tripod of the individual missile.

The other mercenaries provided cover for them.

A mercenary had already carried the rocket cartridge on his right shoulder, staring at the tank, waiting for the tank to turn around and launch. The other mercenaries also concentrated all their firepower and fired at the tank.

The terrorists of the Somali Youth Army controlled the barrel of the tank to turn the direction of the rocket launcher and fired "boom and boom".

While the other mercenaries were holding the enemy's attention, the Black Mamba and another mercenary had completed the erection of the individual missiles.

A towed missile requires a heavy tripod, a bulky thermal imaging camera protection box, a larger and longer launch tube, and it takes more time to assemble and prepare. Javelin missiles are more expensive than other missiles and their necessary parts. light.

But this lightness is only relative. It is still quite cumbersome in practice. A full weight of 22.5 kg, this weight has not been included in the backup battery.

Although this missile is designed to be carried by individual soldiers on foot, the weight is higher than the original army requirements. The weight of this system is the same as the normal combat load.

The Javelin Squad has become the most heavily deployed infantry unit in the US Army. Another two-person infantry squad that can be compared with it is the M240G Machine Gun Squad.

The black Mamba controls the missile, and the aiming system is a night vision mode with 4 times magnification, displaying a thermal image of the observation area, which is also the main viewing mode in use.

Because this mode can detect infrared radiation and find hidden troops and vehicles, the screen will display a green ratio picture, and the contrast and brightness can be adjusted.

The internal temperature of the CLU is cooled by an externally installed small cooling system, which greatly improves the sensitivity of the thermal imager, because the internal temperature of the instrument will be much lower than the detection target. The increased sensitivity allows the shooter to show the CLU In order to detect a detailed picture with a temperature difference of only a few degrees in the detection area, the black mamba must use two handles similar to those used in a modern pilot's cockpit to manipulate the image.

This mode is when the shooter aligns the screen and judges the area where the best heat signal is sent to lock the missile.

Once he completes the lock and presses one of the two triggers, it will automatically switch to the third mode, the thermal imaging mode with 9x magnification. The zooming process is similar to the automatic zooming of most modern cameras. At this time, you can also switch to the previous mode. All the modes mentioned can be completed with one click.

This process is simple to say, but it takes a lot of time to operate. This is why mercenaries are more accustomed to using anti-tank rocket launchers.

The gunfire here made Black Mamba a little uneasy. When he was sure of the target screen, he pressed the second trigger to complete the lock, and the missile was launched.

Unlike the directly aimed at the rocket launcher, the Javelin missile will fly forward a short distance and then fly vertically upwards, walking a parabola, and attacking the bottom of the armored target.

It uses a tandem cone-shaped charge warhead and is manufactured for penetrating reactive armor. The design goal of the javelin is to penetrate any tank armor. This top attack mode javelin can easily destroy the M1 Ebran tank because it can be the weakest from most tanks. Place to attack.

After the missile was launched, the black Mamba dropped the launch tube and ran back with the mercenary. They must leave the area before the enemy realizes that they are under attack.

As they ran desperately, there was a loud noise in the distance. The tank of the Somali Youth Army was destroyed by a Javelin missile.

After the Javelin missile flew high, it aimed directly at the top of the tank. The tanks of the Somali Youth Army have long been eliminated from the 1970s.

And almost all tanks have the weakest top armor, and they simply cannot withstand this kind of attack.

"Huh..." Black Mamba leaped to the ground and took a breath. Before he looked up, the enemy's machine gun was swept over. The smoke and dust billowed from where they were before.

At this time, another tank was also destroyed by a mercenary and anti-tank rocket.

"Good job, buddy." Black Mamba gave the mercenary a thumbs up.

"Swish, swish," many bullets landed in front of and behind them. Several mercenaries were chased by bullets and ran forward.

At this time, Black Mamba and his partner also ran over one after another, seeing their companion being chased by bullets from a distance.

"Get down," Black Mamba reminded loudly as he ran.

"Puff, puff" twice, two bullets knocked down the mercenary.

The other mercenaries fired rocket launchers to cover them. After the "boom and boom" rockets passed, they didn't know if they hit the enemy's tank, but the gunfire stopped anyway.

A mercenary went up and dragged down the companion who had just been hit.

They put the wounded mercenary on the ground and saw a large swath of blood on his back.

"Hold on, don't sleep." A mercenary called his name vigorously, lest he fall asleep.

At this time, mercenaries have brought first aid kits. Hastily undressed the companion, ready to bandage him. When they opened his shirt, they found a bullet passing through his chest from his back, and a lot of blood poured out from his chest.

The mercenary was bandaging and nagging, "Listen, buddy, we did a good job, you will be fine, please hold on."

The bandage that was just wrapped was instantly infiltrated by blood, wrapped in a layer, and penetrated a layer. With the loss of blood, the mercenary's body gradually stopped moving.

The mercenary who tried to save him was also silent.

Only those who have personally experienced the battlefield know what a brother is. Especially the silent pain when he saw his comrades falling down.

That kind of emotion, that kind of goodbye, that really can be called a cracked silence.

Black Mamba patted the mercenary, "It's time to go, we still have work to do."

"We can't throw him down, he is not dead yet." The mercenary whispered.

"The difference is only a few minutes, and he will die in a few minutes. If you can't save him, I can't save him. No one can save him.

But if we stay here, the enemy tanks will come over and beat us all into scum. Hurry up, we have to get out of here. "Black Mamba grabbed the mercenary and pushed him forward.
