Chapter 323 You Can't Be Reliable To Ask For Your Monthly Pass
7pm
Second crash site.
Markham Road, which had been going crazy all afternoon, also returned to calm as night fell, and the Somalis who crowded the street gradually dispersed.
Only Aidid's armed militia were left, hiding in dark corners to monitor the crash site.
Just in case the duck you got flies away.
On the defensive line at the crash site, Long Zhan and others also retreated into the house at this time, helping each other treat their wounds.
Bandage when it's time to bandage, stop bleeding when it's time to stop bleeding.
Only Suhat and Gordon were left behind to remain on guard outside to prevent the Somalis, who were known to use all kinds of tricks, from launching a sneak attack.
The people in the Delta continued to work, and the SEAL Team 6 went back to the house to rest. This was not "more people bullying less people".
A sniper.
Observation and vigilance is my old profession.
The most important thing is that the two of them are snipers, and the combat method itself is very cumbersome. They basically take one shot and then hide in the bunker. The probe firing time is short, and the possibility of exposing body parts to be hit by the enemy is low.
It is not as dangerous as a machine gunner. Continuous firing means long-term exposure of the body.
During the whole afternoon's battle, apart from being scratched a little by the splashed stones, the two of them had nothing to do. There was no need to bandage their wounds at all.
The wound was almost treated, Sonny said: "Report on the ammunition situation."
"I only have one left."
Clay patted the magazine bag on his chest. The upper and lower rows of bags were basically flattened, leaving only one magazine left on the upper right side.
"There are still a dozen rounds left in the rifle, and the rest..."
Brian pulled out the P226 pistol from his thigh, pulled down the gun cover and said, "The pistol still has three magazines, so it can be used for a while."
"This is the only magazine I have, and there are probably more than 300 rounds in the gun."
The magazine bag on Long Zhan's chest had long been lost, and the single bag of magazine boxes hanging around his waist was also gone, making him look smaller.
"This thing of mine can only be used as a baseball bat."
Sonny pulled the trigger of the MK46, and there was only a click sound, and the expression on his face was one of depression and irritation.
"I still have……"
"Keep your water gun safe."
Durant also wanted to report the ammunition, but Sonny pushed him back impatiently, making Durant blush and feel embarrassed.
I feel guilty at the same time.
If it hadn't been to save him, everyone in front of him would not be in the current crisis. As a procrastinator, he was not qualified to say anything.
"Man, you did a good job this afternoon."
Long Zhan patted Durant's shoulder encouragingly to resolve the embarrassment caused by the irritable Sonny, frowned and said: "Continuing like this is not an option.
The Somalis will definitely not give up. There will definitely be another battle after they have rested.
If we continue to stay here and cannot move, once the bullets run out, we will all become sheep to be slaughtered, either captured alive or shot to death indiscriminately.
Sonny, why don't you ask the command center again when will the ground troops to rescue us come? Can they drop supplies for us?"
"There was intensive gunfire from the direction of the first crash site just now. Maybe they are already taking action," Clay added.
"These damn politicians insist on making a problem so complicated when they can easily solve it by sending ghost gunships to bomb all the way."
Sonny complained dissatisfiedly, and then pressed the radio to call: "Romeo 64, this is Suit 64, how long will it take for the ground troops to come?"
"Romeo 64 received it. The combat center has sent people to negotiate with the United Nations forces. When the time comes, a convoy of tanks and armored vehicles will enter the city for rescue. Please continue to stand by."
Lieutenant Colonel Harrell has been transferred from the helicopter to the "Porcupine Building" of the airport.
The Porcupine Building is the nickname of the combat center because its roof is covered with various antennas and radars, so the people at the base used this nickname.
"Romeo 64, I need to know the time, the specific time. Our ammunition has been exhausted and we can no longer hold on."
When Sonny heard that the tank and armored convoy was coming, he was not happy at all, but became even more angry.
The headquarters has been drawing a big pie.
One moment it was said that a convoy of Humvees was coming to rescue them, the next moment it was said that the Delta Team was rushing there on foot, and the next moment it was said that the 10th Mountain Division had set off.
As a result, all the support mentioned has not been seen yet.
After experiencing so many hopes and disappointments, Sonny was tired of all the pie-in-the-sky thinking. He just wanted the most practical information.
Lieutenant Colonel Harrell did not reply immediately because he did not know how long it would take.
The only information available is...
Staff Officer Cribbs and Major General Montgomery, the commander-in-chief of the United Nations conventional forces in Somalia, have been negotiating with the Pakistani and Malaysian military commands to lease their tanks and armored vehicles for rescue.
At the same time, he also called Italian army commanders and asked them to send dozens of tanks to Mogadishu.
Italian troops are stationed farther away, as far away as ElBaradei, 30 miles away from Mogadishu.
If the tanks and armored vehicles of the combat force are all in the same headquarters, they can be mobilized immediately with an order and can arrive in Mogadishu within an hour.
Lieutenant Colonel Harrell could pat his chest and say that the ground troops would definitely arrive within an hour.
But tanks and armored vehicles need to be seconded, and this has become an international matter.
The commands of Pakistan, Malaysia and Italy all need to notify the country first and obtain permission from their respective domestic governments before they can agree to secondment armored tanks.
This is the beginning.
It will also take a lot of time to formulate the subsequent rescue plan, how to coordinate the forces of various countries, and the preparations for the departure of tanks and armored vehicles.
Two hours, three hours, or even more.
Lieutenant Colonel Harrell could not give an answer, nor could he give a despairing answer. He could only continue to deceive: "The tank convoy is already preparing. Hold on, we will definitely rescue you."
"Oh, I want to persist..." Clay let out a long sigh.
Basically know the result!
Sonny was so angry that his head hurt, and he almost cursed on the radio.
It took a lot of effort to suppress his temper, no longer bothered with the ground troops, and asked a simpler question: "We are in urgent need of ammunition supplies to survive. Can you send a helicopter to airdrop supplies to us?"
When Sonny asked this question, there was another long silence.
Black Hawk helicopters are currently undergoing emergency repairs. The only intact Super 68 Black Hawk has become a "seriously injured" after returning from a trip just now.
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, www. Install the latest version. 】
The only thing that can move is the Bird Helicopter, but he can't transport supplies with this thing.
The most important thing is that because of the emergence of anti-aircraft guns, the second crash point was designated as a high-risk area. Without a Black Hawk with good performance, it would not dare to enter.
Lieutenant Colonel Harrell, who had been silent for a long time, could only tell Sonny truthfully: "The command center cannot determine how many anti-aircraft guns there are near the second crash point, and it is temporarily unable to provide air support to you."
"Fuck, fuck you."
Sonny couldn't hold it in any longer and started spitting sweet scents directly into the radio.
"Suit 64, please stay calm. I believe that with your ability, you will be able to persist until the convoy arrives. We will also try our best to provide all assistance."
Harrell was helpless when he was scolded. He could understand Sonny's mood at the moment.
Sonny was too lazy to talk nonsense and ended the communication directly.
"It seems that we can't sit still and wait for death. We have to find a way to solve the problem ourselves."
Long Zhan suddenly stood up from the ground, looked around at everyone and said loudly: "Since others cannot be relied on, then we must rely on ourselves."
What is an amazing word?
This is!
Sonny, Clay, Brian and Durant were all shocked by Long Zhan's words, and at the same time they were curious about how Long Zhan could save himself.
You must know that with their current situation, no matter what they do, it is basically a dead end.
Unless friendly forces really come to support, or you take a risk and take a gamble, abandon this defensive point and rush to join other ranger troops at night.
