249: Chapter 247 Rocket Launchers and Rocket-Propelled Grenades
On the beach, there was a cacophony of wails and screams.
The mbers of the Skull Gang, trapped and facing encirclent, their supporters on the lifeboats—those alive yelled, the wounded howled in pain, and only the dead were silent.
Seeing that the situation was settled, Gao Yang, while slightly relieved, couldn’t help feeling terrified.
He had been a re step from death, escaping the barrel of a top marksman’s gun with his life.
Aside from feeling terrified, Gao Yang also felt rage; he couldn’t fathom how the attackers had infiltrated the village so easily.
Although he wanted clarity, Gao knew that now was not the ti to investigate the reasons.
The priority was to eliminate the remaining attackers.
The heavy machine guns had been brought to the beach to establish a makeshift machine gun position.
In their urgency, only two heavy machine guns had arrived for support, but that was already enough.
Whether the attackers stayed on the beach or jumped into the sea in desperation, they couldn’t escape being torn to shreds by 12.7 mm bullets.
Despite the situation being under control, the attackers trapped on the beach were not completely powerless.
Their shooting was extrely precise, and they all wore heavy bulletproof vests.
Even though the distance of the firefight was only about a hundred ters, the bullets from AK47s and AK74s could only incapacitate the attackers if they hit unprotected vital points.
While the heavy machine guns could inflict fatal damage, after two rounds of gunfire, mbers of the Skull Gang were still falling.
Gao, who had approached the village again, went into battle himself, using his precise shooting to accelerate the destruction of the attackers.
But just after he had taken two shots and ensured the death of a particularly precise shooter, Lee Jinfang, who was guarding him, suddenly shouted urgently, “Look out to sea, mortars!
Beware of shelling!”
Two boats at sea had turned on their lights, revealing a large ship with a displacent of at least five hundred tons, which rushed over to assist the attackers, who were surrounded on three sides and had lost their sea retreat.
Running the risk of exposure, the large ship approached with lights blazing, offering comfort and direction to the trapped attackers and seeking to draw so of the gunfire from the shore.
Most importantly, the approaching ship also had heavy firepower.
Gao was already lying on the ground.
Upon hearing the familiar “whoosh” “whoosh” sounds, he remained still, knowing that unless his luck was incredibly poor and a mortar shell landed right beside him, there was no need to worry about being hit.
Three mortar shells landed near the machine gun position, and the fact that three shells landed simultaneously indicated that there were at least three mortars on the ship, and the accuracy of the shells from the ship was deadly precise, silencing the two heavy machine guns almost instantly.
“Big Dog, do you see the big ship at sea?
Aim at its lights and fire!
And where are those damned machine gunners?
So many guns sitting idle—get them all turned around!”
“Big Dog received, rocket launcher is targeting, about to cover fire.
The heavy machine guns can’t get through for now, they’re all disoriented…
F**k, those damned machine gunners are nowhere to be found!”
Since they couldn’t see the target, the rocket launchers had been unable to fire effectively, and mortars could only shoot illumination rounds, so the Skull Gang’s rocket launchers had not yet made an impact.
However, when the ship coming to assist the attackers revealed itself, the rocket launchers finally had a chance to be effective.
By then, the large ship had co within less than seven hundred ters from the coast, which was the limit.
The ship had run aground, and moving any further forward would certainly cause it to beco stranded.
Therefore, the ship stopped advancing and continued to fire shells into the fishing village.
Moreover, two speedboats launched from behind the large vessel, racing towards the coast at high speed.
The attackers’ formidable combat power and tenacious style greatly surprised Gao Yang.
Under extrely adverse conditions, not a single attacker surrendered, nor did their reinforcents give up on the rescue.
Furthermore, despite the bombardnt by four mortars, the Skull Gang, who had the absolute nurical advantage, was unexpectedly unable to take down the re dozen remaining attackers on the beach.
By the ti the mortars on the ship fired their fifth round, the Type 63 107mm rocket launchers finally joined the battle.
Glolov preferred to let the large vessel show off its might a little longer, aiming to unleash ten rocket launchers simultaneously to achieve the maximum concentration and surprise in firepower.
He intended to give the large vessel no ti to react.
“Whoosh, whoosh,” the sounds followed one after another as nurous rockets trailing long plus of fire soared into the sky, then exploded thunderously around the large vessel on the sea’s surface.
The simultaneous launch of ten rocket launchers ant a total of one hundred and twenty rockets.
The intense explosions caused huge waves, masking the lights emitted from the large vessel.
Although rockets are not suited for siege attacks and lack precision, with one hundred and twenty rockets fired at once, even random shots were bound to hit the target, and the vessel coming to the beach’s aid was struck by four rockets in an instant.
Being hit by four rockets almost simultaneously, though all were high-explosive warheads and caused limited damage to the ship’s hull, aning there was no danger of sinking, the personnel exposed on the deck, as well as the crew mbers with inadequate protection, suffered a devastating blow.
The sudden rocket attack not only caused nurous deaths and injuries on the large vessel but also scared off the two speedboats rushing to the beach’s rescue; one speedboat turned around and fled, leaving only one speedboat continuing its lonely approach toward the shore.
Seeing the two speedboats not far from the shore, Gao Yang shouted into the walkie-talkie, “Little Fly, where is Little Fly!”
As soon as Gao Yang’s words fell, an explosion erupted at the rear of the speedboat turning to flee, followed by Frey’s breathless voice in the headset.
“I’m Little Fly, I’ve taken out a speedboat.”
Frey had arrived at the fishing village with the RPG group, but in the confined space of the village, the RPGs were virtually useless.
Moreover, during actual combat, the shooters who had perford well in training failed to et expectations.
It took a barrage of over a hundred RPG rounds to instantly destroy about fifteen rubber boats, but against the scattered remnants on the beach, the RPG shooters fired several rockets to kill just one person.
As for the speedboats, which were many tis faster than the rubber boats, the shooters had no idea where their rockets went.
Frey finally found an RPG-7 launcher with an unfired rocket, imdiately took it over, and with precise calculation of the lead, took out the fleeing speedboat with just one shot.
Having just taken out a speedboat, Frey received a command from Gao Yang.
After ending the conversation with Gao, Frey imdiately bellowed, “RPG, get
an RPG!” (To be continued.
