Chapter 28: Ambush
New York is not very far from the DCHSD Special District, only about 300 kilometers.
SWAT dispatched three wheeled armored vehicles to escort the suspects, and a total of 25 members were responsible for bodyguard work.
Under normal circumstances, it takes less than four hours to reach Washington. Three escort vehicles are passing through Queens and preparing to enter Manhattan Island. After that, they will go south through the Lincoln Tunnel and get on the highway to Washington, DC.
The convoy is currently traveling on an elevated road in Queens.
"Oh, it looks like the other members will be very busy today." There is naturally an internal SWAT radio in the escort vehicle, and the information about SWAT's deployment coming from the radio can be heard.
A member of the escort team said with a smile.
At least escorting stuff to Washington was a pretty easy job. Besides the driver, the others might have squinted their eyes a bit in the car.
The other team members in the car seemed to be more casual, and the only one who remained fully alert was the team's commander, Mike Tavish.
He is a man who takes his work extremely seriously. "Guys, I think I better keep my guard up and don't let down my guard."
"I understand, boss. But it should be okay to sing in the car." A team member replied with a smile.
While the team members were joking with each other, problems arose on the road ahead.
A large container truck seemed to have its tires slipping and the entire vehicle lost control. Finally, with the efforts of the driver, the vehicle was stuck across the middle of the road.
"Don't stop, the rear vehicle becomes the front vehicle," the whole team turned around and headed to Washington via Commander Mike quickly gave the order, "All team members are on alert. I require that the heavy machine guns on all armored vehicles be ready to fire at any time."
Mike's orders were well-organized, not only because he was an excellent squad commander, but also because he was an excellent sniper.
Snipers are required to remain calm under any circumstances, and Mike brought this style into his command.
Under Mike's command, all the teammates stopped laughing. As one of the world's top urban warfare expert units, the SWAT team has excellent tactical qualities.
Everyone began to enter combat status, the safety bolts of the guns were pulled, and the heavy machine guns mounted on the armored vehicles were loaded.
Just as all the team members were following instructions and preparing to turn around and take the detour the car in front took.
A few vehicles that originally looked like ordinary family cars suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the armored vehicle.
They were just following the road from a distance, and it didn't look like they were deliberately following the armored vehicle.
But at this moment, judging from the fact that these vehicles continued to rush forward even though they found the road ahead was blocked, their target was very clear, which was the SWAT team's vehicles.
"Enemy attack!" The team members in the rear vehicle immediately sounded the alarm.
"All team members, fire freely! All team members, fire freely! Don't let them block our way, rush out quickly and ask for help from the headquarters!" Mike immediately gave the order to open fire.
The most important thing for a commander is to make decisions on the spot. At this time, even if the driver is an ordinary person, even if the vehicle is just out of control, he must minimize the danger.
The heavy machine guns on the three armored vehicles roared first. The Browning M2 heavy machine gun is the standard equipment of the US military and is widely used in various units as heavy firepower suppression.
These three wheeled armored vehicles are also equipped with Browning M2 heavy machine guns, and the 12.7mm caliber heavy machine guns emit earth-shaking roars.
Three heavy machine guns formed a fire net symbolizing death on the narrow road, and the large-caliber and high-powered heavy machine gun bullets hit the cars on the road.
The hard concrete road surface was riddled with huge gaps caused by bullets, and the originally smooth road surface became bumpy like skin with a sore.
A 12.7mm heavy machine gun bullet hitting a person's torso can kill a person completely with just one shot, because the huge kinetic energy of the bullet after it is fired will produce a huge cavity effect the moment it penetrates the human body.
In some special cases, there is even a horrific phenomenon where a single bullet could cut a person in half.
The whistling bullets, with great kinetic energy, swept towards the eight cars that were rushing towards the convoy.
The nearest of the eight cars was only three hundred meters away from the convoy, which was a very short distance for a fully accelerated car.
The heavy machine guns were spewing flames crazily, and bullets were ruthlessly poured towards the vehicles.
Two cars had already been blown up and the damaged ones were parked aside.
The other six cars were still accelerating towards the convoy.
Meanwhile, members of the SWAT team have already gotten out of the car, except for the heavy machine gunner who is ready to open fire, and the driver who is ready to drive away at any time.
The remaining 19 team members have already gotten off the vehicle fully armed and are on guard, relying on the armored vehicle to deploy a defensive posture.
"Captain, the signal in this area has just been blocked, and our signal source cannot be sent out!" The team member who was in the car and in charge of communicating with the headquarters said anxiously to Captain Mike.
"Damn it! This is a premeditated attack! Someone betrayed us and revealed our mobile routes!" Mike already realized that this was not a simple attack.
It was not a sudden terrorist attack on the United States or something like that, but it was clearly a premeditated attack, with the enemy knowing the direction and route of the team's advance.
All the ambushes were prepared early on.
"All team members attack the vehicle together. A heavy machine gun turns its muzzle and shoots at the truck. There must be something wrong with that truck." Under Mike's command, all the team members took action again.
This time, not only three heavy machine guns began firing, but the assault rifles in the hands of nineteen team members also began to fire.
At Mike's command, a heavy machine gun turned its muzzle and began firing at the container of the truck.
Hiding ambushes in containers is a common sight in SWAT's daily exercises.
Now there was no longer any concern about whether civilians would be accidentally injured. The metal storm fired by the M2 heavy machine gun made huge bullet holes in the truck's container.
At this moment, the side door of the truck container was opened, and Mike's prediction was correct, there was an ambush inside the truck.
But he didn't know that the people lurking in ambush here were not ordinary humans!
The side was opened, and one could see that the truck cargo box was extremely bloody, with severed limbs torn by heavy machine guns and splattered blood all over the cargo box.
But although these guys were seriously injured, no one died, and two Gatling guns were pushed out by these guys.
What is the best way to suppress heavy firepower? Let the enemy taste even more terrible heavy firepower!
"Captain, be careful! The other side has a Vulcan cannon!" The team member who was at the heavy machine gun position saw from afar what the other side pushed out, and he shouted heartbreakingly.
The M2's rate of fire is only 600 rounds per minute. Although it is powerful, its rate of fire is not very fast.
But what kind of monster did the other side push out? The two big guys loaded into the container truck were not the 7.62mm caliber six-barrel Gatling machine guns that were usually mounted on the Humvee.
Instead, it is a 20MM caliber five-barrel Gatling Vulcan cannon equipped on the A10 attack aircraft.
As long as there is enough ammunition, this thing can theoretically reach a terrifying firing rate of 10,000 rounds per minute.
Even in actual use, the Vulcan cannon's rate of fire is generally controlled at 2,000 rounds per minute. This thing is a true death blade.
The team member in charge of heavy machine gun shooting immediately adjusted the muzzle of the gun, preparing to destroy the two Vulcan cannons first, otherwise everything would be over.
The team members' reaction was not slow, and the Browning M2 heavy machine gun opened fire fiercely at a Vulcan cannon.
Another heavy machine gunner who heard his reminder also turned his gun around and prepared to attack another Vulcan cannon.
But it was too late. The ambushers had already set up the Vulcan cannon and the sound of the motor turning could be heard.
Under the rotation of the high-speed motor, one 20MM caliber Vulcan bullet after another was pushed into the barrel, and a rainstorm of death was about to strike!
