Great Power Industry: You're a private company building an aircraft carrier?

Unbeknownst to them, the two scouts who had buried themselves in the sand in the distance were dumbfounded.

"Why don't they leave?"

"Don't rush."

"Will they wait for their companions to come up together?"

"Don't rush."

Finally, after waiting for half an hour, they saw rows of oil tankers and instantly became excited.

"Great, the tanker truck is here!"

"Yes, the time has come. Notify the drone unit immediately!"

Davis stepped off his tank.

In many branches of the military, officers can only be selected from lower ranks and cannot be parachuted in.

For example, in the Air Force, the commander of any division needs to be able to fly the corresponding aircraft. The commander of a transport division needs to fly the transport aircraft of his own unit, and the commander of a fighter division needs to fly the fighter jets of his own unit.

The same applies to the army. The commander of a tank division has to sit in a tank and lead his troops to command the battle. Those officers who are parachuted in cannot handle it.

Davis's vehicle was naturally a Challenger tank, with the same appearance as other tanks, various observation and aiming facilities, and the inherited rifled cannon. However, the interior of the tank was a completely different story. The communication equipment inside was twice as much as that of other tanks, which resulted in a severe shortage of ammunition reserves, with only three to five rounds. The loader was also eliminated. When it was necessary to fire the cannon, the gunner had to load it himself. The gunner usually served as Davis's assistant, and firing the cannon was just a side job.

When it's their turn to fire the command tank, how fierce the battle must be!

Baden-Powell followed Davis and jumped off the tank, watching the tanker truck parked next to his own tank.

"Brothers, you guys got here really fast!"

"That's for sure. We've been on the highway the whole time, and only after you called us off did we leave the highway. This last stretch of road was really difficult, but luckily our vehicle is an off-road vehicle."

Regular trailers simply cannot be driven off the road, let alone resupply tanks in the field; only off-road trucks can do it!

Fortunately, the U.S. military had a large number of off-road trucks, especially the M977 heavy high mobility tactical truck. After the model was finalized in 95, it began to be mass-produced, and tens of thousands of these trucks were deployed to fight this war.

The vehicle has eight huge off-road tires, making it capable of traversing mountains, deserts, and hills!

They could even supply the British army with their own supplies, since the fuel was provided by the Kingdom of Ivory Coast and they didn't have to spend any money.

When refueling, the engine was already off, and without the interference of the high-pressure fuel pump's pumping sound, the surrounding sounds were much clearer.

When the buzzing sound came, Davis frowned and looked up at the sky. Could it be some kind of flying creature in the desert?

"Damn it, what kind of giant bug is that?"

"I don't know. In the desert, there don't seem to be swarms of locusts or anything like that," Baden-Powell replied.

That sound really does sound like locusts!

As he spoke, Baden-Powell shone his flashlight into the sky.

Normally, using a flashlight on the battlefield is suicidal, but they didn't care. Not only did they use flashlights, but they even turned on their vehicle headlights for refueling convenience. By simply deploying a few wheeled armored vehicles on the perimeter, they could defend against attacks from Iraqi tank units.

As for the infantry?

Right now, the area around the refueling site is teeming with patrolling dragoons, making it impossible for any infantry to get close!

It might be possible to bomb from the air, but... the skies belong to the coalition forces. As soon as Iraqi planes take off, they will be shot down immediately, even those modified unmanned MiG-21s!

"Damn it, what is that?" Baden-Powell's flashlight shone on a peculiar aircraft, and he was instantly stunned.

In the center is a machine body with four prongs extending out, each with a propeller at the end, emitting a buzzing sound. That is... a drone?

In his panic, the thing lunged at him.

"Quick, turn off the flashlights, turn off our headlights, and use the night vision goggles!" Davis had already realized what was happening and shouted loudly.

The other person must have come by following my light!

A moment later, Davis put on the portable night vision goggles, looked at the sky, then put them down and rubbed his eyes.

Can't see anything?

Night vision devices have evolved through three generations. Early night vision devices required an infrared lamp to illuminate the target, and the reflected light from the target would be reflected back into the user's eyepiece to be seen. While this allowed the user to see the target clearly, it also exposed the user's position. Only the most backward armies would be equipped with these devices.

The second generation is a low-light night vision device, which amplifies faint light. There is light at night, such as starlight, moonlight, etc. As long as it is not pitch black, you can see the target.

The third generation is the infrared imaging night vision device. Any target that is not at absolute zero will radiate infrared light and can be detected by this night vision device. Of course, in reality, due to its own limitations, this night vision device can only see objects that are hotter than the environment.

In the desert, it's already hot. If it were a tank, the heat from its engine would be high enough to make it easy to spot. But now, drones use electric motors, which generate almost no heat. The airflow from the rotor blades blows downwards, which cools the motors perfectly.

You can't see it at all with an infrared imaging night vision device!

The buzzing continued, and it seemed to be right in front of them!

boom!

The next moment, an explosion rang out, and a ball of flame rose up, instantly stinging Davis's eyes.

In the dark, a person's pupils dilate, allowing more light to enter the retina. In such a situation, a sudden burst of bright light would be unbearable.

The next moment, Davis felt a gust of air rushing towards him, and waves of pain washed over him as he fell backward.

The drone exploded nearby, no more than five meters away!

and many more!

Davis seemed to realize what was happening, and despite the pain, he shouted loudly, "Help! Help me!"

Unfortunately, it's too late.

boom!

The next moment, an even bigger explosion rang out, and the oil tanker exploded! A huge fireball rose up and instantly engulfed Davis. Baden-Powell fared even worse; he was blasted to smithereens when the drone exploded!

Now, there was no need for them to use any more concealment lighting. Flames rose up, illuminating the entire refueling area. The tank crews panicked. Some ran outside, trying to get away from the tankers, while some brave soldiers ran onto the tanks, trying to drive them away.

Boom, boom boom!

Drones kept swooping down, bombing nothing but oil tankers!

Flames erupted, and soon the entire refueling area was ablaze. Countless British soldiers struggled in the flames, letting out screams of impending death...

This scene was like hell on earth. They came here thinking they were hunters who would enjoy the thrill of hunting down the Yirak army. Now, they were heading towards their deaths!
