Chapter 649: Precision Sniping
Whether they were lying on the way to the charge or taking cover below, all the officers and men knew that the charge had failed again! The firepower of the defenders on the top of the hill was far greater than that of the attackers, so how could this be successful?
Of course, it was precisely because the firepower above was too strong that the officers and men lying on the offensive road did not dare to retreat, because they knew that as soon as they retreated, the enemy's bullets would hit their backs, and they would die faster.
Seeing the friendly troops being thrown up one by one by the blast of air, and then turning into fragments and falling into the dust, the eyes of the officers and men of the elite company turned blood-red.
Liu Changgui, who was anxious to enter the battle before, couldn't help but be lucky at this time, and luckily did not charge at that time. He scolded bitterly: "These coalition forces are really insidious!"
Jiang Xinwei also had to admit the boldness and cunning of the tribal coalition army: after being bombarded by the heavy artillery, they came out of the concealment in a good time, and waited until the attacking troops were only twenty or thirty meters away from the hilltop position before they moved, which undoubtedly put the attacking troops in a dilemma.
He couldn't help but think suspiciously: "After such a powerful artillery bombardment by the Hanmu tribe, how can the fire of the tribal alliance still be so fierce?
Cousse also asked in surprise: "Jiang, could it be that this was once the battle ground between the British and the Germans during World War II, and which of their countries built unusually strong fortifications here, only to be discovered and used by the tribal coalition?"
Jiang Xinxu looked at Kusai and said, "I don't know." I am not familiar with the battles of the Germans against the British in Africa during World War II. β¦β¦ Maybe you have a point, and maybe the situation is as you say. β
Cousse was not complacent, smiled a little, and said: "I'm just talking nonsense, I don't know the situation of World War II in Africa." I know they fought in Libya, but I don't know if they fought here. When the battle here is over, whoever wins, I'll have to go up and see how strong the fortifications are on it. β
As they spoke, the commander of the Hanmu tribe was embarrassed and did not know what to do for a while.
Now they are not thinking about continuing to charge and take the mountain, but about how to retreat, if those soldiers who are lying on the way to charge and unable to move are withdrawn, how to minimize the losses of retreat.
The condescending Horde coalition has machine guns, AK47s, and grenades that weave an impregnable iron curtain that can withstand anyone's attack. In such a situation, a safe retreat is already a luxury.
Although there was no order from the Hanmu tribe, Jiang Xinxu still said to Zhou Jianliang in Chinese: "Arrange for our people to cover the attacking troops and cover their withdrawal." β
Zhou Jianliang hurriedly said: "We are only a company, and we don't have heavy weapons, the enemy's firepower is so fierce, we can't cover it at all." β
Jiang Xinwei said: "Just use snipers and mortars." β
Zhou Jianliang was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Bombardment with mortars? Then we won't blow up the officers and soldiers of the Hanmu tribe? What will they do if they reproach us then?"
Jiang Xinwei looked at the battlefield coldly, and said in a low voice: "You are stupid, don't you see that the commander of the Hanmu tribe is now difficult to ride a tiger? Of course, they can't do it themselves, but if we fight, they will definitely be happy in their hearts." Besides, how many officers and soldiers are still alive at the bottom of the hill? Even if we encounter this situation ourselves, we have to do the same. Maybe they've already given the order. β
Zhou Jianliang was about to say, but Liu Changgui next to him was impatient again, and said: "Who the hell are you, do you think you are Guanyin Bodhisattva? Even Guanyin Bodhisattva knows that saving the living does not save the dead." If you can grab one, it's one. β
Jiang Xinwei didn't say anything more, but picked up a sniper rifle, rushed out along the trench for a distance, and immediately lay down and started sniping after finding a safe position.
The effective distance of the sniper rifle is 800 meters, and it does not need to rush to the front to kill and injure the enemy.
After Liu Changgui threw a contemptuous look at Zhou Jianliang, he also rushed out with a sniper rifle.
When Zhou Jianliang saw it, he had to sigh, and then hurriedly went to command the few mortars in the company.
Jiang Xinwei lay in a crater, put his gun on a stone, aimed at a tribal coalition soldier who was fighting vigorously on the top of the mountain, and calmly pressed the trigger: "Bang! Bang!"
Two gunshots rang out, and the two tribal soldiers who were standing up straight and holding the AK47 suddenly fell, and their hideous heads suddenly turned into broken watermelons, only the blood in the air continued to splash, and the two spitting AK47s rolled down the hill.
Jiang Xinwei fired another shot, and the bullet hit the heavy machine gun mount that was screaming happily, and the muzzle of the gun floated, and the bullet suddenly changed direction and shot into the air......
Jiang Xinxu took advantage of the machine gunner's look up, pulled the trigger again, and the bullet entered his jaw in response, rolled in his head several times, and then came out of the back of the machine gunner's head.
The heavy machine gun was dumb.
Immediately afterwards, other snipers, including Liu Changgui's sniper rifles, also fired.
Although their results were not as great as Jiang Xinwei's, the few tribal coalition troops who showed their heads and even stood up straight and rained bullets were either killed or wounded, and the charging troops finally got a chance to breathe. When the mortars of the elite company also sounded, the crazy momentum of the tribal alliance was finally suppressed.
To Jiang Xinwei's surprise, he thought that the officers and soldiers of the Hanmu tribe lying on the ground would take the opportunity to retreat, but under the command of another wounded officer, they rushed upwards instead, obviously trying to take advantage of this opportunity to take the position in one fell swoop.
Jiang Xinwei said in his heart: "Oh no!"
Sure enough, the tribal coalition on the top of the hill threw grenades one after another and threw them on the way of the attackers. Several mortar shells exploded not far from Jiang Xinwei's side. When Jiang Xinwei and the others hurriedly dodged, two more heavy machine guns roared from the tribal coalition forces, once again sweeping down the officers and soldiers of the charging Hanmu tribe, and once again crushing the remaining attackers to the ground.
Then, a heavy machine gun from the tribal coalition swept towards Jiang Xinwei and them, and the bullet splashed the dirt around Jiang Xinxu into a wall of mud.
Jiang Xinwei dodged flexibly, and from time to time raised his gun to shoot a bullet. It's a pity that because of the angle of shooting, I can't see the tribal alliance that has learned to be obedient at all. The current tribal coalition is no longer as frantic as it was just now, but calmly hides itself before firing, leaving the snipers of the elite company almost without a chance.
Jiang Xinwei fired five shots to slow down the heavy machine gun for a few tens of seconds, and he didn't know whether he killed the machine gunner or was just wounded.
Jiang Xinwei finally ran behind a big rock, and shouted in English to the officers and soldiers who could not charge at the foot of the mountain and were unwilling to retreat: "FK! You are all stupid donkeys! Can you attack with such dense firepower? Retreatββ! retreat immediately!"
As he spoke, he placed his rifle on top of the stone, and the moment the heavy machine gun bullet swept to the side, his body suddenly stood up and fired five shots at the two heads exposed behind the heavy machine gun. The two heads turned into a puddle of rotten flesh and scattered around the heavy machine gun, which was dumb.
Jiang Xinwei didn't hesitate, and ran into a huge bullet hole in the back. As soon as he lay down, three mortar shells fell from the big rock, and the half-human-high stone turned over.
If Jiang Xinxu hadn't been transferred in time just now, his body would probably not be found, and at most there would be some minced flesh left.
He Xiaochu, who was in charge of guarding him, clenched his hands white, and hurriedly ran over and said to Jiang Xinwei: "Head, you can't do this! If you do this, you will kill yourself and us." β
Jiang Xinwei said angrily: "Don't scream, I know your sniping level is good, them!"
He Xiaochu glanced at Jiang Xinwei depressedly, so he had to pick up a rifle and fight, he didn't have a sniper rifle.
Regardless of whether he could hit or not, he fired at the top of the mountain.
The soldiers of the elite company also began to shoot, and the bullets rained down on the top of the hill. Although their shooting effect was not very good due to the long distance and poor viewing angle, they still made the tribal coalition troops on the top of the mountain scramble for a while, and the bullets and shells fired down were much less.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, not only the attacking soldiers who were still alive withdrew, but also the soldiers of the elite company retreated to a safer place.
At this time, Ma Liantao walked up to Jiang Xinwei and asked worriedly: "Head, will the commander of the Hanmu tribe say that you have exceeded your authority......
Jiang Xinxu sat on the ground and said angrily: "Whatever it takes! I can't watch those innocent soldiers die one by one in vain, right?"
Liu Changgui next to him said to Ma Liantao angrily: "I said Lao Ma, how can you be like Zhou Jianliang's grandson, looking forward and looking backwards? Let me tell you, it's absolutely fine! If there is really an eyeless guy looking for trouble for us, Lao Tzu killed him." You see, such a small hill, so many soldiers have died, it's not a blind command, if I were the chief of the Hanmu tribe, I would definitely remove him, no, just kill him, hmph! β
Ma Liantao ignored Liu Changgui's words, but looked at the mountain peak in the distance, and said suspiciously: "This mountain peak is also strange, after bombing for so long, I haven't seen steel plates or logs blown up until now. It's going to have to be made of steel, wood, or thick concrete, right? But I just don't see it. Head, did you see that?"
"No!" When these two words were spoken, Jiang Xinwei was stunned for a moment, and his heart chuckled.
