Chapter 246: The War Begins

Thanks to Hanada Ghost for the tip.
As for the originally scheduled attack on the Thunder ground forces, the three armed helicopters of the joint forces said that they were really powerless, and the three Apache that contained the Thunder were all using their strength.
In this regard, the senior commanders of the Xingtian China Joint Force, who do not know how many battles they have fought, have long been prepared in their hearts, and they have also made certain revisions to the content when they are perfecting the framework of Chen Tianyi's tactical plan.
So while the six helicopter gunships in the air were attacking each other with heavy machine guns and rocket launchers, occasionally taking out a few unlucky guys on both positions, the ground forces of the combined forces also went into action.
All sorts of shells began to rush out of the positions of the combined forces and smash down towards the positions of the Thunder Mercenary Regiment. The Thunder side did not hesitate, and also pulled out various artillery pieces to launch a counterattack. For a while, the explosion of shells resounded in this area one after another.
At this time, the combined forces that had dug the trenches in advance had a considerable upper hand, and the soldiers hiding in the trenches, except for a few unlucky ones, basically ignored the thunderous shells. As for the Thunder Mercenary Regiment, whose members had not yet dug a few trenches, their members could only lie on the ground and pray for God's blessing.
Seeing this, the leader of the Thunder Mercenary Regiment who was hiding in a trench, Artur. Augs, couldn't help but urged the ground and roared: "Damn, I should have brought the tank if I knew it, and cooperated with the armored car to directly charge Xingtian's side." ”
Hearing this, the high-level Thunder executives who were also hiding in the trenches were silent, who told them to dislike the sensitivity and inconvenience of tanks at the beginning, and leave the tank troops in their hometowns to guard. Besides, as far as the few old-fashioned tanks in Thunder's hands are concerned, it is not certain whether they can play a role on this battlefield. Maybe he was blown up by a rocket before he could reach the opposite side.
Now, the only thing that the Thunder side can rejoice about is that the Xingtian China Joint Force does not have tanks, otherwise the battle situation on the ground will be very dangerous now that the armed helicopters in the sky will not be able to pull away.
When he saw that the Thunder side was suppressed by his own fire, he ordered the driver to drive the armored command vehicle into the mountains. Zhou Qing, who was dodging the thunder artillery and helicopter attacks, looked at the swarthy middle-aged man and smiled, their goal was achieved.
The Thunder Mercenary Regiment, which was suppressed by firepower, could only get up and launch a surprise attack on the Xingtian China United Forces at any cost if they didn't want to lie on the spot and be beaten in vain when the helicopter gunships were entangled.
When the soldiers on both sides approached a certain distance, the artillery in the rear was useless, and they did not dare to hit people at all, for fear of accidentally injuring their own people. You can only attack each other to see who is extinguished first. As for the trenches dug in advance by the combined forces, they will still be a nuisance, but their effectiveness will be minimized. In this case, Thunder's original plan for a comprehensive reconnaissance battlefield was naturally in vain.
In this regard, the Thunder did not care much, because they received intelligence support from the US imperialists. And from the GPS image from the US imperialists. Before their arrival, the Xingtian China United Forces had been doing preparations such as digging trenches. There was nothing suspicious.
Therefore, after discussion, the high-level leaders of the Thunder Mercenary Group felt that the Xingtian China United Force hoped to make up for the gap with Thunder in terms of personnel and weapons through a large number of war preparations in advance, such as digging trenches.
It is out of this perception that the high-ranking commanders of the Thunder Mercenary Regiment. In the case of being suppressed by the firepower of the Xingtian China United Forces, he did not hesitate to give the order for the whole army to assault.
Looking at the projection screen, the GPS global satellite positioning system came from the whole army assault image of the Thunder Mercenary Regiment, Zhou Qing and the swarthy middle-aged man in the armored command vehicle also did not hesitate to give the order of the whole army to fight back.
Time. Between the Xingtian China United Forces and the Thunder Mercenary Regiment, in the five-kilometer-long open space, artillery fire rang out with the roar of gunfire, and the smoke of war rolled up.
After all, the Thunder Mercenary Group is an old large mercenary group, and it is its elite main force on the battlefield, and if you pull out a small soldier, you don't know how many times you have rolled in the pile of dead people. Therefore, relying on the skillful irregular movement of the members, intuitive lying down and other "tactical actions", in the first three kilometers of the Thunder Army's assault, basically five or six unlucky eggs were hit by stray bullets and hung up, and more than a dozen were injured of varying severity, and the casualties were negligible.
Of course, the same is true for the Xingtian China United Forces, the number of casualties adds up to one dead and five wounded, needless to say that all the wounded are stray bullets, and the dead one is extremely unlucky, he was actually hit by a ricocheting bullet from the back of the head, I really don't know how much shit he has stepped on in the past few days, and his character can decline to this point, and he is completely hopeless.
However, this kind of game generally has low casualties, and the war is only three kilometers ahead. After about ten or twenty minutes, the advance of the Thunder Mercenary Group began to enter within two kilometers, and the casualties on both sides suddenly increased.
The first to strike was undoubtedly the snipers, but since both sides had just entered a distance of about two thousand meters, although the snipers began to exert their power, due to the accuracy of the head, it only slightly increased the casualties on both sides.
Let's popularize science here, generally speaking, people who can become snipers in the army can hit a watermelon the size of a human head within one kilometer, that is, one kilometer, and some are 800 meters, and the standards of each unit are different.
And if it is a unit that often experiences battles, such as a mercenary group like Xingtian Thunder, a sniper who can be recognized by the army, it will have to be raised by 300 meters on this standard to reach a terrifying 1,300 meters.
Further up is the elite of the snipers, all the way to the threshold of 1,500 meters. Basically, those who can pass the threshold are all geniuses who are one in a million, and I'm talking about snipers, and there are only thirty or fifty such people in the world in a year.
After crossing the threshold, it is a vast journey of 500 meters. The end of the journey is two thousand meters, and after the distance of two kilometers, it is often a matter of luck and a flash of inspiration.
But there are still very few people, no more than a hundred in the recorded history, who have overcome the illusory luck and reached a fifty percent chance of hitting the target two kilometers away, and these people are the king of snipers - the king of snipers.
Chen Tianyi, who has exchanged for grandmaster-level firearms mastery skills, is undoubtedly this kind of person, in a sense, this is comparable to his combat power comparable to some monsters in the shadow company, and it shocks those who know how to do it, after all, there have never been fewer monsters with unparalleled combat power from ancient times to the present, but in the past, monsters used knives, guns and sticks, and now monsters use bullets and grenades.
But the number of sniper kings has not broken a hundred since ancient times, don't think it's because guns appeared late, and there are no guns that can fight two thousand meters or something like that for decades, so the number of such people is so small, which can only be said to be a small part of the reason.
The reason is very simple, the standard of the king of sniper is different in each era, in the era when 500 meters is the limit of range, the person who can conquer the field 500 meters away is also the king of sniping.
Therefore, when the forward unit of the Thunder Mercenary Regiment approached the trench where Chen Tianyi was now two thousand meters away, and the other snipers were still fighting blindly by feeling, he finally broke out when he entered the trench, which had been silent.
"Bang." With a dull gunshot, about two thousand and one hundred meters away, a lower-level commander who was shouting loudly about what thunder fell. And before he fell, he was telling his subordinates to start moving faster as soon as they walked within 2,000 meters, and start running as soon as they walked within 1,500 meters, and after 1,300 meters, they should not cherish their physical strength, rush to the trench as fast as possible, and start a close-range white-knuckle battle with the Xingtian China United Forces.
It's a pity that this conscientious lower-level commander of the Thunder Mercenary Regiment didn't know that there was such a king among snipers as Chen Tianyi in the Xingtian China United Force opposite, so he could only stare at him in disbelief and fell down.
The matter of a lower-level commander will not disrupt the rhythm of the Thunder Mercenary Group, and even the subordinates of the lower-level commander are only sad for a while, and then the commander's deputy will take over the command according to the rules and direct the others to continue to advance.
And Chen Tianyi, who killed this lower-level commander, didn't stay long, and directly turned the muzzle of the gun and aimed at a thunder middle-level commander who had just emerged, and sent him to see God with one shot, well, it was also possible to see Satan.
In this way, Chen Tianyi lay on the spot and fired seven shots in a row, sniping seven unlucky people who were two kilometers away and thought they were safe. However, this hunt is for this, after all, this is a battlefield, not a competition field, not a duel between two snipers, the output of the standing pile is to find death, only rookie soldiers would do this kind of stupid thing.
Therefore, after the snipers of Thunder touched a distance of 1,500 meters, Chen Tianyi carried Barrett and carefully left the trench where he had been staying for a long time to find the next sniper site.
Now that the combat distance has been shortened to 1,500 meters, the snipers have naturally been truly released. With the sound of dull gunfire, the two sides, from ordinary soldiers to middle and lower-level commanders, fell one after another.
The cruelty of the battlefield is fully revealed at this moment, as long as you go to the battlefield, there is a danger of dying in battle, no matter how many battlefields you have fought before, it cannot increase your chances of survival, in the same way, no matter how high your status is, the head is drilled by a bullet to open a bloody hole, the same is the end of the street.
Perhaps in addition to illusory luck, the only exception on the battlefield is strength.
As long as you have enough strength, even if everyone else, whether they are friends or enemies, they are all dead, you can still laugh or cry bitterly. (To be continued.) )
