Chapter 419: Assault (3)
It's just that after listening to the officer's words, Ben almost didn't vomit blood.
Ten minutes, with the current situation, they can't even hold on for five minutes and will be wiped out by the other party!
Sniper Aiken holds his M82A3 and begins to look for a sniper position, but this is not an easy task.
After all, their current position was in the canyon area between the two mountains, and the high ground was occupied by the enemy, and he could not find a position that could be used as a sniper position.
The positions of the enemy mortars were clearly the best place to be chosen after accurate reconnaissance and calculation, and it was impossible to attack them from the bottom of the mountain.
"Captain, I can't find a sniper position to attack the opponent's mortar position!" Aiken said in the communicator.
", aren't you going to run far?" Ben strafed one of the opponent's machine-gun positions, shouting over the communicator.
"It takes time, we don't have time at all!" As a sniper, Aiken has the calm personality necessary for a sniper.
"And now there are more and more militants on the mountain, and the other side has a large number of RPGs, and the best choice now is for us to eliminate these guys first, otherwise we will definitely not be able to support the arrival!"
"Whoosh ......"
As soon as Aiken's words fell, several rockets with long tails flew down the mountain.
"Rockets ......!"
Finley, who was shooting, shouted loudly, put away his weapon and hid his body behind the rock.
But before his voice fell, the rockets had already hit the stones on the side of the road and exploded into pieces. All of a sudden, shrapnel and debris scattered in all directions, and the nearby Nigerian soldiers screamed, and five or six people around were affected. Even a soldier was directly hit in the chest by a high-speed flying stone, and after a mouthful of blood spurted out, he fell to the ground without moving.
"!" A scolding from Finley rang out over the communicator, and although he dodged well, a sharp piece of shrapnel still burrowed into his arm.
"Sniper, take out the rockets, or we're all going to be finished!" Finley shouted as he painlessly pulled the shrapnel out of his arm with the tip of his knife.
"Aiken, leave those mortars alone, take the lead in dealing with those rockets!" Ben gave the order loudly.
"Bang ......"
A huge gunshot came, and a militant who had just straightened up and was about to shoot a rocket at the bottom was directly hit in the chest, and his whole body was suddenly broken in half from the center, and the blood that spurted out directly poured on his companions around him.
"Gun grenades, give me a pinch. Also, where are all the snipers of your army dead?! Ben shouted at the Nigerian officer as he commanded.
"Two of the snipers in our company died in the shelling just now, and one was killed by the enemy's machine guns!" The officer replied with some helplessness.
"Damn, the sniper died before he even started, what the hell is this fighting!" Ben felt like he was going crazy, and now he felt that these people were really not as good as a pig!
"How far away are the big forces? Where are the self-propelled guns? ”
"The infantry has already made armored vehicles to come quickly, and it is less than five kilometers from here, and it will only take five minutes at most! The artillery position is a little further back, about six kilometers or so! ”
", did they crawl over?" Ben scolded angrily.
But now these are not important, after listening to the officer's words, I calculated in my heart that the firing range of 120-mm self-propelled howitzers is about nine kilometers, so now they are already within the strike range of self-propelled guns here.
Thinking of this, Ben immediately ordered the officer: "Immediately report the location coordinates of the opponent's mortars, and let the howitzers behind strike and destroy their positions!" ”
The officer's eyes lit up, and he immediately began to contact the rear after saying yes.
As long as they can put an end to the opponent's mortar position, then they still have hope of survival.
"Captain, discover something new." The voice of the sniper Aiken suddenly reached Ben's ears. "Behind the rocks on the opposite hill, a militant is observing our position."
Ben immediately took out the binoculars, and looked over there a little bit of the position, and sure enough, he saw the person Aiken was talking about, who was also looking at this side with a telescope, and there seemed to be something like a walkie-talkie in his hand.
"Damn, kill him right now. That's an observer of the opposing mortar! Ben immediately shouted.
"Understood!"
Aiken's sniper rifle was already aimed at that guy, and at this time, the other party was almost seven hundred meters away from the sniper Aiken, and only half of his head was missing, so this sniper was also a great test of the sniper's ability.
After hearing Ben's command, Aiken adjusted his breathing slightly, and pulled the trigger in less than a second.
At this time, the guy who had just put down the telescope and picked up the walkie-talkie to say something did not react at all, and was directly smashed in the head by a shot.
The power of the M82A3 was not just half of his face, his entire head was lost to the bullet.
"Boom ......"
A new round of mortar shells continued to fall on them, constantly exploding around the wreckage of the armored vehicle. However, they had already hidden in the distance, and the effect of the explosion this time was not great.
But even so, three Nigerian soldiers were killed either directly or by the shock wave of the shells.
Ben's second team, who was hiding behind the rocks, was killed by a cannonball that exploded less than five meters in front of him, and the whole person flew out with the stone that was used as cover, and he fainted after slamming into the ground.
Seeing this, Ben was in a hurry, and shouted to the nearest Matthew: "Hurry up and save people!" ”
Matthew was ready before Ben's voice shouted, and after throwing two smoke grenades as cover, his whole body sprang straight out from behind his cover, towards Maurice who fell to the ground.
Bang bang bang!
The militants on the hill also noticed the situation and began to shoot wildly directly into the smoke, with bullets chasing directly behind his ass and hitting the ground.
Ben and the rest of the second squad immediately took cover and suppressed the opposing people.
Especially with the existence of Aiken, a sniper, after killing the four militants who wanted to launch rockets and the suppression of the guns and grenades of the people under the mountain, the other party did not dare to be as unscrupulous as before.
"Damn, what are our howitzers doing, aren't they ready yet!" Ben yelled.
"That's it!" The officer replied loudly, his voice full of excitement.
"The 120-mm self-propelled howitzer is ready for launch...... Launch! ”
As the officer's voice fell, a few seconds later, Ben seemed to faintly hear the sound of cannonballs breaking through the air.
