At around eleven o'clock, the Saudi army began to advance again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There was an hour-long pause in between, mainly to adjust the deployment of troops, and the strength of one battalion invested by Saudi Arabia was obviously a little overwhelmed.

Fortunately, the UAE troops who accompanied the operation arrived in time.

The Gulf coalition is made up of the armies of eight countries, with only four countries contributing ground troops, namely Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Jordan, and Egypt, Kuwait, Bahrain and Sudan contributing only air power and logistics personnel and not troops participating in ground combat.

Among the coalition forces, in addition to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates has contributed the most troops.

The UAE is also committing to a mechanized infantry battalion, led by a platoon of four Leclerc main battle tanks to the west of the Saudi army.

Although the number of troops is equal, the UAE army is clearly playing soy sauce.

From a tactical point of view, the greatest value of the UAE army is to disperse the enemy's forces, i.e. to force the Houthis to extend their lines to the west.

The battle situation also entered a stalemate at this time.

In the next hour, the advance of the Saudi army was less than a hundred meters.

Although artillery was used to carry out focused artillery bombardment on the enemy's dead end, when the Saudi army advanced, those guys seemed to come back from the dead, drilled out of the rubble, and returned fire with various weapons, so that the Saudi army had to stop.

Apparently, the Houthis have built underground fortifications that can withstand shelling.

The UAE army was in the same trouble, suffering heavy casualties.

After several attempts to launch an offensive and paying the price of more than a dozen officers and men, the Saudi army stopped the offensive and began calling for air support.

Shells could not deal with bunkers and tunnels under the ground, so more powerful bombs were used.

It's just that air support is not on call.

Moreover, the offensive tactics of the Saudi army have long been no secret.

In Sara and Zamar, the Houthis have long figured out how the Saudi army is playing, and they know that when the Saudi army stops its ground offensive, the bombardment will come.

As a result, the Houthis launched a counterattack after the Saudi army stopped attacking.

The only way to deal with the bombing, in fact, is to fight back, close to the Saudi army, preferably mixed with the Saudi army, so that the fighters of the Saudi Air Force do not dare to drop bombs at will.

It's crazy and it's resolute.

Within five minutes, hundreds of enemies rushed out, desperately rushing towards the Saudi army, attacking tanks and vehicles with rocket launchers.

The Saudi army was also full of firepower, but it failed to stop the enemy's counterattack.

Quite simply, there was always only one company of troops at the front, and the front was stretched so wide that the intensity of fire at any one point was not sufficient.

"Aren't those guys afraid of death?" Wang Haotian said.

The drone has already risen into the air, and through the pictures taken by the drone, Wang Haotian can clearly see every corner of the battlefield.

"It's not that you're not afraid of death, but you're cornered." It was Major Saeed who spoke. "Aden is in coalition hands, and Taiz is the last Houthi stronghold in southern Yemen. Because the cities to the north are already under our control, the Houthis have nowhere to go after losing Taiz. Even if you don't die here, you have nowhere to go, and in the end, you have to die whether you are captured or surrendered. ”

Wang Dong sighed secretly, not knowing what to say.

Obviously, in Yemen, what "international laws of war", "Hague Convention" are waste paper, and the aim of the warring sides is to completely destroy each other.

"Found the target."

Hearing Xie Chuyue's words, Wang Dong immediately raised the telescope.

"About 30 degrees west-south, the red three-story building, under the awning in the northeast corner of the roof."

According to Xie Chuyue's instructions, Wang Dong pointed the telescope at the building, and then activated the laser rangefinder that matched the telescope.

The enemy, a sniper to be exact, hid under the awning.

Wang Dong didn't see it very clearly, but Xie Chuyue wouldn't talk nonsense.

In addition, it is indeed an ideal sniper position.

If Xie Chu was given a choice, he would also be ambushed there.

The awning provides protection from drones overhead, while the half-height fence around the roof provides effective cover, and the stairway is a few meters away, making it easy to retreat.

What's more, the building is about a kilometer away from the battlefield.

No matter how ferocious the Saudi army's firepower is, it will not shell a building a kilometer away for no reason.

"How far?"

"4150 meters."

Xie Chuyue began to adjust the high and low angles of the scope.

Although the trajectory of the 8.8 mm heavy bomb is very straight, at such a long distance, the drop at the end of the trajectory is extremely large, exceeding 200 meters.

"The wind speed is 0, and the conditions are ideal."

Xie Chuyue took a deep breath and put his cheek raiser on the butt of the gun again.

No wind, indeed, is ideal, but at such a distance, there are so many factors to consider, even the deflection force generated by the rotation of the earth, that is, the Coriolis force.

In fact, there is no need to worry about the lethal effect of bullets.

When using an extended sniper barrel, the 8.8mm bullet has a muzzle kinetic energy of up to 6,800 joules, and the storage rate of the heavy bullet is particularly good, maintaining supersonic speed at 2,500 meters and more than 200 meters per second at 4,000 meters.

Simply put, after flying 4000 meters, the lethality of an 8.8 mm warhead is comparable to that of a .45ACP pistol cartridge at the muzzle.

As long as you hit the body, you will definitely be killed.

It was also at this time that a "blanket" under the awning moved.

Looking through the binoculars, it was indeed a blanket.

Of course, that's the sniper's disguise, the blanket draped over the sniper's body to be exact.

"The target has been confirmed, ready to open fire." Wang Dong reminded.

Xie Chuyue didn't say anything, still crawling motionless.

Not waiting for the moment, but looking for the feeling.

If the range is within 1500 meters, Xie Chuyue will fire immediately, but it is so far away that no sniper can be completely sure.

When you're not sure, the feeling is too important.

Of course, no one can say exactly what the feeling is, maybe it's experience, maybe it's luck, maybe it's a moment of inspiration.

Wang Dong didn't say anything more, and glanced back at Wang Haotian.

Wang Haotian didn't say anything, just nodded, indicating that the drone had flown over, and the high-resolution camera was aimed at the house.

"Bang-"

The gunfire came very suddenly, and even Wang Dong was startled.

It's just that Xie Chuyue was still calm, and after firing the gun, he reloaded as quickly as he could, and then aimed at the target again.

Wang Dong also immediately raised the telescope.

After about twenty seconds, the blanket under the awning shook a few times, and then it returned to normal, without any further changes.

Hit?
