Chapter Forty-Eight: No One Sleeps Tonight!

"Mortar!"

The Shadow Squad on the ground was also in a mess, whether it was in the bunker or outside, and everyone was lying on the ground in an extremely skillful posture to avoid bullets the moment they heard the whistling sound.

It wasn't until the cannonball fell and the smoke rose, looking at the outrageous landing of the cannonball, that the group breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to point fingers at their companions around them.

"Look at your panicked appearance, that has the courage of a soldier, such a partial shell, you are scared like this!"

"Before you say this, you patted the dirt off your body, and I was the only one in the pit in a panic?"

And the stubbornness of the people did not last long, because the second shell fell again, and this time it was still outrageous, not even in the camp, but on the dry tidal flat outside the valley.

"What are these guys doing here?"

The squad commander was confused, he didn't understand the meaning of the two shells at all, and the people who fired the shells didn't make any corrections or observations at all, as if they had simply found a position to fire two shells.

And just when he was confused, the helicopter carrying reinforcements had already given up landing, and flew directly into the distance with a full load of armed men.

At the same time, the two battery machine guns on the plane also began to strafe the bushes and sparse jungle under the control of the PMC, and the red tracer bullets were so conspicuous in the dark sky.

Although the helicopters had reacted quickly, in fact when they flew to the enemy's firing position, the opponent ran away, they entered from the jungle and set up mortars on the edge, here is a gentle slope uphill, you have to walk to the top of the slope to see the river valley, and the attackers are mortars set up at the bottom of the slope, so that they are not visible in the direction of the camp, so to speak, it is a very old six position.

Although this position is safe and secret, because the straight-line distance is more than 700 meters, the mortar attack is actually very weak, and it can't attack the inside of the camp at all, because the civil engineering work of the Shadow Company extends nearly 300 meters of defensive area outward, so the shells can only fall on the wasteland outside the camp for everyone to hear.

After hovering over the jungle for a while, the helicopters, who couldn't see anything at all, returned in a huff, unloading personnel and supplies, and then the second team also replenished the defensive positions on both sides of the valley, which greatly alleviated the problem of lack of manpower.

Later, in the foxhole, the PMCs shared with each other the compressed dry food they had brought, and with the hot soup and masala provided by the camp, it was a good dinner, and the Indian chef was still very particular when cooking for the British master, at least not too much mush.

And when everyone was full of food and drink, and the cool breeze was about to strike, there were two more Peng Peng under the night sky.

Immediately, two more mortars fell on the north side of the camp, one hit the wasteland and the other landed in the creek, although these two guns also didn't hit anything because of the distance, but it made the PMCs who just wanted to rest for a while can't help but be highly nervous.

"Did anyone see the mortar coming from what direction?"

"Where's the drop?"

"Are there any wounded?"

"All personnel count!"

After a toss of chickens and dogs, the team leaders who learned that there were still no casualties were relieved, and they understood what the opponent's idea was when they learned that the shells were still falling in inconsequential places!

"Sentry posts plus double posts, leave half of the staff to keep watching, rotate every two hours, these guys, they don't want us to sleep tonight!"

The squad leader reluctantly made a deployment, although it seems that the mortar has not caused any damage at present, but he does not dare to bet on the next shelling, as for chasing out and clearing it is even more impossible, the squad has no night vision devices, and there is no numerical advantage, as for night combat training, it is even more scarce and pitiful, so, it is better to honestly guard the foxhole!

And as the night deepened, the visibility was lower, and there was a layer of mist in the direction of the bushes, no matter how long the PMCs persisted, they couldn't withstand the invasion of the goddess of the night after all, and many sentries dozed off, and then just when someone was about to lift the skirt of the goddess of the night, the third round of shelling came!

So it was another toss of chickens and dogs, confirming the direction of firepower, confirming the landing point of the shells, and confirming whether there were casualties.

The team leader yawned, then took out a flashlight covered with a layer of cloth and looked at the time in the pit, it was only one o'clock in the morning, and it was at least five or six hours before dawn!

"It's hard!"

An hour later, the fourth round of shelling arrived on time, this time the other side only fired one round, and the power of the explosion seemed to be just an ordinary training bullet, but it still made the PMCs' hearts tense again.

At half past two, the fifth round of shelling hit, and this time the shells were even more outrageous, but they still disturbed everyone's dreams!

"Damn, pick up the headquarters for me, I'll find the boss!"

The team leader who couldn't take it anymore roared and rushed back to the camp, and then went straight to the communication room to call Shepard, who hadn't actually slept and was still on a long call with the Korean side.

The squad commander was angry at the shelling and asked Shepard to send a helicopter with M134 machine guns and rockets, and he wanted to send those attackers to the sky, and Shepard understood the anger of the other party, but he was really reluctant to use the precious heavy weapon.

"Well, in this case, I'll send a helicopter to make sure I can solve the problem for you!"

Then the ground staff at the headquarters got up urgently, and while everyone was frantically pouring coffee into their mouths, they took tools and installed the sound and transmission equipment on the OH6 helicopter.

Subsequently, the pilot on duty also took off urgently, turned on the anti-collision lights and flew to the river valley, while the PMC in the camp had already marked a huge cross mark on the ground with gasoline to indicate the direction of the helicopter.

After hearing the sound of the rotors, the team leader immediately lit the marker, and the pilot also saw the mark, and after confirming that the altitude was normal, he pressed the switch at hand and began to circle around the marker.

"Bang Bang Bang, Bang ......Bang

Wagner's Valkyrie March immediately spread from the plane to the ground, and the squad leader was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly. Well, in that case, then don't sleep!

That's right, Shepard's tactic is noise attack, which the U.S. military has done in later generations, whether it is the capture of Noriega or the bloody battle of Fallujah, the psychological warfare troops are torturing their own people and opponents with all kinds of voices.

And the noise cruise of the OH6 is indeed effective, if the mortar attack only makes the Shadow Company unilaterally not sleep well, then Wagner is to make everyone not want to sleep!
