Although it was only a helicopter, the pilot and shooter were very powerful, so in this wave of fire support, the French mercenaries still suffered serious losses, at least thirty people lost their combat effectiveness, including the dead and seriously wounded, and the number of lightly wounded was also quite a lot, and the first squadron of mercenaries responsible for leading the attack can be said to have lost its offensive ability.

As for the three armored trucks, they are not much better, the first truck was hit by rockets many times, and was killed along with the members of the car, the vehicle is now burning, the second car was blown off two wheels, although it can still be rescued, but at present the mercenaries do not dare to go up to change the tires, they can only throw it on it, the third car was hit by a rocket, causing two deaths and one injury, but the car can still start, so the driver reversed the car at the risk of death and let the truck retreat from the slope.

As for the Shadow Company PMCs on the position, the losses were not small, mainly due to mortars, nearly thirteen people were injured by fragments, and seven unlucky people were hit by stray bullets, although they were not near-dead, but a considerable number of them lost their combat effectiveness and were carried back to the medical station in the valley by friendly forces for emergency treatment.

The No. 1 Heights fell into a deathly silence, both the French and the Shadow Company silently licking their wounds, gathering strength and preparing for the next conflict.

It's just that when the gunfire on the No. 1 highland is temporarily stopped, the No. 2 highland on the south side of the river valley is still engaged in fierce firefights, and the Belgian mercenaries on the south side of the highland are scattered on the almost 600-meter-wide battle line below the high ground and the PMC on the position are shooting at a long distance, the two sides are like a turn-based system, you shoot a few shots, I shoot a few shots, because there are not many targets to see, so the shadow company PMC on the position simply does not show its head in the back, and directly raises the rifle above the head with both hands, using the black uncle shooting method.

Because there was no heavy fire support like the French, the Belgian mercenaries could not launch a large-scale assault at all, and could only rub up a little bit at the bottom of the slope, and Eke was also a veteran in the army, he knew that this kind of terrain attack was to send people to the head, so he adopted the most stupid and effective method.

Civil Operations!

From the first time humans used trenches to fight until 2023, civil engineering work has been regarded as an evergreen tree in war conflicts, and the Belgian mercenaries at the bottom of the hill immediately pulled out their sapper shovels and bayonets and began to dig themselves into a useful lying position to shoot bunkers.

Eck's idea was simple, on the one hand, civil engineering could provide cover for his men, but also continue to extend the battle line, allowing them to get closer to the defenders, if the scale was larger, digging a little deeper, and it was not impossible to concentrate the blasting.

The butter squad stationed on the second high ground in the south naturally saw those flying dust, but they had no usable warp firepower at hand except for the M79 grenade launcher, as for attacking with the M72 rocket launcher, it was not impossible, but the armor-piercing warhead was used to smash the infantry, unless it was an emergency, no one usually did it.

The Butter Squad Commander was even thinking about whether to come up with a wave of exciting bayonet charges to knock the enemy back, but just think about it, the Belgian mercenaries below are no less numerous than them, and the weapons are not far behind.

Then, as the Belgian mercenaries were digging in the earth, there was a sudden roar of engines from above the hillside, and when Eck looked up, he saw an open-top jeep struggling to climb up the road from the back of the hill to the valley.

It wasn't strange to see the Jeep, but there was a long cannon barrel on the back seat of the Jeep, and Eck, who saw what it was, immediately turned green.

"Where did these guys get their recoilless guns?"

If Hannibal had been there, he would have answered him, of course, he had bought it, but unfortunately Hannibal was not there, and Eck had to urgently call his dear friend François to send mortars or something else to help, otherwise they would have to abandon their existing positions and retreat back to the forest.

But it was obviously the Shadow Company's jeep that was a little faster, and the jeep sped all the way down the undulating hillside, driving directly to the anti-slope position behind the position, and then the operators of the car immediately began to operate the gun.

Before the popularization of anti-tank missiles, it has always been the anti-tank firepower of the US battalion level, and the Marine Corps is ingenious to complete a small combat vehicle equipped with six recoilless guns for fire support.

However, this thing also has the common problem of recoilless guns, that is, it is noisy, large in volume or something, but it is installed in a jeep, and the volume and weight are not a problem, as for the noise, it can only be overcome by the shooter wearing earplugs first.

The loader first unloaded the shells loaded on the car one by one, and then picked up a 106mm grenade that was about to catch the thigh of an adult and stuffed it into the chamber, and after the reloading, he immediately retreated to the left side of the recoilless gun, because when firing, the rear area of the recoilless gun was also very dangerous, and the tail flame could be sprayed far away, and the slightest carelessness might have to lie on the board.

After confirming that the reload was complete, the shooter immediately adjusted the direction of the gun slightly, aiming at a mercenary who was still struggling to swing the shovel, the guy was behind a ridge, although he could not see the figure, but he could see the shovel he waved from time to time and the dust that was flying, in view of the seriousness of this guy, the gunner decided to help him.

"Launch!"

Before firing, the shooter shouted and signaled the people around him to block their ears in time, and then, with a loud bang, the brains of the crowd almost shut down.

A ball of flame erupted from behind the artillery, and the air wave directly blasted the turf out, and the cannonball was pushed out by the gas, and an eighteen-kilogram grenade smashed directly and accurately on the ridge, and then the violent explosion blew up half of the ridge without a shadow, as for the unlucky guy behind him, he also disappeared without a trace, only the crater left in place explained what happened here.

The gunner patted his ears, which were still buzzing, and then cracked his mouth and laughed.

Although this time made him feel that his internal organs were hammered with heavy punches, this feeling was so enjoyable!

"Grenade, load, come again!"

Still unsatisfied, he immediately beckoned the loader on the side to continue.

"This thing is much more powerful than a bazooka!"
