Chapter Seventy-One: You Hit Yours, I'll Hit Mine!

Although used as an anti-tank, since it is equipped with high-explosive shells, the M40 106mm recoilless gun is no problem to use against infantry, just like in the game, everyone likes to use anti-aircraft guns to hit ground targets.

The Belgian mercenaries who were busy with civil engineering work at the bottom of the hill had lost their previous calm, and the bombardment from the recoilless guns above the hillside had already caused them to lose more than a dozen brothers, but because Eke did not want to give up such a good attack position, the mercenaries could only hide themselves as much as possible under the hillside.

But just as you can't hide an elephant with a tree, you can't hide a mercenary from the sparse vegetation below the highlands.

In particular, the M40 recoilless gun also has a matching M8C optical sight, although the magnification of this thing is not high, but it is no problem to observe the wind and grass below, not to mention that there are many snipers on the position.

Therefore, the only thing that can restrain the recoilless gun team from killing all sides is the small amount of ammunition on the jeep.

As for the counterattack, let alone think about it, the recoilless gun group is a full nine hundred meters away from the bottom of the hillside, this distance is a small amount for a recoilless gun with a range of seven thousand meters, but for the Belgian mercenaries below, it is a bit powerless, but fortunately, François has already sent reinforcements, so the mercenaries can still bear to climb below and let the artillery bombard.

Although he was surprised that his opponent would have a recoilless gun, François was not too surprised, after all, he still had a field gun, which was a field gun commanded by a professional artilleryman!

Immediately, the mercenary's artillery began to shift the direction of the artillery, and the commander in charge of calculating the shooting data quickly calculated the distance according to the map that had been marked for a long time, and then transmitted it to the artillery behind him in real time.

In less than ten minutes, several field guns began to roar, tilting high-explosive shells on the heads of the butter squad.

“???”

The PMCs who were taking time to eat and drink on the battlefield immediately looked for cover in all directions without caring about the pots and pans, and after a burst of chickens and dogs jumping, the wounded screamed angrily.

"Medic!"

Equally loud was Eck, who was about to destroy the cunning jeep, while the artillerymen smashed all the already small number of shells into the defensive positions.

In the midst of Ek's angry scolding, the artillerymen urgently corrected the coordinates, and then fired another volley, this time the shelling successfully hit the target area, but the problem was that the jeep had already run away!

As early as the first shelling fell, Hannibal, fearing that the only supporting artillery would fail, immediately let the jeep return to the camp, so that by the time the shells fell, the jeep had already driven down the hill and disappeared behind the high dirt mountain. François's reinforcements hit nothing.

Although they failed to destroy the jeep, it was not bad to drive the other party away, and seeing that there was no threat, the mercenaries immediately began civil engineering work again, and soon dug up a number of people lying down to shoot bunkers, and then, with a roar, the two unlucky ones went into the sky again without even screaming.

"What's the situation?"

"Shelling!"

The confused mercenary looked around, and soon saw the culprit, the recoilless gun that had just run away, he was back!

And this time, he also replenished the shells!

So the Belgian mercenaries could only cover themselves up like ostriches again, and Eck called the artillery as soon as possible, and this time the artillerymen reacted unpleasantly, completing the steering and ranging within five minutes, and then carrying out the shelling.

Then, the jeep ran back again, and the shell smashed on the head of the butter squad again, although no one was injured this time, but the team was only halfway through the meal process was interrupted again, which made the PMCs angry, everyone fought fiercely for several hours, in this case, it didn't matter if you couldn't eat hot food, how to eat a biscuit and drink cold water had to be bombarded?

Even more tormenting were the Belgian mercenaries under the hillside, who were killed and wounded by recoilless guns and wounded more than 20 people, many of whom were already asking Eke to retreat.

However, Icke's prestige was enough to temporarily suppress his subordinates, but it was impossible to count on the artillery, and the inter-aim shooting of those field guns was too time-consuming, so Ek had to ask François to transfer two mortar jeeps over to help.

These two jeeps are loaded with French 81mm mortars, which are also non-military sales materials, compared to the 50mm mortars used by the black uncles themselves, not only have a long range, but also have a lot more power, in 1961 during the siege of Jadoville, the Fabi mercenaries have been using mortars on jeeps.

The two jeeps that received the order immediately drove back to the forest, made a big circle and drove out of the forest to the south again, as soon as they got out of the forest, the mercenary driving the jeep saw a fire explode in front of them, and then, a black dot was blown into the sky, and then fell on the hood of the car.

It was an unlucky helmet, scorched black and steaming, but the driver had seen it too, and he raised his hand to throw the helmet aside, and then continued driving, driving the jeep to a halt in the shadows at the edge of the forest.

"Get on the gun position!"

The mercenaries raced against time to adjust the angle of fire and charges, and the recoilless guns on the hillside were still obsessed with beating the mercenaries below who could not fight back, and it was not until a whistling mortar shell landed less than twenty meters away from the jeep, and the shrenchnel even collapsed into the body, that the team noticed the mercenary mortar hiding in the shadows.

Without the slightest hesitation, the driver jumped into the car and began to shift his position, and he parked the car on the southerly side of the hill, where the terrain was gentler and the view was clearer.

The loader picks up a heat munition, also known as a hollow-charge armor-piercing projectile, which is a metal jet formed after the explosion of a shaped charge that pierces the armor.

This is a recoilless gun used to counter armor, and it is even more handy to blow up jeepna.

The mortar also saw the recoilless gun in the changed position, and the two sides immediately began a hand speed competition, which was to see who could correct and fire first.

In the end, the recoilless gun was slightly superior, and the first shot was fired, although this ammunition failed to directly hit any jeep, but it was also dangerously brushed over, and the explosion directly made the mercenary on the car fall, and although the second mortar successfully completed the shooting, but because of the wrong distance calculation, the shell deviated by more than 30 meters, except for blowing up a puddle of mud.

Now, it's the turn of the two sides to start the second round of competition!
