Chapter 174: Stagnation

Due to the lack of qualified artillery, the Shadow Company did not have a squad such as mortars to support firepower, and the plutons preferred grenade launchers with limited range, but lighter.

As a result, in addition to the dedicated grenadiers, the other combatants in each combat squad can carry 9 grenade launchers if they are overburdened, but they usually have only a few fragmentation grenades on them.

And the distance of two hundred meters is also within the effective range of these grenade launchers!

Despite the battle formation, the company still suffered losses in the explosion, two infantry were directly pierced through the fragile body by the fragments and fell, one died on the spot, while the other lost blood frantically in convulsions, and the unfortunate man's eyes had lost their luster when the medic came jumping up and down the battlefield.

The grenade bombardment from the direction of the hangar was still endless, and the SPLM soldiers hiding behind the anticline and bunker could only try their best to keep their bodies low to dodge, but the grenades fired at a high projectile angle could still blow up the unfortunate unlucky eggs in a matter of seconds.

However, SPLM soldiers also saw figures moving behind the concrete wall, and as the arrivals began one after another, a fierce exchange of fire began.

After the exchange of fire, the Soviet instructor who was commanding the operation on the front line realized that something was wrong, because his opponent's long-range firepower seemed to be ridiculously accurate, and at a distance of 200 meters, his side had more firepower and more firepower, but on the contrary, his own side was suppressed to the death.

The Butter Detachment Captain did not place all his men on the front line in one go, he only deployed two-thirds of the personnel, and he also demanded that everyone not stay in one position, and that they must constantly shift their firing positions.

Thanks to the sights and complete cover, the Butter detachment engaged the enemy for a full twenty minutes, but there were no reports of losses, but caused nearly 20 casualties.

Despite the training of Soviet and Cuban instructors, most of the SPLM soldiers immediately chose the stupid method of squatting in place and firing at each other.

Especially those machine gunners who bear the fire support point, most of the machine gun teams, directly choose to stay in place and continue to shoot, and these swaggering guys are naturally taken care of by the snipers.

After losing four machine gunners in a row, the SLP commander finally reacted, and he divided his platoon, which suffered the least losses, and began to maneuver to the west, trying to make a detour from the direction of the tank farm, while the snipers who continued to put pressure on him were driven out. Chinese Net

Although the commander tried to draw the enemy's attention to the frontal forces as much as possible, the roundabout infantry platoon was clearly seen by the snipers of the Butter detachment.

Then, the Butter Squad Leader immediately sent out his reserves, and the two sides began a battlefield race, one on the outside of the airport towards the tank farm, and the other on the inside of the airport towards the tank farm.

Because of the terrain advantage, the butter detachment moved one step faster, and when the roundabout detachment of the People's Liberation Movement braved the rain of bullets and lost several people and finally went around to the outside of the tank farm, the machine gunners of the butter detachment had already set up 0 machine guns on the tank.

And the commander of the roundabout detachment did not even carefully observe the situation in the vicinity, he listened to the constant news of his own losses on the radio, and was directly the first to take the lead over the outer wall and try to launch a surprise attack.

And when he landed, he noticed that on the edge of the guardrail at the top of the oil tank, which was less than a hundred meters away from him, the muzzle of the black hole hole had locked on him.

"Don't come here, there's an ambush!"

The commander shouted, while raising the AK47 rifle in his hand and was about to fire, the 0 general-purpose machine gun at the height had already spewed out tongues of fire, just in an instant, the commander and the dozen or so soldiers behind him who had climbed to the outer wall were pierced by bullets, under the merciless gunfire from the heights, the bodies of these soldiers were like watermelons and flesh were hit by bullets, and the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army, who had nowhere to dodge, were scattered on the ground like popcorn that had collapsed from the machine, There was even a half-smashed corpse hanging on the outer wall, swaying incessantly.

The SPLM soldiers, who were caught off guard by an ambush, lost their commander

Immediately into confusion, they were pinned down behind the outer wall, trying to continue to break through in place, several soldiers scrambled to climb the high wall again, or tried to fire at the machine guns on the high ground under the support of their comrades.

But their efforts were to continue to drop a few tattered corpses in the same place.

And the Butter detachment was not a fool waiting to fight the enemy, and under the cover of machine-gun fire from above, a combat group went around the wall from under the oil tank and threw grenades at the outside of the wall.

The soldiers of the People's Liberation Movement did not expect the enemy to dare to counterattack, they were still trying to find a way to break through the machine gun suppression, a few grenades exploded in the crowd, the explosion and fragments directly caused the crowd gathered together to suffer heavy losses, the platoon that had lost half of the people killed seven people again, and the remaining ones, most of them were covered in blood and scarred.

Then, under the leadership of the team leader, the Shadow Company's combat team, codenamed Butter E, bravely climbed the outer wall of the airport, and then fired fiercely at the chaotic SPLM troops below.

The roundabout platoon of the People's Liberation Movement was also completely slaughtered, and the entire platoon of more than 30 people, except for two seriously wounded who crawled back to the battlefield, all the others died under the wall.

And the company commander in front command did not even know that his detour troops had been lost, he was still anxiously waiting for the battle line to change, his company was suppressed in the last two hundred meters, and he was unable to continue to move forward, so the company commander could only pin his hopes on his right front, the second company that was attacking the hangar on the southeast side, if they could open the breakthrough of the battle line, it would inevitably make the enemy on their side move.

But the news on the radio made him a little at a loss, because compared to his company, the second company suffered more resistance and suffered more casualties, and even less than an hour after the battle, the company commander of the second company had already become a platoon leader, because the original two commanders had already fallen one after another less than a hundred meters away from the hangar.

The offensive on the southern front of the entire airport has come to a standstill!
