Chapter 322: Whimsy

The Mozambican stronghold was located on a long ridge, and the camp was only a few dozen meters wide from the left and right sides of the hillside, so it was impossible to attack from the back.

The defenders can easily occupy the high ground and condescendingly beat the attackers into a lump of meatloaf.

After all, Uncle Black had not a burning stick in his hand, but a tried-and-tested Kalashnikov rifle!

While the old AK47 is inferior to the new AK in every way, it's still a lethal weapon that can easily shoot a huge bullet hole from a distance of 400 meters, and it's even easier to penetrate a PC's soft body armor.

Captain Lee did not want any casualties in his first independent operation, so the offensive operation had to be cautious and unexpected.

The battle meeting finally decided to attack from the back of the ridge, where the terrain was higher and the high ground would give it an advantage.

Subsequently, all members of the Alpha detachment were dispatched, carrying heavy equipment along the previous route, and rushed to the area where the stronghold was located.

The government forces are ignorant of outsiders, and although they have sent out daily patrols to patrol the surrounding area, the traces left by the PCs have been deliberately swept, and the patrols have not even found them several times when they pass by.

By the time they thought everything was fine, Detachment Alpha had bypassed the cordon and reached the ridge behind the garrison camp.

Because it was still early, the whole detachment was quietly crouched between the grooves and analyses of the valley, and everyone was either draped in camouflage nets or covered themselves with camouflage uniforms.

As the government troops in the camp begin their busy day for dinner, the PCs are munching on tasteless energy bars, a new addition to their field rations, consisting of grains and nuts, which have no taste and a mediocre texture, but provide enough calories and energy.

A group of PCs hated this thing, and even wondered if their boss had taken a kickback to buy it, but the lemon instant drink in the package still won everyone's unanimous welcome.

Waiting until the sun went down for the PC to move on, Captain Lee had his men bring two Swedish-made Gustav 84 mm 2 recoilless guns to the top of the hill before attacking.

This was the only direct fire support weapon they had at hand, and in addition, two 60mm mortars were also erected on the hill, but there were not many shells, and although the infantry helped, the mortar team carried less than forty ammunition in total, including a few smoke grenades, flares, etc.

However, there is no shortage of snipers, Captain Li let the professional sniper team spread out to find their own shooting positions very early, he is not a sniper expert, but he also knows that these one-shot killers should not be used as attacking troops, but his detachment still has accurate shooters, these shooters using the improved version of the 14 rifle undertake direct fire support tasks, their 14 rifles have tripods and grips, which are directly assigned to combat units for use at medium and close range.

Despite all the criticisms of the 14, Shepard still did not eliminate it directly, because Knight Ordnance's new precision marksman rifle was still under development, and the weapon system called SR25 was the brainchild of Stoner and Knight, and was even called the orthodox successor to the AR rifle in later generations.

As for 16, from the beginning of the three-shot streak, Stoner was eager to dissociate himself from him, just as a mother had kicked her son out of the house.

In addition, another reason to continue to use the 14 is because of the inventory problem, Shepard is optimistic about the other two of the three NATO heroes of the FaL and G3, but who let him have countless 14 stocks to use, it costs hundreds of dollars to buy a new gun, but the stock is free, just throw it away and replace it with a new one.

After all, many times, cost is the weight that determines winning or losing.

After nightfall, the Alpha detachment began its own covert engagement operation, and the PCs climbed cautiously and ascended from the other end of the ridge, where the terrain was narrower, but a few dozen meters higher than the stronghold, where the fire team could attack from a high position.

And while the fire team was carefully repairing the firing position less than four hundred meters from the enemy, the commando

Covert engagement is continuing.

The government camp was walled with a lot of wood and barbed wire, leaving only openings at the front to connect to the temporary road, where the terrain was gentle, which was also the focus of the enemy's defense, and the government troops not only built foxholes and machine-gun bunkers, but even dug trenches in the camp on the side of the road.

Probably because the commander felt that if there was really an enemy, it would definitely be a high probability of a frontal attack, after all, acting from behind, although there was a height advantage, but the terrain could not be used, only one machine gun was needed, and it was enough to kill a hundred guys who didn't know whether to live or die.

On the contrary, in the front, whether it is a road or a gentle slope, there are trees to cover it, and the enemy can rely on these trees to cover and cover the attack, and then enter the position of 300 meters of the camp to launch an attack.

Therefore, most of the firepower in the camp is facing forward, and even if it is a backward firepower point, it is targeted by snipers and precision shooters early, and the sentry who does not know that his head has been aimed at by the sniper scope is still dozing in his position.

Because there are no rotations, they have to be responsible for standing guard and rotating at night after patrolling during the day, which is really enough for people who have been busy all day.

Therefore, taking this opportunity, the sentries will seize the time to squint for a while, and some people have practiced the ability to stand and sleep without shaking.

However, the commander usually only checks the first sentry, and then returns to the room until dawn, leaving only the depressed sentry alone and uncomfortable.

Therefore, the sentries are not worried about being caught, and even sleep more unscrupulously, and now, the government army that has been in a relaxed state for a long time has lost its previous combat effectiveness, and the state of the soldiers is not at the same level at all, and at the beginning of the raid, how many people can react is a question!

But what does that have to do with the alpha detachment?

Seeing that the time had come to three o'clock in the morning, Captain Li immediately nodded, and then gave the attack order to the gunners who had been on standby for a long time.

"High-explosive shell, charge No. 1, target 420 meters, ready to fire!"

After the data was corrected by the gunner, a shell wrapped in a cartridge was taken out by the deputy shooter and handed to the gunner.

"Fire!"

Then, with two violent whistling sounds, the government camp not far away began to sway, and faintly light spots appeared, which were sparks exploded after the explosion of the shells.
