Chapter 331: Sniping
"Do you speak Russian?"
Looking at the group of captives with their heads in their hands but confused faces, a Soviet officer turned around with a slight headache.
"Boss, there's no one here who speaks Russian!"
"Then can't you ask if you know English?"
Balleika, who was counting the aftermath of the battle, looked up impatiently, then jumped out of the chariot, kicked away his unconscious men, and walked over to the captive.
"Does anyone speak English?"
Soon a few guys raised their hands tremblingly, and then they were pulled out of the crowd by Soviet soldiers like chickens.
This is also something that can't be helped, as an elite unit, the Soviet soldiers in the Airborne Forces are basically strong men, and they start at one meter seven, especially those big guys who are responsible for resisting machine guns, and they have never been one meter eight.
"How many people are there in your camp?"
Baleleka pulled out her paratrooper knife and dangled it in front of her captive, intentionally or not, before asking.
Several of the captives looked at each other, but none spoke.
"Ivan, these guys are dumb, drag them out and kill them!"
"More than 170 people in all!"
Seeing that the Soviet soldiers on the side were about to come, several prisoners immediately began to report the numbers.
"One by one!"
"What about your commander?"
"Colonel Rob has gone to South Africa to meet his little lover!"
"Are there any other commanders?"
"It's all there!"
One of the captives pointed to the pile of corpses stacked on top of each other.
"Oh!"
Baleleika was a little surprised, he didn't expect that his operation would go so smoothly, and the backbone of the guerrillas would be swept away by himself, so that it would be difficult for the enemy to make a comeback after that, after all, there were no veterans, and a newly formed army had no combat effectiveness at all.
"Do you have any other bases?"
"There are a few, but there are very few of them, and they are in charge of mining minerals!"
"Last question, where are the American mercenaries who attacked the government forces?"
"You mean the Shadow Company?"
One of the captives wept and pointed to the northwest.
"They weren't with us, and the yellow-skinned commander thought we were dragging them too far and set up their camp to the north, but we didn't go there, and they forbade us in!"
"Damn!"
Balleika's good mood suddenly disappeared without a trace, her operation this time was for those mercenaries, when attacking, she was even thinking about why those American mercenaries were so vulnerable, and there was no heavy firepower, and now she understands.
I turned out to be in the wrong place, who would have thought that those mercenaries would start a new way and set up camp somewhere else?
"Damn, Ivan, take them down!"
The captain huffed back into the car and pulled out his map.
"North, north!"
Looking at the large area on the map that was not marked in the slightest, Baleleika immediately felt her scalp tingle, she took out the kettle at her waist, filled herself with cold well water, and then summoned several of her subordinate officers over.
"How much ammunition fuel do we have?"
"There are two-thirds left, and the fuel is enough, but the engine of car number seven is a little problematic and needs to be repaired!"
"Good news!"
The captain nodded, then said.
"Our intelligence is wrong, those mercenaries are not here, further north, the good news is that the terrain is not very complicated, mainly plains and a few river valleys, the bad news is that we are not sure where they are, so, what do you think, should we continue north?"
"Where are the government forces?"
"They're still about a hundred kilometers northeast of us!"
"I don't hope for the time being
They're gone!"
An officer of the Airborne Forces shook his head, then said.
"Then let's go it alone!"
No one chooses to back down, they are heroic airborne troops, who will only rise to the challenge in the face of the task.
"Okay, let the comrades clean up the battlefield, keep the prisoners in custody, leave a squad to guard, and we will continue to search north!"
Baleleika put away the map and jumped into the paratrooper chariot, while the other Airborne soldiers also boarded their respective chariots, and then, so the BD1 paratrooper chariot set off along the river valley in a northwesterly direction.
As soon as Captain Lee learned of the accident in the guerrilla camp, he sounded the battle alarm, and in addition to the three combat groups that were patrolling and guarding outside, the combat personnel he could command were 64 people, that is, seven combat groups plus one sniper detachment.
Unsure of how the Soviets would show up, Captain Lee first sent out a sniper detachment, which would set up a sniper position twenty to fifteen kilometers west of the camp, and since there were only a few routes from the guerrilla base to the Alpha detachment station, four double sniper teams were more than enough, each carrying a 12.7 mm sniper rifle and an 8.6 mm Timberwolves sniper rifle, and the secondary shooter would carry a P5 submachine gun for self-defense.
As for the three teams on the periphery, Captain Lee did not call them back, and these teams were also responsible for monitoring the movements of the government troops, and if the government forces were fighting with the Soviets, then these three teams would be responsible for delaying the government forces.
Captain Lee didn't think about retreating, even if he did, he would have to fight a battle, he had confidence in his team, and Shepard had never interfered with the front-line command, and even if he did, he would only use the transport plane to drop medals to the front instead of warrants.
Less than an hour after the sniper team was in position, Group 3 saw Soviet paratrooper tanks two kilometers away, cautiously advancing along the bottom of the valley.
"Alpha1, this is Owl 1, found a detachment of enemy vehicles, model BD1 paratrooper tank, number seven!"
"Huh? Seven?"
Captain Li frowned, a standard airborne company is ten vehicles, which means that three of the other party's whereabouts are unknown!
"Call all sniper teams, strengthen alert, the enemy still has three vehicles missing, Owl 1, you can fire, the timing is up to you, reinforcements have departed, good luck!"
"Owl 1 received!"
The eager shooter let out a sigh of relief, and then corrected the sniper scope little by little, and when they participated in the training, they knew that the rifle in their hand was developed with light armor damage in mind, but in the past, everyone used this thing to hit people, but now, he has the opportunity to test the actual power of the weapon!
Seeing that the paratrooper chariot in the scope had entered a distance of 1,500 meters, the shooter immediately pulled the trigger.
