Chapter 332: Stop, Stop
"Bang!"
The armor-piercing ammunition fired from the 12.7mm sniper rifle flew for a second and a half and landed accurately on the body of the paratrooper fighting vehicle that hit the head, and the projectile slammed into the body of the vehicle, and then made a loud noise.
The airborne troops in the car felt as if someone had punched their beloved chariot, and when they realized that something was wrong, they did not stop, but issued a warning to the car behind, and then the driver drove the chariot to the leeward part of the hill.
Before the car could stop, the paratroopers in the rear crew compartment climbed out of the entrance to the roof of the car, and then jumped out of the car to start the alert.
Then, the commander who got out of the car saw a crack in the front of the paratrooper chariot that was ten centimeters long.
The armor-piercing projectile that hit the front of the paratrooper tank did not penetrate the frontal armor at a distance of 1,500 meters, and the core deformed and richeted after the hit, and then cut along the upper armor of the car, leaving a not-so-shallow gap in the car.
The Soviet airborne troops, who saw the gap, immediately reacted and informed the friendly forces that someone was attacking them, and at this time, the airborne troops outside the car heard a dull gunfire again.
Then, a metal spark lit up in front of the second car, which replaced the first car, which was produced by the collision of the warhead and the armor, but the shot also did not penetrate, but still left a white mark on the paratrooper fighting vehicle.
"It's a sniper, he's attacking us with an anti-tank gun!"
"Anti-tank guns, does that guy think he's fighting World War II?"
"Has anyone noticed his location?"
The unknown sniper still caused a little panic among the Soviet Airborne Forces.
However, soon the airborne troops calmed down, they were located at the bottom of the valley, so there were not many positions where the enemy could snipe, although they could not see where the other party was, but just listening to the sound of gunfire and the sound of the tank being shot, the snipers in the airborne troops had already guessed the approximate distance between the other party and themselves.
"Accelerate in the first row, get out of the second row!"
Baleleika's plan was to go on two fronts, with the first platoon attacking with chariots to attract snipers to open fire, and the second platoon climbing the mountainside to seize the advantageous terrain and encircle the enemy snipers.
There is nothing wrong with this plan, but the premise is that they are not wrong in their judgment, because they only fire alone, so the airborne troops habitually judge that the other party is alone, therefore, when the first platoon is continuously fired, the airborne troops of the second platoon are dropping their burdens and climbing quickly with only weapons on their backs, and when the second platoon climbs halfway up the mountain and is ready to move forward, then another gunfire is completely different from before.
"Ahh
An airborne soldier who stood still and tried to observe the situation screamed and fell to the ground, clutching his shoulders tightly, where a large patch of blood red was spreading, and soon half of his shoulders were red.
"Hygienist!"
A group of airborne troops reacted very quickly, everyone immediately lay on the ground and curled up, and several soldiers close to the wounded cautiously leaned into the wounded, and then threw smoke bombs around, and when the smoke dispersed, they quickly dragged the wounded to the anticline with the hygienist for treatment.
"Captain, there's a sniper, we don't know where he is, but the guy held us down!"
"Understood, have you been killed or wounded?"
"Belev was shot in the shoulder, and we're going to try something else!"
"Understand, be careful!"
The second platoon commander was quite aggrieved, when did he suffer this kind of grievance when he went south and north, he didn't even see the face of the enemy, and his own people fell first!
"Alexey, can you tell where he is?"
The platoon commander looked at the only sniper on his side, who was trying to look around by all means, but unfortunately, he could only see mountains and grass as far as he could see.
Shepard has copied a lot of things from later generations, and the sniper's hidden camouflage will naturally be studied by professionals as long as he mentions it, and even the Army and Marine Corps are preparing to establish a professional sniper training camp by hiring Shadow Company instructors.
Although the Soviet Union invested a lot in snipers, after all, the focus was different.
In the face of a sniper who has done enough camouflage and built enough stealthy shooting bunkers, it is normal that they can't find the traces of the other party!
It's just that the Soviet airborne troops are not used to sitting still, and soon they began to try to use bait to seduce the second sniper to shoot, but the latter was equally calm, no matter how the other party seduced, he was not fooled, until an impatient airborne soldier tried to show his head, and he fired a shot.
Because of the distance, coupled with the interference of the wind, this shot failed to hit the brave airborne troops, but it also suppressed them again, and this time the Soviet snipers were aware of the position of the Shadow Company snipers, but before they could figure out how to counterattack, the second platoon received the captain's order.
"Let's retreat!"
"Why, what happened?"
The second platoon commander asked puzzled.
Baleleika underestimated the AX anti-materiel rifles in the hands of the Shadow Company snipers, and although the latter did not pose any effective threat to the paratrooper fighting vehicles at a distance of a thousand meters, they could not find the position of the other side either, so the captain had to continue to let the platoon advance.
Then, at a distance of seven hundred meters, an armor-piercing projectile fired by a sniper pierced a paratrooper fighting vehicle, the core of which destroyed the turret's hydraulics after penetrating the armor, and the lubricating oil immediately nourished the commander.
So the paratrooper tank had to withdraw from the queue, but the convoy did not stop advancing, and then, the second paratrooper tank was also penetrated, but the sniper fired three shots without causing any damage to the paratrooper tank, and even after a bullet penetrated the armor, it was shot out of the commander's clothes, leaving a bullet hole, and the fourth shot was not so lucky, after the bullet penetrated the armor, somehow it entered the power compartment of the tank.
Immediately the paratrooper chariot began to emit white smoke, the engine began to tremble, and it lost control, and after learning of the condition of the car, Baleleika was in a dilemma, she wanted to continue the attack, but it seemed that it was not cost-effective to take a paratrooper chariot for this purpose.
As a last resort, she could only order the convoy to stop, and then cast smoke to cover the vehicle with the engine no longer working, and the sniper of the Shadow Company took advantage of the chaos to fire a few more shots, but none of them caused more damage to the paratrooper tank, so he gave up and continued to fire. ap.
The airborne troops, on the other hand, dragged the damaged paratrooper tank to another vehicle and began to retreat until they were several kilometers away.
The first encounter between the 213th Company and the Alpha detachment came to an end for the time being.
