Chapter 367: Destroy
"At 3 o'clock, the ruins of the house are targeted, and the target is two!"
"Sniper at 4 o'clock, Poplar, knock him out!"
"Near the mosque, a squad of machine guns, short-footed, fire suppression!"
"The enemy squad on the east side is maneuvering, blocking a round of shots!"
Chen Shen has achieved the ultimate in on-the-spot command, he has given up shooting in person, although he knows that with his current marksmanship, he can play highly effective killing, but the problem is that what he wants to pursue is not the highest killing efficiency, but the most extreme "suppressive force".
Killing is not the goal, the purpose is to confuse the other party.
Let their every decision be immediately countered, their every action should be quickly interrupted, so that their cover is not safe, their attack will no longer be smooth, and even the right to observe will be completely lost.
In a light infantry duel, in the absence of significant differences in equipment between the two sides, the side with better protection and more advanced sights will have a completely unbreakable advantage.
Even if the other party used machine gun pickup trucks to deploy two heavy machine gun fire points in the village, at the moment of outcropping, the receiver was directly blown up by two large-caliber sniper shells, and the soldiers on the side were even directly scratched by the flying metal fragments.
The direct fire was completely ineffective, and after being suppressed for a full minute, the assault infantry finally came to their senses and began to set up small-caliber mortars and launch artillery bombardment on the positions of the Dongfeng Corps.
"Hidden!"
At the moment when the howling sound sounded, Chen Shen immediately ordered to disperse.
And just as his voice fell, the roar of the shell explosion also sounded in turn.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The dust was flying, and the nearest shell was less than ten meters away from Chen Shen.
The shrapnel was inserted directly into the side panels of the body armor, and the shock wave shook his ears.
This is indeed a very powerful response, and in fact, in a situation where direct fire is at an all-round disadvantage, the use of mortars for fire coverage is the absolutely correct choice.
Moreover, after the Zhu Yuan is set, all subsequent shelling does not need to be re-targeted, and the gunner can almost just keep stuffing the shells into the barrel!
The enemy under shelling will not have any chance to return fire, and smoke grenades will no longer be useful.
Theoretically, with mortars on one side and none, the battle is over when the first shell falls.
Chen Shen's campaign in Pubei was such a routine, and their victory has proven the reliability of this tactic.
——
However, this does not cover all battlefield situations.
The Dongfeng Corps still had the advantage of the field of vision, and after another round of smoke bombs were thrown, the Dongfeng Corps quickly shifted its position to the east a hundred meters.
It was not all members of the Raider infantry battalion who participated in this offensive, but only one of the companies.
The armament they possessed was not actually very "powerful", except for heavy machine guns and a small number of mortars and rocket launchers.
And now, under the premise that the observation equipment and protective equipment are completely crushed, they have no way to effectively suppress the seven people of the Dongfeng Corps with the weapons in their hands.
So, after two minutes of fighting, the fire support group finally sent a call for help.
The tank, which had been attacking the members of the 1st group in the jungle on the west side, finally made a new move, and with a sharp acceleration, the tank jerked up like a sports car in the movies, and then headed south along the west side road.
Li Bang and Liu Siyuan, who were hiding at the dock, observed their movements, so they immediately sent a signal to Group 1.
"Tank No. 1 is moving south!"
"Understood. We have people hurt! ”
Shi Dakai's voice came from the radio, and Chen Shen didn't care about the situation of the wounded, but asked:
"Can you continue to suppress it?"
"It can't be suppressed, the opponent's fire is fierce, we must retreat to the west!"
"Understand, retreat west and hide!"
Chen Shen decisively gave the order, and by this time, the enemy's tanks had reached the corner of the L-shaped road.
The speed has dropped to the limit, and this is the best opportunity for an assault.
But the problem was that the ferocity of the enemy's firepower deployed on the west flank completely exceeded Chen Shen's expectations, and under the cover of heavy artillery, mortars, heavy machine guns and tanks, even if there was smoke to obscure the vision, the 1st group was completely unable to counterattack.
Are you kidding?
The overhead is full of bullets flying randomly, and every corner of the body protruding from behind the trunk may be directly knocked away, in this case, what is there to talk about suppressing, and what is there to talk about hindering the attack of the opposing infantry?
Only by continuing to retreat westward, relying on denser woods to block bullets, can unnecessary casualties be avoided!
——
However, as soon as they retreated, the entire battle situation underwent extremely negative changes.
Originally, Chen Shen had won a certain advantage by relying on smoke grenades, relying on rapid maneuvering, and relying on the lethality far above the enemy, and the enemy's combat unit scheduling was indeed within his expectations.
But now, the opportunity is in front of him, but he has no ability to seize it at all!
Li Bang and Liu Siyuan's C4 is ready, but they can't go up to settle it.
Because after losing the suppression of the 1 group, the infantry on the western flank had already completed the arrangement of the "accompanying tank battle".
As long as the two of them show their heads, they will definitely become targets for the infantry.
The situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and the advantages that had been won so hard were lost, and even slipped into a more serious and dangerous situation than at the beginning.
Originally, in the jungle, they at least had enough cover to block the attack of the tanks.
But now, there was nothing in front of the group of seven.
As long as the tank drove over and rushed in front of them, the group of 7 people didn't even have a place to hide, and they directly became rats being chased away by cats
Chen Shen suddenly realized that he was now facing a major choice.
Or, it is to sacrifice Li Bang and Liu Siyuan to kill the tank and ensure the safety of the 7-person group.
Either that, give up the offense and gamble together.
Chen Shen felt hesitant for the first time.
He knew which choice was right, but he really couldn't make a decision right away.
Because the stakes are just too great.
——
But in reality, he didn't have to make a decision at all.
Because as soon as the tank reached the L-shaped corner, the Li Gang had already made a move.
He stood up from behind the ruins of the dock, turned around and threw a "packet" around the corner.
The bag crossed a distance of nearly 40 meters and spun and landed in the middle of the crowd behind the tank.
Then, at the moment of landing, an explosion suddenly sounded.
"Boom!"
Immediately afterwards, he picked up the M249 beside him and aimed at the infantry in the rear and continued to strafe.
The turret of the tank had turned towards him, and the 7.62 mm bullets from the side-by-side machine guns had begun to spit tongues of fire.
——
But, that's what he wants.
He was exposed for less than 3 seconds, and at the same time that the first bullet of the machine gun hit the side panels of the body armor, he had already collapsed.
At this time, Liu Siyuan, who was holding the C4, had already appeared on the side of the tank, and threw the C4 in his hand to the tank's path at a "just right" angle.
Subsequently, Liu Siyuan ran back with all his might.
The moment his body plunged into the water outside the dock, C4 exploded beneath the tank.
"Boom!"
The explosion was deafening, and the tank was directly lifted by the shock wave close to half a meter high!
And after the re-fall, an even more violent explosion erupted from inside the tank, and the screaming flames scattered like fireworks, and the members inside did not have time to react at all, and they were directly reduced to ashes in the blazing heat!
This power terrified the infantry who followed them, and before they could recover from the explosion of the Li Gang's "cluster grenade", they directly faced an even stronger explosion.
They didn't know what caused the tank to explode, and in their field of vision, the tank was just a normal drive past
But in reality, it was a full two kilograms of C4 that caused the explosion.
In a normal anti-terrorist police force, an average of 4 police officers will carry 500 grams of C4 explosives for breaking down doors, and the detonator and explosives are carried and stored separately to ensure the safety of explosives.
Coincidentally, 4 of the members of the surviving mobile brigade carried C4, that is, the explosives available in the hands of the Dongfeng Corps were actually two kilograms.
After confirming that the latter tank did not follow up, Li Bang decisively adjusted his tactics, he no longer pursued "precision killing", but used himself to attract the firepower of the infantry in the rear, creating an opportunity for Liu Siyuan to drop explosives.
Two kilograms of explosives, against a tank weighing only 7.9 tons, is actually enough to incapacitate the tank, even if it does not explode directly underneath.
But their luck was really good, or rather, their grasp of the time difference was quite good.
Tank No. 1 was completely destroyed, and the infantry that followed it was almost frightened, and they completely lost their basic judgment, like the heavenly soldiers who were attacked in Gaza, and began to retreat backwards in a loose formation that was completely unorganized and uncovered!
They probably thought that their own artillery had destroyed the tank.
They probably thought that their area was about to be bombarded by a new round of bombing.
This is the opportunity.
"Group 3 and 4 will chase me!"
Chen Shen immediately ordered, and the Li Gang had already stood up again.
At the edge of the ruins, M249 once again spat out tongues of fire and began to harvest the lives of enemies in front of it.
The advantage was established again, but only temporarily.
Because Chen Shen knew that there was still a tank in the distance, but his hole cards had already been played-
Probably not.
Just when everyone was preoccupied with hunting the enemy light infantry as much as possible, Liu Siyuan threw the last smoke bomb on his body again.
He then broke away from the group and rushed to the corner of the L-shaped road.
Chen Shen immediately understood his intentions, so he ordered loudly:
"3 groups cover Liu Siyuan!"
"1 group lay down the wounded and prepare for battle!"
"4 groups to intercept enemy fire support groups in the direction of the village!"
"Fire with all your might, suppress the shot in 30 seconds!"
In an instant, the density of the gunfire increased dramatically.
Although there were only 9 of them, at this moment, the firepower they burst out could almost match a company-level force.
No way, they have a full 4 light machine guns.
No one thinks about ammunition management anymore, and no one worries about the problem of "barrel overheating".
What they had to do was to pour the bullets in the chamber of the gun towards the enemy, and win the most critical opportunity for Liu Siyuan, who was already lying on the ground.
At this time, Liu Siyuan had already picked up the XM109 that he had dropped before.
He lay on the ground, motionless.
Not a single bullet landed on his side, and in the smoke, he looked like a corpse.
In the distance, on the other side of the L-shaped road, a second tank had already launched an assault.
The 76-mm rifled gun fired, and the shell flew directly in the direction of the pier, and then grazed the scalp of Li Bang at a distance of "a millimeter", flew into the lake behind him and fell far away.
"Liu Siyuan! Fast! ”
Chen Shen shouted loudly.
"Everybody get ready to evacuate! The enemy infantry is retreating! The shelling is coming! ”
The staggered battle lines were a magic weapon for the Dongfeng Corps to evade heavy artillery strikes from a distance, and they were always actively looking for opportunities to get close to them, but it was clear that the enemy was well aware of this.
As long as the direct-fire artillery can hit the place, they will definitely not entangle with the Dongfeng Corps, but immediately escape after taking a look at the face, and leave the problem to the artillery to solve.
And from the time they left the battle line to the arrival of the artillery fire, there was only a minute interval at most.
Liu Siyuan must take out the Scorpion tank in front of him within this minute.
With the XM109 in hand, the Dongfeng Corps finally no longer has no power to fight back in the face of this light tank.
Armor less than 15mm thick on the front has no problem defending against 12.7mm large-caliber bullets, but when facing an armor-piercing grenade with a caliber of 25mm and a penetration depth of 50mm, its armor is just a piece of paper.
"Bang!"
A huge fire rose in the smoke, and Liu Siyuan fired the first shot.
At a distance of almost two hundred meters, a large-caliber bullet passed through the front of the Scorpion tank, and no one could see the situation inside, but the direction of travel of this tank changed abruptly.
The driver was hit.
Perhaps, his body has been blown to pieces.
The Scorpion's travel speed slowed down instantly, but the semi-automatic XM109 wouldn't give him a chance.
"Bang!"
The second shot hit the turret and penetrated from the side.
The tank was completely incapacitated, and even the machine guns that were constantly firing had stopped.
The 76-mm rifled gun, which had a rate of fire of 8 rounds per minute, did not get a second chance to fire, and Liu Siyuan's third bullet hit the commander's position, and the piercing ammunition ignited the shells inside, and the detonation occurred again.
There was a loud bang, and the second tank also exploded into a violent fire.
"Onward! Advance! Enter the village! ”
Chen Shen shouted loudly, but in his headphones, Liu Siyuan's resolute reply came.
"I can see the other side's artillery positions!"
"The distance is 2.4 km!"
"Let me shoot!"
The words fell, and the gunshots rang out again.
"Bang! Bang! ”
After two consecutive shots, Liu Siyuan got up from the ground, dropped the XM109 that he had already discarded once, and desperately followed the team and rushed in the direction of the village.
There was a faint explosion coming from afar, but closer was the sound of heavy artillery shells exploding right behind them.
The tank is gone.
However, the battle is far from over.
But at least, the current Dongfeng Corps already has the conditions for evacuation
