One thing to say is that when it comes to civil engineering work, the British still have ancestral talents. After all, the British Empire had seen it during World War I.
Although the civil engineering work here in the river valley does not reach one percent of that in the Somme River, it is still at least one ten thousandth of the level. The highlands on both sides, which are the focus of defense, are so hard to see that even the British feel that they are standing there. In order to see far, I used a machine to make a lot of wood and built a six-meter-high watchtower.
It's just that the employees of Shadow Company are determined not to stand guard there. They would rather lie down in the bushes and play house with the bugs than be cannon fodder on the defenseless watchtower.
So, a brave Sikh brother went up carrying his Lee Enfield rifle!
"Uh, are you sure the green turban that guy is wearing isn't used to indicate targets for snipers?"
"He's already standing up, there's no point in worrying about this!"
Everyone unanimously expressed their admiration for the British people's lack of integrity, and at the same time said they should keep a respectful distance to avoid splattering me with blood when they die!
The large-scale operations of BHP Company, coupled with the actions of Shadow Company, naturally cannot be concealed from the Belgians. After confirming that the British are determined to compete with them for the ore, the Belgians decide that they must give the British a little A kind warning to let these guys understand that the DRC will always be the DRC for Belgians!
So, on the second day after the big Sikh brothers went up to the tower, a dozen sneaky black uncles came over quietly.
The big Sikh brother who was watching from the tower relied on his sharp eyes to see Uncle Black approaching, and immediately alerted the Shadow Company PMC below.
Because the main force had not arrived yet, the commander of the team guarding here thought it would be better not to fire the first shot, so he ordered the snipers guarding both sides of the valley to fire warning shots to drive away these black uncles.
The sniper who accepted the order immediately pulled the trigger on the open space on both sides of Uncle Hei, trying to drive away the opponent. The bullet fell to the ground with a thud, splashing up a handful of dust.
Logically speaking, normal people would definitely choose to turn around and run away in this situation, but these black uncles were obviously not normal people. They very skillfully lay down in the grass on the ground, and then started to fire back, although they didn't know who the snipers were. Where, but as long as you shoot, that's right!
After a crackling beating, the gunshots of the black uncles also stopped, and then a few dark heads slowly emerged from the grass and began to look around.
The sniper lying in the shadow of the hill, covered with camouflage nets all over his body, and even the gun covered with a camouflage cover, resisted pulling the trigger on the heads of the trees, and then continued to shoot at the side. The gun sounded a warning, and after the bullets came crackling, the black uncles shrank back into the grass again and began to act like turtles.
"How about sending someone over to drive them away?"
"Wait and see if they leave!"
At this moment, the team commander just hated why he didn't have a mortar in his hand. If he had a mortar, it was only a distance of more than 700 meters. He only needed to fire one anti-explosive bomb and those guys would be finished. But now he had a mortar in his hand. There was only one m16 inside, so he could only wait helplessly.
Nearly an hour later, there was movement in the grass again. A black uncle popped out with his head peeping out, squirming like a target, but his companion made no movement at all.
An impatient sniper pulled the trigger again, preparing to scare the guy. The bullet landed less than one meter away from the opponent, sending grass clippings flying everywhere.
Uncle Hei was obviously frightened and hurriedly lay down again. Just when the sniper thought it was over, the grass where he had just shot suddenly fired several bullets and landed around him.
"Grass!"
The sniper was shocked. These black uncles also knew how to counter-snipe with decoys. This was no longer an ordinary black uncle. While the opponent was still pulling the bolt and preparing for the second shot, he decisively picked up the rifle and rolled to the left. His The location was very good, right on the hilly ridge zone. After two turns, it disappeared on the reverse slope, causing Uncle Hei to lose his target.
The team commander was also surprised, and then he felt lucky. Fortunately, those guys were not very good at shooting, otherwise his people would be doomed!
"How do those guys hit so accurately?"
"No. 4, next time that guy shows up, don't be polite, just kill that guy for me!"
The team leader said that he was lucky. Thanks to Shepard's stable supply of improved M14 rifles, each fire team now has two snipers or precision shooters. Although they are not professional enough, they are still enough to cause damage to unprotected exposed targets. Serious damage.
After repelling the first sniper, Uncle Hei quickly followed the same pattern again and began to tentatively expose his head to attract firepower. However, the second sniper was patient enough. He did not wait for the scalp of the opponent to be exposed before shooting. Instead, he waited for the guy to wander. After a long time, he finally couldn't help but leaned out almost half of his body, and then he pulled the trigger.
Bang bang bang!
The shooter simply pulled the trigger continuously. He did not fire fully automatically, but used semi-automatic mode.
Then, the shooter saw Uncle Hei shake violently, and then fell to the ground.
"Target down!"
"Good job, keep watching!"
The fallen Uncle Hei really startled the others. Seeing their companions who were twitching on the ground gradually dying, the Uncle Hei also knew that the other party had changed their attitude, so they stopped moving forward and waited until the sun set and the visibility dropped. , he lifted up the cold body of his companion and quickly disappeared.
"Those guys gave up?"
"Just because I've given up now doesn't mean I'll give up later. Those guys will definitely come back!"
The team leader looked at the time. At dinner time, a new team would come to replace him, but now it seemed that they had better not leave. After all, there was no guarantee that the opponent would come back with revenge at night.
"Let the brothers work hard tonight and stay in the position. I will tell the boss and reissue combat allowances to everyone!"
And the fact is indeed as the team leader expected. Just when the British in the camp were preparing to feast, the reinforcement helicopter from Shadow Company also flew to the camp. They brought the second team and two basic spares. ammunition, and just as the helicopter flew over the camp, the pilot saw a flash of fire in the distance.
"?"
"what is that?"
Just when the driver was about to give directions to the co-pilot, the whistling sound of shells and air friction came from the sky. Then, a small earth bag outside the camp seemed to suddenly expand, spewing out mud and black smoke.
Then, the voice of the commander of the second team came from the cabin.
"Mortar!"
