Although it is used as an anti-tank, since it is equipped with high-explosive bombs, there is no problem in using the M40 106mm recoilless rifle to hit infantry, just like in the game everyone likes to use anti-aircraft guns to hit ground targets.
The Belgian mercenaries who were busy with civil work at the foot of the hillside were no longer as calm as before. The bombing from the recoilless rifles above the hillside had already caused them to lose a dozen brothers, but because Eck did not want to give up such a good attack position, the mercenaries The soldiers could only hide themselves under the hillside as much as possible.
But just like you can't hide an elephant with a big tree, the sparse vegetation below the high ground can't completely hide the mercenaries.
In particular, the m40 recoilless gun also has a matching m8c optical sight. Although the magnification of this thing is not high, it is no problem for observing the wind and grass below, not to mention that there are many snipers on the position. .
Therefore, the only thing that can limit the recoilless gun team from killing everyone is the limited ammunition on the jeep.
As for counterattack, don't even think about it. The recoilless rifle group is a full 900 meters away from the bottom of the hillside. This distance is trivial for a recoilless rifle with a range of 7,000 meters, but for the Belgian mercenaries below In general, it was a bit helpless, but fortunately Francois had sent reinforcements, so the mercenaries were still able to endure the cannon bombardment by crawling below.
Although he was surprised that his opponent had a recoilless gun, Francois was not too surprised. After all, he also had a field gun, which was commanded by professional artillerymen!
Immediately, the mercenary artillery began to shift the direction of the artillery. The commander responsible for calculating the shooting data quickly calculated the distance based on the map that had been marked long ago, and then passed it to the artillery behind him in real time.
In less than ten minutes, several field guns began to roar, tilting high-explosive bombs onto the head of the Butter Squad.
"???"
The PMCs who were taking time to eat and drink on the battlefield immediately ignored the pots and pans and looked for cover everywhere. After a while, the wounded screamed in anger.
"Medic!"
Eck was also shouting loudly. What he wanted to destroy was the cunning jeep, but the artillerymen smashed all the small number of shells into the defensive position.
Amid Eck's angry scolding, the artillerymen urgently corrected the coordinates, and then fired another salvo. This time the artillery fire successfully hit the target area, but the problem was that the jeep had already run away!
As early as the first shelling fell, Hannibal, who was worried that something might happen to the only supporting artillery, immediately ordered the jeep to return to the camp. So when the shells fell, the jeep had already driven down the hillside and got behind the tall mountains. Disappear. Francois' support hit nothing.
Although they failed to destroy the jeep, it was not bad to drive the opponent away. Seeing that there was no threat, the mercenaries immediately started civil work again, and soon dug out many personal prone shooting bunkers. Then, with a roar, The two unlucky guys went up to the sky again without even screaming.
"what's the situation?"
"Bombardment!"
The confused mercenary looked around, and soon saw the culprit. The recoilless rifle that had just escaped was back!
And this time, he also added cannonballs!
So the Belgian mercenaries could only cover themselves up like ostriches again, and Eck immediately called the artillery. This time, the artillery's response was not unpleasant. They completed the steering and ranging within five minutes, and then A shelling was carried out.
Then, the jeep ran back again, and the shell hit the Butter Team on the head again. Although no one was hurt this time, the team's meal process was interrupted again in the middle of the meal. This made the PMCs couldn't help but get furious, and everyone fought fiercely. It doesn't matter if you can't eat hot food for a few hours in this situation. How come you have to be bombarded even if you eat a biscuit or a sip of cold water?
What was even more tormenting were the Belgian mercenaries at the foot of the hillside. After being killed by a recoilless rifle and injuring more than 20 people, many mercenaries were already asking Eck to retreat.
Fortunately, Eck had enough prestige to suppress his men for the time being, but it was impossible to count on the artillery. Those field artillery shootings were too time-consuming. As a last resort, Eck could only ask Francois to move the two mortar jeeps. Call in to help.
The two jeeps were loaded with legal 81mm mortars, which were also sold to Africa. Compared with the 50mm mortars used by the black uncles themselves, they not only had a longer range, but were also much more powerful. During the siege of Jadotville in 1961 During the war, Fabian mercenaries were already mounting mortars on jeeps for use.
After receiving the order, the two jeeps immediately drove back to the forest, made a big circle and drove out of the southern forest again. As soon as they exited the forest, the mercenary driving the jeep saw a ball of fire bursting in front of them, and then, there was a black man. The dot was blown up into the sky and landed on the hood of the car.
It was the helmet of an unlucky guy. It was burnt black and steaming. But the driver had seen it before. He raised his hand and threw the helmet aside. Then he continued driving and parked the jeep in the shadows at the edge of the forest. down.
"Hurry up to the gun position!"
The mercenaries raced against time to adjust the firing angle and charge, while the recoilless rifles on the hillside were still obsessed with beating the mercenaries below who were unable to fight back, unable to extricate themselves until a roaring mortar shell landed less than two feet away from the jeep. Ten meters away, when shrapnel even crashed into the body of the vehicle, the team noticed the mercenary mortar hiding in the shadows.
Without any hesitation, the driver jumped into the car and began to shift positions. He parked the car further south of the hillside, where the terrain was flatter and the view was clearer.
The loader picked up a heat ammunition, which is a hollow-charge armor-piercing ammunition. It is an ammunition that penetrates armor with a metal jet formed after the explosion of a shaped charge.
This recoilless rifle is a powerful weapon for anti-armor, and it is even more handy for blasting jeeps.
The mortar also saw the recoilless rifle that had changed its position, and the two sides immediately began a hand speed competition to see who could make corrections and fire first.
In the end, the recoilless gun was slightly better and fired a shot first. Although this round of ammunition failed to hit any jeep directly, it still missed the jeep and the explosion directly hit the jeep. The mercenary fell down, and although the second mortar successfully completed the shooting, due to an error in distance measurement, the shell missed by more than thirty meters, with no result other than exploding a pool of soil.
Now, it’s the turn of both sides to start the second round of competition!
