"Two o'clock direction, 600 meters, enemy armored vehicle, armor-breaking shells loaded!"
"Reloading completed!"
With the recoilless rifle making a huge roar, six hundred meters away, a BRD armored vehicle that was shooting towards the mercenary position suddenly stopped as if it had hit something. A large piece of the armor located at the turret position appeared in pieces. It was cracked, and a hole was even torn out in the center.
Although the appearance of the car still remained intact, soon, as the ignited power compartment caught fire and ammunition and oil exploded, the armored car soon burned like a torch, and it was not until the car burned into a ball that , no one in the car could escape.
For this kind of light vehicle, the 106 anti-tank ammunition is no longer the difference between a strong man punching in the kindergarten. The recoilless rifle assigned to the battalion-level anti-tank firepower has to face the likes of T54, Main battle tanks like the T55 are now used by Shepard to fight armored vehicles. It can only be said that some of the crew members survive. The shattered armor can instantly turn the space in the vehicle into a meat grinder.
After destroying the target, the recoilless rifle team immediately began to move their positions. As soon as their front legs left the firing position, the rear leg shells and rockets fell. The Cuban paratroopers responsible for the attack received additional firepower. Not only did they have a large number of The rocket launcher and even an additional 82mm recoilless cannon are lighter and more flexible than the Shadow Company's 106mm recoilless cannon. A skilled Cuban shooter can easily use this gun to destroy all simple protection targets within 400 meters.
Therefore, Shadow Company's front-line direct-aiming firepower points could not stay at one point for a day like before. Instead, they began to compete with each other in a battle of wits and courage, because both sides could destroy each other within the effective range.
Such changes made the P's of Shadow Company very uncomfortable. On the contrary, the mercenaries who had been suppressed before gradually started to master their own rhythm.
Because the equipment levels of mercenaries vary, they often use similar tactics in battles. Many experienced mercenaries have even designed false targets on their own positions to lure Cuban soldiers to fire, and then carry out counter-sniper operations. .
After attacking for more than two hours, the Cuban army, which had lost almost two squads and two vehicles, once again pushed out of the battlefield. But just when everyone thought that this time it was over, there should be at least some time for everyone to rest. , another fierce attack launched from the east and south side of the airport.
This time the Cuban army even started an armored assault directly. The BTR152 armored personnel carrier began to charge again under the cover of the BRD reconnaissance vehicle. The artillery fire, which was even faster than before, once again tilted towards the defense line. Such a desperate and violent impact made the people on the defense line The defenders were caught off guard. Hannibal urgently mobilized his reserves and dispatched all the armored vehicles on hand to repel the Cuban army's attack.
Then, the Cubans seemed to go crazy and began to launch repeated attacks from the four directions of the airport, southeast and northwest. Relying on armor cover and artillery support, the Cubans did not suffer many casualties during the attack, and they were even conscious. Although armored personnel carriers were used to reduce possible combat casualties, such repeated and violent impacts still put huge pressure on the defenders.
"Okay, that's enough!"
Major Garcia, who was observing the battle from a high point, looked at the smoke column rising on the distant horizon and put down his telescope. For him, the goal had been achieved, and there was no need to inflict unnecessary casualties on his men.
"Captain Malashenko, when do their transport planes usually carry out airdrops?"
"It's about this time, probably about ten minutes left!"
"Well, I just did the math. They fired about 800 mortar shells during the defense. If the transport plane doesn't come to replenish it today, their ammunition reserves will drop to a dangerous level!"
"Then we launch another attack?"
"Of course, but not now!".z.br>
The two of them waited silently on the high ground until more than ten minutes later, a huge whistling sound came from the sky. Then, the transport plane loaded with new supplies landed at the airport under the setting sun. Before the plane stopped, , the P’s rushed forward, they wanted to unload the supplies as quickly as possible
Because runways one and two are at a dangerous distance, aircraft can only use runways three and four for takeoff and landing, which means that the airport can only land two transport planes at a time. If the supplies are not cleared in time, the following transport planes will not be able to land.
And just as everyone was carrying supplies in full swing, the battle alarm sounded again, and the sweaty P and mercenaries quickly returned to their fighting positions without even having time to put on their clothes.
"Let those two transport planes leave immediately before unloading all the things!"
Hannibal rushed back to the headquarters in a hurry. He wanted to contact the subsequent transport planes to stop their landing. The two transport planes that had landed before immediately closed their doors and took off in an emergency.
"See it!"
"Yes, transport planes are indeed very important to them!"
Major Garcia nodded with satisfaction.
"Then, in less than two days, the airport will be ours!"
"Okay, let's end it like this today!"
"What if they send the transport plane back?"
"Don't worry, Captain, they don't dare to gamble!"
Garcia said confidently.
The Cuban commander is indeed better at understanding people's hearts than anyone currently in the Shadow Company. He has figured out Hannibal's nature through previous continuous attacks and tests. Unexpectedly, this kind of personality is also the reason why Shepard chose him as the tactical commander, but in actual combat, Hannibal was easily targeted.
Because Hannibal was worried about problems with the landing of the transport plane, even if the Cubans were just another tentative feint attack, Hannibal, who was trying not to make any mistakes, still stopped the follow-up reinforcements and let all the transport planes that took off return. No one dares to bet at any time that as long as the Cubans enter within four kilometers of the airport runway, they may use mortars to pose a threat to the transport aircraft.
"The commander on the opposite side is very good, but it's a pity that he shouldn't choose this battlefield because there are too few options for them to play!"
Garcia made a gesture of holding an object with both hands, and then said.
"A strong fortress is certainly good for defense, but it also makes them overly dependent on these things. Therefore, the fortress will also become their cage, just like a lobster net, trapping them in it! Then , hang them all!"
