"Three o'clock, enemy infantry!"
"receive!"
Compared with the narrow armored vehicles, the trenches built by the Portuguese soldiers could be regarded as luxury suites, but Shepard would still rather stay in this small iron box, even though its armor was not very thick.
Shepard, who was sitting in the loader's position, watched Plomri on his right turn the turret, and then a muffled sound and vibration came from outside the vehicle. It was the opponent's breech-loaded mortar that was loading with a magazine and firing.
Through the observation window, Shepard saw an explosion of smoke and dust more than 100 meters away. It was caused by the explosion of a mortar shell. There were several Cuban soldiers there just now, but after the explosion, they had disappeared without a trace. I don't know if it was lost or moved to another place.
"These guys!"
Plumli sat in the gunner's position and scanned the area directly in front of him vigilantly. It was an undulating slope that was originally a position where mercenaries were stationed, but just twenty minutes ago, it was broken through by Cuban paratroopers.
Then six BRD police vehicles and a platoon of paratroopers came in.
It can only be said that the quality of mercenaries is really unstable. If the defense line is torn and the Shadow Company is replaced, the first reaction will definitely be to find a way to close the gap in the defense line. However, the first reaction of those French mercenaries is to abandon their position and prepare to retreat. When they got to the oil tank area and even retreated, these guys even dropped their machine guns and rocket launchers.
As a last resort, Shepard could only let the two A60 armored vehicles and two 0s next to him stop in place like machine gun bunkers, stuck in the gap, waiting for Charlie Martel to organize a counterattack.
Promly, who was sitting next to Shepard, stuck his head out of the turret and cursed at the mercenaries huddled behind the car.
"You guys with cerebral palsy, why don't you go back and hold the line and wait for the Cubans to invite you to smoke cigars in Havana?"
The four vehicles led by Shepard were in a very dangerous position. Originally, these fragile armored vehicles were not responsible for acting as fortresses to hold on to their positions, but to use their mobility to roam between various positions to provide fire support. However, the mercenaries' unauthorized actions Shepard, who was retreating, placed these cars at the front.
"Every vehicle, be careful, be careful of those BRDs. Their 14.5mm machine guns can easily penetrate us, so everyone..."
Before Shepard could finish speaking, a flat iron head was revealed about two hundred meters to the left in front of him. It was a BRD machine gun turret hiding behind the hillside. This reconnaissance vehicle Che immediately spotted the Shadow Company armored vehicle parked on the defensive position.
The Cuban gunner did not rush to fire, but waited for the anti-tank team on his left to be in position. They were equipped with RPG rocket launchers. At this distance, they could completely defeat their opponents.
It's just that the actions of the anti-tank team were somewhat ink-stained. Just as the shooter was loading ammunition, the gunner of the 0 armored vehicle on Shepard's left, which was the vehicle he was sitting in before, discovered the BRD gunner in front of him and immediately pressed the button on the BRD turret. When the trigger was moved, two roaring heavy machine guns immediately sprayed the BRD armor with bullets.
Such a turn of events shocked the Cuban crew. The driver reversed without saying a word, and the gunner was even more clever. He directly lowered his body and retracted himself into the car's rear position in an extremely awkward posture.
Although the armor was rattled, fortunately because the driver responded promptly, only a dozen bullets hit the turret's armor, and the remaining bullets all hit the back of the hillside.
However, the anti-tank team was not as lucky as the reconnaissance vehicle. 0 promptly reported the enemy's position, and with the guidance of tracer bullets, the A60 armored vehicle with Shepard locked on the hillside, and when the anti-tank team emerged, it fired A mortar round was fired. .z.br>
Due to the angle, the mortar shell did not fall on the heads of the Cuban anti-tank team, but exploded in front of them. The explosion caused the bazooka operator to tilt his aim, and the bazooka lost control and fired a shot into the sky.
The Cuban anti-tank team that failed in the sneak attack immediately rolled and climbed down the hillside.
Although the sneak attack was not successful, it was enough to put all the Shadow Company crews under tremendous pressure. Not long after the two vehicles on the left exchanged fire, Shepard
The second A60 about two hundred meters west of Germany found a Cuban reconnaissance vehicle in front of it.
Seeing that the latter didn't seem to notice him, half of the car body was carelessly exposed behind the hillside. The gunner in the armored car immediately controlled the turret to turn, preparing to hit the opponent hard, but when he took aim, the A60 armored car's There was a sudden light at eleven o'clock and two o'clock.
The gunner of the A60 only had time to scream, and the two lines of fire slammed into its body armor. The 14.5 mm large-caliber armor-piercing incendiary bomb easily tore apart the A60 at a distance of two hundred meters. The gunner sitting in the turret position was the first to fall, while the loader on his left was hit by a ricochet and crawled out of the hatch screaming.
The driver reacted when he was beaten and tried to escape, but failed in the end. He only had time to fall about ten meters before being overtaken by bullets again.
The Cuban crew finished shooting an entire ammunition chain, and they did not stop shooting until they could even see the holes in the front of the A60 armored vehicle.
"Car No. 3, Car No. 3, answer!"
"Attention, every car, go back, go back!"
Seeing no answer from the friendly forces, Shepard could only let the remaining two vehicles retreat with him. After seeing the Shadow Company crew reversing, the two Cuban reconnaissance vehicles immediately lost their patience and prepared to drive out and beat up the drowned dog.
They targeted Shepard's car as it was retreating back up the hillside, but due to the angle, they could not catch up with Shepard who was reversing at full speed.
So the captains of the two vehicles made a bold decision. They asked the reconnaissance vehicle to drive up the hillside. While they were trying to climb the hillside, the 0 reconnaissance vehicles on the left and right of Shepard had already found a brand new shooting target. angle.
So the two reconnaissance vehicles that were still climbing the slope encountered blocking fire from their sides. One reconnaissance vehicle was penetrated first, and the driver died on the spot. Only the gunner climbed out dragging his bleeding body, while the other vehicle After being attacked, they fought back with difficulty in the rain of bullets. After a brutal exchange of fire between the two sides, all members of the Cuban reconnaissance vehicle were killed, while 0's engine was set on fire, and the crew inside came out with the flames on their bodies. Escape from the car.
After both sides lost two vehicles each, the tank battle came to an end again. The Cuban paratroopers took the initiative to retreat and gave up the newly opened defense line. However, the defenders who regained their position showed no joy at all.
