"boom!"
The armor-piercing ammunition fired from the 12.7mm sniper rifle accurately landed on the body of the leading paratrooper tank after flying for one and a half seconds. The projectile violently hit the body of the paratrooper tank and made a loud noise.
The airborne troops in the car felt as if someone had punched their beloved tank. When they realized something was wrong, they did not stop the car, but issued a warning to the car behind them. Then the driver drove the tank to the leeward place at the foot of the mountain. .
Before the car came to a stop, the paratroopers in the rear crew compartment climbed out from the roof entrance, then jumped out of the car and started to guard.
Then, the commander who got out of the vehicle saw a ten centimeter-long crack on the front of the paratrooper tank.
The armor-piercing bullet that hit the front of the paratrooper tank did not penetrate the front armor at a distance of 1,500 meters. The core deformed and ricocheted after hitting the vehicle, and then cut through the upper armor of the vehicle. A not-so-shallow gap was left on it.
The Soviet airborne troops who saw the gap immediately reacted and notified the friendly forces that someone was attacking them. At this time, the airborne troops outside the vehicle heard a dull gunshot again.
Then, a ball of metal sparks lit up in front of the No. 2 car that replaced the No. 1 car. It was caused by the collision between the warhead and the armor. However, this shot also did not penetrate, but still left a white streak on the paratrooper tank. mark.
"It's a sniper, he's attacking us with an anti-tank gun!"
"Anti-tank gun, does that guy think he's fighting World War II?"
"Has anyone noticed his location?"
The unknown sniper still caused a little panic to the Soviet airborne troops.
However, the airborne troops soon calmed down. They were located at the bottom of the valley, so there were not many positions where the enemy could snipe. Although they could not see where the opponent was, they could just hear the sound of gunshots and the sounds of tanks being hit. The snipers in the airborne troops have already guessed the approximate distance between the opponent and themselves.
"Speed up in the first row, get off in the second row!"
Baleleka's plan was to advance in two directions. The first platoon used tanks to attack and attract snipers to fire, while the second platoon climbed up the mountainside to seize favorable terrain and encircle and suppress the enemy's snipers.
There is nothing wrong with this plan, but the premise is that their judgment is correct. Because only one person fires, the airborne troops habitually judge that the other party is only one person. Therefore, when one row is continuously being shot, the second row's The airborne troops dropped their burdens and climbed quickly with only their weapons on their backs. When the second row climbed halfway up the mountain and prepared to advance, another gunshot sounded completely different from the previous ones.
"ah!"
An airborne soldier who stood still and tried to observe the situation screamed and fell to the ground. He clutched his shoulders tightly, where a large amount of blood red was spreading, and soon half of his shoulders were stained red.
"Hygienist!"
The airborne troops reacted very quickly. Everyone immediately lay down on the ground and curled up. The few soldiers who were close to the wounded carefully leaned into the wounded, and then threw smoke bombs in all directions. After the smoke dissipated, they quickly contacted the health workers. The wounded were dragged to the reverse slope for treatment.
"Captain, there is a sniper. We don't know where he is, but that guy pinned us down!"
"Understood. Do you have any casualties?"
"Belev was shot in the shoulder, we are going to try another method!"
"Understood, be careful!"
The second platoon leader was quite aggrieved. When had he ever experienced such injustice when he traveled all over the country? He didn't even see the enemy's face, and one of his own fell first!
"Alexei, can you tell where he is?"
The platoon leader looked at his only sniper, who was trying hard to observe the surroundings using various means, but unfortunately, he only saw mountains and grass.
No matter what, Shepard has copied a lot of things from later generations. As long as he mentions the sniper's latent camouflage, professionals will naturally study it. Even the Army and Marine Corps are preparing to hire Build a professional sniper training camp the way Shadow Company instructors do.
Although the Soviet Union invested a lot in snipers, the focus was different after all.
Faced with a sniper who has made enough disguises and built a sufficiently secretive shooting bunker, it is normal for him not to be able to find the opponent's traces!
It's just that the Soviet airborne troops were not used to sitting still and waiting for death. Soon they began to try to use bait to lure the second sniper to shoot, but the latter was also calm. No matter how the other sniper tried to seduce him, he would not be fooled. When the airborne troops tried to show their heads, he fired one shot.
Because of the distance and the interference of the wind, the shot failed to hit the bold airborne soldiers, but it suppressed them again. This time, the Soviet snipers were aware of the location of the Shadow Company snipers. , but before they could figure out how to counterattack, the second platoon received the order from the captain.
"Let's retreat!"
"Why, what happened?"
The second platoon leader asked puzzledly.
Baleleka somewhat underestimated the AX anti-equipment rifle in the hands of the Shadow Company sniper. Although the latter did not pose any effective threat to the paratrooper tank at a distance of one thousand meters, they also could not find the opponent's rifle. position, for which the captain could only continue to allow one platoon to advance.
Then at a distance of 700 meters, an armor-piercing projectile fired by a sniper penetrated a paratrooper tank. After the bullet core penetrated the armor, it destroyed the turret's hydraulic system, and the lubricating oil immediately covered the commander's body.
So the paratrooper tank had to withdraw from the queue, but the convoy did not stop moving forward. Then, the second paratrooper tank was also penetrated, but the sniper fired three shots but failed to cause any damage to the paratrooper tank. Even after one bullet penetrated the armor, it was shot out of the commander's clothes, leaving a hole. The fourth shot was not so lucky. After the bullet penetrated the armor, it somehow entered the battlefield again. The car's power compartment.
Immediately, the paratrooper tank began to emit white smoke, and the engine began to vibrate and lose control. After learning about the condition of the vehicle, Baleleka was immediately in a dilemma. She wanted to continue the attack, but for this she caught a A paratrooper tank seems a bit uneconomical.
As a last resort, she could only order the convoy to stop, and then used smoke to cover the tank whose engine was no longer working. Shadow Company's snipers took advantage of the chaos and fired a few more shots, but they did not cause greater damage to the paratrooper tank. , so he gave up and continued to fire. ap.
The airborne troops dragged the damaged paratrooper tank to another vehicle and began to retreat until they were several kilometers away.
The first battle between the 213th company and the alpha unit ended like this.
