After dragging the damaged tank back, Baleleka still wanted to check the situation in the valley, but then she saw about twenty mercenaries appearing on the top of the mountain. They stood there openly. On the top of the mountain, they also carry fully automatic grenade launchers and rocket launchers, and the warning is self-evident.
"Let's withdraw!"
Baleleka had no intention of continuing the fight. Their raid had lost its timeliness and the opponent was prepared. If they continued to fight, it would only increase their losses. .
What's more, they already have results they can explain, and taking them back can be regarded as an explanation, and it will also be convenient for them to ask for more support from their superiors.
And because Captain Li didn't know where the three additional paratrooper tanks of the airborne troops were, he didn't dare to take any drastic action. If he scattered all the people and the paratrooper tank suddenly rushed out from somewhere else, it would be a lot of fun. That's big.
After all, three vehicles meant that there was still a full platoon of airborne troops missing.
Both sides are extremely cautious about the initial test, because they don't know much about each other, so when facing their opponents, they can't help but make more preparations.
Therefore, when the Soviets all walked out of the controlled area, Captain Li realized that the situation was not as serious as he thought, because the Soviets dispatched seven vehicles!
"Damn it!"
At this time, Captain Li regretted it. If he had known better, he would have sent people to make pockets to lure the enemy deeper, instead of deploying snipers there to bluff.
But in general, Captain Li was very satisfied with his arrangement, especially the allocation of the sniper team. For this reason, he strongly requested Shepard to allocate more AX sniper rifles. After all, this thing is very useful.
Then, the alpha team received a new batch of improved 14 automatic rifles and a new AX sniper rifle. The former was specially prepared by Shepard for close combat. The prototype was the later k14od0 battle rifle, shortened The barrel was removed, and the flash suppressor was improved by Stoner, and it was also equipped with a new reflective red dot sight produced by Knight Ordnance.
The PCs were not very willing to accept this thing at first. After all, the improved AR rifles they were equipped with were more controllable, but Captain Li still forced each team to change to a K14.
While the PCs were making targeted preparations, Baleleka was not idle either. She also sent a report to Moscow, asking for more snipers or more sniper rifles.
The sniper team of Shadow Company left a deep impression on her, because the captain himself was also a good sniper. In addition to her, her company also had three other snipers. This configuration is not suitable for an ordinary airborne company. It was an excessive luxury, but the captain understood that it was okay for his men to defeat the exposed enemy infantry, but it would be a bit difficult to fight against those snipers.
Moscow quickly agreed to the captain's request and directly allocated a special detachment affiliated with the GRU to Mozambique.
There are only six people in this unit, but they are all excellent snipers. Their average sniper kills are over thirty, and one even reached fifty-four, second only to the captain's own seventy-two.
The arrival of these snipers undoubtedly gave Baleleka a shot in the arm. Since their withdrawal, the government troops responsible for covering the airborne troops have been targeted by mercenaries, who have clearly drawn a line. , intending to push government troops back from the current control area.
For this reason, snipers equipped with large-caliber sniper rifles will appear day and night at frontline government military strongholds, outposts and even campsites to carry out sneak attacks without interruption.
Less than a week after the airborne troops withdrew to the camp, almost thirty soldiers of the government army were killed by long-range snipers, including three officers and four non-commissioned officers. These losses were not unbearable for the government army, because those who had There are not many experienced and capable officers and non-commissioned officers in the government army.
But now, the GRU sniper team is here, and Baleleka has the confidence!
The snipers from the GRU are also eager to try. In Afghanistan, they have fought against guerrillas who like to drill into ravines, and they have also seen old hunters armed with old Mosin Nagant rifles.
How could they not be excited when a peer appears now at a human level!
So, after just one day of rest, the sniper team asked the captain to deploy them to the front line.
"Comrade Captain, my people are ready for battle!"
Faced with the GRU's request to fight, Baleleka did not refuse. She also sent snipers from her company to the captain, hoping that they could learn new things from these old seniors.
Then, the sniper team was sent by Mi-8 helicopter to a base that was most seriously harassed by frontline snipers.
It was a military camp located at the junction of desert and grassland. It was home to one and a half battalions of government troops. They were originally responsible for patrols within a radius of dozens of kilometers. However, due to the threat of snipers, the commander now did not dare to send any more troops. People go out.
"Because of those damn snipers, my people can't even go to the toilet without a break!"
Listening to the commander's complaint, the GRU captain just nodded lightly, and then asked the latter to cooperate with him in setting a trap for the opponent's sniper.
"Can you really do it?"
"Of course, but first we have to see those guys!"
Faced with the Soviets' request, the government army commander naturally could not object. He raised his hand to summon a few soldiers to give instructions, and then led the GRU outside the headquarters.
Several government soldiers made dummies out of straw and wooden sticks, then put on military uniforms and helmets, and then carefully placed them behind the camp wall.
The soldier slowly raised the dummy, letting the latter's head go over the wall. It looked like an officer who wanted to observe the situation outside. In order to make it look more disguised, they also made a fake wooden telescope. Glued to the helmet.
After the dummy hung around the wall for a while, a gunshot was heard outside. Then the dummy's head and helmet cracked open like a watermelon. The helmet flew up high and fell down again. He even rolled around on the ground a few times, and then turned to the feet of the GRU captain.
"One second, three to four, at least 1,300 meters away! The opponent looks very confident!"
A sniper with a stopwatch slowly ticked off the numbers he had recorded.
"Well, he seems to be a master!"
The GRU captain picked up the helmet that had a huge hole in it and was almost cracked, looked at it for a few seconds, and then said.
"But this is what makes it challenging!"
