Chapter 71: Sniper Cannon

Dark clouds covered the stars, and heavy rains came as expected. Dense water lines poured down from the sky and slapped on the yellow sand, sucking them clean.

More than 1,000 people and more than 2,000 feet stepping on it will not feel muddy at all, but will only make them feel more at ease.

The garrison at the port can basically figure out the approximate number of people from the back and forth tests in the past. If the reinforcements are not counted, and the mercenaries led by Yang Buxu are added, it can barely reach a one-to-one equality.

Combat strength.

Although the opposition's equipment is slightly inferior to that of the government forces, they still have an absolute advantage in terms of geographical location. If there is anything else the government forces can say about this terrain, it is only the coastline, which is the only area that is hundreds of meters above the ground.

There are many meters of cliffs.

"Did you see those three gantry frames that bore the brunt of the attack? The biggest obstacle to this raid was the firepower mounted on them."

On the breakwater, following the direction of Yang Buxu's finger, he could vaguely see through the rain curtain several dozen-meter-high gantry frames used to hoist containers across the pier. Steel plates were added to the originally half-meter-wide beams.

, it has been tested from previous firefights that these steel plates are enough to withstand continuous firing of 7.62mm bullets.

"In such weather, snipers do not pose much of a threat to people hiding behind steel plates and shooting through shooting holes."

Zhang Xiaofan used a telescope to estimate the approximate distance and angle. Apart from using massive rockets to deal damage, he really couldn't think of anything else.

"The ultimate attack distance of the RPG-7 rocket is 1,000 meters. Beyond this distance, the rocket will self-destruct. The distance from the embankment to the gantry is definitely beyond this. Even if the angle is really accurate, the fragments generated after the self-destruction are very difficult to avoid."

It doesn’t matter to the person behind the steel plate either.”

The mercenary named Sean who was lying next to him suddenly took over the conversation. Since setting off, this guy who is considered a loyal "supporter" of Yang Buxu has been following him around. In addition to him, there is also a guy named Ward.

The same goes for the little black guy.

"600 meters, for rockets to be effective, they must advance at least this distance, so the container defense belt below is the key. The mortars placed behind it are a natural chasm that we cannot cross.

More than a dozen Soviet-style 2K21-style 82mm rapid-fire mortars take care of the government's positions every day. The maximum range of 4,270 meters can just hit the cliff behind. Although there are not many scorch marks on the embankment, this is just because the opponent is afraid

Anti-explosive bombs destroyed this place, and the waves threaten the safety of ships in the port. Otherwise, do you think you can stand here?"

At this time, a left-behind officer from the government army beside him spoke.

"If they use mortars to bombard you, you won't fire them back. In terms of weapons, you are no worse than them."

After Yao Bing retorted a few words, the officer seemed particularly embarrassed.

"Based on the maximum range, we must place the mortar position halfway up the mountain.

As you walked all the way just now, you also know that from the top of the mountain to the dike, there is a cliff on the left and a cliff on the right. It is not that we have never bombed each other, but no matter how concentrated the artillery is on the enemy, it only takes a few rounds of killing bombs to kill us, and we can kill a large area, and

They have a large number of containers as cover. The shrapnel exploded by the shells that fell nearby were blocked by the iron sheets of the surrounding containers. Without waiting for the adjustment to be accurate, a large number of shells were pressed down. It would be great to get a whole body.

.

Of the thirty mortars originally equipped, after a few rounds only four were left on the top of the mountain."

Several people recalled in their minds the road they came from. Indeed, as the officer said, the road was narrow and long, which was very unfavorable for the deployment of mortar positions.

Now behind

Mercenaries are no better than regular armies. They have absolutely no sense of honor and belonging. It is nonsense to risk one's life and fight hard without retreating. They are all money slaves and scavengers. Such nature determines that once there are considerable casualties, they will be completely defeated.

It is inevitable for everyone to escape for their lives.

Therefore, the platoon-type firepower points arranged on these three gantry frames must be cleared. Just when Yang Buxuan was at a loss what to do, the little black guy with no sense of presence said very nonchalantly:

"I don't know what your brains are. If you have a mortar with a range of more than 4,000 meters, you don't have to use rockets with a range of only 1,000 meters, and the effect is not ideal."

"Okay, come on, that's a mortar. Do you think it's a cruise missile with a positioning function? The area on the beam is at most half a meter wide. A mortar needs to be used to accurately target the shells from several thousand meters away.

Hitting the crossbar is no easier than shooting a ball from the edge of the football field to the other end."

"Just go ahead, my ghost cannon has never been afraid of anyone! Give a cannon a scope, and I can shoot anywhere within 2,500 meters. Let me show you what a sniper cannon is."

"Sniper? If you don't brag, you will die! If you can really do it, I, Yao Bing, will worship you as my eldest brother on the spot and give you the second spot in the Pleasant Goat Mercenary Group!"

This is not Yao Bing's deliberate teasing. He has seen snipers before, but this is the first time he has heard of this sniper. If he really had this magical skill, this guy would still need to come here to make quick money. Any mercenary company would have to pay a high salary.

I rushed to hire him as an instructor.

"Old Yao, don't be so careless. You alone don't have the say to let other people join the group!"

Knowing that this guy had big buck teeth and was full of talk, Alice who was next to him hit him hard on the back of the head. One thing at a time, only Alice in the whole team could restrain him.

"It sounds like it's a surprise to someone. I'm used to being alone, so who wants to join your mercenary group?

Who said there are four more cannons? Get me one. Just give me three rounds of ammunition.

One shot for a gantry, and one shot for more. I will carry your shoes as a little brother. If the task is successfully completed, he will use his set of teeth to chew 500 kilograms of corn for me! I want to see who is better at the thresher, or you.

Big buck teeth are awesome!”

Yao Bing, with his bad temper, could not bear the teasing! He immediately wanted to get angry and take action, but was pulled back by Yang Buxuan beside him. Seeing the little black man in front of him patting his chest and looking confident, he thought that maybe this could be done.

.

Everyone can tell lies, but whether others believe it or not depends on fate. Except for Yang Buxu, almost no one here would believe this little man named Ward. Two thousand five hundred meters with mortars

Fixed-point sniping, and only using three rounds of artillery shells, is simply a fantasy.

"Ward, do you really mean what you just said?"

Yang Buxu asked again. Unexpectedly, he got a blank stare from the other party.

"I believed you just now!"

Ward just replied softly. Everyone knew what he meant. Yang Buxu felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, so he immediately responded with a firm nod.

Three moments later, a total of 1,223 people, including the left-behind government troops, stood on the cliffside school grounds.

On top of the Qiu Stone, Yang Buxu looked around and looked down at everyone with a solemn expression.

"Everyone, our goal this time is to seize control of the port ahead. Preliminary estimates are that the number of people stationed there is about a thousand.

You must have thought that I would send Er and others to swoop in and act as cannon fodder?"

Everyone below had expressions of understanding, and they almost shouted: "It's not like this."

"Kazhafei ordered a reward for killing one person in exchange for

Five thousand U.S. dollars, with the cut off of his left ear as proof.

Who are those people over there? They are civilians! They are two-legged sheep who have taken up arms! Five million US dollars are piled there waiting for me to get them. Do you think I will leave this opportunity to you? Go to hell.

…”

The more Yang Buxuan spoke, the more outrageous and arrogant he spoke. His tone sounded harsh even to a few of his own people. They didn’t know what he was planning. People who didn’t know better thought he was going to force him personally.

Shake those garrisons.

Just when everyone was helplessly enduring his crazy words, he suddenly shouted at everyone:

"Yao Bing listened to the order. You and the 72 grenadiers you selected will hide under the long embankment. They will unload all their equipment and only carry 10 grenades each. When the three gantry are captured, all of them will rush forward at once.

in front of the container array, and then threw all the grenades towards the opponent's mortar positions."

"yes!"

Yao Bing stepped forward and shouted the order!

"Zhang Xiaofan listens to the order, you lead the remaining members of the Pleasant Goat Mercenary Group to carry weapons and ammunition for follow-up support. After seizing the opponent's mortar position, quickly cooperate to launch a defense and implement artillery fire coverage!"

"Got the order!"

Zhang Xiaofan also took a step forward. This funny scene was more like a comedy show. The audience was the thousand mercenaries behind, but they just wanted to hold back their laughter due to the rules of the battlefield.

Yang Buxian didn't know what everyone's expression was like. It could be said that this was the result he wanted now.

He directly picked up a mortar from the position next to him with one hand, grabbed the ammunition box with his right hand and turned away. Ward quickly followed behind without waiting for orders.

"Did you all hear that? Everyone who paid the money should bring their equipment and follow me. I will take you to make a fortune first!"

Yao Bing roared, and people from different positions in the crowd immediately responded, no more than seventy-two people. It looked like there were really many fools following the lunatic, and everyone else followed behind to watch the farce. No matter what

From what angle, these dozens of people dared to attack the defense line deployed by the opposition at the port in front. If the opponent was really so vulnerable, then why had the government forces been unable to attack it for so long?

Looking back to the causeway, the distance from here to the three gantry cranes is about 1,600 meters, which is much closer than the limit of 2,500 meters required by Ward.

"Ward, how long does it take you from setting up the cannon to firing it."

Yang Buxu turned around and asked sternly. The key to creating such a big situation was Ward's cannon. He had put all his treasures on him. If there was any lie in this kid's words, then this scene would be a disaster.

But it will be difficult to clean up.

Just talking without practicing the tricks, no matter how eloquent you talk, is not as convincing as doing it directly.

I saw Ward directly raising his hand to remove the 82mm mortar from Yang Buxu's shoulder. He did not use a shovel to arrange a fixed gun position. Instead, he directly spread out the bracket and supported it with his feet. The sight in his hand was facing forward.

Looking at the gantry, there is no need to do any calculations, just twist the bolts at the angle a few times.

This operation took less than 10 seconds. To the government troops who stayed behind, all the tactical actions were neither standard nor standardized, and could even be said to be amateurish.

"What are you doing standing still? Pass me a cannonball!"

After being yelled at, Yang Buxu finally came to his senses. He saw Ward impatiently snatching the shell from his hand, directly loading the propellant and then loading it into the barrel.

Bang...
Chapter completed!
