Chapter 164: Tactical Sniper Squad Vs Old A Blocking Team!
“The battalion headquarters issued an order. Our Sixth Company is responsible for garrisoning the 034 highland. Each squad immediately find advantageous positions and build defensive fortifications.”
The Sixth Company Commander loudly shouted the order. The warriors who had charged up the hill immediately split up by squads to act.
When the Sixth Company Political Instructor ran up, the Sixth Company Commander grumbled unhappily, “I just don’t understand why we’re stopping here.
The Blue Army is so timid they don’t even dare to defend their position, but our Sixth Company is now at peak morale.
We should seize this golden opportunity to continue advancing, seize the Blue Army position, and strive to capture 50% of the Blue Army position in one go.
With this advantage in hand, we can fight more proactively later, leading the Blue Army by the nose.”
Everyone has their own combat style, their own judgment in battle, naturally forming different combat thoughts.
The Sixth Company Commander’s playing style is clearly more aggressive, more inclined toward pursuing the enemy after victory to expand gains.
“Old Wei, I think your idea is pretty good. Taking advantage of the Blue Army not reacting yet to continue the pursuit and score another victory shouldn’t be difficult, but this is the order from above. We have to obey it and absolutely cannot act recklessly.”
The Sixth Company Political Instructor spoke very artfully, neither opposing the Company Commander nor failing to remind him, preventing the Company Commander from acting impulsively and making mistakes.
As expected of a professional political officer!
“I don’t know how the regiment headquarters meeting went. After all that time, they came up with this result. This tactical play… it’s completely like an old turtle. Is the Blue Army that terrifying? Do we need to be so timid?”
The Sixth Company Commander was still very dissatisfied and grumbled. After speaking, he pointed to the back mountain and said, “If it were me in command, our Sixth Company would charge straight through in one go.
Pass through that small woods behind, and behind it is the Blue Army’s 078 highland. Taking that highland down, it wouldn’t be too late to set up defenses then.”
Just as Sixth Company Commander Wei Tianlei finished speaking, he was immediately slapped in the face on the spot.
“Pa~ pa~”
Two crisp gunshots.
Two Sixth Company warriors emitted white smoke, indicating they had been hit and were “killed in action”.
“Enemy attack, take concealment quickly.”
The Sixth Company warriors who had just slightly lowered their vigilance and taken out tools to dig trenches were startled by the gunshots and scrambled to find places to hide.
“Who is it? What are you doing? Sneak attacking is nothing impressive.”
“No one seen, doesn’t count. Must redo.”
The two warriors who were inexplicably eliminated stood there unconvinced, shouting loudly, but unfortunately no one came forward to respond.
Before the gunshots, Sixth Company Commander Wei Tianlei had been clamoring there to charge straight to the back in one go. Now he nervously hid behind a large tree.
His gaze peered through the leaves toward the direction of the gunshots, which was exactly the back mountain woods he thought was completely safe.
Recalling what he had just said, if he had really led the company to charge into the woods and fallen into the enemy’s ambush, there wouldn’t even be a place to hide.
The consequences…
Wei Tianlei couldn’t help but feel a chill down his back!
“Pa~”
Another gunshot rang out.
Still no sight of the opponent, another Sixth Company warrior emitted smoke.
Not even seeing the shadow of the Blue Army, their own side had already lost three warriors to the enemy in just a short 10 seconds.
The Sixth Company Commander’s face turned very ugly. He immediately shouted the order, “Sniper in the southeast direction, open fire, take them out.”
The Sixth Company warriors were already frightened. The enemy’s marksmanship was too precise.
Even hiding could get you hit; this was too exaggerated.
Therefore, hearing the Company Commander’s counterattack order, in their panic, regardless of whether they saw anyone, everyone opened fire toward the southeast direction.
“Pa pa pa pa…”
The gunfire from the 81 rifles rang out continuously.
While the Sixth Company warriors were collectively counterattacking, Sixth Company Commander Wei Tianlei made a second move, using the radio to request firepower support from the battalion headquarters.
The best method to eliminate snipers is always to use artillery for a dimensional strike.
No matter how good your camouflage is, no matter how accurate your marksmanship.
Under heavy artillery, all are equal.
One blast and they’re silenced!
“People not even seen, blindly firing like that is useless, it only exposes yourself, turning you into targets for the Blue Army snipers.”
Cheng Cai, as the sniper trained by Chen Jun, had eyesight and insight far surpassing ordinary soldiers.
He didn’t understand the Sixth Company’s reaction!
He had wanted to locate the Blue Army sniper positions, but because the Sixth Company’s gunfire sounded like firecrackers, he couldn’t discern through the gunshots anymore.
Moreover, professional snipers always change positions, moving to a new spot after each shot.
Finding them is inherently very difficult!
“Calling Shi Jin, this is Steel Factory. What’s the situation on your 034 highland? Wasn’t there no enemy? Why is it suddenly so intense?”
Gao Cheng knew there were no Blue Army on the position, yet suddenly hearing gunshots from the 034 highland, he could only puzzledly ask Shi Jin on the highland.
“Report Steel Factory, Blue Army interception team appeared in the woods behind the position, exact numbers unknown. Sixth Company already has three warriors killed in action, currently organizing a counterattack.” Shi Jin replied via radio.
“There really is a Blue Army interception team ambushing?”
Gao Cheng was very surprised by this news, his gaze staring straight at Chen Jun.
Because Chen Jun had guessed it right again!
“Company Commander, you should understand now why I arranged the sniper squad to follow the Sixth Company in advance. I was waiting for this wave of Blue Army sneak attack. It’s time for them to take action.” Chen Jun chuckled.
“You’re a true deity, Old Chen.”
Gao Cheng admired Chen Jun’s prophetic accuracy, then ordered via radio, “Calling Gun God, immediately assist Sixth Company in counterattacking the Blue Army snipers.”
“Gun God received.”
The sniper squad squad leader received the order, then crouched low and came before the Sixth Company Commander, saying, “Report Sixth Company Commander, we are Seventh Company’s tactical sniper squad. The Company Commander sent us to assist you in resolving the sneaking Blue Army.”
“Tactical sniper squad?”
The Sixth Company Commander was surprised that Seventh Company even had a sniper squad, with such luxurious and extravagant configuration. They knew their entire Sixth Company only had three snipers.
“Pa~”
While Wei Tianlei was surprised, the Blue Army fired again.
The Red Army’s counterattack had no effect; the whole company fired in vain, while every Blue Army shot took out a Sixth Company warrior.
Even the dumbest person could realize that the Blue Army sniper who came was no ordinary one.
Definitely an ace-level gunman!
In fact, the ones who came were indeed all aces. Though not all professional snipers, they were all special forces soldiers from A Detachment.
Marksmanship like gods, hitting targets from a hundred paces, is basic for special forces.
Sneak attacking within this one to two hundred meter distance, any old A picked out could easily achieve perfect accuracy.
The Sixth Company Commander was not a reckless fool. Knowing such divine marksmanship snipers would be hard for his company to deal with, stubbornly holding on would only mean losing face and suffering.
Even if they could eventually take out the Blue Army snipers, their own losses would be very severe.
Moreover, he had just requested support from the battalion headquarters, but the battalion reported the position to the regiment, and the feedback was that it was outside artillery range.
Clearly, the Blue Army’s chosen ambush point had been precisely calculated in advance by professionals.
The attack position was on the reverse slope of the 034 highland. Artillery shells needed a parabolic trajectory, and the Blue Army had pinpointed this angle blind spot.
Preventing Red Army artillery from providing support, avoiding their own snipers being dimensionally struck.
Thinking things through to such detail.
As expected of A Detachment!
With regiment heavy firepower unable to provide remote support, and Sixth Company unable to deal with the Blue Army snipers, the Sixth Company Commander had no choice left.
Now with powerful support from Seventh Company, Wei Tianlei quickly made a decision.
“You arrived just in time. Thank you very much for your assistance. The enemies are in the woods behind. I believe you can definitely take them out.
If you need any cooperation from us, feel free to tell me anytime. Our company will fully cooperate to ensure the Blue Army snipers are left behind.”
Especially emphasizing the last sentence, Sixth Company Commander Wei Tianlei’s tone was very heavy.
Not even seeing the enemy’s shadow, yet four of their own warriors had been sniped, making him lose so much face. It was hard for the Sixth Company Commander not to be angry.
“Don’t worry, leave it to us.”
The sniper squad squad leader confidently guaranteed, then beckoned to not far behind. From what was originally empty ground, nine warriors suddenly appeared.
The Sixth Company Commander was startled.
He truly hadn’t noticed so many people hiding behind. This group’s camouflage ability was too strong, truly refreshing his cognition in the truest sense.
“Target, Blue Army snipers in the woods. Each sniper team act freely, move out.”
The sniper squad’s squad leader, codename Gun God, noticed the astonishment in the Sixth Company Commander’s eyes. The corners of his mouth curved proudly as he immediately issued the order.
The four sniper teams moved swiftly, unfolding action like jungle leopards.
Watching the rapidly disappearing Seventh Company sniper squad and recalling the strange camouflage uniforms they wore, he couldn’t help but suddenly realize and sigh, “No wonder Seventh Company could annihilate the division reconnaissance battalion in confrontation.
Just from their tactical sniper squad, I saw something extraordinary. Compared to them, our Sixth Company truly has a big gap.”
As the saying goes:
An expert just stretches out a hand, and you know if there’s substance.
For the Sixth Company Commander to become the main force company’s company commander, his ability was inevitably not much inferior to Gao Cheng’s, and his eye for judging people and things was also very sharp.
With Steel Seventh Company’s sniper squad just making this appearance, it made him feel a strong contrast.
His own company’s snipers compared to them were completely not from the same world, as if there was a huge disparity between primitives and moderns.
Thinking of Steel Seventh Company’s strength being so great, and having heard some rumors.
702 Regiment needed to select one company for reform!
This mountain exercise was the prelude to military reform. Ultimately, each company’s performance in the exercise would directly tie to the reform list.
Moreover, it was said main force companies would be prioritized for reform.
To avoid his company being cut, the Sixth Company Commander’s heart inevitably became more urgent.
Urgently wanting to find an opportunity to strive for an excellent performance chance for his Sixth Company, to survive this reform.
“The sniper squad people came? Squad Leader, can I go up and play too.”
Cheng Cai saw the sniper squad’s four sniper teams approach the forward position from different directions, starting to search for Blue Army snipers in concealment. As Seventh Company’s strongest sniper, he couldn’t help but feel itchy.
He believed if he took the field, the opposing Blue Army definitely wouldn’t be his match.
Cheng Cai had absolute confidence!
“Have you forgotten what the deputy company commander said? We are scouts. Unless absolutely necessary, do not participate in direct action, to avoid unnecessary risks from exposure. Your current task is to be responsible for vigilance.”
Wu Liu Yi was right next to Cheng Cai and decisively rejected Cheng Cai’s application.
“I…”
Cheng Cai was still very unwilling. He urgently wanted to perform, intending to strive a bit more, but opened his mouth and gave up.
Because what Chen Jun said was like an imperial decree. Cheng Cai didn’t dare disobey even a bit.
Not just in personal strength, command talent, or military attainments, Chen Jun crushed the entire company in all aspects without blind spots.
Such overwhelming existence that made people look up in awe established Chen Jun’s absolute status in Seventh Company.
Every word he said would be taken seriously.
Not only Cheng Cai didn’t dare disobey, other warriors were the same.
Cheng Cai couldn’t participate in this battle and could only hide in the dark like Shi Jin’s group, collecting various Blue Army intelligence for feedback.
The four sniper squads of the combat sniper squad, as Steel Seventh Company’s first to engage in battle, the squad clashing head-on with the Blue Army.
They truly did not disappoint Chen Jun’s high expectations, soon having the first harvest.
“Pa~”
The 85-style precision shooting rifle sounded.
“Report squad leader, eleven o’clock direction, distance one hundred eighty meters, one Blue Army sniper killed.” A sniper squad warrior reported.
In just a few seconds.
In the woods nearly two hundred meters away, a puff of white smoke slowly rose, indicating a Blue Army soldier had indeed been eliminated.
Under the cover of nearly a hundred Sixth Company warriors, even old A special forces from the soldier king gathering ground had moments of stumbling.
At the same time, it proved that Steel Seventh Company’s sniper squad had been trained by Chen Jun to be extremely excellent.
Even if one-on-one they couldn’t match old A snipers, as long as they had a little opportunity, even as strong as old A could still be cut down.
Not good at single combat?
Our advantage lies in company battle!!
Seeing the elusive, godlike-shooting Blue Army taken out by Steel Seventh Company’s sniper.
Sixth Company’s morale soared instantly!
Each squad and platoon to lure out Blue Army snipers even stopped hiding, all exposing positions to open fire, using themselves as bait.
Attracting Blue Army to fire and expose positions, creating shooting opportunities for Seventh Company’s sniper squad.
“As expected of Great Merit Sixth Company, style is fierce.”
Wu Liu Yi felt the battlefield atmosphere and admired Sixth Company’s ferocious combat style from the bottom of his heart.
He believed even on a real battlefield, they could be like the martyrs who forged the words “Great Merit”, viewing death as return home, fearless and unafraid.
Under Sixth Company warriors’ sacrificial playing style, there was soon new harvest.
In merely less than three minutes.
At the cost of sacrificing five Sixth Company warriors, two more from the Blue Army interception team were taken out, completely silencing the Blue Army.
In the following several minutes, no matter how Sixth Company warriors lured, no one fired again.
The Sixth Company Commander judged the Blue Army had likely withdrawn. Thinking it took nine people to exchange for three of theirs, he felt bursts of anger.
To figure out the Blue Army’s specific situation, what origin and reputation they had.
The Sixth Company Commander decisively ordered!
“First Squad Leader, take your squad to probe over there, bring back the Blue Army corpses. I want to see if they are humans or ghosts.”
“Understood!”
“First Squad, follow me!!”
The First Squad Leader who received the order got up, called his First Squad warriors to follow him up, advancing rapidly from the front straight to the woods from which the Blue Army attacked.
Sixth Company’s other squads and Seventh Company’s sniper squad were on high alert.
If the Blue Army in the woods fired again, they would deliver thunderous strikes.
