After the artillery was hit, the militants of the Jihad Alliance pounced even more desperately. Seeing that they were less than a hundred meters away from the opposite position, these turbaned terrorists charged forward, shouting.
But with the sound of gunfire, the few militants who rushed at the front were shot dead on the spot by Lin Rui's snipers. Lin Rui knew it was Eric as soon as he heard the gunshot.
Immediately came the shooting of assault rifles and the roar of heavy machine guns.
¡°These militants from the Jihad Alliance were also desperate enough. They used artillery shells to blow up craters to avoid shooting, and then organized counterattacks on the spot. Grenades were thrown everywhere and explosions continued.
But what they didn¡¯t expect was that the heavy machine gun firepower point was set up again at the No. 2 flank position that they had been focusing on attacking before. The mercenaries used firepower to suppress these terrorists from above.
They originally thought that the firepower of the second position had been completely eliminated, so they charged unscrupulously.
At this time, the blow from the flank was more deadly than at any time. Because when they were charging, their flanks were completely exposed to the firepower network of the second position.
Position No. 2 and Position No. 4 on the other side formed a diagonally crossing fire network.
The biggest advantage of crossfire is that if the enemy attacks the position with a skirmisher line, then the machine guns are on both sides, and crossfire can cover the largest strike area at the smallest angle.
Soldiers in the process of charging seem to be easily shot by machine guns, but this is not the case. Shooting at soldiers charging head-on has little effect.
Because charge troops tend to have a narrow front and a relatively large depth.
Shooting from the front, a group of people in front fell down, and those behind rushed up again. Rushing to a closer position, the opponent's grenades and assault rifles fired, basically eliminating the defender's advantage.
But flanking shooting is different, because this kind of crossfire greatly increases the density of targets.
When the fire team shoots, everyone does not shoot the enemy in front of them, but from the side. The left side hits the right side, and the right side hits the left side. In this way, the firepower in the air actually forms a net instead of a strip.
For the charging soldiers, it was a massacre, because they could be shot anywhere along the way.
The crossfire formed by the two machine guns on the left and right flanks is an unbreakable copper wall.
It can be said that so far in the development of human warfare, cross-fire defense is still the most effective way to deal with infantry charges.
Faced with such a defense, the commander of the Jihad Alliance made another rather stupid response.
They temporarily adjusted the direction of attack. Use part of the main force to storm the joint connecting the No. 2 position and the No. 1 position. Regardless of our own losses, we directly attacked the junction of the second position and the first position.
The Jihadi Alliance's charge regardless of the cost ultimately caused huge casualties to its own side.
But behind these casualties, the position of this junction is also being torn apart bit by bit by these terrorists. In the end, nearly two to three hundred armed men broke into the second position.
But Lin Rui¡¯s mercenaries were very aggressive, and Lin Rui immediately adjusted his tactics when faced with this situation. He ordered the artillery to intercept and fire five to six hundred meters ahead of the battlefield.
Cut off enemy reinforcement lines. Then Lin Rui ordered the two infantry companies of the reserve to go around and blockade them. Directly annihilate the incoming enemy troops on the spot and regain the position as soon as possible.
The mercenary troops of Sausage and others were responsible for the assault mission of these two infantry companies. They bypassed the flanks and were almost face-to-face with the enemies invading the position.
"Kill!" Sausage led the man to kill him. A single shot killed one of the leading terrorists.
Because they were attacking from the flank, before the terrorists who had just rushed into the position could react, the mercenaries on the flank had already arrived, almost face to face.
The hasty counterattack seemed to be more than enough.
"These terrorists can still show their combat effectiveness when charging in large numbers. But when fighting in small groups and inside positions with narrow terrain, they appear to be passive everywhere.
After Sausage hit an enemy soldier, he had no time to raise his gun and knocked away a terrorist with the assault rifle in his hand.
He followed up with a side step and stabbed the terrorist in the chest with his own.
After pulling out the dagger, he fired two more shots at the twitching terrorist on the ground.
After receiving their support, the mercenaries on the position immediately launched a counterattack, and an armed pickup truck that was originally defending the position turned its head The machine gunner in the back fired wildly with his machine gun.
The firepower of vehicle-mounted machine guns is simply a nightmare for these terrorists. As soon as they rushed into this position, they were attacked on the flank.
And the rain of machine gun bullets coming from the front made it impossible for them to organize an effective counterattack.
The mercenaries on Position 2 cooperated with Sausage and others to eliminate the remaining terrorists in the trenches piece by piece.
Then, relying on the trenches, they strafed the enemy troops who were still charging.
Sausage led the mercenaries into the trench, lowered his head, and quickly took out the grenades on his body. "Get ready for grenades!" Sausage leaned against the inner wall of the trench and shouted.
"One, two, three!" Following Sausage's order, a dozen grenades flew out, bursting into clouds of smoke.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the machine gunner of the team brought up the light machine gun and immediately began to suppress the enemy's fire.
Other ferocious assault rifle firepower also opened fire at the same time. In a burst of fierce gunfire, two mercenaries were killed by bullets from the opposite side.
But soon, subsequent mercenaries filled the gap.
"Target, enemy firepower point. Sniper team!" Lin Rui ordered.
"Understood." Yelena and Eric both responded.
The sniper team they led was in a farther position with a better view.
Sausage leaned against the trench, stretched out the muzzle of his gun, and fired randomly at the enemy's firepower. Attract the attention of these terrorists. The machine gunner turned his gun and fired furiously at his position.
And the sniper team has already targeted the opponent's machine gunner.
"Bang!" Blood spattered, and the machine gunner was shot in the head and fell onto the machine gun.
Yelena pulled the trigger of the gun expressionlessly, ejected the cartridge case, and continued to complete the aim. Amidst a series of gunfire, her hands remained steady as a rock.
When another terrorist machine gunner rushed up to take over the position, what awaited him was another headshot.
One bullet destroys an enemy. The high efficiency of a sniper is fully demonstrated in such a battle.
Yelena and Eric do not open fire easily. The target of their fire is usually the opponent's machine gunner, or else the opponent's team commander.
But the effect is the greatest.
