Chapter 4979: Blood and sand

After the artillery was hit, the militants of the Jihadist Alliance rushed down even more desperately. Seeing that they were already less than a hundred meters away from the opposite position, these turban-wrapped terrorists screamed and charged forward.
But with the sound of gunshots, the few militants rushing in the front were shot and killed by the snipers on Lin Rui's side. Lin Rui knew it was Eric when he heard the gunshots.
Then came the shooting of the assault rifle and the roar of the heavy machine gun.
The militants of these jihadist alliances were desperate enough. They used artillery shells to blast out the crater to avoid shooting, and then organized a counterattack on the spot. Grenades were thrown everywhere and exploded.
But what they didn't expect was that the heavy machine gun firepower point was set up again on the second position on the flank that they had been focusing on before. The mercenaries used firepower to suppress these terrorists condescendingly.
They originally thought that the firepower of the second position had been completely taken away, so they were unscrupulous when charging.
At this time, the blow from the flank was more deadly than ever. Because when they charged, the flanks were completely exposed under the firepower net of the second position.
The second position and the fourth position on the other side formed a diagonally crossing firepower network.
The biggest advantage of crossfire is that if the enemy initiates an attack with a skirmish line, the machine guns on both sides can cover the largest attack area with the smallest angle with the crossfire.
Soldiers in the process of charging seem to be easily killed by machine guns, but in fact they are not. Shooting at soldiers who are charging in front is actually not very effective.
Because the assault troops are often narrow in front and greater in depth.
A frontal shot, a group of people fell in front, and people behind rushed up again. Rushing to a closer position, the opponent's grenade and assault rifle fired, leaving the defender basically no advantage.
But flank shooting is different, because this crossfire greatly increases the concentration of targets.
When the fire team is shooting, everyone does not shoot at their frontal enemies, but from the side. Hit the right side on the left and the left side on the right, so that the firepower in the air actually forms a net instead of a strip.
For the soldiers who charged, it was a massacre, because they could be shot anywhere they advanced.
The cross firepower 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, crossfire defense is still the most effective means of dealing with infantry charges.
Faced with such a defense, the commander of the Jihad Alliance made a rather stupid response.
They temporarily adjusted the direction of the attack. With a part of the main force, stormed the junction of the second position and the first position. Regardless of one's own losses, he directly attacked the junction of No. 2 and No. 1 positions.
The jihadist alliance's charge at all costs eventually caused huge casualties on its side.
But behind the casualties, the joint position is also being torn apart bit by bit by these terrorists. In the end, nearly two to three hundred militants broke into the second position.
However, Lin Rui's mercenaries fought very well, and Lin Rui adjusted his tactics in the face of this situation. He ordered the artillery to intercept and fire five to six hundred meters from the front of the position.
Cut off enemy reinforcements. Then Lin Rui ordered the two infantry companies of the reserve team to bypass and blockade. Directly annihilate this part of the enemy army that came in and regain the position as soon as possible.
The assault missions of the two infantry companies are the mercenary units of Sausage and others. They walked around on the flanks and met the invading enemy almost face to face.
"Kill!" Sausage killed someone with him. A burst shot killed a leading terrorist.
Because they were attacking from the flank, the terrorists who had just rushed into the position had not yet reacted. The mercenaries on the side had already been killed, almost face to face.
The hasty counterattack appeared to be overwhelming but insufficient.
When these terrorists charge in large numbers, their combat effectiveness can still be seen. But in the case of small groups of operations and in the narrow terrain of the position, it seems to be passive.
After Sausage hit an enemy, it was too late to raise his gun, and crossed the assault rifle in his hand and hit a terrorist.
Following a side step, he pierced the terrorist's chest with his own.
After pulling out the dagger, he shot the terrorist on the ground who was still convulsing two more shots.
After receiving their support, the mercenaries on the position immediately launched a counterattack, and an armed pickup that was originally defending on the position turned over. The machine gunner behind was shooting frantically with a machine gun.
The firepower of vehicle-mounted machine guns is simply a nightmare for these terrorists. As soon as they rushed into this position, the flanks were attacked.
The rain of machine gun bullets from the front made it impossible for them to organize an effective counterattack.
The mercenaries on the second position cooperated with Sausage and others to eliminate the remaining terrorists in the trenches.
Then, relying on the trenches, it fired in the face of the enemy forces that were still charging.
Sausage led the mercenaries into the trenches, lowered his head, and quickly took out the grenade. "Grenade ready!" Sausage leaned against the inner wall of the trench and said loudly.
"One, two, three!" Following Sausage's order, a dozen grenade flew out, bursting into clouds of smoke.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the team's machine gunner brought up the light machine gun and immediately began to suppress and shoot the enemy.
Other fierce assault rifles fired at the same time. In a fierce gunfire, two mercenaries were killed by bullets on the opposite side.
But soon, the follow-up mercenaries made up this gap.
"Target, enemy firepower. Sniper team!" Lin Rui ordered.
"Understood." Yelena and Eric both responded.
The sniper team led by them is in a farther position with better vision.
Leaning on the trench, Sausage stretched out his muzzle and fired at the enemy's fire. Attract the attention of these terrorists. The machine gunner turned his gun and fired desperately at his position.
The sniper team has taken aim, the opposing machine gunner.
"Bang!" The blood spattered, and the machine gunner was shot and fell on the machine gun.
Yelena pulled the trigger blankly, withdrew from the cartridge case, and continued to finish aiming. Amidst the series of gunfire, her hands were still rock solid.
When another terrorist machine gunner rushed to take over, what awaited him was the fate of a headshot.
A bullet destroys an enemy, and the high efficiency of a sniper is fully demonstrated in such a battle.
Yelena and Eric didn't open fire easily. The target of their fire is usually the opposing machine gunner, or the opposing team commander.
But the effect is the greatest.
