At a distance of over 500 meters, a sniper bullet can reach the target in just 0.7 seconds.
On the roof of the second armored vehicle, the American soldier only had time to be stunned for a moment by the explosion of the vehicle in front.
"Bang!"
In the firelight, his helmeted head exploded, spraying a burst of blood.
Its head tilted to one side, and it fell onto the roof of the car.
"Bang!"
Chen Li's second bullet emerged from the barrel and flew through the night.
In the blink of an eye, it hit the machine gunner of the third armored vehicle in the face.
Two clean and decisive shots!
At this point, the explosives that had been planted in advance along both sides of the road were detonated one by one.
The continuous flames illuminated the dark night sky.
At least 200 meters of this section of the highway in the canyon were buried by the explosion...
The powerful blast wave overturned infantry fighting vehicles on the road.
The Marines who hadn't even had a chance to get off the vehicle were either hit by shrapnel or burned by the flames...
Along the canyon highway, a cacophony of howling ghosts and wolves filled the air.
Those soldiers who were lucky enough to survive scrambled out of the overturned tanks.
......
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Whoosh~"
"Whoosh~"
......
Dozens of flares were fired from a hillside, exploding in the air above the blast zone and illuminating the first half of the convoy.
"Da da da... da da da..."
The heavy machine gun positions of the 35th Company finally opened fire.
A dense hail of bullets, like countless sharp scythes, pierced the enemy convoy with the help of the flares.
The bullets brutally pierced through the light armor, leaving unsightly holes in the vehicle body.
The Marines who were still hiding in the vehicles or lying in ambush beside them, ready to return fire, were stunned by the sudden barrage of machine gun fire.
Those who couldn't dodge in time were shot and fell to the ground.
Even more tragic were the soldiers whose limbs were torn apart by heavy machine gun bullets, their hands and feet severed, their wounds becoming bloody and mangled.
......
"Battalion Commander, the convoy has been attacked by the enemy! The enemy has a heavy machine gun position!!"
At the rear of the convoy, in a command vehicle, a communications soldier immediately relayed the intelligence he had gathered to the battalion commander of the 41st Battalion.
The battalion commander of the 41st Battalion was a middle-aged white man with black hair. He was startled by the explosions and gunfire ahead and opened the car door.
After hearing what the communications soldier said, he pulled his leg back from halfway out of the vehicle:
"Immediately confirm the coordinates of the enemy machine gun position, and order the weapons company to take it out with mortars! Hurry!!"
"yes!"
......
....................................
The hillside where the 35th Company was located was positioned directly to the left and in front of the 41st Battalion's convoy.
Looking down from the machine gun emplacement halfway up the mountain, there are virtually no blind spots along this section of the road in the middle of the canyon.
As soon as the machine guns fired, the dozen or so tanks in front were reduced to scrap metal.
Soldiers who were lucky enough to survive were pinned down by a hail of bullets on the roadside or next to vehicles, unable to lift their heads.
The first three light armored vehicles that led the way were destroyed as soon as the battle began.
Having lost three anti-aircraft machine guns, dealing with the heavy machine guns on the hillside was simply a pipe dream.
With no other option, the surviving soldiers had to obediently become cowards.
For them, national sentiment and the glory of soldiers are meaningless.
My own life is more important.
The outside world has always believed that the US Marine Corps is very powerful.
In fact, its so-called prowess is mostly due to its superior equipment.
When you're winning a battle, of course, there's nothing to say.
If they encounter setbacks, their forte is naturally to call in fire support from the rear.
......
....................................
The muffled thud of the heavy machine gun had been going on for more than a minute.
Ten heavy machine guns unleashed a hail of bullets at the enemy's vanguard convoy.
In a trench on the hillside, Chen Li put away his MSG90 sniper rifle and glanced at his wristwatch:
"Time's almost up... Xiao Li, have the machine gunners withdraw from the position immediately."
"The machine gun doesn't matter, as long as you live, go!"
Xiao Li, who was squatting to the side, quickly grabbed a signal gun and pulled the trigger repeatedly into the night sky.
Two red signal flares soared into the sky, turning the night sky crimson.
This is an order to the machine gunners to cease fire and evacuate the position as soon as possible.
At the same time, it also served as a signal to the 38th Company to prepare to launch the 107th rocket at any time.
"Give us a good beating and cover the machine gunners' retreat!"
As soon as Chen Li finished speaking, gunshots rang out from the hillsides on the northwest and southeast sides.
The forward positions of the 35th and 38th companies were spitting fire.
The remnants of the enemy vanguard, who were hiding on both sides of the road, were once again exposed to a hail of bullets.
They were positioned high above, facing attacks from both sides.
It is very difficult for the attacked party to find effective cover.
This operation directly claimed the lives of hundreds of Marines...
"They're here!"
Chen Li squinted and looked up at the smoke-filled night sky.
A sharp whistling sound of artillery shells came from afar.
A dark shadow swept across the night and landed on the hillside.
Soon, dozens of fireballs erupted from the machine gun position a hundred meters away.
Thick smoke billowed out.
The loud explosion caused the mountain to shake slightly.
The whistling sound didn't stop; instead, it became increasingly intense.
