Chapter 42 Armor Cover
About 10 minutes later, Malik saw the iconic dome of Boda City Hall again through the driver's mirror.

A dozen of his best commandos followed cautiously behind the car, and they would fire rockets at the city hall after they got within 300 meters.

And more people hid in the blind spot of the city hall, preparing to charge under the cover of armored vehicles and RPG fire.

"Echo, we're in trouble." The sniper said with a rare urgency in his tone: "They drove an armored vehicle."

"boom--"

After the sniper armed with a KSVK sniper rifle reported, he tried to shoot a shot at the front of the armored vehicle.

The armor-piercing incendiary bomb made a hole in the outer welded steel plate, but was eventually blocked by the front armor of the car body and failed to get into the cab.

The driver who was driving only heard a loud "clang" coming from in front of him. After a few seconds of blank mind, he suddenly realized that he was still alive.

This made him calm down quickly, and the hand holding the steering wheel no longer trembled.

"They can't penetrate us, so continue to drive forward." The opponent's failed shot also boosted Malik's confidence, and the voice of the order was a little excited: "It's time to fire. The gunner next to Malik After receiving the order, he quickly put his forehead on the rubber pad of the eyepiece in front of him, and observed the defense of the city hall through the gunner's mirror with a fixed magnification of 4 times.

This Ranger armored vehicle is not equipped with a laser rangefinder, but has a separate combined image rangefinder on the left side of the gunner's mirror. The gunner who is halfway home will not use this device.

Fortunately, the distance between the vehicle and the target is not far, and the current ammunition is sufficient, and the follow-up shooting can be calibrated simply according to the landing point.

The gunner aimed the reticle in the gunner's scope at the roof of the city hall. Under 4x magnification, he could see a sniper hiding there. The bullet that hit the vehicle just now should have been fired by the other party.

"Let you taste this!" The gunner muttered to himself, while turning the fire mode knob of the machine gun to slow burst fire and pressing the firing button.

The sniper, who had just missed a shot, saw the armored vehicle stop and realized that the other party was preparing to fight back, so he also picked up the sniper rifle and got up quickly, preparing to retreat to the relatively safe building.

But as the muzzle of the armored vehicle spewed out flames, a series of 30mm shells had hit the outer wall and dome of the city hall.

When the Convention Organization designed the 30mm cannon, it sacrificed a certain degree of versatility in exchange for the muzzle kinetic energy of the 30*173mm shell exceeding 19 joules.

Therefore, even 30mm ordinary bullets are not as powerful as heavy machine guns, and more complex structures can be designed in the warhead of this level of shells, such as fuzes, charges, and prefabricated fragments.

As a result, several shells that happened to be too high hit the marble pillars supporting the hemispherical dome, and shrapnel and gravel immediately flew around, forming a killing area on the entire semi-open terrace.

"what--"

The sniper, who couldn't dodge in time, let out a scream, and instantly felt a burning sensation from the back of his right leg, followed by a piercing pain, which made him lose control of this leg.

Fortunately, most of the shells hit the facade of the building. Although it caused a lot of damage to the appearance of the city hall, it still gave the sniper a few seconds to use his still-moving left leg a little Rubbed to the stairs, then turned over and rolled down the stairs, and returned to the interior of the building.

A member of Layla's medical team acted as a field doctor, dragged the injured sniper to a relatively safe location and began to examine and treat the wound.

Another sniper using SVDS did not have anti-material capabilities, so he withdrew as soon as the armored vehicle appeared.

Although there haven't been too many losses yet, the appearance of a ranger has made Echo dare not continue to set up observation posts on the terrace, losing the best scouting vision.

"Everyone spread out, stay away from the windows!" Echo ordered loudly over the radio.

The power of each 30mm shell is close to that of a small grenade. If it enters the room along the window, the lethality will be very terrifying.

Maybe the enemy didn't turn his head around just now, or maybe he simply missed the shot, so most of the shells hit the wall in vain.

"Stop, stop!"

Inside the Ranger armored vehicle, the gunner bowed his head and shouted at the driver.

The cannon of this Ranger does not have a two-way stabilizer, so it is difficult to shoot accurately while moving. He can see from the tracer bullets mixed in the ammunition chain that the shell dispersion of the round just now is not ideal.

"No, no parking!"

Both the driver and the gunner are the assault team leaders under Malik, and there is no distinction between high and low positions, so the former resolutely refused the request to stop: "We need to keep maneuvering, but I can try to drive as steadily as possible. You can find a way .”

After the frontal armor of the armored vehicle held the bullets from the opponent's sniper just now, the driver entered a state close to an epiphany.

He briefly recalled the Syrian armored vehicles destroyed by his side in the past few years, and found that almost all of them were hit while stopping to support the infantry.

So he decided not to stop as much as possible, so that if the opponent fires rockets, he can still have some room for maneuver.

Gritting his teeth, the gunner switched to the high-speed burst firing mode and fired a long burst.

This time he aimed at the top row of windows in City Hall.

Almost half of the shells still hit the walls, leaving shallow craters, but a few hit some of the windows, easily penetrated the glass and exploded in the room.

A machine gunner was slow for a few seconds to pack the ammunition belt just now, and two 30mm shells exploded almost directly above his head.

After the smoke and dust cleared, the machine gunner's dilapidated body hung feebly on the window frame, and half of his body slumped outside the building. It seemed that he would definitely not survive.

"God bless me, I hit it!" Although the gunner couldn't see the situation in the room clearly, he had at least one definite result, proving that the armored vehicle was useful.

"Sit still, there is a yard in front of you, I will rush over directly."

The narrow and twisted streets of Boda became a big problem for the driver. After hesitating for a while, he decided not to try to recall the nearby terrain, but to use the most direct way to break through the fragile wooden wall in front of him. .

In addition to the fact that this huge armored vehicle is not easy to turn, the more important reason is that he does not want to expose the side of the vehicle that is relatively fragile and has a larger projected area.

The driver kicked the accelerator to the end, and with the roar of the diesel engine, the armored vehicle broke through the wall at the end of the road, opening a path for itself and the infantry behind it.

Of course, the sudden black smoke from the exhaust pipe also caused the infantrymen holding the bazooka to complain, coughing and crying, and three or four people even subconsciously slowed down because of this, and left the cover of the armored vehicle.

At this time, Echo had ordered his men to disperse to different floors of the city hall. The snipers and machine gunners did not give these people a chance to correct their mistakes, and killed them with a few neat shots.

But the threat of machine guns made them afraid to stay in the same window for too long. After a short shooting, they had to move to other rooms, or even change floors.

This undoubtedly reduced Echo's ability to counterattack.

As the armored vehicle gradually approached, the militants of the Black Flag forces hiding behind and holding RPG7 also began to eagerly try, poking their heads out from time to time for a tentative aim.

Finally, one of them couldn't hold back the itch and fired the first rocket at the city hall.

"Peng—"

The warhead of the PG7V is thrown away from the launch tube under the action of the first-stage propellant, and at the same time, the four tail fins at the tail of the projectile open backwards, quickly stabilizing the projectile that is undergoing irregular nutation in mid-air.

After a quarter of a second, the secondary engine located in the middle of the warhead ignites, ejects high-temperature gas and thick smoke backwards, accelerates the rocket to a maximum speed of 300m/s, and flies to a distant target.

"boom--"

After the explosion, a small hole about the thickness of two fingers appeared in the wall below a window.

The outer walls of the city hall can withstand machine gun fire, but they are completely powerless against armor-piercing warheads.

The scorching metal jet entered the room after breaking through the wall. Due to the loss of radial restraint, the jet itself dissipated quickly, but it still caused an overpressure effect, causing the doors and windows of this room to explode outward.

A soldier squatting at the door was thrown into the corridor. His luck was good, because the room was not closed, so his life was not in danger, but he still couldn't continue fighting in a short time.

After the first attempt, other bazooka shooters followed suit and took turns leaning out to shoot at the target building.

Although the accuracy of the RPG7 at this distance is poor, it can't stand up to too many cannons. Coupled with the occasional rounds of cannon fire, the outer wall on the side of the city hall quickly became riddled with holes.
This kind of blind shooting did not cause too many casualties to Echo's troops, but it suppressed their counterattack very well.

"Pay attention to the distance, Chipmunk, prepare to launch the bazooka!"

Echo glanced out while shifting position. At this time, the armored vehicle had already driven to a position about 300 meters away from the city hall.

Already ready to give the bazooka a try.

However, it was too risky to shoot from the front with the opponent's firepower. The man code-named Chipmunk was quick-witted and called his teammates to a side room.

"Hold my leg, quick!"

Chipmunk took off the RPG26 rocket launcher on his back, leaned half of his body out of the window with the help of his teammates, and finally got a safe shooting angle, but this awkward posture took him a few seconds longer than usual aim
