I’m really here to keep the peace

Although it is just a helicopter, the pilot and shooter are very powerful, so this wave of fire support, the French mercenaries still suffered heavy losses, at least thirty people lost combat effectiveness, including the dead and seriously wounded, and the number of light wounded was also quite large, the first squadron of mercenaries responsible for leading the attack can be said to have lost the ability to attack.

As for the three armored trucks, it was no better, the first truck was hit by rockets many times, and the members of the car were killed together, the vehicle is now burning, the second car was blown off two wheels, although it can still be rescued, but at present the mercenaries do not dare to go up to change the tires, can only be discarded on it, the third car was hit by a rocket in the compartment, causing two deaths and one injury, but the car can still start, so the driver risked death and reversed, so that the truck retreated back from the slope. As for the

shadow company PMCs on the position, the losses were not small, mainly mortar killings, fragmentation caused nearly thirteen wounded, and seven unlucky eggs hit by stray bullets, although not yet dying, but a considerable number of people lost their combat effectiveness and were carried back to the medical station in the valley by friendly forces for emergency treatment.

Heights One fell into a deathly silence, both the French and the Shadow Company silently licking their wounds, accumulating strength and preparing for the next conflict.

It’s just that when the gunfire on the No. 1 Heights paused, the No. 2 Heights on the south side of the valley was still engaged in a fierce firefight, and the Belgian mercenaries on the southern highlands were scattered at this moment on the almost 600-meter-wide battle line below the heights and the PMC on the position for long-distance shooting, the two sides were as if turn-based, you fired a few shots, I fired a few shots, because I couldn’t see many targets, so the shadow company PMC on the position simply did not show its head at the back, and directly raised the rifle above his head with both hands, using the Black Uncle shooting method.

Because there was no heavy fire support like the French, the Belgian mercenaries could not launch a large-scale assault, and could only rub up the slope a little, and Ek was also a veteran in the army, he knew that this kind of terrain attack was to send heads, so he used one of the dumbest and most effective methods.

Civil engineering!

From the first time humans used trenches to fight, until 2023, civil engineering work can be regarded as an evergreen tree in the war conflict, and the Belgian mercenaries under the hillside immediately pulled out sapper shovels and bayonets and began to dig a recumbent shooting bunker for themselves.

Ek’s idea is simple, civil engineering operations can provide cover for his subordinates on the one hand, but also continue to extend the battle line, allowing them to approach the defenders, if the scale is larger and the digging is a little deeper, concentrated blasting is not impossible. The

butter squad stationed on the second heights in the south naturally saw the flying dust, but they had nothing available at all except for the M79 grenade launcher, and as for attacking with the M72 bazooka, this is not impossible, but the armor-breaking warhead is taken to smash the infantry, unless it is an emergency, generally no one does it.

The commander of the butter squad is even considering whether to come to a wave of exciting bayonet charges to knock the enemy back, but think about it, the Belgian mercenaries below are not less numerous than them, and the weapons are not much worse, everyone shoots at a long distance is okay, once they enter the short encounter, it will inevitably be the side with fewer people to suffer.

Then, while the Belgian mercenaries were digging hard, the roar of engines suddenly came from above the hillside, and Ek looked up to see an open-top jeep climbing up the road from the back of the hill to the river valley.

It was not strange to see the Jeep, but there was a long cannon barrel in the back seat of this Jeep, and Ek, who saw what it was, immediately turned green.

“Where did these guys get the recoilless guns?” If Hannibal was there, he would

definitely answer him, of course, he bought it, but unfortunately Hannibal was not there, and Ek could only urgently call his beloved friend François to send mortars or something else to support, otherwise they would have to abandon their existing positions and withdraw to the forest.

But it was obviously the Shadow Company’s jeep that was a little faster, and the jeep sped all the way down the undulating hillside, directly to the reverse slope position behind the position, and then the operator of the car immediately began to operate the gun.

The M40 recoilless gun is also a weapon that carries a beam, before the popularity of anti-tank missiles, it has been the anti-tank firepower of the US military battalion level, and the Marine Corps has ingeniously completed a small combat vehicle loaded with six recoilless guns as fire support, in street battles, six gun salvos are not a headache for the Vietnamese army.

But this thing also has the common problem of recoilless guns, that is, it is noisy, bulky or something, but installed on a jeep, volume and weight or something, then it is not a problem, as for the noise, it can only be overcome by the shooter wearing earplugs first. The

loader first unloaded the shells loaded on the car one by one, and then picked up a 106mm grenade that was almost the length of an adult’s thigh and stuffed it into the chamber, and after loading, he immediately retreated to the left side of the recoilless gun, because when firing, the rear area of the recoilless gun is also very dangerous, the tail flame can be spewed far away, and the slightest mistake may lie on the board. After confirming that the loading was completed, the

shooter immediately adjusted the direction of the gun slightly and aimed at a mercenary who was still struggling to dance the shovel, the guy was behind a ridge, although he could not see the figure, but he could see the shovel he swung from time to time and the dust that flew over, given that this guy was so serious, the gunner decided to help him well.

“Launch!”

Before firing, the shooter shouted, signaling the people around him to block their ears in time, and then a loud bang almost shut down everyone’s brains.

A flame erupted from the rear of the gun, the gas wave directly blasted the turf out, and the shell was disembodied under the impetus of the gas, an eighteen-kilogram grenade directly and accurately smashed on the ridge, and then the violent explosion blew up half of the mound and lost the shadow, as for the unlucky egg behind also disappeared without a trace, only the crater left in place shows what happened here.

The gunner patted his ears, which were still buzzing, and then cracked his mouth and laughed.

Although this moment made him feel that his internal organs were hammered with heavy punches, this feeling was too enjoyable!

“Grenade, reload, come again!”

Unfinished, he immediately beckoned the loader on the side to continue.

“This thing is a lot harder than a bazooka!”
