My Wife is Actually a top-tier Soldier King?!-Chapter 1112 - 1047: Artillery Barrage Plows the Land! Deeply Encircled!_2
After the earlier skirmish, they clearly also realized that the people who parachuted from the sky, although each one had good marksmanship and high tactical literacy, had limited ammunition, insufficient firepower, and no heavy weapons at all!
So.
What is there to fear?
Hundreds of people stormed over from multiple directions.
Even with the most primitive, the dumbest human wave tactics, they intended to drown the mere twenty-some individuals.
Thus, the battle suddenly entered an intense phase.
All those who had just endured three rounds of shelling immediately crawled out from their cover, took up various weapons, and fired continuously.
From all sides, hundreds of militants charged relentlessly.
They ran in an S-shape while firing their guns, sometimes advancing with alternating cover.
Compared to their initial ’reckless charging’ style of attack, they had completely changed, as if they had become a different unit.
Could it be that at the beginning, they thought that because of the plane crash and parachute landing, there wouldn’t be many survivors? And that they wouldn’t have much fighting power? Is that why they were careless and did not pay too much attention?
But regardless of the reason, this caused a significant change in the militants.
For the time being, their sudden tactical evolution made the battle rather difficult.
At this moment.
What’s being tested isn’t just confidence and courage, but more importantly, ammunition!!
After all, aside from the four flight crew and the Mechanic, everyone else’s shooting skills and tactical literacy were not an issue.
Even if this group of militants suddenly gained strength and started a fierce onslaught, no one was scared out of their wits.
Aim! Shoot! Reload!
Ratatat...
Bang bang bang...
Continuous gunfire erupted from within the battered defensive position.
With each shot, militants fell.
The pilot and the Mechanic, already spread out to various positions, did not fire frequently.
Armed with submachine guns, they provided fire support whenever others were reloading.
The submachine gun’s fast rate of fire could quickly create a significant killing zone, suppressing enemies who got too close to the position.
Tang Xiao then became the strongest long-range striking force within the defense position.
Every shot from her sniper rifle found its mark without fail.
"R–P–G!!"
A shout suddenly erupted from the front.
Tang Xiao saw a flash of fire not far away and immediately jumped out of the position, rolling into a nearby crater.
Boom!!!
A loud explosion.
The blast of fire and dirt billowed up.
Not waiting for the dust to settle, Tang Xiao swiftly got up, and in the moment she swung her rifle toward the RPG shooter as if she was flinging it, she pulled the trigger.
For the 7.62mm caliber bullets known for their high initial velocity and powerful impact, a 400-meter sniping didn’t require consideration of wind, gravity, humidity, etc.—the trajectory was virtually a straight line.
Usually, precise adjustments come into play only when shooting distances exceed 600 meters, and for someone like Tang Xiao, who had undergone countless shooting training sessions, she didn’t even need a scope to lock on to aim; she could shoot purely by instinct.
Aim? Lock on?
On this goddamn battlefield, half a second’s delay means an additional risk.
Who has the time to use a scope, pinpoint the target, then fire?
Under the glow of fire, amidst the smoke...
Tang Xiao got up and flicked her rifle with a cold gaze, spotting the shooter and immediately firing without hesitation.
Then, without even checking if the target was neutralized, she immediately shifted direction and took out another armed individual who was firing his weapon.
With a bang of gunfire.
The shooter who had fired the rocket at the position was hit in the chest by a single shot.
The high-speed spinning bullet easily penetrated his chest, causing imbalance and stirring wildly inside.
Like a spinning cutter, it shredded his lungs and then burst out through a hole in his back.
Blood surged forth, with much of it flowing into the lungs, entering the throat via the trachea, inducing involuntary coughing and retching.
The person shot would not die on the spot, after all, the heart was still beating, and other organs were still functioning.
Only...
This massive wound kept bleeding, and without the lungs providing air, death from lack of oxygen and blood loss would follow in a matter of seconds.
Then, with another gunshot that followed, the gunman who was firing wildly was hit directly in the heart.
This fellow seemed rather fond of his life, even wearing a homemade bulletproof vest, which was essentially a steel plate on the chest.
As a result...
The powerful impact of the bullet, at the moment it hit the body, felt like being struck by a fierce punch.
And to be bulletproof, one must use high-grade steel plates or ceramic plates.
A mere few millimeters of ordinary steel plate could only offer a bit of psychological comfort and would still be pierced through.
When the bullet pierced the steel plate, due to the pressure and deformation, it would enter the body and move even more erratically.
This time, the resulting cavitation effect would be more horrific, the wound larger.
Therefore...
The crazed gunman, upon being hit, seemed to fall backward.
But he was instantly breathless, his heart shredded, bleeding profusely.
However...
No matter how good Tang Xiao and the others were at shooting, they were beginning to be overwhelmed.
Everyone had light weapons, lacking heavy weapons capable of fire suppression to mow down large groups.
These armed militants, each charging from all directions, were fearless and desperate.
They weren’t just armed with AK assault rifles; there were plenty of RPG rocket launchers and hand grenades.
Some even had grenade launchers mounted under their assault rifles, capable of firing from a distance suddenly.
This meant that no matter how skilled everyone was at shooting or equipped with night vision, they could hardly shoot with precision.
The defensive position had already been bombed out of shape in the previous three rounds of rocket artillery leveling.
Therefore, each person had to be quick-eyed and fast-handed, constantly shooting, moving, reloading, dodging...
What was more infuriating were the lingering explosive fragments of rockets on the ground.
Sometimes, just rolling quickly could result in being cut or pierced by shrapnel.
The shrapnel flying from the militants’ rockets and explosive grenades was even more chaotic.
A grueling battle! A fierce battle!
Hold on? No one knew when it would end.
But not holding on was definitely a one-way street to death!
Bullets flew, explosions were incessant.
Armed militants with superior manpower and firepower launched an even more ferocious wave-like assault.
The distance was getting closer, and the number of enemies remained high.
The militants who arrived early numbered only a few hundred, but as time passed, more arrived.
Deeply encircled!
Tang Xiao could no longer afford to snipe, as the sniper rifle was too slow.
She had long switched to an automatic rifle, firing bursts continuously.
As for whether the drone had detected any new information, there was no time to check.
Everyone’s ammo was being rapidly depleted, dwindling constantly.
Yet, looking around, the number of militants did not decrease but rather increased.
Finally!
When everyone’s ammunition was running low and they could barely hold on any longer.
An airplane with blinking navigational lights dove down from the sky.
ZzZzZz...
The multi-barreled Gatling gun spewed out dazzling tongues of flame.
A torrential rain of bullets, like Reaper’s broom sweeping wildly, frantically reaping...
