Pursue further?
Gazing ahead at the helicopter nearby, blazing with fierce flames, the squid commander couldn't help but swallow hard.
A trace of fear unconsciously flashed across his face.
They still have no idea what happened even now.
Then their armed helicopter was shot down by someone!
These armed helicopters, although old and outdated, were meticulously retrieved from the warehouse after much effort.
Yet, despite that, they were once formidable weapons that dominated the battlefield!
These things, just one of them taken out, were enough to scare the ground forces or other ground-based armed forces into submission!
But now, these things, in a vague manner, have just turned into flames!
How can this not be terrifying?
And when combined with the completely lost base earlier and the other lost relief forces in front, the squid commander's fear intensified even more!
He doesn't know what lies ahead, nor does he know what kind of terrifying power the supporting forces and base have encountered. All he knows is that both the bases and the supporting forces have completely lost contact!
The darkness ahead seems like a bottomless abyss.
It completely consumes all the forces approaching!
Thinking about all of this, the squid commander felt even more terror in his heart.
But eventually, biting his teeth, the squid commander forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart.
In a strong and composed tone, he said, "Continue forward! We have over a thousand people, armored vehicles and tanks, and so many heavy and light machine guns and rocket launchers. Even if the main force of camels comes, they won't be able to swallow us in one breath!"
"And even more, we are in the heartland here, and the main force of camels is still outside fighting with our main force. They can't possibly get in!"
At the end, as if he had suddenly come to a realization, the tension and fear in the squid commander's heart gradually dispersed.
Upon hearing what their commander said, the other squid also snapped out of it.
Yes, they are in the heartland here!
If the camels really had a main force entering, such a large-scale force would definitely not have escaped the attention of their main forces surrounding them.
Now, they are facing only some small forces of camels.
With so many people and so many heavy weapons, are they afraid of a small-scale armed group?
Once they understood this, the group of squids also relaxed.
Within a short while, tanks and armored vehicles started moving again.
Moving forward with the main battle tank as the vanguard.
"Captain, they've moved again!"
Upon seeing the action of the squid-armed forces moving forward again, the bald-tailed wolf reported to them immediately.
"Sawed..."
The grey wolf nodded slightly.
During that time, he had led the forest wolves and others to move forward for a short distance.
Now, the distance between them and the squid-armed forces was less than one kilometer.
At such a short distance, even without the detection of drones, they could see it themselves.
"Everyone, act independently. Big Tail Wolf and Bald Tail Wolf, you two are responsible for the heavy-armed forces!"
"The forest, the wolves of the barren land, the wolves of the mountain range, you and me, free hunting!"
Taking a deep breath, the grey wolf issued the command directly.
Since the shock and awe caused by the downed attack helicopter haven't been enough to stop these squids, let's use something else to block their path!
For example, these squids' lives!
6 to 1000!!!
They are six people, they will surround a thousand people!
This would be a game of sheer power imbalance, a relentless slaughter!
Swoosh!!
Big Tail Wolf fired the first shot!
The 30mm sniper cannon round instantly pierced the darkness and reached the position of the first tank, a squid No. 2 main battle tank.
BOOM!!!
In the deafening collision,
The hundreds of millimeters of steel armor on the squid No. 2 main battle tank, as thin as paper, was easily torn apart!
And then——BANG BANG BANG!!
A terrifying explosion resounded in the darkness!
Explosion in succession!
Big Tail Wolf's sniper cannon hit the tank's bullet, directly igniting it!
In an instant, the turret of the squid No. 2 main battle tank, like a can cover on a firecracker, was directly blown away!
After flying out for dozens of meters, it finally lost its momentum and, under the force of gravity, fell from high above to a spot dozens of meters away from the tank.
The sudden change caused the squids who had just suppressed their fear and gathered their courage to continue forward to be startled!
"Attack from the enemy! Hide!!!"
"Prepare for battle! Quick!!"
Without time to think more, almost instinctively, the squid commander directly issued the battle command.
The previous military helicopter, now the tank.
There is no doubt that they have been targeted!
They have been targeted by a force hidden in the darkness, unknown from where it comes!
Hearing the commander's order, the remaining squids also woke up abruptly and immediately began to take action.
They quickly searched for the nearest cover and hid behind it, covering their bodies.
The main battle tanks and armored vehicles also came to life, their main guns and heavy machine guns rotating under the control of the drivers and operators, constantly searching for the enemy's location.
At this moment—
Swoosh!!
A completely invisible ghost-like shadow flashed past again from the darkness.
BOOM!!
Without any warning, the second main battle tank in line was instantly penetrated!
And just like the first main battle tank, this one was also hit by a bullet.
The deafening explosion echoed again in the darkness.
It was not Big Tail Wolf's intention to hit the tank's bullet.
It was because, in front of the electromagnetic sniper cannon, the armor of these tanks was too thin!
Even a single bullet from the sniper cannon could directly penetrate the armor of an entire tank!
And the ammunition warehouse of the squid No. 2 main battle tank was located inside the main body of the tank. In the situation where the tank was completely penetrated, avoiding the tank's bullets was even more difficult than hitting them!
The second tank, squid No. 2, flying apart once again, caused all the squids to involuntarily shudder.
However, before they could think too much about it—
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!!
Shots from sniper rifles and automatic rifles shot out of the darkness!
Bang!
The searchlights, constantly scanning the darkness to locate the silhouettes of Grey Wolf and his team, were instantly extinguished!
At the same time, all other sources of illumination were hit one after another.
Within just a minute, all the lights that could be used for large-scale and long-distance illumination among the entire squid army had been completely extinguished.
"Sniper! It's a sniper! Everyone, hide!!!"
Looking at the continuous extinguishing of the lights, the squid commander felt a surge of fear!
Scrambling and crawling, he hid behind the armored vehicle.
Sniper!
The precision with which those lights were destroyed can only be achieved by a sniper!
Moreover, it must be a sniper with a silencer on their gun!
Otherwise, even with the constant explosion sounds from the surrounding area for cover, they couldn't possibly not hear the sound of the gunshots!
Sniper?
Hearing the commandant's hysterical scream, the other squid soldiers also woke up abruptly, and they quickly followed suit, hiding behind every available cover as tightly as they could.
The damage from a sniper is actually not as great as that of artillery or other high-power weapons, and the two cannot even be compared.
But the name "sniper" is a nightmare for all infantry units!
No soldier in any infantry unit would ever want to hear this name!
Especially from the enemy side!
"All personnel! Find the location of the sniper now! Hurry up!"
"Artillery, mountain guns, tank guns, rocket launchers, get ready! After determining the approximate location of the sniper, give me comprehensive firepower! We must destroy that damned sniper!"
After hiding his body, the squid commander reestablished his composure and roared out the order.
A sniper is not just a nightmare for infantry, but also for commanders!
It's well-known that snipers especially love targeting higher-value targets, such as machine gunners and commanders!
Especially the latter, it is the first priority for a sniper to hunt and kill!
By any means necessary, he had to find the sniper, otherwise he wouldn't dare to even dream of it!
Upon hearing the commander's order, the group of squid soldiers couldn't help but swallow hard.
Then, trying to suppress their fear of the sniper, they poked their heads out from behind the cover and peered forward.
At this moment—
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!!
Bullets tore through the darkness once again and reached the positions of the squid soldiers.
BOOM!
The ear-piercing explosion roared again.
The third squid main battle tank exploded again!
At the same time, several squids who dared to stick their heads out had their heads knocked off instantly!
The red and white objects, full of warm breath, were splattered all over the ground in an instant.
The sniper team of the Fangye First Detachment only had two members: a main shooter and an assistant shooter.
But with the almost abnormal "headhunting" ability of the powered armor, coupled with the electromagnetic assault rifle that is not inferior to, and even superior to high-precision sniper rifles.
Every member of the Wolf Tooth Unit is almost a sniper!
Hitting a melon-sized target at one kilometer away is almost effortless!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!
Pfffffffttttt!!
Pfffffffttttt!!
Explosive sounds resounded in the darkness, one after another!
The sound of a watermelon bursting also continuously appeared in the darkness.
Every explosion signifies the loss of a main battle tank or armored vehicle, and every sound of a watermelon bursting signifies the death of a squid soldier!
At this moment, the Wolf Tooth Squad has completely transformed into hunters in the darkness!
"Damn! Isn't the trace of those snipers found yet?"
It didn't take long before another soldier's "watermelon" burst in front of him, and the squid commander couldn't help but let out a frantic roar.
"Sir, these snipers are too terrifying. We can only roughly determine that their location is around twelve o'clock directly in front of us, but we can't determine the distance at all!"
A squid soldier spoke in terror.
"Twelve o'clock?" Hearing the squid soldier, the squid commander bit his teeth and roared directly:
"All artillery units! Firepower at twelve o'clock, 300 meters to 1,000 meters. Unlimited fire coverage! Destroy those damned snipers!"
Hearing the commander's hysterical voice.
The surrounding artillery units also forced themselves to calm down and began to calibrate their mortars and mountain guns.
Soldiers holding rocket launchers or single-person anti-tank missiles also picked up the rocket launchers or single-person anti-tank missiles next to them.
Even the heavy machine gunners were mounting their heavy machine guns!
And what about the tanks?
There are no more tanks left.
In the past few moments, all eight of the squid No. 2 main battle tanks had been completely destroyed……
Pffffffft!!
Pffffffttt!!
One after another, watermelons burst in the darkness.
Fear spread in the darkness.
However, the rapidly spreading fear also forced the squids to steady themselves and operate their weapons instinctively.
They were well aware that they had to deal with the sniper lurking in the darkness.
Otherwise, any one of them might end up like the shattered watermelons!
"Report! Mortars are ready!"
It seemed like an eternity, but at last, a sound as sweet as heaven began to ring in the ears of the squid commander.
Hearing this sound, the squid commander was overjoyed and without hesitation, he commanded, "Fire! Open fire immediately!!"
Upon hearing this, the artillerymen dared not hesitate for a moment. They quickly took a shell from the nearby ammunition box and loaded it into the mortar.
Thump!
With a faint sound, a mortar shell fired out of the muzzle.
Shortly thereafter——BOOM!
In the distant darkness, a flash of light erupted instantly!
An amazing sound exploded in the darkness!
"Keep going! Fire! Open fire! Open fire!!"
Seeing the shells explode and the flashes of light in the darkness, a part of the squid commander's fear was driven away.
Then, the squid commander once again opened his mouth and ordered.
He didn't know if the shell had hit the enemy, and he was well aware that such an indiscriminate bombing with an uncertain target location had a minuscule hit rate.
But every explosion could make the enemy cautious and affect their condition!
If a shell could miraculously explode right next to the enemy, that would be even better!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Following the squid commander's order, shell after shell from mortars and mountain guns was continuously fired from the cannons.
At the same time, there were also RPG rockets!
Although RPG rockets cannot curve, they can hardly be used in a city with many buildings.
But what if?
What if the enemy is hiding in some building nearby?
As long as their rockets can hit even once, and even if they don't hit the target, as long as they explode near the enemy once, their goal is achieved!
"Salman, lead the First Detachment and push forward to find those damned snipers!"
While the cover fire was in progress, the squid commander once again gave a command to another commander beside him.
