"?????"
Upon hearing the command from their local officer, the commanded squid commander was instantly startled.
Send him to lead the team up there?
They have no idea where the snipers are, how many there are, or how many enemies they face.
More importantly, all the wide-range lighting they had for illumination has been destroyed, and their heavy weapons are also blocked behind the wreckage of the tanks in front.
In other words, if they want to advance, they can only carry light weapons and single-person flashlights that cannot illuminate a large area.
The enemies on the opposite side can blow up tanks instantly and shoot every shot in the head.
To send them in lightly armed into this pitch-black environment to look for enemies?
No, are you okay?
At that moment, the commanded squid commander was on the verge of holding back the urge to question the soul of the officer in front.
"Sir, the situation with the enemy is unclear. I believe we should not act lightly. We should request support from the rear artillery or rocket artillery to conduct saturation bombing over the target area, eliminating any potential threats before we proceed!"
After struggling for quite some time, the squid commander finally opened his mouth and spoke to the officer in front of him, gritting his teeth.
"Request artillery support?"
Hearing his subordinate's voice, the squid commander who had just given the order was instantly furious: "You brute! Do we not have artillery bombardment now? With so many mortars and mountain guns supporting us, what are you afraid of? You coward!"
Hearing this, the squid commander who had been ordered showed embarrassment, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, we both know that we have no idea about the enemy's situation. The effectiveness of such blind bombardment is a complete unknown!"
"Moreover, we have a very limited number of mortars and mountain guns in our possession, which cannot provide complete fire support to the target area. At present, blindly advancing will only expose our soldiers to the enemy's gunfire and make our fine soldiers easy targets for the enemy!"
The squid commander spoke with righteousness!
He was indeed afraid, not wanting to expose himself to the enemy snipers. As a commander, if he were to be exposed, the enemy would undoubtedly prioritize him as their target!
But how could he say that?
Therefore, he simply brought up other soldiers as an excuse.
And he deliberately amplified his voice, so that the surrounding soldiers could hear it!
However, --
Slap!!
Accompanied by a crisp gunshot, the ordered squid commander's movements froze instantly!
In the dim light of the car, the ordered squid commander's eyes widened, revealing disbelief.
Above his brow, a red and white substance was slowly flowing out through the newly formed hole...
It wasn't long before --
Plonk!!
Followed by the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.
The ordered squid commander's body was completely out of control, and he fell to the ground directly!
"Salman deserted the battlefield and has been subject to battlefield discipline! Anyone else who deserts the battlefield will be dealt with strictly and severely!"
With a single shot, they executed Salaman, and the squid commander who had given the order looked coldly at the body on the ground that was gradually losing vitality, and spoke in a cold voice.
As soon as the words fell, the squid commander looked at the other squid soldiers and officers around him.
The squid soldiers and officers around him were all involuntarily swallowing saliva when caught by their own officers.
A trace of unhidden fear involuntarily rose in their minds.
He's dead!
Shortly before, Salaman, one of their commanding officers, had died in front of them in an instant!
How could this not strike fear into them?
"Elor, you lead the First Special Task Force immediately! Find those damn snipers and deal with them on the spot!"
Before the group of subordinates could recover, the squid commander's cold voice rang out again.
Hearing the voice of their superior officer, the ordered squid officer shuddered.
Subconsciously, they wanted to say something, but before the words could form, they saw the displeased look on their own superior officer's face and forcefully suppressed their voice.
With Salaman's example, he dare not say anything.
He had no doubt that if he dared to refuse again, he would be following in Salaman's footsteps, becoming another cold corpse on the ground!
"First Special Task Force, let's go!"
With no further hesitation, the squid officer issued the command immediately. Leading the remaining members of the First Special Task Force, they cautiously advanced into the darkness ahead.
Seeing the figures gradually disappear into the darkness, the squid commander's expression relaxed slightly.
After a long time, turning his gaze back from the distance, the squid commander spoke again:
"Attention artillery, extend fire in one minute! Cover the advancement of the First Special Task Force!"
(..........)
Bom Bom Bom!!
The deafening explosion sounded continuously in the dark night.
Streaks of crimson flame kept bursting amidst the explosion sounds!
In the pitch-black environment, these blazing fires from the explosions stood out even more!
"These squids seem to have run out of tricks..."
Feeling the continuous explosions, Forest Wolf and others' faces were all with cold smiles.
Snipers indeed fear artillery fire the most.
Ever since the advent of the sniper profession, in order to counter snipers, the method of artillery fire coverage has followed closely.
The method of using snipers to counter snipers depicted in movies is basically just movie effects or some idiotic directors' idiotic plots.
In a real battlefield, who would engage in a face-to-face confrontation with you, soldier against soldier, commander against commander?
1V1solo is in an arena, not a battlefield. The rules of an arena are about winning or losing, but the rules of a battlefield are about life and death!
Once the position of the sniper is exposed, no one needs to know your exact location. As long as they know a general direction, what awaits the sniper is indiscriminate fire coverage!
Under this coverage mode, all snipers basically take a shot and then quickly make their escape.
Rarely would anyone stay put to take a second shot.
And now, the squids are doing exactly that. They discovered a general direction, directly covering fire!
Unfortunately, these squids, no matter how hard they try to think of it, can't fathom that all members of Wolf Tooth are thousands of kilometers away!
This is an area only a few top-tier snipers can reach!
Even if they are top-tier snipers, in this pitch-dark environment, it is impossible for them to perform a sniper shot over a kilometer away!
After all, how can one take aim if they can't see?
Don't mention night vision devices, there is currently no night vision equipment on the Blue Planet capable of assisting sniping at a distance of over a kilometer!
But Wolf Tooth is different.
For Wolf Tooth, this distance of thousands of kilometers is not a problem at all.
Don't ask, it's just an overpowered item!
Understand lock-on and auto-aim!
"The squids might extend their artillery fire in a while..."
"Big Tail Wolf, Bald Tail Wolf, find their artillery position and destroy them!"
In the darkness, Grey Wolf's voice suddenly rang out.
The squids are not idiots. Realizing that artillery fire within a kilometer doesn't affect their sniping, they will undoubtedly extend their artillery fire when the time comes!
This is something that anyone with common sense can figure out.
"Understood!"
Hearing the team leader's order, Big Tail Wolf and Bald Tail Wolf immediately gave an affirmative reply.
Bald Tail Wolf operated the drone and quickly flew above the squids' heads.
It wasn't long before the situation of the squids hiding behind each fort was transmitted to Bald Tail Wolf's helmet.
Darkness is the greatest trouble for humans.
But for drones, there is no difference between day and night.
Even the "wild boar drone" used by Su Heng to drive away wild boars for his own uncle, which is equipped with an active phased array radar, is nothing compared to the single soldier drones carried by the Wolf Tooth team now...
"Captain, the position of the squid artillery position is behind several buildings, and we can't snipe from here..."
After careful reconnaissance, Bald Tail Wolf reported.
Hearing this, Grey Wolf's brow furrowed slightly before he said directly, "Give me the coordinates..."
"Yes!" Bald Tail Wolf responded immediately, and then shared the coordinate information and specific data collected by the drone into Grey Wolf's helmet.
This squid force is obviously elite, at least the elite of the squid village.
Being able to only manage to shoot at the armored units and the lights within such a short time, and then organize a counterattack with dozens of squids, this is certainly not something that new squid recruits could accomplish.
Even if their counterattack had little effect, it was only because of the huge information gap.
These squids have no idea about the mutations of power armor and electromagnetic weapons!
Moreover, the layout of the artillery position is also quite meticulous.
All of them are behind fortifications.
It's impossible to directly snipe them.
If a regular armed force came in, they might indeed encounter some trouble.
Just regret——
Whoosh!
In a flash, Grey Wolf's thought directly transmitted the command to the sky through the bio-intelligent helmet.
The next moment, two already prepared Falcon drones directly locked onto the coordinates shared!
Then, two supersonic heavy air-to-ground missiles directly detached from below the drones.
The bright red tail flares exploded instantly in the night sky!
The distance of several kilometers was nothing but a blink of an eye for supersonic air-to-ground missiles traveling at six Mach speeds!
"What is that?"
Looking at the sky, where a sudden appearance of bright red flame suddenly occurs, those who were staring intently ahead are subconsciously lifting their heads.
In the dark, the bright red flames stand out even more!
As long as one's eyes are not blind, it's almost impossible not to see it!
"This is..." The leading squid commander couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but then, as if he remembered something, the squid commander immediately turned pale and shouted loudly: "That's a missile! Hide! Hide! Quickly!"
Missile?
Hearing their commanding officer's sanity-shattering voice, the remaining squids all suddenly reacted.
However, before they could even make any response, the supersonic air-to-ground missiles from above exploded directly onto the squid artillery position.
Boom boom boom!
The deafening sound of the explosion echoed abruptly in the darkness.
Two small mushroom clouds lit up the surrounding sky completely!
The destructive power of the supersonic air-to-ground missile, filled with over a hundred kilograms of blue explosives, is nothing short of a disaster!
The area within several hundred meters was completely covered.
All the artillery and guns were completely covered by it.
The terrifying ability directly tore apart all the carbon-based life forms within the coverage area!
Each piece of artillery was easily torn apart and destroyed!
Even the outer layer was turned over by the terrifying impact wave, the gun tube and bracket were completely distorted and completely destroyed!
Even more terrifying is——
Boom boom boom!
After the first explosion, one after another, the sound of continuous explosions resounded once again!
That was——detonation of explosives!
Under the terrifying power of the missile, the ammunition at the squid artillery position directly triggered a secondary explosion!
Two bigger mushroom clouds bloomed again in the night sky!
This time, half of the squid force was covered by this earth-shattering explosion.
One after another, the figures of the squids were directly lifted off the ground by the terrifying shockwave of the explosion.
Some were even directly penetrated by the debris or shrapnel brought by the explosion!
"Aahhh!!!"
A chorus of terrifying screams followed the deafening explosion.
The astonishing noise sent shivers down the spines of all the squid armed personnel.
Even the leading squid commander had to tightly hold his head, shrinking it under his armor and behind the shelter.
He tried to reduce his body coverage as much as possible.
Feeling the tremors of the earth beneath him and the deafening explosions, the squid commander felt as if his soul was shaking!
"It's over!"
A thought involuntarily flashed through his mind.
Even without going out to take a look, he knew that they were finished!
Such a shocking explosion at the scene could only mean one thing - their artillery position!
And the enemy must have targeted their artillery position as well!
Although he doesn't know how the enemy discovered their artillery position,
But it didn't matter, what mattered was that their artillery was finished!
Under such a terrifying explosion, there was no way for the artillery to survive!
Without the artillery, they had essentially lost their ability to suppress those snipers.
Even if they had snipers of their own, in the dark night, they were no different from ordinary soldiers. To be honest, their only role was to act as a precise shooter.
To think of engaging in a sniper duel with the ghosts in the darkness was sheer fantasy!
If they couldn't suppress the enemy snipers, they would be left with only the one-sided hunt they experienced before.
……
After what felt like an eternity, the earth-shattering explosion finally ceased.
It was another half an hour later, and a squid officer finally regained his composure, speaking in a trembling voice:
"We... sir, we should retreat! These enemies are too terrifying. We're no match for them. Continuing on will only lead to our deaths as cannon fodder for the enemy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another voice followed immediately:
"Without a doubt, sir, they have snipers on the ground and missile drones in the sky. We've suffered heavy casualties even before seeing their faces. Nearly a hundred of us have been sniped so far, our armor has been almost completely destroyed, and the just explosion has killed over a hundred of us. We can't go on any further, we can't! Retreat, sir!"
The voice that followed was also trembling continuously!
Carrying completely unrestrained fear.
At this moment, he was afraid!
Not only he, all the squids were afraid!
They didn't know what kind of beings they were facing.
They only knew that the enemy was the ferocious wolves of the darkness, and in front of them, they were like lambs to be slaughtered, completely without the ability to fight back!
