Chapter 46: Enemy Commander Discovered
"Lu! The rope is secured! Slide down! I'll cover you!" Ruslan shouted.
Give me a little more time.
Lu Ye didn't grab the life-saving rope. He pressed himself tightly against the concrete retaining wall at the top of the water tower, his eyes fixed on the scope.
"Are you crazy?! The armored vehicle is about to fire!" Yuri shouted urgently.
"I've spotted a big fish!" Lu Ye spoke rapidly, yet with a calm demeanor.
Just as the drone warehouse was destroyed, a heat source on the third floor of the central control building unconsciously moved from the corner to the window.
Lu Ye had been paying attention to this heat source for a long time. Around this heat source, there were three other heat sources that hardly moved.
There is only one heat source, which moves back and forth.
Furthermore, the waving motion made by this heat source was completely in sync with the frequency of the orders given by the enemy commander in the headset!
Previously, the water tower and the control building were at a 60° angle, and although the heat source occasionally appeared near the window, there was no angle to shoot at it, and the heat source quickly retreated.
As the mortar positions and drone positions on the eastern defensive line were destroyed one after another, the heat source finally became enraged and moved more and more.
"I've located their commander! On the third floor of the control building! I have a chance to shoot him!" Lu Ye reported in a deep voice. "After I fire this shot, I'll prepare to evacuate!"
"Da da da da da!"
As soon as Lu Ye finished speaking, the new machine gunner on the armored vehicle pulled the trigger.
14.5mm heavy machine gun bullets rained down on the top of the water tower like a storm!
The bullets of this caliber were extremely powerful. The 1.2-meter-thick concrete retaining wall of the water tower was instantly shaved off, and rubble and steel rebar fragments flew continuously onto Lu Ye's ghillie suit and tactical helmet.
"Suppress him! Second rank, counterattack!"
Under the cover of the armored vehicles' fire, the remaining B Company infantrymen poked their heads out from behind the vehicles, blindly pouring their rifles into the direction of the water tower.
The entire western sky was instantly woven into a deadly web by a dense barrage of tracer bullets.
On the other side, at the main entrance of the drone warehouse.
The remaining rapid reaction platoon soldiers took advantage of the moment when the armored vehicles drew fire and immediately moved towards the main gate, just in time to run into Artyom and Eugene who were preparing to break out!
"Da da da!"
"Bang bang bang!"
The two sides exchanged fire at a distance of less than twenty meters.
Artyom and Eugene were pinned down behind the door frame by the crossfire of six or seven rifles, unable to advance an inch.
The other side clearly wants to drag them down here!
"Artyom, bow your head!"
At this critical moment, Yuri's voice suddenly came through the tactical headset!
Yuri and Roman cut directly into the flank of the fast counter-attack squad from the high ground on the east side!
"Thump!"
Yuri's AK-12, with its GP-25 grenade launcher mounted underneath, suddenly erupted in flames as a high-explosive grenade struck the center of the rapid reaction platoon's bunker with pinpoint accuracy.
"boom!"
The three enemy soldiers were blown away.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Roman lunged forward, his MP7 submachine gun firing at an extremely high rate of fire.
The silenced submachine gun demonstrated terrifying dominance in close-quarters combat (CQB). In just three seconds, Roman emptied a magazine, and the remaining four enemy soldiers were clearly beyond dead.
"Let's go! Let's meet up with Ruslan!" Yuri grabbed Artyom, and the four of them quickly retreated towards the southern defensive line.
At this moment, atop the water tower.
Lu Ye is under immense pressure that is unimaginable to most people.
"Lu! How confident are you?"
"The probability of that person being the commander is 80%, and the hit rate is 100%!"
With the system's support, Lu Ye was that confident.
Hearing Lu Ye's confident voice, Yuri paused noticeably for a moment, then quickly made a decision.
"Ruslan, cover Rikuno!"
"Understood!" Ruslan, who had long wanted to join the battle, shouted into the headset, suppressing his voice.
Ruslan, hidden in the south freight car, quickly picked up the imposing PKP "Pecheneg" general-purpose machine gun.
He suddenly peeked out from the shadows of the carriage.
At this moment, the new machine gunner of the BTR-80 armored vehicle was staring intently at the water tower on the west side, pouring fire from his 14.5mm heavy machine gun at the water tower.
All his attention was focused upwards, and he was completely unaware that his side had been completely exposed to Ruslan.
"Go to hell!"
Ruslan pulled the trigger hard.
"Da da da da da!"
The machine gun roared deafeningly.
7.62mm heavy machine gun bullets swept out like a metal storm.
At a distance of less than 100 meters, the machine gunner's bulletproof vest was practically useless.
The unsuspecting machine gunner in the armored vehicle was instantly torn apart by several bullets.
The immense kinetic energy hurled him off the armored vehicle, his body crashing heavily onto the other side.
"Enemy at our flank!"
"In the south carriage! Concealed!"
The Ukrainian infantrymen, who were hiding behind armored vehicles and peeking out to suppress the water tower, were horrified.
But Ruslan gave them no chance to catch their breath. His thick arm pressed down on the machine gun's bounce, and he slid the muzzle across the infantrymen who had just revealed themselves.
"Pfft pfft pfft!"
Blood splattered.
Three Ukrainian infantrymen who didn't have time to retreat behind the armored vehicle were instantly swept in half at the waist, falling screaming into pools of blood.
Ruslan's sudden flank attack with heavy firepower brought the firepower network that was suppressing the water towers to a standstill.
The enemy infantry suffered rapid casualties, and the few remaining soldiers could only cower on the side of the armored vehicle, not daring to show their faces again.
The pause in suppressing the water tower's firepower gave Lu Ye an extremely valuable breathing space.
"Well done, Ruslan," Lu Ye whispered in the channel.
Taking advantage of the opening, he immediately ejected the original magazine with one hand and slammed the special magazine filled with tungsten-core armor-piercing rounds into the sniper rifle's magazine well with a "click".
Pull the bolt back, and a bullet is chambered.
Lu Ye reattached the scope and locked his gaze on the third floor of the dispatch building.
He was waiting, waiting for that target to slip up again.
Meanwhile, Yuri and Roman, Artyom and Eugene, took turns providing cover at the edge of the gravel square and quickly evacuated to the south side of the carriage.
"Eugene! Fire the flare!" Yuri ordered into his headset while keeping his gun at the ready.
"Simultaneously call Vorov! Tell that fat guy to proceed as planned, with his two armored companies advancing immediately from the east!"
"clear!"
Eugene pulled a signal pistol from his tactical vest with one hand, pointing the muzzle upwards.
"Bang!"
A blinding red flare, trailing a long contrail, burst open over Kalinovka, turning half the night sky blood red.
After firing the signal flare, Eugene immediately switched to Vorov's communications channel on his tactical terminal.
"Calling Major Wolf! This is Black Scythe Squad! Proceed immediately as planned! Respond upon receipt!"
The only sound on the channel was a hissing electrical noise.
Eugene's expression changed, and he called out again, "Worov! Answer immediately!"
A few seconds later, Eugene turned around, gritting his teeth as he looked at Yuri: "Boss! Vorov isn't responding!"
