Chapter 87 Offense and Defense Easier
Lu Ye lay prone in the gravel ditch, his body almost pressed against the ditch wall.
The buzzing overhead was still there: two observation planes and one bomber.
He didn't rush to make a move.
After that FPV drone self-destructed, the enemy drones became noticeably more cautious.
"Iron Eagle," Lu Ye said in a low voice, "can you still see the three planes above my head?"
The voice of Iron Eagle came through the headphones.
"I can see them. Two observation aircraft are to your southeast and west, and they should be using infrared sensors, conducting a cruise scan. The bombardier is directly above and slightly north of you, about seventy meters away."
Lu Ye slowly raised his left hand and used two fingers to pry open the bits of grass and crevices in the rocks on the ditch wall.
Under the cover of night, three dark figures hovered overhead.
Lu Ye slowly dragged the SVCh in front of him, and only continued his actions when the buzzing sound above his head was a little further away.
Thermal imaging on drones can capture changes in heat sources on gun barrels, arms, and faces.
Especially since he had just run, his body heat was very noticeable, and the fading of the buzzing sound indicated that the enemy observation aircraft's infrared scan had moved to another location.
Lu Ye braced the butt of the rifle against his shoulder, gripped the trigger handle with his right hand, and extended his left hand forward to support the front handguard, slowly pushing the muzzle out through a slanted crevice in the ditch wall.
Only a very short section of the gun muzzle was visible.
Instead of immediately putting his eye on the aiming scope, he first observed and confirmed the direction of the drone's movement.
The bomber is circling. Each time it passes directly above the trench line, its speed slows down.
Lu Ye quickly did some mental calculations.
SVCh uses subsonic bullets, which have a low velocity.
Shooting down small targets like drones, especially moving ones, is very difficult.
The last time he was able to shoot down drones in succession was because of the system rewards of [Firearms Mastery] and [Shooting Mastery], which maxed out his firearms control and shooting judgment.
Things are different now.
He only has [Precision Shooting LV3], which might be usable, but he definitely shouldn't shoot randomly.
Lu Ye's eyes were covered by the scope.
The crosshairs slowly followed the bomber.
The target is too small. Furthermore, drones don't fly at a constant speed; the rotors introduce many fine-tuning adjustments.
Lu Ye lowered his breathing and placed his index finger on the trigger.
Now! *Pfft*
SVCh made a muffled thud. The bullet flew out.
But at the very moment of firing, the bomber suddenly veered to the right.
The bullet grazed the underside of the aircraft.
I didn't win.
Lu Ye's eyes darkened.
But firing that shot had already given them away.
Sure enough, an observation aircraft overhead immediately lowered its altitude and flew towards the gravel ditch.
Iron Eagle's voice rang out urgently: "Land! The bomber is turning and heading straight for you!"
Lu Ye stared at the scope: "I see it."
The bomber began to descend, and its speed increased significantly.
It stopped circling horizontally and instead charged straight towards the gravel ditch.
This actually simplifies things. If it continues to circle, Lu Ye will have to calculate the lead time.
But now it's heading straight for him, its trajectory is stable, and the target area is getting larger.
Lu Ye pressed the butt of his rifle down, and the bomber drew closer and closer.
Fifty meters.
Forty meters.
He held his breath: "Pfft." The second shot.
The next second, the drone suddenly tilted in mid-air, its rotors went out of balance, and it spun and crashed onto the slope outside the ditch.
"Boom!" An explosion rang out from a dozen meters away.
Lu Ye pulled his body back, pressed his back against the ditch wall, and waited until all the debris from the explosion had fallen before poking his head out again.
Destroy one enemy bombing drone and receive 100 points!
Lu Ye did not relax, and raised the muzzle of his gun again, preparing to continue firing at the observation aircraft.
But the two observation aircraft had already begun to climb.
Lu Ye stared at one of the planes, followed it for two seconds, but the distance between them kept increasing and the angle became unfavorable.
"The bomber has been shot down." Lu Ye pressed the communication button. "The two observation aircraft are to withdraw."
The gray wolf immediately replied, "Understood."
No sooner had he finished speaking than another series of explosions came from the direction of the bunker.
A female officer's voice rang out, pleading for help: "Grey Wolf, we can't hold out much longer on the front. The enemy has retaken the Humvee firing positions."
Lu Ye frowned: "Where have they advanced to?"
Iron Eagle replied, "About eighty meters from the front of the bunker."
Lu Ye gritted his teeth.
He's still some distance from the bunker and won't be able to get back in time.
-----------------
Inside the bunker, Gray Wolf pondered for a moment before immediately ordering, "Iron Eagle, convert the drones into suicide drones."
"Our Mavic 3s were damaged in the previous breakout battle. Now all we have are reconnaissance drones."
"Then use it."
"After using it, we stopped conducting low-altitude reconnaissance ourselves."
Gray Wolf said, "There are Seahawk-10s up there. We don't need this little drone to scout the way from here. If we don't blow up the Humvee's firing point now, we'll all be dead once they get close to the bunker and throw grenades into the firing ports or the back door."
"I need three minutes."
Gray Wolf nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try my best."
Then, Gray Wolf ordered Detonator, "Go to the machine gun port and cover me. I'm going to use a smoke grenade!"
"Understood." Detonator quickly went to the machine gun port and set up the machine gun, even though he knew this position was the most dangerous.
The female officer immediately said, "All the guns outside are focused on the firing ports. It's dangerous for you to go out and throw smoke."
Grey Wolf: "If we don't throw a smoke bomb, how can we gain these three minutes?"
"Detonator, prepare for suppression."
Detonator: "Received."
3.2.1.
"beat!"
The PKM suddenly blared. "Rat-a-tat-tat-tat!"
The purpose of detonating is to apply short bursts of pressure, not to spray indiscriminately.
Each shot was timed to coincide with the moment when the enemy's firepower paused.
But the enemy reacted quickly as well.
Almost two seconds after the PKM opened fire, the Humvee machine guns retaliated.
The bullets struck the outer edge of the bunker's firing port, making a dense, rhythmic sound like the pounding of metal.
Suddenly, the detonator let out a muffled groan.
"Shot?"
Detonator gritted his teeth: "It grazed my left arm, but it won't affect anything."
"Keep the pressure down!"
Using the firing ports and the blind spots outside the bunker, the Grey Wolf threw out smoke grenades in stages.
The first bullet was fired directly in front of the firing port, the second was rolled to the left, and the third was thrown near the Humvee.
"Iron Eagle, how much longer?" Gray Wolf asked.
Iron Eagle: "One minute and forty seconds."
Iron Eagle then secured the hand grenade and small explosive devices to the underside of the drone.
Such temporary modifications are very risky; the weight must be controlled, the center of gravity must be balanced, and the fuse delay must be calculated carefully.
Otherwise, the flight will be unstable, or it may crash prematurely.
The detonator yelled, "Reload! Three seconds!"
After PKM pauses.
The enemy immediately pressed their firepower.
"Thump!" A grenade landed in front of the bunker.
The female officer quickly said to Hammer, "We'll provide cover! I'll go left, you go right!"
Gunshots rang out.
Instead of engaging in a direct confrontation, the two of them used short bursts of fire to disrupt the enemy's advance.
After reconnecting the detonator to the PKM, immediately push the muzzle back down.
"continue!"
Iron Eagle's voice rang out: "Thirty seconds left!"
Grey Wolf: "Everyone, get ready. Once the drone explodes, immediately press forward."
"clear."
"Drone take off." Iron Eagle launched the modified drone from behind the bunker.
Grey Wolf: "Low altitude, stick close to the smoke."
Tie Ying nodded and continued his report.
"Passing through the first plume of smoke."
"Two meters high."
"Firing position ahead is visible."
"There's someone at the left machine gun position."
"The Mk19 operator is also here."
Grey Wolf: "Mk19 preferred."
Iron Eagle: "Understood."
A few seconds later, Iron Eagle's speech suddenly sped up.
"The enemy has spotted the drone!"
"They're fighting!"
"Ten meters away."
Five meters.
The next second, an explosion was heard.
