Chapter 52 Repelling the Enemy Elite
Without pausing, Lu Ye threw himself onto the roof of the metal vehicle and crawled on his hands and feet at an extremely fast speed, turning his gun towards the western defense line.
Taking advantage of his high vantage point, Lu Ye, aided by a dual-mode sight combining thermal imaging and low-light technology, ignored the interference from some of the smoke on the ground.
In the crosshair, two enemy elites were crouching on the edge of a carriage on the west side, one of them holding a fragmentation grenade with the pin pulled out.
There's no need for complicated ballistic corrections; the passive skill of sniper specialization allows Lu Ye to rely on muscle memory instead of thinking.
"Pfft!" The soldier who was about to throw a grenade had a cloud of blood burst open on the side of his helmet.
The moment the body fell, the grenade that had been released from its grip rolled to the ground.
"Thud!" A second muffled gunshot rang out immediately afterward.
Another soldier who tried to pick up a grenade was shot in the neck, his neck shattered and blood gushed out.
"boom!"
The grenade exploded between the two bodies.
[Kill 2 enemy, reward 200 points!]
"Sniper! On the roof! At eleven o'clock!" The enemy's elite reacted with lightning speed.
The remaining nine men instantly turned their guns around, abandoning their suppression of Yuri, and unleashed a barrage of fire on Lu Ye on the roof of the vehicle.
"Jingle bells!"
Rifle bullets struck the roof of the metal vehicle beside Lu Ye.
Lu Ye suddenly rolled to the right, dodging a series of deadly shots, and then poked the gun barrel out from the edge of the car roof.
The moment the enemy's firepower was drawn to Lu Ye, Yuri below seized the fleeting opportunity.
"Now! Counterattack!"
Yuri and Eugene emerged simultaneously from behind cover and opened fire from both the chassis gaps and the side angles.
Sniper fire from above provides suppression, while rifles sweep from below.
A three-dimensional crossfire network instantly formed on the west side, pinning the elite squad to the spot!
-----------------
On the main battlefield, thick smoke billowed across the rubble plaza.
The wreckage of the first destroyed BTR-80 armored vehicle was still burning, but the Ukrainian army did not retreat because of the heavy casualties.
The second armored vehicle bypassed the burning wreckage from the side and rear, its 14.5mm heavy machine gun turret rotating to lock onto the connection between the third and fourth carriages where Ruslan was located.
"Da da da da da!"
The machine gun bullets rained down on the steel buffer.
Ruslan hid in the back, unable to even lift his head.
He was holding the PKP machine gun in his arms, panting heavily, surrounded by shattered wood chips and metal fragments.
"Boss! I've been bitten to death!" Ruslan yelled into the channel, his voice almost drowned out by the gunshots.
Just then, a dark figure suddenly darted out from a blind spot on the east side of the carriage.
It was Artyom who quickly came to reinforce after clearing the eastern defense line.
Instead of firing rashly, he used the wheels as cover to pull out an RGO defensive grenade and a smoke grenade with one hand, bit off the pin with his teeth, and threw them violently to the open space in front of the armored vehicle.
"Ruslan! Smoke cover! Prepare for a counterattack!"
"boom!"
The grenade exploded on the right side of the armored vehicle, the blast knocking over two advancing infantrymen. Immediately afterwards, thick white smoke rose rapidly, obscuring the vision of the armored vehicle's machine gunner.
The heavy machine gun fire paused briefly.
Ruslan seized the fleeting opportunity, suddenly peeking half his body out from the side of the cover, and the PKP general-purpose machine gun was directly shouldered.
"Die, you son of a bitch!"
Before he could pull the trigger, Eugene's warning suddenly came through his tactical headset:
"RPG! Frontal attack! Dodge!"
After receiving support from Lu Ye, Eugene monitored the enemy's attack using drones while fighting.
In the drone's view, an enemy infantryman, taking advantage of the cover from the heavy machine gun, had circled around to behind a concrete block thirty meters in front of him and then raised his RPG.
"laugh!"
The rocket, trailing a plume of flame, hurtled towards the fourth carriage where Ruslan was located.
"Take cover!" Artyom roared, lunging forward into the gap between the second and third carriages.
Ruslan's pupils contracted sharply. He abandoned firing, used his legs to push off, and rolled his massive body backward.
"Boom!"
The RPG rocket accurately hit the steel buffer of the carriage.
A deafening explosion echoed through the night sky, and a massive fireball instantly engulfed the entire connection point.
The hard steel plate was torn and twisted, and countless fragments shot out in all directions.
Artyom hid in a blind spot between two carriages and was unharmed except for the shockwave that made his blood boil.
But Ruslan's muffled groan rang out on the channel.
"Ruslan! Injury report!" Yuri shouted anxiously in the channel.
Artyom quickly got up from the ground and rushed backward by the firelight.
Four meters from the explosion site, beside a pile of rubble, Ruslan was kneeling on one knee, panting heavily.
"Boss, I'm fine... damn it!" Ruslan gritted his teeth, his voice trembling.
Although he managed to dodge and avoid being directly hit by the RPG, he was still affected by shrapnel from the explosion.
Artyom dragged Ruslan into the shadows of the second-row freight car and quickly checked Ruslan's entire body.
"Boss, Ruslan is injured! There's a seven-centimeter gash on the outside of his left thigh, but the artery wasn't damaged! The bulletproof plate is shattered, and there's a possibility of a fracture in his left ribs, as well as a risk of internal bleeding!"
Artyom quickly reported while tearing open his tactical first aid kit, taking out a gauze pad with hemostatic agents, and stuffing it deep into the wound on Ruslan's thigh.
Then press your palm firmly against the wound. After a moment, pull out the tactical bandage, wrap it around the wound several times, and then tighten it securely.
"Ouch--be gentle, you bastard!" Ruslan's forehead veins bulged with pain, but he still gripped the PKP machine gun in his hand.
"The wounded retreat to the second line of defense! Artyom, provide cover!" Yuri gave the order.
-----------------
The western battlefield.
After Lu Ye took control of the high ground, the battle situation reversed.
Despite the enemy's elite squad's high level of tactical skill, their advance was finally halted by the sniper fire from above and the crossfire from two assault rifles below.
"Bang!"
Lu Ye, on the roof of the vehicle, pulled the trigger again, and the muzzle flash of the SVCh sniper rifle flickered slightly.
An enemy elite soldier, attempting to flank from behind using the smoke, had barely peeked out when a bullet precisely pierced his forehead.
"Six left." Lu Ye reported the number in the channel.
[Kill 1 enemy, reward 100 points!]
Yuri and Eugene below are working together with perfect coordination.
"One o'clock, behind the abandoned iron barrel!" Eugene fired short bursts to suppress the enemy.
"Leave it to me!" Yuri fired an underbarrel grenade with pinpoint accuracy at the side of the metal barrel.
The explosion forced the elite soldier out from behind the cover, but before he could take cover, Lu Ye's bullets from above came one after another, killing him.
"Bang!"
"Five left."
[Kill 1 enemy, reward 100 points!]
Faced with this three-dimensional crossfire that was like a meat grinder, the enemy's elite force finally couldn't hold on any longer.
In less than three minutes of intense firefight, they had already lost six men.
Of the six people who died, four were killed by Lu Ye.
The remaining three elite soldiers threw smoke grenades and stun grenades, then dragged the two wounded soldiers away, taking turns firing, and retreated in a sorry state from the 100-meter buffer zone on the west side.
