Chapter 443 - 208: Effectiveness Assessment_2
"11 o’clock direction, confirm kill!"
"Move! Move forward!"
"Bang——!"
Just as the team rapidly advanced about 50 meters forward, another gunshot rang out, hitting a tree trunk within the advancing team.
"Sniper! Down!" Gu Ji panted heavily, diving down and quickly crawling behind the nearest bush.
Lutz also hid nearby and immediately shouted, "Attention Group B, if I lose contact, act according to Mr. Yasen’s instructions, converge with Group A immediately!"
"Yes!"
Lutz was essentially giving his last will, which was actually very normal.
Generally speaking, in a combat engagement, once the sniper’s gunfire sounds, the first to fall is the commanding captain, so we can’t just rely on the commander’s thoughts. We must ensure the team has a second contingency tactical plan.
"I need the sniper’s exact position! Remember! The exact position!" Gu Ji removed the magazine while lying flat, preparing to share information, "Check ammunition, I have two magazines left and one grenade."
"I still have one!"
"Grenades from the firepower group."
"Six rounds!"
"Damn! I can’t clearly see the drug cartel’s sniper position at all, he might be wearing camouflage gear." A police officer from Group B observed through the aiming scope.
"We need to create an exposure window, let our sniper team hold him off, switch Group A to the main attack, use smoke grenades to create a distraction, and force the cartel sniper to shoot multiple times!"
Thanks to the tactical brilliance playing out, Gu Ji’s brain was firing on all cylinders with tactical thinking at this moment.
This plan was originally a city’s counter-sniping routine, necessary during large events or speeches by important VIPs. Special police security must prepare a counter-sniping plan, from the viewpoint of the enemy sniper, determining which target he would attack and from which direction.
The domestic approach is to clear and guard all possible positions aiming at VIPs in advance until the event is over.
While abroad, due to different national conditions and systems, the approach is often to actively observe, enticing enemy snipers to fire.
Gu Ji is now adopting the latter approach.
Don’t assume because it’s city counter-terrorism and this is wilderness combat that the two are not compatible. In fact, even military wilderness standard tactics are not foolproof nor suitable for all environments and enemy targets.
The true core point is the guiding idea.
And on this basis, freely expand and modify.
"Captain! Captain! Request Group A as the main attack, sniping group to hold off!" Lutz pressed the intercom button, preparing to counterattack according to Gu Ji’s tactics.
Unexpectedly, Miliburn hadn’t even reacted when Group B, unbeknownst, had advanced so much: "How did you get over there? Group A, full frontal assault!"
"Sniping group is preparing!"
As soon as the words fell, the pace of battle instantly accelerated.
Group A launched a fierce offensive under the cover of smoke grenades, and the drug cartel seemed to have sensed something was wrong, starting to retaliate with RPGs. Another armored police car was shot down but still couldn’t stop the offensive progression.
The distance between both sides visibly narrowed by the naked eye.
From 180 meters, it decreased to 150 meters, and then to 120 meters.
"Bang!"
"Bang——!"
As the gunfire sounded, the enemy sniper couldn’t help but shoot back, while our sniper team also fired to suppress. Amidst the exchanges, Gu Ji took a deep breath, utilizing the "Private’s Telescope" vision ability acquired from completing two missions, searching for the gunfire’s direction.
"No, need to move farther right, a bit farther out..."
Within view, besides the armed personnel and vehicles of the drug cartel, there were trees and bushes.
Through his precise and continuous adjustments, he finally saw a muzzle wrapped in green tattered cloth sticking out from a mound within the bushes, and in the bushes, a sniper in camouflage tiger pattern was hiding.
Looks like that officer guessed right.
"Enemy sniper position located! Target south-southeast about 65 degrees, 300 meters distance, that mound in the bushes, request firepower group strike!"
"Sniper group is aiming!"
"Firepower group is ready!"
In an instant, the Barrett gunfire and grenade shot almost simultaneously, the shadow fell, "boom," Gu Ji watched as blood-stained shreds of flesh splattered from behind the bushes.
"Target eliminated! Charge!" Gu Ji’s eyes were sharp like an eagle, his words carried a severe momentum.
B Group officers seemed to be influenced by him, instinctively following his command orders, each one shouting hoarsely, rifles in hand advancing towards the drug cartel.
The sniper had been taken out, and the machine gunner on the right side was removed during the last assault.
Faced with the police, the drug cartel no longer had any ability to fight back, only able to keep fleeing southeast.
The driver of the bus still thought about driving the vehicle away but was shot dead on the driver’s seat through the side windshield by Gu Ji’s two-shot burst.
"Attention to HVT! There is still a cartel member inside the vehicle!"
Gu Ji led the team towards the purple bus, flashes of the police drone footage quickly went through his mind; if he remembered correctly, there was still a cartel member on the passenger side.
"Group A, provide cover! Watch out for the cartel’s heavy firepower!"
"Mr. Yasen?"
Miliburn had just rushed over with his team, hearing Gu Ji’s shout through the tactical headset, and before he could ask in detail, the fleeing cartel members on the slope began a fierce counterattack.
"Move, move! Watch the vehicle! Be careful of grenades!"
Gu Ji ignored Miliburn, continuing to lead the officers towards the bus doors.
Now that they had driven the cartel away, with a high-value target, strong firepower advantage, low-threat scenario, almost nothing could go wrong!
