On the other side of the battlefield, Caoyuan successfully found the two vehicles attempting to flank.
Relying on his tactical skill, he predicted the enemy's flanking route, switched to a large-caliber sniper rifle, and climbed onto a sand dune.
On the all-terrain vehicle, Xiewei was extremely excited.
As the leader's most trusted subordinate, the two vehicles he led were the key to the operation.
When the Celestials were overwhelmed by Dusha's frontal firepower, his team would exploit the opening from an unexpected angle, deliver the decisive blow, and complete the final cleanup.
What a perfect, what an impregnable tactic!
At that time, as the one playing the key role, he naturally had the right to choose the spoils of war first.
That Celestial hiding in the aircraft, shouting down at me, weren't you very arrogant?
You're the first one I'll kill, and then...
Bang!
Xiewei's delusion was frozen in the last moment of his life.
A large-caliber sniper bullet shattered his forehead from the side.
The bullet flew at three times the speed of sound; Dusha didn't even hear the gunshot before his head was blown apart like a watermelon.
Just 2 seconds later, there was a second exploding watermelon.
Caoyuan sniped the driver.
This vehicle immediately stopped, and the other vehicle accompanying it instantly panicked, making an emergency turn to evade the attack, while the co-driver stood up holding onto the roll cage, anxiously scanning the surroundings, trying to find the attacker.
With another gunshot, the engine of this vehicle was penetrated, emitting Black Smoke, and its speed dropped sharply.
"There's a sniper!"
At this point, the Raiders completely realized the opponent's formidable marksmanship, scrambling out of the vehicle and hiding behind its body, not daring to move recklessly again.
Taking advantage of the enemy's panic, Caoyuan decisively pushed forward.
After entering the effective range of 250 meters, he grabbed the grenade launcher, skillfully adjusted the firing angle, and fired six 35mm high-explosive rounds at the target.
The all-terrain vehicle with the damaged engine caught fire and burned in the explosion, and the three Raiders hiding behind it were also killed on the spot. As for the remaining vehicle, Caoyuan intended to capture it so he could drive it back to reinforce the camp quickly.
He switched his weapon to a "Striker" automatic rifle and aimed at the ankle of the last Raider through the narrow gap under the vehicle.
Bang!
Under intense pain, that Raider screamed and fell backward. His scream lasted only 1 second before he was accurately shot in the head.
At almost the same time, Ye Xing forcefully lifted the metal cover used for camouflage above his head and emerged from the sand pit.
At this moment, the Raiders' three vehicles had just driven over his head. Due to the close distance, with Ye Xing's shooting talent and insight, there was no reason for the grenades to miss.
"Here you go!"
Amidst the sound of explosions, the axle of one vehicle was blown off, causing it to lose balance and overturn.
After stopping, it became a sitting duck. Ye Xing emptied a six-round drum, sending the enemies on their way, and then retreated back into cover to reload.
Near the spaceplane, Jubian also began to counterattack.
Comparing the aerial images, this guy quickly calculated the firing angle mentally and could achieve suppressive fire from within the cover without exposing his head.
Intellectual players have their own unique way of playing!
"Charge! Anyone who dares to retreat, I'll be the first to shoot him!"
Team Leader Dusha had fallen into a frenzy.
He was still seeing Xiewei's team as a lifeline, completely unaware that those people had already spilled their blood on the yellow sand.
After this round of attacks, only twelve or thirteen Raiders were still alive.
The Raiders on the vehicles turned around and frantically poured firepower onto Ye Xing's position.
Two fists are no match for four hands; Ye Xing was temporarily suppressed and couldn't raise his head.
However, thanks to the presence of the foxhole, as long as the enemy didn't charge up and throw grenades, he could defend himself for a while.
The remaining two vehicles and 9 Raiders continued to charge forward, encouraged by Team Leader Dusha.
"This won't do. We can't let the enemy successfully charge towards the spaceplane!"
Jubian realized the potential danger.
"Someone must jump out to attract firepower! If it's about being a decoy, I'm the most suitable since my combat strength is relatively weaker!"
As a science and engineering person, Jubian's rationality was almost cold; he quickly calculated the most logical next move on the battlefield.
He decisively stood up from the foxhole, holding a "Striker" automatic rifle, and unleashed a burst of fire.
"Feeling energetic, huh? Come on! Shoot at me!"
As he expected, this action quickly attracted the enemy's firepower. After a series of gunshots, Jubian felt as if his chest had been hit by a heavy hammer, and he fell backward accordingly.
I've been hit!
Although I can't feel pain, this must be because the game limits the maximum pain sensation. My vital signs are definitely disappearing rapidly. I'll probably start losing consciousness in about ten seconds, and then be forcibly logged out...
Huh?
However, the unconscious logout Jubian had anticipated did not come.
He got up to check and found that his chest had indeed been hit, but the combat suit was not penetrated. The bullet had been compressed into a disc shape and was embedded in the indentation.
The combat suit has a certain degree of bulletproof capability, I almost forgot about that!
Inside the cockpit, Lu Yuan, who had an overview of the entire situation, calmly operated the Pad, activating the remote-controlled bombs buried under the sand.
The last line of defense.
Since they didn't need to be thrown, these remote-controlled bombs were made very heavy and powerful, instantly blasting the yellow sand dozens of meters high, practically covering the sky and sun.
Although they couldn't achieve direct hits due to the sparse placement, under such a massive display, the last two all-terrain vehicles still stopped in fear.
Why are there landmines too...?
How many more landmines are there ahead?
These Celestials, their preparations are too thorough, aren't they?!
Could it be that their plan from the beginning was to lure us into attacking and then wipe us out? Were they here to seize territory from the start?
Damn it, they dared to scheme against me?!
Dusha was almost on the verge of collapse.
At this moment, he saw an all-terrain vehicle speeding in the distance. His heart filled with joy, thinking it was Xiewei rushing to his rescue.
However, that all-terrain vehicle chose the best firing angle and stopped sideways halfway.
Caoyuan jumped out of the vehicle, quickly unfolded the sniper rifle bipod on the hood, and looked through the high-magnification optical scope.
The enemy was already a turtle in a jar.
With a gunshot, the final counterattack horn sounded.
"Brothers, it's time to charge!"
Ye Xing roared in the public channel and flipped out of the foxhole simultaneously with Jubian.
The two, using Caoyuan's sniper cover, launched a pincer attack in a bull-horn formation, firing grenades while steadily advancing.
Lu Yuan operated the drone to dive and drop bombs, coordinating with Caoyuan's sniping.
In terms of firepower, the 35mm high-explosive rounds completely overwhelmed rifle bullets, especially after the enemy lost the mobility advantage of their vehicles.
Explosions rang out one after another, shrapnel flew everywhere around him, and Dusha completely gave up resisting.
"I... I surrender! Ceasefire!"
But the fierce players wouldn't let him off just like that. After the grenades were used up, the automatic rifle's spray followed.
After everything quieted down, Dusha, who had fallen to the ground, had both legs blown off and more than a dozen bullet holes in his body.
As for the younger brothers whom he had pushed and kicked, forcing them to shield him on the periphery, their deaths were even more horrific, with none surviving.
"Everyone check your ammunition, and don't let your guard down for now," Lu Yuan shouted in the team voice channel.
He operated the drone to ascend again, and after repeated patrols, confirmed that there were no more Raiders in the surrounding area.
"Alright, confirmed there are no more reinforcements around. We won this battle!"
"Yay!"
Ye Xing jumped three feet high.
This battle was too perfect, and the footage captured was also very exciting!
Jubian, standing nearby, habitually pushed up his non-existent glasses, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Seeing the various weapons and equipment he designed achieve a record of over thirty kills to zero deaths, the sense of accomplishment in his heart was naturally immense.
As for Caoyuan, he felt a long-lost sense of peace.
Yes, peace.
After retiring, because of his low mood, he had sought a psychologist, who had given many suggestions, trying to help him forget the pain brought by the battlefield.
Now, Caoyuan could finally confirm that for him, a just war never meant pain!
The reason for his low mood was not because the battlefield brought psychological trauma, but because he couldn't return to the battlefield!
The roaring transport plane cabin, the parachute infiltration under the night sky, lying prone for hours waiting for a sniping opportunity, the cold feel of the trigger on his fingertips...
Those unforgettable memories were the most real life.
Returning home, the bed was so soft that it was difficult to fall asleep...
"Everyone worked hard in this battle. Gather to check the remaining ammunition, and then return to the hibernation pods to rest as soon as possible. I'll be responsible for the aftermath and collecting the spoils," Lu Yuan continued to speak.
"Alright, we'll leave it to Team Leader!"
Actually, Ye Xing was so high that he didn't want to log off at all.
But there was no other way. Perhaps for the purpose of preventing addiction, game characters had stamina limits.
Moreover, he also needed to quickly edit today's battle into a video and post it online.
Ye Xing had requested the first-person perspective footage from the other three, and combined with the drone's aerial footage, he should be able to fully restore the complete picture of this great battle!
"Oh right, Team Leader, what do we do next?" Ye Xing asked before logging off.
Lu Yuan thought for two seconds.
"The contact with these Raiders is not over yet. Since they had the audacity to actively seek out Cangyuan Future Technology, they must pay a corresponding price."
"The next mission is to find the Raiders' camp and take over all the supplies they've hoarded, to accelerate the construction of our camp."
After saying this, the system information refreshed simultaneously.
