In addition to deploying two snipers, the special operations company also deployed a sniper grenade.
It was originally said that the sniper grenade has an effective range of 1,200 meters. This distance range is the ultimate range of most sniper rifles.
Even an anti-material sniper rifle like Barrett's has an effective range of only 1,500 meters, but almost no one would shoot at the extreme distance, so the probability of hitting the target is really low.
Unless it is in a training ground, where there is no interference, sufficient light, and good shooting conditions, elite snipers can hit targets at extreme distances.
On a real battlefield, it is really rare to hit an enemy at this distance.
Some people may say that the farthest sniper distance in the world is two to three thousand meters, and a distance of 1,500 meters is not enough with hands.
This is actually like a marathon. Just knowing that the marathon champion can run 42 kilometers in less than two hours makes you think it is easy to complete the entire marathon.
But in fact, even if there is no time limit, the vast majority of people in the world will not be able to run the entire marathon. Even the ten kilometers in the first stage is enough to win over too many people.
Not every sniper is the best, so using special cases as examples and thinking that you can do it too is really inappropriate.
Therefore, the sniper grenade has too great an advantage against the sniper rifle.
Some people may think that since the sniper grenade is so powerful, why do we need a sniper? The training of a sniper is time-consuming and laborious, so why bother.
In fact, this is a different division of labor. In terms of weapons, although the sniper grenade is sufficiently offensive, it is still relatively large. Its stature is comparable to that of a heavy machine gun. Without a gun mount, it cannot attack remotely.
But snipers are different. If a sniper lurks, it is really difficult to find.
It can only be said that various weapons have advantages and disadvantages. It is better to compare each other than to be compatible with each other, so that the combat effectiveness can be maximized.
Because the sniper grenade is a weapon that is difficult to hide, and the operator is only an ordinary soldier, so he was placed at the back.
Although the sniper grenade seems very powerful, if you want to hit the target, you must find the target.
If you can't find it, how can you fight it?
On the contrary, because this weapon requires a tripod, if it is placed too far forward, it will be easily seen by enemy special forces. If the sniper grenade shooter is dropped by the enemy in a sneak attack and the enemy obtains this weapon, the loss will be too great.
The special operations company commander was very satisfied with this arrangement and took the others into hiding.
It’s not that the special operations company commander has never thought about letting others follow in the ambush, but for special forces, there is a greater possibility that targets will be exposed when there are many people. To deal with snipers, they can only use snipers.
To deal with elites, you can only use elites, and filling in with people is the stupidest method.
Soon Lin Yi walked along the ravine for two kilometers.
For him, these two kilometers were an absolutely safe distance, but outside this area, he couldn't guarantee it, so he didn't dare to show his head rashly. He just lay on the ground and slowly observed the surroundings.
The other two people did not dare to speak and could only guard the surroundings with guns.
Because several of them were armed with rifles, fighting from a long distance would be a one-sided massacre for a sniper.
Therefore, Lin Yi also made a request to them: they must not surpass themselves and always stay behind them, so as to ensure that they will not be attacked.
Lin Yi glanced around and found that there was nothing unusual under the display of reconnaissance skills. This was obviously impossible. The Blue Army could not be defenseless.
Then he activated the eagle eye skill and quickly scanned around. There was still no movement and no danger ahead. Lin Yi took advantage of the situation and lay down to take a breath.
But when you look upward, the blue dots stand out.
Are there blue dots in the sky? This is definitely the blue team’s reconnaissance drone.
The reconnaissance range of this kind of drone will not exceed five kilometers, which proves that there are definitely people from the Blue Army within the five kilometers range.
Lin Yi asked the two to use blankets to hide themselves.
The reconnaissance drone may be equipped with a thermal infrared sensor. This seemingly bluffing equipment is also easy to defend. After all, even with a high-definition camera, it is impossible to achieve absolute reconnaissance at 200 meters in the air.
Otherwise, why would we need scouts? Why not just throw drones into the sky?
After hiding, Lin Yi could no longer move forward. Although the drone was small, it had a clear view of the sky, so he could see clearly with just his reconnaissance skills.
The drone is now five hundred meters above your head. This distance is considered a red line. If you move around within this range, your chance of being discovered will greatly increase.
So we can only wait and wait for this drone to leave here.
The sky is huge, and a distance of five hundred meters is nothing. The drone hovered in the sky for about ten minutes, and after confirming that nothing was found, it flew away.
At this time, almost half an hour had passed. The people from the special operations company looked at the drone operator and asked, "Did you find anything?"
The drone operator shook his head, "We haven't found anything so far. It should be because they hid it too well."
The special operations company commander looked at the time and said helplessly: "Take the drone back first. You don't have many batteries. Use them sparingly. Don't run out of power. You won't be able to use it later."
Lin Yi saw the drone flying farther and farther until the blue dot disappeared, and he knew that the drone was two kilometers beyond his observation range.
Moreover, the direction in which the drone disappeared was directly in front of itself, indicating that the company headquarters was in front.
Lin Yi did not wait, and immediately called for people to move. Now the corner of the sun has been exposed in the east, and the visual conditions are getting better and better, but the terrain here is flat and there are almost no obstructions.
If you don't hurry up and move forward, it will be difficult to run again when it gets really bright.
But just after running for a minute, a huge sense of crisis suddenly hit him. Lin Yi tripped and fell straight to the ground.
At this time, the first-class soldier who was following behind suddenly had a smoke pack explode on his head.
There are snipers.
Lin Yi and the corporal lay on the ground and did not dare to move.
The corporal quickly shouted: "Assistant Lin, what should we do?"
Lin Yi couldn't see the enemy because his Eagle Eye skill was still on cooldown. Even though they had all fired, the reconnaissance skill still couldn't find the target, which meant that the enemy was probably 800 meters away.
Under such visual conditions, one shot can kill a person from 800 meters away. This level of sniping is definitely considered top-notch.
Lin Yi didn't dare to move now and could only wait for the cooldown time of Eagle Eye to end. However, he was not idle either. This place was being targeted and he could not stay any longer. He had to determine the next moving target first.
"Just lie down and don't move. I'll think of a way."
The platoon commander grinned and said slowly, "Kill one person."
After the special operations company commander received the radio, his face was full of excitement, "Where are the other two? Are they all together?"
The platoon leader nodded, "I'm aiming at them. Now that the visual conditions are getting better and better, these two people shouldn't be able to escape from my grasp."
The company commander heard the confident tone of the platoon commander and said with a smile: "Well done, after you kill these three people, I will go back to the battalion headquarters to celebrate your victory. I will get you a battalion headquarters commendation at least."
