Song Heping felt he had been careless this time.
When Latif's village came under attack, he should have anticipated that Samir would be targeted as well.
Luckily, the car was bulletproof, and the enemy's AK series assault rifles couldn't penetrate the high-strength bulletproof Lincoln SUV.
A car that costs millions is still somewhat useful.
Money is a fine thing.
The few guys shooting at the convoy from hiding were only taking advantage of the initial attack and favorable terrain, but they didn't know to seize the opportunity to pin down Song Heping's convoy with firepower and then implement a pincer from both sides. Instead, they foolishly set up their guns on a distant sand slope and opened fire towards the convoy's hiding spots.
Such attack methods are common in the Z-east region.
Most are militia who join different armed factions halfway through, some with professional training from military service, but the majority have no basic training at all, not even in firing guns, instead relying on hands-on combat to learn and grow.
So, as soon as a firefight occurs, it's all about spraying bullets from behind cover, with no thought of how to tactically overpower the opponent.
Song Heping quickly spotted the enemy's weakness, so he made a tactical hand signal to Jiang Feng: "Flank them and take them down! I'll handle drawing their fire."
Jiang Feng nodded, then he, along with Klein and Collins, turned and vanished into the night.
"Hunter, found a position yet?"
"Not yet!"
Heavy breathing came through the earpiece from Hunter.
"It's mostly flat ground here, hard to find a vantage point; it's all sand!"
"Don't rush, find a good spot. We can hold on!"
Song Heping and Disaster Star took cover behind the car, bullets kept striking the vehicle, making clanging sounds.
Even though Song Heping and his team were accurate shooters, the enemy outnumbered them and occupied the high ground on the sand dunes. With a distance of over a hundred meters, and at night, even with night vision, it was difficult to hit the target with each shot.
The two sides could only be at a standoff, unable to get the better of each other.
But for Song Heping, letting the enemy spray his bulletproof car wasn't a solution.
Bullet-proof glass would still get damaged, as would the bulletproof armor; after all, this wasn't a Humvee or light infantry armored vehicle, and with enough hits, the bulletproof panels would fail.
"This can't go on. Disaster Star, go to the backseat and bring over the M320!"
Song Heping remembered they had the M72 and M320 for evacuation, which were excellent against infantry taking advantage of terrain or holed up in fortifications.
"Hang on."
Disaster Star said and then crouched down and slipped into the car.
Soon, he came out with an M320 grenade launcher and brought a box of grenades.
Song Heping said, "You continue to suppress them, draw their attention. In a few minutes, Jiang Feng and the others will be in position."
While speaking, he loaded a grenade into the M320 launcher and then cautiously moved to the front wheel of the Lincoln SUV, guessed the rough direction, suddenly stood up, aimed, and pulled the trigger as quickly as possible.
Thump—
A grenade shot out of the barrel.
Even though this M320 grenade launcher was a low-end model without sights, it was not too hard to hit the target at a distance of over a hundred meters.
Boom—
An explosion erupted on the top of the opposite dune.
The enemy's gunshots instantly died down.
But they quickly picked up again, even more vigorously.
Song Heping changed his position to observe for a moment.
He noticed that the impact point of the previous grenade was a bit too forward.
He took another grenade and loaded it into the launcher.
The caliber of the M320 is 40MM, both power and range are decent.
The only downside is that it is single shot and reloaded one at a time, which makes the fire rate slow, and it cannot compete with the six-round MGL140 grenade launcher in terms of continuous firepower.
But it is handy and easy to carry, so Song Heping liked to keep one in the car in case of encounters with enemies hiding in bunkers and foxholes.
Now it really came in handy.
After estimating the deviation of the previous impact point, Song Heping corrected his aim.
Suddenly standing up, he raised the launcher slightly.
Thump—
Another grenade was fired.
This time, the explosion was extremely precise.
The grenade landed right behind the pile of rocks at the top of the dune.
Even over a hundred meters away, Song Heping could hear the cries from the other side.
But how many of the enemy had died, he wasn't sure.
