From 1994 to 1995, during the first street fighting in Grozny, the 131st Brigade and the 81st Motorized Infantry Regiment of the Russian Army, which first attacked the city center, were attacked by the Abkhaz battalion and the ****** battalion, an elite Chechen armed force, and the 131st Brigade suffered 70 casualties among more than 300 people in the city center, and the brigade commander was killed; Only 1 officer and 10 soldiers of the 81st Motorized Infantry Regiment were evacuated alive from the city center.

The reason why the Russian army suffered so much damage is that half of the Chechen armed forces are composed of retired special forces from Western military powers, including members of the Navy SEALs from the United States, members of the 9th Brigade of the German Border Guards, and members of the Thundering Special Forces from Poland.

These mercenaries are experienced in battle, and in the street battles in Grozny, they are divided into teams of three, each with a sniper, a machine gunner and a bazooka man. This three-person combat team is highly lethal, fast-moving, and has a combination of long-medium-close firepower, which can be called the golden combination of urban street warfare.

Throughout January 2000, 75% of the soldiers killed by the Russian army were killed by sniper rifles, and even Major General Malofeev, the commander-in-chief of the Russian army on the Grozny front, also died under the sniper's guns - two shots in the head and one in the back, each shot was fatal.

"The street battle in Grozny is, in fact, a war between snipers and snipers."

After stepping off the helicopter, Li Yifeng looked at the city in front of him, which had been rebuilt, but could still see the traces left by the war, and said: "In the street battles in Grozny, there are too many sniper examples that can be called textbook-level, and these sniper examples are used as sniper training materials by many special forces in the world until today. For example, some sniper instructors of the 9th Brigade of the German Border Guards were mercenaries who participated in the street battles in Grozny that year, and after the war, they were re-drafted into the army as instructors of the sniper school, which is one of the reasons why the snipers of the 9th Brigade of the German Border Guards are so famous. ”

……

After arriving in Grozny, the three special forces of Longyin, Alpha, and Vympel did not make too many stops, and immediately set off for a small town called "Uruskaz" in the Grozny district.

The technical department of the Russian Federal Security Service, in order to recover the mail data in Soloriv's laptop, located it through IP that Umarov was in an apartment in Uruskaz and contacted Soloriv.

Although Uruskaz is a small town in the Grozny district, it is in fact so small that it is not even found on official maps of Chechnya, and only on unofficial maps printed by some private local printing houses.

Although the area of Uruskaz is small, during the Grozny street battle, the most tragic sniper battle took place here.

Snipers of the Russian special forces and snipers of illegal Chechen forces fought here for nearly a week to the death, and snipers on both sides were killed every day, and at the most, more than 50 snipers were killed in a day.

After the end of the second street battle in Grozny, it was calculated that the dead special forces in Uruskaz alone accounted for a tenth of the total number of casualties.

That's why Uruskaz is also called "снайперкладбище" - "sniper graveyard"!

At the end of the war, when the Russian Air Force bombed the entire Grozny, Uruskaz naturally became the focus of care, and the entire Uruskaz was seriously destroyed by aerial bombs, even after so many years, Uruskaz as a whole still showed a post-war dilapidated appearance, plus from time to time Chechen terrorists were active, and many newly rebuilt houses were destroyed in a blink of an eye.

The streets of Uruskaz are narrow and complex, and the widest roads are only two lanes, and when the armored troops enter Uruskaz, tanks and armored vehicles cannot be spread out at all, and they can only be targeted by bazooka fighters.

In addition, the streets of Uruskaz are lined with matchbox-like buildings, many of which have been devastated by the war and are long uninhabited, but for snipers, these dilapidated buildings are the best sniper positions to hide and escape.

Therefore, in Uruskaz, the activities of Chechen terrorists are the most frequent, and even if the Russian side has repeatedly sent troops into the clearance, it has not been able to eliminate them.

In the night sky, large snowflakes fell down, and the snowflakes melted as soon as they fell to the ground, and the dilapidated streets were wet, and the street lamps on both sides of the street had already been on strike and could not work.

Three special forces members advanced down the street, their eyes warily scanning the seemingly quiet ruins of the buildings around them, watching out for snipers who might be hiding inside.

Beside Ilo, an "Alpha" special forces member suddenly flew upside down, followed by a piercing gunshot that broke the silence of the night.

"There are snipers!"

With his left hand, Ilo grabbed the "Alpha" team member who had been hit by the sniper and retreated to a destroyed bungalow on the side of the road, with only half of the walls remaining.

The snipers in the team immediately scattered in all directions, holding sniper rifles, staring at the sniper scope and searching for the snipers hidden in the shadows.

At ten o'clock in Ilo, behind the remnant wall of the third floor of a dilapidated building 100 meters away, a sniper of the "Black Widow" terrorist organization wearing a black robe and covered with a black veil covered his mouth and nose poked out the SVD sniper rifle in his hand from behind the remnant wall again, and his eyes flashing gloom and hatred in his eyes staring at the sniper scope.

The "Black Widow" sniper aimed the crosshair of the sniper scope at Ilo, who was dragging the injured team member and retreating backwards, and after that shot just now, she could already confirm that Ilo's level was higher than the others around her, and the sniper value was greater.

"Sniper, ten o'clock!"

This time, the "Black Widow" sniper failed to succeed as she wished, and she was discovered by Sun Yuan before she could lock on to Ilo, and then a string of bullets swept over, including machine gun bullets, automatic rifle bullets, and sniper rifle bullets.

The bullet crackled against the broken wall, and the broken bricks that were knocked off by the bullet hit his face, which was very painful, but this pain made the hatred in the eyes of the "Black Widow" sniper even stronger.

She knew she had to shift, as more intense fire would soon follow.

The Black Widow sniper lay on the ground, crawled forward for some distance, quickly got up from the ground, walked out of the room, and went up the stairs to the fourth floor of the building.
