The enemy shooting at them maybe? This is not urban combat we are seeing here. The enemy can be out any were between 100-900m on the other hill. Its hard to tell from this video how far out the enemy is.

Yeah, I was just going to bump it myself. I'm rather surprised more people aren't interested.

I believe that is suppressing fire/fire superiority.

Dont want to detract anything from the original video, thought you brah's might like this;
Quote:
Occupied only by Y Company of the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment Battle Group who were isolated 20 miles (32 km) from the main battle group in Abu Naji and dependent on convoys for resupply, they faced an estimated 500 militia who launched a total of 85 assaults on the compound over the next 23 days.
Incoming fire from the Mahdi Army included 595 mortar rounds from 230 different bombardments, direct hits with 57 rocket-propelled grenades and six 107 mm rockets plus 86 infantry attacks on CIMIC house itself. In return, the British fired 33,000 rounds, countless Challenger, Warrior, and High Explosive Mortar shells and mangaged to persuade the US Air Force to drop a precision laser guided 500lb bomb onto enemy mortar positions in open ground right in the middle of a built up-city, defending their positions in trying to repulse the Mehdi Army in what has been described as "the longest continuous action fought by the British Army since the Korean War 50 years ago". It was also the "lengthiest defensive stand since World War II"
Among the soldiers defending CIMIC house was a large contingent of Reservists (Territorial soldiers) who were mobilised to serve with the PWRR and QRL Battle Groups in April 2004. They included Territorial soldiers from 52 Lowland Regiment and Soldiers from various different squadrons of the Royal Yeomanry regiment.
One death. Private Chris Rayment, who died when a vehicle barrier fell on his head, that was struck by a Landrover returning under fire. RIP
Where the adrenaline from the fire fight wears off...
Similar to like a caffine crash.
