Wikipedia definition
2. CrossfireA crossfire (also known as interlocking fire) is a military term for the siting of weapons so that their arcs of fire overlap. This tactic came to prominence in World War I. Siting weapons this way is an example of the application of the defensive principle of mutual support. The advantage of siting weapons that mutually support one another is that it is difficult for an attacker to find a covered approach to any one defensive position.
