The explosion only lasted for less than a few dozen seconds and ended. Then the mercenaries who were still alive rushed to the explosion point like crazy and rescued the few remaining boxes of shells before the flames engulfed everything. It's not that everyone feels distressed when the shells are fired, it's that if these shells explode, the consequences will be even worse.
The helicopter overhead had already left, leaving the machine gunners on the high ground to vent their bullets in the direction the opponent was leaving, but this meaningless venting was soon stopped.
Francois stood up from the foxhole in disgrace. At this moment, he understood why Shadow Company gave up the defensive position to him so easily. It could be said that even if the battle was won, within a few years, his team would be There is no way to go back to the past state.
But now, we have reached this point. Even if the gains outweigh the losses, we have to keep fighting. If we win, we still have a chance. If we lose, there will be no chance. Francois still remembers what Shepard said to him. That one million reward!
Now that he is so insistent, there is also some motivation in it. He wants to smash that arrogant American's face with his 42 boots.
"Take inventory of the damage, treat the wounded, and prepare to attack!"
Looking at several artillery pieces that had been deformed by the flames, Francois closed his eyes in pain. Although these artillery pieces were old, they were originally exchanged for real money, but now, everything is gone!
Ekko ran over in a hurry, and was stunned when he saw the old man who had aged a lot in an instant, and then started to comfort him.
"Well, Mr. Tondel from United Mining said that he has contacted Mr. Denard, and he promised to send forty more good people to help you!"
"Forty, Ek, look where we are, and look where Bob is! By the time the people he sends come, everything here will be over!"
"But that can be considered a supplement later!"
"That is also later, not now. Look, Ek, our opponents, they are down there, looking at our disgraced faces in the traps set up, and we still have to continue to fight!"
"If they can't defend it, we will definitely win!"
"Did we really win?"
"We will definitely win, old man. Our brothers are still waiting for your order. As long as you ask and charge, this mining area will be ours. By then, the income of millions a year will be enough for us to do a lot of things." It’s over!”
"hope so!"
Francois picked up a handful of charred dirt and scattered it. Then he looked at Ek.
"I need everyone to be ready for battle. Everyone, wait for my order to start attacking!"
"clear!"
Hundreds of mercenaries quickly reorganized the messy defensive position. All the broken limbs and arms were buried, and the twisted weapons were cleared away. Then, the mercenaries cleared away the few remaining heavy weapons. The machine guns were set up on the side of the high ground facing the mining area, and without artillery support, these heavy machine guns were their only means of attacking the mining area!
At three o'clock in the afternoon, with another whistle blowing, dozens of Belgian mercenaries who had been prepared on the position took the lead to cross the hillside and launched an attack toward the valley along the downhill slope inside the valley.
This attack was extremely smooth, and they were not even attacked when going downhill. Under the leadership of a commander, the Belgian mercenaries successfully occupied the dry river bank below the high ground, and had a good assault here. position.
Subsequently, the mercenaries sent a signal to the top of the hillside, and the second group of people was preparing to go down the mountain. As this mixed team of mercenaries from various countries was going down the mountain, the recoilless rifle that had been silent for a long time suddenly opened fire on the high ground on the south side. .
The rapid bombardment directly exploded in the queue. The mercenaries immediately rolled down the hillside without caring about their dignity. When they rolled and climbed down the hillside, the Shadow Company PMCs on the other side of the river started shooting again. The PMCs set up a line of fire on the slopes of more than a dozen rolling hills, constantly bombarding the second batch of mercenaries with grenade launchers, and they wanted to reach the river bank occupied by the first batch of mercenaries. We also had to run across a dry riverbed nearly fifty meters wide on foot. This distance was undefeable and there was no cover at all.
This is like a carefully constructed killing trap. The Apple team that has been waiting here for a long time is a carefully planned hunter. Each team member is responsible for a point, and all they have to do is to shoot as much as they want.
The area less than 200 meters turned into a hell in an instant under the fire of dozens of automatic weapons. The mercenaries even had to pay the price of one person falling down every time they took a step forward.
Although the Belgian mercenaries on the river bank and the mercenaries on the highlands tried their best to provide assistance to the friendly forces, the Apple detachment located on the reverse slope was not within their attack field of view at all. The heavy machine gun kept tilting bullets towards the mountain. But after all, I felt lonely.
The Belgian mercenaries on the river bank tried to outflank the defenders behind the mountain through both sides of the river bank, but they were intercepted by snipers halfway. The PMC snipers using semi-automatic rifles did not even consider the efficiency of killing the enemy. Seeing people going crazy Pulling the trigger, after firing one magazine, he replaced it with another, directly blocking the Belgian mercenaries on the river bank.
And when the last mercenary broke through the fire blockade and ran to the river bank with difficulty, nearly twenty corpses were already lying on the dry river bank, and more than a dozen seriously injured people fell to the ground unable to struggle, and could only scream miserably. wailing.
This forced Francois to give up his plan to let the third group of mercenaries go down the mountain. At least it was impossible to control the mountain front!
He could only let the Belgian mercenaries attack Tushan, hoping to continue to compress the Shadow Company's defense, or at least push it back.
The Belgian mercenaries without backup also knew that the situation was critical at this moment. Under the leadership of the commander, they immediately approached the Tushan area again. At first, the mercenaries made smooth progress and successfully occupied about one-fifth of the outermost area, but then they , and as they went deeper, things got worse.
The jagged mountains are stacked together. Although it is not a maze, because it extends in all directions, the blockade of the mercenaries has no effect at all. Instead, Apple teams continue to launch raids from all directions. These PMCs who are familiar with the terrain don't even care. The hit rate is that it appears from a diagonal corner, runs away after filling a magazine, and when the mercenaries try to catch up, they will be attacked by enemies from the side.
Such a bad situation caused the mercenary responsible for directing the battle to lose control instantly.
