Shadow Company's mobile detachment is not large in number, but it gathers basically all the company's motor vehicles. In addition to two m20 armored reconnaissance vehicles, it also includes three m151 light jeeps. These jeeps are all purchased from the local African market, because the local Due to the poor road conditions, this kind of sturdy and durable off-road vehicles has always been in strong demand in the local area.
These five vehicles and the twenty or so PMCs on board were considered the entire combat force. During the second day of the battle, they once participated in the encirclement and suppression of Belgian mercenaries as infantry. However, on the third day, You don’t have to use your feet to move.
Hannibal deployed the mobile detachment in the smelting workshop of the factory area. The building density here is high, and the transportation is convenient and extends in all directions. It can not only provide good cover, but also facilitate the mobile detachment to attack.
Since last night, the combat strength of the mobile detachment has been continuously increasing. Hannibal now only has more than a hundred combatants on hand. The remaining ones are either killed in battle or seriously injured and are lying in the medical clinic. In order to ensure that the assault can Successfully, Hannibal transferred the Apple detachment, which had suffered the greatest losses, and the Charlie detachment, which had been acting as a reserve and firefighting team, took the place of the Apple detachment.
The busy preparations continued until the morning. When breakfast ended at eight o'clock, the mercenaries who had also been deploying troops all night began their offensive again.
The shadow of mercenaries appeared again on the southern front, which had been silent the next day, but there were not many in number. There were only more than forty people. Under Eck's command, they continued to harass the defenses on the southern front, and attacked them step by step. The defense line is exerting pressure. Once they find that the fire suppression from the southern highlands is weakening, the mercenaries will choose to press forward. Once the highlands strengthen the fire suppression, they will retreat, just like dog skin plaster. The Butter Squad would never dare to give up the southern highlands. After all, there are only these two highlands in the river valley. If one is lost, it will be forgotten. If both are lost, then everyone will not even think about counterattack.
On the north side, the mercenaries adjusted their tactics and divided their troops into two groups. Instead of attacking the mountains, they chose to outflank them from the plains on both sides.
The mercenaries first dropped the simple shield parts welded last night from the mountain. The mercenaries below assembled these parts and finally turned them into mobile shields with wheels. Each mobile shield was two meters in size and thickness. It's also several centimeters long and requires several mercenaries to push it.
Although they were panting from exhaustion, the mercenaries did not dare to be lazy at all. After all, this thing was related to their own lives, so everyone used their hands and feet to drag and drag these combined mobile shields to the river bed.
The Shadow Company snipers who were responsible for observing and guarding also saw these guys, and everyone quickly opened fire. As a result, the mercenaries were grouped into groups of more than a dozen, huddled behind thick shields, and began to advance towards the plains on both sides.
The Charlie detachment responsible for garrisoning Tushan also quickly joined the battle. The two sides engaged in a fierce exchange of fire, but they could not help each other. The mercenaries continued to advance under the cover of shields. Although the speed was very slow, it was very effective. In less than an hour, they advanced. When we reached the middle of the factory area, we were about to bypass the mountain.
Charlie's detachment once wanted to launch a counterattack and push the enemy back, but was strictly ordered by Hannibal to hold on to their position. Then, when dozens of mercenaries advancing from both sides of the river completed the three-sided siege of Tushan, Charlie's detachment Ordered to retreat by Hannibal.
"According to the planned plan, let your people run better for me. Before, you praised your people for their best acting skills. Don't screw it up for me!"
Hannibal shouted loudly to the commander of the Butter Squadron on the walkie-talkie.
Later, the latter also responded confidently.
"Don't worry, the people under my command are not bad at becoming actors in Hollywood!"
After receiving the order to retreat, the Butter Squadron immediately began to withdraw from the battlefield in an orderly manner with alternating fire teams covering the battlefield.
The combat team at the front threw a large number of grenades. On the one hand, it created noise to attract the enemy's attention. On the other hand, the large amount of smoke and dust would also cover up their actions. Then the two teams at the front picked up their weapons and ammunition and quickly retreated to the rear. , when they passed the third batch of combat groups, they immediately stopped, and then reoccupied the high ground and assumed a defensive posture. At this time, the second batch of firepower groups started the same process again.
Therefore, the mercenaries only felt that the exchange of fire between them and the Tushan area became more and more intense. It was not until the second group of personnel withdrew that they realized something was wrong, because although the gunfire was fierce, the mercenaries did not notice that bullets were falling around them.
Then, it wasn't until the third batch of fire teams withdrew from the Tushan area and retreated into the factory area that the mercenaries discovered that their opponents had run away.
Francois personally directed the mercenaries to try to encircle them quickly, intending to surround the Shadow Company personnel who had not escaped, but the latter moved faster. They kept throwing grenades and smoke bombs, and then ran all the way, just in front of the mercenaries. He escaped before the siege closed.
The mercenaries who pounced on the empty ones only saw various useless objects discarded on the ground, such as empty aluminum magazines, discarded bullet bags, and carrying equipment.
Francois even saw the discarded m72 rocket launcher, although it had been used. In addition, they also saw discarded field rations and boots. It can be seen that the enemy evacuated too urgently and left so many things.
"The other party is panicking!"
Francois picked up the half-eaten bag of compressed biscuits with a smile on his face.
Then, Francois turned to look at the factory area. The route the Butter Team took to evacuate was simply a garbage road. They threw away too many things, and even a few broken rifles.
The road continued to the factory area a few hundred meters away, and then disappeared without a trace, but Francois could see the faint figure behind the factory window.
"Well done, boys!"
Francois immediately made a fist and then swung it forward fiercely. This was his celebration.
At this moment, they have occupied a quarter of the factory area, and they only need to move forward no more than a kilometer to seize the center of the entire mining area.
However, Francois is not ready to continue the attack now. The factory area is full of hidden spots and bunkers like the mountains, and they also need manpower to fill them in. Francois is not ready to continue to consume his men. He is waiting for United Mining support.
After all, United Mining has a lot of money, and I think it won’t hurt if hundreds of people die!
