The fifth wave of attacks by the mercenaries was repulsed and they paid a heavy price.
Not only was a Stuka bomber lost, making Montelo's support once again in vain, it also caused more than 500 casualties.
From the massive 4,000 people who came to the battle at the beginning, the number of participants has now fallen below 3,000.
The contractor won a temporary victory, but also paid a heavy price.
More than 20 people were injured in this battle. The minor injuries were just scratches but did not affect the continued fighting. The serious ones were hit by bullets and basically lost their combat effectiveness.
There were originally 201 people including Long Zhan, but now there are less than 190 people left on the front line.
The reduction of combatants is only secondary.
The most troublesome thing was the loss of weapons and ammunition, which brought the defense capabilities of the Jagheda base to the bottom and had to find ways to make up for it.
Three Deshka heavy machine guns were destroyed, which can be said to be the biggest loss point.
Without the suppression of these three heavy-fire machine guns, if the mercenaries continue to attack, it will be more difficult for the contractor to defend.
In addition, the heavy machine guns had been focused on by bombers before. In order to withstand the mercenaries who were already within a hundred meters and were about to rush into the trench, the contractors had no choice but to fire at any cost.
The consequence is that the bullet consumption speed is at least double that of conventional defense.
In less than an hour of fighting, all the members of the Titan team fired a terrifying 140,000 rounds of bullets.
Evenly distributed among the logistics personnel, each of the more than 150 meters of contractors involved in the battle fired nearly 1,000 rounds of ammunition.
According to the magazine, there are more than 30!
In other words, it takes less than two minutes on average to empty a full magazine.
After Long Zhan purchased ammunition from Yuri, and also received ammunition airdropped from General Solon's plane, the base's ammunition reserve was originally very sufficient.
It is expected that it can withstand at least three waves and a battle in which all mercenaries charge.
As a result, the plan could not keep up with the changes.
After the fifth wave of battles, the base's ammunition became very cramped and was simply not enough to support the sixth wave of battles.
It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. How can we fight this war without ammunition?
Now we are in big trouble!
In order to be able to cope with the coming battle and continue to withstand the attacks of mercenaries, Dragon War had to use a substitute with poor performance.
All the old antiques in the warehouse were taken out and evenly distributed to the four positions in the southeast, northwest and northwest.
Let most contractors give up the ak series and standardize the bullets for use by a small number of people. They all replace them with antiques from World War II.
Use a mix of old and new firearms and ammunition to restore the base's defense capabilities as much as possible.
Springfield sniper rifle, Lee Enfield rifle, m16 automatic rifle, MP40 submachine gun, Somi submachine gun, Bren light machine gun, etc.
These old gadgets are back on the battlefield. No one can guarantee whether they can withstand the attack of mercenaries.
You can only treat a dead horse as a live doctor!
Long Zhan and the contractors in the base were busy in order to consolidate the defense. They were busy preparing for the sixth round of attack until the afternoon.
As a result, it was quiet throughout the afternoon, and the mercenaries did not show up at all.
You can only observe through the telescope on the roof. You can see that three to four hundred meters away, mercenaries are guarding various important positions to prevent Long Zhan and his party from escaping.
"Are you afraid of being beaten?"
When Long Zhan and his men discovered this situation, they could only make such guesses.
The whole afternoon was uneventful, except for the smell of barbecue and meat, mixed with the smell of burning gasoline, and the prairie wind smelling of gunpowder smoke, drifting back and forth on the battlefield.
The beasts seemed to be attracted by the smell of barbecue, and kept howling in the surrounding area in broad daylight.
This continued into the evening.
Long Zhan thought that the mercenaries had been attacking during the day and had fought so many times without any effect, so they would definitely try to take action at night.
I specially conducted an inspection of each position and told the team members to be extra careful tonight.
Even if the teammates fought for three days and three nights in a row, the total rest time did not exceed 10 hours, and everyone was very tired by this time.
But in order to be able to hold on to this last fortress, we have to wait until the United Nations intervenes.
If it doesn’t work, you have to continue to hold on.
However, Long Zhan's worries were unnecessary. The mercenaries did not seem to be frightened by the beatings. Instead, they had gone through five waves of brutal battles and were really frightened by the contractors.
One night passed.
Nothing happens.
Not only was there no attack at night, there was no movement on this new day, the fourth night when the original battle broke out.
The mercenaries made no move, and Long Zhan realized that this was not going to work.
If you continue to put your own people on high-pressure alert, and the mercenaries continue not to initiate any actions, and there is no need for mercenaries to attack the contractors, their mentality will collapse.
Not knowing why the mercenaries were delayed and just sent people to block the entrance and exit, Long Zhan readjusted his response plan.
The contractors were divided into two and divided into two shifts to take turns to rest.
Half of the people were on first-level combat alert in the position, and the other half returned to the camp and slept with their guns in hand. If they were attacked, they would reunify and enter the battle.
At the same time, a material search team was dispatched at night to recover the guns and ammunition dropped by the mercenaries on the battlefield using the same method used to search for materials.
The number of mercenaries killed and injured on this battlefield has exceeded the 1,000 mark.
In addition, at the end of the fifth wave of battles, some mercenaries were so frightened that they dropped their guns in order to run faster.
This means that the weapons and ammunition left behind on this battlefield are actually very considerable.
After two waves of contractor team members spent the night collecting and collecting, basically all the weapons abandoned by the mercenaries on the battlefield were recovered.
Don't say it.
Although the weapons of the mercenaries are not very good, they are all replicas of the AK series, and they are all semi-new guns, and they are in better condition than Yuri's batch.
Obviously, the financial backers behind these mercenaries really spent a lot of money to support Montero.
The recovered more than 300 AK-series rifles, as well as more than 20 light machine guns, with a total of more than 1,000 magazines, were really a surprise in the battle.
The addition of this batch of weapons and ammunition has really relieved the pressure on the base.
Nothing happened on the fourth day.
The contractor licked the boxes on the battlefield and harvested a batch of very good supplies.
On the fifth day, nothing happened.
The sixth day was the same.
The mercenaries seemed to have forgotten their mission. If the entrance and exit of the Jagheda Mine were not still monitored, Long Zhan would have thought that the mercenaries had given up their plan.
Nothing happened on the mercenaries' side, but there was a new situation on Long Zhan's side.
