Shortly after midnight, the sky began to be full of dark clouds, and by two o'clock it was raining incessantly. Such weather caused great trouble to Lin Rui and others. Their hiding bunkers began to flood, and the ditches overflowed. When a person slides into a ditch, the dirty water will reach the feet and necks.

Visibility was further reduced by the rain pouring down in the pitch-black town, and rebel and government forces could be heard firing at each other in the distance. The sound of gunfire and explosions did not stop because of the rattling of the rain.

The general still issued orders in the headset, directing the operation in detail. The rebels' battle line turned a corner here, and the fortress that Lin Rui and the others were going to attack was in the center of the town, on the part where the corners protruded.

Lin Rui raised his head and let the rain wash away the mud and dried blood on his face. They cleared the previous bunker and hidden rebels, and Peng Lefeng helped them block the enemy reinforcements outside. At this time, he had time to catch his breath. Lin Rui felt that he was almost at the limit of fatigue, and after the military uniform on his body was soaked, it became heavier and colder, and his combat boots were filled with muddy water, and he felt difficult to walk.

He looked back and saw that there were probably more than thirty people around him, half of them were mercenary members, and the other half were government soldiers from Ammor. There was also a group of government soldiers under the command of Major Jeroga, probably fifty or sixty people. Jeroga was the commander of the government forces, and he was one of the officers in the Amor army who had been trained as a mercenary from the Black Isle Company. Originally, there were nearly a hundred people under him, but now there are only fifty or sixty left.

"Tiger, you take two people to crawl over and cut the barbed wire fence there. At that time, one of the grenades thrown by me will be used as a signal to attack, and the others will follow closely with the grenades to drive the enemy in front of the fortress out of the fortifications. Capture the fortifications at the front of the fortress before the enemy could regroup.

At the same time, Peng Lefeng attacked another rebel position, about two hundred meters or so from here. His seventy-odd assault troops will come and join us when they succeed. Everyone is careful not to make our own people hit each other by mistake in the dark. Do you understand?" said Lin Rui, gritting his teeth.

"Understood. You give the order, we carry it out. Major Heroga nodded.

"Move! Lower the center of your body, don't walk in a straight line, and try to get as close to the surrounding cover as possible. Lin Rui rushed out of the bunker with a gun.

This section of the street was so badly damaged by artillery fire that it was so potholed that it was impossible to move quickly in it. Most of the road surface was blown away by shells, and the soft soil was soaked in water and became muddy.

The mercenaries and government troops were asked to assemble and form a column, and then led by Lin Rui and Heroga, marched quickly in the dark, with the others following closely. The rain was still falling and it was pitch black all around, but the wind had stopped. It's all over the place, it's terrible mud. The dirt road was muddy, slippery like a greased single-plank bridge, and there were large puddles everywhere.

As early as the way to leave their position and assemble here, some people had fallen several times, and the guns in their hands had fallen to the ground and were covered with a thin layer of mud. Lin Rui picked up the gun and stuffed it to the government soldier, "If you want to live, just take this thing." It's what you need to survive. In such a place, it is better to have a broken arm than to drop a weapon. ”

They crossed the gap in their positions in columns, and with great difficulty crossed a trench dug by the rebels, which of course had now become a ditch. The sound of wading in the water of "plopping, plopping", and the sound of running water of "whooshing, whoa".

After wading through the waist-deep canal, dirty, sticky mud bubbled up from the cuffs of the boots. Lin Rui felt that he was about to be hollowed out, but he couldn't fall. He knew that once he fell, it was all over. He was the first to pass, standing in front of the collapsed building in front of him and waiting until the team had all passed the ditch.

Then, with a gesture, he bent over, leaned down, and moved forward cautiously. The rebel fortress was just over a hundred meters away from them. The only prerequisite for them to get there is that they don't make any noise.

Ah Hu followed Lin Rui and Heroga at the front of the group. As they watched carefully, they bent over and moved forward in the darkness at a slower pace than one step at a time. Raindrops kept hitting their faces.

Lin Rui glanced back, and could vaguely see some of the people closest to him, who were bent down like huge black mushrooms quietly and slowly moving forward. But whenever they raised their heads and looked forward, Lin Rui said in a low and stern voice, "Bow down!

Although, based on experience, he knew that in this dark night, there was no one standing twenty paces away at all, and the most important thing was to keep quiet and not make a sound. If the enemy hears them, they're done. As long as the rebels shoot indiscriminately into the darkness with their machine guns, they have nothing to do but flee or wait for their death.

The rebels probably didn't know they had arrived so quickly, and they could still hear the noise and the roar of the rebel commander giving orders in the distance.

However, it is almost impossible to move on rain-soaked ground without making a single sound. It's hard to do it anyway, the boots on your feet get stuck in the mud and you make a popping sound with every step.

The wind stopped, but luckily the rain was still falling. Otherwise, on such a silent night, even the faintest sound would have traveled far away. But the noise of the rain still provides some cover. There was a false alarm. One of the team members slipped and fell, and if it was usual, maybe the rebels would have heard it. But no, not a single sound was heard, no gunfire in response, and there was no movement in the rebel fortifications.

Lin Rui breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move forward, but the speed of travel was even slower. He only needs to reach a distance where he can attack with a grenade before the enemy notices their movements! At such a moment, there will not even be any fear, only a huge uncontrollable desire to quickly reduce the distance to the attack position.

Lin Rui felt exactly like rounding up a beast at this time, just as anxious as he was for his prey to come into range, and he was also dream-like about whether this would be true. He knew it was a long distance, only a hundred and fifty meters, but it felt longer than a road.

Because when he moved so slowly, there was slimy mud under his feet. It is also important to avoid colliding with the chattering debris. The collapsed piles of rubble were even more troublesome, because it was impossible not to make a sound when crossing them.
