"It's not going to work, our people are in that area. The Orumi federal troops, the shelling of those bastards is not accurate at all. The coordinates of the artillery support we reported to them, they were able to deviate by hundreds of meters. And the buildings there are dense and well shaded, and sporadic mortar shelling is not of much use. The officer of the rebellious company shook his head.

"But this stalemate is not going to work, we have to come up with a solution. Conan paced back and forth.

"Helicopters certainly don't work, not only do they have individual anti-aircraft weapons, but they also burn rubber tires on the roofs of many buildings. The large amount of smoke obscured us made it impossible for us to lock them down at all, and we were in danger of being shot down. The officer shook his head and said, "Shelling won't solve the problem." Their purpose in withdrawing into this area is to limit our air and artillery superiority. Now all means are not as effective as direct ground attacks. ”

"Then intensify the offensive and continue to press them. I'll give you two hours, and you must destroy them all before it gets dark. If it doesn't work, you'll lead the team yourself. Conan snapped.

"Yes sir. The officer nodded.

The Order's assault intensified, and the gunfire crackled like fried beans. Lin Rui lay on his stomach next to a ruined wall that had been blown up, shaking off the dust on his head. "Damn it, Russians, how are you there?"

"I'm still holding on, but I don't know how long I can do it. Sergey replied in the wireless communication channel.

"I'm running out of here, they're bombarding us with recoilless cannons. But the good news is that their armored vehicles can't get in. Sausages blew down a building in front, and they were temporarily blocked. Crazy Horse replied loudly.

Lin Rui poked out his head for a burst of shots, and then prostrate on the ground again, with a whistling of bullets on his head. "What about the casualties?"

"Two died, and the gadfly and his bodyguard were also injured. Crazy Horse replied as he shot, "We can't stand it, we have to retreat." ”

"Okay, back off. Lin Rui reluctantly rolled up and jumped nearly ten meters, and pounced on the back of the building on the other side. Almost at the same time, a rocket exploded on the wall where he had spoken, and the blast of air rose with debris, causing him to feel a burning sensation on his face.

Sausage rushed over with his head down, placing a broadsword mine in his backpack among the roadside rubble of the blasted ruins, and quickly completed the setup. "Damn, you'll have to pay the price if you want to come here!" His face was covered in dust and sweat, and the corner of one of his eyes was bloody, presumably scratched by the debris from the explosion.

"Stop talking nonsense, follow me!" Lin Rui grabbed his arm. As he ran, he said loudly, "How many explosives do you have?"

"The explosives have long since run out, and there is only one mine left. Sausage ran with her head down, and said, "If you go any further, I won't be able to stop them from pursuing." ”

"Damn it!" Lin Rui stomped his feet, strode wildly, dodged into another alley, and pressed his headphones and said loudly, "The Southern District is about to be lost, I order everyone to move closer to Area No. 4." Immediately!"

Snake-Eyes replied, "Understood." Withdraw and I'll help you keep an eye on you. Both he and Yelena were on high ground, covertly providing cover for the rest of the team with precision sniping. In fact, in this kind of street fighting terrain, the casualties caused by the two snipers were even much higher than those of the other team members who fought in close quarters. And it has a great effect on the enemy's forces.

But their lives are not easy either, in order to avoid being discovered. They lit a number of rubber tires nearby, crawling among the rubble and bricks, using the smoke and fire to disguise their presence. Even though he was wearing a gas mask, he could still feel breathless and depressed. What makes it even more tricky for them is that the opponent also has snipers, and they are quite skilled, and they can often lock their position in an instant with their trajectory and launch a counterattack.

As a result, both Snakeeye and Yelena had to move frequently, firing a few shots before changing positions, unable to provide constant cover for the rest of the team.

"Hand grenade!" Lin Rui ran a few steps and suddenly found smoke under his feet, pushed away the sausage, and jumped into the window on the side of the road almost reflexively. "Boom!" The explosion almost shook Lin Rui's eardrums, and there was a burst of tinnitus and dizziness that lasted for more than three minutes.

This state has a special term in boxing matches called bell ringing. It is usually a brief series of tinnitus and trance that occurs after a boxer has been hit the head. This isn't a big deal in the ring, and it usually takes a few minutes to recover. But on the battlefield, those few minutes are enough for the opponent to shoot you into a hornet's nest. Lin Rui buried his head between his hands in pain and took a deep breath, trying to recover quickly from this brief dizziness.

He felt that the air he breathed was filled with the smell of dust and gunpowder, and there was a bit of blood.

When he recovered a little, he realized that he had been shocked and had a nosebleed. Fortunately, this is a defensive grenade, relying on fragmentation to kill, and the impact from the explosion is not as good as the offensive grenade. Otherwise he would have been even worse. Lin Rui staggered up and walked outside, only to find that the sausage was dragging one leg and also staggered to his feet.

"Damn, I'm hurt. The sausage spat out and foamed with blood foaming from the mud and sand in his mouth.

"It's okay, the blood is very dark. Lin Rui took off his turban and wrapped his wound. If the color of the blood is very dark, it means that it is venous blood, and the shrapnel should not have injured the artery. The situation will be much better, the thigh is injured, and the most feared is to hurt the femoral artery, which will lead to a lot of blood loss, and if it is not handled well, there is a risk of blood loss and death.

Sausage smiled bitterly, "It's like it doesn't hurt if it doesn't hurt the artery." ”

"Luckily, although it hurts, at least it will save your life. Lin Rui tightened the bandana as a bandage with a bullet, and then picked up the sausage, "Press it yourself, relax every once in a while to avoid muscle necrosis." I don't want the best Demoman on the team to be a cripple. Can you still walk?"

"I think so. The sausage limped against her legs.

"Then go, take care of your wounds as soon as you join up with the others, and don't cripple yourself. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "I'll leave you to buy some time." ”

"It's too late, boss, let's go together!" said Sausage, gritting her teeth, "or stay together." ”

"Where is all this nonsense, I haven't called you a newcomer for a few days, and I really think of myself as an old qualification?" Lin Rui sneered, "Leave the grenade, and then get out immediately." ”

Sausage didn't dare to say anything more, put down the backpack in his hand, and rushed forward with a limp and a suffocating head.
