Chapter 83: A Third Party Emerges

Although Pang Jindong has also organized several small-scale combat exercises in daily life, the real battle is different after all, and the soldiers need to face a lot of psychological pressure. And it's not like a drill, where mistakes can be repeated, and any small mistake at this moment can cost you your life.

After all, the Blood Lion Legion had the advantage in numbers, and the attack was timely and organized, and the enemy was pinned down behind the truck for a while.

Pang Jindong could not fight a war of attrition because the soldiers did not carry many bullets with them. The enemy was also unwilling to drag on, and divided two groups of men to outflank the makeshift position. As a countermeasure, Pang Jindong asked the first company and the second company to attack separately and attack the outflanked enemy.

Pedro had just led the first company to its feet, when a dense volley of bullets struck, and many soldiers burst into blood and fell to the ground. Some of them died instantly, while others rolled on the ground in agony.

Although these people were haggard when they first came, and although they were not proud to join the Blood Lion Legion, they had feelings after all to get along with each other, and watching them progress was an indescribable sense of achievement. Pedro couldn't help but be angry from the bottom of his heart, lost his composure, and even forced his way up in the face of the rain of bullets, and some brave soldiers followed closely behind him.

Some of the experienced soldiers ran in a zigzag like Pedro, while others ran in a straight line in a daze. The enemy soon noticed the difference in the tactical level of the soldiers, concentrated their fire on the inexperienced recruits, and eliminated them one by one.

After Pedro rushed some distance, he found himself alone in the depths, and the follow-up soldiers did not follow, but the enemy's fire became more and more fierce. He immediately fell to the ground and made a gesture for the sniper to take position immediately.

Snipers are not something that anyone can do, and the minimum requirements are good mental intelligence, accurate eyesight, and highly accurate intuition. Because you need to maintain a position for a long time, you also need to have excellent physical fitness. In addition, there are also requirements for personality, it is best to be more introverted, and can tolerate the loneliness of waiting for the goal.

All the snipers of the Blood Lion Legion were carefully selected, and the first company was especially elite, and after receiving Pedro's order, one of the snipers immediately pulled the trigger with intuition.

The bullet hit an enemy in the waist, and with a "bang" sound, the entire upper body was blown up, and the lower body flew a few steps away with the strength of the bullet.

However, the sniper also made the mistake of not wearing earmuffs in his hurry. He used a large-caliber anti-materiel sniper rifle, which had the same effect on the shooter as if it were firing a gun with a sound that was attached to the barrel.

The sniper felt as if his eardrum had been punctured, and a wave of dizziness ensued. He screamed in pain, dropped his gun and covered his ears, and crouched there motionless with his eyes closed.

Another sniper learned his lesson and took out two enemies accurately.

But the fighters were often fleeting, and the mistakes made by the 1st Company soon caused their casualties to exceed a third. Generally speaking, if a unit reaches such casualties, it will lose its combat effectiveness, and the first company can hardly launch an attack according to Pang Jindong's requirements, and its firepower will soon weaken. Pedro commanded some to fire at the front line with the enemy, while others were responsible for moving their wounded companions to the rear.

The enemy spotted the left flank of the 1st Company's defense as a weak point, quickly concentrated his forces on this flank, and slowly pressed up. Fortunately, the machine gunners of the 1st Company, veterans of the Gulf War, used methodical burst fire to suppress the enemy who tried to rush forward.

The situation of the second company on the right flank was not optimistic, although they did not make subjective mistakes, and while trying to hide themselves, they attacked in a roundabout way, but the enemy quickly concentrated their heavy fire on this side, and several bazookas were fired in turn, and the fire and smoke of the rocket explosions drowned them out. The company could only lie on the ground or hide behind obstacles, and some soldiers were unintentionally raised and cut in half by the rapid rockets. Some of the soldiers lay on their stomachs on the ground, and although they escaped the explosion of the rockets, they vomited blood and died.

The company commander noticed the mistake of the soldiers, risked his life to come to a soldier whose body was in close contact with the ground, grabbed him by the collar and lifted it up vigorously, and told him: "Do you want to strengthen the earth? Don't make too close contact with the ground!"

Many people intuitively believe that it is safe to keep your body as low as possible when explosives explode, but this is a wrong view. Because the shock wave generated by the explosion will be transmitted to the human body through the ground and destroy the internal organs of the human body, the correct approach should be to support the ground with the joints of the limbs, leaving a certain space between the torso and the ground, so as to minimize the shock wave that can be transmitted to the body.

Experience is only actually gained on the battlefield, and although it is usually told to soldiers, it is often ignored because of the variety and lack of deep personal experience.

The power of the rockets was not great, and if heavy artillery was used, the second company would have been completely reimbursed at this time.

The second company, which had no way to move an inch, soon became a weak point, and a small group of the enemy began to launch a tentative attack.

Iverson observed the form and said to Pang Jindong: "If we continue like this, we will be surrounded!"

Pang Jindong sighed: "I can only break through from the center!"

At this moment, the roar of a motor was faintly heard, and a Bradley armored car was seen rushing towards the enemy's bazooka position, and the automatic weapons on the roof of the car were firing non-stop.

"It's Liu Fuyi!" Pang Jindong smiled and praised: "Good job!"

Since the establishment of the General Staff Department and his appointment as Chief of Staff, Liu Fuyi has not often participated in daily training, but has concentrated on staff work. He did not receive the alarm beforehand, but he did not hesitate after hearing the gunshots, and after learning about the battle situation, he commanded two staff officers to rush over in armored vehicles.

This armored vehicle, which suddenly appeared, quickly eliminated the enemy in small groups on the left flank, broke down and occupied the enemy's bazooka positions, and at the same time suppressed the enemy's counterattack with weapons, allowing the second company to relieve the pressure.

The 2nd Company, despite the heavy casualties, quickly maneuvered, joined up with the armored vehicles, and consolidated the forward position.

However, the left flank had collapsed, and the enemy was surrounding the position in a half-moon shape, and Pang Jindong ordered: "The third company replaces the first company, you must resist me!"

The new deployment has not yet been completed, and the enemy's frontal attacks have intensified, and many of the enemy have even arrogantly rushed directly forward. The third company was unable to take over the first company and effectively repel the enemy's charge.

Pang Jindong calmly observed the battle situation, and bullets kept flying beside him, and one of them even passed close to his ears. But Pang Jindong was unmoved, because he needed to support the entire battlefield, and once Pang Jindong collapsed, the entire front would also collapse.

Unbeknownst to both sides in the midst of a fierce battle, another convoy drove up the road and stopped on the periphery of the base.

A woman in a bright gray professional suit got out of the car and looked coldly at the battlefield in the distance.

"Miss Parker, it looks like someone did it before us!" a man in a suit approached Miss Parker, his tone tinged with regret.

"It's not strange!" Miss Parker smiled and told the man who spoke, "Jerry, this guy has offended too many people!"

Unlike most people, Miss Parker's smile is asymmetrical, usually just a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth. So even when she's really happy, it feels like a sneer, mixed with disdain and ridicule.

The subordinate asked, "Are we going to do it as planned?"

"Fool, do you want to go up and die?" Miss Parker glared at her subordinates and said impatiently, "The best thing to do is to wait until they are both defeated, and we will go up and clean up the mess!"

In fact, despite her intention to take advantage of the fisherman, Miss Parker believed that even if she entered the war at this time, with her own strength at this time, it would not be a problem to clean up both sides.

Anderson is embroiled in a drug network scandal that has greatly affected his power and influence. Unable to extricate himself, he couldn't take care of Pang Jindong, which made the Corbino Center see an opportunity. Although they know they may face Anderson's revenge, billions of dollars can send anyone into a frenzy, and their stamina is good enough.

The attack planned by the center concentrated all the forces of the center, as well as a group of agents temporarily dispatched by the director of the CIA to reinforce them. Although all of them wore suits and ties, and did not look like a soldier, they were no less capable of fighting than a small elite army.

Miss Parker walked away alone, stood on a high place and watched the scuffle, and asked herself, "Jerry, who is your opponent this time? You must not die until I find you, or no one will be able to tell the whereabouts of this money......."

In addition to the need to know the whereabouts of the money, Miss Parker didn't want Pang Jindong to have an accident, and there were other reasons. This reason has always been buried deep in her heart, and she is unwilling to face it, because now she is no longer the big girl who got along with Pang Jindong day and night.

The situation on the battlefield was at a stalemate, and the enemy was supposed to have fewer troops than the Blood Lion Legion, but the Blood Lion Legion, after suffering a large number of casualties, did not have a numerical advantage in the number of soldiers who could continue to fight.

In addition, the enemy's skilled combat skills not only far surpassed those of these recruits, but also the heavy firepower was more powerful, with several machine guns pouring bullets generously into the position under the cover of trucks, and the Blood Lion Legion could only barely resist by relying on obstacles.

The phrase "Who still has bullets?" was the most frequently asked question among soldiers.

Pang Jindong ordered a soldier beside him: "Go to the armored car immediately, and tell Liu Fuyi to go to the ammunition depot to carry ammunition immediately!"

The soldier had just stood up when a bullet was pierced through his forehead, and his life was gone.

"Damn!" Pang Jindong scolded, stood up and ran towards the armored car.

One of the enemy's machine gunners noticed Pang Jindong, and the muzzle of the gun slowly turned to shoot all the time. After the bullets kept falling on his feet, Pang Jindong could feel the shock wave of the bullet even through his boots, but he was not hit by a single bullet.

At the same time, the left flank was on the verge of collapse, and the first company, which was at the forefront, had collapsed. The enemy was eager to end the battle as much as possible, so he did not bother to clean up the first company, and crossed them and attacked directly at the third company.

"Let the armored vehicles cover you, retreat in the direction of the ammunition depot, replenish ammunition and heavy weapons, and then come back!" After Pang Jindong gave an order to the commander of the second company, he asked the soldiers again: "Who can drive an armored car, follow me immediately!"

The company commander and Liu Fuyi immediately complied with the order, and several soldiers volunteered to run behind Pang Jindong to the garage.

The second company of ammunition has run out, and it is just a matter of waiting for defeat to continue fighting, so Pang Jindong can only arrange it this way, and at the same time mobilize the other two armored vehicles into the battle.

The crux of the battle at this point is that the 3rd Company must withstand the enemy's attack, and once they collapse, the enemy can calmly destroy each unit one by one.

Iverson watched from a distance, understood what Pang Jindong meant, and understood that he was likely to need to be sacrificed to save the whole battle, and a kind of grief and anger arose.

When people are in a desperate situation, they are often inspired to have incomparable courage and potential, and Iverson asked himself in a low voice, "Are you going to die here?" and then shouted to all the soldiers: "Third Company, give me bayonets!"

When the soldiers of the 3rd Company heard this order, they were stunned at first, and then loaded their bayonets to the muzzle of their guns.

"Do you want to fight bayonets?" the soldiers looked at Iverson nervously, their faces distorted by the cold light of the bayonets.

Iverson was the first to leap up from the ground and shouted, "It's a big deal to die here!" Before he could finish speaking, he was already rushing towards the enemy with his bayonet.

Led by Iverson, the soldiers' madness was aroused, and they followed with a roar.

Even during World War II, few Japanese armies were able to launch a white-knuckle charge, except for the Japanese army, which was inspired by the spirit of bushido, and after that, such scenes were never seen on a human battlefield again.

With the increasing firepower of various types of weapons and the continuous improvement of accuracy, this behavior is tantamount to sending people to death. But on the other hand, the white-knuckle charge is also the most able to reflect the fearlessness and bravery of the soldiers. When dozens or hundreds of people rushed towards them with a shout of bright bayonets, anyone would be deeply shocked.

"These madmen!" one of the enemy commanders gasped and shouted to his soldiers: "Don't look! Shoot! Shoot me!"
