At half past nine o'clock in the evening of November 28, 2007, Cape Town time, the refurbished combined forces began the second joint air-land bombardment.

Because, the joint forces changed their strategy and let the helicopter gunships fly to the rear of the jungle, while concentrating on finding a large heat source, while scattering explosive packs everywhere without purpose, preventing them from being hit by Stinger shoulder-fired missiles, and forcing the remnants of the Thunder Army to move to the front of the jungle.

This kind of behavior of indiscriminately scattering explosives bags in the sky is further lethal than the purposeful tactic of constantly bombing against certain squads, but it gives greater psychological pressure to the remnants of the Thunder Army.

As long as the Thunder Squad is located at the back of the jungle, you will feel the "thrill" of not knowing what, a bag of explosives will suddenly fall, and then explode with shrapnel. This kind of pleasure once or twice is nothing, ten times or twenty times, even if the thunder rolls around in the pile of dead people, the sound of gunfire and explosions as the elite of the lullaby.

The most painful thing about death is not after death, nor the moment of death, but the process of waiting for death. This is a famous quote that is said by a celebrity who does not know that Gadari, although no one knows whether it was really said by this celebrity. However, from a psychological point of view, there is some truth in the discourse itself, and this sentence can be applied in this case.

The Thunder Squad, located at the back of the jungle, is almost always frightened. As long as each explosive bag explodes nearby, the team members instinctively make all kinds of defensive tactical moves, and then get up from the ground to take a look, and find that the explosive bag can't hurt themselves at all. The next second, perhaps one of the team members had just breathed a sigh of relief, and another explosive bag exploded. The flying shelmel slammed into him, making bloody holes of different sizes in him, and he didn't even have time to react, so he hung up aggrievedly.

Just put yourself in their shoes to see how much pressure these team members have. What about the elite, the elite is also afraid of death. There is also a threshold for elite psychological endurance, and after that, it will break down psychologically.

As a result, these Thunder Squads, located at the rear of the jungle, could only move to the front of the jungle to receive the baptism of mortar rain, as the joint force command wished.

As mentioned earlier, this jungle is not large, covering a total area of only a dozen square kilometers. So, after helicopter gunships blocked the rear of the jungle, that is, about a third of the entire jungle, by dropping explosives packs all over the sky. There is less than ten square kilometers of space left for the remnants of the Thunder Army to avoid and hide.

Ten square kilometers and more than 100 people, mathematically speaking, these two numbers mean that if everyone in the Thunder Remnant Army is divided equally, each person can have less than 100 square meters of bombing and evasion space. It sounds like a lot of space, but in fact, a mortar shell exploded on the ground, with a killing radius of almost a dozen meters. And a large number of trees in the jungle helped the remnants of the Thunder Army to block shrapnel at the same time. It will also form a large number of stray bullets and ricochets, and prevent the remnants from avoiding shrapnel.

Other than that. There are armed helicopters that provide the coordinates of large heat sources, and there are artillery mortars that quickly adjust and shoot at Zhuyuan, and their shooting accuracy is better than throwing them down from a high altitude without a head or brain, and then because of various external factors, the explosives package that kills and injures completely depends on the blind cat encountering a dead mouse, and I don't know how much higher.

Sum up. The chance of being bombed by the remnants of the Thunder Army this time was no smaller than the first time the combined forces bombarded by land and air, and the number of surviving members was larger, and it actually increased somewhat.

Therefore, when the second round of land and air bombardment of the combined forces ended. When they entered the renovation period again, the number of the remnants of the Thunder Army was already approaching the 100 mark. Among them, many people were also injured of varying degrees of severity, and their morale fell to the bottom. This kind of situation where you can't fight back just by being beaten can't stand it, and for these elites, it's even more uncomfortable than death.

"Isn't it death for Malegobi, Lao Tzu was conscious when he chose to be a mercenary. Rather than being blown up so aggrieved, it is better to rush out of the jungle and fight with the miscellaneous parts of the combined forces. "The psychological pressure has reached the limit, and the remnants of the thunder army who are about to collapse mentally have desperate thoughts in their minds.

However, when they reported their ideas, the higher-ups rejected their idea and told them to hold on a little longer, and the reinforcements would arrive within two hours.

"Two hours, I bought a hiking bag last year, and at the end of the first bombing, they also said that reinforcements arrived in two hours, and now it has been almost an hour and a half, and they told us that they were going in two hours, did they treat us as stupid forks."

"Yes, those bastards themselves wore anti-infrared reconnaissance stealth cloaks, hid in a safe place, watched us jump up and down by the combined forces, and now they want us to hold on, they can't just hope to wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and then rescue them."

"That's right, Artur. Augs, Ali, those bastards, when I first joined the mercenary group, I respected them so much as the leader and deputy head of the Thunder regiment, but I didn't expect that they were all cowards. ”

"Hmph, they never cared about us from the beginning to the end, they just wanted us to delay time with our lives, anyway, even if we died, they would be able to recruit more people with their American knives."

"Company Commander, I don't think we have to fight for our lives for this group of garbage, it's better to take advantage of the combined forces to stop bombing and find a place to break out by the way."

This is a certain Thunder squad of twelve people, after suffering several defeats in a row and being bombed for more than an hour without any way to fight back, the disappointment, distrust, and resentment of the Thunder high-level suddenly broke out.

Looking at the eleven people who were about to mutiny, as a thunderous senior commander who had commanded hundreds of people, the company captain sighed at the eleven remaining people in his company: "Hey, do you think I don't want to, if I could escape, I would have fled a long time ago, but where can we escape without transportation?" I'm afraid that as soon as I got out of the jungle, I didn't walk a few kilometers before I was caught up and killed by the combined forces. ”

"What about surrendering to the combined forces." One of the team members asked the company commander.

"Hehe, we've been fighting with the combined forces for so long, have you seen the combined forces take a single prisoner? After we took that mission, we will be the enemy of China, and in order to maintain our majesty in the dark world, the joint forces and China will definitely kill us. Now, we can only survive by temporarily relying on the protection of the mercenary group, until time passes and the limelight passes. With a chuckle, the company captain told the cold and cruel truth.

"If you really can't do it, just kill those cowards as a vote, I don't believe that in such a situation, the joint forces will still be entangled with us soldiers." As soon as the company captain's words fell, another team member gritted his teeth. From his red eyes, distorted and crazy look, and drooping left hand, it can be seen that this is a wounded man who is under too much psychological pressure and is about to go crazy.

In the face of this wounded man who was about to go crazy, the company captain pressed him who wanted to get up, and looked into his eyes and said solemnly: "No, the high-level has been using satellite phones to keep in touch with the reinforcements, once the matter of our attack on the high-level is known by the reinforcements, what awaits us is the global pursuit of the Thunder and the Vatican, and even our family members will be affected." ”

When the company commander said that it might harm his family, the wounded who had been squirming and struggling to get up seemed to have lost all their strength all of a sudden, and sat back on the ground without moving, and the intention on the faces of the rest of the people disappeared instantly, and the atmosphere fell into silence.

In this almost silent despair, the youngest member of the twelve suddenly said to the company captain in a choked voice: "Then what should we do, company leader, can we only wait for death like this?" I, I don't want to die yet, my son was born just a few days ago, I haven't seen him yet, I don't want to die here like this, Captain Lian. ”

"If you really don't want to die, then run as hard as you can, and pray in your heart that God will have mercy on us so that we will not be blown up." Looking at this team member who was crying out of control of his emotions, the company captain shook his head with a wry smile and said.

After speaking, the company commander took out the close-fitting photo frame pendant necklace, opened the photo frame and looked at the photo inside, which was an ordinary middle-aged white man, a slightly younger middle-aged white woman, and a white girl who looked about a teenager. There is no doubt that this is a photo of the company commander with his family.

After looking at the photo of himself and his family, the company captain hid the frame pendant necklace again, and then got up and said: "If God and his old man unfortunately don't hear our prayers, then let us die." At the very least, it would give our families enough millions of dollars in pensions to live on, wouldn't it? ”

The words of the company captain were like a shot in the arm that hit all the team members present and regained their motivation. Most of the people who will choose to be mercenaries and come to the battlefield are for money, to be precise, for their families.

For the sake of their families, they can do whatever it takes, which naturally includes their own lives.

So, if God doesn't hear their prayers today, and they can't see their families again, then at least they have to trade their lives for enough money for their families to live on.

Thinking of this, they said to the company captain: "I heard the sound of the propeller sliding, hurry up, hurry up, get up if you don't want to die, get up if you want to see your family again, run and run." With a roar, he gritted his teeth and stood up and opened his legs again.

The same scene is playing out again and again in the jungle.

At this moment, the remnants of the Thunder Army are not for collective honor, nor for other messy things, but just to survive and see their families...... Fighting. (To be continued.) )
