Chapter Eighty-Three: The Battle of the Town 3
We opened fire in the opposite direction, and a moment later a rocket flew out from the window of our house and exploded in the opposite direction.
"Flashbang!" I yelled to remind myself as I threw a flashbang into the clearing, and after a strong flash, I shouted, "Advance! ”
"Cover shot!" Walker shouted and pulled the trigger as I finished speaking.
There were quite a few people in the clearing, but they were scattered. The flashbang illuminated them a lot, and the bullets fired were a little out of bounds for a while. We broke up quickly after rushing out of the house, shooting at the men as we continued to push forward. The people in the building opposite started firing again a moment later, but the bullets were not as violent as they had been. It seems that the other side does not have too many people, and under great pressure from the east, although there are still some defenders in other directions, but after being raided, the defense force will soon be weak.
"Gypsies! Take down that row of houses! Walker's voice came from his ears.
I glanced ahead, there was still a distance of more than 20 meters, and the opponent's firepower was not very strong, so it seemed that it could be taken. "Has the people in the back arrived?" I asked.
"It's here. I'll be up right away! Walker replied.
"Cover us!" As soon as I finished speaking, a denser stream of bullets flew in from the direction we had entered, and for a moment the people in the opposite house could not make an effective return fire.
I led someone from the right edge of the clearing to quickly reach there, and just as I was about to arrive and prepare to repeat the old trick, a bad feeling suddenly hit me. I was stunned for a moment, and just as I was stunned, there was movement from all around the outer edge of the clearing, and then after a series of muffled sounds, the sound of something being launched.
"Hidden! Hide! I screamed. This was followed by a series of explosions in the clearing.
This was done with a grenade launcher, and the attack was not only sudden but also very violent. The explosion made it impossible for me to see Walker and them for a while, and the originally fierce cover fire over there was instantly muted. No wonder Ruo said that after the attack, he was attacked more violently.
I glanced back at my team, perhaps because we had been walking on the edge, and there were no losses in personnel. It's just that everyone's faces are a little stiff.
"Go on! Rush into the house there first! As I spoke, I got up and continued to move forward, and at the same time, on the outskirts of the clearing, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps, and it seemed that the other party was about to come in and fight back and strangle.
I quickly got to the side of the house, and this time I didn't have time to put explosives or anything. I threw a grenade directly into the house. After the explosion, the oil bottle and Paro entered the house through a breach in the wall, followed by a burst of gunfire. I and Pinto and Fabri followed closely. There were three or four people in the room, but certainly not all of them.
"Two more people ran away." The oil bottle pointed to the dark inside of the house.
At this moment, the gunfire in the clearing intensified again. I looked outside, and the guerrillas had already stormed the clearing. And at the moment someone in the clearing is shooting at them. It should be Walker them.
I went to the shooting hole in the house, looked at it, and said, "Drag the oil bottle, you and Paro go inside and keep an eye on our ass." The others worked with me against these guerrillas out there. ”
And it wasn't me who fired first, but the oil bottle and Paro who went to the house. Their movements immediately attracted the attention of the guerrillas outside. I didn't delay any longer and immediately pulled the trigger at them. Under the blow of the three of us, the guerrillas who had been rushing towards Walker and they entered the clearing panicked.
"Push! Push forward! Walker's shouts came from the other side. Hearing his voice immediately lightened my heart. But the sound of gunfire behind me was getting louder and louder, and my heart was lifted again.
"Gypsies! We can't stand it here," came the shout of the oil bottle.
I glanced outside, and at this moment the guerrillas could no longer hold up under the fierce counterattack of Walker and the fifty men who followed, and began to retreat, and there was little point in us continuing to stay here. I threw a grenade directly outside the house and walked inside with Pinto and Fabry.
In the back room, Drag Oil Bottle and Paro are shooting outside by the window. Judging by the bullets that flew into the house from time to time, there were quite a few people outside, and they would not be very far away. It seems that the opponent's counterattack is not over. I probably looked out the window, and about a hundred meters away was the church, which was noticeably taller than the other buildings in the town, and at the moment it looked more like a fortress full of shooting holes, with fires shining everywhere. Below the church, through the flares that fly into the sky from time to time, you can see that many people are moving, as if they are organizing defenses and deploying personnel.
Walker followed with the men, and the fifty men quickly continued their assault on the town through the clearing, but at the same time the guerrillas who had withdrawn from the clearing did not go far, and they attacked again after a simple formation. First there was a round of grenade bombardment, and then another attack was carried out under the cover of machine guns in the direction of the church.
Outside the row of houses was a narrow road leading to the church, and at this moment the guerrillas who had withdrawn, together with some other reinforcements, were engaged in street fighting with us. Their first wave of attacks took a toll on the fifty-man team, but Walker kept urging them to keep going, moving forward.
"Walker. The road here is too narrow. Our people simply can't open up. They're in a good position, and we're uphill now, so we lose a lot of money if we go hard. I said to Walker.
Walker's expression was grim, and he turned around and called the RPG shooter, "Blow up the houses on both sides of the road!" Blow them up! ”
Moments later, two rockets flew out, but the effect was not ideal. The men there were only a brief ceasefire and then they continued to shoot at us. During this time, Walker commanded the fifty men to attempt an advance, but they were quickly suppressed and could not advance or retreat.
"Go on! Keep blowing them up! Walker shouted. But before we could blow it up, shells flew from the direction of the church. And the hit was very accurate, and it exploded directly near the house we were in.
"Damn it!" Walker screamed and got up from the ground, and was about to start speaking when another round of shells fell. Immediately after that, the guerrillas rushed out of their hiding places, and the bullets from the direction of the church became more violent, and another round of their counterattack began.
These partisans not only shot at us on one side, but also often threw grenades. Those of us who had just attacked were quickly besieged, and we were killed and wounded in an instant. And the people behind couldn't respond at all because of the suppression of the firepower that the other party had been maintaining, so they could only watch.
"Does Carl have any advice there? When will he have fifty more people? I used the time to change the magazine to ask Walker, who was not far away.
Walker looked back at me and said, "He said we want to stand up and keep the pressure on each other." The form of the east side is similar to ours, and it is not yet time to finally put it all in. ”
"Didn't get us to turn to the east either?" I asked.
"Nope. He's still waiting. Walker continued to shoot at the guerrillas.
I changed my magazine and continued to fight, but the guerrillas got closer and closer. From time to time, we fired rockets at them, but they threw grenades, or explosives from grenade launchers.
"Let's retreat to the back." I shouted as I looked at Walker.
Walker looked at him puzzled, "What? What did you say? ”
I pointed to the rear, "Get out of here." Fighting here will only drain us here. Let's get out of here and hold the clearing. Let Karl turn in the mortars, and the flamethrowers. I need a flamethrower. I have a way to deal with them. ”
When Walker heard me say this, he looked at the church in the distance, and was very reluctant to give the order to retreat. They quickly withdrew to the clearing and the houses next to the clearing, near the edge of the town. The guerrillas quickly followed in our retreat, thinking that we would not be able to resist the pressure to retreat, and were ready to drive us out of town all the way. But after leaving the road that led in the direction of the church, their advantage was lost. The men who fought back were quickly beaten and retreated after leaving behind some of the corpses.
The guerrillas then tried to attack twice, but soon stopped when they found that they could not take advantage. We entered a stalemate phase with them. Taking advantage of this moment, we counted the Internet, a total of twenty casualties, my team suffered the smallest losses, no one was killed, and the injuries were also some skin injuries, while Walker's team lost two people. The others were among the fifty.
"Karl was unhappy with our retreat. But he said he'd be sending us what we wanted soon. Walker said.
I smiled and said, "What about dissatisfaction. Now the conductor here is not him. Besides, I have a way to team guerrillas. ”
Walker looked at me and said, "What's the solution?" ”
I hesitated and said, "This method may be a bit immoral, but it should work well based on the terrain here." ”
"What the hell is going on? How did you start being like Carl too? Walker asked anxiously.
"Burn it with fire." I said, gesturing to the house, "You notice that none of these houses are all wooden. I even saw houses with thatched roofs on that street. That's why I want a flamethrower. The road leads uphill to the church, and you know that fire is the easiest to light something higher than itself. All we had to do was set fire to the outer ring of houses, and soon the fire would spread in the direction of the church. ”
"At last the church becomes a roasted turkey on a fire?" Walker was the first to speak.
"Uh. Pretty much. What do you think? ”
Walker nodded, "Yes, yes." And even if it can't be burned completely, as long as the fire burns, it will definitely help us drive away all the people who are ambushed inside. But what else do you want mortars for? ”
"Aren't we going to attack first? When we attack again, we let the mortars blow them up, then take advantage of the situation, and then set fire to our people. I said.
Walker nodded, "Good." I'll tell Carl. Let's see if we can get Joao and them to try that too. ”
Five minutes later, Walker sent someone to pick up a group of people. The men brought three mortars and grenade launchers, plus two flamethrowers, and Carl heard that we were going to set fires and brought us a lot of gasoline.
I sent the grenade launcher to Paro and Pinto and the Mighty Mouse. After that, after determining the approximate position of the shelling. We set up mortars. Shelling began on the partisans on the road leading to the church. And we, with two self-defense troops with flamethrowers on their backs, began the offensive after three rounds of shelling.
