Chapter 53: The Battle of the Manor 11

Author's Words: I hope you can support me and vote for me more. Thank you!

The guerrillas have become hanging boots again, and they still refuse to let us go. But at this moment, although they followed closely, they did not carry out a specific attack as they had just done. It is estimated that they still need time to find a safe opportunity to bite again, after all, they should have hurt more when we hit them just now.

But they won't have another chance, at least not in the woods or in today's battle. We didn't stop all the way, Fabry was injured, but not in the legs. Little effect on the speed of his movements. We made a quick walk through the woods and made our way back to the exit of the secret passage before evening.

I looked at the entrance, and it looked like it was when I left, and no one had touched it. I motioned for Fabry to go down first, as he was getting weaker and weaker from the exertion of his strength and blood loss. After they went down, I motioned for the others to go down one by one, and I finally retreated into the secret passage.

As soon as I entered the secret passage, I was shocked by what was inside. Because when I turned my head to look down at the passage below, there were quite a few people standing inside. And these people looked at me when they came down, and one of them was still shining a flashlight on me.

"Gypsy!" This sound made my heart relax. This is Walker's voice.

"Well done, gypsy." Walker said as he came over and hugged me.

I pushed Walker away and said, "Don't be happy just yet, I'm followed by the guerrillas." And why are you free to come here? Didn't the guerrillas go on the offensive? ”

Instead of answering me immediately, Walker turned back and motioned to the Mighty Rats to prepare to set up explosives to blow up the passage.

"We talked as we walked. We're going to have to blow up this passage first. Walker said and pulled me back. And at this moment I realized that Mr. Butler was also here, and his expression at the moment seemed to be relieved, I guess it was not because he saw us come back alive, but because the people who came in were not guerrillas.

"The guerrillas suspended the offensive. Soon after you took them, they launched a fierce attack, and the offensive slowly weakened, and they have not attacked again. Walker said to me after returning to the big house.

I nodded, found a cup, poured myself a glass of water, and took a sip, "Did your counterattack cover our retreat?" ”

Walker laughed when he heard me talk about this, "You found out? It's to cover you. I saw them moving towards you, and I don't have time to count how many, but it's definitely a lot more than yours. I was afraid that you would be surrounded, so I sent a counter-charge. ”

"Thanks to that counterattack. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to say anything. I said with a sigh of relief.

Walker waved his hand and said, "That's nothing. Without mortars, our defense will be much easier. ”

"What about our losses?" I asked.

"It's still within the bearability, and today's day is mainly in the morning when the fighting was fierce, with a greater loss, about ten casualties." Walker replied.

"Including my losses, we've lost a dozen people so far. Our losses were a bit big. I said with a little concern.

Walker snorted and said, "The other party's losses are even heavier, and their losses should be two or three times that of ours." It shouldn't be a problem to stay here for three days. ”

Hearing him say that, I immediately denied, "No." I don't think three days is enough time for Pablo to get back here. And these guerrillas outside will definitely hurry up and attack us, and maybe the next offensive will be very fierce. Where is our line of defense out there now? ”

"We're close to that corner of the ramp. It is estimated that they will continue to attack there. Walker said.

I nodded, "I think so too." They're in a hurry, and I think we should have those who aren't seriously injured ready to fight. ”

"Yes. I'll arrange for someone to go right away. Walker said as he went to find someone.

I grabbed him and said, "No. I let the oil bottle go, and he went better than us. ”

Walker glanced at the resting oil bottle and then at me and smiled knowingly, "But you'd better tell him that he can't touch that woman, I think you understand." ”

"I know." I looked at the oil bottle and said, "Go and ask your good looks, how many of the wounded can shoot." ”

As soon as the oil bottle was far away, there was a roar and a strong vibration from the ground. It seems that the secret passage has been blasted, and it may not be. I looked at Walker and continued, "Did you get in touch with Pablo?" ”

"Contacted. Pablo said that they were fighting fiercely with the guerrillas, that the guerrillas were losing a lot, that he told us to hold on, and that he would be back soon. Walker said calmly.

I was depressed by Pablo's unnutritious words, and said in an airy voice: "Bullshit! It's all clichΓ©s. The ghost believed what he said, maybe he was the one who suffered the most losses, and at this moment the guerrillas were storming him. ”

"Don't worry, gypsy." Walker patted me on the shoulder and said, "I've checked with Carl. The guerrillas' losses were indeed not small, but the guerrillas held the line of Pablo's retreat, and if they were not penetrated, then Pablo would have to make a big circle, and there was a high probability that the guerrillas would be harassed on the way, so Karl also asked us to hold on here. ”

Hearing Walker say this, I let out a long sigh of helplessness, "Okay." That's all there is to it. This kind of stubborn waiting for help is really torturous. ”

"Let's go get something to eat. At night it is estimated that the partisans will not make us feel better. Walker said as he turned to the door, "I'll go out and have a look." ”

The guerrillas did not continue their attack at night, as we had expected, but while I was eating, they began a new assault, this time without mortars, without the sound of explosions, but with unusually dense and intense gunfire.

I immediately dropped my food, stood up, picked up my gun, and walked out of the room that had been our dining room to the hall of the big house.

"Drag the oil bottle!" I saw that the oil bottle was talking to his good friend on the stairs, and I shouted. When the oil bottle saw me calling him, he quickly said a few words to the friendly person and ran towards me.

"Come out with me. The guerrillas are going to fight hard this time. With that, I walked out into the courtyard.

At the moment, the courtyard was very calm, and there were people in ambush on the inside of the courtyard walls on both sides of the gate, and there were some tables, chairs, benches, and sandbags placed beside them to raise them, so that they could climb the wall and shoot out when the other party attacked the road outside the gate.

I came to the gate and looked out, and the place where the fighting was raging was at the corner of the road that led to the outside of the gate. The two fortifications there were fighting back. Walker was on the road outside the gate and was hurrying to set up a circle of guards at the gate.

The defensive ring outside the gate was divided into two sides, and on each side of the road were two makeshift fortifications, each of which contained two or three people. As soon as the opponent captures the corner of the road and tries to continue in the direction of the gate, the slightest miss will be hit from two or even three directions, and don't forget, there are manpower and fire points on the tower in the courtyard wall and in the courtyard, and their vision and firing angle are better than these fortifications.

Just as I was about to walk towards Walker and ask him what he needed me to do, the fortification around the corner exploded, presumably hit by an RPG. I subconsciously crouched down, and Walker walked towards the gate while urging the men of the other fortification around the corner to retreat.

"! The guerrillas are dead. This is simply advancing with human life! Walker cursed as he walked into the yard. As soon as he finished speaking, the guerrillas had already captured the fortifications around the corner and tried to move on, when immediately the fortifications outside the gate began to fire.

The guerrillas did not stop because they were again met by the defense, but quickly rushed out of the corner and spread out in formation, the front of them firing from the spot, while the rear ones continued to attack forward.

Inside the courtyard walls, the first to start firing was the machine guns on the towers. Under the blow of numerous firepower, the first partisans who broke out of the corner suffered heavy losses, and were killed and wounded in an instant. Walker entered the gate and stopped the people who were lying in ambush on both sides of the wall and were trying to climb the wall to fight.

This is because the offensive after the opponent seized the corner seems to be ferocious, but in fact it will not do much. Most of the time it was a tentative attack, wondering what we would do later, and then making targeted arrangements.

Sure enough, the guerrillas began to retreat a moment later and quickly retreated around the corner. Walker came into the courtyard and looked at me and said, "How many guerrillas are there?" Such a style of play does not say that we hold for three days, but can they insist on attacking for three days with such a style of play? ”

I shook my head, "They must have planned it." I think there will be a fierce battle tonight, and by night it will greatly weaken our terrain advantage. If we're not careful, we're likely to quickly lose the area outside the door, or even the entire courtyard wall. ”

Walker was about to speak when a shouting came from outside. This voice sounded familiar to the same person who had shouted to us in the morning, but it was much closer to us at the moment.

The oil bottle was very conscious at the moment, and stood beside me and began to translate for me, "Good evening, everyone! You should remember my voice. Right! I was the one who called you in the morning. I don't know what you're thinking about. Ready to lay down your arms and surrender? But I don't think you thought it through. I don't know what you're relying on, you bombed our mortars very unkindly in the morning, do you think you can hold without them? You've just lost this place, and in the middle of the day, we've hit your gate from below. How long do you think you can hold this gate and this wall? How many of you are left? You may think that we have been killed and wounded more by you, but don't forget, we have more people than you, and we can afford these costs, so what about you? Does the situation of isolation need to be repeated? As long as you are willing to surrender, we guarantee that those who surrender will have a chance to live, and we will let them out of here after we have captured it. But if he is caught by us, then he will only end up in a dead end, after all, our people cannot die in vain, someone must pay the price. Think about it, time is running out, and I advise you to cherish the opportunity. ”

I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I heard this man's shout, "And a very unfriendly mortar bombing? This person's shouting reminds me of the little devil in the Anti-Japanese War drama. ”

My words made the oil bottle smile too. I looked at Walker and said, "I still want to ask Mr. Butler to stabilize people's hearts." Tonight is crucial, they should be demoralizing and then onslaught. I think they'll be attacking frantically after dark, hoping that we'll be able to hold the gate and the wall, so that what the man said will be taken as a joke and boost the morale of the people who are guarding this place. ”

Walker nodded and said, "Tonight you are in charge of the defense on the left side of the gate, and I am in charge of the right side." Hopefully we'll be able to withstand this night. ”

"Call all the people who came back alive with us, and those who are wounded but able to fight." As I looked at the darkening sky and the people around me who were ready to fight, I suddenly felt that it would be difficult for us to hold this place tonight.
