Walker and I led the men to retake the house on the side of the road leading to the church. The guerrillas did not put up much resistance here, they still wanted to use their advantage to defend us.

"What are you going to do? Just set it on fire or do you rush again? Walker asked.

I looked outside, and there were people in the houses on both sides of the road closest to us who were shooting from time to time. On both sides of the road, there were more people resisting. If you set fire to it directly, you might have killed the shooter himself before he could spew the fire.

"Attack again. Let the mortars bombard the houses on both sides. We mainly deal with these people on both sides of the road. Use the grenade launcher. I said.

Walker then ordered the mortars to adjust the angle of fire and begin shelling. Under the cover of artillery fire, we first fired heavily at the men on both sides of the road, and then Walker instructed the thirty or so of the Self-Defense Forces to start attacking.

When the guerrillas saw that we were advancing again, they immediately began to block the fire with all their might, regardless of the bullets that came in and the shells that fell from time to time. I immediately looked at Paro and Pinto, "We're ready to go!" After saying that, I looked at Walker, "Cover us!" ”

Walker led a barrage of fire at the desperately shooting. My own group immediately jumped out of the window and rushed straight to a small two-story building on the side of the street. At this moment, the mortar was already extending in the direction of the church, and just as we reached the outer wall of the house, gunfire rang out from the second floor. But the bullets were fired at Walker.

"Paro, give it a shot." I patted the grenade launcher that Paro was carrying.

Paro nodded, then picked up the grenade launcher and motioned for me. I then led the people into the house. It was pitch black inside, except for the occasional flickering fire on the second floor.

I immediately headed for the flickering light with Paro, and soon found that there was no staircase leading to the second floor, only a square entrance above, and it seemed that the way up was by a ladder erected at midnight, and that ladder should have been received upstairs by the guerrillas at this moment.

I pointed at the square entrance, and Paro immediately understood, raised the grenade launcher and fired a shot straight up. Before we could get far, the upstairs exploded. The consequences of the explosion were more serious than I thought, and the floor slab on the second floor was directly blown down. Fortunately, we were not hit by heavy objects.

Walker must have seen it being dismantled from the outside, and soon someone ran in to protect the shooter with the flamethrower on his back. I looked out of this house, and there were other buildings on the side of the street not far behind this house, and at this moment the guerrillas who had been captured by us were quickly adjusting their defensive positions, and someone had already run into the house in front of them. I immediately waved at the shooter and motioned for him to fire at the house opposite. The man immediately came to my side, motioned for me to step aside, lit the spout and shot a flame at the house opposite, then slightly recentrang and fired another shot.

The opposite house was quickly set on fire, and the fire began to spread at a rapid pace. The people inside the house were quickly forced out and evacuated to the other houses in the direction of the church. The withdrawal of these men immediately unbalanced the defensive front of the guerrillas, and the guerrillas in the houses on the other side of the street, under fierce attack, had to choose to retreat in the same way, and as soon as they retreated, Walker commanded the men to enter and set fire to the houses on that side. A moment later, Joao's side also lit up with a fire, and soon it became brighter and brighter. We didn't rush on the offensive, we just stayed where we were and watched the fire spread rapidly, occasionally attacking them with mortars and grenade launchers, or firing a few shots at the houses where the guerrillas were still hidden.

The guerrillas were obviously unprepared for our act of setting fire, and for a time they seemed helpless, neither launching a counteroffensive nor launching a large-scale rescue operation, as if they were watching the fire burn as we did.

"Don't be in a daze. Let people use all this gasoline, and let it burn everywhere it can be burned. Walker said to the SDF.

The ones nodded, twisted the gasoline, and quickly went away, and soon the whole town burned from our side to the east, and the light of the fire lit up the town and reflected the night sky red. Gradually, the gunfire became quieter, replaced by the whirring sound of the flames driving through the air and the crackling of burning houses.

Seeing that the fire was very fast, the guerrillas did not choose to put out the fire at the risk of being attacked by us. Instead, room by room shifted, step by step in the direction of the church. On our side, we are moving forward step by step with the spreading fire, of course, we have to do something to really add fuel to the fire along the way.

In the second half of the night, the fire had approached the church, but the fire never reached the church. I looked ahead, and by the light of the fire, I saw that the church was surrounded by a square clearing. The open space should normally have the role of a market, and there are still a lot of wooden pallet trucks and trailers parked on it at the moment. In the middle of the square is a large flower bed or fountain with a stone statue inside. In addition to these, there were simple defenses built by the guerrillas with sandbags, bricks, and stones.

"Compared to this town, this church is very magnificent." I withdrew my gaze to Walker Road.

Walker snorted without snorting, "I want to see the church in Europe." How long is South America so long? Let's think about how to get rid of the guerrillas. Now they're all concentrated near the church. ”

"You have a long history in North America? Isn't it about the same? I retorted.

"Huh. That's why I'm letting you go to Europe. That's right. Walker said nonchalantly.

At that moment, there was movement from behind. It was Karl who came up with his so-called reserves. He looked at the church not far away and said, "The reinforcements of the guerrillas are estimated to be in this vicinity at noon tomorrow." ”

"So fast?" Walker and I asked in unison.

Carl looked at us, "Of course. If the guerrillas lose this battle completely, the situation will be very unfavorable to them. Of course, there will be no destruction, but Pablo will take a lot of territory. It's easy to lose, but it's hard to regain it. ”

"So let's get the hang of it? Any plans? Walker asked.

Karl shook his head, "This area can only be attacked. What else can be done. First bombarded the square, and then cleaned up the square or drove them into the church. Finally, there is the siege of the church. ”

"How many more of them are there?" I asked.

Karl sighed and said, "In the previous and current battles, it is estimated that there are more than thirty people at most in all of them. However, those who can be sent here to stick to it should be ruthless characters, at least not the kind of people who give up easily. Like Walker said before, the wizard is likely to be here. ”

"That's just right. Didn't you always want to kill him? This is a rare opportunity. Walker began.

Carl nodded, "Chance is chance. But don't make it look like they're attacking Pablo Manor. We must take the whole town by noon tomorrow. Otherwise, we'll have to get out of here and make another plan. ”

"So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and start attacking. Walker began.

Karl looked at his watch, "Joao will be in place soon." With the first artillery bombardment against Guangchao. Then they attack from the east and northeast sides of the square, and you attack from here. These fifty men are now under your command, and the assault will begin in ten minutes. ”

Walker and I immediately began to develop a plan of attack. According to the terrain here, the number of people starting the attack should not be too large. It would be easy to cause a large number of casualties due to the overcrowding of people. Then it can only be a small group of attacks, and more people are responsible for covering. Send more people to follow after the other party can't support it. Walker and I decided to go with our two teams, with 10 men each on the offensive and the rest for Carl. It was up to them to carry out the cover shots.

As for armament, grenade launchers are definitely to be carried. Some of the remaining flamethrowers don't have to be brought with you at first. We plan to break through the perimeter defenses of the church and force all the opponents into the church before using it inside the church, as that would be more effective and reduce the risk of flamethrower shooters.

After deciding on the general plan, we each selected 10 people to fill the team. Just then, the mortar went off. Soon there was an explosion in the square.

"Everyone, get ready. After three minutes of shelling, the offensive began! Carl said.

Walker and I took our seats. I looked at the square that was red by the firelight, and unconsciously clenched the gun in my hand, a nervous feeling that I had not felt for a long time spread rapidly throughout my body, maybe this was our decisive battle with the wizard.
