Chapter 131: Crossing the Line
Under a small, weathered dirt slope, an earthy yellow pickup truck suddenly stopped its wheels.
"Wall, Seth, you two sentry, let's rest here for a while, and we'll set off when they fight a little harder!"
Even though they were already two or three kilometers away from the battlefield, Lin Dong and the others could still clearly hear the continuous sound of artillery fire in the distance.
"How far are we from the line here?"
Ben asked, as he drank water, as he walked over to him.
At this time, they were all in the shadow of the back of the hill, and it was difficult for anyone to find it.
"It's not far away, a kilometer due west, is their defensive line, we need to wait until it's dark to find a way to get through, so it's easier to succeed."
Lin Dong spread out the map, pointed at it and said to Sophie and Ben.
"Of course, this is only the most ideal state, and it depends on the performance of our front-line troops, if they don't survive the defeat before dark, then we will suffer!"
Lin Dong shook his head with some emotion and said, "You see, their defense line is based on the village, monitoring the surrounding thousands of meters.
The terrain here happens to be a low plain, and there is an unobstructed view of the entire circle, which makes it very difficult for us to penetrate and cross. ”
While the three of them were discussing, this guy suddenly appeared next to the three of them and said, "Boss, there is no trace of enemy activity within a radius of 500 meters. ”
"Okay, be careful. We're going to walk forward after the break, and if we want to get through this line, we'll need to get up close. ”
After resting for about ten minutes, Lin Dong and the five of them gathered again, and then they had to rely on their legs to hurry.
With the help of the dry river that appeared from time to time along the way, and some cover such as boulders and dirt slopes, Lin Dong and the others came to a place less than three hundred meters away from the government defense line.
"There is a situation!"
Sophie, who was walking in the front, suddenly gave a warning, and then the five of them hid as fast as they could.
An armed force of Berians, about thirty men, with weapons of the predominantly AK series, looked more like a local armed force than a government army.
Lin Dong carefully looked at the team that suddenly appeared, the other party should be a patrol sent by the government army stationed in front of what seemed to be a village.
"It seems that they are not letting their guard down here because of the fighting on the front line, and they don't have anyone here to send support."
"I said that those front-line attack troops are too wasteful, after fighting for so long, they didn't even put any pressure on the opponent's defense line?"
Wall's complaints were not echoed by anyone else, and this kind of thing is well known.
"Seth, contact the command and ask them to increase their attack, otherwise we won't have a chance at all!"
Seth nodded, and began to contact Command, reporting their situation.
What Lin Dong didn't know was that IZO's squad was also experiencing the same problem, so they also asked to strengthen the attack, and Peter was standing in front of the commander-in-chief Younis at this time and reported the situation to him.
"General Younis, we need to intensify our attack, otherwise their actions will only end in failure, and then our battle will be meaningless!"
"We have already sent 5,000 mercenaries and 1,000 PLA soldiers, is it not okay to invest such a large number of troops?"
General Younis hesitated, after all, the real battlefield is not here, and if his soldiers suffer too many casualties, he will not be able to explain to the group of people in power in the committee.
As for those mercenaries, it doesn't matter, someone will pay for him anyway, and now that so many mercenaries are hired on the battlefield, where does all this money come from?
With this so-called commission alone, they don't even have money to buy weapons and equipment!
After thinking for a long time, General Younis decided: "Okay, I will send another 5,000 PLA soldiers to launch a fierce attack on Brega, but this time is only one hour, and I will order the attack to stop after an hour!" ”
Peter's face immediately turned overjoyed, and he said, "Yes, I will inform them and let them pass through the line within an hour!" ”
If you really send another 5,000 soldiers, then as long as you work harder, you may be able to achieve good results this time.
As a squadron leader of the Foreign Legion, it stands to reason that the incompleteness of these things has little to do with him.
The reason why he was so active was because the other squadron that came with him was preparing to participate in the battle of Misrata at this time, and if he could really capture Misrata, it would definitely be a great achievement.
What's more important is that this time will affect his future path, which is why he is so positive.
After Lin Dong and the others got the news from Major Peter, they directly found a hidden place to hide, and then they needed to see what the soldiers in this stronghold would do.
About half an hour later, the roar of a car alarmed Lin Dong and them.
"Boss, they're out!"
Lin Dong hurriedly came to the side of Wall in the realm, and saw through the telescope that cars were driving out of the stronghold.
Seven or eight of them had this heavy machine gun fixed on them, turning these pickup trucks into improvised assault vehicles.
One of the vehicles carried a 14.5 mm twin anti-aircraft machine gun, which could penetrate 20 mm thick homogeneous steel plates, and could annihilate low-altitude aircraft, dive aircraft, and airborne troops.
If you use it against the infantry, you can cut someone in two with a single shot!
There were twenty or thirty cars in total, almost two hundred people, plus the rest of the current stronghold, almost four hundred people.
Lin Dong and the five of them glanced at each other with some palpitations, and they were a little glad in their hearts, fortunately they didn't fight over, otherwise just the five of them, as long as they were covered by firepower, they would be able to beat them into flesh.
This is the absolute disadvantage of these mercenaries in front of the heavy firepower troops, no matter how strong you are, they will never be able to compete head-on with the real army in the form of a squad.
"The opportunity has come." Lin Dong said softly: "Let's wait for another twenty minutes, after twenty minutes we will quietly pass through the defense line, try not to fight, we don't know how much firepower is still in this stronghold now, so we must be careful!" ”
Lin Dong turned his head, looked at Sophie, who didn't say a word, and said, "Sophie, you are still leading the way, and if there is a situation, try to solve the battle silently!" ”
Of the five of them, Sophie's strength is the strongest, so it is most appropriate to have her in front of her.
