Chapter 670: Hesitation
As the minutes passed, Clark's mood gradually calmed down.
Why?
After the grenade attack, the enemies outside did not fire again, and all that remained was the screams of mercenaries and the crackling sound of items burning.
Which one is this?
Clark was still a little uneasy, but he also knew that panicking was useless.
In addition, it is not a bad thing that the enemy did not immediately attack him.
Why?
The mercenaries in the camp were dead, wounded, alive, and unwounded as frightened birds, and there was no way to organize themselves for battle.
If the enemy were to attack at this time, Clark would not even have the strength to fight back.
So, what's next?
Kill out, or wait?
Clark was a little hesitant, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
"Major, Major Clark!"
Hearing the words coming from the walkie-talkie, Clark suddenly came back to his senses, and it was the Legion Commander Leon who was hiding in the camp in the rear.
Apparently, Leon already knew that Clark's camp had been attacked.
In addition, prior to joining the Holy Cross, Clark was indeed a major officer in the South African Defence Force and had served in the army for more than a decade.
"Colonel, I'm Clark."
"What's going on?"
"We were attacked, and the enemy was right outside the camp."
"Da Da Da ......"
As he said this, Clark lifted the SCAR and swept it in the direction of the camp gate.
He didn't expect to be able to hit the enemy, but he was using this method to tell Leon that he was fighting the enemy and had not surrendered to the enemy yet.
Of course, this is also to let Leon know that the situation on his side is already very bad.
"Who is the enemy and how many are there?"
"It's not clear for the time being, but it is suspected that it is another mercenary force, numbering more than 100 people, and equipped with sniper rifles, grenade launchers, and maybe bazookas."
"You hold on, I'll send reinforcements right away."
"Understood!"
Reinforce!?
Clark couldn't help but smile wryly.
Lyons was the commander of the legion, but not South African, but French, having previously served in France's Foreign Legion before being expelled for violating military discipline.
As far as Clark knew, Leon was not only mercenary, but also timid as a mouse, or rather afraid of death.
Over the years, the Holy Cross has stalled, mainly because Lyon lacks motivation and does not want to clash with other mercenaries.
The question is, if you don't want to do things, then why be a mercenary?
At this time, gunshots were heard in the camp.
Presumably encouraged by Clark, the mercenaries in the camp went into action, some firing outside, others treating the wounded.
Most of them are hidden behind bunkers, though.
Why?
It was night, and the camp was burning everywhere, and the light of the fire interfered with the mercenaries' vision, making it impossible to see the outside of the camp at all.
On the other hand, enemies hiding outside the camp can see inside the camp.
Actually, Clark had already thought of it.
The enemy used more than 100 grenades, and used a large number of incendiary grenades, in fact, it was for arson, so that the mercenaries in the camp could not see the situation outside, and did not know how many enemies there were outside, so they did not dare to rashly launch a counterattack, so they could only hide inside the camp.
It's to deter mercenaries, not to eliminate them.
So, why trap the mercenaries?
There is only one possibility, there are not many enemies, there is no way to storm it, and reinforcements cannot arrive immediately, and the mercenaries in the camp cannot be released.
If you kill it at this time, you may be able to escape.
Thinking of this, Clark crawled back.
If there is hope for a breakthrough, then break through!
As for the reinforcements that Leon said, Clark didn't hold out the slightest hope.
Of course, in order to break through, you must first organize the personnel, find a few vehicles that can be used, and even more need to be deployed.
What deployment?
Let a group of mercenaries lure away the enemy outside, and then take the opportunity to break through.
After crawling for dozens of meters and leaving the open area of the doorway, Clark got up and gathered the nearby mercenaries.
A few minutes later, Clark got the task down.
At this point, Clark was no longer thinking about the matter of the legion, but about the life and death of the individual.
If you die here, there's nothing.
Only by escaping alive can there be a chance to make a comeback.
It was at this time that a roar was heard in the air.
From the north, over there in the pit.
It's a helicopter!
That's right, and helicopter gunships.
The Holy Cross is one of the few mercenaries in South Africa with helicopter gunships, but there are only 2 of them, and they are all obsolete Mi-24s.
Of course, in southern Africa, it is already very powerful.
Lyon fulfilled its promise and sent a helicopter, then the ground forces should not be far away.
Breakout?
Clark hesitated.
If they get reinforcements, they may be able to hold the camp, and even have the ability to destroy, or at least repel the enemy outside.
It's just that the opponent is the "Angu" company, or the elite!
Just as Clark was hesitating to break out, the helicopter had already flown over the camp, did not slow down, and was still flying south.
Perhaps, the pilots on the helicopters had already spotted the enemy outside the camp and were preparing to attack.
Clark didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately assigned a task to his squad leader.
Not a breakout, but a counterattack.
At this moment, two bright lights pierced the night sky and shot straight at the gunship.
Individual anti-aircraft missiles!
Clark was startled.
Apparently, the pilot of the helicopter was also taken aback, and immediately dropped the infrared jamming bomb, and at the same time turned to try to avoid the incoming missile.
It's a pity that it doesn't work at all.
The infrared jamming bombs did not have any effect, and the helicopter was so cumbersome that by the time of the turn, the two missiles were already approaching.
Hit by two missiles, the gunship immediately turned into a ball of fire.
Clark was dumbfounded, as were the other mercenaries in the camp.
A mercenary with individual anti-aircraft missiles, that's definitely very promising.
In addition, those two missiles were not interfered with, and they were certainly not cheap goods such as the SA-7, but necessarily some more advanced model.
There are only a handful of mercenaries in the world who can get advanced individual anti-aircraft missiles.
Of course, there must be a "Angu" company.
Why?
D&F has represented several individual anti-aircraft missiles, and they are selling very well, so the "Angu" company will definitely be able to obtain these missiles.
Can you still fight?
"Major!?"
was reminded by the captain next to him, and Clark came back to his senses suddenly.
Counterattack?
That's death.
It's just that you have to break through!
After the gunship is shot down, the ground reinforcements will definitely stop, so the only way out for Clark and them is to break through!
