Chapter 2: Evacuation: VII. Fierce Fighting

The mercenaries who rushed out were divided into three groups, one of which was still rushing towards the front hillside, but this time these people did not rush straight to the top of the hill, but when they rushed to an angle where they could face our position, they suddenly threw down their backpacks and shot at us from behind their backpacks. Although we knocked out a few of these men as soon as they rushed out, there were still some who managed to complete the tactical moves. This style of play of these people was unexpected, which not only increased the difficulty of our shooting, but also interfered with our concentration. Their appearance disrupted our previous deployment. I immediately realized that these people were just bait, purely to disrupt our vision. But we couldn't turn a blind eye, because as soon as these people lay down, they started shooting at us.

When I realized that the greater danger would come from behind, the second and third teams of mercenaries had already been launched at the same time, and as soon as the second team of mercenaries appeared, they rushed towards our position without a life. They don't even have guns, and they don't care about bullets flying at them. These men immediately attracted our firepower, and although they soon fell down, they managed to cover the third group at the cost of their own bodies.

The third group of mercenaries was the most numerous, they were almost lined up, and the first thing they did when they rushed out was to throw down their backpacks and then step forward and shoot at us with their guns raised. Their purpose does not seem to be to protect their own lives, but to protect the backpack behind them. The men quickly fell, but the people who appeared next quickly put their knapsacks on the knapsacks or corpses of the people in front of them, or shot them in the back and threw themselves on them to increase the height and thickness of the knapsacks. Soon, a simple fortification consisting of a human flesh backpack was formed.

This method of warfare, which uses soldiers' lives as bait, has caused us to scramble at once. Although we have not yet fallen, two people have been shot in the arm or shoulder, and although they are not life-threatening, they can still grit their teeth and continue to shoot, but it has already affected our combat effectiveness.

The mercenaries behind the backpack had already formed a covering fire, and the third group of mercenaries, after dropping the backpack, no longer took cover on the spot, but quickly pounced on our position.

Just then, I heard a gunshot in the air. I glanced at the air in my busy schedule and saw seven or eight mercenaries with flying machines on their backs, appearing in the distance in a herringbone formation. This gunshot was a faceless long-range attack on the mercenary with the flying machine on his back. I saw a mercenary with a flying machine on his back fall headlong, apparently destroyed by a faceless shot. Then there was another gunshot, followed by a loud explosion. From this explosion, I could tell that it was a throwing high-explosive bomb. It seems that these mercenaries with flying machines on their backs are going to attack us from the air. I know that if two of these high-explosive bombs fall on our positions, all the people on our positions will be left with no bones. This faceless did not disappoint me, not only did he discover the mercenary's attempt, but he also accurately detonated a high-explosive bomb. The explosion of this high-explosive bomb in the air not only disrupted the formation of the mercenaries carrying the aircraft on their backs, but also caused the people on the side to be impacted by the power of the bomb and almost lost control. Immediately, the remaining mercenaries with flying machines on their backs turned around and flew back.

Just as the mercenaries began their aerial assault, their ground assault was also ready. As we scrambled to shoot at the moving targets, a few grenadiers, under the cover of a few mercenaries, entered the improvised fortifications made of mercenary corpses and backpacks.

Seeing that our bullets could no longer threaten these grenade men, I was anxious. I know that as soon as these grenades are fired, they will be no less powerful than the high-explosive bombs that have just exploded in the air. Ignoring the injuries on my back, I reached out and grabbed two grenades, gritted my teeth and threw them at the mercenary's improvised fortifications made of corpses and backpacks.

The grenade landed exactly behind the fortifications, blasting several gun-grenadiers and mercenaries apart from the bodies and backpacks of the improvised fortifications that had just been built.

Just as I leaned over and threw a grenade, a bullet hit me. I fell to the ground on my back. As I fell, I saw a man standing in front of me, angrily shooting with a gun. I know it's a small cut.

At this moment, I heard heavy gunfire from the observation point on the original position. I lay on the ground, not knowing what was going on over there, so that the people who remained at the observation point also had to pick up their guns and fight. But shortly after the gunfire rang out at the observation point, I heard a violent explosion. I know the observation point in the valley on front, which is within range of mercenary grenades and small artillery.

After the explosion, there was no movement from the observation point on the original position. I felt a chill in my heart, and I knew that the person who remained at the observation point was finished.

I struggled to my feet. Xiao Shu reached out a hand to help me, and I saw that his other hand had also been shot, and his entire sleeve was covered in blood. Presumably it was the injury I was injured when I was shielded with my body just now. I glanced at him gratefully. Xiao Xiao grinned and said nothing.

I was sitting on the ground, and by this time the battle was over. I looked over at the observation point on the original position, and saw that the area had been blown to the ground, and the observation point had vanished without a trace. And by my side, only the old man and Xiao Xiao were left, and the others had been shot and died.

The old man was not injured, and after he helped me bandage the wound, he helped Xiao Shau to bandage it. My injuries weren't very serious, and a bullet went through my shoulder. It's just a previous shot, and the bullet is still on the back, and it hurts when you move. In addition, the wound was opened again, and the two wounds were bleeding excessively, which made me feel a little prostration, and I couldn't slow down for a while.

The old man bandaged the wound and told me that thanks to the man at the observation point, he intervened at the critical moment. Otherwise, it would be everyone's corpses here now.

Only then did I realize that the man who remained at the observation point had exposed himself in order to save us, and had become the target of mercenary artillery fire.

The old man looked at me with a gloomy face and said, "This time the enemy's attack was repulsed, but what about the next time?" Now that there are only three of us left in the position, do we still have the ability to repel another enemy attack that may be even more frantic than the previous one? ”
