Chapter 1: The First Battle: VI. Confrontation
Finally, the observation point informed in sign language that a group of mercenaries had appeared in the depths of the valley, numbering about twelve or thirteen. This group of mercenaries is not searching for advances, but moving forward quickly.
From the way the mercenaries marched, I knew that they were familiar with the terrain in this area. I also see the intentions of these mercenaries. They knew that this hillside was the last natural barrier to the tribe, and they understood that as long as they occupied this hillside, they would open the door to the tribe. They also knew that there was no way to deploy troops in this valley, so they would use a trapezoidal force attack. Let the first squad advance at high speed, and when these people approach the hillside, a group of people with heavy firepower will appear behind them, and make a long-range attack on the hillside first. At the same time, the mercenaries who had reached the vicinity were caught off guard by speed on the possible defenders of the hillside. Those with heavy firepower will be followed by more mercenaries who will suddenly exert their strength.
I couldn't help but secretly rejoice, but fortunately, I didn't have the face to move my position in time. If we had gone according to the original arrangement, we would have faced the mercenaries and the battle would have been very fierce.
It was then that I realized for the first time the threat of rain was great and the harm was profound. Fortunately, we put the final battle in an environment that Ruoyu didn't know, otherwise we wouldn't have fought this battle yet, and we might have been served a pot. I hope that Xiao Ni and Xiao Di can understand the stakes, take good care of Ruoyu, don't give her any opportunities to take advantage of, and don't let us fall short at the last moment.
Not surprisingly, soon the observation point was informed in sign language that a group of men with heavy firepower appeared in the depths of the valley, followed by more mercenaries. I use sign language to tell the observation point to hide yourself and not expose the target.
The mercenaries, who had already rushed to the bottom of the hillside, noticed that there was no movement on the hillside, and sped towards the top of the hillside. But as soon as they accelerated, our guns went off. The six of us who were guarding the position each found their target and began to block it. The mercenaries, apparently not expecting the attack to be carried out on the flank, panicked and fled back after dropping a few corpses.
A few moments later, the observation point informed that the mercenaries had been assembled and that they had split into two groups, one ready to attack the front of the hillside, and the other was moving close to the side of the valley to attack our current position.
Obviously, the mercenaries wanted to distract us and attract our firepower by attacking the group of people on the front of the hillside. Then another group of people actually appeared, and launched a quick attack on us from the flank. I know that the mercenaries have already heard from the gunfire we have just heard that we are not numerous. It's a good choice for them to take that attack. It can also be seen from this that the commanders of these mercenaries have rich combat experience and can make accurate judgments in such a short period of time and respond quickly. But the commander overlooked the fact that we were now on a higher slope than the frontal slope, and that the slope was steeper than the frontal slope. With such a terrain, a quick offensive was simply impossible.
As soon as the mercenaries attacking the front hillside rushed out, they immediately became our target. We took out half of them with a quick shot. And the group that was moving along the side of the valley emerged and became our moving target. We used two people to shoot the few remaining targets farther away. Since the area was bare, the mercenaries couldn't find any place to hide themselves, and when most of them fell, the only three or four people fled back with their heads in their hands. The fate of the other group of mercenaries who were preparing to attack from the flank was similar, and the first five or six people who rushed out were all knocked down by a single strafing shot. Then they pop up one head and fall the other, and pop up two heads and fall a pair.
Dense gunfire echoed through the valley and lasted for a long time. And then there was a deathly silence.
The observation point tells us that after the people retreated, they gathered on one side of the valley and someone was making a new arrangement. A moment later, the observation point told us that the people were collecting stones and didn't know what to do!
Soon, the mercenary's intention to collect the stones was revealed. Taking advantage of their numerical superiority, they threw large rocks from behind the cliffs and backpacks full of dirt. These backpacks and stones quickly continue forward, forming a small obstacle. I could see that the mercenaries were using this method to build a fortification that could be used directly against our position, and to cover their heavy weapons to attack after the fortifications. It seems that the commander of this mercenary has a very lively mind and can even think of such a solution.
The old man and the little cutter also saw the mercenary's intentions, and they approached me and told me their concerns. I know in my heart that the mercenary's method is a stupid one, but it does work. Once their fortifications are formed, their heavy weapons will leave us dead with no place to bury. I certainly can't let their wishful thinking succeed. I asked Xiao Shu and the old man to bring me a grenade each. The younger brother once introduced that it was the latest product of a weapons manufacturer, and its power was claimed to be no less than that of an infantry cannonball.
Xiao Xiao looked at me a little stunned and said, "What do you want to do?" ”
I said, "Fried fish!" ”
The old man said, "The distance from here to the corner of that cliff must be more than one hundred and fifty meters in a straight line. Even the throwing champion of the Olympics is impossible to do. ”
I smiled, "The real Olympics are the races of the gods on Mount Olympus, not the current mortal gatherings. I was in the race of the gods of Olympus. ”
I took a closer look at the cliff where the mercenary had begun to build up the fortifications, and threw a grenade. The grenade drew a beautiful curve in the air, and then landed accurately on the improvised fortifications, blowing up the unformed fortifications into a mess.
The old man and Xiao Xiao stared at me with wide eyes and disbelief. "It's impossible, it's incredible." It's simply not something that humans can do. ……”
With a single effort, the wound on my back collapsed. I immediately felt the wound on my back hurt in my heart and lungs. I gritted my teeth and grinned at Xiao Sha, smiling hard. "I didn't say it, I was a ...... in the Olympus Gods Race"
The old man noticed my abnormality and saw that blood was oozing from my back again, so he took out a first aid kit and asked me to take off my shirt and bandage me again.
Xiao Xiao looked at the place where he had just blown up, and suddenly shouted, "Oh no, the enemy has started attacking again!" ”
As soon as I looked up, I saw the mercenaries roaring out from behind the cliff.
