165. Hard-hearted

This thought only turned in Zhao Li's heart, but he didn't say it to anyone. Speaking out at this time will definitely shake the morale of the army.

James, will you let me down? Putting down the binoculars, Zhao Li asked himself a few words in his heart. Could it be that Kang Hongyuan's view of people will also be wrong?

Boom, in the dense forest, I don't know where there was an explosion, and from Zhao Li's point of view, he could only see a column of smoke rising somewhere.

"Hmph, there are snipers who want to set up a sniper position in that place, and they have struck a mine!" Sanders' voice came from the side, smiling.

No need to ask, this must have been laid out by Sanders. This guy, in order to be able to effectively deal with the rebel snipers, especially patrolled the dense forest within the range of the fire, and set up small traps in all the places where snipers might be established. At least until the rebels react, they can effectively kill and injure a few of their already small number of snipers.

Before the words fell, another explosion was heard in the other direction. Sanders proudly raised two fingers: "The second!" ”

As soon as the rebels arrived, they were attacked by two explosions, and the soldiers in front of them, who had been trained like frightened birds by Zhao Li's harassment, immediately began to panic again. Originally, traps would be arranged one by one on the road, but this was the position that Zhao Li and they had spent more than ten days arranging, wouldn't it be more ambushes.

Seeing that morale was about to suffer a further blow, the commander of the rebels also found a problem: "Order, four battalions to make a charge!" Three battalions and five battalions of artillery support! ”

Boom, boom, continuous explosions appeared overhead, and a burst of rubble fell. The enemy actually carried a single artillery cannon, although Zhao Li knew about these for a long time, but he didn't expect the enemy to use it as soon as he came up, didn't he expose the target? Zhao Li smiled very happily. Li Mengdie's more than ten days of hard work was not in vain, this kind of individual artillery, the power is impossible to cause damage to the soldiers under the cover of the position.

The energy left of the two small laser cannons is not much, but it is enough to fire more than a dozen rounds each. Of course, this kind of goal cannot be easily let go. Li Mengdie and Sanders one by one, almost at the speed of roll call, destroyed the individual guns that exposed their fire positions one by one.

"Where did the political axe get its artillery?" A series of blows made the colonel commander extremely angry. The artillery of the two battalions of the third and fifth battalions, after several condescending attacks from the opposing side, did not have a single one left. What else is going on in this battle, there has been such a major mistake in military intelligence, those guys in charge of intelligence gathering really damn it.

The commander only learned what was going on in front of him after the Black Dragon Society's assault was over. Hearing the news of the Black Dragon Society's feathers, the commander hated to shoot the few guys in charge of the Black Dragon Society on the spot. Reckless actions, not to mention the loss of elite manpower, even intelligence work is so lagging behind.

After receiving the recent performance of the political axe army from the Black Dragon Society, the colonel commander began to officially regard this political axe army of less than 200 people as a fierce opponent. If nothing else, more than 1,000 people in the Black Prison were wiped out, and the Black Dragon Society did its best, but none of them came back, and more than 100 people were lost even with the covering manpower, plus the special soldiers sent by himself in front were also eliminated, and the commander had to admit that this was a strong enemy.

If he had known that the Political Axe Army was so strong in the Golden Five Star Region, the commander would not have made such an arrangement. It's just that now the arrow is on the bow and has to be sent. If you turn around at this moment, the morale that is already low will definitely plummet. Moreover, the political axe army has rich experience in jungle warfare, and it is almost impossible to resist their harassment within ten days.

As soon as he thought of this, the commander couldn't wait to crush the bones of several high-ranking members of the Black Dragon Society, who had already taken root here. Let them come here to gather intelligence and raise funds, but they are not so incompetent. It's not for them to come here to grab credit. It's good now, the other side still has artillery, how should this battle be fought?

Despite the commander's own chagrin, the morale could not be boosted, and the attack must not be stopped because of a simple artillery setback. The fourth battalion still had to carry out an attack symbolizing the surname, first, to test the opponent's firepower, and secondly, to make an attitude. In addition, if the charge fails, it can also stir up the blood of the soldiers. It's one thing to be constantly disturbed and not being able to hit the enemy, and it's another thing to be attacked by an enemy face to face.

Artillery support is of little use at this time, there is no large-caliber artillery, and those individual mortars alone cannot threaten the political axe army, so the most effective is to attack with superior forces.

The mountain pass is not big, but it is enough to spread the strength of a battalion in front of it, looking at the other party's troops according to the battle formation, Zhao Li turned his face to Li Mengdie's side, and smiled: "Major Li, don't tell me that there is no arrangement there." ”

In front of the soldiers, Li Mengdie still maintained a cold face, staring coldly at the rebel soldiers below, watching them walk into the area.

"Here you go!" Li Mengdie handed over a remote control device: "This is the controller of the explosion point below, and now they have entered the entire area." The reason why she gave this to Zhao Li was that Li Mengdie saw Sanders looking at her over there.

After taking over the remote control device, Zhao Li's heart was filled with a trace of unbearability. As long as you press the button of this remote control, those people below will fly into the sky. This is the surname of hundreds of people in a battalion, even if they are enemies, they are also a living surname, which will also make Zhao Li's heart soft.

It's one thing to kill one by one with a gun, but such a direct bombardment is the life of hundreds of people at a time, and that's another thing entirely. To put it mildly, it can be called a massacre.

However, if the enemy does not die, it is his own people who die, Zhao Li looked at Li Mengdie, and then looked at the soldiers around him who were nervously waiting for the battle to start, and finally relentlessly and pressed the red button in the center heavily. At the same time, it seems that some bloody switch in the heart is also turned on at the same time.

Boom, boom, boom, even and violent explosion, completely enveloping the unprecedented front of the entire position, the rubble shrapnel flew wildly, and the shattered human body of the explosion appeared in the air from time to time, and the entire area seemed to be turned into a sea of blood slaughterhouse in an instant. Screams and explosions rang out, and the ground seemed to turn into a pattern of red and black for a moment. From time to time, there would be the painful moans of the surviving warriors.

Seeing the tragic situation in front of him, the commander of the rebel army was stunned: "Three battalions and five battalions, immediately launch a charge from both sides, notify the Black Dragon Society, and immediately cooperate with the attack, I want to see how big a battle line these two hundred people can hold!" ”

Without the commander's encouragement, the rebel soldiers were also red-eyed by the scene in front of them. Although it was not a battalion, it was also a comrade-in-arms who had been with each other for several months, and was blown up like this by an explosion, and when he heard the commander's order to charge, he immediately rushed forward with his weapon in his hand.

Thankfully, the soldiers of the fourth battalion were quite experienced, and when they heard the explosion, they quickly climbed down, but there were still about a third of the soldiers, and after the explosion, they still charged forward. Coupled with the three battalions and five battalions that followed behind, the scale of almost thousands of people spread the entire position to the brim.

In front of every soldier, there are a large number of enemies, compared to the soldiers of the political axe army before and after the separate defense, less than a hundred people face the attack of thousands of people, and the psychological pressure is not ordinary. And at this time, the soldiers on guard behind came with the news that the black dragon would almost pour out and pounce on the position.

"Major Li, you go and guard the back!" Zhao Li called Li Mengdie and solemnly told her: "If, if you really can't hold it, retreat to the No. 2 position and give them the front." Li Mengdie nodded, this is not the time to hesitate, the Black Dragon Society's attack position also needs someone to sit down, agreed, and rushed to the back.

The automatic machine gun had already begun to roar, and the charging enemy was so naked that it was exposed to the range of the machine gun, and he fell down in one piece. However, what worries Zhao Li is that because of the charge of the Black Dragon Society yesterday, the ammunition reserve of the automatic machine gun is not very large, and it is estimated that it will not last for a few minutes before it will be exhausted.

Despite this, the power of automatic machine guns is terrifying. The brigade of men and horses, under the cross-fire of several machine guns, the one or two hundred people in front of them were like ripe rice, and they were directly swept to the ground. The rebel fighters behind also cleverly lay on the ground and began to look for cover.

Having taken advantage of the high ground, the enemy had little complete cover, and in a matter of minutes, almost one or two hundred more fell under the fire of machine guns. It's just that there are not many bullets in the machine guns, two of them have already run out of bullets, and the sound of strafing immediately weakens.

The rebels, who were crushed to death, finally waited for a good opportunity for the brigade to charge, and when they heard the machine gun fire slowing down slightly, they jumped up quickly and rushed forward.

"Hit!" Zhao Li gave an order, and all the fighters began to fire. There was a clatter, and the sound of strafing rang out. The formation of the enemy's charge, several large openings immediately appeared. However, in just a moment, the rebels behind filled the hole and rushed up frantically.

At this time, Zhao Li didn't know how to thank Sanders. The firearms expert's training of all the soldiers over the past few months has almost improved the soldiers' shooting skills by two steps. I don't dare to say that all of them are sharpshooters, but at such a close distance, such a big target, it is not a myth that the gun is to the flesh.

In front of the position, bullets flew everywhere, and because of the cover of fortifications, enemy bullets were rarely able to penetrate specially constructed shooting holes and injure soldiers. However, with this level of intensive shooting, there is no shortage of bullets hitting the target.

Dangdangdang, the strafing mouth in front of Zhao Li rang out, and it was the sound of the enemy's bullets hitting the surroundings. Zhao Li, who was strafing, suddenly heard a snort not far from the side, and someone was injured.

"Medic!" Immediately someone shouted. Sure enough, as Zhao Li expected. Hearing this voice, Zhao Li's heart trembled, but he no longer had that feeling of self-blame, only the gun in his hand shot more fiercely. It seems that when he just pressed the bomb button and sent hundreds of people to the sky, Zhao Li no longer had the weakness that originated from his student days in his heart, and he had grown into a qualified fighter. This is the battlefield, weakness can only kill oneself and one's own people, on the battlefield, there is no mercy, no kindness, only concentrated killing.

Even Zhao Li himself didn't realize that at this moment, he had the iron heart of a warrior, how ruthless he was in the face of the enemy, Zhao Li's skills were trained by a bunch of perverts in a special prison, and with Sanders's training for several months, Zhao Li had become Sanders's second, even if there was a slight gap, it was not much different.

On the opposite side, Zhao Li almost didn't use a second shot, and every shot was able to hit a position that the enemy's standard body armor could not protect, and with every shot, an enemy fell. When Zhao Li finished shooting a shuttle of bullets and was changing the bullets behind the bunker, there were at least twenty corpses lying directly opposite his shooting hole.

"Seven!" Sanders' excited voice came from there, followed by a dull shot from a sniper rifle: "Eight! Seeing Zhao Li stretch out his hand and throw out a grenade, he opened his mouth and smiled at him: "Zhao Li, how many of you are there?" ”

"More than twenty, several times as many as you!" Zhao Li shouted very proudly, and then stretched the gun out of the shooting hole and continued to shoot.

"Damn, I'm all snipers hiding here." Sanders screamed strangely, seemingly disagreeing with Zhao Li's algorithm several times. As soon as the words fell, there was an explosion in the distance, and Sanders said "yes": "Nine." ”

"Medic, medic, fuck fast, it's almost impossible to hold up here!" From time to time, there would be a shout from the soldiers, there was originally only one medical soldier, and he was busy at the moment, but he didn't say a word, and without complaint, he properly placed the wounded around him, and quickly ran to the side where the sound came.

"How many casualties?" The Colonel Commander calmly watched the battlefield in front of him from the rear.

"Sir, it is estimated that there are almost six hundred people, and it is still increasing." The adjutant replied, he also estimated, and there was no accurate number: "Such a strong attack, the casualties are too great." ”

"What about the enemy?" The commander didn't seem to feel anything about the death of his soldiers, and just asked about the numbers opposite.

"Judging by the density of the shooting, they estimated that there were more than twenty casualties and less than thirty people." The adjutant dutifully answered the chief's question.

"Twenty to one casualty ratio." The chief deliberated on this ratio in his mouth, looked at the battlefield in the distance, and suddenly said an irrelevant word: "I heard that the commander on the other side is only in his twenties, with the rank of lieutenant, but he has a nickname that is very loud in Jin Wuxing, called Zhao Maniac." ”

The adjutant didn't know what the chief meant by this, and listened quietly. The colonel paused for a moment and suddenly asked the adjutant: "You say, if you were a madman Zhao, how would you arrange it to block our army?" ”

"Don't tell me to fight hard, they can't fight us." The adjutant was about to answer, when the colonel reminded him.

166. Side attacks

"Perhaps, they just shook a shot, took a form, and then avoided it, so that it would be easy to explain to them!" The adjutant thought carefully and said a possibility.

"Just to explain, there is no need to attack us with harassment tactics more than ten days in advance." The colonel commander pointed to the battlefield in front of him: "With the explosion just now, a team of two hundred people wiped out almost the same number of my people, no matter what, it is also said in the past." ”

"It is estimated that they are afraid that they will not have casualties, and then deliberately add some traces of battlefield fighting." The adjutant preconceived that he was thinking in the right direction, so he kept thinking in this direction.

"If that's the case, that young commander will be called Zhao Madman?" Although the colonel commander couldn't refute the adjutant's words for the time being, he took Zhao Li's nickname and said something: "It is said that that guy, alone, rushed into the gathering place of more than 600 people of the Black Prison Mercenary Group, and broke the limbs of more than 300 people with only a police cane. Do you think such a person would do that? ”

"I don't know." The adjutant shook his head, he was only making suggestions, as for how to think about it, that was the colonel's business.

"Bring the detailed topographic map of the surroundings, ask the guys of the Black Dragon Society to come over, I want the most detailed information, including the original landform here when the edge planet is developed." The colonel commander gave the order: "Be quick, I hope to see this within ten minutes." ”

"Yes, sir!" The adjutant said yes loudly and trotted to complete the task. The commander who had given the order stood in place, his gaze, very rarely, not fixed on the battlefield, but turned to the other side.

At this time, the battle situation has undergone some subtle changes. Zhao Li's condescending attack was no longer as effective as it had just now. And the rebel fighters are advancing little by little.

The fundamental reason is that there are too many dead bodies in front, and the rebel soldiers in the back, braving the rain of bullets, can only hide behind the corpses of their comrades. Then, the organic spirit people found that the bodies of their comrades, wearing standard body armor, were able to block the fire of the political axe army.

"On top of the corpse!" The commander of the three battalions in front of him was heartbroken when he saw the loss of his fighters. After discovering this trick, he no longer cared about the affection of his comrades-in-arms and whether it was blasphemy to use the corpses of his comrades-in-arms in this way, and directly ordered everyone to carry the corpse of a comrade-in-arms in front of him and slowly move forward. After that, everyone else did the same and began to do the same.

As a result, the Federalist Warrior's shot was no longer able to accurately and effectively hit the enemy's lethal parts. And the weight of a corpse is not a difficult thing for those soldiers who have also practiced military exercises. The role of gunfire is greatly limited.

"Grenade!" Zhao Li looked at this situation, his marksmanship was good, and he could always hit the enemy in some gaps, but the soldiers did not have such strong marksmanship, and wasted bullets in vain. The enemy is getting closer, but grenades are the most effective.

Dozens of grenades fell into the crowd of enemies with white smoke, and after Sanders's special training, when everyone threw the grenades, they waited for the grenade lead to burn in their hands for two seconds before throwing it. A grenade, almost all of which exploded in the air, dozens of grenades, directly turned the place more than ten meters in front of the position into another Shura field.

A simple grenade attack broke the crisis of the enemy's approaching position, killing and wounding dozens of people, but the enemy behind still cautiously rushed up against the corpses of his comrades. At this time, no one said anything to their behavior, and although it seemed very inhumane to block bullets against the corpses of their comrades, this was the best way to do it in this kind of terrain. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to approach the position so closely.

"Go ahead, order the second battalion, join the attack!" The colonel commander got the information he wanted and began to ponder on it, and at the same time issued an order to the adjutant: "Order the people of the Black Dragon Society, step up the attack, and don't give them the slightest chance to relax." ”

"Yes, sir!" The adjutant took the order and went to the communications group to issue orders. The Colonel Commander stared at the materials in deep thought.

This terrain, before the Rim began to be settled, was a volcanic area, surrounded by several silent volcanoes. The continuous mountain range in front of me has been caused by a violent earthquake in history, which has caused a fractured mountain and become a moat that stretches for thousands of kilometers and cannot be crossed.

The location chosen by the political axe army is the only gap in these thousands of kilometers. Soon after crossing the river, it was this gap. Zhao Li and the others laid out strong fortifications here to firmly seal the way.

If it continues to expand, the entire Golden Five Star region will be in a huge area created by volcanic activity. This strange topography attracted the attention of the colonel commander.

"Send this information back to headquarters immediately, and let them help calculate what the consequences will be if a large number of explosives are detonated here, here, and here?" The adjutant had already issued the order and walked back. The colonel pointed to several locations on the map and explained them to the adjutant one by one. Then, ignoring the adjutant's stunned expression, he urged anxiously: "Hurry up, go as fast as possible." ”

This time the adjutant did not dare to slack off, almost with the speed of a sprint. Picking up the data, he ran frantically towards the communications group.

"Intensify your attacks, don't give them a chance to breathe!" After the colonel commander finished ordering his adjutant, his eyes turned to the battlefield again. The corpses lying there were not his soldiers, but just numbers: "What about the snipers?" Are they all dead? Knock those people out for me one by one! ”

"Sir, the sniper is indeed dead!" A voice came from beside him, it was the colonel's guard, who had just heard the report, and before he could relay it to the colonel, he heard his clamour.

The colonel was speechless for a while, his eyes were fixed on the position of the political axe army that was still stubborn, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "If the political axe army is like these people, then there is no need to fight the war in the future!" Emotion is emotion, but the top and bottom don't want to let go of Zhao Li and his people: "Crazy Zhao, interesting, let me see, how crazy can you be?" ”

As the enemy became less and less concerned about the corpses of their comrades, Zhao Li's resistance became more and more difficult. The number of grenades brought out was limited, and several enemy attacks were repulsed in succession, leaving more than 200 corpses in front of the position, but still attacking. Moreover, what worried Zhao Li was that the enemy seemed to have added several hundred more people to the attack team, and the front of the position was in a precarious position.

There were already more casualties on the battlefield, and many fighters returned to the battle after hastily bandaging their wounds. And the enemy has begun to frantically rush up.

"Retreat, to the second platoon of the line of defense!" The enemy is already very close, and if you don't leave, you will have to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. Zhao Li didn't want his hundred and ten people to be overwhelmed by the enemy's soldiers, so he decisively gave the order to retreat.

Li Mengdie built four lines of defense here, and the other side was the same, all of which were at a distance, with an open field in the middle. This is also the reason why Li Mengdie couldn't reach it quickly when the Black Dragon Society attacked at that time.

In Zhao Li's hand, there was also a set of remote control devices handed over to him by Li Mengdie. On each line of defense, enough explosives were buried. As long as the enemy occupies it, it is bound to lose.

The soldiers supported the wounded and quickly evacuated from the prepared tunnel. Zhao Li took a few grenades, threw them a few times outside the position again, and then decisively followed the team and entered the tunnel.

Less than three minutes after the evacuation, it seemed that the enemy also understood, there was no one on the position in front of him, and dozens of people in front of him, cheering, directly pushed away the corpses of their comrades in front, and climbed into the position with all hands and feet.

"Be careful! Don't have too many people! When the battalion commander in the back saw it, he almost instinctively sensed the problem. The enemy can keep harassing tactics in the jungle, and it is strange that he can hand over his position so easily, and there is no arrangement!

However, his words were a little too late, and Zhao Li simply pressed the detonating button when he heard his reminder.

Boom, a loud explosion sent the entire line into the sky, along with the rebel soldiers who had just climbed in and were still elated to think that they had captured the positions of the political axe.

In the blink of an eye, the commander of the rebel army found that although he had broken through the first line of defense of the political axe army, it seemed that the previous situation had suddenly returned to before the first attack. In addition to the loss of some men on both sides, the rebels still had to face an open field and a condescending political axe sniper position.

Colonel Commander Tie blushed, looking at the first line of defense in that piece of fire, he could no longer hide the anger in his heart, and waved his hand: "Keep attacking!" I'll see how many of them can spend with us! ”

It's just that the two sides have been in contact so far, and in just half an hour, the rebels have lost more than 700 people, while the political axe army, in terms of the intensity of firepower, has probably lost 50 people. Such a casualty ratio was really unexpected.

"Sir, the enemy's firepower is very strong, and there are fortifications, our casualties are too great, if we attack again, we will ......" The adjutant reminded with some worry, and as soon as he said a word, he was interrupted by the colonel with a wave of his hand: "Why, if we don't attack, can we still expect them to take the initiative to abandon their positions?" ”

"However, in such a short period of time, is it a little inappropriate to pin your hopes on those people?" Although he knew that the commander was angry, it was sometimes the duty of the adjutant to remind the commander to pay attention, and the adjutant still said carefully: "It is not easy for our soldiers to be trained, and they are also raised by their fathers and mothers, so they can't be used as cannon fodder!" ”

"It's an opportunity, the best one for us for now. I'm afraid that they will find out, so I can only keep attacking, so that they have no time to think about possible surnames elsewhere. The colonel turned to the adjutant: "We don't have that many elite men anymore. The last loss was a mistake in my command, and we must not miss this opportunity. ”

When the chief said this, the adjutant didn't want to say anything, so he wisely closed his mouth. His eyes turned to the fierce battlefield over there, and he couldn't bear it for a while. A strong attack is simply to use human lives to fill the empty space before that section of the defensive line.

"Hold on for a few more minutes, and they should have arrived." The colonel seemed to be talking to himself, but he seemed to be explaining to the adjutant that he couldn't say clearly: "Just hold on a little longer." ”

Within the second line of defense, there is some firepower supplement. Li Mengdie moved almost the entire arsenal of the base to the position. The fighters entered the position, skillfully entered the firing position and began to sort out the ammunition.

Zhao Li counted, at the beginning of the team of almost a hundred people, at this time, there were only more than sixty people who could enter the attack position, and there were more than a dozen wounded. The corpses of the sacrificed comrades were too late to be carried up from the first line of defense, and they could only stay on that broken line of defense forever with those rebels.

Faced with such a scene, Zhao Li found that he didn't seem to feel anything. The battlefield is for the dead.

The enemy still pounced on him like a tidal wave. This time, the two automatic defense machine guns on the second line of defense began to roar. This is the only remaining automatic machine gun that is used to assist the second line of defense.

The automatic defense machine gun is a large-caliber machine gun, and ordinary standard body armor simply cannot withstand the attack of such bullets, and if it is hit, it is a big hole. These two machine guns alone contained the rebels' attack for almost ten minutes. The soldiers of the rebels, buried their bodies low, and no one dared to raise their heads and charge during this period.

After that, when the machine guns ran out of ammunition, the rebels again began an intensive charge. This time, those guys already have experience, and the body armor on the dead comrades is stripped off and blocked in front of them, and they can also block the attacks of most bullets, and compared to charging against the corpses of their comrades before, it is not to mention the effort, and there is no psychological burden.

Sanders' voice was always that loud: "Forty-one...... Forty-two...... "After clearing the snipers, Sanders began to roll call the charging soldiers one by one. He didn't care about the bullets fired by the enemy, and specifically looked for those who looked like commanders to attack. The commander of the fifth battalion was killed by him with one shot.

Suddenly, at the back of the position, there was a burst of gunfire. Zhao Li turned his head to look, but found a familiar figure with more than a dozen people, outflanking from the side and rear.

That guy was Quincy, the same Quincy under Sanders. At such a close distance, Zhao Li confirmed his judgment. Wasn't he in the rebel barracks? How did it come from behind?

However, soon Zhao Li thought of something. Quincy must have walked through here to find the rebels, and when he found Li Mengdie arranging, it is estimated that he quietly climbed over the mountain with ropes or other things not too far from here, and ran into the rebels. Then, this time, he climbed up from where he had passed before, and quietly circled to the back of the position, attacking back and forth.

"Sanders, kill them!" Zhao Li could only greet Sanders, dealing with these elites, he and Sanders were more sure, and the others would continue to resist the enemy in front of the position here.

In just such a moment, the soldiers were hit by the attack from behind, and several were killed. The flames in Zhao Li's heart rose up, and he rushed directly towards those figures.

"Crazy Zhao, I'll single you out!" Quincy's annoying voice came: "Last time you won by luck, this time I want you to take a closer look, whether you can do it, or I am strong!" ”

(To be continued)
