Chapter 142: Fierce Battle in the Ambush
"Da Da Da!" The fierce and rapid gunfire tore apart the original dead silence of Raqqa Town, and the dense rain of bullets nailed Haoyi and the three of them to the back of the broken wall around the corner of the block.
"Bang bang bang!" Seeing that the broken wall in front of Hao Yi was about to be collapsed by a powerful spike shell, a rapid and heavy footsteps sounded from the direction of the road, and at the same time, a string of grenades crossed the heads of Hao Yi and the three of them, and roared towards the fire point in the ruins opposite.
"Boom!" Taking advantage of the smoke and dust from the grenade explosion to block the sight of those fire points, Haoyi jumped up from the ground suddenly, grabbed Hu Erpang who was trembling and lying on the ground, yelled "go", and dragged Hu Erpang to hurriedly escape from the low wall. Another high-ranking soldier, Abu, hesitated in a panic. When he came to his senses and just wanted to run backwards with Hao Yi's heels, an armor-piercing spike bullet violently tore the armor behind him, and a muffled sound came, and the poor superior soldier stumbled a few steps as if he had been hit hard in the back, and fell to the ground.
"How many enemies are there?" Haoyi dragged Hu Erpang and ran a few steps, and finally escaped from the death net, and collapsed softly in front of an abandoned café on the street, when Louie's anxious inquiry sounded in the headset. Hao Yi gasped and barely opened his eyes, and saw Louie and the rest of the brothers of the 12th Company rumbling over, shooting indiscriminately into the rubble across the street as they ran.
"No, I don't know! That, that's all! In the fierce and rapid screams of the spike gun, Haoyi swallowed his saliva and shook his head, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the government building and said intermittently to Louie.
"The rest of the three platoons occupy the building at one o'clock, the fourth platoon covers the fire, and the first platoon and the second platoon are ready to attack the government building!" Without the slightest hesitation, the experienced Louis turned back to the Marines around him and gave a series of orders.
"Follow me in the third row!" Although he had just escaped death, after hearing Louie's order, Hao Yi still struggled to get up from the ground, raised his arms to the Marines in the third platoon with a spike rifle, and then took the lead to rush to the T-junction again.
"Brother Hao, wait for me!" In the rapid shooting of more than 20 spike guns in four rows, Hu Erpang didn't care about his somewhat paralyzed body, gritted his teeth and struggled to get up, and hurriedly followed.
"Da Da Da!" Four rows of soldiers relied on bunkers on both sides of the street, desperately pouring bullets into the piles of rubble across the T-junction. Due to the narrowness of the streets, the troops could not be deployed, and the soldiers in the first and second platoons could only hide behind the fourth platoon with the company commander Louie, waiting for Haoyi's third platoon to seize the firepower point first.
Taking advantage of the gap between the rebels' firepower points being suppressed by the four platoons, Haoyi led the remaining 20 or so marines from the third platoon to rush to the building in the rain of bullets.
"In a group of three, the seventh squad will attack the left side, the eighth squad will attack the right wing, and the ninth squad will follow me, up!" After taking a few breaths to ease his breath, Hao Yi waved his hand to the team members and ordered loudly. The three platoons of marines who received the order freely formed into three-person combat teams and stormed the building. For a while, in this abandoned building, gunshots rang out chaotically, and occasionally the explosion of gun grenades and grenades was heard.
"Stop shooting!" Watching Hao Yi rush into the building with the three platoons from afar, Louie's heart rose to his throat again, and in order to prevent accidental injury, he hurriedly waved his hand and ordered the fourth platoon to stop fire cover, while waiting for Hao Yi's battle report with his ears pricked up.
The gunfire in the building continued for about three minutes before it gradually stopped, and the rebels in the direction of the government building probably felt that they could no longer stop the attack of the third platoon, and gradually stopped suppressing the fire.
"Haoyi, how's the situation?" There was no response from Haoyi in the communication channel, and Louis couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Report to the company commander, our platoon has occupied the entire building, killed a total of twelve rebels, our army has lost four killed and six wounded, and is continuing to search for enemy troops! Complete! Haoyi's concise report came from the headset, which made Louis breathe a sigh of relief.
"The four platoons shifted their positions, occupied the floor facing the government building in the direction of ten o'clock, and together with the third platoon, were responsible for suppressing the enemy with fire! Follow me in one row and two rows! Seeing that Haoyi's three platoons had occupied the commanding heights of the T-junction, Louis waved his hand and gave an order, leading one or two platoons of forty or fifty marines to quickly advance to the government building under the cover of various obstacles on the street.
"Platoon commander, look!" Hao Yi, who had just climbed to the top floor of the building on the corner of the street, was nervously watching the actions of Louis and the others at his feet, when suddenly the eighth squad leader pointed to the courtyard where the government building in front of him shouted.
Hearing this, Haoyi hurriedly looked in the direction of the eighth squad leader's finger, and was suddenly shocked when he saw it. It turned out that in the government compound, there were many figures of gray-and-white rebel marines swaying back and forth, and on the second floor of the building, there was also a cannon barrel that seemed to be some kind of small-caliber rapid-fire laser cannon, which was quietly sticking out of the window, pointing in the direction of the avenue where Louis and the others were.
"Quickly withdraw the company commander, the enemy has heavy firepower!" Seeing this, Haoyi hurriedly yelled at the call channel, and at this time, Louis and the others had already advanced to a distance of less than a hundred meters from the government building.
"What?" Company Commander Louis was stunned when he heard this, and was about to ask Haoyi again what the situation was, when a series of violent explosions suddenly sounded on both sides of the street, "Boom, boom, boom"! In an instant, fireballs roared into the air from the piles of ruins and debris on the street, and between the firelight, broken bricks and tiles mixed with broken arms and limbs, and pieces of flesh and blood flew in all directions, and there were Marines with broken arms and short legs, horizontal and vertical, and bloody flesh and blood everywhere. The sound of explosions and wails echoed over the town of Raqqa, and all the Marines of the 12th Company were stunned.
"Spread out, spread out, don't get together! We're in a ambush! A stream of blood splashed onto Louie's holographic helmet, and the visor suddenly became a dark red blur. Louie, who was awakened, immediately realized that he must have entered the minefield of the enemy army, and quickly wiped the blood from the front of the helmet mask, stood up desperately, and roared at the marines who were scurrying around.
"Bang bang bang!" At the same time, the rapid-fire cannon on the second floor of the government building began to spew yellow flames happily, and bundles of yellow laser cannons roared into the crowd of Marines, provoking a series of even more violent explosions. "Da Da Da!" The rebel marines, who were hiding in the corners of the government buildings, opened fire as if they had received an order, and the whole street burst into gunfire.
"Quick, fire cover! Kill those dogs for Lao Tzu! Seeing the brothers in the first and second rows being torn into piles of flesh and blood by the superior fire of the rebels, and listening to the painful wails of his comrades in the communication headset, Hao Yi's eyes were blood-red with anxiety, and he gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger, and shouted angrily at the members of the third platoon.
"Da Da Da!" The frantic firing of the brothers in the third and fourth platoons hiding in the two buildings finally gave the first and second platoons who were pinned to the street by the rebel fire a little breather.
"The company commander has been shot!" At this time, an exclamation from someone in the communication headset shocked all the surviving brothers of the 12th Company, and they almost stopped their movements in unison.
"Ahem, I'm fine! Three platoons of fire cover, four platoons rushed up, took over from the first and second platoons to continue the attack, remember not to stop! Hao Yi, the leader of the third platoon, will continue to command me! Come ......" As the heads of the Marines of the 12th Company went blank, Louie's familiar voice finally sounded again. It's just that this time, Louie's voice was weak and breathless, as if it would be cut off at any moment. It seemed that he had exhausted his strength, and after giving an order, Louie's voice stopped abruptly in the team's communication channel.
For a moment, the communication channel of the 12th Company was almost silent, except for the painful wails and groans of the wounded. The sudden death of the commander was undoubtedly a huge blow to a unit that was on the offensive.
"Are you all fucking stupid? Execute the command! After a moment of silence, Hao Yi, who was temporarily appointed by Louis as the company commander, roared angrily at the communication channel with red eyes, and finally woke up the marines who were a little dazed.
"The second platoon stayed in place to rescue the wounded, and organized fire cover with the remaining members of the first platoon! Four platoons rushed up and attacked the gate head-on! Three rows flanked and attacked from the left! Fast! Because he stood on a high place and had a more comprehensive view of the battlefield situation than Louie, Hao Yi slightly revised Louie's Zuihou order. Then, Hao Yi jumped up from the ground, held his rifle in one hand, and ordered in a deep voice to the three platoons of members gathered around him: "After the seventh and eighth classes are broken, the ninth class will follow me and cut off the dog's artillery for Lao Tzu!" ”
"Brother Hao, I'll lead the ninth class, you take the seventh and eighth classes after the break!" Seeing that Haoyi was going to personally lead the team to charge, Hu Erfat, who was originally timid, suddenly seemed to be a different person, and fought majestically.
"Less fucking bullshit!" Haoyi glared and roared, and then led the members of the ninth class to take the lead to the bottom floor. The avenue in front of the government building was full of wounded men from the first and second rows and reinforcements from the back, and there was no room for three rows. The only way to attack the government buildings from the flanks is to use grenades to make passages in the walls between these houses and approach them layer by layer.
"Da-da-da, boom-boom!" On that avenue, the Marines of the fourth platoon rushed to a distance of less than fifty meters from the gate, and were suppressed by the rebels' rapid-fire laser cannons and spike gun fire, and could no longer advance half a step, so they could only rely on the bunker to shoot at the rebels in the compound. And those fragile bunkers simply could not block the fire of rapid-fire laser cannons, and one after another the marines were blasted away by the laser cannon beams.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and between the fragments of masonry and stone, a large hole was blown open in the eastern corner of the compound wall. Before the smoke and dust completely dispersed, Haoyi led ten members of the ninth squad to rush into the building while the rebels had not yet reacted.
"Da Da Da!" As soon as he rushed into the building, the rifles in the hands of Hao Yi and the members of the ninth squad opened fire fiercely at the gray figures in all directions. The rebels were originally trying their best to deal with the fourth platoon of the land outside the main gate, but they didn't expect Haoyi and the others to break into the compound from the flank, and there was a big chaos.
"Rush up to the second floor and dismantle the dog's artillery!" With red eyes, Hao Yi brandished his rifle and yelled at the team members behind him, and then took the lead and rushed towards the position of the rapid-fire laser cannon on the second floor.
As the rest of the three platoons rushed into the compound one after another, gunfire erupted throughout the government building. A few minutes later, the remaining Marines of the 12th Company also rushed into the compound, and the gunfire gradually subsided.
