The grip of the vehicle-mounted machine gun shook Gu Jiu's palm, and he clenched his teeth tightly, trying to tilt the bullet towards the corner of the house with the fastest rate of fire. About a dozen Crescent Brigade soldiers, with machine guns set up there, opened heavy fire on this side.

Two Crescent Brigade soldiers rushed over from the side, holding an AK and aiming at Gu Jiu, who was half exposed, and was about to pull the trigger. Ricardo had been keeping an eye on this, and shot and killed the two Crescent Brigade soldiers who had suddenly burst out.

Just as there was the sound of an aerial firing from the bolt, Ricardo shouted to change the magazine, leaned on the side skirts of the infantry chariot, and quickly took out a new magazine and replaced it.

Gu Jiu turned the muzzle of the gun to cover Ricardo's change magazine.

At this time, an enemy carrying an RPG rushed out from their right side, aiming at the infantry chariot where Gu Jiu was and about to fire. Ricardo had just changed to a new magazine, and hurriedly raised his gun to shoot. The soldier finally launched the RPG, but at the moment of launch, he was also hit by Ricardo, and the RPG lost its aim and flew high into the sky.

The rocket flew over Gu Jiu's head, startling Gu Jiu into a cold sweat. The side armor of the Type 09 eight-wheeled infantry vehicle is unable to withstand the attack of rockets, and if this shot is solid, the infantry tank will definitely be seriously injured.

Gu Jiu didn't have time to be afraid, so he quickly replaced it with a new bullet chain and continued to suppress the fire of the enemies who were constantly swarming. Heavy machine guns are the fulcrum firepower of this kind of defensive operations, and generally speaking, a firepower network composed of two well-arranged heavy machine guns can support a battalion-level defensive position.

As far as defensive operations are concerned, the configuration of firepower is crucial. The commander should find out the direction of the enemy's attack at the first time, place the main firepower in that direction, and pay attention to the exchange of positions between the firepower, leaving room for replacement.

To put it bluntly, it is to arrange every gun in the most suitable place as much as possible to give full play to its firepower.

Especially in the current state of surprise attack, it will test the adaptability of commanders and troops. You can't say that the enemy is attacking by surprise and you immediately lose sight of which side to fire from, and you don't know where to shrink after the first line of defense has collapsed.

There is no doubt that those who can be drawn out to participate in peacekeeping are the elites of the 107th Regiment. The quality of officers and non-commissioned officers is not to be said. Li Fengxiang is a commander with rich experience in actual combat. From the beginning of the firefight until now, every decision he made was very correct, and the patrol showed not the slightest sign of panic.

As it was now, the patrol relied on two chariots and shrank in front of the two bungalows, with their backs to the bungalows for defense. This is the best response that a well-trained unit can make when it encounters an enemy situation.

The well-prepared Crescent Brigade, this offensive, dispatched the main force of more than 2,000 people.

It's more than two thousand, not thousands as judged by the patrol before!

All tanks and armored vehicles, as well as modified pickup trucks with heavy machine guns or recoilless guns, are almost all of the Crescent Brigade's mobile combat units.

And they seem to be very aware of the existence of the patrol, and the focus of the attack is not only on the oil field facilities, but also on the small village where the patrol is located, which has more than a dozen residential houses.

Almost a battalion of troops is taking turns attacking the patrol!

The individual military qualities of the Crescent Brigade are average, but their weapons and equipment are not worse than those of the government army, and they are even more fanatical, and have a chief of staff with rich experience, who is accustomed to using crowd tactics!

Another group of enemies rushed around the house.

Ricardo shouted to Gu Jiu: "Old Gu!

Gu Jiu turned around suddenly, turned the muzzle of the gun, and set fire to the corner of the house in the direction of three o'clock. Suddenly, another group of people came up from the direction that Gu Jiu suppressed just now, and several soldiers of the Crescent Brigade obviously knew that the biggest threat was heavy machine guns, and regardless of the rain of bullets, they concentrated their fire on Gu Jiu.

Ricardo was on the side of the infantry chariot, and this scene was clearly visible, he suddenly fired a long strafing shot, and moved in small steps towards the front of the infantry chariot, so that it was easy to suppress a larger range of enemies and share the firepower for Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu's afterglow was concerned about the situation over there, and when he saw the enemy in the corner of the wall at three o'clock in the direction of the heavy machine gun bullets flying flesh and blood, he hurriedly turned the muzzle of the gun back.

At this moment, a lone Crescent Brigade soldier suddenly appeared out of the window of the house, perhaps hiding in the house all along, and the AK rifle in his hand was aimed at the side of Ricardo, who was less than ten meters away, and pulled the trigger.

He was clearly a novice and would not let go when he pulled the trigger.

A volley of bullets went out, and most of them flew into the sky.

However, two bullets still hit Ricardo's body, and from the position of Ricardo's side ribs, which happened to be the part that the body armor could not cover.

Ricardo shuddered, subconsciously turned the muzzle of the gun and fired at the soldier, the bullet hit the soldier's chest, shattered his heart, and he simply fell to the ground and died.

Suddenly feeling a sharp pain, Ricardo found that his strength was passing rapidly, and then his eyes gradually blackened, his legs went limp, and finally he could not stand, and fell down against the side of the chariot, and smashed to the ground.

"Gto cover me!" Gu Jiu shouted, preparing to change the bullet chain again.

Without hearing a response, Gu Jiu subconsciously looked at Ricardo's position and saw Ricardo lying on the ground.

"Grotto!"

Gu Jiu yelled and jumped out of the car, pulled out his self-defense pistol, and slammed and killed an enemy who rushed over.

Hearing Gu Jiu's shout, several comrades-in-arms around him quickly surrounded him, covering Gu Jiu with firepower. Gu Jiu kept shouting loudly, "Medic! Medic!"

The three comrades-in-arms were half-kneeling on the periphery, covering Gu Jiu.

On the infantry chariot, a comrade-in-arms immediately took Gu Jiu's place to ensure that the heavy machine gun could continue to fire. After receiving approval, the commander controlled the 30mm cannon to fire at the T-72 that was constantly advancing in this direction! However, it was difficult for the 30mm cannon to penetrate the front armor of the T-72, even if it fired armor-piercing shells.

Gu Jiu helped Ricardo up, quickly checked his injuries, and found that the wound was under the ribs, while Ricardo was still breathing, his eyes were blurred, his breathing was very weak, and it was difficult to speak with his mouth open.

"Gato, Grotto, don't sleep, look at me, look at me! I'm Gu Jiu! It's okay, it's okay, the medical soldiers will be here soon, it's okay!" Gu Jiu continued to reassure him, his lips trembling, and his whole body trembled.

Lying in his arms was a comrade-in-arms from the same county, who had been in a platoon for more than half a year, and he was the one who got along better in peacetime. When his sister had an accident, he was the one who comforted him.

A minute ago, he was alive and heavy, calm and he Gu Jiu covered each other and fired at the enemy, and it was also him.

Now, he is the one who has no strength to lie in his arms and only has one breath left!

"Grotto!" Gu Jiu called, raising his neck and shouting desperately: "Medic!!medics"

The paramedic ran over with a first-aid kit on his back, "Get out of the way!"

A bullet flew and hit the medician's forehead, and his whole head was backwards and his feet were raised upwards, and he fell backwards, and there was no movement when he landed!

Gu Jiu crawled over and pulled the first-aid kit from the body of the medic soldier, his mind was full of trained battlefield first-aid movements, and he took out the bandage with trembling hands to bandage Ricardo's wounds.

"Grotto, I'll bandage you, bear with me, you'll be fine soon!"

Gu Jiu bandaged, tears fell uncontrollably, his hands were stained with more and more blood, and he trembled more and more.

The comrades-in-arms around him grabbed Gu Jiu, dragged him aside, and yelled: "He's dead!"

"No, let me go, I'll give him first aid. Gu Jiu struggled.

The comrade-in-arms slapped him in the face and roared: "He's dead! He's dead! He's dead!!"

Gu Jiu's eyes widened, and he looked at Ricardo, who was lying quietly on the ground, with the fierce gunfire in his ears, and the crisp sound of bullets constantly hitting the steel plate of the infantry chariot.

Ricardo is dead.
