The time before the attack was always long, and François got up at four o'clock, and then paced back and forth in his room, until the orderly, who had come to deliver breakfast, knocked on the door, and he seemed to come to his senses.

"Inform the squadron commanders to act according to the predetermined plan after breakfast!"

François did not organize his subordinates according to the firepower like Shepard, he took all the light and heavy firepower from the team and formed his own direct team, leaving only the light infantry to his subordinates, and these more than 300 people were divided into six squadrons by him.

One of them, two, three and four is composed of the French and some Germans, which is the elite of François, and the fifth and sixth are mercenaries from Belgium, the Netherlands, the Low Countries, Sweden, Finland and other countries, these mercenaries are brought by Eck, although everyone eats in a pot, but usually there are inevitably various conflicts, French whites discriminate against French blacks, and then everyone looks down on the colonists together, Northern Europe and Western Europe look down on each other, and then everyone looks down on the French together, it can only be said that there is no fight, It's already counted by His Majesty François.

Therefore, when these people are fighting, they must not be mixed, and they can only be allowed to act separately.

François's battle plan was divided into two phases, he named the high slopes on both sides of the valley with a drop of more than 100 meters as the No. 1 high slope and the No. 2 high slope respectively, and the first stage of the battle plan was to divide the troops to take these two places.

In the No. 1 and No. 2 slopes, the slopes of the No. 1 slopes are gentler and larger, coupled with a wide field of view, which is not only the focus of the defense, but also the first place for François to win.

He sent his best squadrons 1 and 2 to capture the 1st high slope, the 3rd and 4th squadrons as reserves, and then Eck's two squadrons were in charge of the 2nd high slope, because it was closer to the forest, but because the terrain was steeper, so the order that François gave him was not to die, but to get as close to the top of the slope as possible, and he would go and help take the 2nd high slope after taking the 1st high slope.

And in order to boost morale and motivate people, before starting the attack, François also asked people to carry a huge box out.

Then, with a kick, he knocked the box down, and the bills inside rolled out of the ground.

"This is 100,000 yuan, the first one to rush up the hill alive can be taken directly! Dead, everyone's pension, United Mining Package! ”

While François was giving lectures to his mercenary men, the black mercenaries brought by Sacralar were in the forest carefully eliminating the traps set by the Shadow Company before, which was their task, because it was too dangerous, François specially increased the salary of the black mercenaries, adding a thousand Congolese francs a day, that is, less than four dollars.

After excluding the outer traps, these black mercenaries who had not eaten breakfast had to be the first to rush to the Shadow Company's defensive position, François also offered a high price, and if he successfully rushed up, he could get 50,000 Congolese francs, which may be good for black mercenaries, but compared to the white people behind him, it seems to be so different, but Sack has nothing to do about it.

He remembered what Osaba had said, but he couldn't refuse François's order, he could only give orders to his subordinates to run back as long as the other side fired, after all, he couldn't afford to offend both sides.

After confirming that most of the traps had been lifted, Sack asked for a message to the rear, and soon more than a hundred mercenaries in green camouflage arrived in trucks, and behind the trucks, François's field guns were also towed.

The firing positions had already been dug up, the artillerymen unloaded the guns, and then pushed them into positions twenty meters apart, and then the artillerymen adjusted their attitude and calculated the data according to the data that had been measured long ago, and the mercenaries also dispersed into the forest in a straggler formation, and after meeting with the black mercenaries, the French officer led by the French officer immediately waved his arms.

Immediately, on the slope of the hill with a width of about three hundred meters, more than a hundred black mercenaries scattered back and forth, pulled left and right, and each person was about five or six meters apart, and launched a charge towards the hillside with their bodies lowered.

On the hillside, the PMCs of the Shadow Company seemed to be asleep, and did not react at all, and the black mercenaries lowered their bodies and rushed through six hundred meters, five hundred meters, until they were almost four hundred meters away from the defensive line, and then there was a sparse sound of gunfire.

The black mercenaries who rushed to the front immediately lowered their bodies again, trying to avoid the fire, but they soon realized that it seemed that the bullet was not hitting them, until someone inadvertently looked behind them, only to find that the friendly troops at the end of the line had fallen a lot, and at this moment, they woke up like a dream.

The black mercenaries who took the lead immediately turned around and ran in the direction they came, and they did not forget to take a hand when they passed the wounded, and soon they withdrew to the forest, and the French mercenaries who commanded the battle also scolded the wounded who were dragged back.

"In less than three minutes, eight were killed and seventeen were seriously wounded, how many snipers were there on the other side? Did any of you see where they are? ”

The answer was frustrating, they were down the hill, the bullets came from the top of the slope, the position of the sniper could not be seen at all, and the commander had to order Sak's men to rush again.

And this charge, the black mercenaries were not as brisk as the first time, everyone tried their best to distance themselves from others, lowered their bodies as much as possible, and even slowed down the pace of progress a lot.

This time, the sniper from the top of the hill began from a position of 600 meters, and the accurate shooters with the new six-fold optical sights were like shooting targets, condescendingly tilting their bullets towards the attackers.

However, after a dozen gunshots, the black mercenaries retreated again with a few wounded, and this time, the mercenaries under the hillside finally saw some movement.

"These Yankees, the guys are so nice, but ours guys are even better!"

After confirming the location of the sniper, the mercenary commander immediately picked up the map and marked it, and then used the walkie-talkie to transmit the message to the artillerymen who had been waiting outside the forest for a long time, who had a map in his hand, and after comparing the data, a middle-aged officer wearing glasses immediately loudly passed the coordinates of the shelling to each artillery.

After confirming the coordinates, the artillerymen immediately began to perform their duties and cooperate closely, the shells were stuffed into the chambers, and then there was a roar of rage.

Then there was a whistling sound, and immediately after, everyone saw a flash of fire and smoke rising in the distance.

Then the feedback from the front arrived quickly.

"It's more than a hundred meters away, and you're bombing those useless mines!"
