By the time the field guns fired, the PMCs on the high slopes had already screamed and burrowed into their protective bunkers, and thanks to the countless heavy machinery of the BHP, the PMCs had no shortage of places to hide.

It's just that everyone curled up and waited for the shells to land, only to find that the opponent's artillery had blown up more than 100 meters, and not a single shell landed on the hillside, but all of them fell on the soil accumulated in the camp because of the mining.

However, no one is happy, this round of smashing the opponent will inevitably be corrected, and for them who stay on the high slope to defend, the shells will only hit more and more accurately.

Soon several shells fell again in the second round, and this time the enemy's shelling, although still very biased, at least touched the edge of the defensive position.

Then in the third, fourth, and fifth rounds, more than a dozen 75mm high-explosive bombs fell in all directions in the defensive positions one after another, and before the smoke cleared, the mercenaries began to attack again, this time they charged directly from the northwest and northeast, in addition to the black mercenaries at the beginning, there were more than forty French mercenaries.

Compared with the chaotic formation of black mercenaries, the French mercenaries are quite organized, they are fewer in number, the queue is more open, and the movement is not like Uncle Black's hard rush, but constantly moving sideways, avoiding the incoming fire as much as possible.

The PMC stationed on the high slope is the two firepower squads of the Apple detachment of the Shadow Company, the number of people is only about twenty people, although the shelling just now did not cause any effective damage to the team, but it has destroyed a lot of fortifications, but when the mercenaries tried to clamp the two breads, the commander on the position calmed down.

"You're rushing at me like that? Who to look down on? ”

The commander didn't care at all about the black mercenaries with nearly 100 people, these guys would not cross the line of 400 meters, he cared about the French soldiers behind the other party, most of them were armed with FAL rifles and French-made MAT49 submachine guns, these mercenaries moved quickly, without dragging mud and water, in a few minutes, they approached the position of more than 400 meters without a single casualty, and at this time Uncle Hei had already begun to retreat, and nearly 100 people rushed up, They retreated again, leaving only the French still shooting at the PMCs.

Because of the blessing of accurate marksmen, the PMCs quickly gained the upper hand in the shooting, and several mercenaries who were much slower to move because of the guns were hit by the M14 and fell directly to the ground, while the other mercenaries continued to attack as if they didn't see it.

At this moment, the French were close to three hundred meters away, and the Apple commander on the position ordered all the staff to shoot freely, so the previous sparse gunfire instantly intensified, and then the accurate and lethal bullets instantly knocked down more than a dozen French mercenaries, which the black mercenaries had not encountered before, seeing that there was no hope of breakthrough, the French mercenaries could only reluctantly retreat back to fight, and the worst thing was that because they were too close to the Shadow Company's defensive position, they couldn't even take away a few living wounded.

Although Hannibal is not a master tactician, he also has solid basic skills, this siege is a siege that the Shadow Company must fight to the death, so he did not send everyone at hand at all, all the defensive areas are only half men, and the rest are waiting in the valley mines, ready to be reinforced at any time.

And the team stationed in the defense line did not disappoint him, with the advantage of equipment observation and terrain, not only the No. 1 high slope is as stable as Mount Tai, but even the No. 2 high slope on the south side of the river valley is the same, Ek's mercenary men were pressed by the snipers under the hillside and could not take a step forward at all, several people were taken off their heads, and as a last resort, this wave of attacks could only be stopped again.

At this point, François realized that even if his men could rush forward, they would definitely suffer heavy casualties, so he had no choice but to adjust his tactics and send the on-call modified trucks and the heavy firepower at hand.

The field artillery continued to fire, and there were not many shells, so this round of shelling still stopped after only a dozen rounds, and two unlucky eggs of the Apple detachment were hit by shrapnel, and the commander of the detachment could only quickly send people to send the wounded off the position, and then let the reserves take turns.

By the end of the shelling, three modified trucks with large-caliber machine guns mounted on their roofs appeared at the bottom of the hillside, as well as two modified open-top jeeps with mortars mounted on them.

After the reinforcements arrived, the mercenary commander immediately ordered the attack again, this time the black mercenaries were kicked out of the battle as spectators, the protagonists were more than 100 French mercenaries, they also used the method of attacking from both sides, but this time they had mortars and heavy machine guns as cover.

Hannibal also sent additional men up the hillside and asked them to bring M72 bazookas, which was one of the few anti-armor tactics of the Shadow Company.

As soon as the attack whistle sounded, the three trucks drove slowly up the hillside at an interval of more than 40 meters, it was the dry season in Africa, and the ground was much harder than the rainy season after being exposed to the sun, so there was no pressure for the trucks to drive up the hillside.

These trucks even have steel plates hanging on the cab, and the driver can only use a small gap to confirm the direction, so although the protection is tight, the speed is comparable to that of a snail, but the mercenaries are not in a hurry, they rely on the truck as a cover, and they rub up little by little, and the snipers of the Shadow Company on the high ground are powerless for this thing, and can only shoot the steel plate of the cab to vent their dissatisfaction.

Then, the large-caliber machine gun with bulletproof gun shields welded to the roof of the truck also began to fire, and the bullets instantly suppressed the snipers on the position and could not raise their heads.

And the jeep mortars under the hillside are not idle, the gunners always pay attention to the movement on the hillside, and when they see movement, they are a few shells, and the suppression effect is even better than that of field guns.

"Good, good, good!"

François, who personally supervised the battle, shouted three good words in a row, and at this moment his men had advanced to a position of three hundred meters under the cover of trucks, as long as they were advancing a little, as long as they could reach that place!

François's hand holding the telescope had begun to turn white because of the excessive force, and he stared motionlessly at the front line, where the gunfire was raging at the moment, and after entering two hundred meters, both sides gave up the idea of semi-automatic gun-fighting, and switched to fully automatic fire, trying to overwhelm the opponent with rapid automatic fire at this distance.

Seeing that the position of the Shadow Company was about to be taken, suddenly, François heard the sound of a propeller.

"Helicopter!"
