The explosion only lasted less than a few tens of seconds before it ended, and then the mercenaries who were still alive rushed to the death point like crazy, and rescued the few other boxes of shells left before the flames engulfed everything.

The helicopter overhead had already left, leaving the machine gunners on the high ground to tilt their bullets in the direction of their departure, but this pointless venting was soon stopped.

François stood up from the foxhole with a disgraced face, and at this moment he understood why the Shadow Company would give up the defensive position to him so easily, so to speak, even if this battle was won, in a few years, his team would not be able to return to its former state.

But now, it's all here, even if the gains outweigh the losses, you have to fight, you still have a chance to win, if you lose, but there is no chance, François still remembers the one million bounty that Shepard hung on himself!

Now that he's so insistent, there's some ambition in it, and he wants to smash that arrogant American's face with his own 42 boots.

"Count the losses, heal the wounded, and prepare for the attack!"

François closed his eyes in pain as he looked at a few deformed cannons that had been scorched by the flames, although these cannons were old, they were also exchanged for real money, but now, everything is gone!

Eke hurriedly ran over, and was stunned when he saw the old guy who had aged a lot in an instant, and then opened his mouth to comfort the other party.

"Well, that Mr. Wonderle from United Mining said that he had contacted Mr. Denard, and he promised to send forty more good men to help you!"

"Forty, Ek, look where we are, and see where Bob is! By the time he sent someone arrived, everything here would have been over long ago! ”

"But that's a supplement for later!"

"That's also after, not now, look, Ek, our opponents, they're down there, looking at the devastation of our trap pit, and we have to keep fighting!"

"They can't hold it, we win!"

"Did we really win?"

"We can definitely win, old man, the brothers are still waiting for your order, as long as you open your mouth, you only need a charge, this mining area is ours, and when the time comes, the income of millions a year is enough for us to do a lot of things!"

"I hope so!"

François picked up a handful of charred dirt and scattered it away, then he looked at Ek.

"I need everyone to be ready for battle, everyone, wait for my order to start attacking!"

"Understood!"

Hundreds of mercenaries quickly reorganized the defences, buried the severed limbs, and cleared the twisted weapons, and then set up the few remaining heavy machine guns on the side of the high ground to the side of the mine, without artillery support, these heavy machine guns were the only way to attack the mines!

At three o'clock in the afternoon, with another whistle, dozens of Belgian mercenaries, who had already prepared their positions, took the lead in crossing the hillside and attacking the valley along the inner slope of the valley.

The attack went so smoothly that they were not even attacked on the downhill slope, and the Belgian mercenaries, led by a commander, managed to occupy the dry banks of the river below the heights, where they had a good assault position.

Then, the mercenaries signaled to the top of the hillside, and the second group of personnel prepared to descend the mountain, and when this group of mixed mercenaries from various countries came down the mountain, the recoilless cannon that had been silent for a long time on the high ground on the south side suddenly opened fire.

The rapid shelling exploded directly in the queue, and the mercenaries immediately rolled down the hillside without caring about decency, and when they rolled and climbed down the hillside, the PMCs of the Shadow Company on the opposite side of the river began to shoot again, and the PMCs pulled up a line of fire on the slopes of more than a dozen undulating dirt hills, and constantly bombarded the second group of mercenaries with grenade launchers, and if they wanted to reach the bank occupied by the first batch of mercenaries, they had to run on foot across the dry riverbed nearly fifty meters wide, and this distance was not dangerous to defend, There is also not the slightest cover.

It's like a well-constructed killing trap, and the Apple detachment that has been on standby for a long time is a well-planned hunter, and each member of the detachment is responsible for a point, and all they have to do is to strafe as much as they want.

An area of less than two hundred meters, under the strafing of dozens of automatic weapons, turned into hell in an instant, and the mercenaries even had to pay the price of one person falling for every step forward.

Although the Belgian mercenaries on the river bank and the mercenaries on the high ground tried to help the friendly forces as much as possible, the Apple detachment on the anti-slope was not in their attack field at all, and the heavy machine guns kept tilting bullets in the direction of the dirt mountain, but they were lonely after all.

The Belgian mercenaries on the bank of the river tried to outflank the defenders behind the dirt hill through both sides of the riverbank, but they were intercepted by snipers halfway, and the PMC snipers using semi-automatic rifles did not even consider the efficiency of killing the enemy.

And when the last mercenary broke through the fire blockade and ran to the river bank with difficulty, nearly twenty corpses had already lay on the dry riverbank, and a dozen seriously wounded people fell to the ground and struggled weakly, only to let out a miserable wail.

This forced François to abandon his plan to let the third group of mercenaries go down the mountain, at least before controlling the dirt mountain!

He could only let the Belgian mercenaries attack the mountain, hoping to continue to compress the Shadow Company's defenses, or at least press them back.

The Belgian mercenaries, who had no backup, also knew that the situation was critical at the moment, and under the leadership of the commander, they immediately approached the dirt mountain area again, and at first the mercenaries went well, successfully occupying about one-fifth of the outermost area, but then, as they went deeper and deeper, the situation became worse.

The dog-toothed dirt mountains are stacked together, although it is not a labyrinth, but because of the accessibility in all directions, the blockade of the mercenaries does not play any role at all, but is constantly attacked by the Apple detachment from all directions, these PMCs who are familiar with the terrain don't even care about the hit rate, they appear from the corner of the oblique stab, run away after hitting a magazine, and when the mercenaries try to catch up, they will be attacked by the enemy on the side.

Such a bad situation made the mercenaries in charge of commanding the battle instantly out of control.
