Chapter Seventy-Six: Meat Grinding

The Belgian mercenaries were organized into large formations of a dozen men, so they faced some difficult problems when operating in a confined area.

As the vanguard of a mercenary squad chased a sniper to the rear of the mountain, the spearhead of the vanguard around the mat49 submachine gun just poked out of the head, when he saw an M60 machine gun suddenly set up behind him.

The spearhead immediately shouted for his teammates to dodge, and several teammates behind him also heard it and avoided it to the left in time, but the allies in the rear didn't notice the movement in front of them because they were exchanging fire with enemies in other directions, so when the machine gunner swept over with a machine gun, several people in the rear were caught off guard and knocked to the ground.

Because of the continuous fire, the machine gunner's machine gun suddenly jammed, and he didn't even hesitate to drop the machine gun and retreated to the flank again, and when the spearhead tried to pursue again, another person appeared from the opposite position of the PMC's escape direction just now, and the same magazine was tilted and ran away.

This mercenary team has only penetrated into the dirt mountain area for only 200 meters, and has already lost more than half of it, and several seriously wounded people crawled to the corner with difficulty, and before they could find a bandage to bandage their still bleeding wounds, inexplicably a grenade fell from the sky and smashed again, and a few unlucky people had nowhere to hide, so they could only scream in the explosion, and then leave everything to God to decide.

The Belgian mercenaries hated the heavy FAL rifles in their hands at the moment, and on the rugged terrain, their reaction was seriously dragged down by the heavy weapons, while their opponents were extremely decisive, and the machine guns were thrown away after the bullet chain, and the mercenaries were like bulls with their heads covered, crashing wildly in the dirt and mountains, although they killed several Shadow Company guys, but they suffered even more heavy losses.

The mercenary's commander ordered his men to disperse the pursuit, which caused his men to fight separately in the event of losing contact, while the PMCs acted in fire teams, each carrying walkie-talkies, to inform each other of their positions and firefights, and to respond to each other and cover each other.

After nearly twenty minutes of fierce fighting, the Belgian mercenaries sadly discovered that although they had advanced to the other edge of the dirt mountain area, and even saw the office area and smelting workshop a thousand meters away, their men were now divided and surrounded by them.

"Retreat, disperse and break through!"

The commander was at a loss, he didn't even know where his subordinates were now, there were gunshots in all directions, and even continuous explosions, in desperation, he could only lead a dozen people around him to rush forward, and they also successfully broke through the dirt mountain area and entered the direction of the factory.

It's just that before they can run a few steps, the ghostly snipers are eyeing these guys again, these snipers who have received orders do not shoot the vital point, but aim at the legs, so after a few shots, there are a few more wounded people on the ground who are holding their thighs and wailing, and the others are too scared to care about rescuing friendly troops, and they are trying to run towards a safe place, and then, the mobile team that has been waiting in the factory area for a long time directly along the main road to kill.

The commander who was running at the front only cared to see if there were any bullets from the back of his buttocks, and he didn't notice the mud truck driving in front of him, and his companion shouted for him to dodge, but he didn't hear it, and then he was hit by the M20 that braked five meters away.

After a sudden braking, a PMC appeared from the M20's on-board machine gun position, and instead of firing, he ordered the intercepted mercenaries to lay down their arms.

With two armed reconnaissance vehicles and a commander lying on the ground twitching, the mercenaries decisively dropped their weapons and raised their hands in surrender like deflated balls.

The M20 armored car continued to move forward, cooperating with the Apple detachment in front of him to continue to encircle and suppress the fleeing mercenaries, François was on the high ground and watched the battle situation below anxiously, he could hear that the gunfire was gradually stopping, but he couldn't see his own people at all, not even the personnel of the Shadow Company, all he could see was the smoke and dust and the shining fire.

It wasn't until ten minutes later that there was finally movement in the Tushan area, and more than a dozen mercenaries crawled down the hill in a rather embarrassed manner, jumped off the river bank, and even lost their weapons.

They crossed the corpses of their own men in the riverbed, crossed the burning hillsides, and fled back to the high ground as if they had lost their souls.

"What about people?"

"I don't know!"

The mercenaries' faces were as dead as ashes, their bodies were covered with smoke and fire, and many of them were still wounded, so embarrassed that even François knew that he should not ask for anything.

At this moment, a deep sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart, and François looked at the mine below, and for the first time had the idea of leaving.

"Are we going to continue?"

"Let me think about it first!"

François shook his head, although his old partner didn't blame him, he was also embarrassed to face the other party, the Belgian mercenaries suffered heavy losses, which he caused single-handedly, and those people were also old acquaintances of Eck, and now there is not one in ten.

Although Eck's face was not good, he didn't blame François, after all, everyone voted before acting, and they could only blame the opponent for being too cunning.

When the mercenaries fell into a slump because of heavy losses, suddenly, a burst of graceful and light music suddenly came from afar, and at first everyone thought that they were doing their own work, and suddenly the atmosphere was a little lively.

It wasn't until someone looked into the distance that they realized that the music just now was played by the factory broadcast system!

It was soon recognized as the composer Schubert's trout.

So the atmosphere that had just been active suddenly fell silent again, and only the radio was still playing loudly.

Eck stood on the hill with a sad feeling in his heart, but then he saw the correspondent of United Mining walking towards him.

"Ek, you must keep attacking!"

"I know, but we have to rest, we have lost a lot of people, I have to regroup my troops!"

"I understand, if it's because of this, we can help!"

The commissioner's face immediately changed with joy, and then he said.

"United Mining also has two squadrons of mercenaries, as long as you nod, I can get them to rush to support!"

"And at what cost?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I don't think François is suitable for any mercenary commander, I think, this position should pick a more capable person, like you, how about it?"

"You want to take us in?"

"It's just cooperation!"

Looking at the smiling commissioner, Eke was silent for a few seconds before shaking his head.

"But I refuse!"
