Lin Rui was almost exhausted, leaning against the ruins of the building and panting, "How many did we kill just now?" he said weakly.
The black mercenary beside him whispered, "Six, maybe five. Probably one of them is not dead. I heard him moaning when we retreated. But who knows? Maybe he is dead now."
Lin Rui touched his left ear and smiled bitterly, "I probably have a perforated eardrum in this ear, so I couldn't hear clearly at all." He gasped, "Take a break and count the number of people, equipment and ammunition. People from the secret society are at any time. Will appear again.¡±
"We still have twenty-one people, six squad light machine guns, four RPG rocket launchers, and some AK47 rifles. Except for the grenades that consume too much, other ammunition is quite sufficient." The mercenary counted and reported to Lin Rui .
"Very good, this means we can continue to play with them." Lin Rui smiled. He connected to the wireless communication, "Hello, I am temporary commander Lin Rui, Lieutenant Colonel Woods, are you still here?"
"Thank God, you are still alive." Lieutenant Colonel Woods' voice said, "Where are you?"
"It should be in your northwest corner, close to the North District Station. We are working in groups to prevent the infiltration of the secret society. How is the headquarters doing now?" Lin Rui asked.
"It's still safe now. We control most of the surrounding areas. The commanders of each defense area who withdrew from each position have already directed their people to hide near the urban buildings. We are fighting with the armed forces of the secret society. The personnel are engaged in a tug-of-war. The headquarters of several attacks that have been repelled so far are still there, and the contact with the various units has not been interrupted." Lieutenant Colonel Woods replied.
"What about the total casualties?" Lin Rui asked.
"I just did some statistics. We have less than 300 people who can continue to fight, which also includes some lightly wounded." Lieutenant Colonel Woods's voice was a little bitter.
"Their number is only slightly larger than ours. And they are relatively concentrated. It is often difficult to see the beginning and the end, and there is a lack of understanding between each other's teams. Because there are people from the secret society and people from Delia at the same time, they are not commanding enough. Coordinate." Lin Rui whispered, "We still have a chance. As long as we survive tonight safely, maybe our reinforcements will arrive tomorrow."
"But, there are still at least seven or eight hours before dark." Woods whispered.
"Let's do our best." Lin Rui sighed.
Lin Rui felt a lot of pressure from this battle. According to the battle plan, evasive and defensive tactics were used in the battle. Whether they were successful or not depended on whether they could hold off the enemy and insist on the arrival of Gulei's men. He knew very well that to complete this combat mission, it was not enough to rely solely on his bravery and vigor as a mercenary. This requires planning and command.
Lin Rui was thinking while loading bullets in the magazine. His mind was full of pre-war preparations, troop morale, battle plans and other issues. Deep down, he had never felt so alone and helpless.
Near him, the mercenaries were sitting in groups on the ground. Some were carefully wiping their weapons; some were counting the bullets they had just received one by one, and some were checking their injuries. ; The mercenaries of the demolition team are bundling explosives.
Seeing the fighting mood of these mercenaries, the pressure in Lin Rui's heart seemed to be relieved a lot. They decided to find a more suitable location for an ambush before the people from the secret society came up. Lin Rui led these mercenary soldiers to a row of buildings to the west.
Without the sun, the weather looks a bit gloomy. A small group of troops walked through these old buildings. A gust of wind blew and the sound of the rushing water of the Hongshui River in the distance could be heard.
"Boss, we are reaching the designated area ahead." A mercenary said softly to Lin Rui.
Just as Lin Rui was about to answer, fierce gunshots and explosions suddenly came from the left wing, and the light of exploding grenades flickered in the smoke. It turned out that the Mawo Army on the flank was already at war with the enemy.
¡°Boss, there is an enemy in front of us, only a hundred meters away from us!¡± The black mercenary who acted as the vanguard immediately ran back to report to Lin Rui after discovering the enemy¡¯s situation.
¡°Disperse on the spot and prepare to fight!¡± Lin Rui gave the order decisively. These mercenary warriors quickly occupied favorable terrain. At this time, about a company of enemy troops on the opposite side were like a group of black ghosts, rushing towards this area.
"Brothers, we have work to do. Beat me hard!" As soon as Lin Rui finished speaking, the squad light machine guns and AK47 rifles in the hands of the mercenary soldiers rang out, and bullets flew toward the enemy group in rows. The secret society militants who rushed in obviously did not expect to encounter an ambush here, and were caught off guard. Unable to withstand such a violent blow, they retreated like a tide. Soon they started with a vengeance.
Members of the secret society began an all-out protest?, a large amount of bullets rained down the concrete blocks of the building. The RPG rockets fired from time to time destroy everything without restraint.
The situation is clear and the intervening route is blocked. Lin Rui couldn't help but become anxious. He threw the M16A4 in his hand to the ground, grabbed a handful of grenades, and threw a few grenades at the crowded location of the secret society. Then he dragged a light machine gun from beside him and fired fiercely in front of him. But this time the secret society acted resolutely. Although more than twenty corpses had been dropped in front, it did not reduce the pressure on Lin Rui at all.
¡°Boss, one of us is injured!¡± A mercenary hurriedly ran to Lin Rui from a distance and shouted. After hearing this, Lin Rui frowned and said, "Where are the medical soldiers?"
"He was killed two hours ago." The mercenary whispered,
Lin Rui came to the injured mercenary. The mercenary was hit in the head by shrapnel from the rocket explosion and passed out. His teammates were carefully bandaging his wounds.
Lin Rui looked at the unconscious mercenary silently and felt a sense of sadness. His anxious mood gradually calmed down. "He is hopeless." Lin Rui patted the mercenary who was bandaging his companion and whispered, "Instead of mourning him here, it is better to find a way to let yourself live. Only the living can mourn others."
The mercenary who was bandaging suddenly cried. He hugged the injured mercenary who was still breathing heavily and cried loudly.
"Get up! You pustule! If you don't want to live, you can continue to cry here. If you still want to live, we can't let the enemy hold us back. We should look for opportunities to go around from the side and go straight to their rear!" Lin Rui grabbed him! The crying mercenary shouted, "Tell me, do you want to die or live?"
The mercenary wiped away his tears and shouted, "I want to live."
"That's right. What I want is your energy to survive!" Lin Rui shouted. "The war is difficult, and if you want to live, you have to move. We must survive in death! We can mourn our dead comrades afterwards, but the premise is that we must still be alive to mourn them. Otherwise, we ourselves can only be mourned."
He took a breath and whispered, "Come with me."
