Shortly after midnight, the sky began to be covered with dark clouds, and at about two o'clock, it continued to rain heavily. Such weather caused great trouble to Lin Rui and others. The bunkers where they were hiding began to flood, and the ditches overflowed. When a person slips into a ditch, the dirty water reaches their ankles.
In this dark town, heavy rain poured down, visibility further reduced, and the rebels and government forces could vaguely hear each other shooting in the distance. The sound of gunfire and explosions did not stop because of the pounding rain.
Jiang An is still issuing orders through the earphones, directing actions in detail. The rebel battle line turned a corner here, and the fortress that Lin Rui and others wanted to attack was in the center of the town, at the protruding corner.
Lin Rui raised his head and let the rain wash away the mud and dried blood on his face and head. They cleared the previous bunkers and hidden rebels, and Peng Lefeng helped them block the reinforcements of the enemy troops outside. Only then did he have time to breathe. Lin Rui felt that he was approaching the limit of fatigue. After the military uniform on his body was soaked, it became heavier and colder. His combat boots were filled with mud and water, making walking difficult.
He looked back and saw that there were about thirty people around him, half of whom were mercenaries and the other half were government soldiers from Anmore. There was also a group of government soldiers commanded by the government army Major Hroga. There were about fifty or sixty people nearby. Hroga is the commander of the government army. He is also one of the officers in the Anmol government army who has received mercenary training from the Black Island Company. He originally had nearly a hundred people under his command, but now there are only fifty or sixty left.
"Tiger, lead two people to climb over and cut off the barbed wire there. At that time, I will throw a grenade as a signal to launch the attack. Others will immediately throw grenades to drive the enemy out of the fortifications in front of the fort. .Seize the fortifications at the front of the fort before the enemy can regroup.
At the same time, Peng Lefeng attacked another rebel position - about two hundred meters away from here. His more than seventy assault troops will come over to join us after they succeed. Everyone be careful to prevent our own people from accidentally shooting each other in the dark. Do you understand? Lin Rui gritted his teeth and said.
"Understood. You give the order and we execute it." Major Hroga nodded.
"Action! Lower your body center, don't walk in a straight line, try to get as close to the surrounding bunkers as possible." Lin Rui rushed out of the bunker with a gun in hand.
This section of the street was so badly damaged by artillery fire that it was so full of potholes that it was impossible to move quickly through it. Most of the road surface was blown away by artillery shells, and the soft soil was soaked in water and became muddy.
The mercenaries and government troops were asked to assemble and form a column. Then, Lin Rui and Heroga led the team and marched quickly in the dark, with the others following closely. The rain was still falling and everything was dark, but the wind had died down. There was terrible mud everywhere. The dirt road was full of mud, as slippery as an oiled single-plank bridge, and there were big puddles everywhere.
As early as on the way to leave their positions to gather here, someone had fallen down many times, and the gun in his hand fell to the ground and was covered with a layer of mud. Lin Rui picked up the gun and gave it to the government soldier, "If you want to survive, hold this thing. It is what you rely on to survive. In a place like this, you would rather have your arm broken than drop the weapon."
They passed through the gap in the position in column, and with great difficulty they crossed a trench dug by the rebels, which of course was now a ditch. The sound of wading in the water was "plop, plop", and the sound of running water was "plop, plop".
After wading through the waist-deep water, dirty, sticky mud emerged from the boot cuffs again. Lin Rui felt like he was about to be hollowed out, but he couldn't fall down. He knew that once he fell, everything would be over. He was the first to pass and waited in front of the collapsed building until all the team members passed the ditch.
Then, he made a gesture, bent down, leaned down, and moved forward cautiously. The rebel fortress was only more than a hundred meters away from them. The only prerequisite for their ability to successfully approach there is that they can't make any noise.
Ahu followed Lin Rui and Heroga and marched in front of the team. While they looked ahead carefully, they hunched over and moved forward in the darkness at a slower pace than each step. Raindrops kept hitting their faces.
Lin Rui glanced back and could vaguely see some of the people closest to him. They were hunched over and moving forward quietly and slowly like giant black mushrooms. But every time they raised their heads and looked forward, Lin Rui said sternly in a low voice: "Lower your head! Lower your head!"
Although based on experience, he knew that in this dark night, it was impossible to see anyone standing twenty steps away. The most important thing was to stay quiet and not make a sound. If the enemy hears their movements, they are doomed. The rebels only need to use machine guns to fire into the darkness.If they shoot randomly, they will have nothing to do but run away or wait for death.
The rebels probably didn¡¯t know that they had reached here so quickly. They could still hear the noise and the roar of the rebel commander giving orders in the distance.
However, it is almost impossible to move on the ground that has been soaked by rain without making any sound. It was difficult to do so no matter what, as the boots on my feet were stuck in the mud, making a squelching sound with every step I took.
The wind has stopped, but luckily the rain is still falling. Otherwise, in such a quiet night, even a very weak sound will travel far. But the noisy rain can still bring some cover. There was a false alarm. A team member slipped and fell. If it were normal, the rebels might have heard it. But no, not a sound was heard, no gunfire was fired in response, there was no movement within the rebel fortifications.
Lin Rui breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move forward, but at a slower speed. He just needs to reach the distance where he can attack with grenades before the enemy notices their movement! At such a moment, there is not even any fear, only a huge, unstoppable desire to quickly close the distance and reach the attack position.
Lin Rui's feeling at this time was exactly like that of hunting down a wild beast; he was also eager for the prey to come into range, and he was also dreaming about whether this could be true. This distance seems too long! He knew very well that this distance was only one hundred and fifty meters, but it felt like it was longer than a road mile.
Because when he moved at such a slow speed, there was sticky mud under his feet. You must also avoid collisions with rustling debris. Collapsed rubble piles were even more troublesome because it was impossible to cross them without making some noise.
