It had only been one day since Lin Rui and others completed their defense adjustments, and it was already half past twelve. The gunshots in the distance gradually became louder. There are passages to the north and south of Alcain. Highway 3 climbs up the mountain from the northern trail and then winds and stretches to the south. The mountains in this area have no clear veins. At a glance, they are all undulating wasteland. Alkane is like a mountain ridge running horizontally from east to west. This mountain ridge is both high and flat compared to the surrounding mountain ridges.
Of these mercenaries blocking the enemy in the middle, there are no more than a thousand who can directly participate in the battle, and the others are soldiers from Anmol. But these two or three thousand people must use bravery, wisdom and ingenious tactics to form an iron wall that can block tens of thousands of enemies for a long time.
At dawn, the battle started, with an average of one mercenary resisting more than a dozen enemies and a fierce battle began. Fortunately, they have a defensive advantage, but that's about it.
The middle road is held by Black Panther Gulei and his brothers. The enemy's shelling continued from dusk to dawn, and from dawn to dusk. General Kadom walked very fast in the rain and mud. There was a lot of mud on his clothes. The fierce and arduous fighting day and night made this strong black man a little haggard. His beard has grown by more than half an inch, and water drops are dripping from the beard; his sleep-deprived eyes are full of red lines. And he is always optimistic and full of energy, as if fatigue, hardship, hunger, rain, and freezing can never subdue an energetic person.
Since the battle began, Kadom has traveled to various positions held by the Second Army. Sometimes he stayed up all night, running from this battalion and regiment command post to that battalion and regiment command post, asking questions, giving orders, and giving instructions. With his simple and sharp words, he inspired all those who had doubts. Sometimes he suddenly appeared in the trenches, at the starting point of the charge, in places with fierce artillery fire, commanding the fierce battle sternly and energetically.
Lin Rui is spreading a combat map on the ground. Kneel down on one leg, put your hands on the ground, and stare at the map. After a while, he raised his head and whispered a few words. He took out the cigarette case again, took out a cigarette, knocked the end of the cigarette vigorously on the cigarette case several times, and sucked on it, thinking deeply.
General Kadom got into the shelter, his body soaked by the rain, and water dripped from the brim of his hat. He stared at the map of the shelter and asked Lin Rui: "Mr. Rick, what is your current situation? Why don't you launch an offensive."
Lin Rui explained the situation in a very organized manner. Finally, he summed it up and said: "The enemy's artillery fire was very fierce! Although we destroyed most of the enemy's artillery last time, their large-caliber self-propelled artillery was too powerful. It's so big that we can't even lift our heads. If we take the initiative at this time, the casualties will be huge."
General Kadom¡¯s chin trembled slightly. He stared directly at Lin Rui, with two stern lights in his eyes. He said: "Is it difficult on the front line? How long can they last?"
Lin Rui nodded: "It is indeed difficult, but our frontal defense has been strengthened several times. The bunker is very strong, and the enemy has not launched a decent charge in a short period of time, and has not used infantry and artillery coordination. So I think they should be taking advantage of The shelling serves as a psychological deterrent. So we cannot move for the time being."
"But if this continues, morale will be low." General Kadom couldn't help but said.
"There is nothing we can do now. The enemy is using small-scale harassment and shelling to test our defense. Therefore, our current heavy firepower cannot be exposed. Once exposed, it will become a target for the enemy." Lin Rui waved his hand. He said, "General, one of us has to withstand more than a dozen people now. The pressure is very high. If we can hold on without losing, we will win. Besides, we are responsible for the defense in the middle, so you should stay less involved."
General Kadom shut his mouth tightly and stopped talking. It was obvious that he was trying his best to suppress his emotions and keep himself calm. His face was dark, and his eyes shone with a cold and resolute light. After a while, he added: "I don't care how long you can hold on against a dozen enemies alone? But you must be able to complete the blocking mission for at least six or seven days. If your people can't do it, use ours." People. Our soldiers know what it means to endure these hardships at the moment. Therefore, they have infinite courage and they demand to use all methods to defeat the enemy and destroy it! "
Kadom stared at Lin Rui for a full minute and said angrily: "You don't have the heroic spirit of a warrior!" His voice trembled slightly from the impact of suppressed emotions. He strode out of the shelter and stood in the trench, looking to the north where the artillery fire was intense.
"Yeah, we don't have heroic spirit, but at least we don't have to be forced to fight by the supervising team." Lin Rui mocked unceremoniously.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the mountains were covered with mist. It was impossible to see anything more than ten meters away. The sound of gunfire and artillery roared one after another.
"This old guy has a very bad temper." Peng Lefeng walked in and laughed softly.
"Ignore this old guy." Lin Rui waved his hand and said: "Xiao Peng, I have already said: You are going to send a company out tonight." He pointed to a mountainous area due north on the map and said: "Put in Go to the middle of the enemy, actively attack the enemy, cooperate with the frontal blocking troops to attack the enemy, and delay the enemy's attack time. In this way, the main force led by Black Panther Gulei can insert into the middle and set up a formation, attack the enemy to cover the flanks, and relieve the enemy. Only with well-organized troops can we relax and expand our offensive on the east side."
Peng Lefeng stood on the traffic trench, carefully checked the enemy's offensive, and whispered, "It must be a feint attack."
Lin Rui nodded, then got into the shelter and called Ahu from the front of the position to the command post.
Ahu was covered in mud and smelled of gunpowder smoke; there were some small cuts on his lips, and small drops of blood oozed out. Lin Rui handed him a glass of water. He took it and poured it into his mouth, with water dripping from his chin. "The bombardment was so damn hard my ears are ringing now."
After Lin Rui told Ahu his intention, he said: "Tonight, I will let one of your companies insert themselves into the enemy. The first company is close to here. Go and ask them to withdraw the troops of the first company from the line of fire." .Creating the illusion of a defense gap. No matter who the enemy commander is, he will not let go of this opportunity for a tentative attack. And the company that penetrates will complete the cutoff from behind them, and in cooperation with our first company, we will use the final force to attack them. Destroy these enemy forces quickly."
After Lin Rui explained the current situation between the enemy and ourselves and the task of sending troops to fight among the enemies, he said: "Ahu, you stay to help command the defense." He then said to Peng Lefeng: "Xiao Peng, take a company and join in." Go among the enemy, pay attention to concealment, and leave the position to Ahu for the time being. All important firepower points are not allowed to fire without permission. We have not yet reached the critical moment."
