"Reporting to the commander, we encountered a violent attack ahead. Someone ambushed us on both sides of the road." A report from a member of the Red Devil Troop came from the communicator.
"Block?" The commander of the Red Devil Troop frowned slightly. "Those militiamen? No, that's not right! These militiamen are currently trapped in Palimo, and we have not received any news about the attacking troops. Organize a counterattack on the spot immediately."
Lin Rui and others have very strong positions on both sides. Their fortifications are mostly built along the roads and form several lines of defense. They are also equipped with heavy firearms. Their mercenaries are also a capable force with great combat effectiveness.
The smoke bomb prepared in advance exploded, and the smoke screen was like a veil, completely blocking the sight of the Red Devil troops.
"Hit!" Lin Rui gave the order, raindrops of bullets swept towards the enemy, and grenades bloomed in the enemy's formation. After the Red Devil troops were suddenly attacked, they couldn't tell their direction for a while, so they had to retreat temporarily to stabilize their defense.
But the Red Devils¡¯ reaction ability was super strong. After being attacked, they quickly stabilized their position and tenaciously began to attack the flank positions. The infantry began to call for the infantry to support the firepower, but the artillery could not find the bombardment target in the veil-like smoke, and most of the artillery shells did not explode on the position.
The vehicle-mounted machine guns of the Red Devil troops concentrated their firepower and launched charge after charge in an attempt to break through.
The nearest forward assault position is only two hundred meters away from the enemy. The earth raised by the shells was like thick smoke and fog, and the dense shells destroyed some of the fortifications. The gunfire blast made people unable to lift their heads. An enemy shell fell on the position. After the explosion, there were broken arms and limbs everywhere, and a lot of blood accumulated in the trenches.
"Enemy armor." A mercenary shouted in a low voice, then grabbed the anti-tank rocket launcher and fired it with the roar of the armored vehicle. A huge fireball exploded in the smoke.
When daylight was about to break, after a night of fierce fighting, the entire front seemed even more chaotic in the bloody haze. The joints of many positions were forcibly broken through by the enemy, while the infantry of both sides were still in more defensive areas. Fierce exchange of fire.
The Red Devil troops probably didn¡¯t expect that Palimo¡¯s defense line, which was almost on the verge of collapse, still had such tenacious resistance, and could even cause them to suffer a bloody blow.
Several armored vehicles of the Red Devil Troops had just regained some of their disadvantage, when the artillery fire came again in the blink of an eye, and the mercenaries' bombardment began. Mortar shells whizzed past the defense line at low altitude, and the falling shells ignited the entire road into a sea of ??flames again.
Amid the fierce artillery fire, a large number of mercenaries began to assemble along the highway. Although bullets and shells kept whizzing down in the sky, these desperadoes were still gathering bravely.
The morning sun is already rising in the sky, bright red, like a Hao mirror hanging above the clouds, spreading its warm golden light. However, the blazing flames on the ground rose into the sky, covering up the glow of the red sun. The towering smoke pillars floated between the sky and the earth, unable to disperse for a long time.
Nearly the entire road leading to Palimor is burning, and some of the positions built before are now, without exception, reduced to rubble.
Temporarily constructed simple bunkers were even razed to the ground, and powerful artillery shells were enough to blow these simple bunkers to pieces. The observation post where Lin Rui and others were hiding also collapsed a lot at this time, and there was burnt blackness everywhere. The air was filled with a choking burnt smell.
The members of the Red Devil Force never seem to feel fear, as if attacking, attacking, and attacking again is their rhythm.
Groups from the front launched a charge, and mortar fire from the rear crashed down, causing fireworks to rise into the sky. Under the cover of this fierce air attack, there were groups of advancing armed vehicles and surging soldiers.
The fierce battle is still going on, and no one knows what the outcome will be if this fight continues. In just a few hours, many people on the mercenary side were seriously injured in this road blocking battle, with more than 200 casualties.
The Red Devil troops were the one that was ambushed, and their casualties should be more, but these people were like beasts that smelled blood, and they became braver as they fought.
Although the road was ultimately firmly in the hands of the mercenaries, as the defense line in the south was breached at noon, if this continued, the road would certainly not be able to hold on for long.
Lin Rui knew very well that if the frontal blocking position was broken through by the enemy, these dangerous enemies would be forced into Palimo, making the positions on the flanks of Palimo vulnerable to enemies from the front and back, and the entire flanks of the defensive position would be exposed to the guns of the Red Devil troops. Under the mouth.
And this was the main reason why he tried his best to avoid it and even took the initiative to intercept this enemy force. From dawn on, gunfire and gunfire continued one after another along the entire eastern highway, and there was thick smoke and fire everywhere.Lin Rui knew that now was the critical moment. But at this time, another report came from the wireless earphones. Due to the fierce attack of the enemy forces, the right wing of the road had lost many key points in front of the position, and was slightly shaken.
The troops of Kuai Ma and others suffered setbacks in the east when they blocked the attacking army and began to retreat and take shelter. In view of the failure of several attacks, the Red Devil troops temporarily retreated, regrouped, and stormed the center with elite troops.
Lin Ruiyuan originally planned to launch a counterattack, but after consideration, he believed that the troops were extremely tired and lost their offensive power, so he had to give it up temporarily.
"Boss, these guys from the Red Devil Army are too ferocious. If it doesn't work, let's withdraw." Sausage came over and whispered.
"Retreating is also a dead end. We will be blocked in Palimo City, and they will completely surround us." Lin Rui shook his head. "We can only use this breathing opportunity to retreat some distance to reorganize the defense line. We must not let them get close to Palimo."
He turned around and said, "Withdraw a few heavy firepower points first, and reorganize defensive positions behind. In addition, we must leave a part to block the enemy, so that the enemy cannot notice that we are retreating to reorganize the defense line."
"I'll stay." Kuai Ma nodded, "I'm better at positional defense."
"Okay, but I can only leave two hundred people for you." Lin Rui looked at him, "If you survive, I'll treat you to a drink."
"Drink until you vomit." Kuai Ma gave a rare smile. The dirt and sweat on his face had stained his face, but his teeth were very white. It makes him look a bit like a wild dog in the African desert.
Lin Rui patted him hard and then gave the order to retreat temporarily. Quick horse led people to take over the position. In order to cover the retreat of the troops, they used intensive firepower to almost boil the front of the enemy's position into a boil.
There was a rapid fire attack, and under the suppression of mortar fire, the Red Devil troops temporarily stopped their large-scale charge. After all, their casualties were greater than those of Lin Rui and others. This also gave Lin Rui and others some time to reorganize their defense.
