The fighting in Saslim expanded from the suburbs to the city. , the secret society armed forces made full use of the firepower advantage of tank guns and well-trained tactics, and entered the offensive stage from the defensive battle in the urban area. Starting from the initial assault, the mercenaries and militia troops shifted from active offensive warfare to defensive operations. Under the constant threat of enemy forces, they must consolidate the area south of the city.
Relying on powerful artillery cover and the support of armored vehicles, the Red Baron commanded his troops to organize a fierce counterattack. Counterattack against the southern part of Saslim, the two sides began another fierce exchange of fire.
General Hassan¡¯s troops came to the flanks of the mercenary troops to prevent the enemy from counterattacking. General Hassan's troops also blew up many of the original fortifications.
The secret society¡¯s armed forces violently bombarded the mercenaries¡¯ positions. The defensive fortifications were completely destroyed, and some civilian buildings were also blown to pieces.
During the war, one of the mercenaries' helicopters was destroyed and the other was injured and staggered away.
The secret society militants focused their artillery fire on the mercenaries, and then moved forward one after another. Using the cover of machine gun fire, the infantry swarmed up like a swarm. The Trident Company garrison immediately responded with machine guns and grenades. But the intensive artillery fire suppressed their defenders in the fortifications. Seven or eight armored vehicles armed by the secret society were lined up in a row, preparing for an all-out assault.
By this time, the mercenaries had suffered many casualties. Facing the enemy troops coming up like a tide, they launched another counterattack. One of the two mercenary captains who organized the defense was killed and the other was seriously injured. The troops without command were immediately overwhelmed by the armed forces of the secret society.
The secret society¡¯s armed forces occupied several important positions. General Hassan personally led his troops to come for reinforcements. Although everyone worked bravely, it was difficult to achieve results in a short period of time due to the small number of troops and heavy casualties.
In the midst of the crisis, members of O2 Team B, along with a large number of armed mercenaries, were ordered to come to stop the attack.
This unit is equivalent to Lin Rui's training team. Their military quality is better than that of ordinary mercenaries. They were trained by Lincoln and their equipment is not bad. After receiving the order, they immediately advanced through the artillery blockade and exchanged fire with the enemy. Faced with the enemy's intensive artillery fire, artillery shells and bullets were fired at this place together. Mud debris was flying, gunpowder smoke was filled, and shrapnel was in flames. The mercenaries fought back against the enemy regardless of their own safety.
There were sacrifices every moment. A mercenary leader of the fire team fell, and a company commander under Hassan was also killed by the enemy's sniper gunner, with the warhead penetrating his helmet.
The enemy's reconnaissance team had already penetrated deeply and sent soldiers to the front for reconnaissance. It has been a long time since they came back. The sound of gunfire gradually became fainter. Lin Rui's mercenary troops were on the right, and Hassan's militia troops were on the left. They advanced alternately. About 500 meters ahead, the secret society militants who had arrived were hiding among the sandbags and building ruins on the roadside.
Neither side dared to expose their target. The sun was setting, and the day's battle was coming to an end. Beside the ruins on one side, some mercenaries covered in blood and dust were lying on the ground, and some were still moaning.
"Which army are you from?" a mercenary asked.
"They are from the Sixth Company, General Hassan's men." A soldier replied weakly, "We only have a few people left, and we can't withdraw." The battle between the neighboring troops was still very fierce. After crawling to a blind spot of shelling, Lincoln, the leader of the reconnaissance force, led his soldiers to spread out beside a building. Using the cover of a nearby building to lurk, they had to pick up two scouts.
Soon two scouts came over, bending down and running like a snake. As soon as they arrived near them, a stream of bullets flew, and the scout was shot in the right leg. He rolled and climbed into the sheltered area. The other mercenaries immediately tore open the first aid kit, stuffed the hemostatic medicine into the wound, and bandaged his wound layer by layer.
The scout was a veteran with experience. He gritted his teeth and said to Lincoln: "Only, only 4 people from the front troops survived. The casualties in the other two platoons were also huge no we can't assault again." It's and don't withdraw. The enemy see we know the danger of withdrawing let's not move, hold on" After saying this, he fainted.
Night falls, hunger and pain attack everyone. It wasn't until 9 o'clock that the gunshots finally stopped. But the soldiers still couldn't rest. They had to dig fortifications and prepare to hold on all night. Although the possibility of a surprise attack by secret society militants at night is low, they still must prepare for tomorrow's battle.
At dawn the next day, the secret society¡¯s armed forces discovered this temporary position. Multiple companies attacked here together, causing more and more casualties. A platoon commander of General Hassan's Sixth Company had already taken over as company commander, but not long after, he was hit by another bullet in his left shoulder and passed out. The entire company was now under the acting command of the soldier squad leader, and there were only about twenty people left in the company.
At this time, the troops of the Western Sahara Popular Front had advanced to the ring road in the city. Although the militia forces in the northwest were fiercely attacked by the secret society's armed forces, they were not the main attacker and could retreat flexibly. Therefore, they are still entangled with the enemy forces and have not been completely repulsed. The main force of the secret society's armed forces has directly threatened the mercenary troops in the south. For this reason, Lin Rui ordered to suspend the attack on the enemy. Hold on to the spot, and dispatch two battalions of General Hassan and General Quinn to encircle them.
After two days of bloody fighting, part of the Red Devil troops were surrounded in a small area east of the south of the city. In the afternoon, General Quinn launched another fierce attack, and the reinforced secret society forces retreated to the vicinity of Saslimi Station during the night.
The mercenaries led by Lin Rui personally were a commando team. He led his troops to an intersection about 400 meters away from the enemy-controlled area and immediately dug a fortification bunker nearby. He knew that this was the only way for the enemy to pass.
Sure enough, the enemies rushed to this position. Lin Rui gathered more than 10 armed vehicles, set up machine guns and fired fiercely at the enemies on both sides of the intersection. The enemy soldiers were caught off guard and fell down one after another. Early in the battle. They used artillery and infantry to fight together against the defenders. Before launching an attack, a 10 to 20 minute artillery bombardment must be carried out. In this way, most of the front-line fortifications were destroyed, and the subsequent charge and counter-charge became more intense.
Lin Rui¡¯s mercenary troops stood firm at the main intersection in the south of the city and repelled many enemy attacks. However, they also paid a heavy price and suffered considerable casualties. The brutal war forced both Lin Rui and actuary Jiang An to find ways to reduce casualties. Later, on the advice of the actuary, a two-line configuration was adopted, with the second line about three hundred meters away from the first line.
A few mercenaries are left on the first line to command and observe, while the rest are on standby in the second line. After hearing the signal from the observers, they then enter the first line and join the battle, thus minimizing casualties.
