39: Five tough guys! (please collect)
Yan Yizhou and the others had chosen a position behind a small reverse slope, about a hundred and twenty meters from the Transit Yard. The heavy machine gun bullets scattered and hit the soil of the small slope, leaving the two of them unscathed.
Seeing the defenders chasing them, the two of them didn't dare to linger in the fight and quickly retreated.
Li Xiao and the others also began to stand ready, but the defenders suddenly turned back after chasing for two hundred meters, having no intention of going deep at all.
"Damn it! They really are cautious. Yan Yizhou, go back up and harass them again!"
Li Xiao continued.
Yan Yizhou found another spot. By this time, the sniper's corpse on the watchtower had already been dragged down and replaced with a new sniper.
However, this sniper had learned from experience, directly avoiding the observation hole and not revealing a single bit of his body.
The others in the yard had all found cover and hidden themselves.
"Good grief! They really are willing to be shrinking turtles!"
Yan Yizhou said softly to Xiao He, "Since they won't show their heads, let's take out the searchlights!"
"Take out the searchlights? Won't that make it so we can't see the situation inside either?"
"We won't panic if we can't see, but if they can't see, they'll definitely panic."
So, within a dozen seconds, several searchlights in the yard were all shot out by the two of them. The exasperated Black Hawk Unit fired six or seven rockets directly at Yan Yizhou, but these rockets were fired blindly and didn't even come close to them.
As the smoke cleared, the defenders of the Transit Yard still chose not to move out, and Yan Yizhou also got stubborn.
Thus, the two sides repeatedly traded shots and shells until four in the morning, when the Imperial Soldiers at the Transit Yard finally couldn't take the torment anymore and sent a company of troops out to encircle and suppress Yan Yizhou.
Watching the group of Imperial Soldiers listlessly searching the forest area, Li Xiao and the others, who had already slept several times, couldn't stop laughing.
"Boss! I'll leave it to you guys; I can't hold on anymore."
After tossing and turning all night, even a sniper known for the best endurance couldn't hold up. Yan Yizhou really had no energy left, but Xiao He, who had been resting on standby, stepped in.
"Alright, leave the rest to us!"
Li Xiao pinched his headset and said, "Everyone prepare for battle! Once the targets enter the ambush range, the machine gunners will fire from the front, and the infantry will suppress from the flanks. Di Yun, your Assault Team will prioritize taking out the enemy's machine gun fire!"
Even though he had already deployed the combat plan, Li Xiao confirmed it one last time.
Their ambush position was on a slope, and the three machine gunners, including Leng He, had an excellent field of vision.
When the Black Hawk Unit had fully entered the ambush range, Xiao He was the first to fire, instantly taking out a soldier carrying a rocket launcher. Following closely, the squad machine guns of Leng He and the other two swept wildly at the enemy.
Suddenly under attack, the Black Hawk Unit didn't retreat immediately. Instead, they sought nearby cover such as tree trunks and slopes and immediately began to return fire.
For a moment, a large volume of bullets covered the slope, and the three machine guns were immediately silenced.
However, at the same time, four squads of infantry led by Di Yun and Zhao Feipeng respectively opened fire on the Black Hawk Unit from both sides.
Most of the Black Hawk Unit soldiers' attention was focused on the top of the slope. When fire suddenly opened from both sides, they couldn't dodge the three-hundred-and-sixty-degree lines of fire even by leaning against trees. In an instant, twenty to thirty people were hit and fell to the ground.
With the fire from both sides, the pressure on Leng He drastically decreased, and the three machine guns started roaring again.
However, the quality of the Black Hawk Empire's troops was quite strong. They quickly formed three defensive lines, defending against attacks from three directions respectively.
But the ambush area provided too little cover. Under the crossfire, they had nowhere to hide, even though they were superior in numbers and had as many as ten squad machine guns.
"Mortars, attack the high-ground machine guns immediately!"
Seeing that they were about to be surrounded like dumplings, a Commander in the Black Hawk Unit stood out. An officer with the rank of First Lieutenant quickly issued orders, and three seventy-five-millimeter mortars were aimed directly at the machine gun positions on the hill.
Puff, puff, puff!!!
After three muffled sounds, Li Xiao saw the machine gun positions constantly exploding and filled with smoke. He hurriedly shouted, "Leng He! How are you guys?"
"No problem! We're still okay!"
Mortars have strong suppression power against infantry and high damage, but they couldn't withstand the fact that Li Xiao had added over five thousand health points to each of the three snipers.
On this trip out, he had added all fifty thousand health points he had saved from the previous attack on the Tianba Squad to the key firepower output classes like snipers and machine gunners.
Although mortars are fierce, as long as they weren't direct consecutive hits, they wouldn't die that easily.
And as soon as the mortars opened fire, Xiao He quickly found their positions, with continuous shots making the mortar crews unable to lift their heads.
Seeing that the enemy's defensive lines seemed to be forming, Di Yun knew he couldn't delay any longer. He jumped out from behind a tree and shouted, "Assault Team! Go!"
Di Yun's Assault Team had five people including himself. Besides him having a terrifying twenty thousand health points, the other four were veterans who had survived the first week, and each of their health points had been increased to eight or nine thousand by now.
As soon as they launched their charge, the entire battle immediately entered a white-hot stage. Zhao Feipeng and Leng He simultaneously provided full covering fire.
The Black Hawk Unit was stunned to see the opponent charging up directly without any cover. Were they tired of living, or had their brains gone haywire?
Consequently, the firepower of more than two squads was directed at Di Yun and his team.
Di Yun and the five others didn't just rush blindly; they constantly used trees to dodge bullets along the way. Although they were hit repeatedly, it wasn't a major problem.
When they rushed to within twenty meters of the enemy, they threw out the grenades they had prepared.
As it happened, the soldiers of the Black Hawk Unit had the same idea, and they also threw over a dozen grenades.
However, Di Yun and the five others were running. Those grenades thrown with a delay failed to hit them directly, only the shockwaves of the explosions slightly affected their charge.
On the other hand, the Black Hawk Unit in front didn't dare to stand up and run away from the incoming grenades because doing so would make them targets for the lines of fire from both sides of Li Xiao's troops, so they could only roll on the spot to dodge.
But how agile could these low-ranking soldiers be? The five grenades dealt almost full damage, with six people killed on the spot and several others wounded.
Yet it wasn't over. At this moment, they took out the few captured Stun Grenades Li Xiao had issued to them and threw them into the center of the enemy's defensive line.
In a few moments, muffled explosions rang out as the Stun Grenades went off one after another. Several screams were heard; it seemed quite a few people were deafened and blinded by the shocks.
At a distance of twenty meters, the remaining forty or fifty people of the Black Hawk Unit finally realized the terror of these five tough guys and turned their muzzles one after another to spray bullets at them.
But the countless bullets hitting their bodies were like mud sinking into the sea, unable to stop their advancing footsteps at all.
