The sudden explosion of gunfire was like firecrackers, the whizzing bullets were noisy in the night, and the firelight rising into the sky tore through the cold night, like the cornet blowing from hell.
"go ahead--"
"Use your bayonets to disembowel them! Cut off their heads and make them into flagons!"
"Go kill!"
"Go and plunder!"
"Tear them apart!"
The night raid was discovered.
The predators no longer hide.
The leader of the attack was a short-haired man. He pulled out a ten-man pistol, shouted wildly, and pulled the trigger in his hand.
The figures crawling in the snow stood up one after another, like jackals rushing towards their prey. They shouted like monsters and launched a surprise attack towards the north wall.
The battle is about to begin!
Standing on the concrete wall, there were less than four guards on duty on the tower. They were caught off guard by the bullets fired at them. A round of firefight cost them two bodies.
The other two people were not happy either. They were pinned behind the bunker by the flying bullets and could not raise their heads at all.
A shrill alarm sounded in the farm.
The guards at the station immediately picked up their weapons and, as they had practiced countless times during the exercise, rushed to their respective combat positions.
Unlike those "hyenas" hiding in the ruins, these predators are not only well-trained, but also equipped with legion weapons, and their firepower is unusually ferocious.
In addition to bolt-action Ripper rifles, they are not only equipped with automatic weapons, but also five or six light machine guns!
Even though Wrench and his men bravely rushed to the wall immediately after the battle started, they still felt huge pressure in the face of the surprise attack of hundreds of marauders and the surging firepower.
Without the cooperation of trenches, a wall alone would not be able to stop so many people.
Under the cover of firepower from the back row, a ten-man team of Marauders took the lead in crossing the trench buried in the snow and reached a place less than 20 meters away from the base of the long-lasting farmhouse wall.
"Molotov cocktail!"
"Smash it for me!"
The short-haired man shouted loudly, and a dozen looters behind him lit Molotov cocktails and all threw them at the three-meter-high concrete wall.
With a crash, flames leaped into the sky.
Although these incendiary bottles did not cause any substantial casualties to the guards on the wall, they still caused a lot of confusion for them.
This is a common tactic used by predators in the wasteland.
Use Molotov cocktails to create chaos and force the defenders to leave the lit bunker. While compressing the defenders' tactical space, they can concentrate their efforts to launch a surprise attack on the weak points of the defense.
To a certain extent, these predators' offensive worked.
More and more Molotov cocktails were thrown onto the wall, which was divided into several sections by the flames. A young guard risked his life and rushed to the tower to replace his fallen comrades. He set up a light machine gun and fired at the outside of the wall. However, within a few seconds,
Within seconds, he was taken away by a barrel shot from the darkness.
Fires burned on the tower.
"grass!"
Wrench, who was guarding the wall in the lead, cursed angrily and threw the wooden-handled grenade with the fuse out.
With a loud bang, snowflakes splashed onto Lao Gao, and one of the looters fell down on the spot.
However, in the face of the wave-like offensive, this grenade was like a stone thrown into the sea, unable to stop the surging waves at all.
The predator holding a submachine gun rushed nearby, took off the barrel on his back, and fired an iron fist towards the north gate.
The arm-thick rocket blasted a big hole through the iron door, but it did not break it open.
Seeing that the break-in failed, the looters did not give up and rushed forward to plant explosives.
The guards on the wall fired back, knocking down the two people who rushed closer, but were quickly suppressed by bullets fired from a distance.
"There are too many of them!"
The injured guard leaned against the concrete wall, his arms covered in blood, enduring the pain and shouting to the captain not far away.
"Sir! They put explosives at the door!"
"Can you get it there?"
"I tried...their firepower was too intense!"
Wrench gritted his teeth, made a decisive decision, and roared at the top of his voice.
"Everyone retreat!"
"Let these beasts in and beat them!"
Inside the north gate of Changjiu Farm, facing a construction site, there are piles of bricks buried in the snow and an unfinished dormitory building.
This dormitory building was originally intended to be used by homeless people. However, due to heavy snowfall, the construction period was delayed. Only the second floor has been built, and the outer wall of the third floor has only been halfway repaired.
It's perfect for use as a cover!
As he finished speaking, Wrench raised his rifle and glanced outside the bunker, attracting the firepower of the machine gun.
Seeing that his comrades had retreated to the stairs, he threw out the last grenade, then drove his exoskeleton, jumped off the wall, and ran after his comrades to join them.
Almost at the same time as the guards withdrew from the wall, a loud explosion came from the north gate.
The heat wave and flames soared into the sky, blowing the entire door away and flying several meters away along with the snow on the ground.
Seeing that the gate was breached, the looters cheered and rushed in with rifles in hand.
Fortunately, the people on the wall were removed in time.
If he were a little slower and the predators got behind him, all the people on the wall would turn into birds on the trees and be beaten from a high place.
The guards who retreated into the apartment building finally got a chance to breathe.
Before the looters could completely rush in, Wrench immediately organized the remaining thirty guards and set up a new defense line around the apartment building.
Some people were scattered around the dormitory building, while others set up machine guns at the windows and started a fierce exchange of fire with the looters who rushed into the farm.
In less than ten minutes, the battle has reached a fever pitch.
The two sides fought around the north wall of the farm, leaving more than ten corpses each, all of them red-eyed.
Facing the brutal plunderers, the guards resisted tenaciously and had high morale.
Unfortunately, the predators had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, equipment, and combat experience.
Many of them followed the Lion's Tooth banner and fought all the way from the middle of the River Valley Province to here. During this period, they experienced countless battles, large and small, and burned and destroyed countless villages.
Many of the guards guarding here are recruits who have just completed their review. Their origins are different. Some are recruited from refugees, while others are recruited from surrounding survivor settlements.
Maybe some people have experienced the test of blood and fire, but most of them are on the battlefield for the first time.
This isn't lying in a trench shooting target.
The murderous aura rushing towards his face was suffocating, the fire was burning under his nose, and the strong smell of gunpowder even reached his throat.
In the chaos, only the flickering lights of fire were seen, and it was impossible to see where the people were.
As more and more looters crossed the north gate, the guards had to shrink their defense line again and again until they completely retreated into the dormitory building.
There seems to be no suspense about victory or defeat.
If nothing else goes wrong, this battle should be over within a few minutes.
Gray Wolf, holding a telescope in his hand, glanced in the direction of Jiujiu Farm, with a mocking smile on his face.
"A bunch of weak chickens."
Victory came faster than he imagined.
He originally heard that the Black Snake was defeated twice in the hands of these people, and he was prepared for a hard battle, so he made a careful plan and observed outside for a whole day before ordering tonight's raid.
However, what he didn't expect was that after the fight started, he realized that the people standing in front of him were a group of rookies who had never been on the battlefield.
At the cost of less than ten casualties, his men effortlessly rushed in and captured the walls and towers.
Is this an attack?
What a waste of expression!
The hyena crawling at his feet bared its teeth in excitement, hissed and growled in its throat, and its eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light.
It smelled the smell of death.
Looks like I can have an extra meal tonight!
"...It's so strange. I thought there were at least seventy or eighty of them, but from the sound of gunfire, there were only forty at most?"
Following the gray wolf, the scout with a white cloth on his shoulders whispered, his eyes full of confusion.
He has been a scout for some time. Although he cannot say that he can guess 100% how many people are in the camp, with his rich experience, he rarely has an error of more than double.
Standing on the other side of the gray wolf, the burly man did not hide the ridicule on his face, looking at the flaming wall, tut-tutting.
"And they are all brand new soldiers. Look at how they looked when they retreated. Many of them were so frightened that they peed their pants! Haha!"
His name is Wang Tuo, he is one of Gray Wolf's confidants and a mercenary who joined the Bone Chewing Tribe with Gray Wolf.
Not only is his marksmanship superb, he is also an awakener!
The scars engraved on the muscles are all proof of bravery.
Looking at the brothers who stormed the wall with overwhelming force, Wang Tuo rubbed his fists excitedly and looked at the gray wolf beside him.
"Boss, let me come too!"
I went late, but I couldn’t even drink the soup!
The five ten-man teams left behind were originally intended to prevent the defenders from rushing out from the side door and outflanking their rear.
But now it seems that the opponent's manpower cannot even fill the frontal battlefield. At this time, dividing the troops to surround the rear is no different from seeking death.
It looks like it's coming to an end.
Gray Wolf put down the telescope, and after thinking calmly for a moment, he gave the order.
"You lead a team of ten people and quietly move along the east side to the south of them. Don't let them escape."
"Remember, wait until they come out of the door before you fight."
"Don't kill them all, leave two alive. I have something to ask them."
Chasing deserters?
He is so good at this kind of meat-eating job!
"yes!"
Wang Tuo accepted the order excitedly, and without saying a word, he immediately ran down the slope and came to the front of his tribe.
The group of hungry wolves were already impatient. They were holding rifles with bayonets mounted on them, looking southward eager to see what they could do.
Looking at this group of wolf-like brothers, Wang Tuo shouted excitedly.
"Brothers, follow me!"
"Don't let our prey escape!"
…
Escape is impossible.
The looters have surrounded the dormitory building, and the guards stationed inside the building have no way out.
No one plans to retreat.
They have let go of the north gate.
If it is released here again, there will no longer be a reliable bunker to hold on to, and the looters will completely occupy the entire farm.
This is the last line of defense!
After a fierce exchange of fire, the looters had taken control of the stairs on the side of the dormitory building and threw a grenade up.
Fire breaks out!
The gunfire upstairs suddenly stopped, and the looters squatting by the stairs were about to attack upstairs. However, at the critical moment, gunfire suddenly rang out from the darkness on the side.
"Ah da da da da da-!"
The tail, who rushed from the rear to the front line, fired at the wall of the dormitory building while menacingly adding sound to the bullets with his mouth.
The bullets flew randomly.
What's scary about full-power bullets is not just the sound of the gunfire, but also the splinters and dust that hit the wall.
The predators who were about to rush upstairs were startled by the sudden burst of firepower in the darkness. They thought reinforcements had arrived and did not dare to continue rushing upstairs. They quickly found shelter on the spot and took shelter.
He raised his gun and fired back at the source of the fire.
The bullets flew over in a whoosh, almost tail-to-tail in the chaos.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, Sisi pulled back the guy who rushed too fast.
Almost at the same time, a dense rain of bullets hit the pile of red bricks in front of them, and broken bricks fell to the ground.
He was so crushed by the light machine gun that he couldn't even lift his head.
Tails, who was leaning behind the bunker with his rifle in his arms, said angrily.
"Damn it! What if the bear with the tail is here!"
"Sisi thinks that might be worse."
Sis released the hand holding the back of the tail, glanced at the map on the VM screen, and was about to think about the attack route, when a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
"Hey, how could I forget such an important thing?"
Looking at the surprised Tails, Sisi stretched out his hand and pointed to the house on the south side and continued, "Remember? That's our save point."
Although there are not as many people here as in the outpost, the people who come to Jiujiu Farm to do missions in this weather are basically, if not big players, at least professional combat players.
At the same time that the battle situation on the front line was getting tense, more than ninety dormant warehouses were opened at the save point on the south side of Changjiu Farm.
Accompanied by the sound of air leakage, faces poked out of the open hatch.
Drum hair washing machine: "MMP, I'm having lunch! Doesn't planning have family members???"
Battlefield Atmosphere Team: "Hahaha, I'm eating too! I made dumplings at home, and I just finished eating a plate when I saw someone in the group calling for work!"
I was the worst: "Hurry up! I'm only halfway through the takeout! I ordered it for 20 yuan!"
Battlefield Atmosphere Team: "Where's the spring water? The spring water said by the dog, hurry up and lead the team!"
Commander Quan Shui, who was busy putting an exoskeleton on his body, couldn't help but sneered when he heard these words.
"Gan! Why the hell are you talking to your father like this?"
"Stop beeping," the rifle in his hand was loaded, and the battlefield atmosphere team rolled his eyes at him, "What's the point of wearing this thing? I never saw you rushing forward."
"You know nothing!" Quan Shui cursed as he pulled up his pants and put on his shoes, "If I fall, will you be the one to take command?"
The equipment is right next to the sleeping cabin.
The preparations were completed within half a minute, some players had already killed themselves out, and a small number of players had gathered individually.
After counting the number of team members in the shortest possible time, exactly twenty people were formed into two ten-man teams. Commander Quan Shui immediately gave the order.
"Group A will follow the warriors to the front line to shoot and reinforce the NPCs in the unfinished building. Group B will follow me. We will follow the east wall and circle back, aiming for the north gate to cut off their retreat!"
"These guys don't have martial ethics, but they actually imitated us in carrying out night raids!"
"Let's go and tell them now what true tactical interposition is!"
Everyone's morale is high.
Especially when I was the darkest, I excitedly fired two shots at the ceiling.
"Ouch!"
"Fuck him!"
…
One kilometer north of Changjiang Farm.
Listening to the constant gunshots ahead, Gray Wolf took out his rusty pocket watch and took a look, frowning slightly.
Half an hour has passed since they captured the North Gate, and it has been a while since his fierce general Wang Tuo set out.
Logically speaking, this battle should have ended long ago.
However, for some unknown reason, the gunfire coming from the front line became more and more intense, and the fight for a long time showed no sign of ending.
Could it be that reinforcements have arrived?
impossible……
It is at least 10 kilometers from the urban area of Qingquan City to here, and the snow on the road along the way can even be buried up to the knees. Even if they have transportation, they will not be much faster than two legs.
Even if they responded as soon as the attack occurred, it would conservatively be estimated that it would take an hour to arrive from the city.
And this is assuming they can bring reinforcements.
It's impossible for people to fall from the sky, right?
"Why haven't you finished the fight yet?"
Gray Wolf felt a vague premonition in his heart, and his intuition on the battlefield told him that the ten teams that had attacked the wall might be in trouble.
Picking up the telescope, he glanced in the direction of Jiujiu Farm.
The concrete wall blocks the view, and it is impossible to see what is going on inside the wall from here.
However, at this moment, several figures suddenly appeared in Gray Wolf's field of vision, and they were seen running out of the north gate with panic on their faces.
The gray wolf was slightly startled.
When he saw clearly the faces of those people and the equipment on their bodies, his eyes suddenly widened and he wished he could fall out of his eye sockets.
Those deserters were none other than his subordinates.
"Boss, the situation on the front line seems not to be good..."
The scout standing aside swallowed his saliva. He had an ominous premonition from just now, but he never dared to say it.
But now, this premonition is getting stronger.
"What are these idiots doing!"
More than a hundred people!
Against a mere forty or so rookies, he was beaten like a bear!
The gray wolf couldn't help cursing, wishing he could chop off the heads of the captains who led the team and feed them to the dogs.
"Click..."
The hyena lying at his feet suddenly had its hair standing on end, and hissed and growled from its bared teeth.
The agitated gray wolf didn't have time to comfort it, so he said something perfunctory.
"Wait a moment, I'll have something to eat for you later."
The hyena whimpered, biting his trouser leg and pulling back. The gray wolf, annoyed, kicked the beast aside and walked in front of his four other henchmen.
"Bring your people up."
"Kill those two deserters by the way."
"yes!"
The four captains of ten took the order and led the eager plunderers towards the north gate of Jiujiu Farm.
Gray Wolf took out a flare gun from his arms and fired a shot into the sky.
This signal gun was given to him personally by Captain Lion Tooth, who ordered him to send a signal immediately after capturing the fortress, and reinforcements would arrive in batches.
Although it was a little early now, he felt it was almost time.
The flickering phosphorescence flies in the sky, like a beacon lighting up the night sky.
Gray Wolf squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of Jiujiu Farm. Two deserters had been shot, and more than 40 people had approached the north gate of the farm and were about to enter.
But at this moment, two lights suddenly lit up in the night, getting closer and closer from the east side of the Changjiu Farm.
The first to notice the anomaly was the scout on the side who screamed in surprise.
"Boss! It's a truck!"
The gray wolf was startled. He suddenly raised his binoculars and looked in the direction of the two lights. He saw a truck speeding on the snow.
etc--
gallop?!
What's going on with that speed?!
It wasn't until the truck continued to drive forward with ups and downs that Gray Wolf finally saw clearly. What he saw under the chassis of the truck were not tires at all, but two black... tracks?!
And the tracks seem to be made of rubber?!
The gray wolf's expression changed wildly.
Especially when he saw the things carried on the back of the truck, there was even more fear in his eyes.
Four long and thick cannon barrels were connected in series, pointing directly at the north gate of Jiujiu Farm, aiming at his plunderers who had climbed up the wall, as well as the more than 40 tribesmen who had touched the north gate.
The truck came to a stop on a gentle slope.
The slightly tilted quadruple cannons on the rear carriage are placed flat.
The next second——
Thick and long tongues of fire suddenly spurted out!
The bang bang bang sound of artillery resounded throughout the snowfield, and the orange tracers were like spears piercing the night. In just a few breaths, dozens of high-explosive bombs were poured into the snow in front of the north gate!
There was no time to escape, and there was no place to hide.
The more than forty looters who touched the north gate were like mosquitoes that were slapped to death on the wall. Their flesh and blood flew everywhere in an instant. They didn't even have time to scream, and they fell down like wheat under the high-explosive bombs.
one slice.
"No--!"
The pupils were filled with bloodshot eyes for an instant, the gray wolf's eyes widened, and his eyes were about to burst. A desperate voice surged out of his hoarse throat, and his heart seemed to be dripping with blood.
Those people are his confidants.
This is the power he has worked so hard to accumulate over the past few months!
And now——
Everything was in vain.
The looters occupying the wall in the distance were frightened by the sudden firepower and jumped off the wall in panic.
The situation in the war took a turn for the worse.
The sudden and rapid sound of gunfire seemed to be the final act of madness.
The center of gravity of the battlefield was pushed back to the north gate, and more and more deserters appeared, frightened and fleeing through the north gate.
But that was the beginning of their nightmare.
This fortress is located alone in the wilderness, surrounded by white snow, and even the trenches are buried.
The four-gun cannon mounted on the truck has obviously been loaded.
What awaits them is a massacre!
Looking at the tragic battle in the distance, Gray Wolf felt as if a piece of ice had been stuffed in his throat. The chill and powerlessness that penetrated his bones reminded him of the purgatory he had seen in the north.
The scout standing next to him was trembling all over and said tremblingly.
"Boss, boss... Do we... still want to continue fighting?"
continue?
What to continue with?
A bitter expression appeared on the gray wolf's face, and he looked to the northwest - the Yumu District, about nine kilometers away from here.
That's probably his only way to survive.
There is no vehicle that can pass through the dense woods. As long as he passes through that forest, he will have a chance to return to Yuanxi Town in the north and join the large army...
But then what?
Looking at the slowly falling signal bombs in the sky, Gray Wolf looked at the scouts beside him.
"You can go northwest and go back through the woods."
The scout was stunned for a moment.
"What about you?"
The gray wolf glanced south.
"I will marry you off."
