The fifth squadron of this battle suffered more than half of its casualties. It was not until the troops entered the branch cave and found that there were very few enemies left in the cave that they realized that the main force of the enemy army had been killed in the battle.
The next battle went step by step, sweeping through the branch holes one by one, killing the remaining enemies and rescuing the trapped troops. However, there should be more than fifty people in six squads in the six branch holes, but in the end only more than twenty people were rescued.
, there is no officer among them, and there are only two squad leaders.
What made Luo Qi even more crazy was that all six holes were blocked and he couldn't find a way back to the shaft.
He really wanted to go through the six holes and see the conditions of these holes with his own eyes, but time did not allow him to do so, so he could only report the results to Ye Han dejectedly.
Ye Han said without hesitation: "Punch it in! There are still so many holes, and one of them will be able to get out... Don't wait around, hurry up!"
"Yes!" Luo Qi did not dare to delay, quickly organized his troops and continued to march deeper into the main cave.
The first hard nut to continue the attack was 508. However, after rescuing more than 20 people, the dilemma of insufficient troops was greatly alleviated. The troops rushed to 508 under the leadership of Luo Qi.
The soldiers guarding here moved to the front of 508 under Luo Qi's order. Sixty or seventy meters further ahead is 509. Behind 509 is a turn, and 510 cannot be seen.
Luo Qi gave an order, and the soldiers who had been prepared immediately threw grenades into the hole. Then two machine guns rushed into the hole under the cover of the explosion, and intensive gunfire immediately rang out in the hole.
Others followed, and a team of more than thirty people rushed in within a short time, leaving only a few people on the defense line outside the cave.
At this juncture, a group of enemies suddenly rushed out from behind the curve. At the same time, another group of enemies rushed out from 509. The two waves of enemies joined forces. The densely packed aliens, regardless of life and death, charged towards the thin defense line.
A desperate charge was launched.
Cao Lipeng, who was guarding the defense line, his eyes widened and he subconsciously yelled: "Fire -"
In an instant, there was a loud sound of gunfire, and everyone fired fiercely regardless of losses. The dense bullets flew towards the enemy like rain, mowing down the enemies at the front layer by layer.
However, the enemies from behind immediately came in again, and they surged like a rolling tide. If it weren't for the limited capacity of the main cave, the enemy troops could only squeeze together and not be able to disperse. The dense mercerized light alone would be enough for Cao Libin to drink a pot.
Seeing the enemy troops getting closer and closer, Cao Libin immediately realized that the situation was not good. He fired and shouted: "The enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking, Camp Commander Luo, please support..."
There were only five people on the defense line, including Cao Libin, and only one machine gun, which could not stop the enemy's attack.
"Hold on, we'll be there soon!"
"Hurry, hurry, I can't hold on for long..."
At this time, a figure suddenly rushed behind the defense line, picked up the rifle and flicked it. After firing all the bullets, he changed the magazine with one hand with extremely skillful movements. He pulled the bolt and continued to fire. It was obviously a rifle, but it shot something close to
Machine gun firepower.
Everyone present is a veteran, and there are quite a few who know this skill, but none of them can play it so smoothly in actual combat.
Cao Libin glanced back while he was changing the magazine, and his eyes widened in astonishment: "Sir..."
"Stop talking nonsense and shoot me immediately!" Ye Han's movements were not affected by his words at all.
"Yes!" Cao Libin quickly calmed down and continued to fire at the enemy.
Although Ye Han joined the new force, the enemy force was strong. The aliens charged with the corpses of their companions and quickly approached the defense line.
Soldiers on the defensive line have three options:
1. Continue to hold the defensive line until it is overwhelmed by the enemy.
2. Withdraw to 508 and join the main force.
Third, take the initiative to retreat and trade space for time.
The result of the first two choices is that the troops will be blocked by the enemy in 508. Even if they fight out again, the entire passage will have to be cleared again; the third choice is relatively better, but it is only the taller one among the dwarfs, which is only a little better.
That's all.
There are only a few people on the defense line. One less person will affect the density of firepower, and they will inevitably leave the bunker during the retreat, and they are likely to be hit by the silk light.
Time no longer allowed Ye Han to hesitate any longer. Sure enough, he ordered the troops to retreat, then turned around and ran back... The first retreat did not mean safety. On the contrary, it meant leaving the shelter of the bunker, which might become the focus of the enemy.
Target.
Ye Han stopped immediately after crossing the hole of 408, turned around and continued shooting at the enemy: "Next one!"
Cao Libin kicked the soldier beside him: "Retreat!"
The soldier raised his legs and ran away without hesitation.
In this way, the soldiers on the defense line retreated one after another, and finally only Cao Libin and the blasters who came to count the guard battalion were left.
At this time, the enemy troops were only more than thirty meters away from the defense line. Cao Libin took out a grenade and shouted: "Withdraw!"
The demolitionist fired the last grenade in the launcher, picked up the submachine gun behind his back and squeezed the trigger; "You first..."
"I am the squad leader..."
The tall and powerful blaster kicked Cao Libin away: "I don't care what you look like!"
Cao Libin gritted his teeth, threw out the grenade and fired at the enemy while retreating, trying his best to delay the enemy's advance.
However, the human side's firepower was too weak. As soon as Cao Libin retreated, the enemy had already rushed to the front of the defense line, less than ten meters away from the defense line!
Ye Han shouted sternly: "Come back quickly..."
The enemy was too close, and the Demoman knew he couldn't retreat, so he quickly took out the magazine and prepared to replace it, but before he could replace the magazine, several aliens suddenly rushed over and held him down like a stack of Arhats.
The Demoman struggled, but was unable to withstand the overwhelming number of enemies. He tried his best to break free from the enemy's shackles.
He was desperate, gave up struggling, and shouted with all his strength: "Sir, don't forget me..." A thought flashed through his mind, and he instantly fired the explosive pack on his back.
boom--
The earth shook and the mountains shook, and a ball of flames instantly covered the main cave, which was more than ten meters long, completely submerging everything. Even Ye Han and others dozens of meters away were blown to the ground by the strong shock wave.
The flames in the vacuum disappeared just as quickly as they came. By the time Ye Han stood up again, the flames had dissipated. All the enemy forwards were wiped out. Those who survived were shaken to and fro, and the momentum of the charge was slowed down——
There would be no shock wave in a vacuum, but the explosion of explosives produces a large amount of gas, which is bound by the cave wall, thus generating a strong shock wave in the tunnel.
It seemed as if a string in Ye Han's mind suddenly broke. He wanted to shout, but something seemed to be blocked in his throat. He picked up the rifle, held the fire, and spat out a few words through his teeth: "Hit me!"
There were too many enemies, so he didn't aim at all, he just fired bullets at the enemy soldiers, knocking down seven or eight enemies who had just recovered a little in one go.
At this time, the enemies from behind surged up, and when they saw Ye Han and others, they immediately fought back. Cao Libin's pupils shrank sharply, and he suddenly kicked Ye Han away, and was immediately hit by more than a dozen rays of silk light.
