Samir's first feeling was that a deity had co down to rescue him.
Of course, he quickly dismissed this fanciful idea.
But who was rescuing him?
Who was shelling the I5I5 ard frontline command?
His thoughts beca chaotic again, his CPU almost crashing.
"Commander, this is our best chance to break out, let's run for it!"
Rahman's voice ca through the walkie-talkie, sounding distant to Samir, who was lost in thought and confusion, as if from an entirely foreign world.
Eventually, he snapped back to reality.
"No! We can't break out now!"
"What?!"
This ti, it was Rahman's turn to think he'd gone deaf.
"Not break out?!"
"Right!" Samir stated affirmatively: "We must counterattack now! If soone is assisting us, it's the perfect opportunity to strike back. If we flee instead of fighting, we will be sending the ones helping us into a trap! This is not how friends treat each other!"
"Friends? You an, we have friends helping us?!"
"Whether they are or not, since they're now attacking the I5I5 ard frontline positions, they are our allies!"
At this mont, Samir's thoughts suddenly beca crystal clear.
Once he had made up his mind, all confusion dissipated, and his mind was as clear as a mirror.
No matter who it was, he had to back them up!
He definitely couldn't let those helping him confront the entire I5I5 force alone.
"All units, concentrate towards the western exit, assemble at full speed imdiately, then Rahman will organize a fierce counterattack towards the I5I5 command outside of Lavo Town. One platoon will be responsible for the flanks, intercepting the troops reinforcing the I5I5 command. Before we capture their command and defeat the enemy head-on, they must not cross the interception line by even a step!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Variety of confirmations soon ca through the walkie-talkie.
After issuing the commands, Samir finally took a deep breath and then picked up his assault rifle and said to his bodyguard: "Let's go to the western exit and join Rahman's counterattack."
The mortar barrel was hot.
Song Heping had already fired at least six mortar rounds using the hasty firing technique.
The barrel was starting to heat up.
Usually, during training for hasty firing, they would only fire three rounds.
After three rounds, the barrel would be warm, but now after six rounds, the surface temperature was already close to over sixty degrees Celsius.
He knew if he fired a few more shots he would likely have to stop shooting.
Otherwise, the barrel would get so hot that it would be untouchable.
That's the drawback of the hasty firing technique.
It's good for ergency use but not sustainable for continuous firing.
For sustained, rapid firing, the mortar needs to be mounted on a stand.
"Collins, how is their command post now?!"
"The command post has been destroyed, but there are quite a few of them, probably looking for the cause now."
"They'll co to their senses soon, continue directing the fire, kill as many as you can!"
"Okay, correct the last shot to the right by twenty ters..."
Song Heping gently adjusted the mortar barrel, estimating so of the range data, then took the shell handed to him by Disaster Star and stuffed it into the barrel.
Boom—
Another mortar round was fired.
At this mont, Jiang Feng, who was setting up the mortar beside him, also started furiously firing all the shells he had found.
Soon, Jiang Feng spread his hands: "No more shells!"
Song Heping looked around: "Can we find any more usable ones?"
"Already checked, there's none left!"
Disaster Star spread his hands, expressing his helplessness.
Just now, Song Heping and Jiang Feng had quickly used up the found ammo, one setting up the mortar and the other hasty firing; it was Disaster Star who had scoured through the corpses to find a few undamaged 100mm mortar shells, which allowed them to hold out until now.
"Alright then, they will probably guess that their mortars have been taken out, it's ti for us to move." Song Heping put down the barrel and then picked up his rifle saying, "Let's go et up with Collins and the others. We must employ hit-and-run tactics, we can't stay in one place for too long, there are too many of them, we need to kite!"
Kiting is actually a kind of guerrilla tactic as well.
You run ahead while the enemy chases and searches behind you.
Just like flying a kite, it is done in a similar fashion.
"They've spotted us!"
Just as Song Heping and others had run less than a hundred ters, Collins' voice ca through the headset.
"Pull back, don't stand your ground, drive over for a rendezvous." Song Heping made a decisive decision on the spot.
Now with only six people, there's absolutely no way we can take them head-on.
Even though the I5I5 unit's headquarters has been taken out, the attacking forces around Lavo Town have temporarily lost contact with each other,
but these guys are by no ans fools.
Sooner or later, they will co to their senses and start searching for those who ambushed them.
If surrounded by these hundreds of people, even if each of us were as tough as Lambo, we wouldn't stand a chance.
"OK! We'll co to you right away, what's the location?"
"Drive towards the direction of the artillery position!"
"OK!"
Before long, those two bulletproof Lincolns appeared ahead.
As they rushed up to the group, Song Heping waved his hand.
"Get in!"
The car doors opened, and everyone sward aboard.
"Where to!?"
Collins, sitting in the driver's seat, asked Song Heping.
"Circle around the outskirts of Lavo Town! Right now our mobility is strong, they can't catch up to us."
The vehicle turned around, heading towards the western side of Lavo Town.
However, headlights appeared behind them very soon.
"These guys have vehicles too!"
"Armored pickups!"
"Hunter! Take out their machine gunners."
While speaking, Song Heping opened the sunroof, then leaned out halfway, raising his MK18 assault rifle.
In the darkness, he relied solely on night vision to capture the silhouettes of the targets.
Suddenly, Song Heping realized that the opposing vehicle's headlights were actually obstructing his observation.
He pushed up the night vision goggles and began to use his naked eyes to look.
"I can't see them, the headlights are too dazzling!"
Hunter was facing the sa problem.
"Use your naked eyes!"
Song Heping turned off the night vision function on his scope and moved aside to start aiming with the white light scope.
Looking through the scope, a familiar feeling surged in his heart.
It was the night-ti fleeting target shooting he had practiced when he first joined the military.
The small bulbs on the targets would flash for five seconds.
Within five seconds, one had to shoot from a distance of 150 ters and hit the target.
Now, the headlights were like those familiar fleeting flash targets.
Much easier to aim at than the flashing targets.
Plang plang plang—
Plang plang plang—
Song Heping burst-fired at the headlights.
The I5I5 ard forces, like most local militias, shared a common weakness.
Their night vision equipnt was not advanced.
Smashing their headlights was akin to blinding them.
As expected, the lead vehicle's lights imdiately went out.
Panic erged among the convoy.
Plang—
Plang—
Shots rang continuously from Hunter's position.
The car went out of control, obviously the driver was hit.
The vehicle swayed and zigzagged, and due to the high speed, it flipped over and flew up into the air...
At this mont, the machine gunners in the other two chasing pickup trucks realized things were turning sour. Although the Lincoln SUVs were driving without lights, they couldn't aim properly anymore, gripping the handle and blindly opening fire towards the front, scattering bullets like raindrops, hoping that hitting even a single one would yield results.
Seeing the enemy fire, Song Heping's heart actually went numb.
He knew the enemy couldn't see them.
But he was afraid of them getting lucky with a blind shot.
"Hunter! Take them out at the fastest speed!"
After speaking, Song Heping aid again; this ti he didn't precisely aim.
Because there was no ti for that.
Life and death were hanging by a thread.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh—
The feeling of 12.7 caliber Desheka Machine Gun bullets passing overhead was enough to make one's heart and liver tremble.
