Chapter 57: Drawing Wages from the Bottom of the Cauldron

Seeing Lin Rui stumbling back, Qin Fen said loudly, "What the hell are you doing?"

"I have to get rid of those MG3 machine guns, otherwise the frontal threat to us is too great.;" Lin Rui gasped and said, "How are the others?"

"Boss Zhao can stand it up. But the big guy Ivan is a little dangerous there, and they have nearly a hundred people gathered on the beach there. He was fenced off, and he was about to lose it. Qin Fen said, "Shall we go over and help him?"

"Not yet. Lin Rui shook his head and said, "As soon as we leave here, we will be broken through." And once here is breached. Both Zhao Jianfei and Ivan's two lines of defense will lose their meaning. The enemy will follow this path, straight into the base behind us. So there can be no shortage of manpower here. ”

"What then?" Qin Fen said loudly. A huge explosion was heard not far away. It was the ship's pirates firing bazookas in the distance. The blasted dirt and sand flew one after another, and then sprinkled on the heads of Qin Fen and the others.

Lin Rui shook his head, shook off the sand on his head, and frowned, "You and Peng Lefeng are guarding, and I'll go over to help them." You hold on, if you really can't do it, retreat a little, rely on the terrain to organize the defense again, and I will be back soon. ”

"It's just you, can this help them?" Peng Lefeng frowned.

"I don't know, how much can I help. Lin Rui said helplessly. "And then there's Fernández and Shogan. They were in reserve, and if Ivan was in danger, they should have been thrown into battle as well. I'll go over and help them again, and I should be able to get Ivan and them out. ”

"Okay, then you go!Stay safe!" Peng Lefeng threw a magazine at him.

After Lin Rui took it, he checked the weapon, and ran to the other side of the jungle without looking back. He connected the communication, "Ivan, how are you there? Ivan?"

Lin Rui reluctantly turned up the sound on the headphones to the maximum, but still didn't hear Ivan's response. But on the beach to the west, gunfire rang out. It seems that most of the armed pirates used this place as their main point of attack. It is no wonder that the western area of the island and the eastern area of Zhao Jianfei's defense are the most suitable for landing on the island. That's why Ivan and Zhao Jianfei will set up defense lines in these two areas.

Lin Rui rushed over only to find that Ivan and the others had been forced out of the original bunker. The defense line of several people had retreated behind a large rock, and it was obvious that the fight was fierce, several people were wounded, and Ivan was bleeding profusely from the shoulder. However, before Lin Rui arrived, they had already repelled another charge from the pirates, and several people were taking time to replenish their bullets and bandage each other's wounds.

"How's the situation?" Lin Rui looked at Ivan.

"It's not too good, there are too many of them. I'm here, and now there's only three of them. One went missing during the retreat, and the other died instantly when he was shot in the chest. Ivan said in a deep voice. "Are the rest alright?"

Lin Rui nodded, "At least for now, I don't have any other casualties there. Zhao Jianfei shouldn't have too much of a problem there. ”

While he was talking, Shogishi and Fernandez, as well as the white bear, arrived. They were originally in reserve, but Ivan lost contact here, and listening to the gunshots, it seemed like they were in a bitter battle, so they didn't dare to delay and arrived quickly. Although Ivan and the others were injured, they were not in serious trouble. This also made Fernandez breathe a sigh of relief.

Jiang An's eyebrows furrowed, "If we continue to fight like this, it will be very bad for us." Our numbers are too small to withstand this attrition. With every brother we lose, our resistance weakens by one point. If you stick to your defenses like this, I'm afraid you will be exhausted by them sooner or later. ”

"Then what do you mean?" Lin Rui frowned.

"Retreat, get out of this jungle and continue to retreat to the vicinity of the base. Shogishi frowned, "There are reinforced concrete fortifications there, and heavy weapons for the defense of the base. Relying on the base, we were able to hold out longer. And putting them in will help to disperse their forces. Even if we organize a counterattack, it will be smoother. Besides, it's getting late, and when it comes to night, it's impossible to defend here. ”

Fernandez nodded, "I was thinking about this just now, but it's too early to retreat." We will have to support this line for at least another hour. Give them enough consumption. Can you do it?"

Ivan nodded and said, "No problem." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, another 40 rockets exploded nearby, and the dirt and weeds were blown up. Ivan kept shaking his collar, letting the sand leak down his neck. "They are already in a hurry, and the number of attacks with rockets has increased significantly. He replaced his gun with a magazine and pressed the bullet in another empty magazine. In a real battle, there is no time to do this kind of work of loading bullets one by one.

Lin Rui looked at the distance and said, "There are a lot of them. Even after the repulsion, they still gathered on the beach, as if preparing to launch a follow-up attack. I wondered if I could do something to demoralize them. Know that these pirates are a rabble, especially the other pirate groups that Efuya has brought in. Of course, I was elated when I won, thinking that I would get a piece of the pie from the victory. But once defeated, they ran faster than anyone else, and as long as one of the pirate ships couldn't help but turn around and leave, the others would definitely not be willing to help Efuya die. ”

"I also don't think it's the way to go on with this kind of passive defense. "The reason why I mentioned withdrawing to the vicinity of the base is to give up this beach and woods, so that their personnel can be further dispersed, and they will not be able to form superior firepower against us. However, we can rely on the favorable terrain and fight through the guò movement, forming the advantage we have. In essence, it is also the idea of turning defense into offense. After all, offense is the best defense. Do you have any ideas that you can share with us?"

Lin Rui smiled slightly, "Don't forget what we are here for? We are amphibious combatants, and it would be really funny if we were trapped on a small island by hundreds of pirates without lack of weapons and equipment." ”

"What are you going to do?" Fernández frowned.

"Blow up their ship. Lin Rui said calmly. "We have wetsuits, there are **. Underwater blasting is not a lot of problems at all. Give me an hour and I'll be able to press C4 plastic under their boat**. I don't believe that after these armed ships were bombed, they could still hold their breath. ”

"The bottom of the kettle is a salary, such a vicious idea, and it is direct enough. Ivan's eyes lit up and he said, "Count me in." ”
