The sound of gunfire has subsided. The Order's charge was defeated again, and the position and the nearby area of a few hundred meters were invariably filled with smoke and the smell of blood. Lin Rui waved his hand back and made a gesture, and the team hid on the spot and rested for a while, and replenished some ammunition by the way.

Lin Rui only felt that he was injured at this time, his shoulder and left arm were injured, but it should not be too strict, it may be a scratch caused by shrapnel when the grenade exploded. The most severe thing is that he feels that his eardrum may be perforated, and his hearing in his left ear may be affected.

He turned his head to the scorched earth of smoke and sighed in his heart. Of all the battles he has experienced, trench defense, the most popular common method of warfare of the last century, is undoubtedly the most brutal. You go back and forth in a see-saw style, and even sacrifice a lot of lives in order to fight for a favorable area.

In this stalemate battle, death is everywhere, and no one is immune. As a warrior, life is as cheap as a dog. No matter how good you are, it's just the value of a bullet. No matter how high the rank of the general, entering the position to participate in the battle will not outlive an ordinary soldier. Even a tactician with a unique skill may not be luckier than a rookie soldier. The brutality of war is on full display here.

Due to hearing loss on one side of his left ear, Lin Rui could only move the communication headset to the other side and asked Lieutenant Colonel Woods, "How is the situation in the other defense areas?"

"It's not good. Our losses were significant, and several important lines of defense began to waver. I don't know how long we'll be able to hold out. If we continue to fight, we will really have to fight out. Lieutenant Colonel Woods whispered, as the commander, he had already picked up his weapon and put on his steel helmet. Ready to get up and into position.

Lin Rui took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Inform all the troops to retreat before the next round of attacks by the Secret Society." ”

"Retreat any further, and we'll be entering the city of Naran. Lieutenant Colonel Woods whispered.

"Then let's go into the city, we don't have time to build a new line of defense. Nor is it possible for the enemy to give us time to rebuild our defenses. Lin Rui said slowly, "We can only use the temporary retreat to hold them back now." Buildings in urban areas can also provide us with the necessary cover. As long as we drag each other into street fighting. They are not really occupying the positions on the periphery. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Woods thought for a moment and said, "You're right, we don't have the ability to hold the perimeter positions anymore. I will give the order for all troops to withdraw into the city. You and your reserves too. ”

Lin Rui nodded, "Okay." He stood up and made a tactical gesture to the two mercenaries beside him, who quickly dodged into the ruins of the city. The rest continued to sit on the ground, resting as they pressed the bullets into the magazine.

Lin Rui's eyes blinked in the direction of the ground, and at the same time, he thought about the possible situation, if the outer position was occupied by the people of the Secret Society, how would his team deal with it at that time?

Suddenly, a voice came from inside the headset, "Report to the sir, confirm safety, there is no one in the nearby building." ”

"2 platoons! help other units transport supplies and heavy machine guns, and take care of the vigilance. After Lin Rui finished speaking, the scout who came to report the situation, "Where is your commander?"

"The lieutenant is dead, sir. Now the second lieutenant is in command, but he has also been wounded. The soldier whispered.

"Then you go and give orders. Lin Rui turned around and said, "Organize people to evacuate quickly." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the mercenary warrior in charge of the guard ran to report that a large number of members of the Order had been found in the east. The direction from which they came - to the south was also heard with a gradual increase in gunfire.

Lin Rui didn't say a word, and ordered the team to immediately rush to the position on the north side. A hero doesn't suffer immediate losses, he still understands these truths. If you want to minimize your own losses, you can't defend to the death, relying on the surrounding buildings of the city, fighting street battles, this is a way.

As night fell, most of the Mavo army withdrew into the city and engaged in guerrilla street fighting with the Order.

Lin Rui and his men gathered around an old building, and although there were observation posts on all sides, the people of the Secret Society would appear at any time, and there could be no bonfires or lights. The mercenaries could only take out dry food and gnaw silently.

"Cheer up, we haven't lost this city yet!" Lin Rui said to the mercenaries under him, "If they want to occupy this place, they can't do it at all." Our reinforcements are right behind their ass. As long as we hold them back for another day or two, they will be completely finished! Why are they attacking so desperately, because they are more afraid than we are. ”

"But there's no way we can do it here. Sir, how many brothers shall I take with me?"

"No! Even if they occupy our position now, they don't dare to rush in. Especially when it was already night, they would definitely strengthen their vigilance and hold the position they had won with great difficulty. This is when they are at their most alert. Lin Rui's tone was not negotiable.

Lin Rui turned around and went to each of his soldiers, sometimes saying a word to them, and more often, just saluting and looking at each other. It was very late, and Lin Rui fell asleep.

Until the early morning, the sound of a roaring grenade explosion woke up Lin Rui.

He scrambled to his feet and began to look around him. Just two hundred meters away, more than two dozen members of the Order were searching for approaches, a formation of a squad. Don't know who they were attacking just now?

The mercenary beside him whispered, "They seem to be looking for us, and they were using grenades to find their way just now." ”

Lin Rui did not answer. He took the lead in wielding his rifle and stood silently against the wall. He made a gesture towards the others. The mercenaries, who had long been red-eyed, threw out two grenades, and after the explosion, they jumped out of the hiding spot and rushed forward. Hearing the sound of explosive gunfire and the trumpet, the well-trained Secret Order soldiers first lay on the ground, then rolled to the side and formed a defensive formation.

Lin Rui took the lead and jumped up and rushed forward. Fierce hand-to-hand combat began. The M164 in Lin Rui's hand was completely suppressed by the frightened soldiers of the Secret Society at close range. Hide behind the building and don't dare to show your head.

"Sir, their reinforcements are coming!" said one of the mercenaries in charge of guarding.

"Concentrate on me! The others keep the fire suppressed! Okay, you go south and leave the battlefield! I'll break off!" Lin Rui roared loudly and issued a series of orders. Fight and go, and stay away from the pursuers of those secret orders.

He called out to the other units as he retreated, "A new round of attacks by the Secret has begun, and they are trying to reduce our range of activities further into the center of the city. The teams dispersed into small groups, leaning on the buildings to conceal themselves and strike at the enemy forces that entered the city. Just drag them down here, we can do it. ”
