Chapter 69: The Dawn Is Quiet Here (9)
I took the gardener and five others to the barracks on one side, and from the doors and windows I could see the wall that they were approaching or attacking. I glanced at the oil bottle, and he led the men into the two barracks opposite me.
Just as I turned my head to look at the breach in the wall, there were explosions in the wall. Both sides of the wall breach were blown apart, and it was supposed to be an RPG attack, and it seems that the other party is preparing to completely tear down this section of the wall so that they can enter by themselves. Then the other side fired a round, and a rocket flew directly into the garrison, hitting a barracks at the back of our platoon.
"Ready! Let them in before you do it! I turned my head to my companion next to me.
After this round of rocket attacks, there was an eerie silence on the outside. After a while, there was a few bangs from outside the wall. Several flares flew over the station, immediately illuminating the perimeter of the station near the side of the wall. A moment after a round of flares fell, there was another round of heaven, this time I signaled everyone to pay attention to concealment, and I followed the light of the flare to look at the wall, which was almost fifteen to twenty meters away, only half of the wall was based on the ground, and on each side of this large gap there was a breach about three or four meters long, from here I could not see the people outside, but it should be not far outside, because this flare did not hit the sky to let them see the breach of the wall, It's more important to let them see what's going on inside the walls, so they won't be very far from the walls at the moment. From the time they discovered the movement to the present, the gang has been very cautious, such tentative attacks have approached in batches, followed by shelling, and then breaking down the wall, and now they are using flares to see what is going on inside. All these actions show that the other side is very cautious and has a lot of combat experience, and they know very well what kind of results a blind onslaught will bring to themselves.
After another round of flares fell, the entire station, including the surroundings, fell silent, as if everyone had lost their actions and was ready to sleep. I looked at the biggest breach in the fence and stared at it. There, after the flare was extinguished and the moonlight regained its primary, the breach was a darker shadow than the sides. After about three minutes, the dark shadow, near the base of the wall, suddenly changed color, and someone had come in.
I didn't shoot immediately, but turned my eyes to the other breaches, and the other two were faintly changing a few moments later. The other party is entering through several breaches at the same time. I looked at the people next to me and patted two of them, motioning for them to pay attention to the small breach near our side. Then I looked at the gardener and motioned for him to pay attention to the large gap. Finally, I motioned for the rest of the group to come with me and prepare to shoot at those who had already entered.
I adjusted my position, aimed for the breach, and pulled the trigger when I saw another flash of darkness. As soon as the gun went off here, the oil bottle also moved, and the people on the other side were not vegetarians, so after the gun rang out here, they didn't have any panic and immediately started to fight back. It makes you think that these people have been prepared for these situations for a long time, or even have encountered them before, and have a lot of experience.
It was not the men who entered the garrison who began to counterattack first, but the flames flashed at the edge of the breach. And in a very short time it broke out with considerable firepower. And the people who had already entered the station did not turn around and flee, but each prostrated on the spot and began to resist. To a large extent, the other side not only prevented itself from being suppressed in a short period of time, but more importantly, reduced the casualties of personnel entering the station.
The other party's ability to react is a bit unexpected to me, although I know that this gang is not easy to deal with, and I have also fought on the periphery of the abandoned barracks when rushing to the aid of Fastich and Jojic, but at present, this gang of people organized a counterattack on the spot without panic after being attacked, and the ability to stand reasonably and distribute the firepower evenly made my heart instantly chill.
"Attack the breach with all your might! Those who have already come in are left alone. Suppress the covering fire at the breach! I shouted and pulled the trigger.
The fire there was very strong at the breach, and looking at the flickering fire and sound among the people covering, it was not only assault rifles, but also machine guns, light machine guns, presumably machine guns such as Russian-made PK.
Bullets quickly flew towards us, and the barracks we were in was a wooden structure, and the bullets rattled on the outer walls, and the windows and doors were full of sawdust. The personnel of the other side at the breach did not weaken at all because of the shift of our focus, and what was even worse was that the people who entered the garrison immediately moved after seeing that we had shifted their center of gravity, and they did not retreat but began to attack and advance towards the barracks that were firing on both sides, while at the same time there were people continuing to reinforce the garrison at the breach.
"Gardener! Watch out for RPG shooters who hit them! I retracted and shouted to the gardener, who was pulling the trigger from time to time.
The gardener answered, and just then, a Serb next to me shouted: "Grenade! Take cover! ”
Everyone dodged, and just three seconds later, it exploded by the window, it was two grenades, after the first explosion, we were about to get up and fight back when the explosion followed, I don't know if this was deliberate or a coincidence, the shock wave of this explosion with fragments directly knocked a Serb who was about to shoot to the ground and did not move.
I looked up and saw that the window had been blown out of shape, and the edges were turned outwards as if they had been torn open. The gardener quickly got up with his gun in his hand and shot two short spots outside, and he crouched down and said to me, "There are quite a few people coming in this time. Is this a tentative attack? ”
Instead of answering him, I pulled out a grenade, "With a grenade!" "The fact that the other side was able to blow us up with a grenade means that some of them are already close to the house and will most likely continue to do so.
The two Serbs also pulled out their grenades, and I looked at them and said, "After throwing the grenades, retreat to the barracks next door." You two go first, and I and the others cover you! ”
"Understood!" These two should have arrived.
I pulled the grenade, crouched on the ground, pulled out the stance, threw the grenade through the window, and the two Serbs followed me to throw the grenade out, and a moment later a continuous explosion was heard.
"Cover shot!" I picked up my gun and screamed as I went to the window, and took a quick look to the outside, where they had already spread out and were attacking both the oil bottle and our side. Judging from the personnel dragged in by the other party at the moment, the number is almost at least thirty, at least. The barracks near the fence were now too beaten to raise their heads, but they fired a few shots from time to time, relying more on the people in the other barracks to provide fire support.
I pulled the trigger on the moving shadow and the enemy who was shooting, and the others around me started shooting, and the two Serbs who had just thrown grenades with me quickly crawled out of the other window in the house that was open to the other side of the barracks. Moments later, gunshots were heard from another barracks.
"You two withdraw!" I looked at the other two Serbs, and just as they were about to turn away, I grabbed one of them and said, "Go and tell the people in the tunnel, let them do it, and attack with all their might, don't keep the people who come in and push them out first!" ”
"Understood!" The man said yes and his companion and walked quickly towards the window. I looked to the outside and continued to fire.
But before two shots were fired, the opponent suddenly increased the firepower, and then the gardener retracted his head and said, "They seem to have someone coming with an RPG." I put one down, but with more than one person. ”
When I heard the gardener say this, I immediately said, "Quick." Let's get out of here! "This intention couldn't be more obvious, the other party has already figured out the firepower and approximate number of personnel in my and the oil bottle, and is not ready to waste time with us anymore.
The gardener and I immediately got up and went to the other window, and we had to hurry, because even if it wasn't a rocket, the quality of the other party would soon find out that people were moving and would soon be attacking back and forth.
I went to the window with the gardener, and I got out of the window first, and just as I was about to turn around to meet the gardener on my feet, I suddenly heard someone shouting, "RPG!" ”
Then there was an explosion in the direction of the oil bottle, I suddenly felt very bad, I grabbed the gardener who had just put his head out of the window, and dragged it out with both hands, the whole action was like a grab ready to throw him out, and because of this action, I immediately lost my center of gravity and fell to the ground with him, and at this moment, an explosion sounded in the house, and the shock wave instantly rushed out of the window in front of us, and the gardener and I accelerated and fell to the ground.
The gardener pressed on top of me, and the fall made me hold my breath a little, and I couldn't breathe for a while, and I didn't have the strength to get up at all. The gardener was fine, and he quickly got up from me, looked at me, and dragged me straight to another barracks, just then I heard a heavy gunfire erupting from the direction of the tunnel.
