Chapter 72: The Speed of Life and Death
The two teams rushed towards the dilapidated little courtyard on the open ground at the fastest speed in their lives, and everyone knew that falling behind was equal to death. Whether it's a rebel army or a ghost group, whoever occupies the favorable terrain first will be in control of the opponent's life and death.
More than 20 rebel soldiers rushed towards the broken houses, and they had to admit that Africans had an incomparable talent for sports, and in the desperate race between the two teams, the rebel soldiers showed signs of taking the lead.
Of course, this has something to do with the overall situation on the battlefield, one is that most of the ghost team and British soldiers are wounded, and the other is that the enemy is on the back and abdomen, although the smoke temporarily obscures the view of the rebel convoy on the road, but it does not prevent these guys from sweeping in the general direction.
A British soldier was shot and fell while running, the bullet pierced his calf, and the man fell to the ground screaming like a pig.
"Carry him away!" Long Yun yelled at Jack, "Run, I'll be broken!" ”
He stopped his pace slightly, and shot at the running rebel team three times, knocking down the two people running in front, the rebels behind ran too fast to stop, several soldiers tripped over the corpses rolling on the ground, and the remaining rebel soldiers stopped and shot wildly at Long Yun.
Long Yun had no choice but to fall to the ground, and after flipping over the small dirt bag on the side, the place that had been stretched out was splashed with mud.
The rebels were numerous, and they opened fire together, and the bullets formed a dense net of fire, and Long Yun couldn't raise his head at all after being crushed in the dirt bag.
Behind Long Yun, the curtain wall formed by the smoke bombs began to gradually dissipate, if he didn't run into the house to find cover, I was afraid that when the smoke was blown away by the wind, Long Yun would fall into a passive situation of not caring about his head, even if he could avoid the rebels on the open ground, he couldn't avoid the machine guns of those armed convoys on the road.
Seeing this, the crosshair also stopped, crouched on the ground and began to snipe continuously. Fortunately, the MSG90's large capacity magazine was extremely useful at this time, and 20 rounds was enough to maintain the sniper fire durability quite well.
Phew-
A rebel shooting at Long Yun falls.
Phew-
Another one.
"Run!" The crosshairs knew that they wouldn't last long, so they hurriedly reminded Long Yun loudly.
Taking advantage of the rebels' attention attracted by the crosshairs, Long Yun quickly jumped up from his ground and began to run for his life again.
The rebel charge team of more than 20 people was overwhelmed by Long Yun and the crosshair, their AK47 accuracy is not as good as MSG90, and the military quality of these rebels is average, and the shooting accuracy is even more embarrassing.
After sweeping the way, two more people fell beside him, and the officer who led the charge obviously realized that it was a wrong decision to stop shooting, and saw that the mercenaries and British soldiers on the opposite side were already very close to the earthen house.
"Don't stop! Keep rushing into that room! He waved his AK47 and yelled at his men, "Don't let those British and mercenaries into the house!" ”
At his urging, all the rebel soldiers began to get up and run again.
The crosshair pulled out a running rebel in the scope, and when the other's head appeared in the scope, he was suddenly stunned.
This is a rebel child soldier, estimated to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, with a childish face but a fierce eye, a red strip of cloth wrapped around his forehead, and a dark and thin body with an AK47 automatic rifle that glows black in the sun in his hand form a vivid visual impact.
The foresight's index finger on the trigger shook slightly, and his eyes suddenly blurred, and the last look of the dead little girl on the highway flashed in his mind.
It was a slightly childish, helpless and desperate look.
His heart was stabbed by something, and he felt a faint pain, and he couldn't help frowning.
After just a moment's hesitation, the baby soldier ran out of sight of the scope. The crosshair knew he didn't have a chance to aim again, and a sniper couldn't stay in the same position for too long, or it would invite a frantic strafing fire.
He put away his MSG90 and started running towards the house.
Long Yun led everyone to slam open the wooden courtyard door, and he heard the local sounds of the rebel officers on the other side of the courtyard, and it was obvious that the rebel soldiers had also reached the other side of the courtyard.
The compound is only more than 200 square meters in size, and the two dilapidated mud houses are all made of yellow clay bricks, which are made of yellow mud and hay, pressed out of molds and dried in the sun, which is the most economical building material in Sierra Leone.
Long Yun turned around, opened his index finger and middle finger, and made a tactical sign language of "observation" to his two eyes, and then gave instructions for "grouping" and "searching" in sign language.
There is a high and low level of military quality between the rebels and the rebels, and shouting for command in such a place is obviously revealing one's position, and using tactical sign language, you can achieve infiltration without knowing it.
Long Yun and the man's wife were in a group, the polar bear and the crosshair were in a group, and the other uninjured British soldiers were led by Lieutenant Jack to search in one direction.
Although the yard is not large, the distribution of houses is quite complicated, the main house, tool room, kitchen, and a cowshed and other places.
The crosshair and the polar bear touched the door of a house and heard the voice of the rebels inside.
The two exchanged a look, the polar bear nodded, took a grenade from his chest, and the crosshair swapped his MSG90 for a spare MP5 submachine gun.
The polar bear drew the safety of the grenade, raised three fingers, and gradually reduced it on his chest.
Three...... Two...... One......
With the last finger withdrawn, the polar bear released the safety spring, and the shrapnel jumped up with a thud and landed on the ground.
A second later, the crosshair kicked the door open, and the polar bear didn't even look at it, and slammed the grenade directly into the room, and a scream was immediately heard from inside.
Due to the deliberate delay in preparation, the grenade exploded less than a second after it was thrown into the room, and the air wave shattered everything in the house, rushing out of the door with smoke and dust.
A dizzy rebel soldier staggered out of the room, and the polar bear shot him in the back, knocking him to the ground, motionless.
The two of them began to burst into the house, one left and one right, and there were five or six rebel soldiers lying inside, some of whom were not dead, and their bodies were covered in blood from grenade shrapnel, writhing on the ground, and screaming miserably.
Phew-
Phew-
The Sight and Polar Bear re-gun every rebel who moves and can't make sure they're dead.
There were also gunshots and grenade explosions from the next door, and it was obvious that Long Yun and Lieutenant Jack had also encountered the enemy, and the whole small courtyard immediately turned yellow, and dust was flying in the air everywhere.
The crosshair signaled the polar bear to collect the ammunition on the ground, and the all-night battle had brought everyone close to running out of ammunition, but fortunately, everyone had a spare AK47 except for the crosshair, and it was very easy to replenish ammunition in such a place.
The polar bear crouched down and began to collect ammunition one by one, and the crosshair continued to walk towards another house with the MP5 in hand.
The house could be seen to be a bedroom, with a tattered bed and a dusty wardrobe, apparently uninhabited for a long time, and the crosshairs checked around and found no rebels, secretly relieved.
Suddenly, there was a clanging sound on the right, as if someone had come across something like a crockpot in a panic. The crosshair turned suddenly, and found a side door next to the house, and he slowly approached the side door, and opened a little crack with the muzzle of his gun on the side of the door.
The figure of a rebel flashed and disappeared around the corner of the wall.
The crosshair slammed out the door, chasing a few steps towards the place where the rebel soldiers had disappeared, and rounding the corner......
Going around the corner, I saw a rebel soldier squatting under the earthen wall in front of me. The soldier was holding an AK47 in his hand, and seemed to be frightened by the sound of explosions everywhere, and his body shook with each shot and explosion, and he looked very panicked, constantly looking around.
When the rebel soldiers heard the movement, they turned around with their guns raised and made a face-to-face with the crosshairs.
The crosshair was about to pull the trigger, but was suddenly stunned.
