The fierce gunfire that occasionally erupted in the dense forest rose and fell like ocean waves, but the surrounding gunfire was getting closer and closer to where Keena was lurking, which also meant that the outer warning circle was basically completely dismantled.
Only less than a hundred people came out to take action this time. I thought that these people would be enough to ambush the convoy escorted by two to three hundred people. Of course, this was indeed the case. After scrapping all the transport trucks, their mission was basically finished.
Originally, he could retreat calmly after firing a few shots, but he never expected that the other party would actually send out three batches of support. The first batch of support was actually the mine protection team from the mining area.
According to normal people's thinking, if the convoy encounters an ambush, then the mining area must be strictly guarded and take protective measures, because no matter how much ore is in the convoy and how high the value is, it may not be as profitable as robbing the mining camp.
There are not only supplies and ammunition, but also a large amount of money and a small number of gold ingots refined by local methods. Once the convoy is surrounded and eliminated, the ambushers are likely to extend their tentacles into the mining area.
But these people did not set up defenses in the mining area. Instead, they sent out all the armed forces in the mining area to support the convoy, which made it difficult for Keena.
Keep fighting... The current situation has proven that this is not the most appropriate method. Fighting with a few against the majority often ends in failure.
The battles in which the weak defeat the strong in TV movies and novels are often done when you are very lucky, by creating a formation that divides the opponent, and then forming an advantage in strength or firepower in a relatively small area. Only then do you have a slight chance. Get the chance to win more with less.
But in a battle like this, in this real environment, there is no difference between doing this and seeking death.
Retreating directly without fighting may not be the right choice. Once their firepower weakens or even disappears, the armed escorts and mine protection teams will rush up and chase them.
The mountain road is difficult to travel, and if you fight and move around, you will probably be gradually cannibalized by the opponent.
Kena suspected that the other party might have guessed their identities, and the reason why they dared to make such a desperate move was to annihilate them all here!
The situation at this time was already very critical. Kena immediately ordered the still living people to move closer to him. If the firepower points were too scattered when being besieged, the position would be easily cut by the local cavalry and then eliminated one by one.
Regardless of whether he looks down on these gold diggers and mine protection teams, he must admit that these people are the real experts in fighting in complex terrain like the west!
Only by holding together and not giving the opponent any chance to defeat each other can we discuss how long we can last.
As the encirclement becomes smaller and smaller, the position of Keena and others has been locked. The sky is getting brighter and brighter, and the sun has appeared on the hillside. When the sun completely falls, there will be no hiding place in this dense forest.
Real-life battles are not artistically processed movie novels. Once you hide in a tree, everyone will turn a blind eye like a blind man. With enough distance and a wide perspective, everyone can see through it at a glance, not to mention hiding in the tree, even if you hide in the sky.
Time passed bit by bit, and the firefight that had just subsided for a while broke out again. The convoys at the foot of the mountain and the armed militants who subsequently supported them also began to climb the mountain. The battle entered a fierce stage from the first shot.
The support team that arrived later had sophisticated equipment, and they contacted Harry through a walkie-talkie.
"The opponent has been surrounded by us on the hillside. Their resistance is very fierce, and our casualties are also heavy... What I mean is, should we persuade them to surrender?"
The person who called Harry was the captain of the Tower Shield Security Company. After a short period of rough statistics, more than two hundred people died on their side. Such heavy casualties had almost never appeared in the history of the West.
According to the current casualty pension standards of the empire, this means that the company must spend at least no less than 1.2 million and a maximum of more than 2.4 million to compensate the families of the deceased.
Not counting the medical treatment and follow-up expenses for the injured, from the beginning of this battle to the present, the company has spent no less than three million on funeral arrangements.
He also spoke to Mr. Harry out of the spirit of due diligence. The attitude of the attackers was very determined. Once the death toll in the subsequent battle increased, five million might not be enough afterwards!
But Harry was determined, and he was betting that he could hurt Du Lin this time, so that Du Lin would understand that there were many people in the empire that he could not afford to offend.
Besides, if they want compensation here, Du Lin doesn’t need pensions
Those who died on the company's side were all ordinary employees, and it would be enough to hire a few more after they died, but those who died on Du Lin's side were all his confidants, which could no longer be measured by money.
He ignored this request and only told the captain of the unit to fight and continue to fight until there were only a few people left there before discussing the issue of surrender.
After the plan failed, the captain of the team could only fulfill his responsibilities, and more people poured into the dense forest to surround the final encirclement.
After more than ten minutes of resistance, the number of team members in the encirclement, which had been reduced sharply, was reduced to only about 20, and the gunfire was not as fierce as before.
Keena was gasping for breath. He was shot several times. At this moment, the most real feeling in his heart was to thank his mother.
People in the town have always said that his old mother had an affair with a dragon, which is why she gave birth to monster sons like them, who are rough-skinned and fleshy, and can lift roofs off in their teens.
If there hadn't been such a love affair that spanned races and I don't know if it really existed, let's just assume that it did exist. Keena might be dead now.
The most dangerous shot penetrated his abdomen. Except for some pain and a pale face, he was fine at this time. It must be the blood of the dragon that was causing trouble.
There were fewer and fewer team members around, but there were more and more enemies in the woods. Keena looked at a young man next to him who was several years younger than him, with a bloody face, and suddenly asked, "Are you afraid of death?" ?”
The young man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "I'm not afraid!"
The surviving companions around them all looked at them, and Kena asked, "Why aren't you afraid?"
The young man grinned and said, "I don't have much ability. If Savigo hadn't taken a fancy to me and the boss had taken a fancy to me, I might still be in jail now."
"Anyway, there are many brothers and sisters in the family, so it doesn't matter if I am missing one. And after my death, I heard that the family members were well treated, so I can be considered as having contributed to this family."
Keena laughed. In fact, there are many young men like him here. Most of them came out of Tenel in the early years and have been following Dulin in obscurity.
In fact, if there is anything remarkable about Du Lin, it is not necessarily true. He just did something that many people think is ordinary.
He gave these people a glimmer of light in the darkest moments of their lives, a glimmer of hope when they were most desperate, and extended his arm when they were most helpless.
But these actions, which others may view as stupid and childish, have saved countless families and given them dignity.
Dulin makes them not need to bend down and lower their heads like dogs to live in this society, and there is no need to look for other people's discarded clothes and leftover food in the trash.
So that their sisters don't have to do some disgusting jobs in exchange for a meager amount of money to ensure that the family can survive.
He gave them light, gave them hope, made them stand up, and gave them dignity as human beings!
He gave them everything they need to live in this society as human beings!
Then, dying for Dulin is not a tragedy, but a kind of glory and a kind of sacredness.
People who have not been in hell will never understand their desire for light and freedom. In order to crawl out of hell, they are willing to give everything.
Kena took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on the young man's face, showing his big white teeth when he smiled, "Then fight until the moment of death!"
The sound of the firefight that had almost subsided resounded throughout the valley again. This group of attackers, who had been besieged until the end of the siege, actually launched a breakout, which sent a chill to the hearts of those who were beaten.
Seeing that the opponent's last gun could only emit wisps of steam, and when there were no more bullets, everyone's tense nerves relaxed.
This bone, which was the hardest to chew, was finally broken by them.
The captain of the team came up from the bottom of the mountain, looked at the people standing together, silently, raised his arms, and everyone around him raised his guns.
In fact, by this point in the battle, both sides have long been numb to life and death. Apart from a trace of respect in their hearts, there is no more extra emotion.
The captain of the team was also born a gold digger. He was very emotional at this moment. If the gold diggers could unite like these people and fight to the last man, Ambiluo State and even the entire west would not be like today. Hang out with losers.
The moment he opened his mouth to say the word "shoot", some shadows blocked the light.
They looked up at the sentry platform, which was more than ten meters high, appearing on the top of the hillside not far away, and their minds went blank.
This kind of weapon, which is only used to suppress riots in occupied areas, actually appears here. Could it be that the company has sent a fourth batch of additional personnel
But these things are not something ordinary companies can own, let alone pull them out!
The next second, eighty small-caliber cannons fired at the same time, and streaks of light erupted from the muzzles, falling like rain on the dense forest.
In all the places covered by rain, limbs were flying, vegetation was broken, and there were not even screams.
