Around twelve o'clock in the evening, on the edge of Xinlai.
Xing Yao led his reinforced Fourth Battalion and, after a period of fighting, eliminated the enemy stationed outside the Red Building.
However, after clearing the external firing points and officially entering the vicinity of the Red Building, they encountered very tenacious defense.
As soon as Xing Yao led the infantry company in, he felt that the atmosphere here was a little strange. The defense points in the entire building were very fixed, and it didn't look like they were made temporarily.
Including the location of these defense zones, the reinforcement methods, and the bunkers built with military steel plates, it is very professional and obviously a defense zone that has been carefully arranged long ago.
Several companies under Xing Yao's command were spontaneously organized to attack various defensive points. However, the enemy's firepower was also fierce, with machine guns and grenades desperately firing outward, forming a dense firepower network.
This combat style is completely different from those warlord soldiers who just shot blindly with guns. The overall combat effectiveness has been improved by more than one level!
At this time, in front of Xing Yao was the second platoon, the most ferocious fighter in the entire battalion, who were frantically attacking a staircase. The two sides engaged in a fierce exchange of fire, and the sound of gunfire was very chaotic.
“Ahhh!”
At the defensive position, a black man grabbed a machine gun, roared, and fired a row of dense bullets downwards, preventing the soldiers in the second row from advancing.
"Sniper, shoot him down for me!"
The platoon leader of the second platoon shouted into the communicator, gave the order, and the sniper squatting in the distance took aim at the enemy and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
“Puff!”
With a gunshot, the black man's head smashed like a watermelon and his body flew backwards!
But just as he fell, another black soldier rushed up, set up the machine gun again, and started firing at the outside again without regard for his life.
At this time, Xing Yao was squatting outside the gate. Seeing this scene, his brows were frowned. He felt that this group of enemy troops were like they had taken stimulants.
"Xing Ying, Xiao Xing!"
At this moment, the deputy regiment commander, Lao Qian, came over with his automatic rifle, squatted beside Xing Yao, and shouted at him, "Fuck, we seem to have set up a wrong position! Look at the firepower points on the first and second floors, and the equipment they are using. This... doesn't look like a group of defeated troops!"
Xing Yao wiped the dust off his face and cursed angrily: "I saw something was wrong a long time ago! I feel like we're in trouble this time!"
“Da da da!”
A row of bullets swept over, hitting the wall and splashing a row of dirt.
The two men quickly lowered their heads. Lao Qian lay on the ground, holding his helmet and yelling, "Xiao Xing, what do you think? Are you still going to fight?"
"Of course we have to fight!" Xing Yao narrowed his bright eyes and responded softly, "We thought they were the defeated army, and they thought we were the troops that were going to attack the Red Tower, so they bit us like red eyes! Both sides misunderstood the intention of the battle and started fighting in a daze. However, the reason why they bit so hard and the defense here is so strong shows that this place is not simple!"
Xing Yao then pulled Lao Qian over and pointed to the main staircase on the first floor in front and shouted, "See? The defense here is the strongest! We've charged in three or four times, but we still couldn't get in! Damn, those black soldiers are like they took drugs."
Old Qian followed the line of sight and looked towards the main staircase.
A large steel bunker was set up there, and a machine gun was set up at the stairwell, firing wildly outside, the barrel of the gun was already red from being shot. A large number of defenders leaned against the bunker, not retreating an inch, and repeatedly resisted the attacks of the second row.
"RPG! Keep fighting!"
After being beaten back several times, the second platoon leader's eyes turned red with anger, and he pointed at the firing point and yelled.
Two infantrymen stepped forward, holding RPGs, and fired two rockets with two bangs!
“Boom boom!”
The missile exploded, but it only bent the steel plate of the bunker a little, and two defenders were also blown away. But in the blink of an eye, more defenders filled the vacant positions, continued to open fire, and counterattacked the second row.
"Pull back and keep shooting!"
Just as the second platoon leader was preparing for the second round of bombing, a dozen prisoners wearing different military uniforms suddenly rushed out from the main building.
The prisoners had C4 strapped to their bodies and had guns pointed at their backs. The defenders pushed them and shouted something in the local language.
“Ahhh!”
Soon, these prisoners, pale-faced, covered in cold sweat, rushed down from the upstairs, roaring!
"Quick, stop them, don't let them come over!" The second platoon leader's eyebrows twitched wildly. He held his gun and shot while shouting at the soldiers around him.
“Da da da!”
A row of bullets swept past, and several prisoners fell in a pool of blood. However, two prisoners still let out desperate cries and rushed into the crowd.
“Boom boom!”
Two violent explosions sounded, and three soldiers were affected by the blasts and fell to the ground, seriously injured, and lying on the ground wailing. In order to cover a young soldier, the second platoon leader was torn to pieces by the explosion, and his body was scattered on the ground in a mess, with blood all over the ground.
"Xiao Zhao!"
Seeing his old comrade die in front of him, Xing Yao's eyes turned red! He clenched his fists, controlled his surging anger, and glanced around.
Outside the Red Building, an armored vehicle emitting black smoke caught his eye.
This armored vehicle must have been damaged before. Its tracks were broken and it was parked at an angle on the side of the road with several corpses lying on it.
Xing Yao yelled at the top of his lungs, "Second Platoon, stop charging and draw the enemy's fire! Engineers! Check the condition of this armored vehicle! Quick!"
"yes!"
Several engineers quickly ran over and pulled the bodies off the armored vehicle. Some soldiers got inside, while others lay on the ground to check.
Soon, the platoon leader of the engineering platoon came running over, saluted Xing Yao and said, "The armored vehicle is intact, only the track is damaged. It can be put into use after repair!"
"I'll give you five minutes to carry out emergency repairs!" Xing Yao gave the order quickly.
"yes!"
The entire engineering platoon quickly sprang into action. They moved so quickly that they dug out the repair tools from underneath the armored vehicle.
Then, two engineers quickly put a jack under the vehicle and lifted the vehicle body with a few clicks. The remaining engineers pulled the tracks and re-bolted them, then took out the spare materials in the armored vehicle and re-welded the tracks to repair them.
These engineers were extremely fast, and in less than three minutes, the tracks of the armored vehicle were repaired. Although they couldn't move for a long time, it was enough for a short period of time in combat.
The engineer platoon leader ran back again, saluted Xing Yao, and shouted with a flushed face: "Report! The armored vehicle has been repaired!"
"Demolition Platoon, cover the walls on both sides of the gate with explosives!"
Xing Yao gave the order again.
"yes!"
Several soldiers quickly stepped forward, and with a few snaps, they pasted two rows of explosives on both sides of the walls of the gate!
Xing Yao clenched his fists and yelled at the top of his voice, "Blow up the gate! Push up the armored vehicles, get stuck at the door and attack!"
"yes!"
“Boom, boom!”
As the detonator was pressed, violent explosions sounded one after another! Both sides of the gate were blown open, revealing a huge gap!
Xing Yao pointed at the gate and shouted angrily: "Armored vehicles! Go in! Quickly!"
“Boom boom!”
The entire armored vehicle was emitting black smoke and rushing towards the Red Building with the roar of the motor!
“Bang!”
Before the soldiers defending in the building could react, the armored vehicle had already rushed into the stairs, crashed headfirst and landed at the bottom of the steps with a loud bang!
“Da da da!”
“Dangdangdang!”
The guards suddenly woke up and pulled the trigger at the armored vehicle. The bullets landed on the thick armor, splashing golden sparks.
"Bang!"
Lao Qian, who was hiding in the car, pushed open the top cover, grabbed the machine gun mounted on it, and with bloodshot eyes, he pulled the trigger at the defenders in front of him: "Fuck you!"
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Large-caliber shells were fired out, and no matter whether it was the guards or the steel plates, they were all like paper and were directly blown up.
The second platoon and other troops followed the armored vehicles and rushed in, firing at the guards.
"M, I'll smash them all to pieces!"
As Lao Qian got angry, the machine guns fired their ammunition crazily. In just a dozen seconds, all the steel plates were rotten, and even the wall behind was broken. The ground was full of incomplete bodies, blood and minced meat everywhere.
"Surrender, we surrender!"
The remaining dozen or so defenders were completely terrified and cried for surrender.
"Vote for your horse!!"
But at this moment, Lao Qian saw the bloody bodies of his soldiers near the stairs, and his eyes were already blood-thirsty. He grabbed the machine gun and continued to pull the trigger!
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Another row of ammunition swept over, and the bodies of the surrendering soldiers were blown up one after another, leaving bright red blood on the stairs. Two people climbed upstairs using their hands and feet, but were shot dead on the spot by Xing Yao with his automatic rifle!
It was unknown how long the fight lasted. Xing Yao climbed up, slapped Lao Qian hard, and shouted at him, "Lao Qian, Lao Qian! Stop it, everyone is dead!"
"Kaka..."
The bullets had been used up. Old Qian's palms felt numb. He let go of the machine gun and leaned weakly against the armored vehicle.
Xing Yao stretched out his hand and pulled him off the armored vehicle.
At the same time, the troops of the reinforced Fourth Battalion began to move towards this side, and at the same time, they quickly approached the upstairs along the opened gap.
Soon, a door on the second floor was pushed open.
Inside the door, more than twenty people, dressed in luxurious clothes but looking extremely miserable, were squatting on the ground, shivering.
One of the middle-aged men, speaking in broken Chinese, kept begging: "Don't kill us, we surrender, surrender..."
The reconnaissance company commander saw these people and recognized their identities at a glance. He quickly picked up the communicator and shouted to Xing Yao excitedly: "Report to the battalion commander! We really caught a big fish this time!!"
