Chapter 2507: Treacherous battle

Lin Rui and the others retreated to the outskirts of Alkahn. This was already the last line of defense outside the city, and the strongest one. Most of the deep-dug trenches and reinforced concrete hidden forts were previously built and some were recently reinforced. Countries ruled by warlords usually fight frequently, and many large towns have built many fortifications. Because almost every warlord came to power is accompanied by a storm.
After Logan came to power, he did nothing less than damaging things. There are also many resistance organizations that are making trouble for him, so there are many fortifications around Alkane. After the war started, the work here has not been interrupted. Recently, the whole city has been mobilized, and many people voluntarily or are forced to work here to reinforce various fortifications for the government forces.
The side of the fortifications were filled with thick layers of sandbags, and the air was full of the smell of dust, gunpowder and gasoline. Lin Rui sat on a rusty oil drum, smoking that lucky cigarette, and the other team members also sat around him.
On the other side is where the dead bodies are piled up. The corpses of the mercenaries and Anmor soldiers who died in the battle were carried over one after another, doused with gasoline and burned.
That smell is very bad. But there is no other way, these corpses must be disposed of in time. Otherwise, it will be worse. Once the corpse decays, it is likely to cause epidemics. With the medical conditions here in Alkahn, this would be a disaster. War, famine and disease are the three major disasters that have plagued Africa for a long time. Compared with war, disease is not easy for Africa.
The war can take away most of the soldiers' lives, while diseases... more people who suffer are the elderly, women, and children with weaker physical resistance. Once the plague of Alkane spreads, the Anmor people will be more powerless to resist the enemy.
Lin Rui lowered his head to smoke. He was not a rookie who experienced this kind of scene for the first time. But he still didn't want to watch those comrades who had fought side by side, being doused with gasoline. Such a scene always makes him feel a little emotional about the impermanence of life. Although as mercenaries, they face death every day.
Sausage walked to his side, asked Lin Rui for a cigarette, and smoked silently.
Lin Rui turned his head and glanced at him, "You seem to rarely smoke."
"He's a German." Sergey shook his head. "The Germans in the movie pretend to be cool except for blondes and blue eyes. He rarely smokes."
"It's like the Russians in the movie are all drunks." Sausage replied. "Damn Hollywood war blockbusters. They always portray Germans as classic Nazis. They have a stern face, unruffled hair, and meticulous work like a robot. You have never been to Germany at all. You have never been to Germany. Has anyone been like this?"
"Don't mind, it's just American ridicule." Crazy Horse laughed and touched the wound on his neck. "In the movie, the Russians are big drunks, the Germans are the hateful Nazis, and the British are old-fashioned. Only the brave cowboy is a symbol of the United States. As an American, I have to say that this is really nonsense. logic."
The mercenaries were all laughing, but Lin Rui didn't. He just turned his head and looked at the fire in the distance, and whispered, "What batch is this?"
"There are many more, they won't be burned until dark tomorrow." Scarface whispered. "The teaching team lost more than half. Peng, suffered a minor injury. But Tagore's luck was not so good. A piece of shrapnel hit his left arm, and he was almost disabled. Those Ugandans under the Black Panther Gure, The loss is not small."
"The total number of casualties is over a thousand, right? In order to eliminate the leading army armed with the secret society, we really lost enough." Lin Rui whispered.
"Unfortunately, it hasn't been completely eliminated yet." Scarface whispered.
Lin Rui nodded and suddenly stood up and pressed the communication headset on his ear. Frowned, "I am. Okay, I'll come right now."
"What's wrong, boss?" Sergey frowned.
"It's nothing, Kadom asked me to go to the headquarters." Lin Rui walked over and patted him on the shoulder. "You guys will take care of the things here, and I will be back soon."
"I'll go with you." Yelena stood up and said.
Lin Rui hesitated and shook his head, "It's okay, but there shouldn't be any major issues, we will be back soon." He threw out the cigarette in his mouth, turned around and walked towards the headquarters with Yelena.
"Xiaofeng, what do you think will happen?" Sergey turned to ask Xiaofeng.
"I don't know, it may be the next tactical deployment." Xiao Feng shook his head. "I don't care about this. I just want to find a place to sleep. I suggest you do the same, because the next A few days, I am afraid it will be very long."
"Let's see, this is the wise man." Crazy Horse leaned against the sandbag and closed his eyes.
Although a victory has just been achieved, the atmosphere is still very tense at the Anmor Coalition Command. Because General Kadom has received intelligence from the reconnaissance force, the large number of troops armed by the secret agency has approached. Some troops have entered the enemy's position. According to reliable sources, the armed forces of the secret society will be more than the number of the Anmore garrison. Because this time it is no longer a simple secret society armed forces, they also have the support of two regiments of the Orumi Federal Army.
General Kadom dared not neglect, and immediately called an emergency military meeting to discuss countermeasures.
"Gentlemen, we are in trouble. Originally, because of the joining of the Fifth Army, we had an advantage in comparison with the enemy's forces. But now according to our intelligence, the two Marines of the Orumi Federal Army have just joined them. Judging from the designations of these two marine regiments, they were two elite marine regiments withdrawn from the southern front to directly reinforce the western front." General Kadom whispered.
"The enemy forces on the southern front will directly reinforce the western front?" Lin Rui frowned, "but they are on the southern front line and are losing ground. At this time, instead of increasing their troops, they will deploy two elite troops to reinforce the western front?"
"Yes, this is the crux of the problem." Kadom said in silence for a while, "Gentlemen, this means that they have ignored the safety of the Southern Headquarters and insisted on taking us and directly attacking Anmore City."
Jiang An nodded, "Anmore City is the last temporary capital that the Anmor people will hold fast, and it is also the headquarters of Anmor's Northern Allied Forces. Once it is captured, its symbolic meaning is completely greater than its actual meaning. The war can almost be declared over. On the other hand, at this time, the secret society militants have also completely lost their patience, and they are going to fight us hard."
"I'm afraid it's not just that." Lin Rui suddenly said, and everyone in the room looked at him.
