Chapter 28: Think tank

Lin Rui looked back at Qin Fen and Chen Nanqing, and whispered, "Have you all heard?" Qin Fen and Chen Nanqing both nodded silently. Le-wen-
"Crazy Tang and other teams are rushing over, but we can only rely on ourselves before this." Lin Rui paused, "Now we can't stay in the fortress anymore, we must try to rush out. As long as we manage to get through. After the river, it’s safe. But there is an open field and a minefield."
"If it were me, I would rather die here and don't want to step on the minefield." Chen Nanqing shook his head.
Lin Rui understood what he meant. This kind of anti-infantry mine is an extremely vicious weapon. It is mainly used for defense, protecting strategic targets such as border barracks or important bridges, and restricting enemy movement. Their key feature is to kill, not kill enemy soldiers. The logic is that dealing with a wounded soldier on the battlefield requires more resources than a dead soldier. So being bombed by this type of landmine is absolutely indestructible for a while. But crueler than death is that you have to drag a broken leg forward on the battlefield.
Qin Fen was about to talk when he suddenly heard a voice coming from the communication headset, "Give Lin Rui your helmet, I want to talk to him." The voice was calm and cold, it was Michelle.
Qin Fen's face changed, he took off his helmet and handed it to Lin Rui, whispering, "It's Mr. Mi."
Lin Rui frowned slightly and took it.
"Lin Rui, I understand your anger. After completing the task, I lost my support. Instead, I was trapped in a siege. I would be just as angry if I changed it. But this anger will not save you, but will make you lose your composure. Think and judge. Remember, Lin Rui, I don’t want any of you to die. If I don’t care about your life and death, in fact, after you complete the set goals, you can completely ignore you. But I don’t. Because you are mine. Comrade-in-arms. Likewise, I am also your comrade-in-arms. I trust you without reservation, but only ask you to believe me once." Michelle calmly said.
"What do you believe in?" Lin Rui said calmly, "I believe you will save us?"
"Yes, I will save you." Michelle said in a deep voice. "From now on, if you completely obey my command, you have the hope of living."
"Tell us what to do?" Lin Rui said solemnly.
"First you have to pick up the helmet and put it on, and then take your team to evacuate from the southeast corner. Don't think about passing through the minefield, it is not realistic at all. Only relying on the ruins of the old buildings in the southeast corner and dealing with the opponent can you win More time. Once relying on the terrain to start street fighting guerrillas, the opponent's numerical advantage is difficult to realize. But you must be careful, Israeli mercenaries are very good at this combat style." Michelle said solemnly.
"Even so, we won't be able to hold on for long. Two of us are injured, one is missing, and Ahu is still on the periphery, but he can't get in at the current situation." Lin Rui shook his head and said, "I want to rely on three people to withstand it. Gross's offensive is crazy."
"I just want Gross to think you are crazy. As long as you persist for more than ten minutes, I can try to help you." Michelle said solemnly, "Trust me, there is a way."
"Through the actuary?" Lin Rui frowned slightly.
Michel didn't say it clearly, but just said indifferently, "When the time comes, you will understand. Now, take the person with you to the southeast, looking for all possible concealment. In any case, you must not stop."
Lin Rui was silent for a while, looked at Chen Nanqing, then at the injured Qin Fen, and took a deep breath, "Understood, it's over." He took off his helmet and threw it to Qin Fen, then picked it up from the ground. Own helmet, whispered, "Let's go and hide to the southeast."
There is a large area of ​​ruins to the southeast of this military fortress. It should have been a small town, but it was destroyed by war. Only some dilapidated concrete buildings and rusty vehicle wrecks were left standing there in a mess. It looks completely dilapidated, but the floor area is really not small. If the three of them can get there safely, then using the ruins to deal with the enemy is a way to delay time and wait for backup.
Lin Rui pressed his hand on the wound on his body, still suffering from a piercing pain. Because of the medication, the blood has basically stopped, but the severe pain of the wound still makes his eyebrows frown.
"I have some medicine here." Chen Nanqing handed him the first aid kit.
"Forget it, painkillers will affect the speed of reaction." Lin Rui waved his hand at him, "I would rather hurt a little, but it's clear enough. Qin Fen, how are you?"
"I just hurt one hand, it doesn't affect my ability to move." Qin Fen shook his head.
Lin Rui nodded and said, "The ruins in the southeast are not far from the sniper tower. I think if Peng Lefeng is not dead, he will definitely be there. After all, this is the only place around here that can provide cover. When we passed by Be careful, maybe you can meet him. Let's go." The three people carefully continued forward along the broken concrete road, walking through the ruins.
During the period, they encountered mercenaries who searched for them twice, and they escaped smoothly once. But another time, there was a fierce exchange of fire. This was really not the result Lin Rui wanted to see, he knew very well in his heart, once there was an exchange of fire. It is equivalent to telling Gross where he and others are.
Gross has received the news in the fortress command room. Due to the destruction of the satellite communication base station, he can now only command through a temporary radio frequency band. He snarled with the radio, "They hid in the ruins? Well, anyway, catch me the mice! I only want the results, as long as their corpses!"
Mr. Jiang, who was sitting aside, smiled and said, "It seems that your people have pushed them to a desperate situation. However, I seem to have to remind you. Mr. Gross, your emotions are a bit out of control. These few rookie students have almost nothing. No matter how hard it takes, it will pull a lot of your defensive power."
"What do you want to say? Say I was led by the nose by these little rookies?" Gross sneered.
Mr. Jiang said indifferently,
As a veteran mercenary and team leader, you have made such a major mistake. It is really difficult to accept emotionally. However, what I want to say is that a smart military commander will not be emotional Whatever you want. Even if you hate them again and want to kill them again. You shouldn’t neglect the overall mission. Don’t forget, your main mission is to keep here for 72 hours. Not to kill those insignificant Young man."
"I don't care about Laozi's business!" Gross shouted sharply.
"I represent the interests of employers. If your actions endanger this mission, I may not be able to remain silent." Mr. Jiang smiled.
Gross raised his hand and pointed the gun at Mr. Jiang, "Dare you say it again?"
"Of course I dare to say it a hundred times again. Instead of spending a lot of time chasing after the few escaped newcomer mercenaries, it is better to consolidate the defense line. Although we lost the main entrance, we can also strengthen the defense of the main building of the fortress." Jiang The gentleman marked on the architectural drawing, "I have seen your firepower layout. Here and here are slightly weak and need to be strengthened. Adjusting your sniper here can increase the defensive radius."
Gross looked at the picture and frowned for a long time before saying, "Well, it seems to make sense, I will consider it."
"It's not considering, but doing it." Mr. Jiang suddenly said coldly, "Have you ever thought about why the front gate defense has been destroyed, but the other party hasn't moved? Under normal circumstances, they should be taking advantage of the chaos. It’s only right to get in with the infiltration team. But until now, except for those few infiltration team members who have appeared from time to time, the rest of the opponent has hardly moved. Do you think this is normal?"
"This..." Gross groaned a little, "Maybe it's because they don't have many people, so they dare not attack frontally. First, use a small team to attract our attention."
Mr. Jiang smiled and said, "According to my information, they have a total of six teams, a total of thirty or forty people. That's right, compared to your fifty-odd people, it is a bit weaker. But the previous round of infiltration In the raid, how much did you cut in total?"
"Seven...seven or eight." Gross said helplessly.
"As far as I know, there are only the number of guards involved in the defense mission at the front door. In addition, because of the pursuit of those few people, they have lost some more. Your troops have been reduced by more than 13 people. Now your number of personnel is increasing. They are already on par with them, and coupled with the recent attack, morale is frustrated. You are now at a clear disadvantage, Gross." Mr. Jiang lightly turned his laptop to him, "From the analysis of various data, Your winning percentage is already behind the opponent."
Gross frowned, "Then why do you say they delayed the attack?"
"They are waiting for an opportunity." Mr. Jiang calmly said, "First use the infiltrating squad to continuously consume and delay you. When your mind becomes less and less calm, there will be errors in command judgment. That is When they take action against you, they go to war and attack their hearts. This is a psychological offensive."
Gross was startled slightly, "What kind of mistake will I make?"
"It's the mistake like this, staring at the few people who sneaked into the fortress, but ignoring the real threat that is coming. It's like playing chess. Those who stare at the part and ignore the whole can never win." Mr. Jiang talked eloquently, looking like a military theory expert with a commanding command.
Gross waved his hand impatiently, "So what should I do from your point of view? They killed a dozen of my team members before and after, just let them go?"
"Who are you, a professional soldier or a bandit and gangster? If you are a gangster, then it doesn’t matter. You can ignore your mission, leave this military fortress, and bring your brothers to flock to them, trapping those new recruits to death. Killed to solve your uncle Gross's hatred. But if you really want to do this, then you will never want to get mixed up in the mercenary world." Mr. Jiang said indifferently.
"Huh, what do you mean? Is it possible for your Morningstar company to keep me out of Gross?" Gross sneered.
Mr. Jiang shook his head and smiled, "You are notoriously unfaithful. You can be said to be infamous in the mercenary world, but at least you have done a good job. So you can barely get mixed up. If you ignore the mission, Just acting on your own preferences, who else do you think would be willing to hire such a person? Mercenaries are a business, and business depends on credibility."
