Chapter 4271: Bloody highway

"Reporter sir, there was a violent attack ahead. Someone ambushed us on both sides of the highway." A report from a member of the Red Devil Army came from the communicator.
"Blocking?" The officer of the Red Devil Army frowned slightly. "It's those militiamen? No, that's not right! These militiamen are currently trapped in Palimo, and we have not received any news about the attack on the troops. Immediately organize a counterattack on the spot."
The positions of Lin Rui and others on both sides are very strong. Their fortifications are mostly built along roads, and they are used to form several lines of defense. They are equipped with heavy firearms. The mercenaries under them are also a very powerful and powerful force.
The smoke bombs prepared in advance exploded, and the smoke screen was like a veil, completely obscuring the sight of the Red Devil troops.
"Hit!" Lin Rui gave an order, raining bullets swept toward the enemy, and grenades bloomed in the enemy's formation. After the Red Devil's troops were suddenly attacked, they couldn't tell their direction for a while, so they had to retreat temporarily to stabilize their defenses.
However, the Red Devil's forces had superb response capabilities, and soon stabilized their positions after being attacked, and stubbornly began to attack the flank positions. The infantry began to call out the infantry to support the firepower, but the artillery could not find the bombing target in the veil-like smoke, and most of the artillery shells did not explode on the position.
The vehicle-mounted machine guns of the Red Devil's forces concentrated their firepower and launched a charge again and again in an attempt to break through.
The nearest forward assault position was only two hundred meters away from the enemy. The mud lifted up by the shells was like thick smoke and fog, and the dense shells collapsed part of the fortifications. The guns exploded so that people couldn't raise their heads. An enemy shell fell on the ground. After the explosion, there were stumps and limbs everywhere, and a lot of blood accumulated in the trenches.
"Enemy armor." A mercenary shouted in a low voice, then grabbed the anti-tank rocket launcher and launched it with the roar of the armored vehicle. A huge ball of fire exploded in the smoke.
When the day was about to dawn, after a night of fierce battle, the entire front appeared to be more chaotic in the haze. The joints of many positions were forcibly broken by the enemy, and the infantry on both sides remained in the more defensive areas Exchanging fire violently.
The Red Devil Army probably didn't expect Palimo, the line of defense that was almost on the verge of collapse, to have such a tenacious resistance, and even make them beaten to blood.
Several armored vehicles of the Red Devil Army had just recovered a little disadvantage, and the artillery fire came again in a blink of an eye, and the shelling by the mercenaries began. The mortar shells roared across the defense line at low altitude, shaking the falling shells and igniting the entire highway into a sea of ​​flames again.
Amid the fierce artillery fire, a large number of mercenaries began to gather along the highway. Although bullets and shells continued to roar down in the sky, these desperadoes were still gathering bravely.
The morning sun was already on the horizon, bright red, like a Hao mirror hanging above the clouds, fading the warm gold. However, the blazing flames on the ground rose to the sky, covering the Xiahui that had passed the red sun. The plumes of smoke rising from the ground floated between the sky and the earth, unable to escape for a long time.
Almost the entire road leading to Palimo is burning, and some of the positions built before are now all rubble.
The temporary bunkers were razed to the ground, and the powerful shells were enough to blow up these simple bunkers. The observation post where Lin Rui and others were hiding also collapsed a lot at this time, and there was burnt black everywhere. The air was full of choking smells.
The members of the Red Devil Army seem to have never felt fear, as if attacking, attacking, and attacking again were their rhythms.
The front charged in groups, and the mortar fire at the rear crashed down, blowing up fireworks into the sky. And under the cover of this fierce air raid, there were hordes of advancing armed vehicles and surging soldiers.
The fierce battle is still going on, no one knows what the outcome will be if it continues like this. In just a few hours, this road blockade caused many mercenaries to be seriously injured in the battle, with more than 200 casualties.
The Red Devil troops were the one that was ambushed, and their casualties should have been more, but these people were like beasts that smelled blood.
Although this highway was ultimately firmly in the hands of the mercenaries, as the line of defense in the south direction was breached at noon, if this continued, this highway would certainly not last long.
Lin Rui knew very well that if the frontal blocking position was breached by the enemy, these dangerous enemies would be forced into Palimo, and the positions on Palimo's flanks would be attacked back and forth. The entire flanks of the defensive positions were exposed to the Red Devil's guns. Under the mouth.
And this is also the main reason why he tried his best to avoid, and even took the initiative to stop the enemy army. Starting from dawn, the entire east highway line of guns continued to sound, and there were heavy smoke and fire everywhere.
Lin Rui knew that the critical moment had come. But at this time, there was another report from the wireless headset that the right wing of the highway lost its position due to the violent impact of the enemy, and it was slightly shaken.
The troops of Kuai Ma and others suffered setbacks in the east due to the blocking army and began to retreat. In view of the failure of several attacks, the Red Devil troops temporarily retreated, regrouped, and attacked the middle road with elite troops.
Lin Ruiyuan originally planned to instigate a counterattack, but after deliberation, he thought that the troops were extremely tired and had lost their attack power, so he had to give up temporarily.
"Boss, these guys from the Red Devil Army are too fierce. They really can't. Let's withdraw." Sausage leaned over and whispered.
"Retreat is also a dead end. We will be blocked in Palimo City, and they will completely encircle us." Lin Rui shook his head. "You can only use this breathing opportunity to retreat a certain distance to reorganize the defense. Never let them get close to Palimo."
He turned around and said, "Remove a few heavy firepower points first, and reorganize the defensive position behind. In addition, a part of the enemy must be left to block the enemy so that the enemy cannot detect that we are retreating and reorganizing the defense line."
"I will stay." Quickly nodded, "Positional defensive warfare, I am better at it."
"Yes, but I can only keep two hundred people for you." Lin Rui looked at him, "If I survive, I will invite you to drink."
"Drink until you vomit." Kuaima smiled unusually. The dirt and sweat on his face had messed up his face, but his teeth were very white. This makes him look a bit like a wild dog in the African desert.
Lin Rui patted him again and then ordered a temporary retreat. Kuaima took over the position. In order to cover the retreat of the troops, they used intensive firepower to almost open the front of the enemy's position.
A rush of firepower attacked, and under the suppression of the firepower of the mortar, the Red Devil troops temporarily stopped the large-scale charge. After all, their casualties were greater than those of Lin Rui and others. This also gave Lin Rui and others time to reorganize their defenses.
