Chapter 99, Tactical interludes
In the middle of a fight, the consequences of getting your ass slapped can be disastrous.
Behind those mobs, after being attacked from two directions by the two infantry platoons led by Cody, there was basically no effective resistance.
If it weren't for the people from the 3rd Battalion in the front, who were not sure what was going on behind them, and who had focused on guarding against grain trucks, and didn't have time to cooperate, if they also launched an attack from the front at the same time, those thugs would collapse even faster Some.
But even if it doesn't, it's not a big problem.
Objectively speaking, Cody feels that the military skill level of the team he leads now is still far behind that of his old army.But better than that mob, and better equipped with weapons.
After all, it's not an iron-barrel rifle.
At the same time, after realizing that among the enemies, cultists who could release storm bombs were the biggest threat, he focused on those two enemies.
He found out the soldiers with the most advanced thinking and the ability to fight tough battles under his command, and then led him personally to pick out those cultists to fight.
This method must be used to fight tough battles.
And when he led people to kill the two magicians, there was no suspense in the battle.
The rest of the thugs were either killed or fled.
Cody didn't lead anyone to chase, but led the team and approached the grain transportation team.
The soldiers in charge of the escort were still very cautious and did not let them approach.It wasn't until Cody showed his head that the soldiers on the opposite side found someone they knew, so they let down their vigilance.
After exchanging the secret words, Cody left a platoon behind, took the 17 people who were still alive in the original escort team, and took the wounded, and headed for the No. [-] distribution center they were in charge of.
To ensure that the food can be delivered first, it can also ensure the normal operation of the dozen or so food distribution points corresponding to the No. 2 distribution center.
Then, there are two platoons over there, as well as the escort team, which can also ensure safety as much as possible.
As for Cody himself...
He pulled the brim of his hat, listening to the intense gunshots from afar.
His battle is not over.
"We continue to set off! There are more comrades who need our support!"
"Yes!" The soldiers had just won a victory, and their morale was high.
...
Cody quickly led the troops to a new battlefield.
The battle situation here is much more problematic than the one he just solved.
Here, it should be on the No. 3 distribution center transportation route.A group of thugs have already occupied the convoy.The number of this group of thugs was more than the ones we encountered before, probably as many as two hundred people; and the proportion of cultists among them was also more. Cody saw five at a cursory glance.
He knows how troublesome it is to deal with such a guy who can release magic.The bullets hit their storm shields, and it took at least three magazines to be emptied before they could penetrate; and a wind bullet from the opponent hit them like a grenade.What's more, there are a considerable number of armed mobs beside him to provide protection.
Looking at it this way, the infantry platoon responsible for escorting the food is probably finished.Regardless of whether it was the complete annihilation, or someone who was defeated and became a deserter, in short, we can't count on it.
And there are also two infantry platoons, supported from the No. 3 distribution center.The person who led the team, whom Cody still knew, was also a 'red hat' political commissar.
But the enemy they faced was too strong, and they couldn't get in at all.
All they can do is to maintain the front line and ensure that the enemy cannot break out.
But the number is not dominant, and the opponent has the help of a magician, and their own side is wary, even if they have a few mortars in their hands, they don't dare to shoot, for fear of destroying the food.
In this case, their front is a bit precarious.
Cody immediately led the troops and went up.
He and the new force of dozens of people he brought to the scene eased the situation to a great extent.
In the midst of the fight, Cody finds another red hat.
"Taddius! Thaddius!"
"Cody?"
The red hat turned his head, a little surprised.
Cody didn't have time to talk about the past, he immediately said the reason: "This way of fighting is not good, our guns need to be used!"
"But those grain carts..."
"Don't worry so much! Win first and then talk about the food!" Cody said, pointing out, "Look there! Someone is pouring fuel, and they want to burn the food! Don't let them succeed!"
After all, he fired a swarm of bullets in that direction, killing the fuel thrower, and then quickly retracted.
"Okay!" The political commissar named Thaddeus also made up his mind.He bowed his back, retreated, and began to give orders.
Soon, the mortar teams belonging to the three platoons were all in place.
The firepower suddenly increased a lot.
After Thaddeus came back, Cody continued to say: "It's not enough, we have to find a way to deal with those magicians."
"Do you have a way?"
Cody grinned: "It's not particularly good, it's just desperate, dare you?"
Thaddeus froze for a moment.
Cody patted his red armband and asked, "What's the matter? You are a political commissar, why are you still hesitating?"
"Damn!" Thaddeus gritted his teeth.
"This is what it looks like!"
The two quickly formed a small team.
A total of 17 people formed two leading squads.
They each led a team, divided into two ends, and began to weave through from the periphery.
Ten minutes later, Cody led the team and was already in place.
He estimated that there were still 2 minutes before the agreed time to launch the attack together.
He strictly ordered the soldiers not to show their heads, and waited patiently.
Those enemies seemed to feel that the frontal firepower seemed to have weakened, and they were a little ready to move, so they sent out their men and tried to launch a counterattack.
Seeing this scene, Cody was a little worried that there would be problems if the frontal defense was reduced by about one-fifth of its manpower.
But fortunately, the time of 2 minutes is still withstood.
When the time came, the multiple mortars fired at the same time; the squad machine guns, which had changed positions and remained silent for a while, also fired vigorously at the same time.
The soldiers also raised their heads vigorously and began to suppress the shooting with all their strength.
At this moment, the firepower projection of the entire army increased several times.
The armed thugs who occupied the convoy were suppressed for a moment.Even those sorcerers didn't dare to show their heads casually, otherwise, even if they were supported by storm shields, they were just some blue robes, and their level could not reach the level of gray robes or even angels. broken shield.
And at this moment, Cody shouted: "Go up, go up! It's our turn! Don't waste the opportunities created by other comrades!"
After all, he was the first to rush out.
