The north gate of Changjiu Farm.
The sudden explosion of gunfire was like firecrackers, the whizzing bullets roared in the night, and the flames that shot up into the sky tore through the cold night, like a trumpet blown by hell.
"Forward--"
"Use your bayonets to dissect their intestines! Cut off their heads and make wine jugs!"
"Go to kill!"
"Go to plunder!"
"Tear them apart!"
The night raid was discovered.
The looters were no longer hiding.
The leader was a short-haired man who pulled out a centurion's pistol, shouting wantonly while pulling the trigger in his hand.
The figures crawling in the snow stood up one after another, like jackals pouncing on their prey, shouting like ghosts and monsters, and launched a surprise attack on the north wall.
The battle was about to start!
Less than four guards were standing on the concrete wall and the tower on duty. They were caught off guard by the bullets, and two bodies were lost in one round of firefight.
The other two were not lucky either. They were pressed behind the bunker by the whizzing bullets and could not raise their heads at all.
A shrill alarm sounded in the farm.
The guards stationed there immediately picked up their weapons and rushed to their respective combat positions as they had practiced countless times in the exercise.
Unlike the "hyenas" hiding in the ruins, these predators were not only well-trained, but also equipped with the weapons of the legion, and their firepower was unusually fierce.
In addition to the bolt-action ripper rifles, they were not only equipped with automatic weapons, but also had five or six light machine guns!
Even though Wrench bravely rushed up the wall with his men as soon as the battle started, he still felt tremendous pressure in the face of the sudden attack of more than a hundred predators and the surging firepower.
Without the support of trenches, a wall alone could not stop so many people.
Under the cover of firepower from the back row, a team of ten predators took the lead in crossing the trench buried in snow and reached a place less than 20 meters away from the wall of Changjiu Farm.
"Molotov cocktail!"
"Throw it!"
The short-haired man shouted loudly, and dozens of predators behind him lit Molotov cocktails and smashed them at the three-meter-high concrete wall.
With a crash, the flames soared into the air.
Although these Molotov cocktails did not cause substantial casualties to the guards on the wall, they still caused them a lot of chaos.
This is a common trick used by predators in the wasteland.
Using Molotov cocktails to create chaos, forcing the defenders to leave the lit bunkers, while compressing the defenders' tactical space, concentrate their forces to launch a surprise attack on the weak points of defense.
To a certain extent, the offensive of these predators worked.
More and more Molotov cocktails were thrown onto the wall, and the wall was divided into several sections by the flames. A young guard risked his life to rush up the tower, replaced his fallen comrade, set up a light machine gun and fired at the wall, but within a few seconds, he was taken away by a bullet shot from the darkness.
Fires burned on the tower.
"Fuck!"
The wrench who was guarding the wall first cursed and threw the wooden-handled grenade with the fuse removed.
With a bang, snowflakes splashed high, and a looter fell on the spot.
However, in the face of the wave-like attack, this grenade was like a stone thrown into the sea, and it could not stop the surging waves at all.
The looter holding a submachine gun rushed to the nearby area, took off the bullet on his back, and fired an iron fist at the north gate.
The rocket as thick as an arm blasted a big hole in the iron gate, but did not break the door open.
Seeing that the door failed, the looters did not give up, and then rushed up to place explosives.
The guards on the wall fired back, knocking down two people who rushed to the vicinity, but were soon suppressed by bullets from a distance.
"There are too many of them!"
The wounded guard leaned against the concrete wall, his arms were covered in blood, and he shouted to the captain not far away while enduring the pain.
"Sir! They are placing explosives at the door!"
"Can you hit them?"
"I tried... their firepower is too strong!"
Wrench gritted his teeth, made a quick decision, and shouted at the top of his voice.
"Everyone retreat!"
"Let these beasts in and fight!"
Inside the north gate of Changjiu Farm, facing a construction site, there are brick piles buried in snow and an unfinished dormitory building.
This dormitory building was originally intended to accommodate refugees, but due to the blizzard, the construction period was delayed. At present, only the second floor has been built, and the outer wall of the third floor has only been repaired halfway.
It is perfect for use as a shelter!
As the words fell, Wrench raised his rifle and fired a burst of bullets outside the bunker, attracting the machine gun's firepower.
Seeing that his comrades had retreated to the stairs, he threw the last grenade, then drove the exoskeleton, jumped down from the wall, and ran after his comrades to join him.
Almost at the same time when the guards withdrew from the wall, a loud explosion came from the north gate.
The heat and flames that rose to the sky blew the entire gate away, and the snow on the ground also collapsed several meters away.
Seeing the gate broken, the looters cheered and rushed in with rifles.
Fortunately, the people on the wall retreated in time.
If they were a little slower, they would be copied by the looters from behind, and the people on the wall would become birds on the tree and be shot from a high place.
The guards who retreated to the apartment building finally got a chance to breathe.
While the looters hadn't completely rushed in, Wrench immediately organized the remaining thirty guards to set up a new defense line around the apartment building.
Some people were scattered around the dormitory building, and some set up machine guns at the windows and engaged in fierce exchanges of fire with the looters who rushed into the farm.
In less than ten minutes, the battle had reached a fever pitch.
The two sides fought around the north wall of the farm, leaving behind more than ten bodies each, all of them blood-thirsty.
Facing the brutal looters, the guards resisted tenaciously and their morale was high.
However, the looters had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, equipment and combat experience.
Many of them followed the Lion's Fang flag and fought all the way here from the central part of the Valley Province. During this period, they experienced countless battles of all sizes and burned and destroyed countless villages.
Many of the guards here were new recruits who had just completed the inspection. They came from different backgrounds. Some were recruited from refugees, while others were from the surrounding survivor settlements.
Perhaps some had experienced the test of blood and fire, but most of them were on the battlefield for the first time.
This was not shooting in the trenches.
The murderous aura that was coming was suffocating, the fire was burning under the nose, and the strong smell of gunpowder even flooded the throat.
In the chaos, only the flickering fire could be seen, and it was impossible to see where the people were.
As more and more predators crossed the north gate, the guards had to shrink the defense line again and again until they completely retreated into the dormitory building.
The outcome seemed to be no longer in suspense.
If nothing unexpected happened, this battle should be over within a few minutes.
Gray Wolf, holding a telescope, looked in the direction of Changjiu Farm, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"A bunch of weak chickens."
Victory came faster than he thought.
Hearing that Black Snake had been defeated twice by these people, he was prepared for a tough battle, so he made a careful plan and ordered a surprise attack tonight after observing outside for a whole day.
However, he didn't expect that after the fight, he found that the people standing in front of him were a group of rookies who had never been on the battlefield.
With only less than ten casualties, his men rushed in effortlessly and captured the wall and tower
Is this an assault?
What a waste of expression!
The hyena crawling at his feet bared its teeth excitedly, hissing and growling in its throat, and a bloodthirsty light flashed in its eyes.
It smelled the smell of death.
It seems that there will be an extra meal tonight!
"... It's so strange, I thought they had at least 70 or 80 people, but from the sound of gunfire, there were only 40 at most?"
The scout with a white cloth on his shoulders, following the gray wolf, whispered in a low voice, with confusion in his eyes.
He has been a scout for some time. Although he dare not say that he can guess the number of people in the camp with 100%, with his rich experience, he rarely has an error of more than double.
Standing on the other side of the gray wolf, the burly man did not hide the mockery on his face at all. Looking at the wall with a blazing flame, he said with a sigh.
"And they are all new soldiers. Look at how they retreated. Many people must have peed their pants in fear! Haha!"
His name is Wang Tuo. He is one of the confidants of the gray wolf and a mercenary who followed the gray wolf to join the bone chewing tribe.
Not only is he a first-class gunman, he is also an awakener!
The scars engraved on his muscles are all proof of his bravery.
Looking at the brothers who took down the wall with great momentum, Wang Tuo rubbed his fists excitedly and looked at the gray wolf on the side.
"Boss, let me go too!"
I went too late, but I can't even drink a mouthful of soup!
The five teams of ten people left behind were originally to prevent the defenders from rushing out from the side door and outflanking them from behind.
But now it seems that the enemy's manpower can't even fill the front battlefield. At this time, sending troops to go around is no different from seeking death.
It seems to be over.
Gray Wolf put down the telescope, thought calmly for a moment, and gave an order.
"You take a team of ten people and sneak along the east side to their south. Don't let them run away."
"Remember, wait until they come out of the door before fighting."
"Don't kill them all, leave two alive, I have something to ask them."
Chasing deserters?
He is so good at this kind of meat-eating job!
"Yes!"
Wang Tuo excitedly accepted the order, and without saying a word, he immediately ran down the slope and came to his own people.
The group of hungry wolves had been impatient for a long time, holding rifles with bayonets already installed, looking at the south, rubbing their hands, and looking forward eagerly.
Looking at this group of brothers who were as fierce as wolves and tigers, Wang Tuo shouted excitedly.
"Brothers, follow me!"
"Don't let our prey run away!"
...
Escape is impossible.
The looters have surrounded the dormitory building, and the guards who are holding on to the building have no way out.
No one plans to retreat.
They have already let go of the north gate.
If they let go here, there will be no reliable bunkers to hold on, and those looters will completely occupy the entire farm.
This is the last line of defense!
After fierce exchanges of fire, the looters have controlled the stairs on the side of the dormitory building and threw a grenade up.
Fire broke out!
The gunfire from upstairs suddenly stopped, and the looters squatting by the stairs were about to attack upstairs, but at the critical moment, gunfire suddenly rang out from the darkness on the side.
"Ah, da da da da da——!"
The tail rushed to the front line from the back, while firing at the base of the dormitory building, he fiercely used his mouth to match the bullets.
The bullets flew around without a care.
The full-power bullets were not only scary, but also the fragments and dust splashed by the wall.
The looters who were about to rush upstairs were startled by the sudden burst of fire in the darkness. They thought that reinforcements had arrived, and they did not dare to continue rushing upstairs. They hurriedly looked for shelter on the spot to hide, and at the same time raised the muzzle to return fire.
The bullets flew over, almost sticking to the tail in the chaos.
Sisi, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, pulled the guy who rushed too fast back.
Almost at the same time, dense rain of bullets hit the pile of red bricks in front of them, and the broken bricks fell all over the ground.
Being suppressed by the light machine gun, he couldn't raise his head at all.
Tail, who was leaning against the bunker with his rifle in his arms, said indignantly.
"Damn it! If Tail's bear was here!"
"Sisi thinks that would be even worse."
Releasing the hand that was holding Tail's collar, Sisi glanced at the map on the VM screen. Just as he was about to think about the route of attack, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
"Oh, how could I forget such an important thing."
Tail looked at her quickly.
"What's wrong?"
Sisi thought.
"Nothing, well... it doesn't matter anyway, our reinforcements are here."
"Huh?! So fast?"
"Look over there."
Looking at the surprised Tail, Sisi stretched out his hand, pointed to the house to the south and continued, "Remember? That's our save point."
Although there are not as many people here as in the outpost, those who come to Changjiu Farm to do tasks in this weather are basically combat professional players, if not big shots.
At the same time when the battle situation on the front line became tense, more than 90 dormant chambers were opened in a row in the save point on the south side of Changjiu Farm.
Accompanied by the sound of leaking air, faces popped out from the open hatch.
Roller shampooer: "MMP, I'm having lunch! Does the planner have no family???"
Battlefield atmosphere group: "Hahaha, I'm eating too! I made dumplings at home, I just ate a plate, and I saw someone in the group calling for work!"
I'm the darkest: "Hurry up! I've only eaten half of the takeaway! I spent 20 yuan to order it!"
Battlefield atmosphere group: "Where's the spring water? The damn spring water, hurry up and lead the team!"
The spring water commander, who was busy putting on the exoskeleton, couldn't help but spray when he heard this.
"Fuck! How can you talk to your father like that?"
"Stop talking nonsense," the battlefield atmosphere team rolled their eyes at him, loading their rifles, "What's the point of wearing this? I never saw you rush forward."
"You know shit!" Quanshui cursed as he pulled up his pants and put on his shoes, "If I fall, will you be the one to command me?"
The equipment was next to the hibernation capsule.
Within half a minute, the preparations were completed. Some players had already killed their way out, while a small number of players gathered on their own.
The team counted the number of players in the shortest time, and there were exactly twenty people organized into two teams of ten. Commander Quanshui made an immediate decision and gave the order.
"Group A will follow the battlefield guy to the front line to fight and reinforce the NPC in the unfinished building. Group B will follow me. Let's go around the east wall and target the north gate to cut off their retreat!"
"These damn guys have no martial ethics and actually learned from us to launch a night attack!"
"Let's go and tell them what a real tactical penetration is!"
The morale of the crowd was high.
Especially me, who was the darkest, excitedly fired two shots at the ceiling.
"Ahhh!"
"Fuck him!"
...
One kilometer north of Changjiu Farm.
Listening to the endless gunfire in front, Gray Wolf took out his rusty pocket watch and took a look, frowning slightly.
Half an hour has passed since they captured the north gate, and it has been a while since his fierce general Wang Tuo set off.
Logically speaking, this battle should have ended long ago.
However, for some reason, the gunfire from the front line became more and more intense, and there was no sign of an end after fighting for a long time.
Could it be that reinforcements have arrived?
Impossible...
It is at least 10 kilometers from the urban area of Qingquan City to here. The snow along the road can even bury the knees. Even if they have transportation, it will not be much faster than two legs.
Even if they responded to the attack as soon as possible, it would conservatively take an hour to rush from the urban area.
And this is assuming that they have reinforcements.
People can't fall from the sky, right?
"Why haven't you finished fighting yet?"
Gray Wolf felt a bad premonition in his heart. His battlefield intuition told him that the ten teams that entered the wall might have encountered trouble.
Picking up the telescope, he looked in the direction of Changjiu Farm.
The concrete wall blocked the view, and it was impossible to see clearly what was happening inside the wall from here.
However, at this moment, several figures suddenly appeared in Gray Wolf's field of vision. They looked panicked and ran out of the north gate in a panic.
Gray Wolf was slightly stunned.
When he saw the faces and equipment of those people clearly, his eyes widened instantly, and he wanted to make them pop out of their sockets.
Those deserters were none other than his subordinates.
"Boss, the situation on the front line doesn't seem good..."
The scout standing aside swallowed his saliva. He had a bad feeling from the beginning, but he didn't dare to say it.
And now, this premonition is getting stronger.
"What are these idiots doing!"
More than a hundred people!
They beat a mere forty or so rookies like this!
The gray wolf couldn't help cursing, and he wanted to chop off the heads of those centurions who led the team and feed them to the dogs.
"Ka..."
The hyena crawling at his feet suddenly had all its hair standing up, and a hissing growl leaked from its bared teeth.
The irritable gray wolf had no time to comfort it, so he just said something perfunctory.
"Wait a little longer, you'll have food later."
The hyena whimpered, biting his trouser leg and pulling it back. The annoyed Gray Wolf kicked the beast aside and walked to his other four confidants.
"Take your men with you."
"By the way, kill those two deserters."
"Yes!"
The four centurions took the order and led the eager plunderers to rush towards the north gate of Changjiu Farm.
Gray Wolf took out a signal gun from his arms and fired a shot into the sky.
The signal gun was handed to him by the centurion Lion Fang himself, who told him to send a signal immediately after taking the fortress, and reinforcements would arrive in batches.
Although it was a little early now, he felt that it was almost time.
The flickering phosphorescence flew in the sky, like a bright lamp lighting up the night sky.
Gray Wolf narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of Changjiu Farm. Two deserters had been shot, and more than 40 people were approaching the north gate of the farm and were about to charge in.
However, at this moment, two lights suddenly lit up in the night, coming closer and closer from the east side of Changjiu Farm.
The scout on the side was the first to discover the abnormality and shouted in surprise.
"Boss! It's a truck!"
Gray Wolf was startled and suddenly raised his telescope and looked in the direction of the two lights. He saw a truck speeding on the snow.
Wait -
Speeding? !
What's the speed? !
It wasn't until the truck continued to drive forward for a while, up and down, that Gray Wolf finally saw it clearly. He saw that under the chassis of the truck, there were no tires at all, but two black... tracks? !
And the tracks seemed to be made of rubber? !
Gray Wolf's face changed wildly.
Especially when he saw what was on the back of the truck, a trace of fear appeared in his eyes.
Four thick and long gun barrels were connected in series, pointing directly at the north gate of Changjiu Farm, aiming at the looters who had climbed up the wall, and the more than 40 people who had touched the north gate.
The truck drove to a gentle slope and stopped.
The slightly raised quadruple machine gun on the back was laid flat.
The next second——
A thick and long tongue of fire suddenly sprayed out!
Bang bang bang bang The sound of the guns resounded throughout the snowfield, and the orange-yellow tracers were like spears piercing the night. In just a few breaths, dozens of high-explosive bombs were poured into the snow in front of the north gate!
There was no time to dodge, and there was nowhere to hide.
The more than 40 looters who had reached the north gate were like mosquitoes slapped to death on the wall. In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere. They didn't even have time to scream before they fell down like wheat being cut under the high-explosive bombs.
"No——!"
The pupils were instantly filled with bloodshot, and Gray Wolf's eyes widened, his eyes were about to burst, and a desperate voice came out of his hoarse throat, and his heart seemed to be bleeding.
Those people were all his confidants.
They were also the power he had painstakingly accumulated for several months!
And now——
Everything turned into a bubble.
The looters occupying the wall in the distance were all frightened by the sudden firepower, and jumped off the wall in a panic.
The situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
The sudden and rapid gunfire seemed to be the last madness.
The focus of the battlefield was pushed back to the north gate, and more and more deserters appeared, fleeing from the north gate in fear.
However, that was the beginning of their nightmare.
This fortress, which was alone in the wilderness, was surrounded by white snow, and even the trenches were buried.
The quadruple machine gun on the truck had obviously been loaded.
What awaits them will be a massacre!
Looking at the tragic battle in the distance, Gray Wolf felt like a piece of ice was stuffed in his throat. The chill and powerlessness that penetrated into his bones made him think of the purgatory he had seen in the north.
The scout standing next to him trembled all over and said tremblingly.
"Boss, boss... do we... still want to continue fighting?"
Continue?
What to continue with?
A bitter expression appeared on Gray Wolf's face, and he looked to the northwest - the Elm District, about nine kilometers away from here.
There might be his only way to survive.
There was no vehicle that could pass through the dense forest. As long as he passed through the forest, he would have a chance to return to Yuanxi Town in the north and join the main force...
But what then?
Looking at the flares slowly falling from the sky, Gray Wolf looked at the scout beside him.
"Go northwest and go through the forest to get back."
The scout was stunned.
"Then, what about you?"
Gray Wolf glanced to the south.
"I'll cover you."
