Chapter 99, Tactical Interlude
In the middle of a battle, the consequences of getting your butt kicked are disastrous.
Behind those mobs, they were attacked from two directions by two infantry platoons led by Cody, and there was basically no effective resistance.
If the people from the 3rd Battalion on the front weren't quite sure what was going on behind them, and their top priority was to prepare for the grain trucks, so they didn't have time to cooperate and launched an attack from the front at the same time, those thugs would have collapsed even faster. Some.
But even if it doesn't, it won't be a big problem.
Objectively speaking, Coady feels that the military skill level of the team he is leading now is still lagging behind compared to his old team. But it was better than that mob, and its weapons and equipment were stronger.
At least it's not a steel barrel rifle anymore.
At the same time, after realizing that among the enemies, the cultists who could release storm bombs were the biggest threat, he focused on those two enemies.
He found some of his soldiers who had the most progressive ideas and were able to fight tough battles, and then he personally led them to specifically select those cultists to fight.
Tough battles must be fought using this method.
And when he led people to kill the two magicians, there was no suspense in the battle.
The remaining thugs were either killed or escaped.
Cody did not lead anyone to chase, but led the team to approach the grain transport team.
The soldiers responsible for the escort were very cautious and did not let them get close. It wasn't until Cody showed up and the soldiers on the opposite side noticed someone they knew that they lowered their guard.
After speaking with the secret message, Cody left a platoon behind, together with the seventeen people who were still alive in the original escort team, took the wounded, and headed for the No. 2 distribution center they were responsible for.
By ensuring that this food can be delivered first, we can 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 team responsible for escorting, which can also ensure safety as much as possible.
As for Cody himself...
He pulled up the brim of his hat and listened to the fierce gunshots coming from the distance.
His fight is not over yet.
"Let's keep going! 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 has more problems than the one he just solved.
Here, it should be on the transportation line of the No. 3 distribution center. A group of thugs have occupied the convoy. The number of this group of thugs was larger than what they had encountered before, probably as many as 200 people; and the proportion of cultists among them was also larger. Cody saw five at a glance.
He knew how troublesome it was to deal with a guy like this who could release evil magic. The bullets hit their storm shield, and it took at least three magazines to be emptied before it could penetrate; and when the opponent fired a wind bullet, it was like a grenade. What's more, there are a considerable number of armed thugs around him to provide protection.
Looking at it this way, the infantry platoon responsible for escorting the food was probably doomed. Regardless of whether everyone was wiped out or some were defeated and became deserters, we couldn't count on it.
There are also two infantry platoons supporting from the No. 3 distribution center. Cody also knew the person leading the team, who was also a "red hat" political commissar.
But the enemy they faced was too strong, and they couldn't defeat it at all.
All they can do is maintain the front line and ensure that the enemy cannot break out.
But the numbers are not superior, the other side has the help of the magician, and we have a rat weapon. Even if we have a few mortars in our hands, we don't dare to attack, for fear of destroying the food.
In this case, their front is somewhat precarious.
Cody immediately led his troops and pushed forward.
He and the dozens of fresh troops he brought with him arrived at the scene, which greatly eased the situation.
During the battle, Cody found another red hat.
"Tardius! Thaddeus!" "Cawdy?"
The red hat turned his head, somewhat surprised.
Coady didn't have time to reminisce about old times, so he immediately stated his purpose: "We can't fight like this, we have to use our cannons!"
"But those grain trucks..."
"Don't worry so much! Win the battle first and then talk about the food!" Cody said, pointing outwards, "Look over there! Someone is pouring fuel, and they want to burn the food! We can't let them succeed!"< br>
After that, he fired a bunch of bullets in that direction, killing the person who threw the fuel, and then quickly retracted his head.
"Okay!" The political commissar named Thaddeus also made up his mind. He crouched, retreated, and began to issue orders.
Soon, the three platoon mortar teams were in position.
The firepower suddenly became much stronger.
After Thaddeus came back, Cody continued: "It's not enough, we have to find a way to deal with those magicians."
"Do you have any idea?"
Cody grinned: "I'm not particularly good, I'm just trying my best. Do you dare?"
Thaddeus was stunned for a moment.
Cody patted his red armband and asked: "What's wrong? You are a political commissar, why are you still hesitant?"
"Do it!" Thaddeus gritted his teeth.
"This is so decent!"
The two quickly formed a small team.
A total of seventeen people formed two vanguard squads.
They each led a team, divided into two ends, and weaved in and out from the outside.
Ten minutes later, the team led by Cody was already in place.
He estimated that there were still two minutes left before the agreed time to launch the attack together.
He strictly ordered the soldiers not to show their heads and wait patiently.
The enemies seemed to feel that the frontal firepower seemed to have weakened. They were a little ready to move, and sent out men to launch a tentative counterattack.
Seeing this scene, Cody was a little worried about whether there would be problems after the frontal defense lost almost one-fifth of its manpower.
But fortunately, I was able to withstand it for two minutes.
When the time came, the multiple mortars fired at the same time; the team's machine guns, which had changed positions and had been silent for a while, also opened fire violently at the same time.
The soldiers also raised their heads with great effort and began to suppress the shooting with all their strength.
In this instant, the entire unit's firepower projection increased several times.
The armed thugs who occupied the convoy were suppressed for a while. Even those many magicians would not dare to show up casually. Otherwise, even if they are supported by a storm shield, they are just blue robes and cannot reach the level of gray robes or even divine envoys. If they are hit by too many bullets, they will still be injured. Shield-breaking.
And at this moment, Cody yelled: "Up, up, up! It's our turn! Don't waste the opportunities created by other comrades for us!"
After saying that, he was the first to rush out.
