Chapter 131 Crossing the Line of Defense
Chapter 131 Crossing the Line of Defense
Under a heavily weathered small slope, a khaki pickup suddenly stopped its wheels.
"Wal, Seth, you two are on guard, let's take a rest here, and we will start when they fight more intensely!"
Even though they were two or three kilometers away from the battlefield, Lin Dong and the others could still clearly hear the constant artillery fire from a distance.
"How far are we from the defense line?"
While drinking water, Ben came over and asked.
At this time, they were all in the shadow of the back of the hill, and it was difficult for anyone to find them.
"It's not far away. One kilometer to the west is their line of defense. We need to wait until it's dark before trying to find a way to cross it. It will be easier to succeed."
Lin Dong spread out the map, pointed at it and said to Sophie and Ben.
"Of course, this is only the most ideal state. The specifics depend on the performance of our frontline troops. If they fail before dark, then we will suffer!"
Lin Dong shook his head with some emotion and said: "Look, their defense line is based on villages, monitoring the surrounding area for several kilometers.
The terrain here happens to be a low plain, with a clear view of the surrounding area, which makes our penetration and crossing very difficult. "
While the three of them were discussing, Wall suddenly appeared next to the three of them and said, "Boss, there is no trace of enemy activity within a radius of 500 meters."
"Okay, be careful. We're going to walk forward after a break. If we want to cross this line of defense, we still need to get closer and observe."
After resting for about 10 minutes, the five of Lin Dong assembled again, and then they had to rely on their legs to make their way.
With the help of the dry river that appeared from time to time along the way, as well as some magnificent boulders and earth slopes, Lin Dong and the others came to a place less than 300 meters away from the government army's defense line.
"There is a situation!"
Sophie, who was walking in the front, suddenly gave a warning, and then the five of them hid as quickly as possible.
An armed force composed of about 30 people from Villans. The weapons are mainly AK series. It looks more like a local armed force than a government army.
Lin Dong carefully checked the team that suddenly appeared. The other party should be a patrol team sent by the government army stationed in what seemed to be a village in front.
"It seems that they haven't let down their vigilance because of the battle on the front line, and they haven't sent anyone to support them."
"I said that those attacking troops on the front line are too useless. After fighting for so long, they didn't put any pressure on the opponent's defense line?"
Wall's complaints did not get a response from other people, and he wanted to know this kind of thing.
"Seth, contact the headquarters and let them intensify their attack, otherwise we will have no chance at all!"
Seth nodded, started to contact the command, and reported their situation.
What Lin Dong and the others didn't know was that IZO's team also encountered the same problem, so they also asked to strengthen their offensive strength. At this time, Peter was standing in front of the commander-in-chief Younis, reporting the situation to him.
"General Younis, we need to step up our offensive efforts, otherwise their actions will end in failure, and our battle this time will be meaningless!"
"We have sent five thousand mercenaries and one thousand PLA soldiers. Isn't it enough to invest such a large force?"
General Younis hesitated. After all, the real battlefield is not here now. If the soldiers under him suffer too many casualties, he will have no way to explain to the committee members in power.
As for those mercenaries, it doesn't matter, anyway, someone will pay for him. Now that there are so many mercenaries hired on the battlefield, where did the money come from?
With this so-called committee alone, they don't even have the money to buy weapons and equipment!
After thinking for a long time, General Younis finally decided: "Okay, I will send another People's Liberation Army soldiers to launch a fierce attack on Brega, but this time is only one hour, and I will order to stop the attack after one hour!"
Peter's expression brightened immediately, and he said, "Okay, I'll notify them right away and let them pass through the line of defense within an hour!"
If he really sent another soldiers, then as long as he worked harder, he might be able to achieve good results this time.
Peter, as the squadron leader of a foreign legion, it stands to reason that the success of these things has little to do with him.
The reason why he is so active is that another squadron that came with him is preparing to participate in the battle of Misrata at this time. If he can really capture Misrata, it will definitely be a great achievement. If there is no movement here, wouldn't it be that he is being compared for nothing.
More importantly, this time will affect his future path, so he will be so active.
After Lin Dong and the others got the news from Major Peter, they directly found a hidden place to hide. Next, they need to see what the soldiers in this stronghold will do.
About half an hour later, a roar of cars startled Lin Dong and the others.
"Boss, they're out!"
Lin Dong quickly came to Wall in the realm, and through the binoculars, he saw cars driving out of the stronghold.
Among them, there are seven or eight vehicles with heavy machine guns fixed on them, turning these pickup trucks into simple assault vehicles.
Among them is a vehicle with a 14.5mm dual-mounted anti-aircraft machine gun, which can penetrate a 20mm thick homogeneous steel plate and can annihilate low-altitude aircraft, dive aircraft, and airborne troops.
If it is used against infantry, then a direct shot can cut a person in two!
There are a total of 200 to 400 vehicles, and there are almost people, plus the rest of the current stronghold, there are almost people.
The five of Lin Dong looked at each other with some palpitations, feeling a little rejoiced in their hearts, fortunately they didn't hit them, otherwise just the five of them, as long as they were covered by firepower, they could beat them to pieces.
This is the absolute disadvantage of these mercenaries in front of heavy firepower troops. No matter how strong you are, they will always be unable to confront the real army head-on in the form of a small team.
"The opportunity has come." Lin Dong said softly: "Let's wait another 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, we will quietly pass through the defense line and try not to fight. We don't know how much firepower is still in this stronghold. So be careful!"
Lin Dong turned his head, looked at Sophie who didn't say a word, and said, "Sophie, you should lead the way. If there is a situation, try to solve the battle silently!"
Of the five of them, Sophie's strength is the strongest, so it is most suitable for her to explore the way ahead.
