Chapter 1208 The Big Fish

Around twelve o'clock at night, the edge of Xinlai.

Xing Yao, with his strengthened Fourth Battalion, had eliminated the enemies guarding the perimeter of the Red Mansion after a period of sustained combat.

However, after clearing the external firing points and officially entering the vicinity of the Red Mansion, they encountered very stubborn defense.

As soon as Xing Yao led the infantry company in, he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere here. The defensive positions throughout the building were very fixed, and it didn't look like they were set up temporarily.

Including the location of these defensive areas, the method of reinforcement, and the bunkers built with military steel plates, it was very professional, obviously a defensive area that had been carefully arranged long ago.

Several companies under Xing Yao's command were spontaneously organizing attacks on various defensive positions. However, the enemy's firepower was also fierce, with machine guns and grenades desperately greeting them, creating a dense net of fire.

This style of combat was completely different from the warlord soldiers who blindly fired their guns before. The overall combat courage had improved by more than one level!

At this time, in front of Xing Yao was the Second Platoon, the fiercest fighting force in the entire battalion headquarters, frantically charging a staircase passage. The two sides engaged in fierce firefights, and the sound of gunfire was chaotic.

"Ahhh!"

On the defensive position, a black man grabbed a machine gun, roared, and swept a dense row of bullets below, preventing the Second Platoon's soldiers from advancing.

"Sniper, take him down!"

The Second Platoon leader shouted into the communicator, and upon receiving the order, the sniper squatting in the distance aimed at the opponent and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

"Puchi!"

With a gunshot, the black man's head was shattered like a watermelon, and his body flew backward!

But as soon as he fell, another black soldier rushed up, re-erected the machine gun, and desperately started sweeping outwards again.

At this time, Xing Yao was squatting outside the gate, and frowned when he saw this scene. He felt that this group of enemies was like they had taken stimulants.

"Battalion Commander Xing, Little Xing!"

Just then, Deputy Regiment Commander Lao Qian, crouching low and holding an automatic rifle, ran over, squatted next to Xing Yao, and shouted at him: "Damn it, it seems like we've hit the wrong place! Look at the firepower configuration on the first and second floors, and the equipment they're using, this… doesn't look like a defeated army!"

Xing Yao wiped the dust off his face and cursed angrily: "I saw that something was wrong long ago! I feel like we've run into something big this time!"

"Da da da!"

A row of bullets swept over, hitting the wall and splashing a row of dirt.

The two quickly lowered their heads. Lao Qian lay on the ground, covering his helmet and shouting: "Little Xing, what do you think? Still fighting?"

"Of course, we have to fight!" Xing Yao narrowed his bright eyes and responded softly: "We treated them as a defeated army, and they treated us as troops about to attack the Red Mansion, so they bit us like mad dogs! The two sides misunderstood the combat intent, and a confused fight broke out. But the reason why they're biting so hard and the defense here is so strong shows that this place is not simple!"

As he spoke, Xing Yao pulled Lao Qian over, pointed to the main staircase entrance on the first floor in front, and shouted: "See that, the defense here is the strongest! We've charged three or four times, but haven't been able to get in! Damn it, those old black soldiers are like they've taken drugs."

Lao Qian followed his line of sight and looked at the main staircase.

Large steel plate bunkers were set up there, and a machine gun was mounted at the entrance of the stairs, frantically sweeping outwards. The barrel had already turned red from the heat. A large number of defenders relied on the bunkers, not retreating an inch, repeatedly resisting the Second Platoon's attacks.

"RPG! Keep firing!"

Having been repelled several times, the Second Platoon leader's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared, pointing at the firing point.

Two infantrymen stepped forward, holding RPGs, and fired two rockets with two loud bangs!

"Boom boom!"

The missiles exploded violently, but only bent the steel plates of the bunker slightly, and two defenders were also blown away. But in the blink of an eye, more defenders filled the vacant positions, continuing to open fire and counterattack the Second Platoon.

"Pull back, keep firing!"

Just as the Second Platoon leader was preparing for the second round of bombing, more than a dozen prisoners wearing different military uniforms suddenly rushed out of the main building.

These prisoners were tied with C4 and had guns pointed at their backs. The guards spoke in the local language, pushed them, and roared something.

"Ahhh!"

Soon, these prisoners turned pale, covered in cold sweat, and roared as they rushed down from the building!

"Quick, stop them, don't let them come over!" The Second Platoon leader's brow twitched wildly. He fired his gun while shouting at the surrounding soldiers.

"Da da da!"

A row of bullets swept past, and several prisoners fell into the pool of blood. But two prisoners still let out desperate wails and rushed into the crowd.

"Boom boom!"

Two violent explosions sounded, and three soldiers were hit by the blast, fell to the ground, were seriously injured, and lay on the ground wailing. And in order to cover a young soldier, the Second Platoon leader's body was torn to pieces by the explosion, scattered randomly on the ground, with blood splattered everywhere.

"Little Zhao!"

Seeing his old comrade die in front of him, Xing Yao's eyes turned red! He clenched his fists, controlled his surging anger, and glanced around.

Outside the Red Mansion, an armored vehicle emitting black smoke caught his eye.

This armored vehicle should have been damaged before. The tracks were broken, parked at an angle on the side of the road, with several bodies lying on it.

Xing Yao strained his voice and shouted, "Second Platoon, stop charging, draw the enemy's fire! Engineers! Check the condition of this armored vehicle! Quick!"

"Yes!"

Several engineers quickly ran over and tore off the bodies on the armored vehicle. Some soldiers went inside, and some lay directly on the ground to check.

Soon, the engineer platoon leader trotted over, saluted Xing Yao, and said: "The armored vehicle is generally intact, only the tracks are damaged, it can be put into use after repair!"

"Give you five minutes to repair it for me!" Xing Yao quickly gave the order.

"Yes!"

The entire engineer platoon quickly started to act. They moved quickly and directly turned out the equipped repair tools from under the armored vehicle.

Then, two engineers quickly inserted jacks under the car and lifted the body up with a few clangs. The remaining engineers grabbed the tracks, re-fastened the bolts, and then took out the spare materials that came with the armored vehicle, re-welded the tracks, and repaired them.

These engineers were extremely fast. In less than three minutes, the tracks of the armored vehicle were repaired. Although it couldn't move for a long time, it was enough for a short period of combat.

The engineer platoon leader ran back again, saluted Xing Yao, and shouted with a flushed face: "Report! Armored vehicle repaired!"

"Demolition Platoon, put explosives on the walls on both sides of the gate for me!"

Xing Yao issued the order again.

"Yes!"

Several soldiers quickly stepped forward, and with a few pops, they placed two rows of explosives on both sides of the gate wall!

Xing Yao clenched his fists and shouted, "Blow up the gate! Armored vehicle, push forward, get stuck at the door and attack!"

"Yes!"

"Boom, boom!"

As the detonator was pressed, violent explosions sounded one after another! The walls on both sides of the gate were blown open by the explosives, revealing huge gaps!

Xing Yao pointed at the gate and roared angrily: "Armored vehicle! Go inside! Hurry!"

"Boom boom!"

The entire armored vehicle emitted black smoke, accompanied by the roar of the engine, and rushed towards the Red Mansion!

"Bang!"

Before the soldiers defending in the building could react, the armored vehicle had rushed into the stairs, directly head down, smashed to the bottom of the steps, and made a loud noise!

"Da da da!"

"Dang dang dang!"

The guards suddenly woke up and pulled the trigger on the armored vehicle. The bullets fell on the heavy armor, splashing golden sparks.

"Bang!"

Lao Qian, hiding in the car, pushed open the top cover, grabbed the machine gun mounted on it, his eyes were bloodshot, and he pulled the trigger on the guards in front of him: "I fuck your mother!"

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The large-caliber shells swept out, and everything, whether it was guards or steel plates, was like paper at this time, and was directly blown up.

The Second Platoon and other troops also rushed in with the armored vehicle and opened fire on the guards.

"Cn

I don't know how long it took, Xing Yao climbed up, patted Lao Qian hard, and shouted at him: "Lao Qian, Lao Qian! Stop fighting, everyone is dead!"

"Ka ka…"

The bullets had also been emptied. Lao Qian's tiger's mouth was numb. He released the machine gun and leaned weakly on the armored vehicle.

Xing Yao reached out and pulled him off the armored vehicle.

At the same time, the troops of the strengthened Fourth Battalion began to converge towards this side, and quickly approached the upper floors along the opened gap.

Soon, a door on the second floor was pushed open.

Inside the door, twenty or so people in luxurious clothes, but looking very embarrassed, were squatting on the ground, shivering.

One of the middle-aged men was still using broken Chinese, constantly begging: "Don't kill us, we surrender, surrender…"

When the reconnaissance company commander saw these people, he recognized their identities at a glance, quickly picked up the communicator, and shouted excitedly at Xing Yao: "Report to the battalion commander! This time we really got a big fish!!"
