Steel steam and flame

Chapter 477 Bailang (8)

What he observed in his eyes was that the situation was developing to one side, and the two sides were moving very quickly. The major's side did not organize good firepower, and did not rely on the cooperation and proficiency of the soldiers to achieve a suppressive effect. It seemed as if it was not the major's team that had been injected with the stimulant, but the enemy's side.

Relying on the physical fitness and strength that exceeds that of ordinary people, the heavy machine gun can be used flexibly in the hands of the enemy, and the firepower is very fierce. The temperature is cold, and there is no need to worry about the barrel overheating on either side. The shooter only needs to aim at the target and press the trigger. But ordinary soldiers suffer in this regard. The recoil was largely offset by the structural design of the gun body, but the numbness accumulated from long-term shooting still affected the accuracy and firepower of the heavy machine gun.

And in the eyes of all the surgeons, the weight of the heavy machine gun itself is not something that cannot be lifted. Their mobility is good, and with their excellent load-bearing capacity, they carry far more ammunition than the major's. Since the firing of various weapons, there seems to be no sign of stopping. The Major's side was severely suppressed, which may have been an important factor.

The tough trunks of ancient trees have little resistance to heavy machine gun bullets designed to deal with hard rock shelters. One or two bullets hit the tree trunk, which was fine, except for a few big craters. But under the firepower of a series of heavy machine gun bullets, there was no obvious terrain difference in the gentle woods, and everything seemed unable to withstand the steel torrent of heavy firepower weapons. There is no need to hide oneself anymore, and there is no need to search for the enemy's location. When the major's team was completely exposed to the enemy's sight and the firepower from both sides was completely spread out, the ancient tree standing silently in the middle became the earliest victim.

The simplest propulsion method was adopted, and the number of heavy firepower weapons and various types of bombs on the enemy's side was obviously much greater than that on the Major's side. Being able to rely on the damage of bullets and explosions to force the Major's team to resist waves of attacks. The trunk of the ancient tree, which served as everyone's shield, seemed a little pale and feeble at this time. He was attacked by several heavy machine guns and could only hold on for less than a few seconds. And everyone is very good at throwing steel bombs and other high-power explosives at fixed points with countdown, whether it is the enemy or the veterans on Major Barron's side. The accuracy of the throwing was much better than some of the irregular armies and personnel Cassia had seen before, and the actual effect was much better.

It is too dangerous to stay behind a big tree now. If you don't change your position in turn, if the enemy notices it, you may be greeted by a huge number of bombs flying from different directions, as well as heavy machine guns that turn their muzzles and point here.

Due to the limitations of ammunition and physical personnel, the situation on Major Barron's side was very bad. The pressure on the remaining captains and majors was also very high. All the important firepower points in the team were under their control, which barely delayed the team's retreat. However, in this case, they themselves were also subject to great restrictions. The originally discussed plans were almost never implemented due to the contrast in the actual battle.

The general attack is the same as what the enemy has in mind. It is of course better to rely on soldiers and a few captains to delay the enemy head-on and form a stalemate. Only then will they have ample time and opportunity to cut in from the flanks and rely on their own strength to tear the enemy's ranks apart.

But now the situation is reversed, Major Barron's team has shrunk into a ball, and the captains who had been prepared on the periphery of the team in advance had to temporarily abandon their plans due to the deterioration of the situation and rush back to support Major Barron and the others. At this time, the team lost someone who could move flexibly, and the passive situation seemed to only become more passive.

The enemy has gained an advantage. The tight team is spreading out in a fan shape on both sides. Relying on fire suppression, it gradually forms an encirclement network around them, achieving the situation they want to see. A lot of ammunition is carried by the enemy, and they don't have to worry about the reduction of firepower caused by the consumption of ammunition. This is indeed something that Major Barron cannot compare with.

After coming out of the volcano base, due to signal interference and blockade, the teams could not contact each other, and the base could not notify them. Basic supplies cannot be transported by airship. The number of personnel has been reduced, the status has declined, and many aspects cannot be replenished. Apart from the things on the dead enemies, the only things that can be found are small animals that can be found in some decayed tree holes or caves if you are lucky.

Ammunition consumption is a major factor that Major Barron considers. The amount of ammunition carried by each person cannot support them to fire indefinitely. During the battle, they seemed to be at an inherent disadvantage. Now the situation of the team has basically stabilized, and they are retreating in an orderly direction towards the snowy peak behind them. The casualties are gradually decreasing, and everyone has quickly adapted to fighting in this environment.

But they are all temporary. Major Barron and several captains are thinking about the future of the battle.

"Major, the direction of retreat doesn't seem very optimistic!" Someone ran to Major Barron from the front of the battle with the enemy. He was a sturdy young man with a strong body and a large amount of ammunition hanging on his body. Before the battle, most of the load of the entire team was borne by these captains to make other ordinary soldiers easier, whether in battle or on the road under various circumstances.

"There is no doubt that there are enemy airships on the snow peak, but I'm afraid that these people in front of me are not all the enemies." The man said without a smile on his face. His throat was visibly thirsty, evident in his heated breath and words. As he spoke, he swept away the surface of the snow around him, grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into his mouth. The snow was about to stick together. He chewed the sand-like snow in his mouth like food, and slowly used his body temperature to melt it into water that could quench his thirst.

"Same idea, if there are enemies next to the airship, they receive the communication at this time, and come down from the snow peak to attack us. At that time, except for a few of us who have a chance to escape, the ones around us..." The major did not speak , but the other person knew what it meant.

They looked helpless. The actual situation after the battle started had a big deviation. Now they could only keep retreating.

"Major!" Someone was running toward them carrying a machine. It was a communications soldier. The communication machine he was carrying was lighting up with several lights, and many indicator lights were flashing. The communication soldier himself also had a smile on his face, having encountered something happy.

Major Barron and another captain, who had just discussed the current situation, could not smile at this moment. When they saw the signal trooper running toward them, both men's hearts sank, because they knew the worst had happened.

"The interference disappeared! The communication seemed to have been restored not long ago! Major!" The signal soldier ran over and reported to the major.
