Chapter 1698 - 1699: Full-Scale Assault
At that moment, the sentry's piercing screams echoed throughout the entire frontline.
"The enemy is coming up again, those motherless dogs!"
Shui Rou gasped in surprise, grabbed the binoculars, and looked ahead.
Three tanks rumbled forward, the skirmish line trailing behind them.
The dense mass of enemies hunched over, charged forward cautiously and alertly.
Shui Rou gritted her teeth, grabbed the communicator from her collar, and shouted orders.
"First squad, second squad at the ready, demolition team prepare, the tanks are coming again."
Boom!
A loud explosion as the tank fired its artillery.
The shell arced through the sky and landed on the Red Shirt Army's front line, exploding with a thunderous roar and sending shockwaves.
Three or four Red Shirt Army warriors were blown to pieces, countless were injured.
Two squads of Red Shirt Army charged out from behind the shelter, but were fiercely suppressed by the tank's machine guns.
They had no choice but to lie flat, unable to even lift their heads.
Meanwhile, two demolition teams, carrying explosive packs, charged towards the tanks.
Under the cover of enemy heavy tanks, the line of the Ninja Army surged rapidly towards the Red Shirt Army's fortifications.
From a distance, the charging Ninja Army resembled frenzied ants, a dense mass of heads.
Their rifles and submachine guns opened fire simultaneously, from afar it looked like thousands of red flowers blooming at once,
such a scene, so beautiful yet so terrifying.
Rat-a-tat-tat!
On the Red Shirt Army's position, makeshift pillboxes began machine gun fire.
A hailstorm of bullets swept towards the charging Ninja Army soldiers, who fell like autumn's harvested rice.
The soldiers fell in waves, yet more crazily surged forward, repeatedly, advancing one after another.
Boom!
Another round of tank volley sent the pillbox flying into the Western Paradise.
Three or four soldiers inside the pillbox were blown to smithereens.
Seeing this, Shui Rou felt her heart sink.
At this moment, the two demolition teams finally reached the tanks.
The two demolition teams, six people in total, had already sacrificed three.
A Red Shirt Army warrior, under his comrade's cover, dragged his broken leg, protecting the explosive pack, directly charged under the tank's steel tracks.
Boom!
Another loud explosion, blowing one tank's tracks apart, its top emitted drifting black smoke.
At the same time, the remaining three Red Shirt Army warriors quickly charged towards the second tank.
Machine guns mounted on the tank spewed bullets like hail, a storm of fire aimed at the three warriors.
Yet these three maneuvered and dodged, amidst the whizzing bullets, resembling moths rushing into flames, they charged at the tank.
Shui Rou and Xiao Xuanya watched this heroic scene from a distance, tightly clenching their fists.
Shui Rou bit her finger, teeth clamped down hard, only this way prevented her from crying out loud.
In the hail of bullets, one soldier's calf was shot and shattered.
His movement slowed, the incoming bullet storm instantly tore him to pieces.
Another Red Shirt Army warrior rushed over, picked up the explosive pack, and continued charging forward.
Xiao Xuanya's gentle face was full of gravity.
Though not the fiercest globally among the mercenary circles, the Red Shirt Army's soldiers display such fearless bravery, earning admiration.
Witnessing two Red Shirt Army warriors, tumbling and dodging amidst the bullet storm, nearing the tank's underside.
At that moment, two figures suddenly darted from the skirmish line.
These two advanced like lightning towards the two Red Shirt Army warriors.
"So fast, these are martial arts experts."
Xiao Xuanya was inwardly startled, eyelid twitched, raised her Barrett Heavy Sniper without hesitation, and fired.
Two bullets whistled towards two different targets, arriving almost simultaneously.
Normally, Xiao Xuanya's sniper bullets, hidden within the gunfire, would be hard to detect.
But as her bullet just left the gun barrel, the two martial arts experts immediately sensed the danger.
The martial artist on the left rolled forward, dodging the Barrett Heavy Sniper bullet.
The one behind bent forward, rolling like a giant ball forward.
He avoided Xiao Xuanya's sniper bullet, not slowing down, even moving faster.
Xiao Xuanya frowned tightly.
Though there are masters among the Ninja Army, none could avoid her sniper bullets.
This suggests the fact, enemy reinforcements have arrived.
The two remaining demolition Red Shirt Army warriors barely reached under the tank, but faced two martial arts masters.
In a flash of blade light, the two Red Shirt Army warriors had no chance to perish together, they were beheaded.
"Damn it!"
Ruthless killing intent flickered in Xiao Xuanya's beautiful eyes.
She raised the Barrett and fired repeatedly, bullets either fast or slow, shot from various angles at one martial artist.
The martial arts master faced Xiao Xuanya's sniping, seemingly aware of its danger.
From seemingly impossible angles, he jumped like a giant lobster, unpredictably upward, evading Xiao Xuanya's bullet ring.
Then he rolled several times towards nine o'clock direction and escaped.
Even Xiao Xuanya was secretly alarmed by this.
Really no idea where these guys come from? Even able to dodge her sniping, truly not to be underestimated.
Although Shui Rou didn't understand Xiao Xuanya's sniping skills, she knew anyone able to dodge Xiao Xuanya's bullets must be remarkable.
In this battle, Xiao Xuanya's explosive firepower amazed many, no enemy ever escaped her sniper death.
The two women turned to each other, saw the urgency of the situation in each other's eyes.
Shui Rou gritted her teeth and entrusted Xiao Xuanya.
"Miss Xiao, I ask you, if we can't hold out later, you must escape."
"You must expose Sang Country's atrocities to the world."
Xiao Xuanya bitterly smiled, shook her head.
"Don't talk about anything now, but rest assured, if I escape, I will fulfill your wish."
"Sang Country authorities employing armed forces, indiscriminately killing civilians, this is big news,
The Ninja Army's two tanks began firing shells again at Central Avenue positions.
Sandbags, pillboxes, and soldiers' broken limbs flew into the sky, then scattered down.
Behind the tanks, countless Ninja Army surged forward like waves, heavy and fearsome.
Determination flashed across Shui Rou's face.
She grabbed the communicator on her collar and shouted fiercely.
"Red Shirt Army warriors, the final battle is about to begin, let's charge at the enemy with hopes for freedom and independence."
"Even if it means death, we must show Sang Country that the people of Li Island are not easy to bully, nor easily enslaved... Attack!"
Shui Rou's gentle face was now filled with hysterical frenzy.
She raised the submachine gun, body bent forward, readying herself like a beautiful American Panther.
Xiao Xuanya couldn't help shaking her head repeatedly.
With their reliance on tanks, a full-scale offensive of the Red Shirt Army was definitely not a good idea at this moment.
