79: Kill all who stand in his way

However, charging in like this without the cover of vehicles meant that no matter how much health his troops had, they wouldn't be able to reach the Fountain Plaza.

"We still need vehicles!"

Li Xiao thought this to himself, then said into his headset: "Zhao Feipeng, have your scout squad and the remaining four members of the machine gun team sneak back to the front intersection and find a way to clear a path!"

"Yes!"

Upon receiving the order, Zhao Feipeng immediately led his men to retreat along the original route; their maneuver to circle back with eleven men was not obstructed by their teammates.

Because they all knew that retreating at this moment would only mean running head-on into the enemy forces encircling them from the housing area, and having this squad head back could instead hold up the enemy and alleviate the pressure on their rearguard.

Sure enough, when Zhao Feipeng and his men turned from the street into the housing area, they encountered the enemies assembled there.

The two sides clashed in close quarters, erupting into fierce street fighting. However, relying on the four machine gunners who each had an average of 200,000 health points, the hundred or so people blocking them were no match at all, and they were pushed aside completely.

Having successfully broken through, Zhao Feipeng and his group immediately drove their three meng hu off-road vehicles to the town intersection.

At this time, most of the garrison here had reinforced the town center, leaving only a few dozen people to stand guard in the buildings.

When they saw the three meng hu off-road vehicles approaching, they immediately opened fire to intercept them.

Seeing this, Zhao Feipeng immediately ordered the machine gunners to maintain suppressive fire while the rest of the men began installing C4 explosives on the dense cluster of vehicles by the roadside.

They were still using the same tactic they used in Xi City, utilizing the shockwave of the C4 explosives to forcibly clear a path. However, while the idea was good, the execution was very difficult.

Since Li Xiao had not arranged for any Engineer this time and could not perform timed detonations, Zhao Feipeng had to resort to blowing them up one by one in a rolling fashion.

However, there were only four machine guns, which couldn't block the fire of dozens of guns.

The soldiers who went to plant the C4 explosives were constantly being hit. Fortunately, although their health was not as high as the machine gunners, they still had an average of 100,000 health points each; even if they stood there and let the machine gunners shoot them, it would take a dozen drum magazines to kill them.

Therefore, the garrison players responsible for guarding this area could only watch in horror as Zhao Feipeng's troops blew up the meng hu off-road vehicles one by one.

This process took a long time. Togg organized two companies to launch an assault, but unfortunately, they were all repelled due to the dense heavy machine gun positions.

But this old soldier was no pushover; he arranged for all twenty-plus snipers from his teammates to be stationed in the buildings at the very front, specifically to snipe the machine gunners across the street.

At the same time, he also sent several Medics to follow and provide constant healing. However, after killing four or five machine gunners in succession, the opponents got smart and stopped showing their heads entirely.

Even the snipers who were originally engaging in counter-sniping stopped firing. For a time, both sides were deadlocked on this street, with neither willing to show their heads.

"Fuck! They are trying to stall for time!"

Togg was hiding in a shop by the side of the road, with Li Xiao and several other players inside as well.

He turned around and asked Li Xiao and the others: "Do you have any ideas?"

The forty-plus players outside wouldn't be able to get in even if they wanted to right now; on foot, they would be killed by the outer garrison, so they couldn't be counted on at all.

Everyone looked at each other, but Li Xiao was confident. Li Le had been following behind Li Xiao, and Zhao Feipeng was reporting the progress at any time.

In fact, the Fountain Plaza was only three hundred meters ahead on this street, but it was like a death zone; one step forward was an abyss, and they currently had no way to retreat.

No one spoke; everyone present had a grim expression. Forty minutes had already passed, and their situation was extremely dire.

Among the players who followed, there were two Black men. Li Xiao couldn't hear their English very clearly, but the general idea was to capture the street building by building.

Togg rejected this proposal. Attacking buildings was inherently a very dangerous offensive method; besides wasting time, it would also severely deplete their forces.

The entire street had nearly sixty or seventy buildings; by the time they captured them all, it would be too late.

At this moment, Togg looked at Li Xiao, who was calm in the corner, and asked curiously: "Friend, are you from the Dragon Kingdom, Goryeo, or the Island Nation?"

The corners of Li Xiao's mouth curled up: "Of course I'm from the Dragon Kingdom! What advice do you have, Battalion Commander Togg?"

"I wouldn't presume to offer advice. If you have any ideas, please share them; the lives of our fifty companions are at stake. Don't you Dragon Kingdom ancients have the Thirty-Six Stratagems? Which one should we use now?"

"Sorry, the Thirty-Six Stratagems are profound and vast. I can't even recite them all, let alone utilize them. However, I only know one saying: Kill the gods if they block! Kill the buddhas if they block!"

Togg's expression was indescribably bitter. He spread his hands and said: "Then what should we use to kill all these gods and buddhas outside?"

"Don't worry, in ten minutes, you will see a surprise!"

"Are you referring to the squad you just sent back? They might have already been killed by the outer enemies. Even if they break through, what could they possibly do?"

Li Xiao had to admire the old soldier's keen observation; even though he was leading the charge at the front, he was still able to grasp what was happening behind so clearly.

Li Xiao cast a look of admiration at Togg, while the teammates around them looked at each other, confused.

In fact, during the few minutes they were waiting, the sound of C4 explosions coming from the intersection had already filled everyone's faces with anticipation.

A few minutes later, Li Xiao suddenly stood up and said to Togg: "It's coming! Get ready to launch the assault!"

Hearing the word "assault," all the teammates present became nervous. They hurriedly ordered their troops to begin organizing an attack formation.

Finally, a few minutes later, the roar of heavy machine guns came from the street behind them, and three belts of ammunition mixed with tracer rounds were incredibly dazzling under the dim sky.

Then everyone saw the three meng hu off-road vehicles charging toward the enemy's machine gun positions as if no one was there.

For a moment, all the enemy's firepower was concentrated on these three meng hu off-road vehicles, with countless bullets striking their bodies every second.

But it was as if these vehicles were armored with heavy steel plates; they were completely fearless, charging recklessly down the street, constantly dodging obstacles, and firing back fiercely at the windows on both sides of the road with machine gun bullets.

When they were just over a hundred meters away from the enemy's machine gun position, two soldiers popped out from the last vehicle, holding what were clearly M20S four-tube rocket launchers.

Before anyone could see what was happening, eight rockets had already flown out.

Flames soared into the sky, sparks flew in all directions, and the machine gun position blocking the way was blown to the sky. The meng hu off-road vehicles directly broke through the machine gun position and charged toward the Fountain Plaza.

"God! Do those three vehicles have physical immunity turned on? Why are thousands of bullets hitting them, yet nothing happens!"

"What the hell!"

"I swear, I will never participate in the third round again!"

Including Togg, everyone watched in stunned silence, except for Li Xiao, who kindly reminded them: "My temporary comrades, now we are going to launch our assault!"
