Chapter 1720: Hacksaw Mountain 2
"Brothers, all cheer up. I hope to make sure the other person's asshole is busy when working as a engineer."
After Creed finished his deployment, a series of brief confirmations rang out in the communicator one after another.
"Engineers, only move under the cover of smoke. I don't want you to take unnecessary risks. Is this clear? If we lose you now, we might as well pack it home."
"Everyone will hate that, sir."
The engineer sergeant immediately quipped.
"We have never failed to fried gophers."
Hearing his voice, Creed could imagine the man who smiled bitterly now, knowing him well, who was a gambler and a notorious adventurer, which made him a natural choice for the leader of the engineer team, but also made him unpredictable.
"I'm serious. It's not good for me to die, so I'll open a beautiful big hole in that wall."
"We'll finish it, sir, you'll see."
The fire support squad is now in place and fires the battlements with fierce heavy bomb fire. Creed sees the bodies of careless defenders falling from high like disaster-affected birds, and whenever one of them hits the rock, there is a disgusting crunch.
“The mortar is ready.”
Communication lines crackled.
"Engineers are in place and wait for your order, sir."
"Mortars can shoot, fire quickly, and start three rounds first."
The next second, a familiar, almost musical whizzing sound came from the left and right sides, and the mortar barrel threw the explosives onto the guardrail.
Creed watched with satisfaction as the worn stone fortifications exploded outwards, scattering broken bricks and dusty rain, and the pale corpses were thrown outwards, smashing on the mountainside like bags of raw meat.
"Let's light a cigarette."
The soldiers then immediately began to throw their smoke bombs into the wet depression between their cover positions.
"Engineers, move upwards!"
"Yes, sir!"
Creed watched Sergeant and his men rushing toward the protective mesh from their cover. They didn't have much time to wire, so they could only use time bombs, so time was extremely urgent.
The mortar poured fire inward, squeezing the surviving defenders onto the top of the wall and leaving them too hastily to pour a lot of fire into the smoke-filled engineers below.
However, soon they noticed the smoke below, and worse, the rain and wind carried the smoke away faster than Creed expected.
One of the mutants shouted something, while the others leaned over and fired directly on the top of the wall.
Howling came from the smoke as some engineers were hit.
"Engineering, report!"
"My two young men are dead, sir, where is our cover fire?"
"Mortar, keep it forced."
Creed growled loudly.
"The engineer is under threat."
However, the mortar can only fire so quickly, and the protective smoke further dissipates, exposing the engineer naked to the shooting from the top of his head.
“More smoke, now!”
Creed roared loudly, more smoke bombs were thrown, but an engineer was still hit hard in the thigh while transferring the bunker and fell down.
Creed saw a companion of the man turn to help him, but the engineer captain shouted angrily, and the soldier turned reluctantly and picked up the hot melt bomb on the side.
The rest of the Cadian soldiers fired as much as they could, but the worn guardrail provided excellent defensive cover for the mutants, and after seeing their companions screaming and falling on the rocks, few mutants continued to be careless and turned themselves into conspicuous targets.
Instead, they just poked their heads out briefly and shot straight downward.
In an eight-man team, only three engineers were left working frantically at the bottom of the wall.
"Sir! More time, damn, I lost too many people, I need more time!"
Even as the captain said this, another of his subordinates fell silently and shot through the top of his hat.
Creed felt nauseous and almost dizzy.
"Retreat first!"
He said loudly.
"Damn it, we'll look at other methods."
At this time, the last of the two engineers remained screaming and spinning, his face was covered in blood and only the captain was left.
"No time, sir!"
The engineer captain replied that he stood alone at the bottom of the wall, working frantically with his hands, and above him, more than a dozen mutant guns aimed at him.
He has not had much time, only one option left.
"Good luck to you guys, you guys."
He left his last sentence in the communicator.
"Keep your head down, you all?"
After saying that, he activated the hot melt bomb
"Anniel!"
Accompanied by the dazzling white flash, Creed instantly completely deaf, and the air around him became extremely hot, almost tearing his lungs apart.
Then, stones rolled down the hillside and dust flew.
Creed coughed while trying to stand up without waiting for the dust to settle.
Jalan Kyle grabbed the edge of the breastplate and dragged him up.
"The damn castle was blown up!"
In Creed's mind, he saw the veteran Annill staring at him with a sly smile, and a lot of emotions suddenly came out of his mind, like a sudden flood, but he knew he had to put these aside, at least for now.
"Cadian."
He shouted firmly:
"You know what to do!"
With a vigorous battle cry, the Kadian soldiers rushed into the gap. At this time, the support point of the guard wall was destroyed, and large areas of the guard walls in the western and southern sections collapsed, causing chaos in the entire fortress defenders. Creed took advantage of the opportunity to rush into the fortress with more than 100 people, occupied a fire point and began to shoot at the back of the enemy on the guard wall on the west side.
Mutants can maintain morale by relying on the city walls. When the guard walls break their defenses, they collapse and the firepower on the west side quickly weakened, and the main forces of the 8th Regiment of Kadian and the 861st Regiment of Krieg quickly covered up.
The 8th Kadian Regiment is a typical Kadian infantry regiment, consisting of 8,000 experienced soldiers and 24 companies equipped with a large number of artillery, Chimera and even Riemanurus.
The 861st Krieger Regiment is an infantry regiment of 10,000 people, and a regiment-owned heavy artillery company. The total strength of nearly 20,000 people on both sides rushed straight to the fortress of Hacksaw Mountain, instantly submerged the fortifications that had spent a lot of life but failed to take a step forward for several days, and rushed into the fortress in one fell swoop.
"Issuing instructions to each company, there is an independent fortress inside the enemy fortress. First, clean up the periphery area, and then concentrate your efforts to attack the enemy's main fort."
