The fourth wave of mercenary attacks was repulsed, and it was almost 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
The battles became more intense with each wave.
In this fourth wave of fighting between the two sides, although there were still no casualties on the contractor's side, more than 10 people were injured.
Three of them were injured on their hands and lost the ability to continue fighting.
The mercenaries on the offensive side are even worse.
In this fourth wave of fighting, which lasted less than half an hour, more than 100 bodies were left on the battlefield, not counting those who were injured and taken away for treatment in time.
In addition, there were corpses left on the battlefield from previous battles that had not been moved down in time.
In total, it still exceeds 200!
100 to 200 meters away from the Jagheda base, these corpses with pools of blood lying underneath them were lying in a mess, adding a terrifying atmosphere to the battlefield.
There are corpses all over the mountains and plains, and the smell of heart is all blown by the wind...
More than 80% of people can't help but get hairy when they look at this.
Only veterans who have experienced life and death on the battlefield can stabilize their emotions and avoid losing control in such a scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Having lost so many men again, the number of mercenaries capable of fighting has almost dropped below 3,000.
As a mercenary commander, French Cannon finally realized that the Jagheda base in front of him was not just a tough nut to crack as he had imagined.
But a piece of iron!
Iron plate with titanium alloy sandwich!
If you can't use big means to destroy his will, or if you fight the opponent ruthlessly and risk your life, you will consume all the opponent's bullets.
It is simply impossible to break in with the advantage of large numbers of people.
He is going to despair!
However, this is not the most desperate moment.
When the time came to five thirty.
"Buzz——"
Suddenly there was a rumbling sound in the sky, attracting all the contractors and mercenaries.
"The bombers are coming? Ahead of schedule? Great."
The French artillery, which was already in despair, thought that the bombers promised by Montero were coming, and the hope again occupied the high ground.
As a result, as the plane flew closer and closer, the altitude from the ground became lower and lower.
The French cannon saw clearly.
I was also confused.
His professional military knowledge clearly told him that this was not a bomber at all and had no attack capabilities at all.
This is a twin-engine turboprop short take-off and landing multi-purpose small transport aircraft developed in the 1980s and produced in Germany.
What's the purpose of the small transport plane coming here?
The French cannon couldn't understand, so he could only watch the small transport plane flying closer and closer like thousands of other mercenaries, dumbfounded and confused.
"Buzz——"
The transport plane was less than 100 meters from the mine floor and dropped a bunch of stuff like dumplings.
"Puff puff……"
A large number of mushrooms appeared in the sky.
"These damn bastards, they actually got airdrop support."
Looking at the supply boxes falling in the sky, facing the Jagheda Mine, the French cannon's last thought of consuming ammunition was completely dissipated, and the desire to attack fell to the bottom.
French artillery secretly decided decisively...
He will never issue any more offensive orders until Montero's bombers arrive tomorrow and level the Gagda base.
It was different from the mercenaries who saw the airdrop of supplies and all of them looked as sad as if their father was dead.
On the other side, the contractors, who were watching the amount of ammunition dwindling and feeling increasingly weak, burst out into cheers more and more fervently as they watched the airdrops floating down.
Ammunition determines the balance of battle. Having ammunition means having confidence.
Although the small transport plane flew over, its transport capacity was very limited, and the total amount of all supplies was estimated to be less than 5 tons.
However, what Long Zhan only needs is ammunition, and 5 tons is enough for hundreds of thousands of rounds.
Even with the intensity of the fourth wave of mercenary attacks, with these bullets in hand, the contractor is enough to sustain him for another three to five waves.
certainly.
The premise is that they can all be received.
There is a certain degree of instability in the airdrop itself, especially in the Gagda base where the airdrop is located, with a total width of less than 200 meters.
Of the hundreds of boxes of ammunition falling from the sky, less than 1/3 landed in the first defense coil.
Contractors can reach out and get it.
The rest either floated to the battlefield where the two sides were fighting, or floated directly to the side of the mercenaries and were picked up by the mercenaries.
Even though there were people supporting the mercenaries behind them, they didn't worry about running out of ammunition at all.
Perhaps it would be a good thing for the mercenaries to be able to pick up the airdrops belonging to the contractors and let the contractors get even one less bullet.
The bullets received were not as many as expected, which made Long Zhan a little dissatisfied.
I thought General Soroun was the Minister of Defense after all, so he would send a medium-sized transport plane over and drop dozens of tons of supplies.
Unexpectedly, this guy was so stingy, so a small transport plane came over.
Moreover, airdrop technology is still very average, with an accuracy rate of only over 30%.
Seeing that the number of bullets suddenly decreased so much, and the duck in his mouth was about to fly away, Long Zhan was definitely unwilling, and he couldn't help but think about ammunition on the battlefield.
Long Zhan concluded that the mercenaries must have been frightened and would never launch a fifth wave of attacks tonight.
So we took advantage of the dark time in the evening to send out all the ropes in the entire base and distributed them to the defenders in four directions.
After the sky had completely darkened, the order to collect battlefield materials was issued.
In order to avoid any casualties on the enemy side and ensure the safety of the personnel, get the supplies back so that mercenaries will not find an opportunity to kill them like torches during the transportation.
The ropes collected by Long Zhan in the evening played their key role.
He asked the team members to tie ropes around their waists, then crawl out of the trench under the cover of darkness, then blend into the grass and crawl forward.
Climb to the battlefield where the two sides are fighting and find the supply box that was airdropped on the battlefield.
Untie the rope tied around your waist and tie it to the supply box to fix it. The other end of the rope is in the trench. The team members in the trench will start to use force to drag the supply box back along the ground.
Compared with team members holding or carrying ammunition boxes, standing up or bending down to run back, this method is undoubtedly safer.
The only troublesome thing is that some team members are required to crawl back and forth on the battlefield with ropes and tie the ends of the ropes to various supply boxes.
Climbing long distances is very physically demanding. Ordinary people can't climb more than a few meters before being out of breath from exhaustion.
Fortunately, the Titan team are all elites among the elite, and they are all "soldier kings" who have retired from the special forces. For them, crawling in a low posture is just a small case.
After nearly three hours of busy work, the entire battlefield was cleared.
Not only were the supplies and ammunition boxes dropped from the air, but also the weapons and ammunition of the mercenaries who were killed on the battlefield were confiscated.
The material ammunition on the entire battlefield has become cleaner than a dog licking it.
