Chapter 3415 The First Mission
In order to expand their territory, armed forces in various places constantly launched wars to gain more benefits.
However, they have many shortcomings in terms of weapons and equipment, and the combat effectiveness of personnel. In order to make up for this defect, the best way is to spend money to hire mercenaries for assistance.
So in this land, the business of mercenaries has grown. Mercenaries have no clear position. Their existence is to make money.
A paid today, and the mercenary organization took the money and went to help fight B, until A had no money or the battle was over.
B can also hire the same mercenaries before to help them fight A. As long as they are paid, they will do anything.
There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests, which is what this situation is about.
Xu Qiang was wearing a gray combat uniform and a helmet under his arm. At this moment, he was in a broken wall.
After entering this area, Xu Qiang soon received his first task, which was to protect the local forces from breaking through and safely sending them to the designated area.
After completing the task, he will receive a reward of three million US dollars. Money does not mean much to Xu Qiang.
What is really needed is combat experience. No matter how rigorous the training is, it is just talk on paper without the experience of fighting on the battlefield.
Whoosh...
A drone passed overhead. This was the fourth time it flew over. Xu Qiang and every member of the mercenaries knew what this meant.
"Be alert, a new round of shelling is about to begin!"
Xu Qiang issued an order in time. In this case, the drone is not here to give you a gift.
Release the drone in advance to investigate their defense arrangements. The next round of shelling will be three times this morning.
After entering here, Xu Qiang and his party witnessed the cruelty of war. When they woke up in the morning, this place was still a village.
However, the people in the village had already evacuated in advance. In the area of the battle, it doesn't matter whether you are a combatant or an ordinary person. The moment the shells fell, life became so humble.
Sections of ruins became a place of refuge. Before avoiding the shelling, the cold sword mercenaries needed to protect their employers in advance. These were some ordinary people and some teenagers.
Lenny is from this country. She knows the sufferings of this place. So since entering the war zone, Lenny has been trying her best to protect those who were displaced in the war.
An underground warehouse, originally used to store food, was built into a shelter at this time. There are more than 30 children hiding in it, staring at Lenny with wide eyes.
Living in the same world, other children are studying carefree in school, but their fate has changed. Now even the most basic survival has become a problem.
"Don't be afraid, we will be safe and send you home."
Lenny's skin color, plus she is a woman, she came to comfort these children, these children believe what Lenny said.
Along the way, the cold sword mercenaries repelled the enemy's siege seven or eight times, and each time they successfully brought them out of danger, and none of them were injured.
The young people who were traveling on the other side, and the middle-aged man who followed, they hid in a safe area, and the range of the shelling could not hit them.
Qin Gang grabbed a submachine gun, while Bart on the other side held a telescope and looked at the sky in the distance, his face gradually gloomy.
"The bombardment is coming..."
The sound of the shells whizzed past, coming from a distance and landing in this ruin.
The violent explosion rolled up a raging flame, and a section of the destroyed wall and house was completely torn apart and scattered into dust.
Dust and smoke were floating. A shell fell, and no casualties were caused, but everyone knew in their hearts that they could not relax at this time.
Xu Qiang leaned against the inside of the wall. As the captain of Leng Jian, he not only needed to avoid the bombardment, but more importantly, he had to guard against the opponent's sneak attack.
Two people who were guarding the front and investigating the situation reported the situation in front to Xu Qiang in time.
"Damn it! Another round of bombardment, how many shells do this group of people have!"
This was the fourth time Xu Qiang and his team were bombarded in the morning. They were all covered in dust and could only find a place to hide.
When they went north from South Africa, Xu Qiang and his team were well-equipped, and each of them was equipped with the most advanced weapons. However, they did not carry heavy firepower equipment because the conditions did not allow it.
Now that they have encountered such a confrontation, they can only hide and wait until the enemy's shells are used up, and then find a way to repel the enemy's attack.
The powerful artillery fire, like a meteorite falling from space, whistled down from the sky, and the sound of shells exploding continuously, seemed to raze this place to the ground.
"Pooh!"
Xu Qiang spit out the dirt that ran into his mouth. This was simply too aggrieved. If he had fought with strength, he would have killed this group of people long ago.
"Hold it, this is the enemy's test. They just want to use this kind of vitality to force us to show up and fight them."
Lenny and Xu Qiang said, although they were angry, it was better to stay here and not go out.
The enemy used this kind of firepower suppression, and it was precisely because of this that the other party was very guilty and did not dare to fight directly.
Xu Qiang understood this, and no matter how aggrieved he felt, he had to stay here honestly. Now he had to be responsible for the entire mercenary group.
The continuous bombardment of shells, the enemy's purpose was to completely destroy Xu Qiang and his group who were hiding in the artillery fire.
"Fire hard and destroy this group of mercenaries!"
The enemy leader shouted from the artillery position.
They had failed to repel this group of mercenaries for several consecutive times. The existence of mercenaries seriously affected their interests, and they had to get rid of these people.
In order to deal with Xu Qiang and his group, a lot of manpower and weapons and equipment were invested, and several interceptions were carried out before, but it seemed that the results were not great. Xu Qiang and his group were like cockroaches that could not be killed.
"Boss, if we continue to fight like this, the reserve of shells will be running out."
The subordinates found him and reported a situation to him.
If you pay attention to observe, you will find that everyone here has a black headscarf on his head.
The difference between the two forces lies in this headscarf. This side is black, while Xu Qiang and his employer is wrapped in a blue headscarf.
They were originally people of the same country, but due to some special reasons, an armed rebellion was triggered. The Blue Scarf Army was defeated step by step, forming a front line, and the two sides were in an endless confrontation.
