Chapter 464 Ambush
Just as the fighters were rushing forward quickly, the convoy that had just appeared a few kilometers ahead on the road suddenly sped up.
Almost at the same time, the convoy that had crossed paths with the escort convoy earlier had already turned back halfway and was heading towards their rear.
Looking down from the sky, the entire escort convoy was surrounded from the front and back.
After hearing the problem from the front, Consultant Yao knew that something was wrong. He immediately asked all members to move their guns out, and at the same time asked several cars in the rear to move up, forming a defensive formation in front to block the impact, and raised the machine guns on the roof, aiming them at the front and sides.
Even if there are esoteric rituals that can be used, firearms are still the most convenient and best to use.
But he knew that this was not enough, so he immediately contacted the small number of members of the Esoteric Cult Bureau inside.
Immediately, several members got out of the car and came to the side of the convoy under the cover of the car body in front. They spread bundles of carpet-like things on the ground on both sides of the road, and then hammered them into the edges.
These esoteric patterns can prevent people from far away from observing them normally and cause a certain visual dislocation.
The fighters with implants on the opposite side advanced very quickly and reached them in just a short while. However, even faster than them were the combat creatures.
Because they had wings, they came from the sky, but when they got close, they were affected by the field and fell down one by one.
It was then shot down by the fighters and gunmen in the convoy with weapons, which seemed to have no effect.
But Consultant Yao did not feel relieved. Since the other party came to attack them, they must be aware of their identities. These fighting creatures rushing over should be sent to test the effect of the ritual, so as to facilitate the subsequent surprise attack.
Sure enough, after the first wave of combat creatures passed, the fighters in the rear roughly understood their deployment and sped up their approach towards them.
Behind these people, some people raised their guns to try to support them, but as soon as one of them raised his gun, the long-range gunman here fired a shot, and his head tilted back and he fell to the ground on the spot. Even a strengthened skull could not withstand the accurate shooting of such a long-range firearm.
At this moment, the machine gunner on the roof of the car began to shoot. Seeing the fierce gunfire, the armed men did not rush to the front, but separated from there and tried to encircle it from both sides.
Advisor Yao, standing there, saw this situation and saw more enemy gunmen joining in from a distance. He decisively gave the order, "Everyone, put on your breathing masks and throw the cigarette bottles."
As the order was given, the escort personnel immediately threw out cans of things, which hit the surrounding areas of the convoy and the road. A series of bangs were heard, and thick smoke immediately came out.
This is a special smoke that is used to block vision. It also has the function of calling for help and support, allowing nearby checkpoints to discover the situation here. Wearing special goggles, they can identify the situation outside and create a situation that is favorable to them.
But today's weather is not favorable for them. The wind from the wilderness is quite strong. The smoke was blown away a lot as soon as it came out, and it is showing a trend of getting bigger and bigger. But even if it can only cover it a little, it would be good.
When the fighters saw the smoke rising, they did not rush in rashly, and the machine gunners on the convoy side did not rush to shoot either. They just used the cover of the smoke to allow the remote personnel behind to take roll calls.
If this continues, it seems that we can hold on. The radio station has sent a call for help to the central city and various strongholds. This place is not far from the central city. If the support team can arrive in time, we can be rescued.
But just when the situation seemed to be stable, a transport truck was suddenly seen speeding towards here, and it seemed that it wanted to knock out the vehicle blocking the road in front.
Without waiting for his order, the machine gunner immediately opened fire. Soon the tire of the car was blown out, and it overturned across the road, but at the same time it also became a cover, blocking the view from behind.
After a while, two "bang" sounds were suddenly heard, followed by two explosions in the middle of the convoy.
There happened to be an armored vehicle at the center of the explosion. The body of the vehicle shook, and the machine gunner on it was killed instantly. The fragments shot in all directions, affecting the armored vehicles more than ten meters away.
Another explosion occurred in the air, causing no casualties. Only one car's tire was blown out. It was obvious that the smoke and the ritual played a certain role.
Advisor Yao's expression changed. "Mortar?!"
This cannon was originally placed in the front by the ambush personnel, so that they could fire it when their convoy came over. However, the convoy stopped several kilometers away, making it difficult for them to hit the target accurately. So they moved the cannon forward and simply moved it to a nearby location to fire.
Consultant Yao knew that something was wrong. If they didn't shoot down the two cannons, they would have no choice but to passively take the attack. It was too late to send people out now, and the opponent would definitely be on guard. He immediately used the boundary to call for long-range helpers.
"Kill those two gunners!"
Upon hearing the order, the long-range gunners immediately opened fire, but it didn't have much effect because several protective shields were erected in front of the mortar, so they could only change their positions.
The two long-range gunners did not give up. They tried to change their position, but when they reached the edge of the convoy, they were attacked by the long-range gunners from the opposing side. As a result, they could not get out at all and could only engage in shooting at the other side.
Because of this delay, two more shells fell into the convoy, but fortunately neither of them hit due to the smoke.
But this is not a solution.
Consultant Yao frowned. There were many fighters on the opposite side. If he wanted to destroy the two mortars, he had to go forward himself. But the problem was that the enemy had at least one third-limit fighter, and there might be more waiting in the dark. His main responsibility was to protect Director Lei. Once he left, it would give the other party a chance.
In the Gard car at the back, Chen Chuan noticed the situation here. He knew that it would be difficult for Consultant Yao to handle it alone, so he gave instructions to Wu Han and Wei Dong.
Then he reached out and pushed the door, got out of the car, and walked out from the smoke in the convoy. As soon as he showed his face, he tilted his head slightly and a bullet brushed past him.
He ignored it and looked towards the mortar in front of him.
Judging from his observation, it was about two or three hundred meters away from here. He had no intention of rushing over, but reached into his pocket and took out several stones of different sizes.
At this time, the alienated tissues in the body were rotating layer by layer, and after exerting enough force, the arms were swung violently!
The protective shield in front of the mortar was suddenly hit by a sledgehammer and fell backwards, and the heads of the two gunners who were still preparing in the back exploded one after another.
At this time, a person nearby tried to go over and raise his shield to fill the gap, but after running two steps, a gunshot was heard and a stream of blood burst out from his head. It turned out that the long-range gunner behind him saw that there was no shield to protect him, so he took action.
Seeing this, Chen Chuan no longer cared about this place, but quickly moved to the other side, threw stones to shake the shield away, and the long-range gunners in the team quickly dealt with the gunners on this side.
Advisor Yao, watching from behind, felt a sense of relief, but he didn't feel much more relaxed. He could tell this was definitely a major force at work. Not only were they carrying artillery and dozens of implanted combatants, but the combat creatures he saw alone numbered at least a hundred. This was enough to start a small-scale war.
If their escort convoys were not also of oversized size, and if Chen Chuan had not temporarily joined the convoy, they would probably have collapsed under the opponent's attack.
At this moment, news came from Jie Ping that a convoy suspected to be from Lianwei Zhongyu had just been seen turning back, but was now blocked behind.
After hearing this, he couldn't help but feel relieved. Fortunately, he had listened to Chen Chuan's instructions and sprinkled some tire spikes and placed a lot of tire puncture devices on the road behind. There was not just one place, but some were placed at intervals. Those cars could not come over for a while, and they had to get off and clean up first.
This way, we won’t be attacked from both sides for a while.
After the mortar was destroyed, the other side did not attempt to attack the convoy guarded by machine guns. Both sides started long-range shooting at each other at the same time, and seemed to be in a stalemate for a while.
Consultant Yao, however, had a serious expression on his face. He believed that this situation would not last long because the third-level fighter on the opposite side had not yet joined the battle.
Once these people rush in at high speed, it will be difficult for the gunmen in his team to react. If there is no suitable person to step forward to stop them, it will only take a short time to destroy the entire situation that can still be maintained.
Therefore, the final outcome depends on the fight between the two fighters.
Just as he was thinking this, his expression changed because he saw a figure suddenly appear in his sight.
Although he was also dressed like a fighter, the speed he displayed clearly showed that of a third-level fighter. He stared at his figure closely.
But I don’t know if he was worried about something, but he just stood there looking in the direction of the convoy and didn’t move forward.
But he did not dare to be careless at all. He was mentally prepared. Once someone came in, he would step forward to resist. As for Director Lei behind him, he could only leave him to Chen Chuan for the time being.
At this time, an extended armored vehicle was driving towards this side. Masashi Masaaki was sitting in the back seat, holding a knife and looking forward.
Although the battle ahead was very lively, and there were many strange things that had never been seen on the island, they had almost no effect on someone like him. So he didn't pay too much attention to it, but just looked forward to his opponent.
The car came to the front and slowly stopped. Someone hurried forward to open the door, and the person in the front passenger seat turned around and said, "Mr. Jian Cheng, we have arrived. Please take care of the rest."
Makoto Masaaki said solemnly, "Leave it to me." Then he picked up the knife and got out of the car.
