Chapter 100, Death of Cody
Cody's actions obviously attracted a lot of attention.
But the previous detours allowed him to occupy an advantageous position. When he rushed out, many enemies had their backs to him, and there was no cover to protect them.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Coady and his men killed many enemies with fierce firepower.
There were even two sorcerers among them.
One of them didn't react in time and failed to adjust the direction of the storm shield, so he was killed by several bullets; the other one did react but was hit by the concentrated fire of several people.
In a few seconds, several soldiers emptied a magazine, shattering its storm shield and killing everyone inside.
Low-level sorcerers are not strong enough, and ordinary bullets are enough to break their shields and kill them.
But then, when the enemy reacted, their days became difficult.
Especially in this wave of flanking and close-range charge, while killing many enemies, their weapons also ran out of bullets. Soldiers were arranged to ensure that there was still firepower in the magazines, but when others changed magazines, there was inevitably a vacuum of firepower.
Not only were there bullets coming at them, but there was also a wind bomb from the sorcerer that blasted towards them.
A soldier was shot in the leg and fell to the ground, and then several more bullets hit him and killed him;
The bullet hit the ground a little off-center and exploded at the edge of the team, but it still took the lives of two soldiers.
Although Coady tried his best to lead the team and seize a cover, in the process, only four people were left by his side.
This was expected, and Coady remained calm.
Use frontal fire suppression to attract attention, and lead a team to attack from the side, creating as many results as possible while still attracting attention.
Next, it’s up to Thaddeus.
He is bringing another team of people, and it is time for him to launch an attack.
There were only three sorcerers left in the enemy. If Thadius could achieve similar results as he did, then this battle would not be a big problem.
It is best to ensure survival as much as possible and retain combat effectiveness.
At that time, if the two of them could bring another eight or nine people with them, and insert themselves into the enemy's rear like steel nails, and the frontal troops could launch an attack under the cover of firepower, even if they were outnumbered, they would be able to defeat the strong with the weak and snatch the grain transport truck back from the cultists and thugs!
As he was thinking this, he heard gunshots and screams coming from not far away.
Thadius launched the attack as agreed!
But the next moment, Cody frowned tightly again.
This sound doesn't sound right.
A bit far.
He couldn't help but glance sideways, and the situation was not optimistic.
It seems that Thadius was exposed before launching an attack and was attacked by the enemy, and now he is in a panic.
Coady realized that he could no longer sit around and wait for results.
He looked to the four soldiers on his left and right.
They looked a little panicked.
Even though they were the best and most determined soldiers selected, they were now trapped in the enemy's camp, surrounded by enemies, and moreover, nearly half of their team had just died. Their morale was still shaken.
Coady knew what he had to say: "Now that we have come to this point, we must put life and death aside. Is there any room for retreat now? The only way is to win!"
"Let's go! Eliminate the remaining sorcerers. Victory will be ours!"
After saying that, he rushed out of the bunker.
It was not known whether the remaining four soldiers were truly moved by his words or it was just a subconscious instinct, but they all followed closely.
One soldier was behind, providing cover fire and attacking the enemies who tried to attack their comrades, while the other three, led by Cody, attacked the sorcerer who had his back to them and was attacking Thadius.
The sorcerer was instantly trapped in a desperate situation. There were enemies in front of him and behind him, and he could not hide to the side, as he would be exposed to frontal fire.
He was at a loss and was shot dead.
But the remaining two sorcerers are difficult to deal with.
The two of them stood back to back behind a pile of collapsed buildings. The broken building materials could serve as cover to block the frontal firepower; and whether it was Thadius or Cody, they could only attack the enemy facing them, and the enemy's storm shield was also opened towards them.
What made it even more difficult was that there were a large number of armed thugs guarding the two sorcerers. Their firepower was mainly directed at Thadius, suppressing the political commissar from coming up.
Quickly sorting out the situation, Coady did two things.
He pulled the ring of a grenade and threw it at the enemy.
The exploding grenade killed several armed thugs and also caused the storm shields of the two sorcerers to shake.
Then, he predicted the enemy's counterattack, dodged to the side, and indeed avoided a wind bomb.
The wind bomb blew away the two soldiers next to him.
Cody half-crawled and half-squatted on the ground, enduring the pain of the wind blade blowing off a piece of his face skin, and in an awkward posture, he fired fiercely at the sorcerer facing him.
The storm shield, which had already been shaken by the grenade, was flickering under the fierce shooting of the G9 rifle and was obviously in danger.
The sorcerer and several surviving armed thugs were completely attracted by the man in the black coat and red hat.
Bullets came at him so fast that Cody had to dodge. He was hit several times in the torso, but the plastic vest he wore under his coat protected him from the damage. He was hit in the shoulder, in the leg, and had an ear blown off... these were minor problems.
The fire he drew away created an opportunity for the two soldiers who were still alive.
The two of them fired all the bullets in the new magazine at the sorcerer. Even if only half of the bullets hit the target, it would be enough to break his storm shield.
The man a little further away emptied his magazine and wanted to retreat to reload, but was hit in the head by a bullet and died instantly.
The last soldier who was closest dropped his rifle and threw a grenade.
But the grenade failed to work and was blown away by an evil wind.
The sorcerer whose shield was broken was also terrified at this moment.
Just as his attention was drawn to the red hat, he was almost taken away by this wave.
It would take time for his storm shield to restart, and if a grenade was thrown at him, he would probably be doomed.
He was so angry that he even summoned out another wind bomb, which he smashed at the soldier who was trying to change bullets to attack him. The soldier's body was blown away like a rag, and he finally felt relieved.
After finishing this, he could finally shift his target and deal with the dying Red Hat.
Um?
What about the red hat?
When he looked up again, he saw the man in the red hat, dragging his injured leg, climbing up the ruins of the house next to him that was used as a shelter, and was about to jump down.
The pull rings of two grenades on his body had been pulled.
The sorcerer widened his eyes, but it was too late to do anything.
With a loud bang, the shock waves and shrapnel from the two grenades took the life of the sorcerer whose storm shield was broken, and also took the life of the sorcerer behind him who had his back to Cody and was facing Thadius's team.
It also took away Cody's life.
