Chapter 99, Tactical Interweaving
In battle, the consequences of being picked on the buttocks can be catastrophic.
The rioters were attacked from two directions by two infantry platoons led by Coady, and they could hardly put up any effective resistance.
If the people of the 3rd Battalion in the front were not sure what was happening behind and their top priority was to guard the grain trucks, and they did not have time to cooperate and launch an attack from the front at the same time, the thugs would have collapsed even faster.
But even if not, it’s not a big problem.
Objectively speaking, Cody felt that the military skills of the team he was leading were still inferior to those of his old troops, but they were better than that mob, and their weapons and equipment were stronger.
At least it's not an iron barrel rifle.
At the same time, after realizing that among the enemies, the cultists who could release storm bombs were the biggest threat, those two enemies became his focus.
He picked out the most progressive-minded soldiers among his men who were capable of fighting tough battles, and then led them personally to fight the cultists.
This is the way to fight a tough battle.
And when he led his men to kill the two sorcerers, the battle was no longer suspenseful.
The remaining thugs were either killed or escaped.
Instead of leading people to chase, Cody led his team to approach the grain transport team.
The soldiers in charge of the escort were still very cautious and did not let them get close. It was not until Cody showed up that the soldiers on the other side realized that they knew him and then let down their guard.
After exchanging secret messages, Coady left behind a platoon, along with the 17 survivors of the original escort team, and took the wounded to the No. 2 distribution center they were responsible for.
By ensuring that this amount of food can be delivered first, we can also ensure the normal operation of the dozen or so food distribution points corresponding to the No. 2 distribution center.
Then, there are two platoons and the team responsible for escort, which can also ensure safety as much as possible.
As for Coady himself…
He pulled up the brim of his hat and listened to the fierce gunfire coming from a distance.
His fight is not over yet.
"Let's keep going! There are more comrades who need our support!"
"Yes!" The soldiers had just won a battle and their morale was high.
…
Coady quickly led his troops to a new battlefield.
The battle situation here is much more problematic than the one he just solved.
This should be the No. 3 distribution center transportation route. A group of thugs have occupied the convoy. The number of thugs in this group is larger than the previous ones, probably more than 200 people; and the proportion of cultists among them is also higher. Cody saw five at a glance.
He knew how difficult it was to deal with this guy who could release evil magic. When bullets hit their storm shield, they had to empty at least three magazines to penetrate it; and the other side's wind bullet hit them like a grenade. What's more, there were quite a number of armed thugs around them to provide protection.
From this perspective, the infantry platoon responsible for transporting the food was probably doomed. Whether all of them were wiped out or some of them were defeated and deserted, they could no longer be counted on.
There were also two infantry platoons coming from the No. 3 distribution center for support. Cody knew the leader of the team, who was also a "red hat" political commissar.
But the enemy they faced was too strong and they couldn't get through at all.
All they could do was to maintain the line and ensure that the enemy could not break out.
However, they were outnumbered, the enemy had the help of a sorcerer, and they were afraid to use any weapon. Even though they had a few mortars, they did not dare to fire for fear of destroying the food.
Under this circumstance, their front line was somewhat precarious.
Coady immediately led his troops and rushed forward.
The arrival of him and the dozens of reinforcements he brought with him eased the situation to a great extent.
During the battle, Cody found another red hat.
"Taddius! Thadius!"
"Caudee?"
The man in the red hat turned around, looking a little surprised.
Cody didn't have time to reminisce. He immediately stated his purpose: "We can't fight like this. We need to use our cannons!"
"But those grain carts..."
"Don't worry about it! Win the battle first, then worry about the food!" Cody said, pointing outside, "Look over there! Someone is pouring fuel. They want to burn the food! We can't let them succeed!"
After saying that, he fired a volley of bullets in that direction, killing the person who poured the fuel, and then quickly retracted his head.
"Okay!" The political commissar named Thadius also made up his mind. He crouched, retreated, and began to issue orders.
Soon, the mortar teams from the three platoons were in position.
The firepower suddenly became much stronger.
After Thadius came back, Coady continued, "It's not enough. We have to find a way to deal with those sorcerers."
"Do you have a plan?"
Cody grinned: "Nothing special, just trying my best, do you dare?"
Thaddeus was stunned for a moment.
Coady patted his red armband and asked, "What's wrong? You are a political commissar, why are you hesitating?"
"Fuck!" Thaddeus gritted his teeth.
"That's the way it should be!"
The two quickly formed a small team.
There were seventeen people in total, forming two vanguard teams.
They each led a team, divided into two ends, and started from the outside to make a roundabout move.
Ten minutes later, Coady and his team were in place.
He estimated that there were still two minutes left before the agreed time for launching the joint attack.
He strictly ordered the soldiers not to show their heads and wait patiently.
The enemies seemed to sense that the frontal firepower seemed to have weakened. They became restless and sent out men to launch a tentative counterattack.
Seeing this scene, Coady was a little worried that there would be problems with the frontal defense after losing almost one-fifth of the manpower.
But fortunately, I managed to hold on for two minutes.
When the time came, the multiple mortars fired at the same time; the squad machine guns, which had changed positions and been silent for a while, also opened fire fiercely at the same time.
The soldiers also raised their heads and began to suppress the shooting with all their strength.
At this moment, the firepower projection of the entire army increased several times.
The armed thugs who occupied the convoy were suppressed for a while. Even the sorcerers did not dare to show up casually. Even if they had the storm shield, they were just some blue robes, and their skills were not as good as those of the gray robes or even the gods. If they were hit by too many bullets, their shields would be broken.
At this moment, Coady shouted, "Go, go, go! It's our turn! Don't waste the opportunity created for us by other comrades!"
After saying that, he was the first to rush out.

It's a bit difficult. I have no manuscripts left. I wanted to update but I haven't finished it yet... There is still one chapter in the afternoon or evening.
