Chapter 224.1: Correct Way of Using Anti-Aircraft Guns

At the North Gate of Longevity Town.

The gunshots that rang suddenly sounded like firecrackers, the bullets flying roared in the cold night, and the sky-high flames ripped apart the dark sky, like the cornets blaring from hell.

"Charge!"

"Cut their stomachs with your bayonet! Chop off their heads and use them to make jugs!"

"Kill!"

"Loot!"

"Tear them apart!"

After the night raid was discovered, the marauders no longer stayed hidden.

A man with short hair took the lead. He pulled out the pistol of the squad leader and pulled the trigger in his hand while shouting wildly.

The figures crawling in the snow stood up one by one, and like a group of jackals pounced on their prey, they screamed like undead and launched a surprise attack towards the north wall.

The battle was imminent!

Fewer than 4 guards stood on concrete walls and towers were caught off guard by the barrage of bullets, and a single exchange of fire immediately took away 2 of their lives.

The others weren’t in a better situation either and were pressed behind the cover by the swishing bullets, unable to raise their heads.

A blaring alarm sounded in the town.

The guards stationed at the station immediately took up their weapons and rushed to their respective combat positions as they had practiced countless times during the exercise.

Unlike the hyenas hiding in the ruins, these marauders were not only well-trained, but also equipped with the weapons of the Army, and their firepower was unusually ferocious.

In addition to the bolt-action ripper rifles, they were not only equipped with automatic weapons, but even 5 or 6 light machine guns!

Even if Wrench bravely rushed to the wall with his team as soon as the battle started, he still felt enormous pressure in the face of the surprise attack from hundreds of marauders and surging firepower.

Without using the trenches, they would not be able to stop so many people just relying on a wall.

Under the cover of the firepower from the rear, a ten-man marauder team took the lead to cross the trench buried in snow and sneaked to the place that was less than 20 meters away from the wall of the Longevity Town.

"Molotov cocktail!"

"Toss them!"

The short-haired man shouted loudly, and the dozens of marauders behind him immediately lit Molotov cocktails and smashed them towards the three-meter-high concrete wall.

With the shattering of glass, the flames soared into the air.

Although these Molotov cocktails did not cause substantial casualties to the guards on the wall, they still caused a lot of trouble for them.

This was the usual trick of the marauders in the wasteland. Creating chaos with Molotov cocktails, forcing the defender out of the lit cover, and focusing on attacking the weak points of the defense while compressing the defender's tactical space.

To a certain extent, the marauders' offensive worked.

More and more Molotov cocktails were thrown onto the wall, which divided the wall into several burning sections. A young guard rushed to the tower at the risk of his own life, took over the fallen comrades, and set up a light machine gun to shoot outside the wall. However, within a few seconds, he was taken away by a rocket shot from the darkness.

The tower was burning with fire.

"Fuck!" Wrench who was guarding the wall in the lead cursed, and threw out the wooden handle grenade after removing the safety cap.

With a blast, snow was splashed high, and a marauder fell on the spot.

However, in the face of the wave-like offensive, this grenade was like a stone thrown into the sea, and could not stop the surging waves at all.

The marauder with a submachine gun rushed close, took off the rocket launcher on his back, and fired a rocket towards the north gate.

The arm-thick rocket blasted a large hole through the iron door, but did not break the door open.

Seeing the failure to break the door, those marauders did not give up, and then rushed to place explosives all around.

The guards on the wall fired back, taking the two who rushed near, but were quickly suppressed by the bullets fired from a distance.

"There are too many of them!" The wounded guard leaned against the concrete wall and shouted to the captain not far away in pain, his arms covered in blood.

"Captain! They put the explosives at the door!"

"Do you have angles there? Are you able to shoot them?"

"I tried... But they've got too much firepower!"

Wrench gritted his teeth, made a decisive decision quickly, and roared on top of his lung. "Everyone, retreat! Let those beasts in and let’s fight them inside!"

Inside the north gate of Longevity Town, there was a construction site, where there were brick stacks buried in snow and an unfinished dormitory building.

This dormitory building was originally intended to house refugees. However, due to delays in construction by the blizzard, only the first floor, and the second floor had been built, and the outer wall of the third floor was only half-finished.

It was perfect to use it as a cover at the moment!

At the same time as his voice fell, Wrench raised the rifle and raked the outside of the cover, attracting the firepower of the machine gun.

Seeing that his teammates had withdrawn to the stairs, he threw the last grenade before activating the exoskeleton, jumped down from the wall, and followed in the footsteps of his teammates.

At almost the same time the guards were withdrawing from the wall, a loud explosion came from the north gate.

The heat wave and flames soaring into the sky blew the whole gate out, and the snow on the ground was blown several meters away.

Seeing that the gate was broken, the marauders cheered and rushed in with their rifles.

Fortunately, the people on the wall had retreated in time.

If they were a little slower, they would’ve been surrounded by the marauders and attacked by them from both the front and the back.

The guards who had retreated into the dormitory building finally got a chance to breathe.

Before the marauders had completely rushed in, Wrench immediately organized the remaining 30 or so guards and arranged a new line of defense around the building.

Some people were scattered around the dormitory building, and some people had set up machine guns at the windows and started a fierce exchange of fire with the marauders who had rushed into the town.

In less than 10 minutes, the battle situation had entered a new high.

The two sides fought around the north wall of the town, and each lost more than a dozen people. The people from both parties had gone crazy.

In the face of the brutal marauders, the guards' resistance was tenacious and morale was high.

Unfortunately, those marauders had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, equipment, and combat experience.

Many of them came here from the middle of the River Valley Province under the banner of Lion Fang. During this period, they experienced countless battles, big and small, and burned and destroyed countless villages.

As for the guards there, many of them were new recruits who had just completed their training. Moreover, their backgrounds were different. Some were recruited from refugees, and some were from surrounding survivors' settlements.

Some people may have experienced the test of blood and fire, but most of them were on the battlefield for the first time.

This was not lying in the trenches and shooting targets.

The murderous aura was suffocating, the fire was burning under their noses, and the smell of gunpowder was so strong that it almost choked them.

In the chaos, only the lights flickered, and it was impossible to see where the people were.

As more and more marauders crossed the gate, the guards had to shrink their defenses until they completely retreated into the dormitory.

The outcome of this battle seemed to have become evident.

If nothing else happened, the battle would be over within minutes.

Gray Wolf, holding the binoculars, glanced in the direction of Longevity Town with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth. "A group of weak chickens."

Victory came sooner than he imagined.

Originally, he heard that Black Snake had suffered defeat twice in the hands of these people, so he was prepared for a hard fight. He made a careful plan, and only ordered the night raid after observing the situation for a whole day.

However, what he didn't expect was that after the fight started, he realized that what stood in front of him was a group of rookies who had never been on the battlefield.

With less than 10 casualties, his men rushed in effortlessly and captured the walls and towers

Is this an attack?

What a waste of my plan!

The hyena, crawling at his feet, bared its teeth in excitement. It growled in its throat, and its eyes flashed with bloodthirsty gleam.

It smelled death and from how things were looking, it looked like it could have some meat for a meal tonight!

"... It's so strange. I thought there were at least seventy or eighty of them, but the number of gunshots I heard was only forty at most." Following Gray Wolf, the scout with a white cloth on his shoulders said in a low voice, his eyes filled with confusion.

He had been a scout for some time. Although he dared not say that he could guess how many people were in the camp with 100% accuracy, with his rich experience, his estimate had rarely been so wrong.

Standing on the other side of Gray Wolf, the burly man did not hide the ridicule on his face at all. Looking at the flaming wall, he said, "And they are all brand new soldiers. See how they reacted when they retreated? Many people are probably so afraid that they have peed their pants! Haha!"

His name was Wang Tuo, he was one of Gray Wolf's henchmen and a mercenary who joined the Bonechewer Clan with Gray Wolf.

Not only was his marksmanship first-rate, he was also an ability user!

The scars engraved on his muscles were all proof of bravery.

Looking at the brothers who had successfully captured the wall, Wang Tuo rubbed his fists excitedly and looked at Gray Wolf beside him. "Boss, let me go too!"

If he didn't join the battle now, he might not be able to get anything good later.

The 5 ten-man teams that stayed behind were originally to prevent the defenders from rushing out from the side door and flanking them.

But now it seemed that the opponent's manpower couldn't even fill the frontal battlefield. If they even tried to split up, it was no different from seeking death by dividing up the manpower.

It seemed like it would be over soon.

Gray Wolf put down his binoculars, thought for a moment calmly, and then gave an order. "You take a team and quietly get to the east side to the south of them. Don't let them run away. Remember, don't fight until they come out of the door. Don't kill them all, keep the 2 alive, I have something to ask them."

Chasing deserters?

He was great at this kind of work!

"Yes!" Wang Tuo took the order excitedly, and without any hesitation, he immediately ran down the slope and came to the front of his followers.

The group of hungry wolves were already impatient, holding their rifles with bayonets attached, looking at the south, eager for some actions.

Looking at his brothers who couldn't wait any longer, Wang Tuo shouted excitedly. "Brothers, come with me! Don't let our prey run away!"
