Chapter 592 Total Annihilation
"The last two teams, behind the blue wall ruins on the north side."

"Surround them and kill them, and the battle will be over."

"Yang Shu, block their retreat route, and shoot them whenever they show their heads. Don't save bullets."

"We don't have much time left, and they don't have much time left either. These are the last five minutes!"

"Hold on."

"We may not be able to leave, but we can't let them leave!"

"understand!"

Intermittent replies came from the headset. Chen Chen was leaning against a low wall, holding an HK416 that he had taken from the body of a dead enemy.

He had already used up all his bullets, and now all the ammunition he had was the two magazines he had just picked up.

The cruelty of war was fully revealed in this small community. It was clearly a modern war with interweaving of long-range and short-range firepower and coordinated ground-to-air firepower, but with the intensity rising infinitely, it eventually slid into the simplest, most straightforward and direct direction of "exchange of numbers".

Just in the past 15 minutes, the first batch of more than 100 support troops who arrived early exchanged their lives for the remaining four Black Hawk helicopters in the air.

The so-called "replacement" does not mean shooting it down with missiles or rockets, but simply using one's own life to use up the opponent's ammunition.

If it was a normal siege, a strategy like supporting troops would never have any effect.

the reason is simple.

If a country can produce one helicopter air assault formation, will it be unable to produce a second one?
-
But this was not a normal siege.

Because of the frenzied offensive launched by Syria on the border, the Turkish Air Force and Army Aviation Forces stationed in Gilis have been severely constrained.

A large number of helicopters and fighter jets were sent to other areas along the border to carry out air strikes against the Syrian government forces that were wreaking havoc in those areas.

So, the ridiculous situation happened.

The Turkish side really has no way to pull out a rotating helicopter attack team in a short period of time. After the four Black Hawks return, they will have to wait at least an hour to complete the supply and return to the battlefield!
The loss of air superiority instantly deprived the Turkish ground forces of their greatest reliance, and they had to speed up the mobilization of armored forces and move closer to the community.

However, the situation inside Azaz is complicated.

The 1 Syrian government troops stationed here were indeed defeated and dispersed, but they were not killed.

Thousands of people, thousands of guns, hundreds of various types of rockets, anti-tank missiles, and dozens of recoilless guns are scattered throughout the city. You never know from which corner a shell will come out and break your tracks or penetrate your armor.

Therefore, after entering the city, the armored forces moved extremely slowly and the command and dispatch were completely out of order.

This was not the responsibility of the frontline commanders. In fact, except for a small number of armored units that needed to cooperate with the infantry advance as planned, most of the tanks here were supposed to bypass Azaz, which had been "captured", and continue to advance towards Aleppo.
Coupled with the suppression of long-range firepower from the last artillery battalion that rushed to Aleppo City, the role of the Turkish armored forces has been weakened to the limit.

They could only risk using a large number of infantry to launch a surprise attack, trying to complete the support before the decapitation squad was completely wiped out.

Their first batch of infantrymen who arrived collided with the second batch of elite veterans from the Syrian government forces.

60 to 300, the Syrian side was almost wiped out.

However, they also killed 60 enemies and delayed the battle for a full 15 minutes.

The streets crisscrossing the community were filled with corpses.

The Syrian government soldiers even began to build barricades directly with the corpses of their comrades and enemies, and when the bullets passed through the human sandbags, the flying blood and flesh fragments blurred their vision.

The smell of blood overwhelmed the smell of gunpowder on the battlefield, making people feel nauseous.

But even though the fight has reached this point, neither side has any intention of stopping.

For the Syrian side, they have no way out.

If you leave, you will die. If you don’t leave, you will die too. You have no choice but to fight to the end.

For the Turkish side, they have invested too much. If they cannot even complete the final beheading and allow the highest commander here to survive, the subsequent leapfrog attack will still face huge risks.

Round after round of troop deployment, wave after wave of attack and defense.

Chen Chen had been fighting to the point of numbness. The only thing he could do was to find a way to use more precise command to inflict maximum damage to the decapitation team that was still resisting.

As long as this team is destroyed, both sides will have an opportunity to suspend the exchange of fire.

It would be good for everyone if we could stop for a while.
At this time, Yang Shu had already set up a position where the last two remaining groups of the decapitation team were located according to Chen Chen's orders.

He had already thrown aside the heavy XM109 and replaced it with the M249 equipped with a thermal imaging sight that he had picked up from somewhere.

Bullets kept flying out of the gun barrel. Yang Shu was not a very good machine gunner, but the keen perception and battlefield insight developed from serving as a sniper for a long time allowed him to pin down eight enemies in the bunker by himself.

However, he couldn't hold on for long.

200 rounds of bullets will be used up in 3 minutes.

Within these three minutes, Chen Chen had to use the only six-man assault team that still had the ability to move and fight to complete the final harvest.

This is the most dangerous moment and also the final, life-and-death game.

Chen Chen took a deep breath and ordered again:

"Li Bang, take Pingchuan and approach from the right side to attract enemy fire and establish flank suppression."

"Lin He, follow me and leap forward from the front. Close the distance to within 40 meters, find a favorable shooting position, and establish frontal suppression."

"Liao Cheng, Gou Jin, the two of you will quickly disperse after we start the attack and go to the battlefield to look for usable weapons."

"We can't penetrate them with the rifles we have. We need rocket launchers or mortars."

"Give me a signal once you find it and strike the enemy bunker immediately. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

At the command, everyone took action immediately.

Li Bang threw a smoke bomb and jumped out of the cover to the right.

The enemy squad's bullets followed closely, but under Yang Shu's continued suppression, their shooting finally lost its initial accuracy.

Li Bang and Pingchuan successfully reached the second attack position on the right and locked the sides of two enemies in the distant bunker within their fire range.

Without any hesitation, the two men immediately pulled the trigger and hit the enemy who had most of his back exposed.

"Bang bang bang bang -"

After a series of gunshots, the enemy fell to the ground.

Chen Chen knew that this could not be a fatal injury.

I don’t know what kind of bulletproof vests those people were wearing, but they were definitely not ordinary dragon scale armor.

Not to mention the 416mm bullet used by HK5.56, even the SCAR-H that I used before couldn't penetrate it at all.

However, the significance of flank suppression is not to kill.

If you want to annihilate the enemy, you have to rely on yourself.

At the moment when Li Bang opened fire, Chen Chen keenly seized the opportunity for the enemy to fine-tune its formation.

He may have less than three seconds, but it was enough.

"go!"

Chen Chen slapped Lin He's shoulder, and the two of them jumped out from behind the low wall.

Lin He was extremely fast, and the rugged terrain seemed to magnify his advantage in flexibility.

In just two steps, he had reached the shooting position designated in advance by Chen Chen, and successfully completed the firing in the direction of the enemy, providing cover for Chen Chen who fell behind.

Two seconds later, Chen Chen arrived behind Lin He.

At this time, in order to protect Chen Chen, most of Lin He's body was exposed outside the bunker, and the enemy who had peeked out from behind the brick wall on the opposite side had already locked his position.

Without any hesitation, Chen Chen stepped out with his left foot at the moment before his body fell and supported his body with his knees.

This is the muscle memory he has trained countless times, sliding kneeling and shooting.

The buttocks rest on the feet, the upper arms rest on the ribs, and the right cheek rests on the gun.

The twelve-word formula flashed through his mind, and in the blink of an eye, his crosshairs had overlapped with the enemy's head.

"boom!"

Single shot, headshot.

The enemy fell backwards on his back, and Chen Chen pulled the muzzle of his gun sideways and pulled the trigger continuously, pushing another enemy back.

"Lin He! Get down low!"

Chen Chen yelled.

"understand!"

Lin He lay down, and at the same time, he shook the gun and replaced the magazine. "The last two! We are running out of bullets!"

"Grenade!"

Chen Chen moved the gun to his left shoulder, held the gun with one hand and kept shooting, while pulling off the last fragmentation grenade in front of his chest and throwing it forward with a straight-arm throwing motion.

At a distance of less than 40 meters, this kind of casting is completely stress-free.

The grenade drew a perfect arc and landed behind the bunker.

"boom!"

The explosion sounded immediately, but it seemed a little dull.

The enemy's counterattack firepower was not weakened by this grenade. At a certain moment, it even became more ferocious.

"I can't hold it in anymore!"

On the radio, Yang Shu's voice had become a little hysterical.

"Last 50 rounds! The machine gun will be scrapped in 30 seconds!"

"Received! Withdraw from the battle position!"

"Understood! Get out of the battle position! Where should I go?"

"Go find a gun!"

Chen Chen answered briefly. He had never imagined that at the end of the battle, if his side wanted to maintain firepower, they would have to pick up guns on the battlefield!
In his memory, no battle had been so brutal.

This also shows that the two groups in front of him are definitely not ordinary people.

Intermittent gunfire was still ringing. Although the Dongfeng Corps only had the last four firepower points left, the advantage of frontal and flank crossfire still allowed them to seize some initiative.

The two sides still maintained a balance. Chen Chen couldn't attack, and they couldn't fight back either.

Time, time is the only decisive factor.

"Gou Jin! Have you found it?"

"There's a grenade!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a rifle grenade flew towards the enemy bunker.

Immediately afterwards, the voice of another team member, Liao Cheng, came from Chen Chen's headphones.

"I have an RPG!"

"Be careful!"

"boom!"

From the time he issued the warning to the time the rocket hit, the time was definitely no more than 1 second.

Chen Chen barely had time to hide, and the same happened to the enemy.

After the loud explosion, the fragmentation bomb scattered hundreds of metal fragments. Most of these fragments were blocked by the brick and stone bunkers in front of the enemy, but some of them still penetrated into the bunkers.

One of the remaining seven guns misfired again, but Liao Cheng and Gou Jin's attacks continued.

"And grenades!"

"boom!"

"Grenade!"

"boom!"

"RPG! Take cover!"

With continuous reports coming in, the two of them could be said to have used whatever they could find, and their attacks did create significant pressure on the enemy.

"I want to go over there."

Chen Chen spoke calmly, and then continued:

"Lin He, cover me."

"I go!"

Lin He immediately retorted, but Chen Chen held him down and said:

"Go to hell, I'll do it!"

"cover!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Chen curled up and moved to the left to get out of the cover.

At this time, the distance between him and the enemy had been shortened to 30 meters, and he himself was completely exposed to the enemy's firepower range.

This was an extremely risky action. What he had to do was to bypass the strongest-defended front line, enter the enemy's bunker directly from the left, and engage in close combat with them!
"I'll cover you!"

Yang Shu's voice came from the headset, and then a series of 5.56mm caliber bullets flew past Chen Chen's scalp almost glancing.

For 30 meters, he needs to take 20 steps.

Within 20 steps, Yang Shu and Lin He each emptied a magazine.

The moment the gunfire behind him stopped, Chen Chen had already reached the side of the bunker.

A grenade fired by Liao Cheng exploded less than 10 meters in front of him, but he used the cover of the wall to avoid the sweeping fragments.

When he stood up again, he finally saw the enemy who had been confronting him for a long time "completely".

4 people, 4 guns.

At this time, one gun was already pointing in his direction, one gun was turning, and the other two were still pointing elsewhere.

Time seemed to slow down, and at this moment, Chen Chen could hear the cowboy showdown in American movies.

Whoever shoots faster will survive.

Driven by adrenaline, his pupils dilated rapidly, and the dim light in the night vision goggles suddenly became extremely bright.

The crosshairs swept towards an enemy's leg, and Chen Chen pressed the half-pulled trigger the instant before the crosshairs stopped.

"Bang bang bang bang-"

Fully automatic!
He didn't want a fatal blow.

What he wants is hits and effective killing!
There was no priority, a rain of bullets swept across the entire area in a fan shape, and the four people standing in front of him all had their legs cut off!
He was indeed not much faster than his opponent. If it was a normal duel, even if he could kill one enemy first, he would be killed by the second enemy.

But now, the first 10 bullets broke the calves of two enemies within one second. They did fire, but the imbalance of their bodies caused their bullets to slightly deviate from their direction.

The bullet that should have blown Chen Chen's head off flew into his chest.

Head-on hit!

The ceramic bulletproof plate steadily caught the two bullets. Chen Chen's body shook, and he calmly fired the last bullet. Then he pulled out the FN57 from his leg and fired again.

"The last two."

"Come around!"

"No need! I have two bazookas here!"

Liao Cheng's shouting voice came across the night, and then two rockets flew towards the last two enemies who were trying to break out of the bunker at all costs.

"boom!"

"boom!"

There was an explosion.

Then, the community fell silent.

Chen Chen looked into the distance, took a deep breath, and issued his last combat order in this battle.

"Search for ammunition, maintain vigilance, and rescue the wounded."

"We're here and we're not going anywhere."

Half an hour later, Syrian government forces that had poured out from Aleppo arrived in Azaz.

The Turkish heavy armored forces, which saw no hope of attacking, covered the infantry's withdrawal from the battlefield, and the belated armed helicopters were forced to retreat by more than a dozen anti-aircraft guns.

The fire caused by the white phosphorus bomb was still burning fiercely. Chen Chen stood in the center of Azaz, at the highest point of the community, looking across the fire and black smoke at the city of Gilis in the distance.

The light there has been completely extinguished.

And because of the arrival of reinforcements, the light of Azaz is gradually brightening.
