Chapter 684: Chapter 437: Victory Came Quite Suddenly! _2

He quietly listened to the distant movements.

At this moment, Elijah Hastings led Edgar Patterson and two others, laying down behind a dirt slope more than 500 meters away from the village, watching the convoy approaching from afar.

"One, two, three..."

Although it was called a convoy, there were only five vehicles in total.

The first two were off-road vehicles, the third was a pickup truck carrying people, and the fourth and fifth were pickup trucks carrying supplies.

By headcount, there were less than thirty people.

However, each of these people had a gun, and their equipment did not look like those of ordinary black men.

At least they all had standard equipment!

It was not that simple!

Although they looked similar to Type 87 camouflage, each person had an ammunition pouch, marine boots, and a matching beret on their head, showing that these people were not ordinary armed militants.

However, at this point, it didn’t matter whether they had a background or not; a fight was inevitable!

The first two cars began to turn due to road conditions, and the ones behind followed at a distance of about twenty meters.

Elijah Hastings felt a little regretful, if these cars were closer, maybe half of them could be wiped out at once!

There was no time to worry about that now!

Seeing the first and second cars had crossed the line, he pressed the detonator in his hand!

"Boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

Several explosions occurred in succession, and the second and third vehicles were blown up with flames erupting!

The people in the first car immediately sped past!

"Fire!"

Elijah Hastings ordered, and he himself started shooting at the first car!

Those people had previously heard that the village had no firearms, and hunting was still done with bows and arrows.

Despite that, the person in charge of this operation still carefully sent thirty elites, brought enough ammunition and supplies, hoping to capture the village in one fell swoop.

It’s better to be over-prepared than under-prepared, which was a lesson he had learned after doing this for a long time.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t know how it went wrong.

However, he still underestimated the strength of the other party!

Now he knew that they must have external support!

Otherwise, they wouldn’t possibly have such wireless detonated bombs!

But it was too late to regret now; he quickly drove the car and left the area!

However, the continuous gunshots that followed stopped him, and the driver, without waiting for his orders, made a sharp turn and parked the car by the dirt slope; the people inside the car jumped out immediately!

These people, relying on the cars and dirt slope, started counterattacking Elijah Hastings and his group!

Their response was very fast!

"Let’s go!"

Elijah Hastings stopped the shooting, looked at the excited black men, and quickly retreated from behind the dirt slope.

The gunshots stopped after a while, and some people behind the cars had already changed three magazines.

It was only after the person in charge slapped him on the head that the shooting stopped.

At this time, looking at the blown-up cars again, it was found that at least three or four people had been killed and seven or eight wounded.

Two cars were scrapped, but the supply trucks behind could still carry the rest of the people.

"Leave the seriously injured here, everyone else get on the supply truck, and let’s hurry to the village!" the person in charge yelled. He knew that they couldn’t stop now, either they had to fight or retreat.

Retreat would be too reluctant, so to boost morale, they had to fight through!

"Once we break into the village, you can pick any woman inside!" The person in charge promised benefits, and the armed personnel who had been previously hit were immediately excited as if they had been injected with adrenaline!

These people howled and rushed onto the trucks, and some even excitedly fired a magazine into the sky to express their emotions.

The trucks continued to move forward, spreading out further this time.

But the speed was extremely fast!

Then, they encountered the next wave of attacks!

A rocket was shot into the wind, and the person in charge, who was already on edge, saw the rocket approaching and immediately jumped out of the car!

Although he rolled down and hit his head on a stone, it was still better than being hit by a rocket!

"Boom!"

The rocket accurately hit the first off-road vehicle, causing a huge explosion and setting off a raging fire!

Except for the alert person in charge, none of the other people in the car escaped!

The two cars behind immediately stopped, and the armed personnel got out one after another.

At this time, even the slowest of them realized that staying in the car was like being a sitting duck!

Just waiting for death!

The person in charge crawled up, wiped his face with his hand, and found that it was all blood; he suddenly became furious!

"Charge into the village! Whoever charges in first gets a reward of one thousand US dollars!"

For these black men, one thousand dollars was a considerable amount!

These people once again charged forward as if they had been injected with a chicken’s blood!

Lincoln Harrington, who had fired the rocket, had already changed his position, ready to defend.

He didn’t want the villagers’ crosshairs to land on him in a real battle.

Soon, these people saw the outline of the village, the houses, and the women who hadn’t had time to hide inside.

"Ahh--!"

Seeing the women, these people seemed to have a surge in adrenaline, each running faster.

At this point, they didn’t pay attention to any tactics or movements!

As for the previous attacks, they thought those were the actions of cowards, not worth mentioning!

Just when they were about fifty meters away from the village, a few seconds away from a full sprint, the person in charge suddenly noticed something!

However, before he could even shout a warning, a voice suddenly yelled from the other side:

"Fire!"

Then there was a continuous burst of gunshots!
