Chapter 948: Jack's Pig Rush
Both Jack and Reacher's special investigators were prepared to be attacked after poking the hornet's nest last night. They even discussed a series of plans such as how to pretend to expose their whereabouts and lure the snake out of the hole.
However, the opponent's madness and reaction speed were beyond everyone's expectations. Considering that it was only five or six hours since the "robbery" last night, Jack was more inclined to believe that the attack was premeditated.
The truth was not important at this time. The moment they realized that they were attacked, the military instincts of Reacher and his men were instantly activated.
They knew very well that they were the priority target, so they did not choose to help others, but stayed away from the crowd at the first time and formed a temporary combat team with the cover of the tombstone.
In Jack's previous life, a group of yin and yang people with ulterior motives once controlled the public opinion of Seres at a certain period of time.
They ignored the battle loss ratio and the detailed war history of both sides, and attributed the reason why the Volunteer Army was able to defeat the United Nations Army to the "human wave tactics" with a certain kind of literati's unique ability of imagination (lust).
It seems that as long as they are not afraid of death, a group of mud-legged people with simple weapons can defeat well-equipped enemies by hundreds or thousands of times, or even draw with them.
What's more, some people will attribute the enemy's failure to some kind of mercy. For example, in a certain movie, after driving a fighter jet and firing recklessly, the American pilot chose to give up the massacre because he "admired" the courage of the volunteers.
What is the truth? Anyone with a normal mind will naturally distinguish it, and will not be brainwashed by a few movies and novels with private goods.
After the founding war of Seris, both armies learned a lot from each other.
On the one hand, they suffered from a serious phobia of "lack of firepower". With the continuous enhancement of their own industrial strength and information level, various large and small pipes were updated and iterated, and the heavy-armored synthetic brigade looked down on the world.
The US military also learned some advanced war thinking, such as the "left hook tactics" of using mobility to conduct large-scale interspersed detours, strengthening night combat capabilities and more proactive squad tactics.
You should know that even after experiencing the brutal baptism of the European battlefield in World War II, the tactics of the old US Army are still rigid and conservative. After the artillery air strike, the army advances, and when it can't push forward, it continues to call for support from the artillery and aircraft behind it, focusing on a large amount of arrogant firepower.
After being pressed to the ground by the Seres soldiers with their fearless will and the rugged terrain of the peninsula on the Korean battlefield, the old US Army has also changed.
However, after the Gulf War, perhaps because they always bully countries that are much weaker than themselves, coupled with endless security wars, it seems that this army has returned to its original form.
When encountering a sudden attack, they directly stay in place, desperately call for reinforcements, and wait for the Air Force or other long-range firepower units to help with precision guidance capabilities. It has become a tried-and-tested "panacea".
But soldiers are soldiers after all, and Reacher and his men are not ordinary soldiers. They are military police who specialize in dealing with ordinary soldiers.
After realizing that the enemy was armed with assault rifles and had an overwhelming advantage over their own side, which only had pistols, at a distance of more than 100 meters, they did not hide behind the tombstone and wait for death, but chose to take the initiative to attack.
Reacher and Dixon, Negley and O'Donnell worked in pairs, covering each other and moving forward, trying to shorten the distance with the attackers.
At this distance, the pistol with an effective range of only 50 meters could only be used to listen to the sound, and with the cover of Hannah and Jiejie on the flank, the four of them did not waste bullets, one person observed and covered, and the other rushed forward, and then took turns.
At the same time, Jack was running wildly among the trees with the help of the undulating terrain of the cemetery hills. Without a communicator, he could not communicate effectively, and he had never worked with special investigators.
Since they lacked tacit understanding, he simply played an American personal heroism, intending to outflank from the other side and cut off the opponent's retreat by himself.
Since the opponent has come, it would be a pity not to leave two people alive to ask clearly.
There was a bloodstain on Hannah's cheek, which was left by the broken glass after a 5.56 bullet shattered the rearview mirror.
She and Jiejie were actually farther away from the attacker than the others, but their car was parked on a forest path with a wide field of vision, and they clearly saw a gray BMW sedan slowly approaching from a distance.
When they found four gunmen with AR assault rifles getting out of the car, they were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that someone would be so arrogant as to launch an attack at a funeral in broad daylight.
When the two of them hurriedly folded down the seats, opened the rear seat partition and took out the Noveske N4 from the trunk, the other party had already entered the woods.
The girl did not try to shout loudly or call Jack to warn, but directly chose to use the sound of bursts of gunfire to cover the gunfire from the funeral.
Her decisiveness did work, not only serving as a warning, but also effectively interfering with the gunman's first shot.
But this also put her and Jiejie in danger. The opponent hid in the woods. In addition to the trees and bushes that blocked the view, there were also hard tombstones as cover.
The two of them were now on a forest path in the cemetery. Although it was a path, it was also a road that could be passed by two cars and was an open area.
Fortunately, the car they drove these two days was Jack's Hellcat. Both doors of this car were bulletproof. The reinforced steel plate and Kevlar filling effectively resisted the direct fire of 5.56 small-caliber rifle bullets.
With the cover of the car body, the two people could occasionally take the risk of returning a burst of bullets.
At this time, the three parties formed a stable triangle at the scene. The four people at the funeral site were located in the low place in the south. With the help of the densely packed tombstones in the cemetery, they approached the four gunmen about 100 meters away and could not get close at all.
The four gunmen were located in a slightly higher position in the north. They separated two people and easily suppressed Hannah and Jiejie who were in the lower position in the west. Jack's Hellcat had two tires on one side blown out, and sparks flashed from time to time on the body of the car.
The three points of the triangle were a hundred meters away from each other. For a while, a kind of stalemate was formed, waiting for the appearance of a person who broke the situation.
The man who broke the situation had approached from the east to within 70 meters of the four gunmen. Jack ran nearly 300 meters in the potholes and muddy ground in the forest around the high ground in the north at the speed of a 100-meter sprint. He not only avoided the enemy's sight, but also went around their side and rear.
"Bang!"
Amid the continuous bursts of assault rifle fire, a slightly discordant crisp gunshot suddenly sounded. A gunman who was concentrating on aiming had a blood flower on his left shoulder blade, and fell to the ground with a muffled groan.
