War (2)

At the same time. 

Outside Teddy's shelter. 

Bang bang bang bang bang bang!!!!! 

Boom! Boom!　 

The roar of the cannons was accompanied by a hail of shell fire that kicked up smoke and dust all over the sky. Sam and his squad, who were a main point of fire, hid in the tower they had cleared earlier, and were suppressed by the surrounding enemies without giving them a chance to counterattack. 

After saying goodbye to Airon over the radio, Sam along with his squad had secured the firing ports as it was necessary to support his people outside, and by the time these people realized that they had sneaked into their shelter, they were in at least a defensive position. 

Originally, Sam's plan was to eliminate the people around him, then fire light machine gun fire at the enemy's important points. With the cooperation of war snipers, it is not too difficult to deal with the enemies. 

Of course, things developed in the direction he expected, but when he killed some guards with a sniper rifle, after the container fell inside the mall, all the enemies began to attack the tower they were in. 

"I'm hurt, I need help!" 

As he heard someone screaming for medical attention, Sam, who had asked for a report of the attack, had not had time to relax at all, as the main goal of all the enemies was to kill him first. 

After holding off the attack, many of these people were attacking like crazy and almost without stopping, they were all doing their best to hold off the advance of his people and it was something he did not understand. As was evident, none of the people in this shelter surrendered and all preferred to take up arms and attack. 

Airon's people had explicit orders, everyone after the main attack was to eliminate the enemies without stopping. The snipers were the ones who took most of the casualties, especially those with anti-tank rifles that were perfect for eliminating the cars modified with machine guns. 

As for the walkers, it was not a very serious problem since they were eliminated within seconds of their appearance and thanks to Airon stealthily sending a group of people to drive away all these walkers, there would not be any kind of problem in this confrontation. 

Meanwhile, several Hummves with machine guns and soldiers entered the main square of the cult base. Many had barricades and the advance was slow, from time to time the helicopters in the air attacked with some bullets and eliminated the most problematic barricades. 

When Sam knew that support had arrived, he climbed down the stairs of the tower and joined his people to begin employing order of battle. 

Unlike Airon, who was facing dozens of people in the narrow space of the building, Sam was facing the siege of hundreds of people in a wide area at this point, and was truly in a war zone. 

"The machine guns will need to lock on a target and it's enemy heavy weapons, watch out for long range fire and enemy grenades!" 

As he said this, Sam deployed to the left where it was the most complicated place and began to advance along with his people slowly and without much haste. 

Perhaps seeing that Sam was advancing very quickly, but some enemy heavy machine guns, he turned the cannon to his direction, smiled mockingly and prepared to fire. 

Boom!!! 

But before the bullets came out of the machine gun, a sniper bullet pierced the air outside the base and hit the man maneuvering the machine gun in the head. 

When the guard dropped the machine gun downstairs, at the door of that tower, two soldiers belonging to Airon's group took control and under detailed reports started shooting at the people inside the mall. 

At the same time, in the building behind, there was also a shooting. 

This time, from surrounding the enemy to engaging the enemy, many of the doomsday cult guards present split into three different groups and went out through hidden doors to surround the enemy and attack them from behind. 

The sound of violent gunfire spread from three directions at the same time. 

Bang bang bang bang bang bang!!!!! 

Boom! 

It could be said that for every wounded soldier on Airon's side twenty enemy people died, and for every death Airon's people killed thirty enemies. The experience, training and equipment was very different after all, no one had vests or helmets that could save lives, so the difference was very big. 

During this time, someone tried to put a heavy machine gun uptown in the mall, but was shot dead by a sniper rifle before he prepared to open fire. After two people died in a row, no one continued to take the initiative to stand on the machine gun where the mortality was one hundred percent.

But after fighting, some cult members suddenly discovered that the enemy seemed to be invincible at all, and the number of people on their side became smaller and smaller. 

They were being slaughtered and at great speed. 

In addition, several sniper rifles continued to reap the lives of their comrades. Just now, relying on the rear attack of their people accompanied by a strategic surprise attack, they thought they could turn the overall situation of this battle around. But that attack never came, soon some people could not stand the pressure and immediately turned and fled.

When there is one person committing an act of cowardice, there are two and then three. After the first person escapes, another one immediately runs away. The remaining people who were still fighting when they saw this knew what was the priority of their own interests. How can they sacrifice themselves for others? They also chose to separate and escape as best they could. 

This time, one by one they turned their backs on the enemy, and all became moving targets. 

This battle came quickly and ended extremely quickly at least outside the mall, but it's not too strange to think about. 

The guards maintaining security outside the mall numbered at least two hundred people, men and women with weapons who had no combat experience at least in a war zone, so they died quickly under enemy fire. On the other hand, Airon's people had experienced soldiers who had been in well-known wars, many deployed in areas where there was daily gunfire. 

A few minutes later, when the last cult member was killed, the battle outside the mall was deemed to have come to an end. 

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! 

"Don't forget to damage their heads, we don't want these bastards turning into the undead and slowing us down as we load up the supplies." 

"Yes, sir!" 

Walking quickly to Teddy's room, Airon and his people inside watched as Sam and the others claimed victory in less than ten minutes of engagement, he raised his hand and looked at the hours and then grabbed his radio, "Zz.... This is no time to celebrate, I need you to take the watchtowers and move forward carefully, there are many people in the mall and they are possibly waiting for the moment to ambush you." 

"We need to be careful..." 

But as if Airon's words had magic, a series of numerous shots came from many windows of the mall towards Sam's convoy, which generated numerous wounds and some casualties, this attack was not expected as it would be very risky from the enemy. 

The confrontation seemed to resume, but Airon could not worry about that side of the battle as he knew his people would solve it easily. 

A man advancing alongside Airon looked up and saw the numerous quanta that had been modified to be some sort of cell and asked, "But what should we do with these people?" 

Hearing this, Airon turned his head to look and discovered that a dozen survivors in dark, ragged clothing, with helpless faces, were slowly walking out of the ruined building at this moment. 

"These people should be imprisoned here by the cult of this place, we don't know their nature after all..." 

Looking at the appearance of these people, Airon thought for a moment and said, "Go and tell them that we are at war with the cult, and someone will release them after this battle is over. If they want to stay here and wait they can do that, if they don't want to wait and can get out of this place on their own, it's time to do that too." 

"I am try, sir..." 

Hearing this arrangement, thinking of the indifferent and fierce faces of Airon and the soldier he was talking to, a woman named Tamara stepped forward and walked towards the bars of this room. 

After talking to the prisoners, numerous depressed faces showed joy in knowing that the enemies of the cult were reasonable and all even volunteered to fight them. 

"We are already near Teddy's office, no need to delay us." Airon said after resuming the attack. 

... 

That was when the attack was showing very clear signs of victory for Airon's people. 

The team that wanted to ambush Airon's people were slaughtered within seconds by the helicopter's visualization, it was really a foolish idea to do it this way. 

"It looks like everyone is being slaughtered!" 

Witnessing the level of power and attack from Airon's people, Nick, who was with his sister and Daryl in a building with the other snipers, looked at the corpses on the ground and his nervous mood lightened, he saw that his sister and then to the people in this room.

"Good news, most of the people with combat skills have been killed."

"I hope we get the key to the submarine and get out of this place as soon as possible, I don't like how this place feels." Alicia said as she looked at the result of the attack.

"Maybe you're right…" Daryl muttered in a husky voice.
