Chapter 337 Attacking the heart first
The spirit was extremely agitated and the situation became increasingly tense, but the enemy never came.
Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.
That kind of state that gradually tightens the nerves to the extreme, but always fails to trigger it, can really make people completely collapse.
Gao Guang and the others had been preparing their formation since nightfall, waiting for the enemy to launch an attack at any time, but the enemy made no move.
It seemed like two shots were fired in the morning, killing two people just to say hello.
Gao Guang knew that he should let people take turns to rest, but he couldn't relax at all. He couldn't even close his eyes and take a nap.
I was so nervous that I found it difficult to breathe.
I don’t know what the enemy is going to do, but I have to admit that this time the enemy has indeed created unprecedented psychological pressure on Gao Guang and the others.
Gao Guang suddenly sat up. He took a breath distractedly and wanted to curse, but he was worried about waking up the few people who were already asleep, so in the end he just waved his fist in the air.
But the highlight's movements still woke John up.
John was clearly snoring just now, but he just said softly: "Why, can't you sleep?"
"Well, aren't you nervous?"
"Slowly you will get used to it, go to sleep."
John didn't mean to enlighten Gao Guang, because he knew that anything he said was useless. Of course, chatting with Gao Guang would help stabilize Gao Guang's mentality, but John didn't want to waste his rest time.
Gao Guang raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was midnight or 12:30 midnight, and his shift didn't change until two o'clock. He still had an hour and a half to rest.
From eight o'clock to two o'clock, most of the six hours of rest time was wasted, with only one and a half hours left, and it seemed that it was of no use even if I fell asleep.
Gao Guang felt even more upset, but at this moment, a sudden explosion cheered him up.
First surprised, then happy, followed by the sense of relief that it has finally arrived.
Gao Guang would rather fight with the enemy than wait endlessly.
"Enemy attack!"
Gao Guang jumped off the bed, grabbed his rifle, picked up the helmet that was next to him, slung his combat backpack behind him, and started running outside.
"Don't be so anxious. If someone asks for help, go out. Forget it, you can't sleep anyway, so just go and have a look with you."
John got off the bed, but Mike, who was sleeping in a daze, said in confusion: "Did the fight start? Has the fight started?"
"It's a fight, it's a fight! Let's go check out the situation."
I have always been afraid of something happening, but after it happens, I feel less nervous when I have to face it.
Gao Guang rushed out, and then said on the intercom: "What's going on outside! It's over."
"The enemy attacked the office building with mortars, but no one attacked. It's over."
After Fang Zhenwu finished speaking on the walkie-talkie, he said very uncertainly: "But the enemy will probably attack, it's over."
There was just an explosion, and then there was no movement. The excited and excited Gao Guang's footsteps slowed down, and then he said helplessly: "Isn't it just harassment?"
As Gao Guang said, this is harassment.
Everyone was woken up, and everyone returned to their positions and stood ready. However, when they looked around through the night vision goggles, there was not a single figure.
"Where did it explode?"
Fang Zhenwu pointed at the office building and said helplessly: "There, on the roof of the building, that location must be a mortar. The rocket launcher can't hit that location. I just raised my head, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see the location of the explosion."
Fang Zhenwu and the four of them were not on the roof because the small building of the treasury was too low and might be attacked by snipers. In addition, it was just a warning, so the four of them stayed in the room.
The main pressure is borne by Alpha Company on the periphery. Highlights: Three of them can concentrate on sleeping, two of them stare outside, and two of them rest aside, and then rotate every hour, so that all seven of them will not be too tired.
Gao Guang looked at the roof of the building, and then he said on the intercom: "Mad Dog calls Langley, what's going on, it's over."
Soon, Langley said angrily on the intercom: "Sixty mm mortar, two of our brothers on the roof were injured. The enemy just fired one shot and left. We haven't found the enemy's position yet.
complete."
The sixty-mm mortar hit the target with the first shot and left with one shot. The meaning of harassment was so strong that there was no need to guess the enemy's intention now. This was already a certain fact.
This one shot was enough to keep everyone in the factory awake, so the enemy could obviously fire more shells, but they didn't. They just used this one-shot bombardment to continue to torture Gao Guang's nerves.
The Tiaomen was pulled higher and higher, and the nerves were pulled tighter and tighter, but the enemy just didn't give him a chance to fight vigorously.
The exhaustion strategy is the enemy's psychological tactic.
As the saying goes, attacking the heart is the most important thing. The enemy's shot really hit the heart of the defenders.
Several people had nothing to say, and they had no use for all their strength and courage. This was really painful.
"Sleep, sleep, go back to sleep."
John suddenly yawned. He waved his hands and said, "Just do whatever you need to do. If you need to sleep, keep sleeping. I'm going back."
Paul said helplessly: "What if the enemy attacks?"
"Then let's fight back. But the enemy hasn't come yet, so don't worry about it. The next shot is estimated to be between three and four o'clock. It will allow us to relax after the tension caused by this shot disappears."
If there is another shot at the right time, if it happens two or three times, people with poor endurance will collapse."
It was hard to tell that John was not very smart, and he was very sophisticated when it came to analyzing psychological tactics. Several people in the room were stunned for a while, and then Patrick suddenly said: "You look like you have a lot of experience."
"Of course, we have done this to others, and we have been done to others in this way. When we were in Iraq, this happened every day. Have you never experienced it?"
Patrick spread his hands and said: "When I arrived in Iraq, there were no longer long tug-of-wars. The security situation has improved a lot. At least this kind of shelling will not last for a long time."
John said carelessly: "I don't know how many people have become neurasthenic because of this situation. In the end, they have some kind of post-war syndrome. They always feel like there will be bombs coming at any time. Those are weaklings with too fragile nerves. I hope you won't
It’s okay to be frightened by this kind of bombardment.”
After finishing speaking, John looked at Gao Guang and said: "You... better relax, but if you can see the enemy, just shoot. If you can't see you, just pretend the enemy doesn't exist. There's nothing to be nervous about."
Gao Guang knew that John was pointing him out, because he was really too nervous.
"I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm not nervous. Well, you guys go to sleep. I'll watch here for a while."
Patrick immediately said: "Great, please pick up my shift in advance. I want to take a nap."
Mike, John, and Patrick left. They continued to sleep in the dormitory, but Fang Zhenwu said to Gao Guang: "I guess you can't sleep either. It just so happens that you can guard the window for me. I'll lie down for a while."
Fang Zhenwu yawned. He went to the small bed beside him. He didn't take off his helmet or body armor. He lay down directly on the bed with the gun in his arms. Within two minutes, he heard a slight snoring sound.
Everyone’s nerves are very strong.
Gao Guang sat by the window, and Paul was opposite him. The two of them could see the entire office building, as well as the situation on both sides of the office building. Although the field of vision was limited, they could still see some conditions outside.
The lights must not be turned on. You can only use night vision goggles to observe the outside. After the two of them sat at the window for more than ten minutes, Paul finally said: "Let's talk about something, boss. What do you think the enemy wants to do?"
"Continue to put pressure on us. When we can't bear it anymore, they can easily take away all the gold."
Paul whispered: "In other words, the number of enemies is not large. Do you think so?"
Gao Guang thought for a moment and said: "It should be so. If the enemy has an overwhelming advantage, they can just charge and take us down at this time. Since they use this kind of psychological tactic, it means that they are not sure of victory in a strong attack."
.”
"Yes, I think so too, but this tactic has little effect in the short term, but how long can the enemy be sure to harass us like this? A week? Do they have such a long time?"
Combining the information he knew, Gao Guang thought for a moment and said: "It's hard to say. We don't know when the reinforcements will arrive. If the reinforcements don't arrive, the enemy can just keep besieging and harassing us."
After a few words, there was nothing more to say. Gao Guang and Paul also fell into silence. Then after a while, Francisco climbed up from the bed. He yawned, rubbed his face, and then came
By the window, he said to Paul: "You go and have a rest, I will watch for a while."
Paul went to bed, and Francisco and Gao Guang said, "Let's chat for a while. Do you think the enemy will shell again?"
There was another round of the same conversation, again with nothing to say, and then at two o'clock in the morning, John and the others came over to replace Fang Zhenwu and Paul.
At this time, Gao Guang already felt sleepy. He couldn't sleep while lying on the bed, but he finally felt sleepy while sitting next to the window.
Fortunately, it can be rotated during sentry duty, and Gao Guang can now lie on the small bed next to him and fall asleep soundly.
Gao Guang felt that he had just fallen asleep when an explosion suddenly woke him up from his sleep.
Gao Guang subconsciously sat up and looked at his watch on the horse, but the time read 3:20 in the morning.
"My judgment of time is really accurate..."
It was just as John expected. It was exactly what time it was that the artillery fire would be fired, so Gao Guang became less nervous almost immediately this time. But this time the artillery fire was not just one, Gao Guang hadn’t finished speaking yet.
The explosions sounded one after another.
After exploding more than a dozen shells in a row, Gao Guang was forced to wake up. He knew clearly that this was a plan to attack the enemy's heart, but it was impossible to maintain a relaxed attitude.
If the enemy really wants to take the opportunity to attack, as long as you have this mentality, it's impossible for Gao Guang not to be nervous.
Of course, it’s not just the highlighter that’s nervous.
"Did the enemy attack?"
Malcolm asked nervously on the intercom. He was not so panicked last time when only one shell came in.
But Langley shouted on the intercom: "There is no attack, just firing, these bastards!"
Naturally, Langley wanted to curse a few words. His tone and voice were obviously irritated. After cursing a lot, he said angrily: "No one was hurt this time, but if you keep waiting like this to bombard anyone, no one will be hurt."
I can’t stand it.”
After Malcolm and Langley finished speaking, Gao Guang said calmly: "The enemy is harassing us and messing up our mentality. Their next round of bombardment should be at dawn. Tell the brothers, it's okay.
Don't pay too much attention to the enemy's shelling, they are just harassing us."
Gao Guang just wanted to comfort others and give Langley a warning, but Langli was already in a mess. He said angrily: "Of course I understand this, but it's not you who were bombed on the roof! That's it.
Chapter completed!
