章 207: Chapter 177: The Boss is Really Awesome!_2

The gunfire continued.

Outside on the street, the cook and the others were still exchanging fire with the armed militants inside the building.

They simply couldn't breach the building.

Now Samir understood why Mosul was so difficult to capture.

Once inside the city, tanks had difficulty maneuvering.

Moreover, while the heavy machine guns mounted on Humvees could shoot at an angle, their 12.7 caliber bullets, though capable of penetrating thinner walls, couldn't demolish buildings.

As long as they hid inside buildings, the militants had too many ways to deal with the people below.

They didn't even need to fire, just dropping hand grenades would be enough to cause serious trouble below.

To forcefully advance, it would cost lives.

Although the US Army had announced casualties to be just over two hundred, in reality, the number of casualties suffered by the Civil Defense Force could be several times or even ten times higher, they just hadn't been made public.
