213.Chapter 213 The North Gate of the Armored Detachment
Chapter 213
After midnight, the sound of artillery and gunfire was noticeably much more intense, and the artillery fire continued to light up the dark night sky. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Three mechanized troops were dispatched to the core area of Jinwei, and they began to clear the area with the highest concentration of Zerg from three directions with the support of several points. One of several support points is the Institute, which is where ammunition is replenished and the wounded are treated.
"Major, the 3rd Armored Detachment of the 1st General Logistics Department has come to report, and I am Captain Qiao Yi. Please sign here!" Mo Bei had not yet left the research institute, and after contacting the General Service Department, a team of armored vehicles rushed over in less than half an hour. After Mobei signed, he took over the command of this armored force.
The General Logistics Department is not subordinate to the military, so some of the establishments are different from the military. For example, the armored forces, the general logistics department has several armored units, but they are neither armored divisions nor armored brigades. Rather, it was divided into detachments, each of which consisted of several tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, depending on the need. For example, today's task is to clear the Zerg, and the role of tanks is greater, so the number of tanks in the detachment is even more.
Originally, Mobei did not have the command of this armored detachment, but there were few commanders in the front line of the General Logistics Department, so after Mobei contacted the General Logistics Department, the department coordinated an armored detachment to come over to give him command and assist the friendly forces in combat.
"Major, what is our combat mission now?" Qiao Yi asked Mo Bei after signing, because the sound of artillery and gunfire was very loud, so everyone had to shout to let others hear.
"Follow the big army and help them!" Mo Bei jumped on a tank and shouted as he stood outside the tank. This armored detachment consisted of six tanks and four infantry fighting vehicles, but basically there were no infantry. The proportion of infantry in this clearance mission was very small, and most of the troops involved in the operation were fully mechanized units.
The armored units advanced steadily along the streets of Jinwei, and the anti-aircraft guns set up in the sky constantly attacked the giant insects flying in the sky. Giant bugs are constantly falling from the sky, but the casualties of armored units are also high, especially fire-breathers, praying mantis bugs and giant stinging bugs, which can easily destroy tanks.
Mobei and their troops advanced along the streets, occasionally eliminating a few bugs that had been missed by the large army, and soon, this force caught up with the large army in front.
"Major, the battle at the North Gate Pass is fierce, there is the last nest there, and many giant insects have gathered there to protect. There are also a lot of small insects around there, we can't locate the hive for the time being, and the navy also needs to rest, they can't help us!"
"Let's also go to Beimen Pass and see if we can help!" Needless to say, Mo Bei had already noticed the battle at Beimen Pass, where the gunfire was particularly intense, judging from the trajectory of the gunfire, the troops over there were fighting for the area around the hive.
Mo Bei's troops rushed to the area around the North Gate Pass, where the insect nest had been surrounded by armored forces in a semi-encircled tendency. From time to time, tanks with good visibility can shoot shells directly into the hive, but each time they do so, they will encounter fierce retaliation.
There are damaged tanks and the corpses of the Zerg everywhere around the North Gate, and there are giant insects in the sky from time to time, and every time a giant insect pounces, the tank is destroyed, and even the giant insect directly grabs the tank and flies into the air and throws the tank down from a high place. Dozens of tons of steel falling from the sky were extremely shocking.
Infantry came in from afar, and they installed anti-aircraft guns in nearby open spaces or on the rooftops of buildings to help the tank units resist the threat from the air. The artillery fire reflected half of the sky, and this was the fiercest battle between humans and zergs that Mobei had ever seen.
"Major, the troops in front have asked us to go around to the side and rear of the North Gate Pass for reinforcements, which is on the side of Wangji South Road. They need to open a passageway. Qiao Yi's head emerged from the tank again and shouted to Mo Bei.
Mo Bei commanded the armored detachment to bypass the position Qiao Yi said, and half an hour later, the armored detachment arrived at the combat site. It was littered with destroyed tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, and Mo Bei roughly counted the wreckage of at least twenty tanks and infantry fighting vehicles here.
There were more wounded soldiers further afield, and some soldiers had already formed a rudimentary line of defense along a few shops to protect the wounded. When they came over, a group of beetles rushed over, and the heavy machine guns on the infantry fighting vehicles opened fire and killed all of the beetles that had gathered together.
"Sir, can you arrange an infantry fighting vehicle to send a few of our heavy numbers to the rear? We have a few brothers who can't wait!" Before the tank stopped, a soldier with a lot of blood on his body hurriedly ran over, following the moving tank and shouting eagerly to Mo Bei as he ran.
"Qiao Yi, you arrange two infantry fighting vehicles to send them all away, and the matter here is left to us!" Mo Bei glanced at the place where the wounded soldiers were gathered, there were wounded and crippled soldiers everywhere, the sound of wailing was heartbreaking, and many soldiers didn't even have the strength to scream, they seemed to be waiting for death.
Fighting with the Zerg, ordinary soldiers are often missing hands and feet once they are injured, and the Zerg will always tear something from these soldiers when they bite down.
"Sir, thank you, thank you!" the soldier got Mo Bei's consent, turned around and hurriedly ran towards the wounded soldiers. "Those who are lightly injured and those who are seriously injured, hurry up, the commander over there has arranged a car for us, hurry up, hurry up, hold on, don't die on the road, we must live!"
The soldiers of the two infantry fighting vehicles got out of the vehicles and helped them carry the wounded soldiers into the vehicles. The two infantry fighting vehicles quickly returned along the same path and disappeared into the distant street.
Tanks and infantry fighting vehicles held the positions left by the soldiers before, and Mo Bei was about to go to the front to observe and see what was blocking the way of the armored troops here. It must not be an accident that so many tanks and infantry fighting vehicles were destroyed in this small place, there must be a terrible bug ahead.
"Why haven't you left yet" Mo Bei jumped down from the tank, and was just about to go to the pedestrian street around the corner in front to check, and then he found that the soldier who came to ask for the infantry fighting vehicle just now had not left, his unit had been disabled, and according to the wartime decree, he could return with the wounded soldiers to rest.
"I'm not hurt, I can help here!" the soldier ran over and said, "Sir, there are a few giant worms on the other side of the pedestrian street in front of you, which you have never seen before, and those giant worms can attack our tanks and infantry fighting vehicles from a distance. The buildings on both sides of the pedestrian street are also overrun by small bugs, and if we get too close to the pedestrian street, they can attack us at any time!"
