Chapter 157: The Longest Day (Part II)
"Boom!" Mortar shells fell on the beach and kicked up large clouds of dirt, and the flying shrapnel and shock waves brought death greetings to those nearby. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
'Bell Bell Bell ~~~' Promise suddenly leaned over and half-lay down in the sea, and a dense rain of bullets hit the anti-tank triangular cone in front of him, bursting out a string of dazzling fires.
The waters near the shore had been dyed red, and the air was filled with the strange smell of gunpowder mixed with blood. The sound of intense machine-gun fire and explosions, the pained howls of the wounded, and the inexplicable shouts of all kinds gradually began to fog people's heads.
The battlefield was chaotic, and Promise was going to find Captain Miller before acting. It's just that the defenders' firepower is too strong, and the dense rain of bullets is like splashing water. In this battlefield full of stray bullets, Promise can't leave his fate to luck.
After all, the anti-tank triangular cone is not a panacea, and he may miss a bullet at any time.
Half-lying in the seawater, he carefully observed the defenders' pillboxes on the opposite side, and when the machine-gun fire shifted, he suddenly got up and rushed out towards the seawall more than 100 meters away. The promised speed was very fast, and he walked like a fly on the soft sand full of craters. He even picked up a rifle as his weapon on the way.
"Whew~~~" Xu Xu, who hit his head under the seawall, curled up and gasped heavily. When he had just run in a straight line, he was definitely spotted by the defenders, and a series of dense bullets flew almost close to him. If it weren't for the promised speed beyond imagination, he might have been hit by now.
Although the Ring helped him create a fictional identity as a veteran, he actually promised to have never received formal military training. As for the military training, I have never taught how to run on the battlefield and how to use various tactics reasonably.
He didn't know anything about zigzag running or any other way of fighting. He even dared to stop halfway to pick up a rifle. That is, luck, coupled with excellent physical fitness, and fast running, to dodge the defenders' shots.
"You're in luck." A sapper holding **** next to Xu Promise smacked his tongue: "I haven't seen you run so fast in normal times." ”
With the help of the ring, the memories were affected, and the officers and men of the 2nd Ranger Battalion considered Promise to be their comrades. But Promise didn't know the people around him at all. I had to grin and respond vaguely: "I don't want to die yet." ”
It is a long barrier made of sand and gravel more than a meter high, similar to an embankment. There is also barbed wire with barbed wire. It is not easy to get past the blockade under dense firepower.
Under normal circumstances, if there is support from armored forces, neither the fire points of the defenders nor these barbed wire obstacles are a problem. Unfortunately, the armored troops who were supposed to support this beach had fallen into the sea at low tide. Now the people here are on their own.
The slaughtering feast on the beach continues. The Allied soldiers were almost slaughtered on the empty beach. A large number of soldiers were knocked to the ground, and the scene was thrown into chaos. The officers and soldiers could not even find their own formation.
In fact, the promise at this time is still looking at everything in front of him with the mentality of a spectator.
Ever since he came to the mission world, he has been in a state of self-protection, and he has not contributed to this cruel and bloody battlefield. Compared to the dutiful soldiers, there is not much that this black household has done.
Nor can this be blamed for promises. After all, he didn't come to this world to guard world peace, he came to complete the mission. Although he didn't know how the ring was going to get the energy it needed from this task of pushing the boat down the river, he didn't think much about it.
The ring thing is dealt with, he just needs to do his own thing. After all, instead of thinking about how the ring gets energy, it's better to think about what good rewards will be given after completing the mission. Anyway, since the ring absorbed the energy of the fire source in the world of Transformers, it has gradually begun to become a little weird.
The bloody battle continued, and many Allied officers and soldiers stained the entire beach with their own blood. But these brave soldiers still fought bravely, facing the bullets of the defenders head-on, until they were killed or broke through their positions.
In any case, no matter what future generations will say. If it weren't for these brave soldiers who died here, there would be no post-war peace. Just think about what a horrible hell the world would turn into if the nations that preached racial superiority were allowed to take control of the world!
At great cost, Allied officers and soldiers rushed across the open sandy beach to the bottom of the promised sand bank. With this long sand bank as cover, the Allied officers and soldiers were finally able to take a breather.
"Xu!" Wade, a medic wearing a paramedic armband, shouted "Help me hold my wound!" ”
When Xu Yu came back to his senses, he realized that the troops next to him had already laid down a long platoon of wounded soldiers. The condition of these wounded is very miserable, and most of them have broken limbs and arms. As for being opened, the intestines and so on abound.
Xu Promise looked at the painful tears of the wounded and the shocking wounds with complicated eyes, and listened to their terrible howls. I don't know why, I still have an indifference in my heart, similar to looking at NPCs, which has gradually dissipated, these are living people!
"Xu!" A soldier whose stomach was cut open by sharp shrapnel, red blood mixed with broken intestines flowed out of the stomach grabbed the promise to hold the wound for him, the original white teeth were soaked with blood, and his face was full of tears and choked out, "My mother will be sad, don't tell her how I died!" ”
It turned out that in the soldier's memory, the promise was a fellow from the same city and neighborhood as him. The trembling soldier already sensed that he was about to die, and was now asking his fellow to tell his mother about his miserable appearance.
“...... Okay, I got it. Although he was regarded as a friend, he couldn't even name the soldier in front of him. glanced at the shocking wound, and promised to respond dryly. For this kind of injury, he simply can't do anything.
“...... Mom, I want to go home. There were so many wounded here, and after a few quick gasps of breath, the unknown soldier quickly let go of his promised hand, and his pale blue eyes stared blankly at the lead-clouded sky.
"Huh~~~" The promise with a cold expression clenched his fists, stretched out his hand to the dead soldier's neck, and took off his nameplate.
"John. Simpson. Promise glanced at the bloodstained nameplate and reached out to close John's eyes, "Rest in peace, we will win this war in the end." ”
There were so many wounded that a few medics couldn't keep their hands full. Even with the help of other soldiers, it didn't make much difference. There was blood everywhere, and young lives were dying everywhere.
Watching the soldiers die on this beach far from their homeland covered in blood, and watching more and more blood-stained identity plates in their hands. The blood-stained promise on his hands slowed down, and something seemed to be condensing in his eyes. The softest part of his heart was touched.
Regardless of the country and the nation, these soldiers died in battle to save the oppressed. This is indeed commendable.
"Hey! Allow! Wade, a military doctor who was already busy and was about to go crazy, realized that the promise was wrong, and grabbed his shoulder and shook it vigorously, "Take it easy!" Take it easy! Don't be afraid! ”
"yes, I'm a little scared." Xu Xu, who originally looked a little sluggish, came back to his senses and smiled dryly, "But now I'm not afraid." ”
In the real world, he has a lot of wealth, he has gained many loves of his own, he has lived a luxurious life that originally only existed in his dreams, he is envied and sought after, he has superhuman strength, and he is rampant in many different worlds.
After all this intoxicating stuff, the promise is already a little lost.
At this time, he was stunned to find that he was becoming more and more conservative, and everything was focused on completing tasks and going home to enjoy life. It's like at this moment on this brutal battlefield, the promise has always been to avoid and save your life as the first priority.
Because he was unwilling to waste his ability to take risks, he thought that as long as he got through the battle, he would naturally be able to watch these soldiers win. After all, according to the background of this world, even if he does nothing, the Allies will still be able to win in the end.
There was nothing wrong with this, but Promise suddenly felt that if he continued like this, he would one day die in the mission world. This is not nonsense, this is the fear that Xu Xu has just felt.
The task given by the ring is not a simple upgrade to fight monsters, and one day there will be extremely tough opponents. At that time, when he needed to promise to fight for his life, he lost his courage. A person who has lost his courage and confidence, even in the face of a wild dog, does not want to fight, let alone a strong opponent.
The good life in the modern world fascinated his eyes, and that didn't bode well.
It's like at this moment, even if he promised to get through the battle, but then when Captain Miller chooses his personnel to attack, will he choose a soldier like him who has no outstanding performance, or even lacks courage? If he hadn't been chosen, would he have been a deserter? And then being hunted down non-stop?
Since he is in the game, there is no way out. (To be continued.) )
