514 Hope is still there
"Call for support! Call for support! At 10 o'clock, it was about 100 meters away from the smoke of friend or foe! Inside the headset, the sound of liaison helicopter support sounded, followed by the roar of the squad support machine gun.
Tracer bullets weave between buildings, and the infantry of Ellan Hill now prefer to use tracer rounds to determine where they hit rather than conceal their firing positions.
After all, there are very few demonic attacks that can actually threaten the machine gun position, and those that use magic to attack will generally choose more valuable helicopters or fighter jets to attack.
A volley of bullets crossed the crowd and hit the demon dogs who were chasing and killing civilians, black blood suddenly splattered, and the remaining demon dogs still kept running forward.
These terrifying creatures that don't have much intelligence are sometimes very clumsy, and they only know that their offensive nature makes them particularly easy to destroy.
And sometimes, this stupid character also makes them very difficult. At least, in the current situation, these demon dogs who don't know fear and don't know how to retreat are much more dangerous than those demon soldiers with weapons in hand.
"Whoosh!" Above the heads of the Marines of Irlanhill, on the short wings of a Cobra helicopter, a rocket launch nest hung from a rocket launch that was constantly firing rockets.
The rockets weren't meant to cover the civilians, they hit farther away, destroying some of the buildings and knocking the demons out there in pieces.
At the same time, the cannon under the nose of the helicopter was also firing, sweeping pieces of bullets into the demon dogs' ranks.
In the rising white smoke, the demon dog had little left to move on. They had to dodge in a hail of bullets, and the distance between them and the civilians they had been chasing before was completely widened.
"When the group of people has passed through the smoke, immediately call in the naval guns and block the blocks ahead!" The company commander of Company A looked at the several UH-60 helicopters that had already gone away, and opened his mouth to order.
"However, if the guns fire, the survivors may be killed as well." One soldier put forward his opinion: "They may not have died from demons and would have been killed by our artillery fire." ”
"There's no way around it! We can't save everyone, and instead of risking the demons to get close to our lines and threaten the lives of our soldiers, it's better to cover the neighborhood with artillery......" As a commander, the company commander of Company A felt that he was responsible for his soldiers.
He scratched the map with his hand and ordered: "If a human crosses this line, then we will save people, if not, then we can only blame them for deserving." ”
"Yes!" There was no argument, and the platoon commander immediately stood up and saluted: "Establish an artillery blockade on this line, and if there is a demon crossing the blockade line, immediately open fire and annihilate it!" ”
With that, the platoon commander turned around and left, taking his men and starting to deploy a stronger defensive line. It seems that they are going to hold out in the vicinity for a long time, and all the points of fire must be strengthened as soon as possible.
Looking at the refugees gathered nearby in the open field, the company commander of Company A motioned for a helicopter full of refugees to take off immediately and return to the landing ship in the distance.
Then he pressed the butt of his automatic rifle and tilted his head to look at the soldiers of the Southern Kingdom in armor: "Thank you for your cooperation!" According to the regulations, you, as soldiers, can only leave Shakburn last. ”
"It should be...... We say thank you. An officer of the Shakburn City Guard withdrew his gaze from the helicopter in the distance, and solemnly said to the commander of Company A: "Thank you for coming...... Thank you for all you have done for us. ”
"Don't rush to say thanks, I need people now, lots of people! Maybe you and your soldiers can help with some tasks that I find dangerous. The company commander of Company A asked, "Is there any problem?" ”
"That's what we're supposed to do." The officer of the city guard smiled wryly, but did not refuse: "As long as we can help, we are willing to follow your arrangement." ”
"Good." The company commander of Company A nodded and pointed to some passages in the distance: "You arrange for some people to stand guard near these passages to meet the refugees and your soldiers who have gathered...... Arrange them, keep order, and let them gather around the clearing......"
After speaking, he pointed to a farther place: "Find some soldiers who are not afraid of death and are willing to go on missions, go find those nearby refugees, tell them that we have a safe zone here, and let them take refuge here as soon as possible!" Can it be done? ”
"......" The officer was silent for a moment, and then nodded vigorously: "No problem, I'll personally lead people to find those civilians......"
He took the sword in his hand, turned around, and asked loudly to the soldiers behind him who were still panicked and tired: "I need a few volunteers who are not afraid of death, come with me to find those civilians scattered in the city, and send them back here!" Would anyone like to go with me? ”
The air of silence continued, and no one spoke. However, in this oppressive atmosphere of despair, one soldier silently raised his arm, then the second, then the third......
"Is there any water?" Seeing that among the dozens of subordinates he brought over, more than a dozen of them raised their arms one after another, and the officer showed a proud smile on his face, turned around and stretched out his dirty hand: "We ran all the way, and we haven't had time to take a sip of water yet." ”
"You can rest for 10 minutes!" Looking at his watch, the commander of Company A handed the spare water bottle on his waist to the other party: "We will expand the security zone, and there will be a fire blockade over there to shorten the defense area!" Do you have any suggestions? ”
"If you push a little further south, maybe two blocks, with a wall against the sea, you can make the flanks safer." The officer of the city guard pointed in the other direction and said, "And, if you move faster, you may find some city guards who are still resisting." ”
He said as he handed the jug that he had taken a few sips to his men who were willing to follow him out to die. Several people divided the cool fresh water in the kettle one by one, and then handed the kettle back to their commander.
The officer from the Southern Kingdom embarrassedly handed the empty kettle back to the commander of Company A: "I'm sorry, I drank all your water." ”
The company commander of Company A did not take the kettle, but drew the pistol on his waist and handed it to the officer who he looked very pleasing to the eye again: "The kettle is given to you, you don't have to return it to me!" But this ...... Remember to give it back to me when you're done with it. ”
As he spoke, he made a simple gesture, operated the loading action, opened the safe, and then made a re-handed action to the other party: "If you can save a few, save a few." ”
The officer of the city guard did not whim, took the pistol, and then turned and walked towards the exit where there was no artillery fire, and the soldiers who had voluntarily left the safe zone.
"Company commander, you just believe that they will come back?" Looking at the backs of these men in armor leaving, a soldier with an assault rifle leaned over and asked.
The company commander glanced at his subordinates, then looked at the soldiers of the Southern Kingdom who had already walked away, and replied, "Watching these people stand up, I know that the humans in this place are not dead...... So, even if they don't come back, here's ...... It's also a place worth taking back! ”
The soldier with the assault rifle nodded thoughtfully, looked at the figures that could only be seen faintly, and gave a military salute to express his respect for the warrior.
At this moment, on the dock about 2 kilometers away from here, a hovercraft lowered its hatch directly in front of it next to the wreckage of a demon warship.
On the turrets on both sides of the hanging door, the gunner is controlling the large-caliber rapid-fire machine gun, clearing the surrounding demon troops that have collapsed.
The demon soldiers, who had just faced the human sword and did not care, were mostly corpses that fell on the corpses under the attack of these shells.
The corpses of the human soldiers lying on the ground were quickly buried, and the enemies who had killed them were buried on top of them.
After all the huge hanging doors on the hovercraft were opened, the dwarven troops, wearing heavy armor and barely able to be transported by helicopter, appeared on the battlefield in rows.
The dwarven soldiers, marching in full shape and carrying grenade launchers, quickly took up the beachhead, armed and heavily armoured, like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, clearing the surrounding targets that might threaten the hovercraft.
Two lightly armored vehicles then disembarked from the hovercraft, flanked by heavily armed Marines.
They warily checked the dock with their weapons, and the next second they saw the corpse under their feet that almost covered the ground.
"Immediately expand the beachhead! I want to guarantee the absolute safety of the pier! In an hour, the transport ship will be docked! As soon as the commander of Company B stepped off the hovercraft, he shouted loudly to the soldiers beside him: "The soldiers of the 3rd platoon are in charge of the left flank!" 2 platoons cover the right flank! 1 row forward forward! Look where our Company A brothers are, we're going to pick them up and take them home! ”
At his shout, on the dock on the other side, another hovercraft leaned against the shore, and some other soldiers of Company B had also been killed, and the demon troops on that side were also cleared, and soon the fighting in the harbor was more than half stopped.
"Long live Iran Hill! Make these damned demons pay the price they deserve! "Stepping on the corpses of compatriots and enemies, the number of Irlanhill soldiers, more and more, let out a series of shouts.
