Chapter 231: Seizure of Power
Zheng Dong drew a displacement pattern the size of half a basketball court on the ground, made a gesture of please, spread out his palms and led them into the circle, and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, please come in, let's go and see those real enemies, our common enemies." ”
The Minister of Defense, the generals of the Foreign Legion and some other staff members became curious, and walked into the center of the pattern one after another, and after they stood up, Zheng Dong silently recited the incantation, a dazzling white light flashed, and everyone came to an office, this is a command headquarters, the sound insulation is very good, and there is a noisy gunfire outside, but the sound has been suppressed to a minimum, and you can still feel the fierce battle outside. There was a row of people in the command headquarters sitting in front of a large screen with a map of the various firing points of the two lines of defense.
Each person is responsible for liaison in an area, and reports the real-time battle situation to the commander of the first regiment holding coffee at any time, and he is drinking coffee and asking an intelligence officer, "How is the second regiment doing over there?" ”
"The situation is not good, they have been divided into three sections, and now they are all relying on their strongholds to resist."
"The third regiment has solved the perimeter, they can support the second regiment, there is a big commander, don't worry, what I'm worried about is the first line of defense."
"Regimental commander, the enemy has broken through the minefield."
"Well, now the artillery on the defensive wall is ordered to cover the minefield with artillery fire." The head of a regiment commanded calmly.
The general of the Foreign Legion, who came with Zheng Dong, suddenly shouted excitedly: "Juan, is it you?" ”
The commander of the regiment was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, his eyes were red, he stood upright, and saluted a standard military salute, "Second Foreign Parachute Regiment, Captain Juan reports to General Mueller." ”
General Muller returned a military salute and walked forward quickly, the two hugged each other tightly, and he said with tears in his eyes: "It's been almost ten years, if you don't leave the army, at least you will be a major general." ”
"Why did you come here?" Juan asked.
"Your Grand Master brought me here." Mueller pointed to Zheng Dong behind him.
"Grand Master, you're here." Juan strode in front of Zheng Dong and saluted again, "The two lines of defense are safe and sound now, now it is the second line of defense that is under heavy attack, and the underground is still approaching the first line of defense, fortunately, before you left, the two lines of defense were built into a fortress group, so far, the enemy's attacks on us have been ineffective." ”
"How's the casualty?"
"At the moment there are zero casualties."
"Take us to the first line of defense."
"Grand Master, we can go up to the top floor to see the situation of the second line of defense first, and then take a car over to see the first line of defense." Juan suggested.
"Okay, the front line listens to you."
The command center is located on the side of the small square, which is a permanent fortress in itself, and is the tallest building in the fortress complex, and they go up to the top floor to overlook the entire defense area. The second line of defense, originally to defend against the enemy from the opposite bank, was later combined with the terrain to build a wall and cross-fire points in the back, no one expected that it was the second line of defense, that is, their logistical support line, that was the first to be attacked, and the Templars of the first regiment admired the foresight of the Grand Master.
"Those are skeleton monsters, someone resurrected those bones in the Paris tombs, their advantage is that they are numerous, which greatly consumes our ammunition, and the disadvantage is that they are vulnerable, one shot or even two shots can break up the fight, after all, they are all old people, haha." Juan finally humored.
Is there still Urizi's assistant making waves here? Zheng Dongxin said, he pointed to the skeleton that was blocked a hundred meters outside the wall and said: "Gentlemen, you can see, we are fighting, and those are our common enemies. The Grand Commander did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of the Foreign Legion soldiers because of the problems of face and his son, and his heart can be punished. ”
"The Grand Commander has a personal vendetta with you?" The Minister of Defense wondered.
"At the beginning, I also brought him here as I did today, and I saw it with my own eyes, but I didn't think that he would hold a grudge against me, his son Yu Bei'er was beaten for molesting my subordinate's fiancée, and he even declared a personal vendetta and sent an army to encircle and suppress us, but what are we doing, you have all seen it, we are fighting against the demons from hell."
"That shaman was brought by an old man in a gray robe, he can manipulate people to attack, it is he who said that you are leading the legions of hell to attack humans." The Minister of Defense said from the sidelines.
"Understood, how did I forget the Blood Spirit Sect, is that gray-robed old man missing a leg?"
"Well, he's limping when he walks."
"Okay, that's him, he's an elder of the Blood Spirit Sect, good at controlling corpses, hmph, your great commander cooperates with him really well, I'll settle this account with him, do you want to believe the person who is fighting the demons, or the person who is controlling the demons, I can tell you responsibly, these are all skeletons controlled by the gray-robed old man, let's go and see the real demons."
The light and heavy fire on the defensive wall has not stopped, out of the central fortress, you can smell the thick smell of gunsmoke, the inside of the two defense lines is still relatively calm, Zheng Dong and others took two armored personnel carriers, drove across the bridge to the opposite bank, went to the defensive wall, the battle defense guns and four machine guns on the city wall, and at the same time they were firing, they entered an artillery observation post.
The Ghouls, the vanguard of the Hell Legion, appeared at the entrance of the tunnel, and the dense hole poured down, and the minefield was probed by them with their lives, so Juan just ordered to cover it with artillery fire, but after a few rounds of rapid fire, the barrel overheated and had to stop for a while, and after a moment of stopping, the Ghoul Legion advanced a large piece towards the city wall.
"It's time for the quarry." Zheng Dong said to Juan beside him.
Hu An'an understood, "Set fire!" ”
The defenders on the city wall fired several incendiary bombs into the wide quarrying ditch, and the fire instantly covered the entire ditch, and the ghouls in the ditch were burned to charcoal, and the army behind was blocked behind the wall of fire, and the back was still crowding forward, and the front could not hold back, and groups were squeezed into the fire.
Zheng Dong had a bad heart, and was about to issue an order, Juan preemptively ordered into the walkie-talkie: "Artillery and machine gun fire points, individual rocket launchers, take the hole as the shooting target, hit me, and create a no-man's land." ”
Hearing Juan's deployment, Zheng Dong was relieved, he was originally going to give such an order, and a no-man's land was created behind it, which was convenient for the ghouls to retreat, if the ghouls continued to rush up, the ravine would soon be filled, and the defense line of the city wall would be in danger. If the ghouls in the back have room to retreat and are infected by the panic in front, they will definitely retreat, giving the defenders a little time to adjust.
As he and Juan had expected, the army of ghouls began to retreat, and many of them were squeezed back as soon as they popped up at the entrance of the cave. The fire on the walls was concentrated in the rout, and the ploughing was usually going back and forth several times, causing a large number of casualties to the ghouls.
Watching the Hell Legion retreat like a tidal wave, the defenders on the city walls let out bursts of cheers, as did the defense ministers, generals, and their staff who had brought them to watch. But Zheng Dong was not happy at all, he didn't know if those screaming banshees and giant poisonous insects were all wiped out in that explosion, and a few of them would be enough for them. It is imminent to rescue the Second Regiment and open up the logistics support channel.
"I think everyone has seen clearly, who is defending us humans, after I take you back, please make a choice between me and the Grand Commander, it is useless to convince him." Zheng Dong's grim eyes swept over everyone.
"I will join you with the 2nd Parachute Division of the Foreign Legion." The General of the Foreign Legion, Müller, took a stand.
The Minister of Defense exchanged glances with the other staff members, then nodded and said: "I think the Grand Commander is no longer suitable to be the head of France, General Muller, give me a battalion, we will go to him, we will set up a provisional military government until the new general election, in order to show that our move is related to the survival of mankind and the correctness of our actions, I will take the news reporters to follow up in real time, please don't mind the Grand Master." ”
"Totally agree."
Zheng Dong took them to appear in the square outside the Paris cemetery, Joagen did not expect that it was also General Muller's old subordinates, everyone sighed for the innocent sacrifice of the Foreign Legion soldiers on both sides, just when the Minister of Defense came to borrow troops, Muller and Joajean found a battalion commander to say a few words, and the soldiers of this battalion followed the Minister of Defense.
