Chapter 45: Metamorphosis
"Boom!" A violent explosion suddenly sounded not far from Ahmed's side in the next second, and in the distance outside the city walls, behind a scrapped truck, an armed man armed with a bazooka accurately destroyed the fire point that had just been exposed. Part of the body of the two mobilized soldiers was blown high off the city wall by a violent explosion, and then they fell heavily to the ground, and rolled out of the force for a long time before finally stopping.
Death and fear have become two faithful companions to Ahmed, reminding him that he is still lucky to be alive, but when he saw the scene just now, these two friends were left behind by him in an instant.
"Whoosh!" Ahmed, who was rolling and jumping to his feet, shook the bazooka in his hand, and after a brief aim, then pulled the trigger hard. A large rocket broke free from the blast and slammed into a pickup truck that had hidden itself behind a scrapped armored vehicle. Boom, the violent explosion engulfed the pickup truck in an instant, and the flames that erupted from the window were like a beast from prison, easily tearing the already unstable car body into pieces with three blows and two blows, and then the fierce burning fire quickly jumped into the air and turned into a puff of smoke and quickly disappeared.
Unfortunately, the epiphany counterattack was clearly unable to stop the enemy's attack, and the attack formation formed by the outnumbered enemy was far beyond the maximum attack power possessed by the walls of Ahmet, and in the sporadic exchange of fire, the enemy team finally approached only a few hundred meters from the walls.
At this time, the sentry cannon below has been completely scrapped under the dense rocket launcher attack, and there is no heavy firepower to stop the enemy's footsteps.
By the time he arrived at the base, a full week had passed.
After Li Lan ordered the destruction of the various armed personnel who had come to investigate, the flames of war had already burned.
That night, the enraged chieftains of the Shili arrived with a large army, and after some shock, greed skyrocketed, and a violent conflict began.
The machine-gun bunkers and sentry cannons hidden under the city walls gave them an extremely cruel lesson for the first time, and the machine gunners lasted a whole hour in the wasteland. Before the soldiers of both sides could fight, the major shili suffered heavy losses.
At dawn the next day, follow-up personnel arrived, bringing a large number of bazookas and mortars, and only then did the battle officially begin.
Under the blows of bazookas and mortars, machine gun bunkers and sentry guns are in ruins, and even if the base is constantly under repair, it is impossible to maintain these powerful defensive firepower.
A week later, in the midst of successive attacks, a sentry cannon in Zuihou was also removed.
Before that, the hospital was also built, medicines began to appear on the battlefield, and many soldiers entered the hospital and became hygienists on the various city walls.
At this time, the battle had already begun to heat up.
No one is willing to face such a huge loss, and no one will look at their own efforts without any return. Many shili took out their own pockets, and some real armed vehicles began to appear on the battlefield.
Despite the fact that these such things as old artillery and armored vehicles that can already be reheated, the real combat effectiveness is not very good, but they also cause huge problems for the defense. Many of the mobilized soldiers were killed or wounded by these weapons, and not many were actually killed by firearms.
As time passed, even Ahmet began to walk the city walls and take up arms to join the battle.
And Li Lan has been staying on the console, ammunition, medicine, repairing defensive weapons, and recruiting soldiers, which also keeps him busy.
After a week, a large amount of ammunition and medicine were produced, plus the machine gun pillboxes and sentry guns had been repaired before, and the funds for the base had always been in a state of using as much as they wanted, and there was no room left.
Even now, there has been a shortage of medicines. If you have enough ammunition, you can't get enough medicine. The newly built hospital is already full of the wounded.
In the past seven days, more than 500 of the 1,700 mobilized soldiers have been killed or wounded, and if it were not for the constant recruitment of soldiers, I am afraid that there would have only been about 1,000 left. However, at present, the available strength of the base has dropped to 1,500 troops, including more than 300 new mobilizations that will be replenished in a week.
For Li Lan, this is not an armed conflict, but a war, a war on his way to rise and advance.
This is a game of Red Alert in slow motion, he not only has to produce all kinds of things, but also has to constantly repair damaged buildings, as soon as the soldiers come out, they have to assign tasks to them, replace the troops on the front line on time, and arrange for the wounded to enter the field hospital. Everything looked like a game, but the smell of gunpowder smoke and gore wafting everywhere outside reminded him all the time that this was reality.
On the first day of the war, in a short period of calm, he walked up to the city wall for the first time, and as a result, he squatted directly in the corner of the wall, vomited all the stomach acid, and was uncomfortable for two whole days, and vomited whatever he ate. At that time, he was still carried back by the mobilized soldiers, because his feet were numb at that time, and his mind was also blank.
In the past twenty years of life, he has never seen what the battlefield is like, and the closest distance has been seen on the screen, purely beautified programs.
When he was on the battlefield for the first time, he watched the dark red blood flowing all over the ground, the scraps of flesh sticking to the strips of cloth everywhere, and the mutilated limbs and internal organs scattered everywhere. Outside the city walls, there were several vultures vying for half of the corpses, and bloodflies could be seen everywhere.
Such a purgatory-like scene completely subverted his perception of life, and in the battlefield, a very bloody truth was embodied, and grass mustard was worth more than human life.
The second time, despite the advice of Ahmad and Muhammadi, he climbed the wall again. This time, the nausea was still there, but he didn't vomit, but he was still terrified by the shells that exploded everywhere around him and the bullets that whistled overhead.
The third time, it was much better, there was not much nausea, and the fear in my heart was much less at the shells that exploded next to me and the bullets that grazed my scalp.
For the fourth time, he could no longer feel nauseous, and the fear of killing on the battlefield in his heart was greatly reduced.
The fifth time, although he still couldn't face the battlefield and the corpses everywhere, he still couldn't face it calmly, but at least in this environment, he could squat next to the corpses, chew and eat food slowly.
In the morning, for the sixth time, he walked up to the city walls, smelling the rot and watching the blood maggots wander among the rotting corpses, which could no longer affect him. (No book friends are eating!) Gorgeous has cut a lot of descriptions. )
For a week, no one had cleaned up the corpses of the armed men outside the city who had been wiped out by the mobilized soldiers, and at this moment, not only were there many scavengers and other scavengers in the sky, but there were also some scavengers swimming in the distance.
As soon as the guns were fired, they scattered and fled, and when the gunfire stopped, they would gather again under the temptation of food.
At noon, the fierce battle began again, and Li Lan returned to the console, controlling the situation of the entire base.
Today's Li Lan, whether in his demeanor or demeanor, is the same as a week ago, if he used to be an optimistic idealist, now he has transformed into a pragmatic doer. This change began when he first stepped into the battlefield, and the bloody battlefield became an important catalyst for his transformation. It was this unprecedented feeling that made him more mature.
If Li Lan was afraid of the last rocket attack in Bossaso, if he experienced the original scene again, the fear would not exist. This is the transformation of the mind, overcoming oneself in blood and fear, and honing one's mind and will.
At this moment, looking at the blue dots that kept disappearing on the map, Li Lan felt very heavy. In the control center, under the huge monitor, a 3D map floats, showing the appearance of the entire base and its surroundings very realistically, and these blue dots are on this three-dimensional map, which is divided into various corners of the base in the map.
Each blue dot represents a living mobilized soldier, and every time a blue dot disappears, it means that a soldier has died. Inside the barracks, every twenty minutes, a blue dot will appear, representing the appearance of a new soldier.
At present, there are the most blue dots on the city wall and in the hospital, inside the hospital, there are wounded soldiers, and on the city wall, there are soldiers who are fighting with the enemy.
