Chapter 68: Ninety-Five Pioneers Form 2
"Maja Farke......
The commander is not an idiot, he is no longer capable of anger.
He knew that when the prey tried to break out of the encirclement, the wolves would attack immediately, whether the encirclement was complete or not. At this time, whether you choose to gather troops or defend on the spot, it is not as effective as letting the train continue to run wildly.
The red dots that "rush" above the train are swimming in the sea, and the tentacles of the "mimic" aliens can rotate at high speed like propellers, and there is a layer of oily mucous membranes on the surface of the body, and they swim like high-speed submarines.
However, as soon as they spread their tentacles and burrowed into the mud of the seabed, they were ready to attack the train, their speed plummeted.
If you pause slightly, you will be left behind by a train that travels at 300 kilometers per hour.
It's the speed of life and death!
Now the freight train has become the more attractive one, as long as it lasts ten minutes, it rushes out of the ground, supported by its own missile planes on the British side, and there are artillery positions to pick it up.
So at this time, there is only one order left, "The train will not stop, and it cannot stop!" Troops at all levels, defend yourself! ”
However, this sentence was not heard by anyone, because at the same time, a voice identical to him appeared in the channel, "I am the commander, next listen to my orders!" ”
"Fark!"
The real commander is incompetent and furious, because he is actually banned from the channel!
*****
"Whoosh~whoosh~!" The train is speeding forward at breakneck speed.
Some dirt suddenly fell on the top of the reinforced concrete tunnel, and "boom~" smashed on the train.
A tentacle extends from the wall and holds down the inner wall to "pull" the body out of the wall.
Then countless tentacles fell from the depths of the wall, and the dirt fell one after another, as if large bushes had grown from the roof, and the tentacles swayed in the darkness like snakes.
The half-creatures, half-metal tentacles twisted together and spun, like drill bits, breaking through the thick concrete and sending the body into the tunnel.
The mimic tentacles are no harder than concrete, and the front drills through the walls, causing the mimics themselves to wear out badly. The mimics in the back simply pushed away or even tore apart the carcass in front of them, and then crawled nimbly along the top of the tunnel like a spider.
"Shoot!"
Countless lines of fire stretched upwards, and the battle broke out in the most violent posture in an instant!
Thousands of mimic aliens rush down the holes into the tunnels, like the swarm of octopus robots attacking Zion in The Matrix. When charging forward, it is not a swarm, but a layer of layers, waves, like a tide.
They are not trying to destroy anyone at all, but to drown whom!
The military train attracted most of the "mimic" firepower, and as expected, the "mimic" aliens swimming in the sea were still able to bite the speeding train with their speed. But those who wanted to attack, when they drilled through the walls, found that most of the train was already speeding underneath.
These mimics either jump down desperately, then land on the roof of the car, hit the wall, or are torn apart by the gunfire...... Completely resigned to fate;
Either "hesitate" for a second or two, and then simply fall on the track behind the train, waving his tentacles and running after the train like a dog.
When the tunnel overhead was drilled and cracked, the transparent water that poured down also fell and smashed on the roof of the car.
In the reflection of gunfire, it seems to be pouring down.
This undersea tunnel, which costs tens of billions, could collapse at any time. The rushing waters converged into a river that flooded the railway tracks. It also makes the "mimic" creatures soaked in the water feel like a fish in water, and the speed of pursuit suddenly increases!
Mimic aliens can survive underwater or underground, but humans don't have the ability to do so.
"Hurry up! Quicken! Quicken! "Everyone almost converged into one thought, and the two trains were running one after the other, like the end of the world!
The "mimic" aliens chasing behind sneak and jump, seemingly ready to turn into a flood to engulf the second half of the train.
Wang Hu temporarily took the position of commander, and he constantly issued short and clear instructions through the human system. Computing resources are limited, and there is no such thing as a subtle tactical command, and the most effective command is a few simple and straightforward words.
"C6, C12, machine gunner on the roof, block the roof of the tunnel behind the blockade", "D2 to E10, free fire!" "Beware of tunnel collapses, heavy weapons are never allowed" and so on.
……
(trailer) letter + number number is the temporary team number when retreating, because the team team is made up of several disabled classes are temporarily put together, the number is arranged according to the order of the trailer after getting on the car.
Therefore, in such a situation, it is simply impossible to establish an effective multi-level command system.
Under the premise that he has neither God's perspective nor a good understanding of the situation of the troops, Wang Hu can only make the most of the limited resources in his hands. He pretended to be the "supreme commander of the regiment", directly commanded the squad vertically, and issued some simple and correct instructions.
Each piece of content is simple, but the effect is remarkable!
Because Wang Hu's purpose was not to command the troops at all, but to calm down the troops who had fallen into chaos. In particular, he kept repeating, "Time is on our side."
Sure enough, it worked, and as one squad after another returned to normal command, the resistance continued to intensify. After calming down, such an order as shooting in a certain direction does not need to be given by the regimental commander at all, the squad itself can judge.
8 minutes to go......
At this time, Wang Hu finally had the energy to care about the other side.
As a result, I was surprised first, because there were two less carriages on the opposite side! Is it to keep the speed of the car and give up? Or was the carriage in the back drilled by "mimic" aliens and had to be abandoned?
Wang Hu suddenly didn't want to know......
He pulled his thinking tentacles back and prepared for the most crucial step. Yes, he didn't lie when he said earlier, time is indeed "on our side" - but only if there is time!
As seawater pours into the tunnel, the shallow water that floods the railroad tracks is gradually rising into deep water.
In the water, the speed of the sneaking "mimic" alien increases exponentially.
At the same time, to make matters worse, the speed of the train running in the sea will inevitably drop!
That is to say, in Wang Hu's prediction, Column Zhong will be overtaken by the "mimic" aliens behind him before rushing out of the tunnel, and the result is that the whole car will be killed......
The "mimic" aliens are intelligent, and after discovering this, they burrow through the walls even more frantically, allowing more seawater to pour in.
Although there are only 8 minutes left in the end, these 8 minutes are like a moat forever!
"F1, F2, ditch your cars and move forward. Squads G1 and G2 are responsible for cover. After connecting to F1 and F2, staggered forward to E2, and E2 responds. E3, set a 2-minute timer to blast and retreat...... Others, defend yourself! ”
The order was simple and straightforward, and the F1 squad soldiers in the last trailer jumped off the military truck and waded through the water to move forward.
A "mimic" suddenly came out of the water behind the car, and several tentacles swelled, grabbing two soldiers from behind!
One was dragged directly into the dark deep water, and disappeared without a trace with a grunt. The other was pierced through the chest by a tentacle, and before he could speak, the second tentacle pierced through him, tearing the soldier off in the middle!
“Move! Move! Move! The squad leader roared hoarsely.
No one looked back from the attacked team, and they knew their fate from the moment they jumped out of the car! The gunfire of the group that answered on the opposite side exploded! Behind him, the "mimicry" is crazy to catch up!
"Boom-" The truck they were in before was overturned and overboarded by the "mimicry", the compartment was torn open like paper, and a "mimic" alien spun and rushed in.
If they had remained in the carriage, they would have been cut into a pulp by the jagged tentacles......
All that's left is to bow your head and run wildly! Bullets whizzed overhead, and they could be accidentally killed by the gun, or torn apart by the pursuing aliens!
But no one has a choice!
Moments later, the F2 that picked them up joined the frenzy, and another truck was dragged into the water behind them......
The water had already flooded the thighs, and the flood peak behind him seemed to be able to engulf the roof of the train, and what was particularly terrifying was the towering tentacles in the flood peak.
"You have 65 seconds left! Drop your weapons and go full speed ahead! They heard someone in the headset say this, and the F1 and F2 squads threw down their weapons and backpacks without saying a word, trying to squeeze the last bit of physical strength out of their bodies and charge forward.
"We are G1." Another group joined the retreat.
The speed of the train, combined with the speed of running, finally threw off the "mimicry" of the chase a short distance.
Ahead, the E3 truck is already not far away.
It was an ammunition supply truck with a truckload full of munitions, missiles and explosives!
Everyone guessed what the commander was going to do......
"He's such a madman, this tunnel is worth 15 billion!"
