Chapter 12: The First Battle
We set out as fast as we could, and I was in a group with Captain Fontau, my friend Bird, and a red-haired soldier, and we were still in the vanguard, and now there was a small ruin not far in front of us.
Something useful may be picked up in this ruin, and it is also a place that our avant-garde troops must inspect.
We stopped the patrol car and walked towards it. The red-haired soldier was a self-acquaintance, and he was chatting with Bird on the squad channel at this time, looking very happy.
At this moment, the sound of a whizzing laser gun suddenly reached my ears.
I saw the laser gun's trajectory coming from the ruins, and for a moment I was stunned, froze in place, and looked around at my companion. Feng Qiu, who reacted the fastest, had already pounced on the ground like a goalkeeper, and he was turning on the safety of his laser gun.
The red-haired soldier was staggering backwards, and I saw through his helmet that his eyes were wide open, and there was a look of great confusion on his face, and he only took two steps back before he knelt down.
The two lasers just now hit him in the stomach, completely piercing the combat suit, and there were two fist-sized holes in his stomach, and the poor soldier quickly fell, and the sound of shooting was heard in front of him.
I finally realized what I was supposed to do, and immediately threw myself on the ground, by which time Captain Feng Qiu's laser gun had already fired, and the high-energy laser sliced through the walls of the ruin, suppressing the fire there.
But I still looked at the corpse of the red-haired soldier, and I couldn't believe that a man who had been talking to us a second ago was dead.
"Fire! You two bastards! Waiting to be a target! Feng Qiu's roar came from the communicator.
I turned my head to look at Bird, I could tell he was trembling even through the thick combat uniform, he had always been the least daring of us, and the worst in training, but the muscle memory of long-term training had been developed, and he and I both fell to the ground like Feng Qiu and began to aim for the ruins.
I finally pulled the trigger, and the glare from the laser gun brought me back from my state of distraction, but I didn't know where the enemy was, so I just followed Captain Feng Qiu to shoot.
Captain Feng Qiu was already one step ahead of us, he switched to a grenade launcher, and two high-explosive shells roared towards the ruins, instantly leveling the ruins completely.
This explosion gave me a lot of confidence, I completely calmed down and got back to the level I was in training. Feng Qiu also switched back to laser mode and continued to shoot at the side where the smoke was billowing out.
At this time, I suddenly saw two people running out of the underground over there, and they should have been hiding in the basement just now. At this time, the ruins could no longer hide their figures, and they planned to rush into the woods not far away.
The enemy was a good chance to beat the water dogs when they fled, and I took careful aim at one of them, and the high-powered laser gun hit him directly in the head, instantly melting the part of his head with the helmet.
Captain Feng Qiu got up and charged forward, and in a few steps he ran to the ruins, and he shot at the last man who fled, but he missed, and the man disappeared into the depths of the woods.
We followed Captain Feng Qiu to the ruins, where there was a basement entrance, but it had been blown open by a high-explosive bomb just now, and there were two people inside, one of whom was blown in two, and one person was still breathing.
His long hair was soaked in blood, and he was not wearing a Rocha uniform. Watching a man's painful loss of blood in front of us was somewhat uncomfortable for me and Bird.
Humans already have a blood feud with the Roshas, but watching a humanoid creature die in front of us still touches our inner nature.
But this was obviously just the feeling of our two recruits, and Captain Feng Qiu had already begun to yell angrily at the Rosha man
"Damn the Resistance, you rats, you killed one of my comrades, do you know what the price will be!"
As he spoke, he had already pointed his gun at the Rosha man, who didn't actually understand what Feng Qiu was saying, but the muzzle of the gun said it all. Out of fear for survival, he desperately retreated, as if he wanted to burrow into the earth. Captain Feng Qiu was about to shoot the Rosha man in the head, and I went up to stop him.
"Captain, it is a violation of discipline to kill prisoners indiscriminately, maybe we have to report it." I'm not overflowing with sympathy, I'm just worried about our captain being punished.
Feng Qiu hesitated for two seconds, and the Luosha man reacted to what was going on, and knelt down and kowtowed desperately.
Just as we were discussing what to do with him, another of our patrol cars drove up behind us, it was an outpost of an echelon behind us, and the same group of four people got out of the car, and we noticed one of the captains, and immediately saluted him.
"What the hell are you doing? Why died a person. The captain pointed in the direction of the red-haired soldier's corpse.
Captain Feng Qiu explained to him that we were ambushed.
After the captain understood what had happened, his demeanor softened a little and said, "There are resistance groups everywhere around here, you must be careful." But we only have four of us, so there's no way to replenish your staff. ”
Feng Qiu pointed at the red-haired soldier: "Sir, what about that brother's body, what should I do with it?" ”
The captain went to check on the red-haired soldier, and the cold had eroded through the torn hazmat suit, and in a short time he had been frozen hard.
The captain said, "Poor brother, we don't have time to dig a pit and bury him slowly, so let's light a fire and hope he can rest in peace." With that, the three soldiers he had brought with him put away the red-haired guy's laser gun and set his body on fire with a little high-energy fuel.
"Sir, there's a Rosha."
The captain asked impatiently, "Who is he, a soldier or a resistance?" Can you ask for a little bit of information? ”
That Rocha had lost so much blood that he was running out of strength to kowtow.
Captain Feng Qiu returned: "It's a member of the resistance organization, but the military order says that you can't kill prisoners indiscriminately, so I'll ask you what to do." ”
The captain immediately said angrily: "Feng Qiu, you are also an old soldier, why are you still asking such stupid questions!" How long has it been since you've been on the front line?! He then tilted his head towards the Rosha, and his men walked over, not even bothering to waste the energy of the laser gun, and the three of them smashed it with the butt of the gun, and the Rosha man died.
It was my first real battle, and it was very complicated. As we continued on our way, I still tilted my head from time to time, as if the red-haired soldier was still beside me, but each time I saw nothing but emptiness.
In a single firefight, the lives of three Rosha and one human were gone, and no one would remember them. The convoy was still rushing forward, leaving everything behind.
