Chapter 17: Heading for Kara
The leg in the hospital left me with a memory that will last a lifetime, and I finally felt better after throwing up, and then I decided to go back to the tent and get some sleep.
As I walked to the tent, I wanted to see how my good brother Roy was standing guard, and to make some fun of him, but I didn't see him at the camp gate, there should have been four soldiers on duty, but now there was only one.
I went over and asked the sentry, "Brother, why are you the only one standing guard and they are the only ones?" Did you see Roy? ”
The sentry made a shushing gesture to me, then tilted his head and pointed to a tent next to him and said, "The four of us are standing guard in turns, you should be quiet, don't attract the chief." ”
I decided to go to the tent to see what Roy was up to, and as soon as I pushed open the tent door, I smelled a scent. Roy, this kid is making a small stove and grilling meat! The other two were drooling and staring at the piece of meat.
"Ecid! Hahaha, come on, see what good stuff I found. Kuixing's version of beef. Roy saw that it was me and warmly invited me to join.
Of course, I couldn't ask for it, and it was much better to sit in a tent and eat a barbecue than to watch a thigh cut in the hospital. I took out a piece of paste and asked the other two if they had cups, and we could bake them with water so that they would be warm.
In this way, we drank nutritious paste, ate Kuixing barbecue, and chatted happily in this warm little tent, which was the first time I had been so relaxed since I joined the war.
Then I simply slept in their tent, which was warm and spacious, but every hour the guy who was standing guard outside would come in and wake up the other guy to change the guard, and the guy who was woken up would always shout at his mother and wake everyone up.
I fell asleep intermittently, and the assembly whistle sounded without warning. When I looked at the time, it was only 3:50 in the morning, and these officers were really too perverted.
We struggled out of the tent, tired like a bunch of zombies, but today for the first time, we gave each of us a small can of high-energy drink, which is a stimulant, and we drank it and it quickly took effect.
This little jar of magic has re-established us as a morale-boosting army, and it is still a long time before dawn, and we have been using the local time since we arrived at Kuixing, and there are about 37 hours in a day in Kuixing, and we leave at 4 o'clock, and it will not dawn until 12 o'clock.
We took advantage of the darkness to make our way to Kara, and met a disabled mecha tank squad, who told us that we were the fastest rescue force, and that it was only 200 kilometers away from Chen Kaishier's division headquarters.
Being so close to the front line excited us all, and it only took a few hours for us to join up with the divisional headquarters of Army Group III. In fact, the western skies have long been reddened by the flames of war.
Carl, the veteran oilman, became good friends with us, but there was no excitement on his face at this time. He even complained: "I don't know what you have to be happy about, you can see the sky from 200 kilometers away, you can see how fierce the artillery fire is over there, there is hell, at least half of us will die, and we may even be wiped out." ”
Odjet interrupted him: "Shut up, if no one goes to save the Third Army Group, the people over there will all die, and we will never be able to defeat the Roshas." ”
Carl's words aroused everyone's disgust, and everyone thought that he was afraid.
As we continued to advance westward, the troops in this large area were in disarray, and we were somehow the first to arrive.
The red glow in the western sky was getting brighter and brighter. I kept my eyes on that side, imagining what kind of battle Chen Kaishier's troops were going through over there.
Maybe it was an illusion, but I seemed to see two shiny dots in the sky.
I blinked, looked at the horizon carefully, and then in the next split second, a loud explosion rang out in our ranks.
Then an unbelievable force pushed me hard against the windshield, and the car I was sitting in was blown over, and the world turned upside down before my eyes, but fortunately I subconsciously grabbed the handrail of the patrol car.
In the chaos I saw nothing but flames, a loud roar swirling in my head, and a murmur from the communicator.
Soon I came to my senses, kicked open the car door, and climbed to the ground, I saw that all around me were charred black debris and corpses, the patrol cars behind were overturned to the ground, several trucks were blown into twisted scrap metal, a large amount of supplies were scattered on the ground and burning, and the whole army was in chaos in the thick smoke.
Feng Qiu shouted: "Air attack! Air raid! Spread out, everyone! ”
All the soldiers ran desperately into the wilderness at both ends of the road, and the two powerful bombs were just a prelude, and more attacks were coming.
An officer shouted: "What are the Aerospace Forces doing!" How could it be possible to let the plane of the Rosa people take off! Signal Soldiers! Send a signal! ”
"Yicid, go get that truck away, there's supplies on those sides!" Feng Qiu's voice came, and I saw a truck not far from me, and the driver on it didn't know where to go.
It was a fatal task, and I was going against the crowd of people running out, and just as I was running to the side of the truck, that damn whistling sound came again.
I slammed to the ground as fast as I could, and only about a second later, two air-to-surface missiles exploded again in our ranks, one farther away and the other quite close.
The ground trembled violently, but thankfully the truck in front of me had shielded me from the deadly heat, and an armored vehicle was blown over as it fled into the wilderness, the car of the colonel I had seen earlier.
I got up and climbed into the truck, started the truck and rushed to the east side of the road, the missile just hit two trucks full of supplies, all kinds of charred wreckage was scattered on the road, and I prayed in my heart that my car would not be the next target.
At this time, our aerospace forces finally located the low-altitude fighter plane of the Rosha people, and a lightning bolt crossed the sky, and a circle of blue arcs exploded, and then several red and yellow bright spots appeared, which were the flames of the Rosha planes being exploded by the particle cannon.
The short airstrikes took a huge toll on us, and I took the truck back and forth. Run with the others to the smoke-filled spot and see what they can do to help.
There were a lot of charred corpses along the way, and our comrades were busy carrying them to the side of the road. The biggest smoke rose from a hit mech tank, and the ammunition on it exploded, killing everyone on it.
However, the craziest thing is that the command comes from the communicator, and the team quickly assembles and prepares to move on.
At all costs, regardless of losses, we must rescue the Third Army Group, this is our only mission.
I returned to our company's position, Captain Feng Qiu was counting the number of people in our squad, and it seemed that none of them were missing.
At this time, the company commander suddenly pointed at me and shouted, "You, get out of the ranks." ”
I stood up blankly.
"You," the company commander pointed at me, "where is your gun?" ”
