The tired communications staff officer walked lightly to Minister Xiao and said in a low voice: "Report!" ā
The voice interrupted Minister Xiao's thoughts, and Minister Xiao, whose eyes were red, raised his head: "What's the matter?" ā
"I just received an urgent notice from the military region!" The communications staff officer handed a document to Minister Xiao with both hands.
Minister Xiao took the document, and after only reading two lines, his expression changed greatly, and he stood up: "Where is the position of the troops now?" ā
The combat staff officer quickly stood up: "A street is nearby!" ā
"Sensei tell me what street, show me on the map!"
"Yes!" The operational staff officer hurriedly adjusted the electronic map to the big screen and drew a very inaccurate curve on the map with his finger: "Probably this line." ā
"Only a third?" Minister Xiao's brows tightened, "Inform the troops, at all costs, accelerate the speed!" ā
"Yes!" The operational staff officer immediately agreed, but immediately showed a look of embarrassment, and leaned over to Minister Xiao's side and whispered, "Minister, there is no problem in increasing the speed of advancement, but the transportation force in our hands is limited, so in that case, the rescued people will not be able to be delivered." ā
"Let them figure out their own way, drive with a car, carpool without a car, and find a way to get to the train station by themselves." Minister Xiao suddenly paused when he said this, "Inform the troops, don't use any layers to advance, give me a direct push over, and inform the residents that they must withdraw from the occupied area before dawn." ā
"What about the gangs?" The operational staff officer asked in a whisper.
"There's no time to care about them, let them fend for themselves."
"Yes!" The operational staff understood Minister Xiao's intention and immediately conveyed the order.
Minister Xiao stared at the map with both eyes, and a pair of sword eyebrows stood up like knives.
The troops who received the order immediately took action, changed their previous steps into battalions, quickly penetrated into the depths of the occupied areas, and shouted around with electric loudspeakers and other propaganda tools to spread Minister Xiao's orders throughout the occupied areas.
The military spoke clearly, and the residents heard it clearly, but the bandits left too many shadows on the residents, and on the premise of not knowing the situation of the bandits, many residents were afraid that they would be attacked by the bandits if they left their homes, so they preferred to hide in their homes rather than follow the instructions of the military.
Thanks to the popularity of automobiles in recent years, there are many residents who own private cars, and although many vehicles have been taken away by bandits, there are still enough private cars left, enough to send one-third of the residents of the occupied areas away.
However, the situation is not so rosy, and the vast majority of car owners are reluctant to accept strangers for rides, but instead take their families and valuables and drive out of the city.
The military was already deeply motivated, and welcomed the people who evacuated by car, not only letting them leave with a green light all the way, but also taking the initiative to arrange refueling points to help these vehicles replenish fuel, and not forgetting to teach the key points and precautions for driving in the field.
No one knows the situation in the wild better than the military, after the northern area of the ant is out of control, the giant ant locust has spread to the whole province, whether in the city or the countryside, any place may encounter a lone giant insect, if you do not explain the situation to the people who drive out of the city, the road will not be in danger.
The military knew very well that there must be a large number of gang members hidden among the people who left by car, but by this time, Minister Xiao could no longer care about so much, and the most important thing was to evacuate the people in the occupied areas as much as possible.
People have a herd mentality, and many residents who originally planned to stick to their homes also moved to leave and joined the evacuation army after seeing the rushing traffic and crowds on the streets.
In this way, the occupied area in the middle of the night was full of vehicles and pedestrians, there were fighters acting as traffic police officers directing traffic at every intersection, flashing lights and boiling voices everywhere, and dense traffic even blocked the roads.
Fortunately, the fist ants are not nocturnal creatures, otherwise the noisy noise will alarm the ant colony, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
A large number of residents poured into the train station, almost crushing the dispatchers in the station, and in order to get people away as quickly as possible, each departing firepower hung as many cars as possible, and each departing car was packed with people like sardine cans, and finally even used freight cars and stuffy tank cars that had not been used for I don't know how many years.
Time passed minute by minute, but the speed of evacuation always met Minister Xiao's expectations, but he had already done everything he could, and he couldn't think of a better way to speed up the efficiency, so he could only wait anxiously.
At about five o'clock in the morning, a dark sky finally appeared a ray of fish belly white, and before the sun jumped out of the horizon, a faint mist suddenly appeared.
As the sky gradually brightened, this layer of mist gradually became thicker, and soon it turned into a heavy fog, enveloping the noisy Linyi all night, and the visibility was only fifty or sixty meters, and the speed of evacuation was greatly reduced.
To make matters worse, as the sky grew brighter and the boxer ants had been dormant all night, the military had to light the barricades stacked at various intersections to separate the space to block the ant colony.
Blocked by the flames were some of the inhabitants, who did not get past the barricades in time and were quickly overwhelmed by the influx of ants, leaving only piles of bones in the blink of an eye.
The burning fire dispelled the nearby fog, but the trapped residents could not get past the burning barricades, so they could only wait anxiously behind the barricades, as if waiting for the verdict of fate.
The officers and soldiers who had been busy all night were hungry, but they had to plunge into the battle against the giant ants again, and the fire dragons that jumped high one after another, harvesting the lives of the fist ants.
At this juncture, the command headquarters once again received an urgent notice forwarded by the military region, reminding Minister Xiao that the ant colony from the north was approaching Linyi, and in another one to two hours, the ant colony would enter Linyi. In view of the danger of the ants, the military region ordered the troops to immediately withdraw from the occupied areas and withdraw the entire army before the ant tide entered the urban area.
Minister Xiao immediately issued an order to retreat, and although the troops that went deep into the occupied area immediately organized a retreat, there were more or less residents in the vicinity of each army, and the evacuated troops had to bring a large number of people with them, and it would have taken only ten minutes to withdraw all of them from the occupied area, but it took more than half an hour before they could be evacuated.
After a busy night, the military had recaptured less than half of the occupied area, and at least a quarter of the residents were still stranded in the occupied area when Minister Xiao gave the order to retreat.
The military did not have the time or the ability to wait any longer, so they could only withdraw from the occupied areas with regret.
Ye Han received the order very early, but there was no vehicle in his hand, and more than a dozen people were dumbfounded.
One of the fighters suggested, "Let's go to the headquarters!" ā
"Yes!" Everyone responded, and more than a dozen people left the temporary prison and quickly rushed to the headquarters not far away.
