Chapter Seventy-Five: Fighting Alone

The strong smell of blood wafted into his nostrils, irritating his nerves and pulling Richard back to reality.

Did the Romans attack the city?

Richard's heart sank, and he hurriedly struggled to the river, and finally climbed ashore, shivering with cold all his body. He thought he was wounded, but when he checked his body up and down, he found no wounds. This is thankful.

He looked up and saw that he was a few hundred meters away from the Great Middle Gate, and in front of him was a gap in the city wall that had been breached by the Roman army, and under the wall were piles of Egyptian soldiers' corpses, which were stacked on top of each other.

Looking up further, a Roman flag is fluttering on the arrow tower of the city gate.

He turned his head to look in the distance, where a Roman mechanized unit was heading towards the city gates.

Could it be that Cairo has fallen? Has it really fallen?

Richard couldn't help but burst into tears, no matter how many lives he paid for, he couldn't buy the peace of the national capital, and how many sonorous oaths had become a reality of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species. Thousands of soldiers sacrificed their lives in vain, but at the critical moment, they could not wait for the commander's order to charge. The only thing he could see was the Roman flag flying high above Cairo, a disgrace, a disillusionment, a nightmare, a disaster.

And what about the brethren of the sniper detachment? What about the people of Cairo? Are they all dead? So what should I do?

Richard thought about it and gritted his teeth, no matter what, I must persevere and fight to the end!

Yes, your war is over, but my war has just begun, yes, it is my war alone. I must turn the iron-blooded oath I have made a thousand times into action, fight the Roman devils, never surrender, fight forever, fight to the last bullet, fight to the last heartbeat.

He knew that if he wanted to fight, he had to survive first, so he opened the backpack of a dead comrade-in-arms and found a grain bag inside, poured out a few handfuls of dry fried rice from the bag, and swallowed it raw without water.

After eating, my body warmed up a little, and it seemed that some kind of aura instantly returned to my body. He crawled along the ground, crawling again, and a Roman devil's corpse blocked his way, and he turned the corpse over, took off the khaki military uniform, and put it on himself. The collar of the military uniform was pinned with the rank of captain, and there were no bullet holes on it, and there were no large blood stains on it, which is what it was like.

But there was a trench in front of him, and he tumbled into it, and it was evident that it had been cleaned by Roman soldiers, and there were no guns to use, no bullets, and not a single soldier's corpse. And now that the Roman army is busy entering the city, it should not take care of the positions outside the city.

Just when he was about to jump out of the trench, he suddenly remembered that his *** was gone, and the gun that was connected to his flesh and blood was lost, where was it lost? He couldn't remember.

A warrior can lose anything, but he can't lose the weapon to kill the enemy. He decided to find the sniper rifle left behind by the sacrificed instructor anyway.

When was the last time a gun was used? …… Yes, the death squad, he suddenly remembered when the commander of the independent regiment told everyone to pick up the big knife and prepare to fight the Roman devils...... He placed his gun under a stack of arrows...... Yes, the battlement, but where is the stack? Where is it...... There are so many arrow stacks on the city gate, which one is it?

He pondered, he must climb the tower, find the arrow stack, and he will definitely find ***. But now it's daytime, and there are still Roman devils patrolling the castle tower, so you can only wait until night to sneak up on it. Yes, that's it.

It was a long day, and the sound of gunfire and explosions rang out in the city from time to time, like thunder, as if it had exploded in Richard's heart, along with all the internal organs. I must go to the city to see the brothers who died in the sniper detachment, and I must find the weapons to kill the enemy, yes, definitely.

He seemed to be asleep, dazed and asleep, and finally stayed up until dark, there were more than a dozen Roman devils guarding the city gate, and naturally he could not enter from the city gate, but the city walls on both sides of the city gate were bombarded by Roman artillery fire, and it was not difficult to climb up, not to mention that there were no sentinels on the city tower.

Richard found a gap in the wall, and below it was a large pile of dead bodies, and he carefully climbed over the pile of corpses and climbed the tower with his bare hands. The towers were littered with weapons, stones, sandbags, and ammunition boxes, as well as large piles of corpses of soldiers who could not be separated from each other.

He searched through the stacks of arrows, and finally found the handle of a rifle under one of them. He couldn't hold back his ecstasy, quickly pulled away the corpse, and pulled it suddenly, and the *** jumped back into his arms like a psychic.

"My good girl, you're here, you miss me." His trembling hands caressed the steel-blue body of the gun, and his beloved eyes rubbed the body of the gun.

The body of the gun is intact, the scope is also intact, and the most surprising thing for him is that the field rucksack that matches the *** is also there, open it to see, there are a lot of spare parts inside: the upper layer is filled with small packets of explosives/medicine, maps, towels, gun wiping strips, wire cutters, water purification pills, hemostatic agents, and powerful flashlights. Inside the compartment is: a magazine of 80 rounds, of which there are 15 rounds *** and 15 rounds ***, and the bottom of the shell is painted red with red paint. There are also 20 developed bullets, the body of which is as thick as a finger, and the warhead is flat. In addition, there are 10 tracer rounds, which are used to measure the direction of the wind and test the range of the rifle. There are also 10 observation rounds, which emit small sparks when they hit a target, which can help the shooter identify whether or not they have hit the target.

In addition, there is a pair of German folding periscopes inside, which can effectively protect the lives of observers. There is also a saber with a small driver, a power adjustment scope, a water bag with a straw, a pen and a matchbox.

A violent explosion was heard out of nowhere, interrupting Richard's memories. Richard was agitated and hurriedly looked into the distance. A high-rise building in the city has collapsed and is blazing.

It's time to go into town.

Richard climbed down through a gap in the wall. He looked around cautiously, and was sure that there was not a single Roman soldier, so he straightened up and walked. He was very familiar with the terrain in this area, because he was in Cairo when he was a soldier, and he was no stranger to the area around Dazhongmen. There was a large firelight in front of the sky, which must have been the place where the Roman soldiers were concentrated.

Richard walked through the dark alleyways, and no human voices could be heard around him, only rubble and corpses scattered all over the place.

In front was a European-style courtyard, with the gate open, and beside the courtyard was a large road, on which suddenly there was a flash of lightning, and then the sound of heavy leather boots stomping on the ground, which was the footsteps of Roman devils.

Richard quietly flashed into the courtyard, climbed up to the fence and looked down, and four or five Roman soldiers were swaggering towards them with flashlights, apparently patrolmen.

The patrolmen were talking and laughing as they went, speaking Italian, which Richard did not understand, of course, but he saw a Roman soldier who was more than ten meters behind the group in front of him, and this guy carried a rifle on his back and lowered his head to tie his belt as he went.

Kill this Roman devil.

Richard was full of pride, and when the last Roman devil had just passed the gate, he had already jumped lightly from the wall, and rushed behind the Roman devil in a few steps, covering the mouth of the Roman devil with his left hand, and wrapping his right arm around the devil's neck like an iron hoop, and retreating into the courtyard. This devil was suddenly controlled by someone, desperately struggling, but where could he struggle, and he couldn't breathe at all, Richard dragged the Roman devil soldier into the courtyard, freed his left hand, twisted it hard, and the devil's neck "clicked" and couldn't move anymore.

The horse checked the Roman devil's body, and there was a kit with first-aid medicine and daily necessities, which might be used later, so he carried it on his back, and threw away everything else that was useless.

Richard picked up the Roman devil's flashlight, climbed over a wall, and looked down on the courtyard, where several people's corpses were lying in the corner, covered in blood, apparently shot by the Roman devils.

At this moment, the images of five or six Egyptian soldiers came into view of the horses, but they all raised their hands and no weapons in their hands, and two Roman devils escorted them from the depths of the courtyard to the gate.

Richard tried to free them and jumped to the ground, but as soon as his feet hit the ground, he heard two gunshots, followed by two Egyptian soldiers lying in a pool of blood. Seeing this, the remaining three soldiers who were not dead fled to the door, and the sound of the Roman devils rang out again, and all three soldiers were hit and fell to the ground.

Richard was so angry that he rushed up from behind and smashed the head of a Roman devil behind him with the butt of his sniper rifle. Richard rushed forward with an arrow step, only five or six steps away from the devil in front of him at this moment, the devil had a hideous face, but there was no trace of fear, he thought that Richard would use the gun in his hand, but Richard did not move the gun, just stared at him coldly.

The Roman soldier slowly turned around, his eyes as fierce as a wolf: "Who are you?" ”

"Lao Tzu is an Egyptian soldier!" Richard shouted word by word, anger in his eyes.

"Egypt is gone, you have to surrender quickly, the Roman soldiers promise not to kill the prisoners!" The Roman soldier said in a stiff Egyptian dialect.

"Kill me? You fart!! "Richard struck the muzzle of the gun, put it on his waist, pulled the trigger, and bang! The bullet passed past the Roman soldier, who instinctively jumped to realize that the bullet had not hit him. The Roman soldier reacted, and he had a bayonet on his gun, and he screamed a strange way, and a sudden bayonet rushed to kill him.

"Wait a minute!" A roar frightened the Roman soldier's neck back and froze in place.

Richard unhurriedly hooked up the dead soldier's rifle at his feet, tilted the rifle, pulled the bolt contemptuously, and withdrew the bullet, which landed on the stone slab beneath his feet.
