Chapter 74: Rendezvous
Although Alexei's rescue team avoided the Covenant's anti-aircraft missiles, they were still fired upon by anti-aircraft artillery as they passed through the enemy's lines.
Therefore, when they broke through the defense zone, they were shot down 3 low-altitude spacecraft, and several other spacecraft were seriously injured and forced to land or return.
Fortunately, Alexei's spaceship, under the cover of his companions, managed to break through the interception of the Star Alliance.
During the penetration, they were almost depleted of ammunition due to enemy ground fire.
After breaking through the defense zone, as far as the eye could see, Alexei reconnoitred the enemy situation here and found that their ground defense line was weaker and scattered than expected.
It is understandable that when the enemy is about to launch a large-scale offensive, most of them will concentrate their forces and will not distribute them on the front line as usual.
Because they had been flying at low altitudes and even close to the ground, they were in the blind spot of the enemy's radar, and the enemy dispatched several fighter planes to try to intercept them, but in the end they returned in vain.
As a result, the only threat they faced when they returned home was the air defense positions on the front line.
It didn't take long for the spacecraft to reach the rescue area.
However, at this moment, they could only watch a field of fire and purple.
Alex reloads his bullets and puts on his power armor, and jumps off the ship and motions for everyone to unlock the safety on their guns, as he realizes that the situation here is tricky.
When the meteorite rain fell before, he also clearly saw the purple light and mushroom cloud in the sky, he couldn't tell whether Xu Weiyang was killed or not, and the soldiers were at a loss.
Alexei could only pray that Xu Weiyang was still alive, otherwise they would be busy in vain.
The soldiers quickly dispersed to search, not interested in the wreckage of several planes, but only wanted to seize the time to find the survivors.
"Colonel, there's a situation here."
Alexei ran to the soldier and found a deep pit not far ahead.
"If anyone can survive on this land, it may be the only place to live." Alexey motioned for everyone to come over together.
Everyone ran over with anticipation.
Unfortunately, by the time they arrived, the thrilling scene had already ended.
All they saw was two girls sleeping together in a tent.
The pilot, Ludel, who was not far away, was still chained to the ruins of the pickup truck, looking at Alexei without tears.
This picture surprised everyone, and it was even more inexplicable.
Looking at the craters around them that resembled the surface of Mars, they could have guessed exactly how earth-shattering this place had been.
But after the explosion subsided, the two girls found that the pickup truck had been completely destroyed, and the pit was a violent radiation, and it was a dead end wherever they went......
In addition, I was so tired that I was so tired that I fell asleep not long after......
Asleep......
God is asleep!
You must know that this widow Xu is a big star in the rebel army, and I thought how happy everyone would be when they saw the real person.
When they realized that they had met in this way, a big embarrassment appeared on everyone's faces.
It will collapse, Alexei thought, if Commander Xu knew about this, he would definitely collapse.
As a result, Alexei watched for a long time, and the two sleeping girls didn't seem to notice his arrival.
Alexei had no choice but to jump from the edge of the pit, and then pushed Xu Weiyang at the mouth of the tent.
The force was very light, just touching her shoulder, but Xu Weiyang suddenly frightened Alexei with an astonishing reaction.
I saw her jump unceremoniously, reach out and grab Alexei's gun, and point the muzzle of the gun at him with a backhand.
Since everyone knew the identities of these two people, no one pointed their guns at her.
On the contrary, Alexei calmly explained, and Xu Weiyang realized that this was a friendly army, so he returned the gun to Alexei.
It wasn't until this moment that she finally let down her guard.
"Miss Xu Weiyang, we have been ordered to come to meet you and welcome you to join the Novosibirsk Resistance." Alexey saluted solemnly.
"Thank you for the rescue." Xu Weiyang returned the salute calmly.
Xin Mei in the tent raised his head blankly, looked at everyone for a while, and then said coldly, "You are here...... Yes, is there anything to eat? ”
Everyone: "......"
Everyone was stunned for a while before someone ran to the spaceship to get dry food and drinking water.
Xu Weiyang glanced at Xin Mei, and then pointed to Ludel Dao in the distance, "This captive has been handed over to you." ”
At this moment, Alexei was incomprehensibly surprised by Xu Weiyang's composure.
Looking at Ludel's face as he was upset all the way, he felt that this woman had a very magical talent, and it would be a pretty bad thing for anyone to touch it.
After getting on the spaceship, Xu Weiyang was quickly regarded as a star by everyone, some of the soldiers brought blankets, some brought hot water, and then gathered around Xu Weiyang with great interest to listen to her tell what she had seen and heard along the way, and wanted to know how she did it one by one.
And Xin Mei, who only cares about crunching and eating, has been regarded as a pet by everyone for a long time, and it is enough to feed some snacks from time to time.
In this way, in the midst of laughter, everyone's long-tense spirit was finally relieved.
Xu Weiyang was also shocked by their rescue operation.
She felt that this army was treating her comrades like brothers, and if one person was in danger, then the others would not give up easily, but would save them at all costs.
In the face of a huge price, Xu Weiyang was also glad that he had brought a satisfactory answer: the Star Alliance pilots had a lot of valuable information, especially the parameters and characteristics of the Mosquito fighter, which was of great benefit to the rebels.
"A lot of things have been more than we expected," Alexei added, "and I've also gained a lot of new information along the way, I didn't expect the enemy to prepare so quickly, I believe that they have been attacking for a few days, and I'm afraid you'll soon have to go into battle again." ”
"It's okay," Xu Weiyang said calmly, "I will try to adapt to my new life and try my best to repel the enemy." ”
"Oh pro-Harasau. (Fantastic)" Alexei said, but it didn't sound like much excitement.
Although Xu Weiyang is already a very outstanding sniper in his eyes, under the overwhelming offensive of the enemy, it is difficult for Alexei to believe that a sniper can have much effect on the overall situation.
He subconsciously felt that as if he had fought countless times, he was just one more comrade-in-arms who could die at any time.
It didn't take long for everyone to calm down, after all, the ship had not yet left the enemy's defense zone.
