Chapter 47: Emergency Mobilization
The sudden explosion rang out continuously, and every rock in the valley trembled, and in an instant the entire valley was shrouded in thick smoke and flying sand.
With the huge explosion, the surrounding mountain walls began to crumble and slide, and huge rocks mixed with countless silt and sand rushed down the slopes to the valley floor.
At this time, most of the mechs of the government army were on the road in the valley, and nearly half of the personnel carriers were also in the valley. This massive landslide caused by the explosion was like a raging torrent, instantly burying many mechs and personnel carriers in the sand.
Although the mecha is powerful on the battlefield, it is powerless in the face of natural disasters such as landslides, and the huge steel body is staggered by the boulder and disappears into the mud and sand in the blink of an eye.
The terrifying collapse of the mountain turned the valley into hell, and in just a few minutes, the government army lost most of its mechs and more than half of its motorized infantry, and the remaining motorized infantry was blocked on the other side of the valley, cutting off contact with Moren and others.
At this time, Commander Moren was standing beside the command vehicle in a daze, motionless looking at the huge sand and dust raised in the valley ahead. Yellow sand and dust flew all over the sky, like a huge cloud slowly rising, enveloping the radius of several miles in yellow sand and dust.
Countless grains of sand and gravel fell from the sky, crackling against the steel shell of the command vehicle, and Morun's hat and clothes were soon covered with a thick layer of yellow dust.
The huge shock made Mo Lun unable to say a word for a long time, and the other soldiers also reacted in the same way, all staring blankly at the scene in front of them, who didn't know what to say at this time.
Also shocked by this scene was not only Mo Lun and the others, but also Ding Kai and others who were far away in Yaqiu City, who had been following the battle in real time through the images transmitted back by the battlefield satellites.
However, a series of sudden explosions in the valley just now made the conference room suddenly silent, and even the sound of breathing could not be heard.
Ding Kai stiffened on the chair, grabbed the edge of the table with both hands, and did not move for a long time. Everyone else reacted in the same way, and after a few minutes, someone finally came to their senses and turned to look at Ding Kai.
Sensing the eyes of others, Ding Kai was a little more sober, and immediately leaned back like a deflated ball, and shrank into the back chair.
"How could it be...... How could it be...... This ......" Ding Kai muttered to himself for a long time, and the others didn't understand a word.
At this time, the big screen is still playing the images transmitted back from the front in real time, and the drones and battlefield satellites are still shooting.
I saw that the valley was completely obscured by yellow sand, and it was impossible to know the true situation, but one thing was certain, less than a third of the army remained in the valley, and most of the mechs and vehicles were trapped in the valley.
Fortunately, there were still a few people who were more sober, and hurriedly said, "Quickly ask about the situation ahead!" Fast! ”
Ding Kai's staff and secretaries immediately took action after being reminded, and hurriedly contacted Mo Lun through various means.
"Hey! Contact Colonel Moron today! Fast! ”
"Is it Major Cui Shaoguang? What's going on ahead? ”
"My staff of Governor Ding Kai, immediately transfer the army in front for me, whoever it is, immediately!"
The conference room immediately resounded with the voices of everyone, and at this time, the officials who accompanied Ding Kai to watch the battle also began to talk one after another.
Only Ding Kai rubbed his temples with his hand without saying a word, only to see that his face had turned iron-blue, as if he was seriously ill, making people unable to imagine what he was thinking in his heart at this time.
At the same time, Liu Yi and the others also saw this terrifying scene through the intercepted satellite signal, only to see that the entire valley had become a pot of porridge, and the collapsed mountain covered most of the valley, and only a small number of mecha and vehicles escaped by chance, but because the road had been destroyed, these only remaining mecha and vehicles could not move.
Ke Rin was undoubtedly the most shocked of all, staring at the screen with wide eyes and incredulous eyes, and kept saying, "How is this going on?" How is this possible...... I'll go! ”
"I didn't expect the robbers to use this method...... This mountain is too fragile...... "Shangguanqi said.
Someone next to him said, "That valley used to be a mining field, and the mountains were full of caves and pits, but the inside has actually been hollowed out. ”
Liu Yi nodded and said, "So that's the case, no wonder it can cause such a large-scale landslide." ”
"What a fool! Why don't you send someone to investigate first! I'm so pissed off by these rice buckets! Kirin suddenly roared.
"Probably the government army also thought that there were so many drones and satellites, there should be no ambush, but I didn't expect the robbers to think of this method." Liu Yi said: "Actually, this can't be completely blamed on the people in the army, but we may also be recruited." ”
"It's too late to say this, I didn't expect the coalition of troops and enterprises to be finished so quickly, and it will be a big trouble if the bandits attack Yachu in the future." Shangguanqi calmly analyzed.
Liu Yi and Ke Rin's faces became cold when they heard this, Shangguan Qi was right, now the defense of Yaqiu City is quite empty, if the bandit group comes to attack on a large scale, the entire Yaqiu City will be very dangerous.
"What should we do?" At this time, Ke Rin had already let go of the stubbornness he had when he was angry with Liu Yi before, and took the initiative to ask for advice.
Liu Yi is not a person with small weapons, and he actually didn't care too much about Ke Rin's various gambling behaviors before. Liu Yi knows Ke Rin's temper very well, and sometimes he is stubborn like a child, but as long as the matter passes, Ke Rin will not care anymore.
After thinking for a while, Liu Yi said: "It is imperative that we mobilize all the people of the militia organization and prepare to fight in the streets of the city with the robbers according to the plan made in advance. ”
"Then do you want to inform everyone to move out of the city?" Someone asked.
Liu Yi shook his head and said: "It's too late now, and if you transfer civilians at this time, I'm afraid it will be even more dangerous if you happen to encounter the bandits' troops." ”
"But I can't help but inform them, after all, they are all the families of the militiamen......"
"Now we can only try to move them to a relatively safe place in the city, for example...... In those big businesses, they should have a large enough place to accommodate civilians. I think that even if the robbers enter the city, they will not regard these big companies as their first targets, and it should be relatively safe to move people to the factories. Liu Yi said.
"This is possible, let's get started right away!" Ke Rin slapped his thigh and shouted.
Liu Yi said: "Don't panic first, communicate this matter with the company first, I believe that they should not refuse our request at this time." In addition, we will take the time to reconfirm the plan we have made before, and we must make sure that it is foolproof. ”
Although Ding Kai strictly ordered the news of the defeat of the government army not to be spread, the city of Yaqiu quickly learned the news, and the people who had hoped that the government army would win a complete victory were as if they had been hit in the head, and they were all dumbfounded.
"This government army is too weak, so many people have been defeated?"
"I heard that the government army was defeated badly, and it was beaten to the ground by the bandit group, and it was a shame to be thrown home......"
"Are robbers so powerful? What if they call? ”
In less than a few hours, the news of the defeat was already known, and no one expected that the government forces would be defeated so quickly, and the population began to panic.
A large number of people flocked to the service stations of various public transportation, and for a time all kinds of public vehicles were rented, and many people rushed to the shuttle landing site outside the city, demanding that they be sent to the spaceport immediately.
The streets and alleys are full of panicked people, some busy buying groceries, others busy looking for vehicles, and many more hiding in their homes and shivering, praying that bad luck will not befall them.
Liu Yi and others rushed to the city from the base in the suburbs by car, only to see large and small vehicles crowding the road along the way, and as a last resort, Liu Yi and others had to drive out of the road and rush to the city from the wilderness without roads.
The closer you get to the city, the more you can see a large number of panicked people fleeing outside the city, Liu Yi sighed helplessly: "I didn't want to go at the beginning, but now it's even more dangerous to go, who knows where the bandits' troops will come from......"
At this moment, Liu Yi received a message and opened a video message from someone from the base.
"The bandit group has gone to the valley, I am afraid that the government army will ......"
After reading the newsletter, Liu Yi's heart sank, his prediction was right, the robbers really wanted to seize this opportunity to attack Yaqiu immediately, as long as Yaqiu City was taken, this planet would be in the bandits' pocket.
"I hope Ding Kai won't make any more mistakes this time, don't fight with the robbers outside the city, otherwise it will ......" Liu Yi prayed silently in his heart.
It was only when I finally entered the city that it was already a mess, and the streets were full of panicked people, shouting and rushing into various stores to grab their goods. Naturally, there were a large number of outlaws who took the opportunity to rob and steal, and some even set fire to the streets.
Liu Yi and the others had expected in advance that this would happen, Yaqiu was not a peaceful place in the first place, with this kind of opportunity, these outlaws would definitely come out to make trouble, not to mention that now the army can't take care of maintaining order at all, and today's Yaqiu City has become a paradise for these villains.
Although Liu Yi was very angry in his heart, he still didn't care about dealing with these villains, and the robbers were the big problem right now.
Finally, the group arrived at the former headquarters of the Iron Riders, a repair shop converted from a school. A few people walked in to take a look, only to see that the spacious open space was already full of dense crowds.
