Chapter 44: Striking the West

"When is this robber coming? It makes me feel so bad! ”

I don't know who said it, as if it opened everyone's chatterbox, and the busy workers all put down their work at hand and began to chat.

"That is, if the robbers don't come for a day, I won't be able to sleep for a day, and I'm always afraid that a missile will fall on my head in the middle of the night."

"Are you stupid and expecting the robbers to come?"

"Of course I don't want them to invade the city, but now that I know they're coming, I'm always nowhere to be seen, and I'm even more worried."

The workers all told their worries about their worries, and the factory gradually became noisy.

Liu Yi was debugging the operating system of the mecha in the workshop on the second floor of the factory, and he heard the words of the workers below clearly.

In fact, what the workers said was exactly what Liu Yi was thinking, and now he felt like he had a big stone in his heart every day, and if the robbers didn't come for a day, the stone would not be able to be put down.

Recently, Liu Yi and the others have been busy every day, but there are so many things that need to be done, and they finally finish one thing, but they find that there are more things waiting for them.

Sometimes Liu Yi also thinks that it is better to let the robbers come early, and everyone has a big fight, which is better than hanging like this all the time.

Liu Yi and the others have arranged observation points on the roads around Yaqiu City, and once the robbers arrive, they can get the news as soon as possible.

However, in recent times, the surroundings of Yaqiu City have been very calm, and there are even a lot fewer security incidents, and there is no sense of war at all.

But the calmer it is, the more abnormal it seems, and Liu Yi has a hunch that war should not be far away, and it is impossible for the robbers to wait forever.

"Boom!" With an explosion, a house was blown into the sky, and countless debris flew all over the sky, like a rain of garbage.

"Oh no! The robbers are attacking! ”

Exclamations and cries suddenly resounded through the streets, and the city began to fall into chaos, and the dark clouds that had been hanging over the head finally rained down.

One mecha after another appeared on the horizon, like an army of legendary giants, coming majestically towards the city.

In order to highlight their might, the robbers deliberately painted all the mechs black, like the Grim Reaper who came out of hell.

"Kill! Kill them all! ”

"We are the Freedom Alliance Army Yaqiu United, everyone surrenders immediately, otherwise we will bloody this city!"

The robbers installed loudspeakers on their mechs and made their way towards the city with a constant shout. In order to show their strength, the robbers destroyed the rest stations along the highway one by one, causing thick smoke to billowing into the sky, so that the people of the city could see it from more than ten miles away.

The news of the bandits' attack soon reached the government, and the video of Governor Ding Kai's call was quickly connected, and Ding Kai was immediately dumbfounded when he heard the report.

"What? They're attacking Iron Valley City! You repeat, are you indeed Iron Valley City? Ding Kai asked incredulously.

The person in charge of reporting in the video is Ding Kai's intelligence officer, and he has just received a notice that the robbers did not attack Yaqiu City, but ran to attack Iron Valley City, which is two hundred miles away, and now Iron Valley City is being fiercely attacked by bandits.

The intelligence officer was taken aback by this and hurriedly reported the news to Ding Kai, who heard the news and shouted again and again: "How is this possible? How is this possible...... How could they attack Iron Valley City? ”

Seeing that Ding Kai was a little distracted, the intelligence officer had to remind: "Your Excellency, do you want to convene a staff meeting immediately?" ”

"Yes, yes, hold a meeting, you ...... You tell everyone to come to the meeting right away! Ding Kai ordered in a panic.

"Yes, I'll call a meeting right away."

Ten minutes later, Ding Kai's conference room was filled with officials at all levels of the government and the army, and everyone had a more or less panicked look on their faces.

It can be seen that they, like Ding Kai, did not expect that the real target of the robbers was not Yaqiu but Tiegu.

Unlike Yaqiu, Iron Valley is close to the mining area, where the production bases of major mining companies are located, and the population is about a quarter of that of Yaqiu.

Since Iron Valley City is made up of factories, it doesn't have much wealth in the first place, and the robbers never patronize it, so no one thought that the bandits would attack Iron Valley City from the beginning.

This unexpected move immediately made Ding Kai and his staff panic, since the leaflet incident, the government army has set all the defense points around Yaqiu City, and there are almost no measures for Iron Valley City.

"Now that everyone knows the situation, what should we do, and if you have any opinions, please feel free to express them, and you don't have to pay attention to the rules." Ding Kai spoke first, and as he spoke, his gaze swept over everyone's faces in turn.

However, the performance of his subordinates made Ding Kai really disappointed, and everyone dodged as soon as they met Ding Kai's gaze, obviously there was no way to refer to it.

Ding Kai sank his face and said in a stern tone: "At this time, do you want me to name them one by one?" ”

Liu Yi was also shocked when he heard the news that Iron Valley City had been attacked, and the bandit's action was also unexpected, so that he was stunned for almost a minute before he came back to his senses.

"Attack Iron Valley City? Why did the bandits attack Iron Valley City? Liu Yi asked in disbelief.

"How do I know?" Kirin said with a shrug.

"As far as I know, Iron Valley City doesn't have what the robbers want, are they going to rob the ore processing equipment? Even if they occupy the factory, do the robbers have the ability to sell the product? Although Liu Yi's words seemed to be asking Ke Rin, he was asking himself more.

Ke Rin shook his head and said, "I don't know what their intentions are, but the news is true, our eyeliner in Iron Valley City has just been sent. ”

Shangguanzaki interjected, "Could it be that the bandits want to use Iron Valley City as a long-term stronghold, and then slowly attack Yaqiu City?" The last flyer was really just a trick. ”

Liu Yi felt that there was such a possibility, but he was not sure, so he had to say: "This possibility is not impossible, but I don't think this is quite like what the robbers do." Even if they occupy those factories, they have to be able to manage them, otherwise there is no point. ”

At this time, Ke Rin received another video, which was sent by an informant from Iron Valley City, so the three of them hurriedly opened the video to watch it.

The video was apparently taken secretly, and the camera was hiding and shaking badly, and it could be seen that the person who shot the video was very nervous.

As can be seen in the video, a large number of vehicles pass by on the roads of Iron Valley City, and the vehicles are full of heavily armed bandits, who are screaming arrogantly and shooting at both sides of the road from time to time.

In the wilderness near the highway, tall mechs are striding forward, and the loudspeakers on the mechs are ringing, repeating the same words: "We are the Yaqiu Wing of the Free Alliance, immediately lay down our arms and surrender......

Seeing this, the three of them were shocked in their hearts, "These robbers really joined the rebel camp as expected. ”

The video ended quickly, and the three of them felt a little heavy in their hearts, the robbers were stronger than they imagined, and the little weapon in the militia's hands compared to the robbers was like playing at home.

Ke Rin was the first to speak, "What should we do if Iron Valley City falls into the hands of bandits? ”

Shangguan Qi didn't have an idea either, his eyes rolled, and finally set his eyes on Liu Yi.

Now that the development of things has completely exceeded the original expectations, I am afraid that Liu Yi has more ways at this time, after all, Liu Yi is a top student of the Imperial Military Academy.

At this time, Liu Yi also had a solemn face, lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and finally raised his head and said: "I think we should stand still now, this is probably a strategy of the robbers!" ”

Shangguan Qi and Ke Rin listened to Liu Yi's words, glanced at each other, and saw that they both had confused expressions on their faces, and it was obvious that neither of them could understand Liu Yi's opinion.

"How do you know?" Ke Rin turned his head to look at Liu Yi and asked.

"I guess."

"Guess? Do you have any basis for this? ”

Liu Yi thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any evidence now, but I speculate that the purpose of the bandits' sudden attack on Iron Valley City should be to attract the regular army over, and then take the opportunity to attack the empty Yaqiu." ”

"What if the bandits really came to take Iron Valley City? Don't forget, we have agreements with big companies that we have a responsibility to protect their factories if they are attacked. Shangguan Qi reminded.

Liu Yi said very seriously: "Regardless of whether the robbers really want to occupy Tiegu City or not, we can only stand still, and with our little strength, taking the initiative to touch the robbers is looking for death." And more importantly, regardless of whether Iron Valley City is occupied by bandits or not, the bandits will still attack Yaqiu in the end. ”

Hearing this, Shangguan Qi suddenly said: "I understand, Liu Yi is right, no matter what, the robbers will come to attack Yaqiu City in the end, so there is no need to take care of Tiegu City, right?" ”

Liu Yi smiled bitterly: "It's not that we don't have to take care of it, but we don't have the ability to manage it at all, let's talk about it if we can hold Yaqiu." ”

"But isn't there only one way to fall in Iron Valley City? We are a militia, and if we stand by and watch, I am afraid that those who join the militia will not agree. Many of these people have relatives and friends who work in Iron Valley City, and they will definitely ask us to send troops to rescue Iron Valley City......" Ke Rin said uneasily.

"We can't do anything about this, no matter who asks for it, we can't agree, the only thing we can do now is to hold Yaqiu." Liu Yi said unusually firmly.

Ke Rin couldn't accept such a decision, if he watched Iron Valley City fall into the hands of bandits, and they didn't do anything, the locals would definitely scold the militia for being useless and useless.

"Why don't I take a team of people to Iron Valley City to have a look, even if I provide some help to Iron Valley City." Kirin said unreliably.

However, Liu Yi still said firmly: "Can't go!" To go now is to find death! Maybe the robbers are waiting for us halfway down the road to throw ourselves into the net. ”
