Chapter 275: The Blind Man
The soldier who was driving was about to slow down, when the corner of his eye swept over the building on the right, and suddenly saw a pair of red lights on the second floor window.
His face changed, and he quickly stepped on the accelerator deeply, preparing to leave the danger zone.
The driver's reaction was fast, but unfortunately the thing was faster.
As the brightness of the red light increased, a black shadow rushed out of the abandoned building, spanning a distance of several meters, and landed accurately on the cargo compartment of the modified pickup truck.
There was a thud, and the body shook violently.
Before the soldier in the co-pilot could react, the driver hurriedly looked back and shouted a small ......
Before he could say the word, the warm liquid sprayed his face, and a disgusting smell of blood rippled in his mouth.
The vision was stained red because the face was covered in blood.
Not his blood, it was the blood of the machine gun operator in the back seat.
The man had a hole in his chest, and blood gushed out of it.
The driver saw a blood-stained, metallic claw slowly retract, with small arcs of lightning flashing on it.
The machine gun operator falls to the side, giving way to the rear window.
The driver then sees a robotic beast with a cheetah head.
He slammed the brakes, forgot to step on the clutch with his left foot, turned off the engine, and the modified pickup truck stopped in place.
Boom! The co-pilot soldier's head slammed into the B-pillar.
The driver also crashed into the steering wheel and felt a little dizzy, but he quickly reacted and looked behind him.
There was a screeching sound.
There are five more openings in the partition between the rear seats and the cargo compartment that are two or three centimeters wide.
The metal plate made of fine iron was like papier-mâché in front of the claws of the automaton!
"Quick, run......"
The driver didn't have time to wipe the blood off his face, kicked the car door, jumped out of the car and ran without hesitation.
However, before his feet touched the ground, he suddenly saw a hideous-looking metal face flash in the rearview mirror, followed by a strong force from behind, and then a piercing chill spread through his body.
The driver's face was pressed against the window, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught blood spraying on the glass, snaking bright red.
That's like ...... His blood.
………………
The armored unit of the city defense army left through the side gate of the pedestrian street, relying on the ruins of the city as a cover, and approached in the direction of the playground.
The main battle tanks and armoured vehicles were followed by scattered infantry, eight of whom wore P-43 power armor and carried squad machine guns.
It seemed reckless to dispatch the strongest military force in Kite City without figuring out the enemy's troop deployment, but the actual situation was a decision made by Jiang Heng after careful consideration.
Tang Yan once visited Yuancheng and received a high-level reception, knowing where the facilities for the Yuancheng City Defense Army to store important weapons and materials were located. God knows if he will make another move to "smash the Yellow Dragon" after blowing up the gate firepower point, and lift the old bottom of the city defense army.
Therefore, instead of staying in the city, weapons such as main battle tanks and armored vehicles should leave through the side gate and enter the complex terrain area like the ruins of Yuancheng, which can effectively dodge missile strikes, and can also wait for opportunities to move and pose a threat to missile combat vehicles.
Of course, whether to retreat to defend or stride forward depends on the news from the vehicles that went to deal with the forced landing airship.
In addition to the Type 88-II main battle tank lost during the attack on Maxim's Cannery and the Type 99B main battle tank that was blown up by a missile at the entrance of Pedestrian Street, the city defense force also has one Type 99A tank, two Type 96 tanks, two Type 85-III tanks, and one Type 85-II tank.
In addition, there are three self-propelled guns, six infantry fighting vehicles, as well as several howitzers of different calibers.
It can be seen that the number of residents in Kite City is smaller than that of Gem City, but its military strength is completely worthy of the Jewel City Guards, and it is even higher.
This is the family foundation that Fei Xiang has accumulated for a long time.
The commander of the armored forces was Jiang Heng's nephew, named Jiang Yan. As the name suggests, he is a stubborn and self-righteous guy with a stiff face all day long.
When Wang Puzhao returned from defeat, he was a person who advocated severe punishment and heavy accountability.
How many times did he volunteer to lead the team to kill the Meixin Canning Factory, and wanted to use Tang Yan's head to save the reputation of the city defense army, but unfortunately he was suppressed by Jiang Heng, and he was asked to face the wall for seven days to change his hot temper.
Today's opportunity has finally arrived...... He finally waited for the opportunity to take revenge and make a name for himself at the same time.
Originally, Liu Dayou, as the deputy commander of the city defense army, was also in charge of the armored troops, but now that Liu Dayou is dead, he alone has the final say on the entire team.
The fact that a missile from an enemy tank blew up the gate and blew up Liu Dayou's car did not make him fearful, but aroused the cruelty and bloodlust that he had suppressed in his heart.
There are always some people in this world who will be excited when they see the picture of blood flowing, and Liu Dayou is such a person.
Regardless of whether he is friend or foe, as long as there is blood flying and limbs flying around, it is not only a kind of enjoyment for him, but also the embodiment of the value of life as a soldier.
Jiang Heng's order to him was to use the cover of the ruins of the building to take it step by step, and not to act rashly until the reconnaissance team in front did not report back. Jiang Yan did not fully follow his uncle's instructions and told the self-propelled artillery squad to go to several higher areas near the pedestrian street and prepare for battle.
He himself led the tank units to the south.
Although Jiang Yan has his own little abacus, it doesn't mean that he is a stunned and iron-headed baby. As he led his troops, he gave an order to the motorcycle troops------ scattering them to nearby neighborhoods and racing through the rubble, creating a soaring sandstorm to confuse the enemy's vision.
The faster two-wheeled vehicles in the motorcycle team were tasked with the follow-up reconnaissance mission, and went to the location of the amusement park ruins------ Thaksin did not accept the vehicle team sent earlier. Because the vehicle is too large to target, it can be easily targeted by the enemy, and a small, fast unit such as a motorcycle is better suited for reconnaissance missions.
Jiang Yan's view of himself is that his radicalism and iron blood come from self-confidence, from bravery, from coarse and fine, not from character defects. If he was really a brainless and self-righteous reckless man, even if his uncle was the commander of the city defense army, Fei Xiang would not be able to hand over such an important position as the deputy commander of the armored forces to him.
Tang Yan ...... I hope you also come to the battlefield, instead of hiding in the rear and being a turtle with a shrunken head. He secretly thought in his heart, even if he couldn't twist that person's head off and kick it as a ball, today he had to show the Pandaren Legion how terrible he was when he was serious.
His deployment was not unreasonable, and it was a bit of a wit, but the fact is that this wit turned out to be a clumsy plan.
Jiang Yan mistakenly thought that the enemy had only dispatched a missile combat vehicle this time, plus a small number of escort forces at most. Because in his values, where do you need too many reasons to start a war, Kite City and Gem City have been hostile for a long time, and both sides basically have an attitude of being able to do anything about the enemy and never forcing it.
Today, Tang Yan dispatched an airship and made a sensational speech, what is the purpose? It was not to shake the trust of the people of Yuancheng in Fei Xiang, so as to create social chaos, so as to counter the fact that the city defense army had robbed the Xia family's transport convoy.
If Tang Yan had the strength to level the Kite City, he also had such thoughts, why did he make such a move? He didn't believe that kid didn't know that propaganda warfare couldn't bring down Fei Xiang, and once ordinary people formed a mindset, it would be difficult to change it, let alone say that it was still an enemy.
Missile attacks like the one that followed were more of an act of anger than a signal of all-out war.
After all, there are only more than 100 people in the Panda People Legion, compared to the forces of the wasteland world, it is just a mercenary group that does not enter the stream, but there is Jicheng standing behind Kite City, and attacking Kite City is not as good as solving Hui Liancai, Chai Xiaonong and others, unless Tang Yan eats the courage of the ambitious leopard, he will never dare to launch a full-scale war.
Based on the above considerations, he finally came to the conclusion that Tang Yan was bluffing.
From ordering motorcycle teams to run around the neighborhood to create sandstorms to confuse the enemy's sight, to analyzing the relationship between the Pandaren Legion, Jewel City, Kite City, and Jeseong, and how this relationship implicates the facts. It can be seen that Jiang Yan is not really reckless, and he is still reliable at the critical moment.
Unfortunately, his wit and coarse were used by the wrong person.
Just like Xia Xin said, his opponent is a sanctimonious guy, obviously thinking in his heart that he wants to get down to the opponent, and he still wants to pretend to be a weak man, which makes people think that Deputy Commander Tang is a reasonable and honest man, but ...... Honest people also have times when they are forced to be in a hurry.
As a result, Jiang Yan's understanding of the wasteland society made him make wrong assumptions.
And this erroneous presumption made him pretend to be a stupid boy.
When the Three Musketeers appear on the frontal battlefield, the side three-wheelers that have spread to nearby neighborhoods take to the path of digging their own graves.
Woo......
Woo......
Woo......
The roar of the locomotive engine echoed through a thick curtain of sand over the ruins of Kite.
Seven or eight blocks southeast of the pedestrian street were shrouded in dust, and from the distance the tall buildings looked like a yellow mist, and the ruins of the buildings covered everything on the road.
Suddenly, a flaming "dagger" stirred up the entire fog, bringing a swirling air current, making the fog tumbling in mid-air even thicker, and almost nothing could be seen.
The driver of a side three-wheeled motorcycle was stunned by the rushing wind, and a large amount of dust fell on his face, mask, sunglasses, and body, like a monkey out of the dirt.
"What's that?"
The gunman sitting in the side compartment shook his head, and a muffled voice came out of his mouth: "No...... I don't know. ”
At this moment, there was another swishing sound on the right side of the thunderous figures, the turbulent air currents dispersed like a tidal wave, the hot wind blew the military uniforms on their bodies, their hair flew up to the back, and they couldn't open their eyes.
"Yes...... It's a missile...... It's a missile......" The gunner was frightened, his face was sallow, his hand holding the trigger of the squad machine gun trembled slightly, and a layer of sweat appeared in his palm.
He could only think of this one explanation, and only this one explanation could make sense.
"Don't be afraid, even if it's a missile, it's a missile." When he said this, the driver was actually quite proud, because the scene in front of him proved that Jiang Yan's command was right, and the motorcycle team created a sandstorm in a large area, making the enemy mistakenly believe that a large number of armed vehicles were passing through the streets, thus attracting the attack of missile chariots.
But what? Nothing......
No, to be exact, there is only one side three-wheeler, how is it possible to hit a side three-wheeler in a dusty environment?! That's just a dream.
The driver's reminder made the gunner suddenly realize that he laughed: "The driver of the enemy tank is a fool, right?" It's no wonder that a blind attack like this can hit us. ”
After saying this, he stood up, covered in dust, and waved his arms towards the area where the playground ruins were located: "Hey, we are here, we are here, come to beat me, there is a kind of you to beat me?" ”
Dust obscured the position of the side three-wheeler, and the gunman's face obscured his expression with goggles and masks. However, it is not difficult to hear from this underwhelming tone that his mood at this moment is happy, relaxed, and happy.
At this moment, a voice came from behind: "Shout...... Are you telling me to hit you? ”
The gunman thought he was hallucinating, but quickly reacted and looked behind him.
I saw a cone-shaped car body drive out of the rolling dust curtain, and the thing had no wheels, just whining and floating in the air.
As the hull approached the side three-wheeler, a man with a steel helmet appeared in front of them.
There is no doubt that the words came from the man's mouth.
The gunner and driver were dumbfounded, thinking that the swishing flashes were missiles fired by the missile chariot, and the gunners stood up and taunted each other.
Now they know that what is whizzing by is not a missile, but a floating chariot coming from behind.
What does that mean, that chariot rushed behind them and passed in front of them? It's playing with them!
Not only did they not realize the true face of the so-called "missiles", but they were also stupid and arrogant to provoke the enemy...... This...... It's such a shame.
Yes, it's a shame!
Of course, this shame did not last long, and a revolver pierced the sand curtain.
Boom!
The dust floating around the gun flickered, the gunman's head exploded like a watermelon falling from a ten-story building, and blood and brains sprayed the driver's body.
"Zang Feng, this guy, you have to let me use it. What to say about vulture chariots and revolvers is a man's romance. He knows the romance of a fart! ”
Boom!
Another gunshot rang out.
The figure in the driver's seat of the side tuk was planted with flying blood, and the vehicle drove forward, finally crashing into the crumbling façade on the right side with a thud, and was buried by falling bricks and dirt.
Wei Qianshou looked to the left after solving the two of them.
The dust rippled like smoke in the air, with a slight hum, and another vulture chariot broke through the sand curtain and appeared not far away.
Also sitting in the car was a man with a steel helmet.
With the next breath, the man lifted the glass cover on the outside of the steel helmet and spat out the cigarette filter with a pop.
"The two unlucky children on the street next to him actually said that we were blind, and he actually said that the people of the Panda People Legion were a group of blind people, and he said that we were blind to choose such a deputy commander......"
