Chapter 237: A Shot That Didn't Exist
The non-commissioned officer's worries were not unreasonable, although not as serious as he imagined, but it was indeed a sudden crisis, and it happened to happen that the battle between Jinling and the Zerg had just ended, the troops were weakened, and there were huge troops of unknown purpose neatly arranged outside the city walls.

A minute earlier, a series of engine roars came from Jinling Station, and six ZBL-09 infantry combat vehicles loaded with 42 heavily armed officers and men of the 91st Division roared out of the station, and they received an order that spies had been found in Jinling City, and that the direct commanders of the 91st Division needed their protection.
At the same time, the barracks scattered in various important areas of the city have received orders from the commanders of the divisions and divisions, and according to the wartime regulations, the commanders of the units at and above the battalion level may privately transfer no more than one reinforced platoon or more after the headquarters has lost contact with the headquarters to protect the security of the command departments at all levels, until contact with the headquarters is re-established or until the reorganized headquarters issues further orders. Originally, this was the best plan to ensure that all branches of the armed forces fought according to the predetermined plan and to avoid the possibility of self-respect among the senior officers after the "beheading" of their own commander-in-chief.
When the Liang Army, which maintained the balance of power in the entire military region, was no longer able to play the role of deterrence and bond, the high-level personnel who personally felt the surging dark tide in the city did not say that they wanted to seize power, but at least they protected themselves as soon as possible.
This led to a movement of barracks almost all over the city, and troops of less than 60 people quickly assembled towards the northern city wall, for no other reason, because all the senior generals in the army were concentrated in the not too big tent at the front command post at this time!
The small but large number of military deployments immediately attracted the attention of the staff officers who stayed behind in the various units, and they quickly deduced according to the regulations that there must have been an accident in the commander-in-chief, but this shock throughout the army had no exact goal and plan at the beginning, and everyone only knew that there were spies in the army, and as for the following, such as which forces the spies came from and where they were, there was no mention in the orders sent, and even when the troops contacted their respective commanders again, they were all like stones in the sea. It was as if communications from the entire military district to the command post at the front were cut off.
The confused military forces had no choice but to immediately contact the air force headquarters of the Purple Mountain Observatory, and for a while the phone calls asking about the situation outside the city rang all over the mountain, and the air force duty officers who were also anxious had to deal with some questions such as "whether the swarm has returned" and "whether the peacekeepers have begun to attack the city" and other questions that made them all feel a burst of panic, and the sub-screens in the main control room were full of the stationing of peacekeepers outside the city, and everyone's eyes widened, for fear that they would miss a trace that could provide information.
In view of whether the peacekeeping force sent a team to infiltrate the city, the air force intelligence department conducted a rigorous investigation, a bunch of technicians in front of the computer to look at the video transmitted by the drone before, the WJ-600 tactical drone that had been hovering at high altitude in order to avoid misunderstanding was also ordered to slowly reduce the altitude, and cooperate with the city defense force to find possible loopholes in the defense line.
If it weren't for the strict air control in the city, the army aviation unit would have been unable to hold back and take to the air. After all, the restless eagles strictly abided by the established military discipline, after all, before the command gave the order, if a plane rose into the air without authorization, the air force had the power to shoot it down immediately.
While all branches of the armed forces are doing their best to restrain themselves from possible transgressions, they can no longer restrain themselves in front of the front-line command posts.
An infantry force without any unit markings surrounded the front-line command post, but strangely but unexpectedly, the muzzle of the gun was pointed in the direction of the outside, and the well-drilled queue, led by a battalion commander with camouflage paint on his face, immediately occupied several cement piers outside the tent, and set up light machine guns accordingly, using two parked off-road vehicles to build a rudimentary but no holes in the defensive line.
All were painted with oil paint, which was completely invisible, and two bespectacled junior officers were wrapped in combat masks. This kind of cotton products, which were distributed to the armed police force to prevent criminals from retaliating against the armed police and their families after a failed arrest operation, has now become a warm equipment for middle- and lower-ranking officers to train and fight outdoors, after all, in the cities where military control is now in place, it seems that there is no need to worry about terrorist retaliation.
Checkpoints and patrols on the main roads of Jinling had been informed in advance and urgently evacuated, and groups of armored infantry combat vehicles and military off-road vehicles were speeding through the wide deserted streets, and the hands of the computer had not been down 100 since the beginning of the rotation. Judging from the display screen of the air force headquarters, there seemed to be more than a dozen yellow dragons flying in the sky throughout the city.
However, the road leading to the central section of the northern city wall could only converge on a wide two-way six-lane road, and the detachments belonging to the various departments showed an unusual indifference at the moment of encounter, and the convoys that continued to join from the various sections of the road also obediently fell silent after waving to the large force but receiving no reply.
Each convoy was silently rushing away, and it was not the soldiers with guns in the cabin who determined their attitude towards their colleagues, but the officers directly under the passenger seat of the lead car, and those who could be sent to lead the team naturally had a clearer understanding of the current situation. In their eyes, each parallel convoy is a potential enemy and adversary.
However, when they looked back at the officers and soldiers who were either closing their eyes or whispering through the small glass window on the bulletproof steel plate, a trace of hesitation appeared in the bottom of their strong calm hearts.
Should these innocent warriors really be dragged into this maelstrom that has nothing to do with them?
After sixteen minutes of driving, when the speed had increased to 160 yards away, there was a sudden screeching braking sound from the leading motorcade, and the originally straight queue suddenly drifted to the left in a cloud of burnt tire smoke.
Before the spectacular sight of a dozen convoys drifting at the same time could alarm the defenders of the city, a heart-pounding burst of gunfire echoed in everyone's ears.
The convoy in the rear was blocked by the layers of armored fighting vehicles and rapidly turning turrets in front of it, and the vision could only be seen as a rain-like tracer bullet flying between the outer armor of the various vehicles, and the scalp-numbing "pop" sound soon drowned out the shouts of the officers giving orders, and some of the unknown soldiers were driven out of the car without even having time to turn on the communication channel on their helmets, because experience told them and their superiors that staying in the car when they were ambushed was undoubtedly a death-threatening act, All it takes is a 90mm universal rocket to send everyone in an entire off-road vehicle into the sky.
However, the situation was completely different on some wheeled infantry fighting vehicles with base steel plates and ceramic draped armor, and they stayed inside the vehicle according to the usual training requirements, after all, if the 30-ton creature could not guarantee their safety, staying outside the vehicle would be a complete death.
It is precisely because of the difference in vehicles and the confusion of command that the blocked convoy no longer even has the possibility of retreating to the surroundings, and the soldiers in the armored vehicle vigilantly observe the scene outside through the three periscopes in front of the hatch, while the soldiers in the off-road vehicle have long been hiding behind the wheeled infantry chariot with thick skin, and they don't even know that their bodies are blocking the opponent's shooting port.
These grassroots soldiers did not notice in their panic, they thought it was an ambush, but in fact it was a positional battle.
They had already reached the northern wall.
The commander of the nameless unit that surrounded or guarded the command post did not know whether the first shot came from his own soldiers or the frightening group of black stops on the opposite side, but in short, a gunshot suddenly broke out in the continuous braking sound on the opposite side, and then the exchange of fire began.
"Which bastard went out of the way!" The anger that almost burst his lungs filled his chest not only in his chest, but also in the hearts of the commanders of the two convoys at the front.
The nameless soldiers guarding the middle of the two stone piers who tried to stop the convoy were swept into a basket by the sudden bullets at the first time, and the soldiers guarding behind the stone piers turned red the moment they saw their comrades killed, and without saying a word, they set up the machine guns on the stone piers and began to shoot at a row of military vehicles in front!
As soon as the roar of the heavy machine gun "buzzed", the soldiers on the military vehicle reflexively jumped under the car, but fortunately they jumped in time, except for the direct commanders of the two cars who were in the passenger seat facing the muzzle of the gun and had no way to dodge being nailed to the seat by the red bullet chain, the soldiers in the back seat of the car only suffered a little abrasion at most.
The bewildered soldiers responded to the nameless soldiers who opened fire on them without saying a word, and the oil paint on the other side's facial features and the clothes with the armbands removed made them look like a group of African visitors in military uniforms. Naturally, if there is no sign in Jinling City, it is not a regular army, although the soldiers of these two convoys are still suspicious, but the tragic death of the direct officer has given them enough stimulation.
If you don't have an order and you're attacked, there's only one option in this case.
This sudden situation created the first room-to-room fight in Jinling City since the implementation of military control, and it was also the largest incident of accidental injury of friendly soldiers.
At least in terms of formation, they are indeed allies. (To be continued.) )
