Chapter 44: Retreat to the Mountains

An hour later.

Silence has been restored in the vicinity of the city square, where the fighting had been fierce, leaving behind ruins, corpses and wounded people of varying severity.

And both the mutants and the Maltese ground forces disappeared without a trace in the city.

At this time, Yang Yi and the 450 mutants who survived the battle had already evacuated the southern metropolis of China half an hour earlier, and evacuated to the sparsely populated mountainous area.

With such a weak force in the human camp now, if they fight with the Maltese army again, even if these hundreds of people are stronger than the regular Maltese army, they will still be completely annihilated by large-scale encirclement and suppression.

Both Yang Yi and these mutants who have recovered their memories understand the consequences of confronting the Maltese head-on, so they all agree with Yang Yi's plan to evacuate from the central area of the city and to the mountainous areas that are convenient for concealment.

Having personally experienced such a war, these genetic mutants who originally came from ordinary families all over the world were unprecedentedly cruel and shocked by the war in their hearts, and now they have become accustomed to group combat and mutual cooperation, and the sense of team has gradually begun to form.

At the same time, news spread that a mutant army of several hundred men had appeared on Earth to engage the Maltese in China and defeat the Maltese combat forces.

In just a few days, the news spread all over the world, and soon spread on the human side of major cities.

This exciting news, as soon as it was confirmed by the military, quickly had a positive impact. The news of the alien defeat in China appeared in the media headlines of the major surviving cities, and the already desperate people once again saw a glimmer of light.

Someone has finally shattered the myth that aliens are undefeated, which is undoubtedly a good example.

The morale of the human army has been greatly boosted.

In the subsequent battles with the Maltese, the soldiers of various nations behaved even more bravely, and many soldiers died heroically with the Maltese.

For a moment, the tide of battle began to get delicate, and although the human side was still unable to stand up to the Maltese's formidable ground forces, it was clearly much better than at the beginning.

In some central cities on all continents, the surviving citizens found that the pace of the Maltese offensive had slowed down significantly, and even evacuated some cities.

In the highlands of western China, however, there are huge numbers of Maltese air and ground forces.

It turned out that the Maltese had not really evacuated from the earth, and they had concentrated their forces from other parts of the globe to this area of China, which covered an area of three million square kilometers, in order to encircle and suppress their henchmen, the hundreds of mutants who had survived the battle.

Five days later.

Southwest China, known as the plateau, is a mountainous region.

Everywhere there are strange rocky cliffs, deep pits and ravines.

In an abandoned military base far from the city, hundreds of strange-looking and strange-shaped monsters gather here, centering on the military base to form a defensive position here.

These people are naturally the three hundred and eighty mutants who have just arrived here under the leadership of Yang Yi to get rid of the air and ground encirclement and suppression of the Maltese. In several sporadic battles with the Maltese in the past few days, there was another attrition, and fifty mutants were killed.

On the hill near the defensive position, Yang Yi stood on a mountain rock, looking into the distance with a frown, while Han Weiwei sat on a clean big rock next to her, with slightly beautiful eyebrows, and she also looked a little worried.

Nearby are several mutants on alert.

Recalling the current form that the whole group is facing, Yang can't help but feel even more worried, the current form is simply dangerous and abnormal for them.

Since these people were ordinary people before the mutation and had no formal military training, they had almost no power to fight back in the face of the combined strike of the Maltese air and ground. I can only be chased and fled all the way, and several times I was almost surrounded by a large army of the Maltese who were many times larger than my own side, if it wasn't for the strong combat effectiveness to forcibly break through, I am afraid that they would have been annihilated or scattered long ago, how can these people be saved now!

It seems that we can no longer fight alone, and we must immediately find a way to join the PLA. Only after joining forces with the regular army, with the regular army's systematic supporting strategy and command, can it not be completely wiped out.

At the same time that the Maltese commander mobilized a large number of open ground troops from all over the world and began to encircle and suppress the hundreds of surviving mutants.

The Chinese People's Liberation Army also learned of the existence of this mutant unit, and began to send air and ground reinforcements several times in an attempt to join Yang Yiren.

Yang Yi's evacuation to this military base was the result of the Chinese Air Force not hesitating to be shot down by the Maltese pentagonal spacecraft, with 200 unmanned fighters and 20 manned fighters being guided all the way.

"Chief of Staff Gao, where are Yang Yi and them now?"

In the underground command center, which is 1,500 kilometers away from the military base, the middle-aged general looked solemnly at the theater joint operations command center and the timely operational dynamics of each combat node on the holographic screen.

This person was dressed in army uniform, with a burly and tall figure, and his dark skin was clearly defined, and it was General Liu Hong, the commander of the Southern Theater of Operations.

"According to the geographical location of the five J-60 aerospace fighters we dispatched an hour ago before they were shot down, they should have just arrived at the No. 13 military base in our theater of operations." Gao Hui, the theater joint chief of staff, dressed in an air force uniform, said as he looked at the picture of mutants near the military base on the holographic screen.

"It's a pity that Base Ten has been destroyed by the Maltese, otherwise we would have been able to join them there." General Liu Hong, commander of the theater of operations, looked at the picture and said with regret.

"Yes, now our air force basically has no air supremacy, and it will be shot down by the Maltese pentagonal spacecraft as soon as it flies, and the army troops are far away, so they can't maneuver to the vicinity of the thirteenth base in a short time, and now the Maltese have airdropped nearly two million ground troops in our theater of operations, and they are advancing near the thirteenth base on a large scale, and a reinforced brigade we dispatched before has encountered several times their Maltese ground heavy troops, and a fierce battle is being launched."

Chief of Staff Gao Hui pointed to a real-time video of the engagement displayed on the holographic screen of the theater joint operations command center, and his face was worried.

Judging by the real-time display of the holographic video, the situation of this unit is quite not optimistic, a large number of equipment is being destroyed, and the casualties are soaring rapidly.

"Report to the theater command center, our unit has been attacked by a joint Maltese air-ground attack, and the casualties of the troops are serious, please request support!"

At the moment when Chief of Staff Gao spoke, the anxious figure of the commander of the unit appeared on the holographic screen.

"Brigade Commander Wang, how much time can you hold on, the mutants led by Yang Yi are near the No. 13 base five hundred kilometers away from your department, I have ordered the Rocket Force troops in the theater to launch smart conventional missiles to strike at the Maltese troops, as long as you hold on for another five minutes, our follow-up troops will be able to join you, and the Aerospace Force fighters can also avoid the Maltese pentagonal spacecraft and force out again."

Liu Hong, the commander of the theater of operations, looked at Brigade Commander Wang on the holographic combat screen and said.

In fact, everyone knows very well that as soon as the missiles of the Rocket Force and the planes of the Aerospace Forces take off, they will be shot down by the energy weapons and spacecraft deployed by the Maltese over the earth.

"Guarantee the completion of the mission, we will hold on for another ten minutes to buy time for the other troops!" After Brigadier Wang finished speaking categorically, he hung up the connection.

"Old Gao, it seems that they can still hold on, and order all the other troops in the theater to take the No. 13 base as the center and move to this area, striving to meet Yang Yi in the shortest possible time.

No matter how great the price is, it is necessary to fulfill the order issued by the head of the Military Commission to protect the safety of this mutant in this theater of operations, because only by joining forces with this unit that can survive several battles with the Maltese can the key to breaking the myth of the invincibility of the Maltese can be found. ”

Liu Hong, the commander of the theater of operations, said as he looked at the holographic video showing the picture of regional mutants.
