Chapter 406: Li Xiaodong's responsibility
The smoke of gunpowder dissipated, and the remnants of the sun were like blood.
Dozens of corpses covered with sheets were placed in the camp, and Company Commander Li, who had a sad face, accompanied Li Xiaodong, slowly passed by the corpses, and saluted every one of the war dead.
After this battle, Company Commander Li's company was seriously reduced, and it seemed that it had won the battle, but the actual situation was even more dangerous.
The enemy did not exert all their strength, and there was a possibility of a more ferocious counterattack at any time, and the company of Commander Li was no longer able to hold the slope and fight the enemy.
The only consolation is that these dozens of people did not die in vain, and more than 100 enemy troops who came to attack were all killed, and not many ran back.
Li Xiaodong walked to the place where the captured guns and ammunition were stacked, looked at the two mortars captured by his own hands, and said: "The enemy still has artillery, and he will definitely not be able to hold it if he comes again, have you thought about it, where should you retreat?"
Company Commander Li shook his head silently after hearing this, and he didn't know where to retreat.
More than 100 subordinates, as well as wounded soldiers, as well as a group of civilians who had escaped, and thousands of mutant villagers who were very dangerous and had to be kept in isolation, seemed to have nowhere to go except to wait for help.
But can the reinforcements come?
The area around Hekou Town, a hundred miles away, has become white-hot, and this small group of enemy troops that have infiltrated the rear is obviously cooperating with the enemy's frontal attack.
Not only could he not reinforce them, but Company Commander Li also received an order to assist in defense: at all costs, bite this enemy force to death, and not let them move south.
He was silent for a while, and then said: "Commissioner Li, just now the superior called, after the General's Mansion learned of the situation here, he asked that your safety must be ensured, and I will arrange a squad to escort you, leave here, and find a safe place to hide." ”
Li Xiaodong nodded after hearing this, and asked, "What else did you say?"
Company Commander Li said bitterly: "I also said that the mutated villagers imprisoned in the isolation camp are fully authorized by me, and they can be disposed of at will in an emergency, preferably humanely destroyed." ”
After hearing this, Li Xiaodong stopped, frowned and looked at him, and only asked after a while, "What else did you say?"
Company Commander Li shook his head, "There are also some urgent military affairs, and if you say it, you don't have to say it......" and sighed again: "Commissioner Li still doesn't need to know, his subordinates will accompany you to have a meal now, and make a good meal for you, and then, your subordinates will no longer be able to accompany you, so you should leave quickly." ”
"......" Li Xiaodong thought for a while, did not say anything, and left the empty flat accompanied by him and walked in the direction of the barracks.
"Little blind man, did you hear, what did Company Commander Li and Commissioner Li say?"
In a house dozens of meters behind them, a thin and mutated boy with white membrane in his eyes hid in the corner of the wall behind the house, pricked up one ear, and secretly aimed at the direction in which Li Xiaodong and Commissioner Li were walking.
The boy was also genetically mutated, and his eyes could barely see light, but his sense of smell and hearing, especially hearing, far exceeded the level of ordinary hearing.
He groped his way to his feet, touched the snake girl's hands, and replied: "Today's gunshot, it was the Red Turban Army coming, Company Commander Li They are going to be finished, just now Company Commander Li said that he would soon send someone to send Commissioner Li away and find a place to hide, Company Commander Li also said that the superior gave an order...... His tone had become sad, "Sister Snake Girl, we are all going to die, and we are going to be destroyed humanely." ”
The snake girl's body trembled after hearing this, and she couldn't help but look at her eyes gradually sad.
"It seems that it should come, but it is still ......"
She slowly turned her head, looked at Li Xiaodong's disappearing back, and muttered, "Mr. Li, are you leaving?"
The dinner was unusually rich, but the snake girl, several elders, and a few mutated villagers who had already learned the news had no appetite and barely ate.
Because they knew in their hearts that this should be the Last Supper, a severed head meal.
In the prefabricated house, several people hung their heads and were silent for a long time, and Ah Niu, who was paralyzed on the bed with his legs amputated, suddenly became excited, clenched his fists and shouted: "Fight with them! I don't want to die!"
"Ah Niu is right, I can only fight with them and live one by one!" The only female elder, an old woman, was also excited.
But Ah Niu's father, Niu Lao, and the other elders, and even the snake girl, all did not speak, and were still silent.
How to spell?
The sentry towers at the four corners are always aimed at them with machine guns, and there are wire barriers at the open floor at any time, and there are also sentries of a squad with guns and loaded bullets, who are always watching the movement of the board house, do you want to fight with the bullets?
Maybe before they could rush out and fight desperately, their bullets, grenades, or flamethrowers would already fly over, and maybe all the villagers of the mutant village, as well as this simple board house, would be reduced to ashes like the corpses that had been burned before.
"I wanted to get close to him, but the sentry didn't allow me to cross the cordon, so I didn't have a chance. ”
The snake girl closed her eyes and shed tears: "I'm sorry, elders, I've done my best, he must have left." ”
Several people shook their heads in unison, secretly grieving.
"Elders, elders, quick!" Commissioner Li came with a message, asking us to send a representative and quickly go to his room to discuss matters!" a man stumbled in from outside.
"What? Commissioner Li didn't leave?" the snake girl stood up in surprise, and several other elders also stood up.
"Did he say anything?" asked one of the elders.
The man gasped and said: "Commissioner Li brought a message saying that the situation is critical now, and the camp will be occupied by the Red Turban bandits at any time, and in order to save the villagers of the thousands of polluted villages from being slaughtered by the war, he asked us to send a plenipotentiary representative to discuss the matter on behalf of all of us, so as to arrange our way out." ”
"What, arrange a way out for us?" several elders were surprised, "Didn't the military already issue an order asking Company Commander Li to destroy us humanely? Why do you still arrange our way out?"
The man said excitedly: "I heard the soldier say that Commissioner Li was having a meeting with Company Commander Li, Mayor Wu and several company officers just now, and Mayor Wu and the officers thought that we were all burdens and should act according to the orders of our superiors and execute us, but Commissioner Li said that mutants are also human beings, and it is not permissible to slaughter at will, and he also said that he will take care of everything and give us a way to live!"
Hearing this, the snake girl's eyes turned red, and her heart was full of emotion.
Several elders became excited, and said, "Snake girl, you are the representative, go and see him......"
