Chapter Seventy-Two: The Dilemma of Leaving the Sea
A huge cannon shot woke Luo Yu from his sleep, and he jumped up with a spirit, and quickly climbed to the window to look out.
The sound of cannons came from the front, where there was thick smoke, the flames of war were flying, and endless wolf smoke billowed up into the air, until the clouds, and there were fires that appeared and disappeared in the thick smoke, and from time to time there was a violent movement, resounding through this mountain range. It seemed that the battle was very fierce, and Luo Yu felt that the hull of the ship was constantly vibrating while standing.
"Arrive at Lihai City, and the real battle is about to begin!" Ling Lin also looked out of another window.
After a night's journey, the battleship landed on an open flat ground not far northwest of Haishi, where human armies were stationed, and there were many makeshift tents set up on the ground, and figures ran back and forth, and a tense atmosphere permeated the crowd.
Many of the wounded were carried into the infirmary, the soldiers who had been wounded in the battle ahead, but fortunately did not die, but they were not far from dying.
Luo Yu and Ling Lin got off the battleship and rushed to the command center of this war zone.
"I'm Sergeant Ling Lin of the Yunyuan City National Garrison Army, let me meet your commander." Ling Lin said hurriedly to a soldier at the door.
Walking into the combat command center, a middle-aged man walked up to him, stretched out his hand to Ling Lin and said, "Hello, I am the person in charge of the first war zone in Lihai City this time, my name is Liu Shuang." ”
"Hello, I'm Ling Lin, the Yunyuan City military sent reinforcements, what's the situation now?" Ling Lin and Liu Shuang shook hands and went straight to the point.
Liu Shuang is about forty years old, with a tough face and a straight military uniform, but at the moment he is unkempt and a little haggard, probably because the battle situation in the past few days has made him fall into a state of anxiety.
There were also a few people in the tent who were busy in front of the computer, constantly giving orders to the communication system.
"The first team is attacking in the direction of the enemy at nine o'clock, there is a defensive corner, hurry up, and the second team follows ......"
"Hey, hey!! Nine teams receive please answer, nine teams, nine teams! ......" followed by a beepping sound of disconnecting.
"Smack!" With a loud bang, the earphones were smashed on the ground, and a young man stood up with a sad expression, he lifted his foot and smashed the almost broken machine on the ground, as if he was still angry, turned around and kicked the table next to him, and with a bang, the entire long wooden table was kicked over, and then fell to the ground.
"Damn, how can this battle be fought, this is to let us go to death!" He hugged his head, and suddenly crouched on the ground like a child, and there was a suppressed cry. Everyone else stopped moving, and the whole command room was filled with an atmosphere of sadness, a sense of powerlessness and frustration with reality.
The bad news kept coming, in fact, everyone knew that this was an impossible war to win, the enemy was too strong, and if these soldiers met the opponent head-on, it was almost certain that they would die. The bones of all the warriors, just to delay a little time.
And the tens of millions of lives that need to be saved are still disappearing one after another......
"Wang Meng, Wang Meng...... Hey" Liu Shuang stepped forward and patted Wang Meng's shoulder, but the other party didn't react, he stood up with a pale face and sighed. His expression looked tired and helpless.
"Team Liu......" Ling Lin whispered behind her back to remind Liu Shuang that there were more important things to do now.
"Come." Liu Shuang paused, turned around and returned to his usual face, worthy of being a veteran of the battlefield, he quickly stabilized his mood and brought Luo Yu and Ling Lin to a sand table.
"You see, this is the entire range of Lihai City, the eastern part of the city is the ocean area, there is no high ground on all sides, most of it is plain, in fact, the position of the other party is very unfavorable, there is almost no shelter on all sides, it belongs to the terrain that is easy to attack and difficult to defend......"
"Why don't you cover such terrain with heavy fire?" Ling Lin asked.
"You don't know, the intelligence is wrong, there are tens of millions of civilians in the city, imprisoned by them, and almost the entire population of the city is concentrated in one place by the 'demons', and according to the news transmitted by the satellite, there is ......"
Liu Shuang paused, did not continue, he raised his hand and wiped it with the back of his hand at the corner of his eye, his eyes were a little red and swollen, Luo Yu could see clearly, there was a tear stain there.
After calming down a little, he continued: "Almost every two or three hours, hundreds of civilians are brutally murdered by those demons, and blood flows all over the ground, staining the entire ground with blood......
"What!" Ling Lin covered her mouth and looked at Liu Shuang blankly with a pair of beautiful eyes, with shock and panic in her eyes, and deep pain on her face.
Luo Yu stepped forward and supported Ling Lin's unsteady body.
"I'm fine!" Ling Lin looked at Luo Yu and said, she stabilized her emotions, turned to Liu Shuang, and said, "What are we going to do next?" How can I help you? ”
Luo Yu looked at Ling Lin's hands trembling, and could see that she was suppressing her emotions strongly, Luo Yu was also angry when he heard the news, so many people, more extensive and densely populated than Xingluo City, how many killings and tragedies would be caused.
He couldn't help but clench his hands.
"We need air support, at present, there are no species that can fly among these demons, there are some helicopters, but the speed is too slow, as long as it is on the ground, it will be destroyed by these brutal monsters, it is said that the mecha troops of Yunyuan City can carry out air combat?" Liu Shuang asked, then looked at Ling Lin expectantly.
"Yes, we are a mecha unit, and we can fight the enemy head-on alone...... Ling Lin's mind became active, and at the same time his eyes looked at Luo Yu, the two looked at each other, the light in their eyes flowed, and they seemed to understand each other's meaning in an instant.
"However, we have brought another device that can greatly compensate for the lack of combat power in the air." Ling Lin said.
The number of mecha troops itself is not large, and the cost of a set of mecha is expensive, and it is impossible to achieve mass production. At present, there are only about 20 people coming with the battleship, Liang Hao doesn't know where to get a set of mechas, he didn't come with him just now, this will be estimated to be in the mecha troops.
Soon after, two or three large cloth bags were carried into the tent, which Ling Lin had sent over.
"It's a new type of combat weapon that can be implanted in the human body and has the ability to fly." She and Luo Yu held a bag and took out the rune creations made of energy crystals inside.
Suddenly, the entire tent was shrouded in strange light, and Liu Shuang and the others looked curiously at these strange items on the ground.
"These things have flight capabilities?" Liu Shuang looked a little unconvinced.
At present, the most advanced flying device is the anti-gravity system, which is basically a mecha-like shape, and Liu Shuang is the first time to see such an energy crystal, and he can't help but be a little puzzled.
"Don't worry, Team Liu, look at ......" Ling Lin stood up, "brushed" the ground, a pair of huge ice and snow wings stretched out, and the hurricane blew open the sleeves of the people present.
"Get ready, bring it to the soldiers who are fighting. The total number is sixty-nine, Team Liu, you pick a part of the elite soldiers, and we will make a combat deployment. ”
