Chapter 38 Destruction
"Three generals, the front line came to report, and the ground troops who went to carry out the interception mission lost contact." A staff member took off the headset and said to Bruce and the others.
"Huh? Do you have more information? Bruce asked.
"Bellโ" At that moment, the phone in front of Gaida rang.
Gaida quickly grabbed the phone and put it to his ear, and after listening for about two minutes, Gaida suddenly shouted, "What did you say? Then don't turn me around right away! โ
Dropping the phone back on the table, Gaida explained to Bruce and Rommel, who were already looking at them suspiciously: "The gunship sent back the last footage of the scene before evacuating. โ
As soon as the voice ended, an image appeared on the big screen.
Person.
Everywhere there were people fleeing in panic.
The soldiers, who tried to fight back, were knocked to the ground and trampled into pulp.
As they ran, they began to mutate and join the ranks of the Devouring Soldiers.
Divided and surrounded soldiers often resist for less than a moment before losing their lives.
Seeing this, several helicopter gunships, which still had the remaining ammunition, began to strafe directly at the townspeople, covering the soldiers on the ground.
With the support of the helicopters, the soldiers were given some respite, and the generals who led the group organized the soldiers who could still be summoned to move in the direction where the townspeople were supposed to be transferred.
However, the monsters did not intend to spare these surviving soldiers, but because they gathered together, more monsters attacked them.
Seeing that the situation was not good, a helicopter gunship urgently lowered its altitude to meet the group of soldiers.
When he didn't want to be more than four meters above the ground, four or five monsters rushed out of the oblique stab, and under the fire, they frantically pounced on the helicopter to prevent the pilot from saving everyone on the ground.
One of the monsters grabbed the helicopter landing gear and caused the helicopter to crash, and the other monster jumped up and smashed the glass of the cab, pulling out the people inside with one claw, opening its mouth and biting it.
The remaining monsters climbed onto the helicopter and dragged it down.
The helicopter swirled into the ground, fortunately the altitude was very low, and the people in the gunship did not suffer much impact, but this does not mean that they were lucky, for the people in the helicopter, it may be a relief to die because of the crash.
I saw that the people who survived the crash were caught and devoured by the monsters, and some of them even had their limbs torn apart when they were not out of breath, and they saw that they were swallowing the monster little by little but there was no way, and they only wanted to die quickly in their hearts.
Not only the people in the helicopter, but also the soldiers around the crash site, who were affected, also suffered tragic fate, and for a while, blood was splashed everywhere, and the tragic screams were everywhere.
Seeing the tragic situation of their colleagues, the other gunships no longer dared to force their landings in the monster herd easily, and they were almost running out of ammunition, and the situation they faced next would be very embarrassing. If you stay, you can't fire support, and you don't dare to rescue, but if you leave like this, you will abandon your comrades, and you will never be able to escape the infamy of not saving you when you die.
The rest of the monsters preyed on the old and weak townspeople who had not mutated one by one, and then these monsters began to gather towards the location of the ground soldiers who were still resisting.
When the officer who led the team saw this, he knew that he was probably going to die here today. In such moments, he showed the fearless courage of a true soldier.
"Brothers! It's an honor! I can fight side by side with you! We will give our lives here today! But our sacrifice will defend the safety of our homeland! To be able to prevent our family from experiencing such fears! In the future, our children will be proud of us! So, let's do our duty as a soldier and teach these inhuman brutes a hard lesson! For what I love! โ
"For my love!" The troops, who had been in the hundreds, but now only a few dozen remained, and had been heavily surrounded, shouted their last desperate sounds.
Naturally, everyone in the combat command room could not hear what these soldiers said in the end, nor could they see their expressions, but they could feel their will from their actions.
At the moment when the gunship was silent, monsters poured into the warriors who held on like an island.
Those warriors fought back fiercely in the case of hand-to-hand combat, and at the last moment of their lives, when they were torn apart, they did not forget to pull the grenade and give the monster a fatal blow.
The battle lasted several minutes, fiercer than any previous counterattack.
Bruce, Rommel, and Gaida slowly stood up, took off their hats and placed them on their raised left forearm, staring solemnly at the screen.
Everyone stood up and saw off the heroes.
The screen zooms out, and the helicopter gunships in the air begin to evacuate.
On the ground, demons danced.
"Bang!"
Everyone in the command room looked in the direction where the voice came from, only to see Rommel slam his right fist on the table in front of him, and his face, which was already gloomy, now has more ruthless expressions.
It is no wonder that the unit assigned to carry out the task is considered to be under his command in terms of attribution, and when the official information only says that the troops are missing, the person who called Gaida already knows that the team is completely destroyed.
After a little pondering about the ugliness between these, I can figure it out that the helicopter gunship belongs to Pippen, and Pippen is Gaida's man, so it is not one camp if the two forces of ground and air are strictly divided.
If the situation had been discovered at that time and reported immediately, according to the president's character and Rommel's weight, rescue action would have been taken; But if it is not reported at the first time, Pippen, as the supreme commander of the front, has the right to make decisions on the spot.
When the wood is ready, Pippen reports it and sends the video, and no matter who has any ideas, nothing can change anything. It doesn't even matter how much you talk about it afterwards, after all, the situation is there: really go to the rescue, not to mention how many soldiers can be saved, but the losses of the helicopter gunships are absolutely heavy. Pippen, after "deliberately" weighing, in order to ensure that the defense of the city of Deszin had sufficient air combat power, chose to protect the helicopter gunships.
As for the information reported through official channels, it may have been reported after routine contact with the top commander of the front line to which Rommel belonged, and he found an abnormality, but I am afraid that he still does not know the true situation.
Rommel knew that he was determined to lose this time, even if he went to a military court, with Gaida to protect him, Pippen would be punished at most, so he chose to endure it.
"Damn brute!"
After scolding a pun, Rommel sat back in his seat, not mentioning it at all.
Gaida didn't seem to understand Rommel's scolding, but said in a heavy tone: "It's a pity that such a tragedy happened, but these heroes did not die in vain, they gave us the opportunity to avoid more deaths." I propose that the bombers carry out the bombing operation as soon as they are in position. We can't afford to let the monsters have any more direct contact with our army, and I can't think of any other ground class that can gain an advantage against these monsters right now, other than tanks. โ
Bruce had been silent from the beginning, and it was only at this point, after listening to Gaida's proposal about the battle situation, that he said in a decisive word: "That's it, add two bomber groups at the same time, and give these monsters a devastating blow, I don't want to see any more surprises in this war." โ
No one objected, and after seeing such a terrible scene, it seemed that it would not be too much to use any means to carry out the attack.
The order was quickly conveyed, and while the front-line soldiers retreated to the city of Deszin, another group of bombers in large numbers took off from the airfield and began to assemble with the city of Deszin as its destination.
"The first bombers are already in place and ready to strike at targets." Staff reported.
"What about the evacuation from the front?" Bruce asked.
"The infantry regiment has been completely withdrawn, leaving only tanks to block the road two kilometers west of the city of Deszin, and the two reloaded helicopter gunships have returned here to assist." The staff replied.
"How long will it take for the second batch of bombers to reach the skies over the city of Destin?" Bruce continued to ask the staff.
"It's expected to be about forty-five minutes." The staff replied.
Bruce groaned slightly, calculated in his mind, and ordered again: "Let the first batch of bombers go to the back row of those monsters now, and when they reach the rear of their ranks, they will immediately start carpet bombing from west to east; When the second group of bombers arrives in the city of Deszin, they don't have to stay and continue westward, hitting the monsters head-on as soon as they enter their bombing radius. I want them to form a perfect encirclement and not let go of any monster. โ
"Order the first batch of bombers to go to the monster team and start bombing from west to east, and the second group of bombers from east to west, bombing monsters head-on......" The staff repeated the order, confirmed that it was correct, and conveyed it.
Two teams of bombers unabashedly flew high above the monster.
The loud roar startled tens of thousands of monsters, and countless monsters roared at the bombers, but soon they returned to order.
When the old and new monster groups completely converged, the army of monsters that could not be seen at a glance rushed towards Deszin City with a crushing momentum.
The first bombers thus arrived in offensive positions much earlier.
Without the slightest delay, at the first moment, solid incendiary bombs carrying vengeful fury were dropped from the sky by bombers and smashed into the monster like a meteorite rain.
The ground suddenly turned into a sea of fire, and the incessant flames incinerated every monster that came into contact with it to the slag.
Monsters wail in flames, roll over, and finally scorch the earth.
More monsters sped forward, trying to get rid of the fire demon that was urging them, but their futile actions were only enough to keep them alive for a few dozen more seconds.
The sheer number of monsters reduced to fish in the face of human weapons of mass destruction, this is the first time that Earth's top industrial technology has collided with unknown biotechnology.
Industrial technology wins!
It was only a matter of time before the monsters perished, and when the second group of bombers arrived and completed the encirclement, they would all become turtles in the urn.
In the center of the city, the evacuated citizens of Deszin can hear the continuous sound of explosions coming from a distance, feel the ground tremble slightly, and even clearly see the fiery red sky reflected in the daytime.
This is the real destruction, and what remains in the end is nothing but death.
