XXXXI
The words are divided into two ends, when Wang Qiang is entrenched in the plain of the tree, Hu Kaiqing led the defeated people to return to the Xiacheng base safely, and used several days of inventory and repair to get the result of this Kaixian battle.
At the time of the expedition, a total of more than 2,300 people were dispatched to Xiacheng, bringing some weapons and equipment, and after the first battle of Kaixian, only 1,200 people were returned, and the battle losses exceeded nearly 50 percent! Although more than half of them were voluntary explorers of the living quarters, the losses were devastating in terms of the total population.
On the opposite side of the combat force, there were 200 people in the elite city defense team on the first line of defense belonging to Lin Er, and not a single survivor had returned so far.
Only a few of the 50 technical troops deployed in the second line of defense escaped, and all of their baggage weapons were lost.
The 400 people of the exploration brigade under Hu Kaiqing lost almost 150 people, most of whom were martyrs who voluntarily died when they were in the palace.
And the only one that has been preserved intact is the mixed formation of 100 people who are responsible for sand boats and logistics, and these guys immediately slipped away when they saw that the situation was wrong, and returned to the Xiacheng base with all their beards and tails.
Let's take a look at the results obtained this time: there are more than 1,000 guns of various types, most of which are dual-purpose weapons for infantry and aircraft; 1.2 million rounds of bullets; two weapons production lines and five ammunition production lines; In addition, there are 200 explosive weapons of various types and a number of baggage equipment.
After sorting out the list, it seems somewhat unworthwhile to lose the lives of more than 1,000 people and the family funds accumulated over the years in Xiacheng in exchange for such weapons and equipment.
Lin He organized an expanded meeting at the Xiacheng base, and the city defense team and the exploration team were all at the rank of captain or above.
Looking at the lack of more than half of the familiar faces in front of him, Lin He, the controller of the lower city, was full of emotion, this battle was really unwise, how many elites in the lower city were buried in the mouth, it was really a big injury. Even if you get some weapons and equipment back, how much point does it make?
The most regrettable loss in this battle was the Lin Ersuo Department of the city defense team. In this way, the elite troops have always been the most outstanding soldiers and horses in Xiacheng, and no matter how difficult the period is, they are all fed, and they are all buried, and Lin Da beat his chest many times.
Besides, his younger brother Lin Hu has not heard from him, and he is so unintentional about surviving in the wild, it seems that he is more than lucky.
Lin He couldn't figure out how that elite army, even if it was surrounded by tens of thousands of zombies, could retreat with the help of excellent firepower and skillful cooperation, what caused its entire army to be annihilated? Could it be that there is some other conspiracy?
Lin He put his mind on Hu Kaiqing, during this time, Hu Kai cleared the inventory of materials and rectified the team, and his only energy was on investigating the cause of his son's death.
Finally from the mouth of the personnel of the Exploration Independent Brigade who cooperated with his son stationed at the pass, Hu Kaiqing got some special news, before Hu Xiao's death, it seemed that something that should not have happened, and Wang Qiang's name quietly surfaced.
Wang Qiang, this kid doesn't seem to have come back, and he probably won't come back. Lin He thought.
"Everyone follow, after this mountain, we will set foot on the national highway line, and the national highway line in front of us is cleared by us, and it leads directly to the settlement!" Wang Qiang shouted loudly, cheering everyone around him.
A large group of frail people who were hobbling around him responded to his call weakly, and the sparse cheers seemed to be.
Such a group of people who have been starving for many years are very weak, and it is a sign of great willpower to be able to walk such a long distance. Now it is only at the end of the tree, Wang Qiang believes that if he walks for another day or two, the team will completely collapse.
During the migration, more than a dozen people lost their lives due to the sudden attack of zombies; A few others went missing halfway, perhaps straggled, or something else; There were also a few elderly people who could not bear the torture of migration and died suddenly on the road.
Lin Er frowned, with this group of women, children, old and young, the marching speed of the team was extremely slow, sometimes they could only walk one or twenty miles a day, and the one-way journey was less than ninety kilometers, and they walked for a full week! This made Lin Er completely unacceptable.
Finally stepped on the national highway line, which was only five kilometers away from the Xiacheng settlement, within the territory of Xiacheng, Lin Er couldn't bear it anymore, and pulled Wang Qiang to explain: "You take them to follow first, and I'll take a few brothers back to Xiacheng to explore first." We were defeated in the battle of Kaixian, and on the way to escape, we lost contact with the troops behind the palace, and we were delayed for a week along the way, so I was afraid that something would happen to the settlement. ”
Wang Qiang heard what Lin Eryi said, and thought that this rude-looking and fierce military man was really a thoughtful person, so he nodded and responded to the errand.
Lin Er hurriedly grabbed a few cronies and hurried to the lower city. Lin Er was actually very annoyed, when he was in the Tree Plain, the few air cushion motorcycles he gave up under the tree were directly destroyed, and he didn't know if it was Jiang Haohan's people or Fang Zhong's people who did good deeds.
Without a means of transportation, there is no way to rush back to the settlement in advance, and to separate one or two people to walk alone in the wilderness, the degree of danger is too great, and I have to follow this group of women and confucianism to hurry together, otherwise I would have flown back to the lower city long ago.
Thinking of the great rout in the battle, Lin Er's heart couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, he always had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.
said that Lin Er led people away, and Wang Qiang continued to lead everyone to the settlement. Because the destination was in front of them, everyone cheered up, used their last strength, followed Wang Qiang, and went straight to the city. Finally, after spending two hours, we arrived in the lower city.
No, as soon as he arrived outside the lower city, Wang Qiang saw an amazing scene.
I saw Hu Kaiqing holding a long knife and confronting Lin Er, and there were several corpses lying on the ground, all of which were the cronies brought back by Lin Er.
Lin Er was covered in blood, one arm couldn't be lifted, it seemed to be broken, and the other arm was holding a rifle, and the sharp knife at the head of the gun was pointed directly at Hu Kaiqing. The outer part of the wilderness was full of people, all of whom were members of the exploration team, and the entrance to the Lower City settlement had been blocked, apparently in case someone came out of the Lower City to put out the fire.
Lin Er was not Hu Kaiqing's opponent in terms of combat strength, not to mention that after many days of trekking, his body was exhausted, and he was quickly defeated after a fight.
However, it was obvious that Hu Kaiqing didn't want to kill Lin Er immediately, but he had a bit of a joking taste, leaving Lin Er with several big wounds between horizontal and vertical chops.
Wang Qiang saw that Daddy Hu was going to kill Lin Er, so he hurriedly rushed over, shouting in his mouth, Daddy was merciful.
Hu Kaiqing's long knife trembled slightly, turned to look at Wang Qiang, and showed a cruel smile: "Okay, okay, Qiang Wazi, I originally thought you were dead, and I didn't want God to have eyes and let you still be alive." Very well, then I'll send you to your parents first! ”
After speaking, Hu Kaiqing actually abandoned the injured Lin Er, picked up the knife and ran to Wang Qiang.
Wang Qiang was stunned, he didn't know why Daddy Hu was so violent and wanted to kill himself. But the long knife had already slashed, and he couldn't afford to be stunned. Wang Qiang jumped back one after another, Hu Kaiqing followed with a slash in the air, and Wang Qiang skillfully avoided it with his flexible body.
If it weren't for a vicious battle with Scarface a few days ago, Wang Qiang might not have been able to dodge Daddy Hu's three-knife combo. But after experiencing the fight with Scar, Wang Qiang has a higher level of understanding of hand-to-hand combat, coupled with the continuous pondering and practice these days, Wang Qiang's attainments in fighting have made a qualitative leap.
Therefore, Wang Qiang successfully avoided Daddy Hu's continuous knife slashing skills.
Hu Kaiqing's long knife draws circles like a compass, and every bracket of the arc hits Wang Qiang, and Wang Qiang is like a fallen leaf in the wind, fluttering and sprinkling always without touching the knife. Hu Kaiqing was surprised again and again in his heart, when did this Wang Qiang practice such a strange body and technical skills.
Hu Kaiqing's set of knife skills is very famous, when he was young, Hu Kaiqing studied under the holy land of Zen Buddhism, and only by chance did he learn this crazy magic knife technique. After years of war and turmoil, struggling to survive in the last days, Hu Kaiqing's knife technique has been tested for a long time. Unexpectedly, I played a whole game in front of Wang Qiang today, but I didn't even touch a single hair of Wang Qiang.
Hu Kaiqing was furious, and after slashing with one blow, he put away his knife, looked at Wang Qiang and scolded angrily: "Wang Qiang, I taught you in vain, but you killed my son in turn, this hatred between you and me will never die." ”
Wang Qiang tossed and turned in mid-air for a while, and finally saw a gap, and finally stopped to catch his breath.
It was really dangerous and dangerous just now, Daddy Hu had a murderous intent with every knife, and the knife was fatal, if he continued to dodge like this, he couldn't figure out when he would be killed by a knife next.
When Wang Qiang heard Hu Kaiqing accuse him of killing Hu Xiao, he was very aggrieved and hurriedly retorted. Wang Qiang recounted what happened that day, and Hu Xiao's death was also clearly stated.
Hu Kaiqing was silent for a while after hearing this, and Wang Qiangyi said, combined with his son's behavior, Hu Xiao may have done these things, if this is the case, then Hu Xiao's death is to blame.
In fact, Hu Kaiqing has always been unable to understand what Wang Qiang's motive is for killing, Wang Qiang has worked in his own hands for several years, and he has the grace of protection even if he has no promotion, he doesn't believe that Wang Qiang will kill Hu Xiao for no reason.
Anyone can think about these questions in minutes, but now Hu Kaiqing cares about his son's death and forgets the right and wrong of the matter itself.
Hu Kaiqing took a deep breath, looked at Wang Qiang, and shook his long knife: "Since this is the case, then although my son's death was not directly caused by you, it has nothing to do with you." Come on, you choose a weapon for yourself, take me ten moves, and reveal all the life and death in one fell swoop. If you don't die, the kindness that I have shown to you in the past will be written off, and if you die, I will add a stick of incense to your parents' graves on your behalf today next year. ”
Wang Qiang's heart trembled when he heard what Father Hu said.
In the settlement, Hu Kaiqing is the pillar of the house, in Wang Qiang's heart, his father is a god-like figure, let himself dodge, he still has the courage, but if he wants to use a knife against his father, Wang Qiang is not psychologically prepared.
At this time, Jiang Yun, who arrived, saw that Wang Qiang was caught in an inexplicable battle, and he wanted to help but couldn't help, so he was in a hurry. And Jiang Haohan, who led the people to follow, saw this battle, and his heart was bitter, this lower city settlement is not a pure land.
On the top of the hill not far away, no one in the lower city could see the place, and a few hidden eyes were watching everything that happened under the mountain.
After a long time, one of them explained: "Tan Wu, you quickly go back and tell Brother Zhong that the lair of the gang that attacked us has been found." ”
