Chapter 023. Sudden fear

Only the rabble panicked because of the death of the commander. Because of the existence of the military system, the impact on the death of commanders is minimized. As long as there are officers in the system, the existing troops will still play their due combat effectiveness according to the usual and rigorous training methods.

This is the strongest point in modern warfare, which does not rely on the merits of weapons, numbers, and tactics, but on a strong and comprehensive combat system. This is because this is the most efficient, direct, and powerful war system that has been studied in a peaceful era and a unified country with decades or even a hundred years of war theory!

For all this, Liszt was even more touched. Just by comparing the two games, Call of Duty and Fallout, you can see what this so-called system is all about. And even in the wasteland of "Fallout", the group of power armor that can be called humanoid tanks, most of them can only be called a rabble, they only know how to rush up and hit hard, there is almost no tactics and strategy to speak of, compared to the systematic collision of the United States and the Soviet Union before "Fallout", it is simply heaven and earth.

Turning his head slightly, he looked at the more and more U.S. Army soldiers gathering in the bushes, and Liszt knew in his heart that they were all soldiers of Company E. Standing out from the hideout was more of a deterrent, because they also didn't know Liszt's identity, and just a Winchester and a civilian outfit didn't allow them to judge anything effectively.

"The supermarket seems to have undergone a simple war-ready layout."

Despite the dim light, the general outline of the supermarket is still largely visible. Especially looking at the sandbags that had covered most of the entire glass wall, as well as the various shooting positions that had been specially set aside, Sofitel couldn't help but nod and praise: "A temporary stronghold? It's pretty standard. ”

"Of course, this is standard, if even the temporary headquarters is not built standard, then our 16th Mechanized Brigade, I'm afraid it's time to revoke the number."

A slightly hoarse voice came from the supermarket, but Sofitel, who was still next to Liszt, was stunned for a moment, the glass door of the supermarket was slowly pushed open, and old Bunnard walked out directly, with seriousness and gloom on his face, especially when he stared at Sofitel's face with surprise, but showed a smile: "Can I trust you now?" Sofitel! ”

"General Buenard, Commander Sofitel of Company E is a pleasure to meet you!"

Sofitel said anything superfluous, and he just straightened up and saluted the elder Bunard crisply, as he usually did in training. And his face was also extremely serious and serious, and he reported loudly: "E Company, always listen to your orders!" ”

In the same way, this is undoubtedly the answer to the old Bunnard's question, and it is also the best interpretation of the question in the old Bunnard's heart. It was a way of answering between soldiers, and the elder Bunard also liked this strong way of answering. He also stood still, and the look of the commander of the 16th Mechanized Brigade was restored to him, and Old Bunar smiled and nodded, "Very good." ”

"General Bunnard, but my E Company... Now there are less than two platoons. ”

But Sofitel's words made the smile on the old Bunnard's face disappear again, he looked at the somewhat embarrassed old face in front of him, Sofitel hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and said: "I also arrived in this city and found out, the entire 16th Mechanized Brigade was ordered to withdraw from the city by the Federal Command, leaving only these more than seventy people waiting here." ”

"More than seventy? Although it is a little regrettable, at least it is expected, at least better than just the five of us. ”

Nodding slowly, Old Bunard showed a reluctant smile, the troops of more than seventy people can fully form combat effectiveness. If you encounter that kind of terrifying monster, you will not be slaughtered sadly like a chicken. Thinking of that terrifying monster, he couldn't help but raise his head and frown at Sofitel and said, "You also encountered that terrifying monster?" ”

The deathclaws, which were still being studied in the laboratory before the war, were undoubtedly terrifying monsters to this group of ordinary people. Especially with their demonic appearance, sharp claws and sharp teeth, and terrifying speed and strength, even the demons who escaped from hell are believed to be!

"I encountered two, three were killed and six were seriously injured." The impression of the death claw was also quite deep in Sofitel's mind, he couldn't help but grit his teeth slowly, and said to Old Bunar with some seriousness: "General, that creature is really quite terrifying, if there are no heavy weapons, I think it would be best for us to disperse and evacuate with the help of terrain when we encounter them." ”

Li Sty next to him nodded, he still quite agreed with Sofitel's statement. As a biological weapon, deathclaws can already be said to be very good. With a height of more than two meters, strong vitality, rapid speed, and explosive power, it will be a deadly threat to ordinary human soldiers. Especially for their sturdy physique, small-caliber rifles can't form too lethal attacks at all, which increases the attack intensity of this creature!

But deathclaws were not invincible to Liszt. Gently lifting the Winchester M1887 shotgun in his hand, Liszt patted the old antique in his hand and smiled at Sofitel: "We have encountered that kind of thing before, of course, as long as we master the method, it is not very difficult to kill them." And he shrugged slightly: "It's like the two I killed before." ”

"This... Seriously, sir, it's a good thing to be an imaginary civilian, but I don't think you understand how frightening the creature I'm talking about. ”

Sofitel's brow furrowed, he knew how helpless it was to fight that creature with the flesh and blood of a human being. And even if it was his group of highly trained professional soldiers, the terrifying monsters that appeared in the darkness at that moment were as helpless as chicks facing wild wolves. Slowly calming down the emotions in his heart, he looked at old Bunnard and said, "General Bunaar, I think we must get out of this area as soon as possible, the impact of no light on us is too great!" ”

"No, Sofitel, what Liszt said is true." Smiling slightly, old Bunard's face was a little proud, as if his soldiers had won the best marksman. He coughed lightly and nodded to Sophie, "Mr. Liszt on the battlefield in Mexico, I think you should know. ”

"Mr. Liszt on the battlefield in Mexico?"

Hearing Old Bunnard's words, Sofitel couldn't help frowning, but then his eyes instantly widened, and he looked at Liszt next to him in a daze. Especially after carefully looking at his ordinary appearance, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva slowly, and blurted out in disbelief: "Butcher of Heaven?!" Impossible, how can it be so ordinary..."

Who doesn't know the Butcher of Heaven on the battlefield of Mexico? Even the rookies who have just entered the barracks, when they have not yet received military training, when the old guys are chatting at night, they will use that adoring tone and gaze to tell the little rookies about the heroic deeds of the Butcher of Heaven. And they will also add fuel to their imagination and change that reputation to be as great as the hero they think of in their hearts. For Sofitel, he also put that name in his imagination, plated with a glittering gold coat.

But he obviously also realized the mistake in his words, and subconsciously coughed, and he immediately used other words to cover up his obsolescence just now: "I'm sorry, the impact on me today is too great, I don't even know if what I'm standing on now is not the territory of the United States Federation..."

"It's okay, you're not the first person to say that to me."

Liszt smiled, looking at the army soldiers still standing in the bushes in the distance, and the uneasiness in his heart rose more and more at some point. Pursing his lips, he had always believed that he had saved himself from more than one uneasiness in his heart, and immediately turned his head to old Bunal and said, "General Bunard, the advice of the Sofitel company commander is correct, we must leave this area quickly." ”

But just as General Bunard wanted to say something, a continuous crisp sound instantly sounded in the depths of the woods, and the faces of old Bunard and Sofitel changed instantly, which was the unique crisp shooting sound of the M4A1 assault rifle! And the army soldiers who had been hiding in the dense bushes and woods also rushed towards them quickly, and at the same time, all of them had a look of horror and anger on their faces.

"It's that kind of monster! Company Commander Sofitel, those monsters are catching up! ”

A soldier quickly ran towards this side, pointed to the woods and bushes in the darkness behind him, and shouted: "I don't know how many there are in the dark, but it seems that there are no less than ten!" He still had a frightened look on his face, and he still couldn't calm himself down in the face of the terrifying creature that came out of the myth like deathclaws, and he tried to draw a cross on his chest, his eyes widened and said, "What is needed here are priests and crusaders, not our soldiers!" ”

The U.S. Army soldiers behind him also rushed over in a chaotic manner, but many of them gritted their teeth and shouted angrily, holding their guns, and shooting aimlessly into the bushes and deep into the woods. But the darkness and fog made their shooting look ridiculous as if they were venting their fears.

"Bang-"

The dull sound of gunfire was different from the crispness of the M4A1 assault rifle, and a huge muzzle flame appeared above Liszt's head, causing the more than seventy US Army soldiers around him to turn their heads to look this way. Simply reloading the Winchester M1887 shotgun in his hand, Liszt glanced at Sofitel and Old Bunard next to him, and then shouted at the group of terrified army soldiers who were as messy as lambs: "Go into the supermarket, look for the shooting position, if you don't want to die!" ”
