Chapter 025. communication
A strong smell of blood has filled the air in front of the door with the open door of the supermarket, Sofitel's face changed slightly, he gently sniffed the air that already had an obvious smell of blood, but his face couldn't help but change. At that time, he had already determined that F Company had abandoned all its heavy equipment and left the small city, but how could more than 20 corpses of F Company soldiers be found in this supermarket, which was used as a temporary base?
"Is it a soldier from Company F?"
Bunnard's face was not good, and even his previous solemnity was a little untenable. The more than 20 soldiers killed in it were all members of his troops, and as the supreme commander of the 16th Mechanized Brigade, he had to be responsible for these 20 young soldiers. Gritting his teeth slightly, Bunnard first walked into the supermarket, and at the same time turned to Sost: "Arrange the use of flares, and then let the boys inside be placed decently." ”
Nodding slowly, Sofitel handed the backpack to the deputy company commander next to her with a gloomy face, and then quickly followed. Company F is also their allies, and they are all closer in the same unit, and they even have many friends with each other. But now their friends may be lying inside, which is an even worse thing for the entire E-Company.
"Is this the calm before the storm?"
Pursing his somewhat dry mouth, Liszt threw the flare gun to the deputy company commander who was still frowning and his face was extremely solemn. However, he did not turn around and enter the supermarket, took a deep breath, and did not care about the strong smell of blood and the smell of gunpowder caused by the fire of the guns next to him, but just let the smell fill his lungs like smoking the sweetest cigarette, and then exhaled slowly, as if to release all the uneasiness in his heart: "It's ridiculous." He gritted his teeth slowly.
The afterglow of the flare still hung in the sky more than 20 meters away, and the speed of the slow fall was not fast, but it illuminated the distance of hundreds of meters around it as real as day. Liszt squinted slightly into the depths of the woods and bushes, and the faint deathclaws seemed to know that the area was heavily guarded, and there was no movement for a while. Only an M249 light machine gun a few meters away was still firing tentatively, and three continuous bursts of fire sent a splash of wood chips from the bushes and groves.
But this kind of aimless long burst shot is more of a deterrent, and it is also a catharsis of one's own fear. And for the group of deathclaws that have been deliberately left by scientists with a hunting instinct, this kind of shooting is like a joke. A sturdy physique, a tenacious deathclaw, let alone this kind of 5. 56mm light machine gun bullets, as long as they are not critical, even if they are hit a few rounds 12. The bullets of the 7mm large-caliber heavy machine gun can also be fully withheld!
"Sir, I've taken out all the flares, and this is your backpack."
Just as Liszt was deep in thought, the deputy company commander next to him had already taken out all the flares from his backpack, and at the same time handed the flare gun to a soldier who was usually very cautious. However, instead of continuing to use flares, he ordered all the soldiers to gather the tactical flashlights in their hands to form dazzling pillars of light, scanning the open space around the supermarket to reduce the frequency of flares. At the same time, he handed the backpack back to Liszt, and said very gratefully: "These flares, thank you so much, I really don't know how we should face those damn monsters at night without this thing." ”
"They're not that difficult to deal with, and the high density of firepower can also make them a pile of minced meat, all flesh and blood life, at least we can crush them with technology."
Reaching out to take the backpack handed over, Liszt took out two energy bars, threw one to the deputy company commander, and opened the package and stuffed it into his mouth three times five by two. After a period of running here, his physical strength has gradually reached a critical point, and this kind of energy bar specially made with a bitter taste Although the taste is very poor, it can quickly recover his physical strength, and it is also a must-have for army logistics. Swallowing all the residues in his mouth in one gulp, the bitter taste made Liszt's eyebrows wrinkle together, and he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "This thing is as unpalatable as a dog." But he also smiled: "Of course I haven't eaten dog shi, and I don't know what it tastes like." ”
In the face of Liszt's joke, several soldiers who were carefully guarding next to them heard it, and they couldn't help laughing, but looking at the eyes of the deputy company commander who was not good at laughing, they also quickly refocused their eyes on the area swept by the tactical flashlight, with a cautious look. But their actions added a bit of embarrassment, so that the more old-fashioned deputy company commander quickly explained: "Hmm... This is also because it is necessary to avoid eating the energy bar as a snack during non-combat hours because it is too tasty, after all, it is a requirement of the U.S. federal manufacturer. ”
"Mr. Liszt, General Bunard and Company Commander Sost need you to come over."
While the two were still chatting, a soldier pushed open the door and walked out, and when he saw Liszt, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, as if he was facing his superiors, and quickly reported: "General Bunard seems to have discovered something, I hope you can go over and discuss." And after his order was delivered, looking at Liszt's eyes with a bright light, he said eagerly: "Mr. Liszt, this time you can also lead us out of trouble, can't you?" ”
"Perhaps."
Touching his nose slightly, Liszt suddenly had a feeling of returning to his company. The recruits he led looked at him with longing in the face of thousands of Mexican guerrillas. But Liszt slowly looked away, and only said comfortingly: "It depends on the efforts of all of us. He slowly pushed open the door and walked in, remembering the face of the recruit as he died of pain with his eyes open, and despite his best efforts, he still couldn't save him from life.
Pushing open the glass door of the supermarket, most of the corpses on the middle shelves had been sorted out, and there were still many soldiers of E Company carrying the corpses with sad faces. Or rather, a bunch of stumps wrapped in a cloth, the group of corpses seemed to have been simply spliced together, but when they continued to carry them, the blood and internal organs mixed together, the sticky appearance and the strong smell of blood made the whole supermarket as terrifying as a slaughterhouse.
Liszt held his breath slightly, the strong smell of blood still made him a little uncomfortable, especially since countless human stumps were on the ground, so he couldn't help but look in other directions. This is the instinct of human beings, and when we see the mutilated corpses of our kind, we can't help but feel sad and fearful. However, the surrounding army soldiers were similar, they were all lying on the window with the M4A1 assault rifle in their hands and carefully guarding, even the soldiers carrying the corpses were looking in other directions, trying not to look at the poor fallen comrades.
Of course, he also saw the faces of old Bunard and Sofitel Tieqing, Liszt's brows furrowed slightly, but the uneasiness in his heart rose more and more. Liszt walked over, old Bunard didn't say much nonsense, and directly handed him a piece of white paper with a series of characters written on it, and at the same time stared at him and wanted to scold something, but he was also forcibly pressed down by himself, and just said in a hoarse voice: "This is the message left to me by my deputy brigade commander." ”
"Information?"
A few sentences were written hastily on the white paper, and it can be seen that the writer seemed to be quite urgent at the time, and even some spelling phrases were abbreviated. But Liszt couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, he looked carefully at the phrase left on it, and the uneasiness in his heart seemed to be about to plunge his head into chaos, and he raised his head to look at old Bunnard, and said slowly: "This is why you left the headquarters?" ”
The above probably means that the Federal Command issued an urgent notice asking the elder Bunar to go half a block away to hand over to the commander of the Army's 9th Mechanized Infantry Division and the 1st Combat Brigade who had entered the city before. However, after the elder Bunard left, the Federal Command actually asked the deputy brigade commander to take over the command, give up all heavy weapons and equipment, and immediately lead the entire army out of the city. It was precisely because of this order that the suspicion of the deputy brigade commander was aroused, but in a hurry he could only leave a message here, as well as the deathclaw attack encountered during the retreat, and the bodies of the fallen were temporarily placed here, waiting for the opportunity to be reburied later.
"It's not that simple."
Slowly bowing his head, Liszt looked at the words left on the blank paper, and looked back and forth several times before raising his head to look at old Bunnard. The old general also had a blue face, and under his gray hair, his eagle-like eyes were staring at the white paper, and his fists were already clenched tightly, obviously suppressing extremely intense anger in his heart.
Old Bunnard's anger did not erupt directly, because a small activation symbol suddenly appeared on the instrument placed next to him. At the same time, with a slight vibration, a rhythmic crisp sound was released. The captain of the soldier who had been following the old Bunal next to him was slightly stunned, and then looked at the old Bunard and Sofitel with wide eyes, and said in surprise: "Is this the communication restored?" ”
PS: Today's update is a little late, I didn't expect the second update to drag on for so long, I'm really sorry. Tomorrow seems to be trying to try four watches, but I don't think it's likely... Ahem, someone actually voted for 12,000, it's really greedy... But when you see this, you will also find that my book is different from the real radiation pre-war world, and I will explain it here, after all, it is a novel, and it involves a lot of sensitive places, so it's good for everyone to make up the Soviet Union is China. And the Battle of the Volga that appeared later, cough cough, should be regarded as a matter of the Yangtze River Campaign. By the way, I also set the pre-war worldview to be similar to now, not that the pre-Fallout world that changed after World War II is exactly the same, in fact, there is not much difference, and it is easier to accept writing now. I'll open a single chapter another day.,Let's talk about the difference in this book in detail~After all, it's a novel~.
