Chapter 138: Taking over the outpost
In less than five minutes, all the enemies who had stormed the hangar were eliminated.
"Don't let any of them go, don't take prisoners." Yang Yi gave Jackson some instructions, and then called Lin Feng, No. 1 and No. 11 to walk towards Zheng Xiaolong.
At this time, Zheng Xiaolong was looking at Yang Yi and the others in a daze.
They were indeed soldiers, especially in speed and strength, far above ordinary soldiers. But what made Zheng Xiaolong feel unbelievable was that in the battle with the enemy, in addition to hand-to-hand combat, they actually used firearms and other weapons that soldiers didn't need at all, just like ordinary soldiers.
Do soldiers need to use electromagnetic guns!?
Although he is not a soldier, Zheng Xiaolong has heard others mention that a soldier is an extremely powerful existence, and there is no need to use ordinary weapons at all. Even if the soldiers need weapons, it is also the legendary "God of War Armament", that is, weapons and equipment specially developed for soldiers to enhance their combat power.
Are they soldiers?
Looking at Yang Yi and the others who came over, Zheng Xiaolong felt that everything was messed up.
These people not only carried a firearm similar to an electromagnetic gun on their chests, but also wore uniform combat uniforms, and on their backs was a kind of individual equipment similar to a marching backpack.
They were dressed like ordinary soldiers in the Marine Corps.
"Who's the commander here?"
Zheng Xiaolong glanced at Yang Yi, who was asking, and turned his gaze to Lin Feng, who was following Yang Yi.
It was Lin Feng who started to rescue Zheng Xiaolong, and Lin Feng was a colonel officer, and Yang Yi only had a captain's epaulette on his shoulder.
"I want to see your Supreme Commander." Yang Yi said again.
Zheng Xiaolong glanced at him, then stood up and saluted Lin Feng. Anyway, Lin Feng is a colonel, and Zheng Xiaolong is just a major.
At this time, Yang Yi understood, and Lin Feng also understood.
"Major, I'm Colonel Lin Feng of the Special Investigation Brigade, and this is Captain Yang Yi." Lin Feng stepped forward and said with a smile, "He is the commander of this operation. ”
Zheng Xiaolong was slightly stunned, looked at Lin Feng, and then looked at Yang Yi.
What surprised him was not just what Lin Feng said, that is, it was a captain who commanded the operation, but that Lin Feng's current outfit did not look like a person from the special investigation team at all. In the third war zone, no one knows Lin Feng. Although he hadn't seen Lin Feng, Zheng Xiaolong had heard of it a long time ago. Like other officers and soldiers, in his understanding, Lin Feng is the kind of existence that is unattainable, and it has nothing to do with his current appearance at all.
The woman in front of her is the legendary "Fire Phoenix Talented Girl"?
"Major, I know you have a lot of questions, it's just that now is not the time, I want to see the Supreme Commander here."
Although he was dressed strangely, he was indeed a colonel officer, and he was very beautiful, exactly like the rumors. Zheng Xiaolong swallowed his saliva, and then said to Yang Yi: "I am the supreme commander here, Major Zheng Xiaolong of the No. 7777828 Supervision and Investigation Post Service Detachment. ”
Yang Yi was slightly stunned, and looked at Zheng Xiaolong in disbelief.
"Major, where is Colonel Qin Qiuming?" Lin Feng asked.
"Killed." Zheng Xiaolong sighed and said, "Four days ago, the day after the enemy attacked, the colonel led the marines to launch a counterattack. The battle was fierce, but there was not a single bastard. and Lieutenant Colonel Zhan Yufei, Lieutenant Colonel Jiang Jingming and Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Buyan were all killed. Now, I am the Supreme Commander here. If you're a few minutes late, I'm afraid it's not me. ”
Lin Feng sighed secretly and looked at Yang Yi.
"Let's go to the command center and let your men stay and clean up the battlefield. From now on, the post is taken over by us. Is there a problem? ”
Zheng Xiaolong shook his head, although Yang Yi was only a captain, his authority was above him.
Let No. 1 and No. 11 stay to assist Jackson and the others, and Yang Yi and Lin Fengcai followed Zheng Xiaolong out of the hangar.
The post was large, and the command center was at the front. Along the way, Yang Yi noticed that the damage inside the outpost was not serious, indicating that the enemy did not attack the outpost.
Soon, the three of them came to the command center.
It is said that it is the command center, but it is actually the commander bridge of this S-class battleship. Only at this time, there was no one inside. Before Yang Yi and the others arrived, Zheng Xiaolong mobilized all the officers and soldiers who could fight. If the hangar is lost, then the command center cannot be held either.
After a while, Yang Yi figured out the situation.
Before the enemy attacked, there were 1,238 officers and men at the outpost, 18 officers and men from six squads were out, and 1,220 officers and men remained at the outpost. After five days of fierce fighting, there were only one hundred and twenty-two officers and soldiers left who could still fight, and that was before Yang Yi and the others arrived. After the battle that began, I'm afraid there are less than fifty people left to fight. More than 800 officers and men were killed, and only a few were lucky enough to be rescued, but all of them were seriously wounded and incapacitated. Because the wounded are mainly disabled, even if Yang Yi and the others have enough genetic medicines, they can't play much role.
"According to you, the enemy did not directly destroy the outpost, but constantly launched attacks with the aim of capturing the outpost?"
"There is no other explanation." Zheng Xiaolong pursed his lips and said, "On the first day, the enemy destroyed the main defensive fire of the outpost, and then launched an attack. In order to hold the hangar, Colonel Qin Qiuming led the marines to launch a counterattack. Although the enemy's attacking troops were repulsed, hundreds of Marine officers and men, including Colonel Qin Qiuming, were killed. After that, the enemy launched several attacks a day, but never used destructive force and did not attack other parts of the post. If the enemy's aim had not been to capture the outpost, the battle would have ended long ago. Without defensive firepower, without a sufficiently strong energy barrier, a single bombardment can destroy a post. ”
Yang Yi nodded slightly and looked at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng frowned, and his expression was very puzzled.
It is undeniable that Outpost 828 has a high strategic value, but it is only for the Human Federation. From the standpoint of the Silicon Alliance, the only value of Outpost 828 is to be destroyed. Quite simply, Outpost 828 is south of the Greenwich Meteorite Belt. If the Silicon Alliance launches an attack and crosses the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, it will need to capture the forward base, and a small base like Outpost 828 will not make the slightest sense.
From a military point of view, the Silicon Alliance should directly destroy Outpost 828.
Instead of destroying Post 828, they sent heavy troops to attack Post 828 with the intention of occupying Post 828, and there must have been other reasons.
"Major, was there anything unusual before that?"
"Anomaly?" Zheng Xiaolong looked at Lin Feng incomprehensibly.
"Obviously, if the Silicon Charm Alliance starts a war, there is no reason to capture the outpost at all, it should directly destroy the outpost, and it is impossible to invest so many troops for this outpost." Lin Feng paused slightly, and then said, "The enemy has repeatedly attacked, obviously not to occupy the outpost, which has little value to the enemy, but for something else, such as the outpost has something that the enemy wants. ”
"This ......"
"Think about it, before that, is it ......"
"Wait......" Zheng Xiaolong pressed his hand and said, "I remember, it's true." ”
Lin Feng was slightly stunned, and Yang Yi also frowned.
"A week ago, one of our field teams discovered a large celestial body being overrun by a silicon beast during their daily rounds, and subsequently called for reinforcements."
"Reinforcements?"
Zheng Xiaolong nodded and said, "Although according to the regulations, if the celestial body is invaded by the silicon beast and becomes a beast's den, it should be destroyed directly for the sake of safety, but after receiving the news, Colonel Qin Qiuming sent the marines over. I didn't participate in that operation, but I heard that the Marines had eliminated the wild silicones that had encroached on the celestial bodies and recovered the celestial bodies. Shortly thereafter, about two days later, the post was attacked. ”
"Just recovering the celestial bodies?"
"The Marine Corps is not a garrison force, and Colonel Qin Qiuming is only giving orders to the Marine Corps." Zheng Xiaolong sighed. "Except for reporting combat operations, the Marine Corps is not accountable to Colonel Qin Qiuming. Among other things, here the marines have a separate area of stationing. ”
"Take us there."
"This ......"
"Major, do you think it's a coincidence that the outpost was attacked?"
Zheng Xiaolong gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, come with me." ”
It's not strange that the Greenwich Meteorite Belt has been invaded by wild silicones, but it is strange that the recovery of a wild silicone has been attacked by the Silicon Alliance. Apparently, the Marines not only recovered the celestial body, but also made other discoveries, and brought them back. For this reason, the Silicon Charm Alliance launched an attack, and also intended to capture the outpost instead of directly destroying it.
The Marine Corps is the main force, and it is under the dual leadership of the military department and the theater command, and its status is above that of the garrison. Although only a squadron of 100 men was stationed at Post 828, the area allocated to the Marines accounted for a quarter of the post and was completely independent. In Zheng Xiaolong's words, officers and soldiers of the garrison do not have the right to enter the area of the Marine Corps, and even he must first apply for approval.
"We've never been here, not even in the past few days."
"Where is the warehouse where the Marines store their supplies?"
"Ahead, I'll take you there." Zheng Xiaolong is an officer in charge of logistics, and he knows the post well, although he has not been to the area where the Marines are stationed, but he is also very clear about the situation here. In fact, Zheng Xiaolong is one of the few officers who regularly comes here. Quite simply, the logistics support of the Marine Corps is also provided by the garrison, so Zheng Xiaolong often comes here to hand over supplies to the Marine Corps.
Not far away, Yang Yi suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you feel it?"
Lin Feng was slightly stunned, then nodded.
"Right ahead, I ...... You ......"
"Don't make a sound." Lin Feng glared at Zheng Xiaolong.
Noticing Lin Feng and Yang Yi's expressions, Zheng Xiaolong's heart tightened, and he immediately raised his vigilance. They are soldiers, and their ability to perceive danger is far higher than that of ordinary soldiers, and their expressions indicate that danger is nearby.
