Chapter 4: The Destruction of the City
Although the fortress city where Qin Xin is located is already in a very dangerous situation, the military did not announce the current situation of the city because of the fear and despair of the civilians gathered in the fortress, but only notified everyone to evacuate as soon as the train arrived the next day.
Therefore, Qin Xin, who had no idea about the current situation, received a tent and found a corner where no one was in the middle of the task after completing the task of putting the materials he was assigned to.
However, the next morning, a series of artillery roars and the crisp burst of fire characteristic of Type 56 assault rifles woke Qin Xin from his sleep.
What's going on?!
Just as Qin Xin opened the short single hood and looked out suspiciously, Sergeant Li, who had made Qin Xin chew a mouthful of mud yesterday afternoon, appeared on the street again.
"Don't mess around, everyone! It's just a few scattered insects and beasts approaching our city, and our troops are doing a routine clean-up work. Sergeant Li yelled at the top of his voice. If someone dares to gather a crowd to make trouble, military law will deal with it! ”
"Where do you want to go?" Just as Qin Xin put away the tent and packed it on his back, and was about to walk towards the train station, Sergeant Li directly stopped Qin Xin.
"Won't we wait until the train comes and then we'll board and evacuate? I'd like to go to the train station and wait now. Qin Xin looked at Sergeant Li with an innocent expression.
"No, yes, go! The streets near the train station are the main thoroughfares for ammunition delivery, and you used to get in the way of logistical supplies! Seeing that the nearby civilians turned their eyes here, Sergeant Li yelled at Qin Xin, and grabbed his collar and dragged Qin Xin to the corner. Don't stand in the middle of the street! ”
"You're smart, you seem to have sensed something, right?" Seeing that the surrounding civilians didn't pay attention to this anymore, Sergeant Li stared at Qin Xin with bulls'-eyed eyes. "But if you go to the train station now, the rest of the population will notice something, so you'd better stay here honestly for now."
"I hate having my destiny in the hands of others, and I don't like the feeling of helplessness even more. If something happens and something gets messed up, I don't think my thin body will be able to escape. Qin Xin reluctantly glared at Sergeant Li, and said in a low voice.
"Do you think you're Lieutenant Su? You're not a witch, you don't have a choice. You can only give me your fate, and you can only give me your fate. "Sergeant Li looked at Qin Xin indifferently." At least it's the people's army that protects you, and I can guarantee that I'll fight with my life to protect you, so you're going to be honest with me right now. If you dare to go to the train station again, Lao Tzu will shoot you! ”
After saying that, Sergeant Li let go of Qin Xin's collar and went to the nearby neighborhood to maintain order, leaving only Qin Xin, who was sitting on the packed tent and sulking alone
"How's the death squad doing?" The regimental commander standing on the city wall looked into the distance and asked his staff officer without looking back.
It's just that the fingers of the head of the regiment holding the suicide note are constantly twitching.
The so-called death squad tactic is a delaying tactic that countless soldiers have explored at the cost of their lives when there is no witch.
To put it simply, it is to let the soldier ride in front of the vehicle to harass and attack in front of the insect and beast army, and then take the insect and beast army in circles constantly, just like Lieutenant Su Xiaoyue did at that time. Then the artillerymen behind took advantage of this time to keep firing artillery to eliminate the insects and beasts that were brought to the designated position.
When you don't have heavy firepower and lack of strength to delay time, this tactic is indeed a very good choice.
But even if these soldiers as a death squad rode in jeeps and galloped, it was impossible to drive the jeep to the limit on the muddy and potholed roads in the countryside, and a small mistake would cause the car to be destroyed and killed in a sea of insects and beasts.
According to past statistics, the probability of ordinary soldiers going out to delay the attack of insects and beasts is less than one in ten.
But when the regiment commander made up his mind to carry out this almost mortal mission, none of the soldiers were timid, and they all asked for the order to attack, leaving the chance of survival to their comrades.
"According to the report from the outpost, according to the analysis of the movement of the insect beast, there are still two squads of fighters still in action." The Chief of Staff reported after connecting to the observation post.
"Pass the order down, let them come back, they've held out long enough." The head of the regiment forcibly endured the pain in his heart and ordered in a calm tone.
"Report to the sir, they refuse to carry it out." The herald reported with a pained and helpless expression on his face after connecting with the soldiers in the jeep that was speeding away.
Although the Death Squad operations have almost always ended in total annihilation, there is no doubt that this tactic is the most effective for delaying the progress of the Worm Beast army. The decision of these fighters was clear to all present that they intended to trade their lives for the time of the retreat of their comrades-in-arms civilians behind them.
"How long does it take for the train from the direction of Hengyang to arrive?" The regiment commander roared unwillingly.
"One hour and twenty-eight minutes!"
"Report, the soldiers of the third platoon have all been sacrificed, and the vanguard of the insect beast army has appeared in the field of vision!"
"Inform the artillery positions, don't skimp on ammunition, give me cover for the attack!"
"Yes, Captain!!"
Boom, boom, boom!
The artillery was firing faster and faster, and it seemed that the so-called bugs were already approaching the city, so much so that the artillerymen began to fire continuously, regardless of the cooling of the barrels.
In this way, it probably won't be long before the assault rifle should fire.
Qin Xin, who was sitting in the corner, listened to the roar of artillery in his ears and analyzed.
Bang Bang Bang!
Really.
Looking at the high wall, holding all kinds of light and heavy weapons aimed at the soldiers below who were constantly firing and the militia who were temporarily signs, Qin Xin nodded silently.
If the insect beast is really as terrifying as the civilians around it say, then even the surrounding thirty-meter-high city wall will not be able to stop the insect beast for long.
If you want to survive, it's best to sneak around the train station now and get on the train as soon as it arrives, which is theoretically the best chance of survival.
But
Qin Xin glared at him viciously, regardless of the civilians beside him, but he kept staring at his non-commissioned officer Li.
Sergeant Li's expression was serious, in wartime, Sergeant Li did have the right to shoot himself, if Qin Xin dared to sneak to the train station, Sergeant Li would definitely dare to shoot.
Sergeant Li, I curse you for not dying well!
Qin Xin lowered his head and went crazy.
"Big sister." At this moment, the little girl who gave Qin Xin a good person card yesterday appeared in front of Qin Xin. "Are you feeling unwell?"
"Little sister, this coward is shaking with fear, don't disturb her." As soon as Qin Xin wanted to say something, the sister who had been busy with Qin Xin for most of the night yesterday appeared next to Qin Xin again.
"Where's your mother? Why are you here alone? Qin Xin ignored the girl beside him who obviously couldn't get along with him, but reached out and touched the little girl's head.
"My mother helped the PLA uncles deliver ammunition, and she told me to stay here and not move." The little girl raised her head and looked at Qin Xin.
Now that the streets are cordoned off, it's very dangerous to leave such a little girl alone.
Qin Xin thought with a frown.
"I remember the logistics warehouse is near the train station, you go there to find your mother, it's too dangerous here." After Qin Xin finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the elder sister who was looking at him in a hurry. "You can help send this little girl to the train station to find her mother, and don't tell me that you can't do this little thing."
"Hmph, the guy who can't stand up in fear dares to pretend to be a witch, I feel sorry for you." The older girl shook her head, then took the little girl's hand. "Little sister, come with us to find your mother."
"Sister, aren't you leaving?" The little girl who had walked a few steps under the hand of her sisters suddenly turned her head to look at Qin Xin.
"Because I have something else to do." After finishing speaking, Qin Xin stood up and stood in front of Sergeant Li, and watched the three people disappear at the end of the street.
"What do you mean, little girl Qin?" Qin Xin, who was pulled into the corner again, was forced to ask by Sergeant Li.
"I want her to live, that's all." Qin Xin looked at Sergeant Li indifferently.
"Don't do anything superfluous." Sergeant Li looked at Qin Xin angrily.
"You're doing superfluous things, so many people are staying in the city so far from the train station, it will be a waste of time to evacuate for a while." Qin Xin looked at Sergeant Li with disdain.
"You don't understand anything, if everyone is crowded at the train station, if there is an accident, there will be far more people who will die by trampling than by the mouths of insects and beasts!" Sergeant Li grabbed Qin Xin and threw it into the corner. "If you do such a superfluous thing again, I will never let you go!"
"Cut."
It was only at this time that Qin Xin appeared, and the civilians around him were all slightly stronger, and the old, weak, sick and disabled people he saw last night were all arranged to other places. In other words, in addition to being easy to manage after dispersal, even at the most critical moment, will civilians who are placed according to the distance of the train station automatically queue up to evacuate because of the distance?
What a boring arrangement.
Qin Xin returned to the cushion formed by the tent he had packed, looking around and judging.
"Ah, worms!"
Suddenly, the exclamations of the surrounding civilians made Qin Xin turn his head sharply and look at the direction of the city wall where the voice came.
A sickle-like limb about a man long suddenly appeared on the wall and slashed, splitting the warrior militia on top of it.
Although under the frantic shooting of the nearby warriors, the limbs that seemed to be insect beasts were successfully suppressed. But judging from the size of the limbs of this insect beast, it seems that the insect beast has used its own body to form a staircase under the city wall, and has successfully attacked the city wall.
In other words, the current situation has unfolded in the most dangerous direction!
"Guards, leave half to continue to maintain order, and the rest and I will go to support the front line!" Sergeant Li looked at the battle situation on the city wall and shouted loudly.
"What to do, what to do? The insects are coming! ”
"This city is about to be untenable, let's escape!"
"But the train that picks us up hasn't arrived yet, and we have only one way to escape from the city wall."
"Quiet, all quiet!" Seeing that the surrounding civilians had begun to become anxious and ready to move, the guards who had stayed behind to maintain order lined up into a wall and shouted reassurance. "Our fighters will hold out until the time when the train arrives, please trust us!"
"The city is broken!"
The terrible screams that came from nowhere made everyone turn their eyes in horror in the direction where the sound came from.
In the corner of the city wall, one after another insects and beasts climbed up from under the city wall and jumped over the city wall.
"The city is broken, !!"
The frightened civilians near Qin Xin rushed up, directly squeezed through the thin human wall, and fled in the direction of the train station.
And Qin Xin was also squeezed into the corner by the crazy crowd, unable to move.
