Chapter 015: Almost infighting
Please remember the URL of this site: . The transport plane that turned around and turned back was on it. It was the last group of Zhao Jiakun and others who were evacuated from Silicon River Town.
"Brother Hou. Thank you very much." When Zhao Jiakun rushed to the small square in a hurry. He didn't expect it. Hou Daming, who was seriously injured, would actually lead the team in person. Hold on to the evacuation point and wait for them to return. When my heart is moved. Zhao Jiakun doesn't care about the so-called face. I sincerely expressed my gratitude to Hou Daming. And Hou Daming also laughed. With a big wave of his hand. Signaled Zhao Jiakun to quickly lead the team to board the transport plane. So far. Past feuds between the two. It's a write-off.
On a transport plane. For the first time, Zhao Jiakun took the respect that his subordinates deserved. reported to Hou Daming on his actions to rescue refugees. and decided on actions without reporting to the regimental headquarters. Frankly admit his mistake to Hou Daming. Hou Daming naturally said generously. Do not account for these. And on the contrary, he greatly praised Zhao Jiakun and his heroic actions. Then. Hou Daming also made it transparent to Zhao Jiakun what he knew. The inside story of the evacuation operation that was ordered directly from Task Force Command.
"A staff officer of the command of the task force. It's my countryman and friend. It was the order he gave me to retreat. But. Then he whispered to me to explain. This time it was not only our reinforced regiment that was forced to withdraw immediately from its defensive positions. The entire contingent of troops on all fronts is fighting fiercely. All received orders for emergency evacuation." Through the holographic porthole. Hou Daming glanced at the PN01 ladder platform standing tall in the distance. With a light sigh, he said, "Obviously. The Warzone Headquarters has decided to abandon this barren planet. My fellow countryman advised me to get out of my position. Rush to the ladder platform. There was a small group of space battleships there that had come to assist with the evacuation of our Secret Service. Deadline for evacuation time. It's before dark. After dark. That small fleet will leave the atmosphere of Pune. Reputedly. There will be one more time later. A large-scale operation dedicated to the alien insects on the planet Pune. As for what the action is. Even my fellow staff officer doesn't know much about it."
"Give up Puen. And what about the millions of refugees waiting to be evacuated." After listening to Hou Daming's narration. Zhao Jiakun asked in amazement.
"I don't know. Alas. Brother. This may not be a low-level officer like you and me. You can worry about it." Hou Daming smiled bitterly and shook his head. Another sigh said, "What I can do is. Let the remaining brethren of the reinforced regiment. Go home with all arms and legs. Alas. You also know. We've had enough blood shed in this damn place."
It was Hou Daming's last sigh. Zhao Jiakun, who was originally indignant, was silent for a while. Hou Daming is telling the truth. The entire reinforcement regiment originally had a small number of men. All kinds of chariots and mechs are even more unique. However. After coming to the planet Pune. It didn't take a few turns to fight the bloody and brutal army of insects. The casualties of the reinforced regiment amounted to almost a third. All kinds of heavy weapons and equipment. It's even more depleted. It can be said that . Almost no combat effectiveness . If it weren't for two rounds of rest and replenishment. It is difficult for the reinforcement group to continue in a fierce battle with such a strong insect. Keep it up.
And right now. Reinforced regiment evacuated from Silicon Chuan Town. The force was only about half of what it had when it had arrived in Pune. Although the fighting spirit is still strong. However, the conditions in all aspects are almost unable to support the high-intensity operation of the entire reinforced regiment. Maybe. The evacuation order for the contingent did not take into account the millions of innocent refugees. But it's not entirely wrong. Maybe. In the eyes of the top of the theater headquarters . A well-trained and battle-hardened elite division. Far more than millions of unarmed ordinary people. More important.
"Battalion commander. Take a look below." Just when Zhao Jiakun was a little distracted. Platoon Commander Jiang Datou shouted. Interrupted his thoughts. Zhao Jiakun and others who heard the movement. Hurriedly got up and looked down through the porthole. Then you saw the conveyor sweeping down a hillside. It's smoke and dust. Glimpses. A group of humans is being hunted down by a small army of insects.
"There's someone down there. Fast. Tell the pilot to land." Zhao Jiakun saw this. Without thinking about it, he said loudly to Hou Daming on the side. In his opinion. Hou Daming, who is also a soldier. See these civilians being hunted down by insects. Surely without hesitation will agree to save their own life.
"Nope." However. What Zhao Jiakun didn't expect was . Hou Daming glanced at a time display at the top of the transport cabin. After a little hesitation, he categorically rejected his proposal: "Time is running out. In the delay goes on. I'm afraid we won't even be able to board the evacuated spaceship."
"What a mess. Dead Old Marquis. Can't you bear to watch those civilians being torn apart one by one by the alien bugs of the dog's day?" Zhao Jiakun was stunned when he heard this. Then the reaction came. I don't care about the suspicion with Hou Daming just now. Staring at the bull's eye, he asked sharply.
"There are dozens of heads in this transport plane waiting to go home and see their loved ones. I'm responsible for them." Heard Zhao Jiakun's questioning. Although Hou Daming is not angry. But also coldly-for-tat.
"You." Hou Daming's reason. made Zhao Jiakun not know how to refute for a while. But. His heart moved. Changed his words and said to Hou Daming: "It's okay. Since Grand Master Hou didn't have the courage to take the risk to save people. Then I'll go by myself."
"I didn't say anything. I firmly support the battalion commander's decision." Zhao Jiakun's voice fell. Jiang Datou on the side said loudly. Out of the corner of his eye, he casually glanced at Hou Daming. A look of disdain.
"I'll go too. I don't want to be stigmatized as dying." Staff Officer Li also smiled and followed.
"And me."" Count me in." ……
Time. The cabin echoed loudly. But. The vast majority were officers and men of the first battalion. Of course, there are also a few Hou Daming's subordinates. Mixed in and cheering.
"A bunch of idiots. Did you know? Once down to save people. Lost time. There is a risk of losing the opportunity to evacuate. Do you want to be with those refugees? Do you want to bury this ghost planet together?" Hou Daming still refused coldly unmoved: "No. I'm the head of the regiment. There is no command from me. No one is allowed to go down and save anyone."
Because Hou Daming was seriously injured. You can only recline in your seat when talking. A gloomy and miserable old face. He looked very unhappy.
"Hou Daming." Hou Daming's words suddenly made Zhao Jiakun's face flushed. The next moment. A sudden rush of blood rushed to the brain. Zhao Jiakun suddenly stepped forward. grabbed Hou Daming's neck. With his right hand, he took out the matching gun. Pointing at Hou Daming's temple, he suddenly shouted: "Quickly order to turn around and go back. You don't go to save people. Don't stop Lao Tzu. Otherwise, don't blame Lao Tzu for not having long eyes."
"Zhao Jiakun. Do you want to rebel?" Probably Zhao Jiakun's movements were too fast. The men beside Hou Daming didn't even have time to react. watched the seriously injured regiment commander being held to the head with a gun by Zhao Jiakun. The second lieutenant staff officer of the regimental headquarters who had been following Hou Daming. His face changed dramatically with fright. got up and pointed at Zhao Jiakun is resolute shouting.
His voice fell. The marines directly under Hou Daming in the cabin behind him. Almost reflexively, he got up. They all raised their weapons. Aimed at Zhao Jiakun and others. And the officers and soldiers of Zhao Jiakun's first battalion. Not to be outdone, nature is not to be outdone. He also raised the muzzle of the gun in unison.
"Don't fuck it. I don't want to die. Put down your weapons for Lao Tzu." Platoon Commander Jiang Datou's actions are even more exaggerated. actually took out a few high-explosive grenades. Click to flick off the safety latch. Hold high in mid-air. The momentum is about to detonate. The power of these high-explosive grenades to explode at the same time should not be underestimated. Let's not talk about whether everyone in the cabin will survive or not. Even this transport plane could not withstand the bombardment of cluster grenades. Once the explosion comes up. There is absolutely only one result. That's the destruction of the plane and the death of people.
Hou Daming's subordinates naturally didn't expect it. There are such outlaws who are not afraid of death in Zhao Jiakun's camp. For a while, he was shocked and slightly commotioned. Even the second lieutenant's staff officer twitched at the corner of his mouth. I don't know how to deal with this extremely dangerous situation.
"Alright. Fucking it's going to get hands. I have to listen to Lao Tzu first." Seeing that the two sides were tense and had a great posture of fighting for each other. Hou Daming, who was "held hostage" by Zhao Jiakun, said calmly.
"Hmph." Zhao Jiakun who has eased up. The anger in my heart receded slightly. Hearing this, he snorted coldly and put away his gun.
"Lao Zhao. You're going to save people. I won't stop you. But. Let's talk about the ugly things in front of us. Since you won't listen to my old brother's advice. Then whatever the consequences. You can only do it yourself. And also. Once you guys go down. I will not give the order to wait for you. Except for you here. There are dozens of others. I did. I have to be responsible for their families." The next moment. Hou Daming tightly covered the wound bandage on his chest with one hand. Struggling to stand up. Almost word for word, he said, "Think of these brothers who live and die with you. You'll have to think about it. Let's make a decision."
Hou Daming's reasons for stating again are quite convincing. It actually made Zhao Jiakun, who calmed down, hesitate for a while. Subconsciously looked back at the officers and soldiers of the battalion behind him.
"Boss. Don't listen to him. No matter where you go. I'm going to follow you." The platoon commander Jiang Datou straightened his chest and said loudly.
"Battalion commander. Me too. The brothers have broken through so many ghost gates together. It's not bad this time." Staff Officer Li said with a smile.
"Staff Officer Li is right. Battalion commander. You just give the order. The brethren have followed you."
"Yes. It's a mountain of swords and a sea of fire. We won't say a word more. Battalion commander."
Hou Daming didn't expect it. His remarks did not frighten Zhao Jiakun's subordinates. On the contrary, the officers and men of the first battalion put on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance. Between shouting loudly. It actually made Hou Daming's subordinates also follow a faint commotion.
"Good. Brethren, let's break it together again. Even if it goes to the underworld. You are still my good brother to Lao Zhao." Zhao Jiakun's heart was agitated. Warm liquid oozes slightly from the eye sockets. solemnly nodded to Jiang Datou and the others. And then I came back. Quietly looked at Hou Daming, who was pale.
"Alas......" was silent for a moment. Hou Daming shook his head and let out a long sigh.
