In the evening, the gunfire that had been raging all day in the center of Raqqa finally stopped. The remnants of the 29th Infantry Division of the 77th Infantry Division of the Sharon rebels were completely driven out of the town of Raqqa, and most of the rebels were either captured or killed, except for a small scattered breakout. Duncan, commander of the 17th Marine Division, finally breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still a stone in his heart that had not yet landed, and that was the secret order from Auston.

Although the words on the secret order are very vague, anyone with a discerning eye can see the murderous spirit hidden between the lines. Obviously, Auston, as the deputy commander of the Fifth War Zone, personally gave Haoyi a hellish "invitation". No matter how incomprehensible Duncan and the others were, they still had to carry out this Alston handwritten warrant.

According to the information obtained by the reconnaissance company directly under the division, Duncan knew in his heart that near the government building in the center of the city, the rebels had already set up an ambush position, just waiting for the marines of the 17th Division to take the bait. Originally, with this detailed information, the Marines of the 17th Division could reduce a lot of casualties. However, because of the secret order of Alston, the division commander Duncan ruthlessly formulated one, which was equivalent to sending more than 100 brothers from the 12th company of the 3rd battalion of the 8th regiment to the Ghost Gate Pass.

Originally, the 12th Company was supposed to attack the enemy-occupied area of the government building head-on, followed by the two wings of the 10th and 11th Marine Companies, attacking the area from the flank. If the 10th and 11th Marine Companies had been able to follow up in time at the start of the battle, perhaps the 12th Company would not have suffered so many casualties. However, just as the 12th Company was attacking, Duncan suddenly overstepped his command and ordered the 10th and 11th Companies to be transferred elsewhere, allowing the 12th Company to plunge headlong into the rebels' ambush circle.

The remnants of the 7th Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the 29th Infantry Division of the rebels were stationed in that government building, which was about the same strength as the 12th Company, but they had heavy weapons such as rapid-fire laser cannons and a pre-planted Haode minefield. According to Duncan's assumption, the 12th Company attacked that area, and if not all the troops were destroyed, they would suffer heavy casualties, and perhaps the sergeant who was remembered by Alston would have died in that battle.

However, what Duncan didn't expect was the unexpected death of Lieutenant Louie, the acting commander of the 12th Company, which abruptly changed the original ending of Haode. Haoyi, who took over from Louis in command, actually came up with the tactic of forcibly opening a passage between private houses and attacking government buildings on the flanks, thus changing the entire outcome of the battle in one fell swoop. Although the 12th Company still paid a lot of casualties, the sudden breakthrough of the three platoons on the outer wall of the compound still caught the rebels in the building by surprise. With the exception of some who were killed directly, most of the rebels surrendered after losing heavy weapons such as rapid-fire laser cannons.

From the sudden ambush at the beginning of the battle, to Zuihou's reactive and active attack, forcibly attacking the building from the flank, Haoyi almost relied on his command talent that he didn't even expect, and led the soldiers of the 12th Company to turn defeat into victory. And this classic battle made many officers of the division even more amazed.

"Hey, it's a pity!" If it weren't for that handwritten secret order from Auston, Duncan would definitely have trained Haoyi into an excellent front-line commander. However, despite sighing, Duncan still had to think of another way to complete the secret order. At this time, the intelligence department of the headquarters sent a message to the 17th Division, saying that the rebel 120th Corps was on its way to Raqqa Town, and it seemed that it was trying to recapture Raqqa Town. After getting this information, Duncan's heart lit up, and then he had a new Jihua.

"Chief of Staff, immediately convene the next operational meeting!" Duncan threw down the battle report in his hand and turned back to the chief of staff of the division.

The next morning, in the mountains east of the town of Raqqa, a group of soldiers in blue marine armor were busy on a potholed and disorganized position.

"I said Brother Hao, isn't it a bit too bullying for the division to do this? Dare to love our 12th Marine Company is raised by a stepmother? I don't think we'll be tired to death, and those bastards in the division will not stop! In front of a half-collapsed tunnel, Hu Erpang was tinkering with a rapid-fire laser cannon and complaining dissatisfiedly.

"Okay, don't chirp crookedly, hurry up and fix that cannon for Lao Tzu! No matter how much you complain, we are still cannon fodder! Ten steps in front of the laser cannon, Hao Yi, who had been officially appointed as the acting commander of the 12th Company by the division headquarters, was holding an electronic telescope and observing the terrain in front of the position. On the right arm of his armor, the original sergeant's armband had been replaced with a second lieutenant's armband.

Just last night, in view of his outstanding performance in the battle against the government building in Raqqa Town, Haoyi received a letter of assignment from the division headquarters. In addition to serving as acting company commander, the rank was also promoted from sergeant to a second lieutenant officer. At the same time, Haoyi, who took office as a new official, received his first combat mission. The division headquarters ordered the 12th Company to follow the 3rd Battalion to immediately transfer its position and go to the mountains east of Raqqa Town to build fortifications to cover the transfer of the main force of the division to the north.

"Damn, even if it's really cannon fodder, then you have to make people take a breath!" Hu Erpang huffed and put the multi-function wrench in his hand upside down on the ground, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "Brother Hao, do your own calculations, since we came to this ghost place, we haven't even slept for more than three hours, and the hot meal in the division cooking row has never been sent to us, and it's hard to even drink saliva!" If you look at the other companies, not only will the battle be much easier than ours, but they will also be able to take turns to rest! Is this fucking unclear bullying? Saying that, Hu Erpang didn't seem to be able to scold enough, and raised his foot and kicked the laser cannon fiercely, but he didn't step on it well, and he actually stuck his combat boots in the gap between the barrel and the barrel of the gun, which made Hu Erpang grin in pain.

The rapid-fire laser cannon was captured from the rebels who were defending the government building, and when the cannon was hit by a grenade from Haoyi, the two rebel gunners went to meet Satan on the spot. Because there was not much heavy firepower in the Marine Company, Haoyi withstood the pressure of the regiment and insisted on keeping the captured cannon in his hands. For Hao Yi and Hu Erfat, who were born as maintenance soldiers, repairing such a small rapid-fire cannon is naturally a piece of cake.

"Hey, hey! You deserve it, so you can shout again! Haoyi turned around and gloated and cursed.

"Report to the company commander!" Just as Hu Erpang stared at his round little eyes and was about to open his mouth to scold Hao Yimu for having a conscience, a herald hurriedly found Hao Yi, saluted and said, "The division headquarters has sent us the latest order!" ”

"Oh? What command? Hao Yi was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked in a deep voice. After receiving the order last night, Hao Yi only gave the brothers of the 12th Company three hours to rest, and then hurried out of the town of Raqqa to the slope of the hill, which had been a defensive position for the rebels. From night to now, Haoyi and the brothers in the company have pouted and rushed to repair the fortifications that were blown up by friendly forces, hoping to use these fortifications to withstand the counterattack of the rebels. After a busy night, the brothers had just rushed to repair the repairs, but at this time, the division headquarters suddenly came with another order, which was obviously a bit strange.

"The division headquarters ordered that our company must hold its position here for more than twenty-four hours, and we can not withdraw from the position until we receive the order to retreat, otherwise even if the whole company is exhausted, no one can retreat half a step!" The herald truthfully reported the order he had received, and as he opened a special miniature command receiver in his hand, a red command jumped out of the screen. This command receiver is a special device used within the federal army for the transmission of orders between various combat units, similar to the radio stations of early human armies. However, such receivers are equipped with multiple layers of advanced military ciphers and decoders, which can prevent the enemy from cutting into the internal communication network and impersonating superiors to issue erroneous combat orders to front-line combat units.

"I'm X, what do you mean by this order?" After listening to the herald's report, Haoyi looked carefully at the instructions on the receiver and couldn't help but wonder. This order is almost exactly the same as the combat mission that Haoyi received before, except that this order is more like a dead order issued by the division headquarters.

"Whoa!" Just when Hao Yi was hesitant and stunned, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the gloomy sky, and a long yellow beam of light suddenly plunged into a place about dozens of meters away from Hao Yi and others. "Boom!" A deafening explosion suddenly sounded, and a powerful shock wave mixed with gravel and dust slammed down. Haoyi and the others were caught off guard, and they were overturned to the ground one after another.

"Enemy attack!" After the anger passed, Hao Yi got up from the ground in embarrassment, looked up at the clouds in the sky, hurriedly closed the mask, picked up the rifle that fell on the ground, and opened the team's internal communication channel and shouted: "Leave one observation post in each platoon, and the rest of the people will all hide in the underground fortifications for Lao Tzu!" ”

The clouds in mid-air seemed to be silent for a moment, but Hao Yi understood that Shicai's cannon beam was only used by the enemy to correct the target, and there would definitely be more fierce artillery coverage later.

"Brother Hao, help me!" Hu Erfat, whose foot was stuck under the barrel of the laser rapid-fire cannon, was also a little panicked at this time, and shouted to Hao Yi with a pale face.

"You foodie!" Haoyi scolded helplessly, ran towards Hu Erpang on one side and asked on the headset on the other: "Did the platoon leaders of each squad hear the fuck?" ”

"Received in a row!" "The second row understands!" The responses of the platoon commanders of each squad came one after another in the communication channel, Hao Yi breathed a sigh of relief, put the rifle on the back of the armor, ran to the rapid-fire gun, and hurriedly helped Hu Erfat, trying to get that foot out of the crack in the barrel of the gun. Due to the excessive force, Haoyi hugged Hu Erfat's big feet and dragged them violently, and the two fell into a rolling gourd.

"Boom, boom!" At this moment, the clouds in mid-air seemed to appear like a storm of lightning, and one after another yellow beams of light roared into the position where the 12th Company was located. With a loud bang, a huge fireball soared, and the whole mountain shook like an earthquake.

"Ahem, ahem!" The moment those powerful beams of light fell in front of the position, Hao Yi grabbed Hu Erpang and jumped to the nearest fortification behind him, kicking Hu Erpang in, but he was blown in by the heat formed by those explosions, and he suddenly fell and coughed again and again.

"Brother Hao is okay, right?" Hu Erpang helped Hao Yi up in some panic.

"It's okay, damn it, the gunfire is so fierce on the dog's day!" Haoyi opened his mask and gasped for breath, while listening to the thunderous explosion outside, he frowned and said in a deep voice: "It is estimated that these dogs are not small, and the formation outside must be a large number of siege tank clusters!" ”

"Siege tanks? I'm X, Brother Hao, can we handle it? Hearing Hao Yi's words, Hu Erpang's face couldn't help but change greatly.
