Chapter 102: Colonel Meyer
Yesterday's heavy snow made Manta City, which had once again experienced war, feel calm again. However, apart from the rebel soldiers scurrying around the city, there was still not a single ordinary Manta citizen in the city.
In a temporary barracks converted from the former logistics base of the expeditionary force, Colonel Maier of the rebel army had just come out of a single barracks for officers, looked up at the sky, stretched his waist, and walked very comfortably on the snow on the ground towards a nearby barracks restaurant, ready to enjoy a delicious afternoon tea.
Last night's search mission in the southeastern mountains killed only seventy or eighty captives of the expeditionary force who tried to escape, and also lost one of his own squadron of marines, but this did not affect Mel's mood in the slightest. For him, the success of the "remnants" of the expeditionary force that had rescued the captives in that unidentified base was his greatest victory.
He had always believed that the "remnants of the army" were a considerable threat to the rebels in Manta City in terms of strength and combat effectiveness. For no other reason, the fact that an entire armored detachment was almost wiped out is proof of this. Now, although all the armored forces on the ground have withdrawn into the city, the Banshee Squad is still ordered to carry out patrols and search missions over the southeastern mountains from time to time, and Maier believes that the remnants of the troops will soon be revealed.
However, just as Mel was pacing comfortably with a cigar dropped, his hands folded, and humming a ditty, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind him. Frightened, Mel looked back and saw his lieutenant running towards him with a panicked expression.
"Big Niu, what's wrong? So flustered? Maier frowned, a little displeased with the flustered nature of his captain's lieutenant.
"No, sir!" The captain officer, who was called the big bull, ran up to Meyer, saluted, and said breathlessly: "General, something has happened to the general!" ”
"What!" Maier originally thought that it would be the discovery of the remnants of the expeditionary force, but he did not expect his adjutant to speak in a surprising manner, which really made him a little hard to believe. "What did you say?" Mel glared at his slender eagle eyes and snapped a question.
"Something happened to the general, sir!" I don't know if he was frightened by the angry Mel or finally relieved, Da Niu stopped stammering this time, and said clearly: "I just received an urgent report from the General's Guard, General Simon was held hostage by an unidentified armed man when he was inspecting the progress of the project in Area XXX. Now several lieutenant officers, including Colonel Larhi, have also been held hostage by the armed men. ”
"What fucking nonsense!" Maier still couldn't believe that such a situation could happen, his face changed again and again, and he suddenly shouted: "Those guards all grew up eating? Playing with a burning stick in your hand? With that, Mel paced in place in a huff.
It's no wonder that Maier couldn't believe that before the early hours of yesterday morning, the entire city of Manta had been turned over by them, and there was absolutely no trace of the remnants of the armed men of the expeditionary force. Now there are tens of thousands of rebels gathered in Manta City, dozens of chariots and mechs, and many demon fighters, and the patrols in the city are dense enough that not a single mosquito can fly in. Moreover, next to the engineering base in the XXX area, there was a whole brigade of marines stationed. Isn't it a big joke that under such a tightly guarded situation, an unidentified armed man can still emerge and kidnap a general and several lieutenants and officers in full view of everyone?
"Fuck, you tell me a good story! Where did that armed man come from? Did it come out of the ground? Mel asked with a gloomy face.
"Sir, the specific situation is not very clear to the subordinates!" Captain Da Niu smiled bitterly and explained: "According to the report of the captain of the general's guard, the general was attacked after entering the control room of that base!" ”
"So what's going on now? What about the generals? ”
"According to the General's Guard, the armed man, after holding the General hostage, grabbed an armored car, presumably trying to escape from the city. But later, for some reason, he turned around and drove to the base where the general's office was. The base is currently surrounded by the Guards and nearby friendly forces. ”
"There's a in the fence!" Mel spat fiercely and scolded angrily: "The general is in the hands of that man, do those bastards dare to rush in to save the general?" What a fucking bunch of shit! As he spoke, he paced anxiously to and fro in the snow with a blushing face.
"No, isn't that guy alone? weishenme doesn't send snipers to take him out! Maier suddenly remembered something, and asked sharply: "Even if there are no snipers in the General's Guard, and there are special sniper squads in other friendly forces, where the hell are they all dead?" ”
"This, this, the subordinates are not clear!" The big cow snorted and replied.
"You idiot!" Maier scolded unhappily: "If you don't even know the specific situation, report to Lao Tzu!" After scolding, he huffed his hands behind his back and hurried into the command post in the camp.
"Connect me to the General's Guard channel!" Maier picked up the headset and gave an order to the communications officer on duty. After a while, the channel was connected, and Mel listened to the report of the captain of the general guard, but his face became more and more gloomy. Moments later, Maier took off his headset, slammed it on the table, and paced around the command post even more irritably.
The Captain's report surprised Maier again. He didn't expect that the unidentified armed man would come up with such a clever trick to avoid being shot by a sniper. Such a tactic may only be done by federal agents who pin their heads to their belts. Could it be that the Federal Military Department has already discovered the wormhole jihua formulated by the headquarters? Otherwise, why did federal agents appear in Manta City so quickly? Perhaps this is the only explanation that makes sense.
Maier thought, his heart was even more of a mess, and he was a little dazed.
"Report to the sir, the out-of-town patrol has captured two armed members of the Federal Army, a man and a woman!" At this time, a Marine squadron leader suddenly came in at the door and reported to Mary.
"Shoot them all!" Maier was agonizing over the general's affairs, and waved his hand impatiently and ordered.
The squadron leader said yes and prepared to go out to carry out the order. At this time, Maier suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly stopped the squadron leader and asked, "Wait, where were those two armed men found?" ”
"The commander of the Hui Brigade found it on the hillside where an engineering truck dumped abandoned soil."
"Oh? Is that hillside specifically for the XXX construction truck to dump dirt? ”
"Yes, brigade commander!"
"Got it! Command Change! Mayer's slender eagle eyes narrowed abruptly, and the corners of his mouth raised his trademark evil smile, and he said coldly: "Bring those two armed men over, Lao Tzu is useful!" ”
