Chapter 052: Ambush

On the road leading from the city of Felton to the suburban airport, a convoy of two armored personnel carriers and four fire assault vehicles was speeding east along a winding locomotive roadway. In the luxury locomotive in the middle of the convoy, Major General Hilton, the Minister of Propaganda for the Fifth Theater, was reporting to Alston on the outcome of the negotiations through the vehicle's long-range communicator.

"Well done, Hilton!" On the holographic display, Auston nodded with satisfaction and said, "Hurry back immediately!" Our Fifth War Zone will soon have a bigger operation! ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!" Hilton replied respectfully. Then, the screen on the communicator flashed, and Auston's image disappeared, and Hilton casually turned off the power of the communicator, and lay back with a long sigh of relief.

He was preparing to go back to the Fifth War Zone to resume his life. Yesterday's negotiations with Burtreum Shili, when it seemed that they were about to reach an impasse, Hilton received a secret telegram from Auston to ask Lin Bin to win the "ally" of St. Prolly's Star District no matter what, even at all costs. Following this instruction from Alston, Hilton successfully entered into a secret covenant with the St. Prolli.

The covenant stipulated that the two sides formed a secret military alliance and made a series of commitments. First of all, the two sides agreed not to attack each other's allies and their subordinates under the control of the allies, and that when the allies were attacked by other shilis, the other side must provide full assistance, including direct reinforcements, free provision of weapons and equipment, and so on. In addition to internal affairs information, the two sides should maintain mutual military transparency. There are also some small details related to this. In short, the Fifth War Zone was able to successfully tie the St. Proli Star Sector to its own chariot.

Of course, for the sake of this covenant, the Fifth War Zone can be regarded as having a lot of blood. At the beginning of the negotiations, the St. Prollian lion opened his mouth and insisted that the Fifth Theater provide them with all the equipment of a fully formed space fleet, as well as the weapons and equipment of the three close combat army groups, free of charge. Later, after Hilton's unremitting "efforts", the final price was set at a hundred Behemoth-class space battleships and a full set of base combat group army groups.

With just these equipment, Hilton played a little ninety-nine in his heart. He planned to pick up some obsolete weapons and equipment from the weapons warehouse in the Fifth War Zone, and have people repaint them and throw them to these St. Prolis. In his opinion, the nouveau riche in these remote areas are only eligible to use these second-hand goods. In this way, it can also reduce the burden on those warehouses in the fifth theater that store scrapped and obsolete equipment. This idea won Auston's admiration, and also made Hilton himself a little proud. After completing this negotiation task, I believe that Hilton will soon be promoted and reused, and he himself has long wanted to stay in the propaganda department, which has no bastards.

Unconsciously, Hilton only felt that the scenery flying by outside the car window had become countless flowers, money, beautiful women, and the high throne, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently hung a smile.

"Boom!" However, at this moment, there was a sudden loud noise in front of the convoy, and the luxury locomotive suddenly stopped in a sway, and the smile on Hilton's face suddenly froze.

"What's going on?" Hilton, who was awakened from YY, had his heart skipping and asked the adjutant sitting in front of him in a deep voice.

"Boom!" Before the panicked colonel's adjutant could answer Hilton, two loud noises were heard behind the convoy. A hurried call followed into the adjutant's headset, probably because the voice in the communication channel was too noisy, he frowned and covered the headset with one hand and listened carefully for a moment, then turned back and hurriedly reported to Hilton: "General, the convoy was ambushed by unknown armed men, and the two armored personnel carriers in front and behind were blown up!" ”

"Rush over the side hillside!" Hilton frowned, and then turned on the display in the car that could observe the movement before and after, and sure enough, on the display, there was a thick smoke rising from the front and back of the convoy. The old and spicy Hilton's heart sank, and before he had time to think about it, he turned his head and ordered the adjutant: "Pass my order, all armed vehicles are at full fire, and they will shoot at the high ground on both sides!" ”

"Yes, General!" Seeing that his commander was not flustered in the slightest, the adjutant was also a little relieved, and hurriedly connected the headset and hurriedly conveyed Hilton's order.

"Da Da Da!" In addition to the two front and rear personnel carriers that were blown into two piles of black and billowing smoke, the remaining four Vicious Fire Assault Vehicles and the surviving marines, escorting the two luxury locomotives in the middle, fired indiscriminately and blindly at the high ground on both sides, and swarmed over the hillside in front of them, fleeing forward in some panic.

"Order all personnel to be ready for battle!" Hilton, who was sitting in the rickety hovering locomotive, took out an officer's laser pistol from the underground compartment of the saddle, loaded the pistol with an energy box, and continued to give orders to the adjutant in a deep voice. Although he is now only a civilian general, he also served in front-line combat units in his youth. Having been on the battlefield for a long time, he naturally knew that if he could deal with his two armored personnel carriers in an instant, then the ambush party must have been planning for a long time, and he would never let his people rush out of the ambush battlefield so easily.

Sure enough, just as the convoy was fleeing forward like crazy, there were a few muffled sounds unique to special sniper rifles from some corner, and the two evil fire assault vehicles that rushed to the front sat down sharply, and then hit the woods next to the ground turntable lane. After a thunderclap, with puffs of white smoke coming out, the two assault vehicles got stuck between the tree trunks, motionless. Apparently, nine times out of ten, their drivers have been reimbursed by the sniper bullets.

"Sniper!" From the lieutenant's headset came the panicked screams of his men. The colonel's face suddenly changed drastically, and he hurriedly turned around and shouted to Hilton: "General, get down, there are snipers!" ”

"Panic what!" Hilton scolded with a calm face: "Tell the rest of the brothers to stop and prepare for defense, the other party must have calculated our retreat, no matter which way we break through......

"Bang!" Before Hilton could finish his words, he heard a muffled sound from the back half of the locomotive's body, and the whole locomotive shuddered, and it actually fell to the ground with a thud, and fell heavily on the uneven mountain slope. The people in the car, including Hilton, were suddenly smashed.

"Sir, the locomotive's suspension power system has been broken!" The advanced on-board alarm system then sounded violently, and the second lieutenant who was the driver reported to Hilton and the others in a panic.

"Get out of the car!" Hilton didn't talk much nonsense, raised his pistol and ordered the driver and adjutant in a deep voice: "Hurry up and open the door, I don't want to die in this iron coffin!" ”

"The general can't go out! There are snipers on the other side! Seeing this, the colonel's adjutant hurriedly stopped.

"Afraid of what? Soldiers deserve to die under the gun! The seemingly polite Hilton was arrogant at this time, scolded the adjutant loudly, and continued to yell at the second lieutenant driver: "Damn, open the car door!" ”

"Sir, the door is locked!" The driver explained with a sad face: "The door activation system and the locomotive suspension system use the same power, and now both systems are failing!" We ......"

"Woohoo!" Before the driver could finish his sentence, Hilton raised his pistol and fired several shots at the door latch. Although this luxury locomotive has a certain bulletproof function, it is only for the outer skin. Hilton's pistol was less powerful, but shooting from the inside out at such close range still sent a puff of white smoke out of the locomotive door. Then, Hilton lifted his iron-clad military boots and kicked them at the door.

"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and the car door was kicked open by Hilton, and the colonel's adjutant and the second lieutenant driver couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Hilton didn't bother to look at the expressions of the two men, and bent down to get out of the tattered car door.

The place where they stopped was on a gentle slope next to the locomotive roadway, flanked by dense and tall jungle, with steep rocky slopes behind it, apparently an excellent terrain for ambushes. Two smoking, flame-fighting assault vehicles stuck in the jungle ahead, and in the locomotive lane behind them were two smoke-billowing and blazing armored personnel carriers.

"How's it going, Sbill? Where is the enemy? After crawling out of the locomotive lying on the slope, Hilton leaned behind the car and looked around the terrain before the Marines hurriedly chased after him with the helmet mask open. He was the vice-captain of the Hilton escort, and he had just led more than a dozen of his men to sit in the personnel carrier behind him. When the convoy had just stopped because the troop carrier leading the way had been blown up, Spiel and his men hurriedly jumped out of the car, and it was because of this that they escaped.

"General, hide quickly! There are snipers on the other side! Spear, who hurried over with an assault rifle, screamed in shock when he saw Hilton actually carrying a pistol himself.

"Bang!" However, before his words could land, a scream was heard, and there was a soft sound of metal shattering from Spear's land armor, followed by his tall figure, and a sudden stream of blood spurted out of his mouth, and the whole person fell with a bang.

"3 o'clock direction jungle, cover shot! Evil fire assault car to Lao Tzu! Hilton was stunned for a moment, then reacted, quickly determined the approximate location of the sniper based on the angle of the wound on Spear's back, and brandished his pistol and shouted orders to the remaining subordinates.

"Da Da Da! Rumble! Unfortunately, Hilton was answered by a series of fierce gunshots and grenade explosions from the jungle in the opposite direction. In less than five seconds, the remaining Marines fell to the ground one after another, and even the two fire assault vehicles turned into two large fireballs, and even the colonel's adjutant and driver who had just come out of the locomotive were named by the two sniper bullets that flew later.

After about ten seconds, the entire battlefield seemed to be calm again, except for the wreckage of the flaming locomotives, crackling and crackling, not even the sound of a wounded soldier wailing. Those poor Marines were basically hit in the middle and went straight to God.

"I'm X!" The remaining lonely Major General Hilton, standing there with a pistol and staring blankly, almost in the blink of an eye, all of them turned into Leng Binbin's corpse's subordinates, and he couldn't help but be horrified in his heart, and he actually screamed and cursed.

At this moment, about ten meters away from the front of Hilton, there was a sudden fluctuation in the air, and a green figure slowly revealed......
