Chapter 008: Rescuing Refugees
In the town of Silicon River, the fierce and rapid sound of gunfire still echoed everywhere from time to time. The remaining firepower points deployed by the reinforced regiment on the outer defense line of the town were pulled out one by one by the army of insects that swept in. In the town, more than half of the urban area has been turned into a devastated no-man's land by the insects, and only about less than one-fifth of the urban area is still in the hands of the reinforcement group.
Obviously, Silicon River, the gateway town of PN01 Ladder, is already in danger under the continuous impact of the alien army. Behind the town is a dense refugee camp filled with thousands of unarmed civilians waiting to be evacuated. Once the town of Silicon River is lost, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Buzz......" An armed off-road locomotive rolled up a puff of smoke and dust, roared out of the block where the battalion headquarters was located, and went straight to other positions where fierce battles were being fought.
"Boss, what now?" Zhao Jiakun frowned and stared at the back of the locomotive in the distance, and the worried words of platoon commander Jiang Datou came from his ears.
"Jiang Datou, aren't you asking nonsense? Since the regimental headquarters ordered us to retreat, of course we have to pack up our guys and get out of this hellish place as soon as possible! Before Zhao Jiakun could answer, Xiao Yangzi, a communication soldier on the side, said.
"Damn, when will it be your turn to interject? The battalion commander didn't speak, who dared to withdraw? Lao Tzu killed him! Xiao Yangzi's voice fell, and Jiang Datou glared at the bull's eye and scolded angrily. While scolding, Jiang Datou raised the rifle in his hand, reopened the bolt safety with a click, and swept around the other marines scattered all over the bunker.
"You!" The two didn't seem to be right, Xiao Yangzi was agitated by Jiang Datou's words, and his face turned red in a hurry, and he couldn't even say a word.
"Withdraw!" Just as these two subordinates were grinning at each other and were ready to fight first, Zhao Jiakun suddenly turned around and gave a categorical order: "If you don't withdraw, do you want to stay here stupidly and let those doggy beasts tear us apart alive?" I don't want to be a snack for those brutes yet! ”
"Withdraw? Boss, that, that......" Zhao Jiakun's order made Jiang Datou stunned, and he stammered and couldn't say a complete sentence.
"What's that? Lao Tzu hasn't finished his words yet! Zhao Jiakun glanced at Jiang Datou, turned back to the beaming marines and continued: "Staff Officer Li of the battalion headquarters will take everyone, according to the order of the regiment headquarters, retreat to the designated place, and wait for further instructions from the superiors. I need a few guys who are willing to pin their heads to their belts, and together with me and Jiang Datou, we can rescue those refugees first! ”
After a pause, Zhao Jiakun glanced at the Marines who were suddenly silent in the bunker, frowned and said in a deep voice: "This is not a mandatory order, the brothers can choose for themselves, whether to retreat with Staff Officer Li, or with Lao Tzu, and vigorously rush it again!" No matter what choice you make, they are all good brothers who have fought side by side with me Zhao Jiakun in my life! ”
Speaking of zuihou, Zhao Jiakun's words were like saying goodbye to his subordinates, and the marines were all excited.
"Battalion commander, I'd better go and save those refugees! You are the boss, and the rest of the first battalion cannot live without your command! Li Zhigang, the battalion staff major nicknamed Pig's Head Li, stepped forward and said in a deep voice.
"Boss, let me take some of my brothers! I know the way, as long as I give us more ammunition, I promise to get those refugees out! Jiang Datou was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask for his life.
"Battalion commander, I'll go with you!" Seeing this, Xiao Yangzi, a communications soldier, was excited in his heart, and he also said in a high-pitched voice: "I also have a long-range communication terminal on me, and if necessary, the battalion commander can also remotely command the other company and platoon brothers in the battalion!" ”
"I'll go too, I'm a heavy machine gunner, and I'm the best at dealing with those hordes of brutes!"
"And me, I'm a medic, but it's not that I'm ruining my fun, bringing bad luck to the brothers! Bullets don't have long eyes on the battlefield, and the brothers have to rely on me to help if they need to......"
For a time, the marines, led by the leaders, were actually enthusiastic and asked for battle.
"Don't fight! Now is not the time to be a hero, there are thousands of brutes out there, waiting for us to send them in their mouths! Everyone figured it out, apart from a few of our brothers whose fate was uncertain and the number of refugees from Bailai, there were only countless alien beasts. Without friendly cooperation and no reinforcements, once everyone follows Lao Tzu and arches in, only by killing a bloody road can they break out of the encirclement! The high fighting spirit of his subordinates made Zhao Jiakun's heart warm and moved. However, Zhao Jiakun still had a cold old face and made it clear to the marines in advance about the dangers he would face.
"Battalion commander, stop talking! Everyone is a brother of life and death who has rolled in the trenches, isn't it just to break through the ghost gate? It's a big deal, the brothers pull each other and hit the road together, what are you afraid of! The battalion staff officer Pig Head Li grinned, raised the rifle in his hand and said, "Perhaps, if you are lucky, the brothers can rush back one by one!" ”
"Yes, Staff Officer Li is right! What are you afraid of, it's a dead word! Damn, I've already killed enough, and I don't care about pulling some beasts on my back before I die! ”
"That's right, I still want to kill a few more to avenge the second dog! Grandma's bear! ”
"And the bearded, damn it, Lao Tzu watched him get his chest torn open by those shitty beasts! If you don't kill a few alien beasts, I can't swallow this breath! ”
Obviously, the danger posed by Zhao Jiakun did not frighten the marines, but only aroused the fighting spirit of his subordinates. After three or two shouts, a cadre of marines turned red-eyed, and they immediately copied the guys and rushed out to fight the insects.
"Good! In that case, the brothers will break through him again! The bold words of his subordinates made Zhao Jiakun's blood boil, and with a wave of his big hand, he resolutely ordered: "Xiao Yangzi, you take a few brothers, go to notify each company and platoon, and immediately evacuate to the designated place according to the order of the regiment headquarters!" Don't stare, I'm not done yet! After delivering the order, if you're still alive, bring some men and pick us up! Do you understand? ”
"Yes, Battalion Commander!" Xiao Yang Zi, a communications soldier, responded excitedly.
"The others immediately check the weapons and ammunition, follow me, and go to rescue the refugees!" Then, Zhao Jiakun said loudly again, and took the lead in checking the weapons and ammunition on his body.
Moments later, three armed off-road locomotives, loaded with a dozen Marines, whizzed out of the neighborhood and headed straight for the insect-controlled city.
"Da Da Da ......"
In an area of Silicon River Town, a church covering a large area stands tremblingly in the midst of the flames of war. Around the church, there were broken bricks and tiles billowing black smoke. Between the ruins, black and brown ugly figures flickered rapidly. A few jumping insects arched headlong into the outer wall of the church, waving their claws and squeaking at the main building. At this time, at the window of the bell tower at the top of the church, a few tongues of fire suddenly burst out, and the jumping insects jumped back one after another. One of the jumping insects, probably inadvertently hit the vital point, fell to the ground and couldn't move.
"Holy shit, let you come again!" In the open space between the main building of the church and the outer wall, there were still a dozen corpses of jumping insects and two cockroaches, and seven or eight charred black craters from high-explosive grenades were scattered irregularly all around. After the wounded jumping insects screamed and exited the church, a muffled scolding could be heard from the bell tower.
"Squad leader, how many times has this been?" Inside the bell tower were three heavily armed Marines. The three of them had traces of red or green blood on their broken armor, and it was impossible to tell whether it was left by the insects or their own. A Marine was grinning at the frantically fleeing jumping insects, and another Marine next to him poked him in the arm and asked in a deep voice.
"Hell, remember! Anyway, those dog-day brutes will never be willing to tear us apart! The Marine squad leader shrugged his shoulders and replied helplessly.
As he spoke, he removed the empty magazine from his rifle and subconsciously took out a new spare magazine from the ammunition compartment of his armor. However, this guy touched the air with one hand, and his heart jumped, and he turned back to the other two team members and asked, "Which of you still has any remaining magazines, mine is gone!" ”
"Here, squad leader!" The Marine who asked the question earlier reached out and handed over a magazine, sighed lightly and said, "Zuihou one, save some use!" The platoon commander has been back for so long, and I don't know if the battalion commander will come to pick us up! ”
"I can't care so much! Look at this jiashi, what kind of bird town is estimated to be full of those beasts and insects scurrying around and biting people, whether the platoon commander can rush back is still a question! The small squad leader clicked to replace himself with a magazine, and then sighed slightly, and said, "Forget it, don't think about it!" Cheer me up, how to say that before going on the road, I have to pull a few more beasts to cushion my back! ”
After speaking, the Marine Corps squad leader asked in a deep voice into the headset: "Xu Laojiu, is there any movement below?" ”
"Squad leader, don't worry, Lao Tzu asked people to block all the doors and windows! As long as the dog-day beast dares to rush in, Lao Tzu will definitely blow it to pieces! Unless the brutes tear me apart first, you want to hurt those civilians! ”
"That's good, that's a good sound! Pay more attention to the direction of six o'clock, that direction is the blind spot of our sight, be careful, don't let the brutes sneak over! The small squad leader carefully advised.
"Understand the squad leader!"
"Squad leader, look!" As soon as the small squad leader cut off the communication, the marines on the side raised their hands and pointed to the ruins in the distance, and whispered in some panic.
"Prepare for battle!" The small squad leader followed the prestige, and saw that between the scorched black ruins, forty or fifty jumping insects and a dozen cockroaches and stinging snakes suddenly popped up, and they pounced on the front of the church with their teeth and claws.
The Worms' previous attack on the church had been a tentative attack by three or five small forces at best. And this time, apparently, the insects were determined to eat the five Marines and the hundred refugees hiding in the church in one bite.
......Just as the insects roared across the wall, the loud roar of an armed off-road locomotive engine suddenly sounded from the street not far away.
