Text Volume 1 The Human World Chapter 48 The Fall
The troops surrounding Faziselu quickly spread out in battle formation, directly engaging the nearest infected, and for a moment the gunfire rang out, and the sound of artillery fire covered the historic square.
"Minister, the mechs have asked for instructions to retreat," a wounded soldier staggered over to Faziselu behind him, "too many, too many infected." ”
He was one of the liaison soldiers in Faziseilu's guards, and he was directly targeted by the infected during the battle just now, and nearly lost his life.
Faziseilu's brow furrowed. "What is the situation in Damascus now, how many infected people are coming in."
"Let the Air Force investigate."
"Withdraw, Minister." The subordinates around him began to persuade Fa Qisailu, and the survivors in the square were all killed except for a few who were rescued by Xu Ya's government army.
And because this day is a military parade, the troops carried by the parade are basically empty cartridges, and the number of live ammunition is very small, so it has only passed less than ten minutes, and the Xu Ya government army that exchanged fire with the infected began to slowly fall into the disadvantage, and the infected people in the square seem to be fighting more and more, and this meeting has basically cleaned up the square, and there are only traces of government troops in the area where Faqiselu is located in the square, and they are compressed in a very small place in the square.
"Minister, quickly give the order to withdraw, if you don't withdraw, it'll be too late!" The subordinates beside him looked at Faqisailu's frowning brows, knowing that he couldn't make up his mind for a while, but the current situation really didn't allow Faqiselu to hesitate.
The infected had wiped out the rest of the square, and the flames were burning and the square was littered with corpses of the crowd and tattered armored vehicles with the smoke and smoke of the flames.
"How's the casualty situation on the mech's side?" Faziselu asked.
"The casualties are not small, and the number of infected people encountered is also a lot, basically surrounding them, but the person in charge over there still said that it is no problem to break through."
"Hmm." Faziselu nodded.
"Withdraw."
Under the protection of the remnants of the government forces on Faziselu Square, they fought their way out of the encirclement of the infected.
The infected did not seem to stop there, and pursued the remnants of Fazisailu until all of Fazisailu's troops withdrew from the city.
Faziselu withdrew to a government military base about 20 kilometres from Damascus.
"How's it going?" As soon as he arrived at the base, Faziselu directly asked the base's military commander, Lieutenant General Mu'alim, who had come to greet him.
Lieutenant General Mualim was also apparently aware of the incident in the city of Xuya, and he immediately mobilized various reconnaissance methods to conduct a series of investigations into the situation in the city of Damascus.
His face was gloomy, and Faziselu had a hunch that things might be much more serious than he had thought.
"The situation may be more than we expected, and this is the footage captured by the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft I sent out."
In the center of the large screen at the base headquarters are several photographs of the entire Damascus city from the air, on which you can see that the entire Damascus city has been shrouded in firelight, and there are ruins everywhere, and at a height of several hundred meters, you can faintly see some fleeing people, as well as a large number of infected people in short black robes surrounding them.
"The whole of Damascus has been occupied?" Faziseilu's tone was full of disbelief.
Muarrim nodded. "That's pretty much the case, the infected have completed the entire occupation of the entire city of Damascus."
"Now our base is organizing forces to prepare for a counteroffensive on the city of Damascus."
Mualim's expression was extremely grim. "But the situation on our side is not very good, the main force that was previously responsible for the Damascus guard was assigned to the parade ceremony, although it successfully broke out of the city, but according to the casualty statistics, the casualty ratio has reached 80 percent, basically it has lost its proper structure, and there are all kinds of weapons and ammunition, we are not yet ready, I have notified the military bases closest to Damascus to send people to support, But if you want to finally complete the recovery of Damascus, I am afraid it is still a little bit close. ”
Faziselu groaned for a long time. "Go to the Russians, only they can help us as quickly as possible, and then inform the president in Asgar of everything."
This time the attack of the infected seems to be menacing, before that, it was the Xu Ya government that encircled and suppressed the infected organizations of different degrees, although the "black fog" is very powerful in Xu Ya and even the whole world, but there has never been such a situation of taking the initiative to attack the Xu Ya government.
And this time, the infected organization actually launched a direct attack on Damascus, the capital of Xu Ya, and in terms of the scale of the number of infected people attacking, they had never been encountered before.
"Why did you choose this day to attack," Faqiselu was puzzled, "No, it should be why they chose this time to attack, if there is such a huge force, then they can do it long ago, especially in the period after our government fought against the dragonized infected, when our vitality was greatly damaged, they didn't attack us at that time, but they came at this time." ”
Mecha City, Asca.
In the central control room, Assad did not hold back and smashed his fist on the table in front of him.
There was a muffled thud on the table.
Qi Zeyue's eyelids jumped, he subconsciously wanted to tell Assad not to destroy public property, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say it, after all, such a big thing happened in the country.
"How can it be!" Assad almost roared in a roaring voice.
"Their guts are really getting fatter and fatter, and even our capital dares to fight."
After a while, Assad gradually calmed down again.
"What's going on now?" Qi Zeyue asked.
Assad shook his head. "Damascus has fallen, and my Minister of Defense has sent me the news that the troops in the garrison area of the city have suffered nearly 70 percent casualties, and the formation has been basically destroyed, and now only the military base outside the city is still intact, but there is a serious shortage of soldiers and ammunition in the next counteroffensive plan."
"I will instruct all the forces of our military bases in Xuya to assist you." Polezhnev took over from the side.
"It seems that this time the 'Black Mist' is going to make a big move," Qi Zeyue held his cheeks, "Is it to contact Liu Yu and their infected forces on our side, will their actions over there have anything to do with Liu Yu's actions here." ”
"Didn't you say that the frequency of the black body sound waves in Mecha City has been very abnormal recently?"
"What, could it be that they want to take down Mecha City directly?"
Qi Zeyue shook his head. "It's impossible, it's still impossible to take down Mecha City, with the current strength of the black body."
He groaned for a long time. "It's not just trying to provoke conflict, I'm more curious, what is the point of them capturing Damascus, this is the capital of Xuya, the city we will definitely do our best to recapture, if it's just a certain city on the border that can't be taken back, but what good can they do to occupy it? It is also in the center of Xu Ya's government, and it is also the political center of Xu Ya, such a place, after the occupation, it will do all kinds of harm to the 'black fog' but not any benefit. ”
"In any case, let's prepare to retake Damascus first." Assad said that he seemed a little helpless, and as soon as he stepped out of the country to Asca, he was stabbed by the "black fog" on his back foot.
"It's still necessary to take strict precautions against those infected who operate in Mecha City, especially those with higher ranks."
"Be ready to evacuate people at any time." Polezhnev said.
"At about 10:30 a.m. today, Damascus, the capital of the Republic of Xuya, was attacked by a large-scale attack by the infected people's organization 'Black Mist', before that, Damascus was conducting a large-scale National Day military parade, due to the large number of infected people participating in the attack, at 12:20 p.m., Damascus was lost, and the Xuya government army withdrew to the garrison base on the outskirts of Damascus, preparing for the next counteroffensive."
"The casualties are still being counted."
In Mecha City, such a piece of news caused an uproar, and the sudden situation caught everyone off guard.
"Did you read the news?"
"Damascus lost?"
"Isn't that Xu Ya's capital, how can the infected occupy Xu Ya's capital, no matter how you say it, it is heavily guarded."
"It's still the day of the National Day, and the infected organization is really good at picking time."
This news was like a gust of wind, blowing all over the streets and alleys of Mecha City at once, and people couldn't help but be a little nervous while discussing, this time it was Damascus, and next time, would it be another city.
White stands at his desk in the presidential office in the White House.
"What's going on?" The president threw information about the situation in Damascus in White's face.
White was silent, he knew that the "Black Mist" had been on the verge of moving, but this attack on Damascus really caught him a little off guard, and what surprised him even more was that Damascus was really lost, which means that now the control of this Xuya capital is in the hands of the infected.
"I don't care what your reason is, now go and negotiate with the leaders of the black body organization you have contacted, and demand that they withdraw from Damascus."
"If they don't agree, then just terminate their cooperation!"
The president kicked over the table in front of him and roared.
