Chapter 227: Nothing Happened All Night

By the time Lieutenant Hansen and his troops retreated to the appointed position, the sun was no longer visible in the sky, except for a small beautiful red glow on the horizon, which had colored many of the city's high-rise buildings the same color. (23[x] In the distance, the strange lilac crystals that covered the surfaces of various buildings reflected a more vivid glow as if they did not belong to this world, and looked almost like the scenery of an alien planet.

This scenery can be taken directly to the movie, and it is definitely more realistic than those backgrounds that are made with special effects. The lieutenant couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart, but quickly shifted his mind from the scenery to the current battle situation, and then frowned deeply.

The city of Sekir could not be defended, and in fact, the lieutenant and others had no chance to defend the city from the beginning. These monsters infiltrated many ships at sea, attacked and somehow "multiplied" their companions when they entered the harbor, and when the large army began to march towards the city, the monsters lurking in the ships jumped out as vanguards, causing great obstacles to the army's initial defenses.

Failure to keep the enemy at bay on the beach is a failure.

The only good news is that the monsters don't seem to have air support, at least not for the time being, and they lack long-range heavy firepower, so it's not an exaggeration to say that they're a bunch of people in heavy armor armed with automatic rifles and individual anti-armor laser weapons. However, it is these strange things with heavy armor and thick armor that have caused a lot of casualties to the Federation army with all kinds of advanced equipment, and the main reason is that the enemy has a jaw-dropping ability to maneuver. It can even come and go freely on the surface of a building like an insect crawling against a wall.

The Federation dispatched a large number of warplanes, including drones, and did not hesitate to use heavy artillery to bombard their cities, destroying almost half of the city, and only then did the ground troops successfully disengage from the other side before dark. Since it was not clear what the enemy's ability to fight at night was, the command decided not to try to counterattack at night for the first time, but to focus on consolidating the defensive line.

The brutal battle lasted all day, and even an officer like Hansen, who had actual combat experience, lost an infantry fighting vehicle and more than a dozen good brothers, and as for the other rookies who were on the battlefield for the first time today, the situation was even more serious.

But now is not the time to give up and retreat, and the evacuation of a metropolis with a population of a million people is not so quickly completed.

At the designated meeting point, a wide four-way junction in a residential area, Hansen met his immediate superior, Colonel Kjer. And Captain Thomas, who was not very well received by the colonel. Of course, not to be seen. Kleer still counts Thomas when making plans to carry out missions, after all, his armored forces are a fairly important force.

Originally, this four-way intersection could be used to park all kinds of vehicles and mechs, or as a temporary storage place for supplies, but the front half of a slightly tilted hip was already shattered by the raptor and the traces left by its gliding on the ground as it fell, so Kjer only asked Hansen and Thomas to come over for a meeting. I don't plan to stay here any longer.

This hapless fighter was shot down by a "laser". I wonder what happened to the pilot?, Hansen shook his head, and threw the distractions out of his mind. Yan sΓΉ looked at the slightly bald man in front of him, but the whole person looked energetic and high-spirited, and he stood up and saluted, "Mr. Colonel, Lieutenant Hansen is here to report to you. ”

"It's good to be here. Kjer didn't care about these etiquette, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned two of his men to the battle map hanging from the tail of the Raptor to the war. Pointing to the dazzling array of red and blue arrows and circles and forks on it, he said, "In special times, it is easiest to use the soil method, so you will just take a look at the map." Now we are in this position, with the troops of our old friend Colonel Charlie right next to us, and we are tasked with holding the line of defense from the subway station to this residential area, at least not before dawn. Any questions?"

Captain Thomas's abilities are actually quite good, but he has a rather strict shortcoming, that is, he is afraid of trouble, avoids danger, fights for fame, and likes to shirk responsibility. Personally, there's nothing wrong with that, but Thomas is also an officer, so that's a serious matter.

So the colonel has always been very unkind to see him, and he thought that he would apply for this guy to be transferred after transferring to other cities this time, but who expected that he would encounter this incident as soon as he came out of the base.

At this time, it was Thomas who was the first to ask: "So Colonel, what kind of support can we get?"

"Uninterrupted flares, the Air Force also continued to sortie at night, and the artillery in the rear was also on standby. "But don't expect that to turn things around, because we don't have the most critical ground reinforcements." All the reserves in the base were replenished to the troops with the heaviest casualties, and troops like ours, who lost less than one-fifth of their wounds, could only be regarded as minor injuries in comparison, and belonged to the kind of delayed treatment. ”

Colonel, what are you complaining about, is it definitely true? Hansen opened his mouth, and finally swallowed hard and said, "Got it." What exactly are we supposed to do later?"

Kjer turned his gaze back to the map and gestured with his hand, saying, "Thomas, you are in charge of defending this city. It's on the main road leading to the residential area, and if the enemy still chooses to attack at night, there are bound to be a lot of monsters at that time, and they're just right for your armor to deal with. And Hansen, your mission is to defend the flank park, which is not too important, but it will be a problem for the opponent to take a detour from the park and attack our rear. I'm in charge of the subway station, do you understand?"

Thomas immediately complained, "But Colonel, my armor has been badly beaten during the day......"

"I don't care if your armor is shattered by those monsters, but we still have a task to do. Kjer unceremoniously interrupted Thomas, "Just answer yes or no, don't talk useless nonsense there." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"Very well, get out of front of me right now. ”

This kind of conversation used to be heard several times a day during training and exercises, and Hansen didn't know what to say about it, so he could only look at the two of them in embarrassment. And Thomas seemed to have gotten used to Kjer's treatment of him like this, silently crawling into a tank not far away with his head down.

"That's right, Hansen. Just as the lieutenant was about to leave, the colonel suddenly stopped him, "I'll give you a Tiger Hunting Mecha just in case, after all, the enemy is not human, and he may take some unexpected action." ”

"I'll be watchful, Colonel. Hansen nodded and replied earnestly.

Hansen took his troops and the precious Tiger Hunter Mecha and blew the cold wind in the park all night until dawn. The amethyst monsters didn't attack at night, the neighborhoods they occupied were as quiet as graves, and in the middle of the night the command organized a tentative attack, but they were quickly met with a strong counterattack and finally beaten back.

Obviously, the enemy's movement will be limited at night, but this does not prevent them from beating the humans who take the initiative to find fault with them.

After the sun rose, gunfire rang out in the distance. The monster launched another large-scale attack, and the humans who used the precious time of the night to build a good defense line naturally refused to back down lightly, and the two sides of the needle tip against Mai Mang immediately broke out into a fierce confrontation.

However, the park is so quiet that only the occasional helicopter flying overhead can break the silence.

Hansen had no choice but to use the GuΓ² radio to find out what was going on elsewhere.

"Colonel Kjer, this is Thomas. We were besieged by a large number of enemy troops, and even artillery and air attacks could not stop the advance. I have already lost four tanks and one mech, and all three platoons are gone, so I ask for an immediate retreat!"

Kjer's annoyed voice immediately sounded: "Shut up Thomas, you defend the city for me, and you are not allowed to retreat a step! It is a traffic artery, and once we are breached, we can only abandon the entire defense line!"

"We have suffered heavy casualties, and the consumption of ammunition is very serious, we must retreat!" Thomas shouted over the radio, "I can't joke with the lives of my men, the city will be evacuated in 1o minutes." ”

"Hell, Thomas, hold my ground, it's a direct order from the Commander!"

However, the Captain appears to have cut off contact and has not responded.

"Colonel, I'm Hansen. Do you want me to go over and reinforce Captain Thomas?" said Hansen cautiously.

"No, you'd better be ready to retreat. Kjer took a few deep breaths and said, "It's not a matter of a day or two to drop the chain at that critical moment when the soul is faint, and it is estimated that he will still insist on retreating if you go......"

It turns out that even the iron-blooded Mr. Colonel will have superficial times, and before Kjer could finish speaking, Thomas's voice sounded on the radio again, but his tone was full of surprise: "Colonel, Colonel!

"What kind of nerve are you doing, did you take some kind of magical little blue pill?"

"No, no, no, it's the vanguard of the Tang Empire that has come to reinforce it!"
