At the entrance and exit of the interprovincial highway, to the north is a relatively gentle snowfield.

And at this moment, the thousand-man team under the command of Black Snake is marching slowly on this snowy field.

Although he failed to convince Black Snake to make a more cautious strategic choice, after all, it was the same boat, and Vides still carefully planned the marching route.

He chose to go straight south, bypassing the large forests and steep slopes on the west side, entering the interprovincial highway and then heading west, cutting off the connection between the long farm and the northern suburbs of Qingquan City.

The actual distance of this route will be slightly longer.

But it's also more practical.

The back seat of an armored pickup.

Vides spread a map on his knees, and his index finger moved across the map, drawing an arc around the front of their marching route.

“…… Directly west of us is the forest where Camp Winterwillow is located, and unsurprisingly the survivors there had been evacuated more than a month ago. ”

"Our target is the interprovincial highway due south, and after advancing there, the next road will be a flat river."

"If the intelligence is correct, there should be a survivor colony there."

"Even if they're probably gone, we'll still be able to find something there that works."

"It will get dark in about two hours, and we can rest there for the night before continuing west. If the situation is optimistic, we should be able to reach the Long Farm by noon tomorrow, and if they don't blow it up, we should be able to get a fort on the northern outskirts of Clear Springs City, and get ahead of your allies as you wish. ”

Black Snake touched his chin with a satisfied expression on his face.

He believed in the professional competence of his staff officers.

However, he still has some questions about the plan.

As Vides spoke of his plan, Black Snake's gaze lingered on a red mark on the map.

It is the ecological experiment base of Zhongzhou Aerospace, and it is also an easy to defend and difficult to attack high ground, which not only has a complete wall to use as a cover, but also a complete building to shelter from the wind and rain.

Black Snake remembers very well that more than a month ago, Vides strongly recommended it to him as a springboard for them to attack the northern outskirts of Qingquan City.

However, for some reason, this time his staff officer completely ignored the feng shui treasure and did not say a word about it from the beginning of the whole operation.

It's like forgetting about it.

"Why don't we just station at the ecological experiment base of Zhongzhou Aerospace? It was a high ground that was just right for our artillery to be deployed. ”

Vades shook his head and said.

"It's a good location, but it's too flat from there to Chang Farm."

Black Snake wondered.

"Isn't that a good thing?"

Vides said.

"Of course it's a good thing for them, they will arrive sooner than we do, and they will take the high ground and wait for us to walk in their faces."

Sounds like it makes sense.

The Black Snake nodded thoughtfully, shifted his gaze to the east-west highway on the map, and continued to ask.

"And what if they ambush us on both sides of the road?"

Vides sighed and replied patiently.

"The interprovincial highway is relatively high on both sides, and no one is stupid enough to ambush the people on the top of the mountain at the foot of the mountain, so we only need to divide one team to search for explosives and traps on the ground in front, and then divide two teams to search forward along the gentle slopes on both sides of the road, and we can make sure that nothing goes wrong."

This guy always asks questions that people don't know how to answer.

Vides felt like his head was big.

However, unlike his headache, after getting a satisfactory answer, Black Snake said with a happy expression on his face.

"Victory seems to be at hand."

"Yes, if everything goes as planned."

Vides closed the map in his hand and looked out the window at the white snow.

The brow furrowed slightly.

The uneasiness in his heart grew stronger.

If the survivors in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City are going to stop them, now is probably the last and only chance.

Once they let their convoy drive from the wilderness onto the road, the opponent will lose all chance of winning, and there will be no chance of stopping them.

But......

It's also not easy to ambush them here.

He deliberately chose the entrance to the road, which was not so close to the long farm.

Even if the other party finds them and reacts immediately after receiving the warning, it is unlikely that they will get here before they do.

Would you like to send a few people over first?

Just as Vides was just thinking this, there was a sudden bang in the distance from the southeast of the convoy.

Immediately after that, there was a whoosh, and the shells seemed to land in the middle of the convoy.

There seems to be the location of the tank.

Vides's face changed slightly.

The black snake sitting next to him reacted quickly enough, and saw that this guy had already grabbed the walkie-talkie in his hand and yelled angrily.

"Special mother, dare to ambush Lao Tzu's convoy!"

"Call Lao Tzu!"

……

Bang——!

The muzzle of the gun spewed thick tongues of fire, and the sound of explosion echoed across the snowfield.

A 20mm steel-core armor-piercing bullet drew an orange-yellow trajectory in the air, like lightning, and slammed into the tank 500 meters away.

Sparks burst out.

With a crisp snap, the heavy tracks were broken and slipped off the load-bearing wheels uncontrollably. The moving tank then lost power and broke down in the snow.

The marauders next to them were all stupid.

Obviously, they didn't expect that someone would dare to attack them.

And it's also a shot at that invincible steel behemoth!

Looking away from the scope, the construction site boy and brick, who were lying in the snow, waved his fist excitedly and cheered uncontrollably.

"Hahaha! The tank is broken! Lao Tzu hit! ”

If you look closely, the tank looks pretty bluffing.

The nearly eight-meter-long body, with its thick barrel and angular body, lies on the snow like a steel beast.

However, this thing was not as difficult to deal with as imagined, and it actually broke the track in one shot, and even the construction site boy and the brick himself were surprised.

He had thought at least a few more shots......

It's a pity that there are no teammates nearby who can give him a high-five.

Before the marauders could figure out what was going on, he quickly pulled out the smoking shells, stuffed a further armor-piercing shell into the chamber, and fired another shot at the tank's turret.

If you can break the turret, this thing will be a piece of scrap metal!

However, his idea was good.

But unfortunately, the 20mm caliber is still too small.

The second shell that hit the turret, like a toothpick stuck in the wall, was skimmed out without any suspense and flew into the sky.

“mmp！”

"It's time to change to a high level and beat people!"

With the second shot, the marauders finally spotted him and began to scream and fire at him.

From a distance of five hundred meters, bullets whizzed in.

Unhurriedly put away the bipod of the "riding gun", and before the muzzle of the tank was moved, the construction boy and the brick quickly shifted positions.

Almost as soon as he left his combat position, a high-explosive bomb hit his previous position.

The snowflakes were blown up more than ten meters high, and the two pine trees on the side were directly broken in two, fell on the snow slope, and rolled down the slope.

Looking at the snow and mist rising from afar, the players who were ambushed not far away showed surprised expressions on their faces.

"! This caliber is estimated to be 80mm upwards. ”

"Be confident, get rid of the estimate."

"Mom...... Are you saying the construction site guy is still alive? ”

"He's also an awakened person, and he's also a power system, so it's not so easy to finish the calf." Edge paddling looked at the big eyes next to him, and continued, "The tank is handed over to you, be steady, we are just a robot, there is only one chance." ”

With big eyes connected to the device, they are closing their eyes tightly at the moment.

His consciousness had already connected to the "reptile" deployed in front of him, and the four rapidly waving mechanical legs were shuttling under the snow with their bodies.

The goal is ahead!

Although he couldn't see it, he could feel it clearly!

The hand had already grasped the detonator, and the debt big eyes gently spat out a mouthful of white mist.

"Don't worry."

"Steady batch!"

……

Sudden attack.

The ranks of the Marauders were in disarray.

They obviously had no experience in dealing with such a situation, and the whole bloated team suddenly squeezed into a crooked ball on the snow like centipedes.

However, their combat quality is still good, and their reaction is quite fast.

Having confirmed the direction of the attack, the tank with the broken track first turned the turret and fired a shot in the direction from which the shell was fired, and then the coaxial machine gun next to the barrel suddenly swept there.

Bullets splash strings of snowflakes on the snowy slopes.

If there had been anyone there just now, they would have died and could not die again!

"Little ones, give it to me!"

"Find me the rat who attacked us!"

"xx xx, I'm going to peel off his skin and make it into a sofa!"

At the roar of a marauder centurion, four ten-man squads immediately set off and made their way to the snowy slope five hundred meters away.

See the fire in the distance stop.

A crew member climbed out of the top of the tank, carrying a toolbox in his hand, and began to repair the detached tracks.

The black snake sitting on an armored pickup with irritation written all over his face.

Half a minute ago, he received information from the tank crew that the tank's tracks had been broken and it would take some time to fix them.

Because of just one attacker, the whole team had to stop.

"I suggest that the infantry be dispersed and the area searched carefully," Vides suggested cautiously, looking at him, "and there is likely to be more than one attacker. ”

Black Snake said impatiently.

"When I find that guy, I'll figure out how many flies there are."

The repair of the tracks is progressing well.

The tank will soon be able to get back on the ground.

Raising his arm and rubbing the oil on his forehead, the marauder who had dismounted from the car earlier was about to put the last piece of the piece on it.

However, at this moment, he suddenly noticed that something seemed to be moving in the snow beside him.

Is it a rat?

That is, in a stunned moment, the little guy had slipped under the chassis of the tank under the cover of the snow.

"What's that?"

Alertly, he pulled out the pistol he had stuck in his waist, crouched down, his face pressed against the snow, and was about to see what it was, when he got underneath the tank.

However, the snow on the ground was too thick.

The thing had gotten under the tank's chassis and then stopped moving, as if it had disappeared out of thin air, so much so that he couldn't help but wonder if he was mistaken.

At this time, the captain's urging voice came from the roof of the car.

"Is it fixed?"

He answered.

"Soon, right away."

The commander continued to urge, his voice carrying a hint of warning.

"You'd better hurry, keep Lord Black Snake waiting too long, you know what the consequences will be."

He said perfunctorily.

"Okay, okay, I got it."

Is it a delusion?

The marauder was suspicious, but he didn't have time to climb in to make sure.

Got up from the ground.

However, just as he picked up his tools again and was about to finish the work at hand, a flash of fire suddenly burst out from under the chassis of the tank.

It's like a gas stove lit.

In an instant, before he had time to react, the shockwave of the explosion hit his chest, blowing him out of the air!

Boom ——!

The flames and smoke of the explosion engulfed the entire tank, and the furious waves of air pushed it off the ground.

The twisted steel shattered inch by inch, and the leaking fuel tank was ignited by the scorching heat, and exploded along with the ammunition rack, triggering a tragic secondary explosion.

It was a miserable scene.

Caught off guard, a centurion was killed on the spot, and nearly twenty or so marauders around him were instantly engulfed in the flames of the explosion.

Stumps and severed arms flew around.

For a time the ground was full of wailing.

It's like purgatory!

"Awesome !!"

Witnessing the situation ahead through the binoculars, he paddled on the edge of the slope and punched the snow beside him excitedly.

Not far away, the debtor's big eyes shook his head, and he dropped on the spot, but soon he logged back again, shaking his heavy head and muttering.

“mmp…… Why did it fall off again? ”

At the same time, the black snake sitting in the armored pickup truck had red eyes for a moment, and his pupils were bloodshot.

Staring out of the window with tears in his eyes, he only felt that his heart was like a knife, and the knife was dripping blood!

That's the tank that the leader gave him!

It is also his biggest reliance!

The reason why the thousand-strong team led by him was able to attack the city all the way, from the middle of the river valley province to the south, and swept through the entire province like a hurricane, at least half of the credit had to be attributed to it!

And now, that tank has been reduced to scrap metal......

How dare those people!

How dare they!

"I'm going to kill them!"

"I'm going to chop them into pieces and chop them into puree!"

Listening to the angry roar of the black snake, the driver sitting in front of him trembled, and he didn't dare to take a breath, for fear of being used as a punching bag to vent his anger.

Vides, who was sitting next to the black snake, was completely stunned at the moment.

“…… What was that just now? ”

He whispered it to him, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

Without the slightest warning.

All he saw was a burst of fire, and then the Legion's proud "Conqueror" was blown to scrap metal.

That power......

There are also at least 10 kg of t-en-t.

Maybe even more!

A drop of cold sweat slid across his forehead, and Vides, who realized the seriousness of the problem, suddenly came back to his senses.

He immediately looked at the black snake sitting beside him, and roared loudly, ignoring the anger on the tyrant's face.

"Quick! Bring back all the six hundred-man teams you sent out earlier! ”

We're only halfway there.

Dense gunfire came from the fan-shaped area ahead.

Bullets whistled like a torrent of bullets, and at least ten light machine guns—and even more automatic weapons—unleashed ferocious fire on them.

The biggest threat has been removed!

No need to hide anymore.

Prostrate in the snow, holding on to a light machine gun on a snowy slope, paddling on the edge and desperately pulling the trigger, yelling loudly.

"Brothers!"

"Hit me hard!"

The fire from the muzzle of the gun illuminated the face of the debtor big eye red, and the index finger seemed to be welded to the trigger, and the voice shouted excitedly.

"Whoa!"

Bullets whizzed around the position, and a few even landed on the steel plates of the armored pickup, and the hood of the hit rattled!

Before he could recover from the previous explosion, he was hit head-on again, and the entire convoy was completely in disarray.

The elongated team did not care about each other, and it was not possible to retreat in the snow, nor was it to retreat, and it was a dilemma for a while.

Fortunately, Vides was an experienced staff officer, and although the sudden attack caught him off guard, it didn't throw him out of order.

Vides, who snatched the walkie-talkie from Black Snake and took over the command, gave several orders in succession, barely controlling the chaotic situation.

The marauders are discovering it, too.

The other side seems to be huge, but in fact there are not many people.

The four armored pickup trucks with tires swirling in the snow finally drove to the front of the convoy, and four vehicle-mounted machine guns welded with steel plates fired wildly at the snow slope 500 meters away, and quickly suppressed the opposite side.

Led by a centurion, one hundred and twenty marauders scattered into twelve squads and surrounded the front.

The bayonet shone brightly in the snow, like the fangs of a wild beast.

Their eyes gleamed with bloodthirsty light, like wolves surrounding their prey.

"Tear them apart!"

"Chop off their heads! Kill them in the most brutal way possible! ”

"Let those rats in the gutter know what will happen if you anger Lord Black Snake!"

The centurion roared, urging his men forward.

However, at this moment, a piercing scream suddenly came from above their heads.

The centurion subconsciously raised his head, and then his eyes widened, and his originally bloodthirsty pupils were replaced by the color of fear in an instant.

I saw rockets one after another, dragging a thick tail flame across the sky, like a rain of fire falling from the sky, bringing the afterglow of the setting sun to the ground.

He screamed, threw himself into the snow, and shouted with all his strength.

"Hidden ——!"

The rockets did not fall on his head.

Instead, it fell behind him and slammed heavily on the positions in the rear.

The flames of the explosion sparkled in a single stream, shrapnel flew wildly across the clearing, and the boiling heat seemed to ignite the snow and burn the psychological defenses of the marauders.

Looking at the sea of fire behind him, the centurion lying on the ground, the fear in his heart gradually turned into despair, and he lost the last trace of courage to move forward.

At this moment, a sharp whistle came from all directions, sweeping through the entire snowfield. In the thick of the smoke, he saw his men turn their backs to the enemy and flee, then be shot in the snow.

The rear was attacked.

The armored pickups covering their attack seemed to want to withdraw to help, but the snow was almost under their hoods.

Trying to control tires stuck in the snow was harder than they thought.

In the distance, there was the sound of a thumping cannon, and an armored pickup truck was shot through the fuel tank by an incendiary projectile, followed by a second, then a third......

Faintly, the centurion, who had buried his head in the snow, heard shouts of killing like the waves of the sea.

He couldn't understand what those people were shouting.

I don't even know how many of them there are.

He only knew that the speed of this war might end faster than Lord Black Snake imagined.

Maybe it won't take tomorrow at all.

Hopefully, tonight, they'll be able to spend the night in the survivors' houses......
