Chapter Seventy-Eight: Attack on Titan
After Dijang endured the pain in his feet and left the barracks, he saw several flares fired in the sky, making a long "snort" sound, illuminating the entire night sky. The commander of the Dijang Dispatch Army looked at the assembled group of dispatch troops, put his hands on his waist, and ordered: "General Cromwell's order, let us be responsible for the defense of the E section of the city wall. Dijang, you take your men up the E2 wall! ”
"Understood!"
When Dijean climbed the city wall with his own men with a limp, he saw more than a dozen helicopter gunships in the base rising into the air and flying into the distance, and the British gunners on the city wall also aimed their guns in that direction. When the searchlight swept past the night, hundreds of humans dressed in animal skins, standing in a loose formation, armed with sticks and stone weapons, appeared under the city wall and rushed towards the wall.
"Humans?"
Just when Dirang was puzzled, he heard a roar of "roar", and the moment the searchlight shone on them, those human-sized humans turned into a giant with a height of 6 or 7 stories in the blink of an eye, roaring and rushing towards the base.
"Fire!"
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Bang! Bang! Bang! "Da Da Da!"
Bullets and artillery fire shot at the giant from the walls in an instant, and everywhere there were sparks of explosions, and everywhere there were bullets that streaked through the night. A giant picked up a huge stone and threw it towards the turret on the city wall, and with a "bang", it directly smashed the turret on the city wall. After all, it wasn't a proper turret, just a platform with a gun or anti-tank gun on it, and no armor. And the artillerymen who operated the artillery next to them also stoned the giants to death, smashed to a blur of flesh and blood, and some were crushed by the boulders, lying on the ground wailing.
Of course, the giant couldn't get good fruit to eat, and when he was shot, his arm was directly broken, and the blood was spilled in an instant, and he lay on the ground screaming. Some were directly hit in the thigh, and they stumbled and fell headlong. Others were directly hit in the head, and their heads were directly blown up.
While ordering the soldiers of his battalion to fire back, Dijang looked at the commander of the artillery next to him and complained: "Damn, these giants have turned into normal human sizes and used the cover of night to sneak under the city walls. If they sneak in, it's going to be a problem. ”
The helicopter gunships in the sky hovered high, and the cannons and rockets hit the giants below with precision. Although the city walls were attacked by giants, the casualties were not too great, and the cannon fire from the turrets on the city walls beat these giants to the point that they were powerless.
After just over ten minutes of attack, after the giants left behind dozens of corpses, the giants completely retreated. Naturally, the infantry on the walls of the base could not chase these fast giants, after all, the giants were running at full speed about the same as the car that pressed the accelerator pedal to the end. However, the gunship did not give up its intention to continue attacking the giants, and when it arrived at the base, it was not so easy to run away after loading the uncle.
The helicopter gunship followed all the way, and after killing more than 30 enemies, it had to return because of lack of ammunition. Dijang on the city wall began to count the casualties of his battalion, because of the giant's throwing attack, 3 people in his battalion died, 24 were injured by stones, the wounded are not a big problem, and after a little treatment, they can be alive again.
Dijean looked at the other defenders on the wall, and the casualties were about the same as his own. Just a hundred giants can inflict such casualties, and if they meet more troops, wouldn't the casualties be even greater. It's no wonder that when he first arrived here, General Cromwell said that Titan is the planet with the highest death rate of all nations.
At this time, Cromwell also climbed the city wall, leaned on the edge of the city wall, looked at the corpses of the giants below, and said indifferently: "Your group of dispatched troops is not bad, but they were only attacked by hundreds of giants. You must know that when the second batch of troops first arrived, they encountered a joint attack by several tribes, and the casualties were quite large. ”
Dijean looked at Cromwell in surprise, no wonder the first and second batches are now only more than 15,000 people in total, you must know that these two batches of troops have 20,000 people, but they didn't expect a quarter to die.
Cromwell glanced at Dirang, the major officer of the Dispatch Army, opened his mouth and said, "The Giants are quite intelligent, and they will learn slowly in the war. Initially, we planned to bombard their villages with missiles and artillery, but after a few bombardments, the effect was no longer noticeable. Because they became the size of normal people, they evaded our detection, and abandoned the village and settled in small groups. ”
Cromwell thought back to the first two attacks and muttered, "The first time the Giants attacked us with a few hundred men from two or three tribes, but they were defeated miserably, and we were almost wiped out before we could touch the wall, and only a few escaped back." However, the second time they united the surrounding tribes, and when they attacked, they were scattered in formation, reducing our firepower, and began to drive the beasts to attack us. However, they were spotted by our satellites during the process, and after a burst of artillery bombardment, their attack was dispersed. But the third and fourth times, they learned to use the ability to shrink, turned into normal human size, sneaked under the city walls, and after transforming into giants, they attacked us, and we lost a lot of money in these two attacks. And this time, they actually learned to use the night to sneak over, which is terrible, but the war has taught them a lot. ”
Dee Jean was amazed that the giant was so smart. Cromwell smiled and said, "This attack of hundreds of people should be just their tentative attack, and there must be a big move behind." Let's go, let's clean up the battlefield. ”
“…… Be! ”
Naturally, the task of cleaning up the battlefield fell to the dispatchers and the Medusa soldiers, who wanted to make sure that the giants who had fallen to the ground had really been killed. If not, then plant a bomb on their heads and kill them.
As several explosions rang out on the battlefield, Dijang knew that it was a giant clan that was not yet dead and had been killed with a bomb. Dijang also limped along, and suddenly found a giantess wearing animal skins in front of him, but the size of a normal person. Dejean was a little strange, this giant transformation could still shrink and enlarge the things they were wearing?
"Stay vigilant! Go up and have a look! Dijean hurriedly tilted his head and asked a few soldiers to follow him forward to check. Dijean turned on the flashlight and shone the light on the woman. He was about 14 years old, with short brown hair and a mess. The face looks ordinary because there is no cosmetics to maintain it, but if you recuperate a little, it must be a beautiful embryo. Dijang looked at the body wrapped in animal skin, swallowed his saliva, squatted down to check the woman's body, and then turned on the radio and said: "Report to the base, this is Dijang Camp, and found a fainted Giant Clan woman, with no obvious scars on her body, normal human size." ”
Soon Dijean received Cromwell's order: "It should be the giants who have not had time to become giants and were stunned by the cannonballs, Dijang, bind her, this is an excellent object to study." ”
