Chapter XXXVIII: The Decision of the Old Soldier
8 p.m., Yamashiro Railway Station.
Groups of heavily armed soldiers, loaded with guns and live ammunition, were patrolling back and forth, surrounded by sentry posts, and heavy multi-barreled rotary machine guns were erected on each sentry post, giving an atmosphere as if they were facing a great enemy.
In order to deal with this possible beast attack, except for the special transport train from the military, starting this morning, all trains passing through the mountain city have been warned not to enter the mountain city area.
Not long before this, Guan Zheng took Zhan Jingyi and Candle Dragon to the Shancheng Railway Station, and heard that it had already passed, and there was indeed a train that had lost contact since 6 o'clock in the evening, suspecting that it might have been attacked by a fierce beast.
Considering that there were almost 300 soldiers and more than 100 civilians on that train, if they were attacked by a fierce beast, the soldiers would only have simple standard weapons and lack the support of heavy firepower, I am afraid it would be difficult to confront the fierce beast.
Hearing this news, Zhan Jingyi said that he could go to support, and Candle Dragon was going to go with him, but he was stopped by Guan Zheng, because the big war was about to start, and the defense of the railway station was more important.
At present, the defense of the railway station is also relatively weak, and there are not many heavy weapons, so if you encounter a large-scale fierce beast, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold on.
Especially in case of a second-level fierce beast attacking, there must be a mutant to resist the attack, otherwise it will definitely be defeated.
After discussion, it was decided that Candle Dragon would stay at the train station, and Zhan Jingyi would take a hundred soldiers with heavy firepower to search all the way along the railway line, and if he found that the fierce beast was attacking the train, he could support it in time.
After the discussion, considering that the brigade was moving slowly, Zhan Jingyi took a step first, and the brigade could slowly follow.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and there was no movement.
Guan Zheng and Candle Dragon watched the passage of time little by little, and couldn't help but feel anxious, looking at the end of the pitch-black railway from time to time.
Looking up at the time on the bell tower, Guan Zheng frowned, pacing in place with his hands behind his back, his voice anxious.
"The train has been delayed for three hours and thirteen minutes, could it be that there is really a fierce beast on the way?"
"Have you contacted the War King?" Guan Zheng turned his head to look at a young officer on the side and asked.
"Not yet, it seems that the signal over there is very poor." The young officer replied, sweating profusely.
"Keep connecting." Guan Zheng was walking back and forth in a hurry, and he couldn't contact the War King for a long time, which made him very anxious.
After he said this, the candle dragon was also a little impatient, and muttered to himself: "Next time, you must not stay, this is really in a hurry, it is better to go and fight." ”
Before the words fell, the noise of the train could be heard faintly from far away.
Guan Zheng's expression was suddenly shocked, and he said, "Go and notify the medical team, let them be on standby with their equipment nearby, and the others will check their weapons and stand by on standby!" ”
Suddenly, someone ran quickly and gave the order.
……
A minute later.
A scarred train, with less than half of the original 26 carriages left, struggled into the mountain city railway station.
At this time, the sentry inside the railway station shines the light of high-power lights on the train.
On the train, there were large pools of blood, dried up on the windows.
The bodies of the cars distorted by supernatural forces have been hit, bent, and dented by the giant hammer, and the doors of some of the carriages have long since disappeared, and so far, only a few of the rear carriages are still intact.
To the horror of the soldiers present, pieces of charred or frozen flesh stuck to the outside of the car.
Even...... Some soldiers found that there was a small half of a human limb, stirred in the wheels of the train, slowly rolling with the train.
With a "whoosh", a screeching sound of brakes sounded, and the train began to brake and slow down.
The deafening train whistle of the past is also like the painful cry of a dying man in today's scene, which is breathtaking.
Guan Zheng and Candle Dragon both reached out to hold their pistols and aimed at the gate of the nearest carriage, lest a fierce beast jump out of it.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers standing on one side also took out their weapons one after another, and they were on full alert.
Even a number of heavy multi-barrel rotary machine guns on the sentry began to aim at the carriage doors.
As long as there is something wrong, the gunfire like a chain of fire will cover the whole field.
The whistle dissipated.
The silence on the platform was like death, and the atmosphere was oppressive, as if it could be suffocated at any time.
"Bang!" A loud bang was heard.
The iron door of a carriage was forcefully opened, and the extremely harsh noise made all the soldiers, Guan Zheng, and Candle Dragon tremble slightly.
Soon, all weapons and eyes were on the place where the sound came.
I saw that at the gate, a pair of blood-stained left hands grabbed the door frame, as if using all their strength......
Thenceforth.
A slightly staggered figure appeared in the doorway.
Seeing the figure, the candle dragon subconsciously rushed forward, his forearm muscles tensed, and he was ready to rescue and fight.
However, when he saw the military uniform on this figure, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and slowly put down the gun in his hand.
After the figure in military uniform appeared, there were many embarrassed figures, and slowly walked out of the carriage, there were soldiers in military uniforms, and there were also many civilian passengers.
The candle dragon turned around and shouted in incredible words, "Medical team, damn ......, hurry up and get the medical team over!" ”
The first to get out of the carriage was none other than the recruit Wang Bing.
He had a severe scratch on his right arm, and when he got out of the carriage, he was half-kneeling on the ground, and he had no strength to get up.
Grabbing the candle dragon who ran to his side quickly, he said in a weak voice: "Hurry up and save people, in addition, the war king has a very important message, let me report to the adjutant in charge." ”
"But your injuries..."
Wang Bing, a recruit who was originally shy, stared at the bloodshot eyes, grabbed the collar of the candle dragon, his voice was hoarse, his expression seemed to be on the verge of collapse, and he yelled: "Take me to see him!" ”
As a candle dragon who is not weak among the mutants, at this moment, he actually shocked an ordinary soldier.
……
Fifteen minutes later, the temporary command center of the mountain city, inside the largest tent in the center.
An old soldier in a federal uniform, with gray hair, was holding a telegram that had just been sent back from the mountain city train station, his eyes flashing with wisdom, and he was studying the contents of the message word by word.
"Isn't the War King's move a bit hasty? Wouldn't our strategic plan be completely disrupted? ”
A staff officer who had read the contents of the message spoke cautiously, and as he spoke, several other staff officers began to express their opinions, most of whom disagreed with the actions expressed in the message.
The old soldier slowly placed the message on the table, which he had read three times, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table, and lit it.
Then he took a hard puff, and seemed to be thinking about something as he smoked his cigarette.
Seeing the demeanor of the veterans, the staff officers who have followed the veterans for a long time know that once they encounter a difficult problem, the veterans will smoke and fall into thinking as they do now.
At this time, everyone just needs to be quiet and wait for the final decision of the old soldier.
As long as you think clearly, once a veteran has made a decision, the decision is often correct.
The past ten years have proven this, otherwise, the old soldier would not be called the god of the federal army.
Everyone sat silently in place, waiting for the veteran's final decision.
Not long after, when the old soldier smoked the third cigarette to the remaining 1/3, he seemed to have a straight expression, as if he had made up his mind, and pressed the remaining half of the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray.
He fanned the smoke in front of him with his hand, looked around at the many staff officers around, and said, "I order." ”
As soon as these words came out, many staff officers suddenly became serious.
The veteran said: "Ten minutes later, the artillery unit will be bombarded with extended artillery fire to the established coordinates and all the ammunition will be fired out for me, leaving no shots." ”
"The telegram ordered the Blue Sword Special Forces and the Eagle Special Forces to launch an attack on the fierce beasts in Yushan immediately according to the original plan after the artillery fire stopped."
The staff officer in charge of recording the scene solemnly transcribed the two orders clearly, and after showing them to the veteran soldiers, and after the veteran soldiers signed them and took effect, a telegraph officer immediately conveyed the orders through the radio.
A gust of wind blew through the table, and the telegram on the table revealed the text, which read, After the war king solved the three-eyed giant wolf that attacked the train, he went to Yushan, and left a message before leaving, in order to solve the problem of the mountain city as soon as possible, this trip will kill the head of the beast, the hundred-zhang eagle falcon, please decide the time to send troops for yourself.
"Sir, wouldn't that be a bit risky? After all, some of our equipment hasn't arrived yet, so we're in a hurry to attack in case ......"
A middle-aged staff officer approached the veteran and voiced his opinion.
"War has never been certain, I can stand in the Federation for 20 years, without defeat, only one thing I have learned, that is, the battlefield is changeable, and you need to have courage and courage to seize that moment."
"This kind of opportunity is rare, and it is difficult to seize, so sometimes we have to judge the situation, see the opportunity, and make a decision immediately, if this time the king of war can kill, even if it is to lure away the hundred zhang falcon, then our victory rate is extremely great."
"And the king of war...... I believe in him! ”
The sonorous and powerful voice of the veteran soldier came, which made the staff officers present feel the confidence and determination of the veteran soldier.
As the order was delivered, the barracks soon burst into tears, and one military vehicle after another sped away.
A big war is about to break out!!
