The first thousand five hundred and sixty-eight chapters are in trouble
Kiel lowered his head and fled back to his position. He then set up the machine gun in his hand as quickly as possible, then pushed the gun bolt hard. With a "crack" sound, the bullet was loaded into the barrel of the gun.
He lowered his body, put his shoulder on the butt of the gun, and pressed his right cheek tightly against the handguard of the machine gun. He aimed at the death knell beetle in the distance through the sight ring, and put his finger on the trigger, ready for battle.
The officers were also waving their pistols at this time and shouting at the top of their lungs: "Get to your positions, prepare to fight, come back soon~!"
"Don't pick it up anymore, the monster is coming to kill you."
"..."
Amidst their hoarse roars, the soldiers who were chopping up the monster's corpse immediately ran back.
Weir also hugged a lot of death knell beetle limbs with his hands, and ran back panting heavily. He didn't care at all that his military uniform was stained with various disgusting liquids.
He jumped over the stone with the machine gun on it, threw the insect legs in his arms on the ground, pulled open his backpack and stuffed it inside. After filling his own backpack, he commandeered Kiel's backpack without permission.
Kil kicked him angrily and cursed: "Idiot, come and help. What's more important, life or money?"
Will snorted, randomly stuffed things into his backpack, and muttered: "Everything is important, but now my life is still alive and the money is gone, so money is more important."
After loading all the things, he grabbed the bullet belt in the ammunition box, lay down next to Keir, and said: "Save it, there are only the last two left."
Kil snorted, indicating that he understood, and stared at the enemy in the distance with a sullen face - there was not much ammunition. But there was no replacement from behind. There must be something wrong.
At this time, I heard a messy sound of gun bolts coming from all around.
Kiel looked around and saw that on his side of the position, various guns had come out of their bunkers and aimed into the distance.
He immediately felt at peace. He had completed defense preparations and was waiting for the enemy to attack.
After Weir was out of breath, he looked at the ruins of the war fortress in the distance that had turned into a crater, and pressed the helmet on his head. He said worriedly: "Even the war fortress can be knocked down by the enemy, how can we fight this war?
"
Kiel couldn't help but sigh: Yes, if the war fortress cannot guarantee its own safety, how can it provide aerial fire cover for infantrymen like himself.
There is an iron rule within the security forces: without enough artillery and air cover, ground troops are determined not to engage in battle.
He obviously has an absolute advantage in firepower, but he wants to engage in close combat with the enemy. That's just out of his mind.
If any commander dares to do this, he will receive a medal of valor and be dismissed and go home. If there are heavy casualties, he will even be sent to a military court by the military police for trial.
Lord Lorraine spent a lot of money to form a security force, not to use them as cannon fodder and fight with the enemy with bayonets.
Even during the defense battle of Ruman City, the Skeleton Division was protected by several fighter squadrons.
And this is also an important reason why the security forces are able to run rampant in the world and are invincible: they only fight the battles they can win, and they will not even touch those they are not sure of winning.
Although this is not passionate enough, and there is a suspicion of bullying the weak, this is war. If you fight an uncertain battle and risk your own life for the sake of fame, you will generally be called a fool.
.
The only way to cure this disease is to cut off the head and let people kick it like a ball.
At this moment, the three remaining war fortresses in the sky were still firing at the insect swarms on the ground.
It's just that this time, they all learned a lot smarter and no longer dared to stay at a low altitude of forty or fifty meters, hovering and playing the role of fixed forts.
At this moment, they were scattered in the sky, two were at an altitude of two to three hundred meters, and one was flying higher, scouting the location of the enemy who had just attacked the war fortress.
The three war fortresses were constantly moving quickly to guard against unknown attacks from the north, and at the same time, as if venting their anger, they blasted the death knell beetles on the ground with ferocious firepower.
The death knell beetles withstood their artillery fire and searched the ruins of the war fortress from the inside out. They found all the people inside, and then used their huge pincers to tear the corpses of those people into pieces as if to vent their anger.
Seeing this situation, the soldiers in the remaining war fortresses were all furious. They all gnashed their teeth and bombarded them with more violent artillery fire.
Every time a cannon falls, countless stumps and limbs will be blown up.
The death knell beetles left hundreds more corpses behind, and then they all quickly retreated back north.
Seeing this situation, the soldiers of the first battalion all breathed a sigh of relief: if there was another fierce battle like just now, they didn't know whether they could withstand it.
Although there is a war fortress overhead, it is not safe - because the enemy has anti-aircraft artillery fire, and the war fortress will definitely not be able to fully support itself in order to protect itself.
However, the battle alert had just been lifted, and the soldiers who were unwilling to give up turned their attention to the corpses of monsters everywhere, trying to earn extra money for themselves with the attitude of taking more and getting more.
Battalion Commander Worster watched the soldiers' actions but did not stop them. Instead, he stood on a towering rock, holding a telescope, and kept observing the enemy's movements.
At the moment, he didn't pay attention and didn't know what to do next.
Even a war fortress had been destroyed, and it was definitely impossible to continue searching forward. What's more, after this battle, most of the troops' ammunition was consumed.
The best way now is to evacuate quickly and replenish ammunition.
He has already reported to the regiment leader: It is unwise to fight against a huge number of insects in an open area.
His battalion would definitely not be able to withstand an attack of the same magnitude just now. Moreover, he knew that the supplies at the regiment headquarters were also very tight now, and there was not much left.
At this time, the messenger sent orders from the regimental commander at the rear.
After reading the order, Battalion Commander Worster breathed a sigh of relief, then clapped his hands and called the officers over, saying loudly: "We are ordered to retreat immediately. Now, organize your team and retreat to the regiment headquarters within five minutes.
, no one is allowed to delay."
The officers looked at each other, then spread their hands helplessly, and turned around to convey the order. Although it was a pity to abandon so many corpses of death knell beetles, in comparison, their own lives were more important.
They also want to leave this ghost place as soon as possible.
Weir waved his dagger, gritting his teeth and slashing at the corpse of the death knell beetle. While removing the limbs of the beetle, he counted: "Twenty, twenty-one..."
At this time, the squad leader suddenly conveyed the order to retreat, and he had to leave within five minutes.
A burst of grief-stricken wails suddenly came from the crowd harvesting the spoils.
Weir looked at the dead knell beetle corpses all over the place and was very sad to see them. They were all shining gold coins~!
He still refused to give up and said: "Are we going to withdraw now? We didn't just win a battle."
The squad leader looked at the mountains of death knell beetles and smacked his tongue in regret, saying helplessly: "The ammunition is almost used up. If we don't withdraw, we will have to fight the monsters with our teeth."
Weir said with a sad face: "Then you don't want these trophies?"
The squad leader also looked bitter and said, "No more."
"What a pity. It's worth tens of thousands of gold coins at least. I'm still using the bonus to buy a house and marry a wife."
Weir seemed to see the golden little coin waving its wings and fluttering away, and the figure of the beautiful girl in the dream was getting further and further away. Instead, there was a girl weighing three hundred kilograms and with a thick bucket waist.
, a fat lady with a full beard.
As a poor soldier, he is very self-aware and knows clearly that the gold coins in his pocket are directly proportional to the beauty of his wife.
Seeing that the soldiers were still reluctant to leave, the company commander in front became impatient and kept urging them loudly: "Brothers, hurry up, hurry up.
This is a war zone now. If we fail to return to the station before dark, once the death knell beetles come to kill us, everyone will be finished."
After hearing what he said, the soldiers couldn't help but shudder.
Weir took advantage of his last chance and grabbed a few more insect legs, inserting them all into his belt.
Then he looked at the piled-up beetle carcasses and couldn't help but grumble bitterly. He kicked the carcasses a few times, ran back and picked up his full backpack, shouldered the machine gun's tripod, and the men of the first battalion.
At the same time retreat south.
On the way to retreat, the first battalion joined several other battalions.
By this time, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.
In the past, this time would have been early, but the dark night in the North always comes very early and very quickly.
Commander Patrick Jennings immediately ordered to establish defenses on the spot, build walls and bunkers, and prepare to hold on here until there are no new orders.
With his regiment's strength of nearly 5,000 men, plus eight heavy artillery pieces, a dozen light artillery pieces, and dozens of mortars, with concentrated firepower, no amount of insects would be able to break through his defense line.
However, if the troops are dispersed, they may be defeated by the insects one by one.
What's more, with the support of the war fortress, reinforcements from the rear can arrive in less than two days.
While the whole regiment was working hard to dig the soil, a dozen war fortresses roared over their heads and rushed deep into the northern sky.
On the leading one is a picture of a ferocious boar head wearing a steel helmet, showing two fangs, holding half a cigar in its mouth, and a ferocious scar on its left eye.
Next to the boar's head, there are several large triangular patterns with rough red crosses on them, showing that this war fortress has shot down four enemy war fortresses in battle and is a veritable trump card.
The Fifth Flying Group, also known as the famous Zhutou 3rd Squadron, made great achievements in the defense of Maple Leaf Danlin.
Captain Ivanazi anxiously paced back and forth in the cabin, occasionally lowering his head to glance at the ground and urging: "You haven't found it yet?"
All that came back to him was a repeated "No, nothing to see."
Ivenac stomped his foot angrily and cursed: "Damn it."
A war fortress sent by his men to support the northern front had just been shot down by unknown ground fire.
As the captain of the brigade, Ivenaz did not hesitate at all, and immediately led the remaining war fortresses of the brigade and rushed to the battlefield as quickly as possible to find the enemy who attacked them and avenge his comrades.
When he first received the report, Captain Ivenaz's first thought was that they had encountered an ambush from the Undead War Fortress.
But what surprised him was that the telegram sent by the team that encountered the attack stated that the blue-white light ball attacking them was shot from the ground.
Therefore, Ivenac had to take into account the reconnaissance in the air and on the opposite side at the same time. While looking for the enemy, he also prevented himself from being attacked again, and he was cautious all the way.
However, after idling around the battlefield for several times, they found nothing but black monster corpses on the ground.
Evenac turned around a few times and began to doubt the ground firepower reported by his men to attack the war fortress. It would have to be at least as big as a cannon, and it would be impossible not to see it in the air.
‘On a chaotic battlefield, it is common for frontline soldiers to misunderstand things due to nervousness.’ Ivenaz thought to himself: ‘Maybe the undead war fortress launched an attack from a low altitude, and they mistakenly thought it was on the ground.’
Just a few days ago, the frontline destroyed an undead war fortress, proving that there were indeed undead active here.
He hesitated for a moment and said: "Send a report to Team 7 and ask them where the attack was launched."
Thanks to radio, air communications between war fortresses no longer require semaphores and light signals.
A moment later, Team 7 called back and the team leader confirmed again that the attack was launched from the ground.
At that time, he clearly saw the light ball flying from the ground. Moreover, Ivenaz could also verify it with the 1st Battalion of the Skeleton Division who was fighting on the ground at the time. They were all witnesses.
The matter was so important that Ivenac sent a telegram directly to the 1st Battalion, and Battalion Commander Vorster of the 1st Battalion answered him in the affirmative. He personally witnessed the ball of light rising from the ground and hitting the slow-moving war fortress.
Ivenac was a little crazy. He jumped in his car, grabbed the person next to him and asked: "Even the magic cannon should have been discovered. Could it be that the enemy is still invisible?"
Without finding the person or thing that shot down the War Fortress, Ivenaz couldn't take revenge, and he couldn't write a report to the Air Force Command.
What's even more troubling is that the entire flying force will have to be wary of the same attack happening again, which will drive all the war fortress commanders crazy.
After circling the battlefield a few more times, they still found nothing. Seeing the sky getting darker, the other squadrons asked Ivenac for instructions on what to do next, meaning whether to retreat temporarily.
The night in the wasteland is very unfavorable to them, and the undead may take advantage of the darkness to launch a sneak attack.
Ivenac was also hesitant. He really couldn't do anything if he just went back like this.
His adjutant took a step forward and whispered behind the youngest captain of the flying unit: "Is it possible that the enemy has fled north?"
This sentence woke up Ivenaz. The enemy should have known that they would be retaliated after launching an attack, and they might have fled north long ago.
He immediately ordered: "Go further north for another two hundred miles. If you still haven't found anything, go back."
More than a dozen war fortresses speeded northward again.
The sun gradually disappears behind the ridgeline in the west, and stars are already lighting up in the eastern sky.
Evenaz, who had studied astronomy and astrology, could name every star, and he knew that it would be completely dark in half an hour, so he couldn't help but feel anxious.
According to their speed and time, they had flown almost two hundred miles. Captain Ivenac decided in his heart that if they were not found in five minutes, they would return and ask for help from the Air Force Frontline Command.
"There seems to be something down there?" The adjutant, who had been observing carefully with a telescope in front of the window, suddenly shouted loudly.
Ivenac stepped forward quickly, grabbed the telescope, and stared at the ground.
Following the direction indicated by the adjutant's arm, Ivenaz found something black surging on the ground in the distance.
Evanac frowned and said, "Is it lake water?"
It looks like rough water, several miles wide, and you can't see the other side of the water.
The adjutant turned around and picked up the map on the table and looked at it carefully, then shook his head and said: "The map shows that there are no lakes in this generation. Moreover, they seem to be flowing forward."
Evenac observed carefully for a moment and confirmed what the adjutant said. The black tide-like thing was indeed slowly moving southward.
Ivenac nodded, sneered, and said: "We may have caught them, tell everyone to be alert, order the first team to lower the altitude with me, let's do a high-speed pass, and prepare flares~!"
Ivenac's No. 1 aircraft took the lead, and the first team dived down quickly. In order to avoid being attacked by ground fire, the War Fortress maintained an extremely fast speed.
Above the black surge that rushed to the ground, three war fortresses dropped illumination bombs at the same time.
It was as if three small suns appeared in the sky at the same time, illuminating the ground and clearly illuminating the black tide on the ground.
After seeing the things on the ground clearly, everyone, including Ivenaz, took a breath of cold air - they were bugs, endless bugs.
The area, which is more than ten miles long and several miles wide, is full of bugs jumping and running.
Their figures covered the earth, leaving only a black patch, like a raging flood, rolling across the wasteland and sweeping southward.
As you can imagine, wherever they go, everything will be gone.
Although the distance was too high, Ivenaz couldn't see the appearance of the bugs clearly, but judging from the huge size of some bugs, this place was definitely not just a monster like the death knell beetle.
The adjutant slowly twisted his neck and said with a dull expression: "How many of these should there be? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Or hundreds of thousands?"
Ivenac pursed his lips, his expression was solemn, he clenched his fists unconsciously, stared at the black insect swarm on the ground, and said: "We are in big trouble, send power to the headquarters, send power to the troops on the front line...hell, send power to the frontline troops..."
All units sent a telegram. We found a terrifying number of monsters moving south in the 25th and 44th areas. We are in urgent need of help."
Seeing that his adjutant was still in a daze, Ivenaz roared at him: "Hurry up and go~!"
"Yes~!" The adjutant was suddenly shocked and rushed to the radio room quickly.
When he confirmed that the telegram had been received by the units in the rear, the adjutant rushed all the way back to Ivenats, panting: "The command has confirmed receipt, sir, what should we do? Should we retreat first?"
Ivenac shook his head and said solemnly: "Before receiving new orders, we must do everything possible to stop the monster from advancing.
Two hundred miles behind us, there are several legions of the army and tens of thousands of troops." (To be continued...)
