15 minutes!
The two sides faced off and fought fiercely, with equal casualties. It was difficult to tell the difference for a while, and the winner would definitely not be determined in a short time.
It seemed like an eternity as the deaths and injuries continued to occur.
Every second is suffering. A living life may become a cold corpse the next moment.
Time passed very quickly, because the opportunity to retreat should not be missed, otherwise they would also be in catastrophe.
Alliance soldiers continued to pour out of the secret rooms with camouflaged exits No. 3 and 5. The number was increasing, reaching more than 500. The resistance was growing.
17 minutes!
"Retreat quickly!" Y State Battalion Commander issued the final order.
In fact, he didn't need to remind them that the other two companies had already begun to retreat, creating the illusion of being outnumbered.
Act quickly and your timing is perfect.
The alliance soldiers noticed that the opponent was retreating, and thought that the Y country soldiers could not defeat them and wanted to escape.
When the time comes for revenge, how can you give up?
Now I pursue them closely, hoping to catch them all in one fell swoop.
20 minutes!
Most of the advancing Y country soldiers have crossed the main street and returned to the area north of the bombing line.
As if they had made an appointment, the hidden Y country soldiers immediately rushed out from all corners and launched a fierce attack on the pursuing Alliance soldiers.
】
While repelling the enemy, he responded to the return of the remaining companions.
boom! boom! boom!
boom! boom! boom!
One minute later, dense rockets roared from the east again, falling from high altitude into the small town of Sekma like thunder, focusing only on the central and southern ground bombardment as if they had eyes.
The soldiers of Country Y were hiding across the main street and were not affected at all. In turn, they beat up the drowned dog.
"You've been fooled, retreat now!"
"Damn Persian cats have no humanity, God will not forgive you."
"There are no shells falling over there, rush across the street and fight them!"
The Union soldiers who were pursuing the front took advantage of the gap after the explosion of the artillery shells and rushed across the main street desperately, trying to avoid the shells and kill their opponents.
However, there were suddenly 600 more soldiers from Country Y, which outnumbered our own.
In the dense hail of bullets, there was no way to go back. Before people reached the middle of the road, they were already beaten into a hornet's nest.
The Union soldier who was a little closer to the camouflaged exits No. 3 and 5 ran back desperately despite the artillery fire. He only regretted that his parents had given him two fewer legs.
Most of the Alliance soldiers caught in the middle were so helpless that they didn't know where to run, and they were most helpless.
The cold and ruthless cannonballs tirelessly squander energy, harvesting the lives that are scurrying around within the target area.
Like a fair and selfless judge in hell, he only asks about life and death, not mercy.
In the town of Sekma, the ground in the central and southern parts was once again devastated and swept away. Almost no intact buildings were visible, more than half of the height was cut off, and it was completely turned into ruins.
In less than 5 minutes, in addition to nearly a hundred people who hurriedly fled into the tunnel, the remaining more than 400 people suffered multiple injuries such as shell bombing, house collapse, and soil filling.
Major Libera boarded a high-rise building again, and with the help of the cover of the concrete wall, he quietly watched this scene happen. He felt neither happy nor worried, and felt dull.
As the temporarily victorious party, I should be happy, but I can't help but laugh.
A feeling of sadness and fatigue surged into my heart, and I didn't know where I was.
Contrary to his mood, many of his soldiers found that no one was rushing to the main street anymore. They looked at the falling enemies in the distance, knowing that the enemy was basically hopeless, and began to cheer for victory.
Eight minutes later, the artillery fire suddenly stopped again.
"Move out everyone, occupy the central area, and blow up the two exits!"
Major Libera recovered his thoughts and issued an attack order to the three battalion commanders waiting downstairs.
"Yes! Let's leave immediately."
The three battalion commanders respectfully performed a military salute and quickly went off to perform their missions.
On both sides of the dividing line, the battlefield wireless network interference is too strong, and strong magnetic shock waves cover all frequency bands.
Advanced communication equipment has become a decoration and cannot be used at all, and the battle can only be directed by primitive means.
To the north of the main street, in addition to the wounded, security personnel, snipers, and medical staff who stayed behind, more than 700 people emerged from street corners and underground houses. They quickly crossed the deformed road like a tide, searched forward, and focused on attacking those who were already under surveillance. 3. Disguised exit No. 5.
1 km, central area.
The few Union soldiers who survived the artillery fire with minor or serious injuries knew that surrender would be a dead end. They struggled to fight back or self-detonated grenades, causing a lot of losses to the attacking soldiers.
With the exposed camouflaged exit, Alliance soldiers did not dare to attack in large numbers for fear of falling into a trap again.
After resisting for a while, the secret room was destroyed neatly to prevent CO gas from penetrating.
Soldiers from Country Y cleaned up the central area, but did not find any other disguised exits.
Major Libera quickly divided everyone into four parts according to the predetermined plan:
100 people were dispersed to guard the northern and central areas to prevent the Alliance from increasing troops from the west and north.
100 people occupy all the commanding heights in the central area, including snipers, ready to respond to the southward assault troops.
The 100 people approached the southern suburbs, across the river, farmland, and villages, and faced the hills 1 kilometer away. They stepped up construction of the remaining buildings and prepared for garrison operations.
20 engineering soldiers set up a large bowl-shaped tent as quickly as possible, and four excavation robots that had stored energy immediately began to dig tunnels in turns under the command of remote control.
The target direction is pointed directly at the gentle slope of the hill, the hole that was once blasted by the heavy drilling D-bomb.
After completing the work of collecting weapons and burning corpses, the remaining soldiers quickly returned to the original passage and stood by for reinforcements.
Through the telescope, Major Libera discovered a small river 200 meters away, close to the water surface in the south.
A very obvious whirlpool was covered by thatch, with an inexplicable smile on its face.
Shaher's plan was very clear. Based on the drone photos he received in the early morning, he discovered signs of reinforced concrete underneath the blasted hole on the hillside. It was obviously an underground tunnel or an arms warehouse. .
Although it has been filled with sand and gravel, the traces are still obvious and can be clearly identified.
The underground passage of the alliance garrison is at least 20 meters away from the ground. It only needs to dig a tunnel at a depth of 5-8 meters underground for passage.
A 30-meter-deep pothole was blasted next to a row of buildings about 800 meters away from the hill.
Under the cover of the tent, the program instructions of the two excavation robots were set, they were hoisted to a depth of 15 meters, and the tunnel operations were carried out in a diagonal lifting manner.
The excavated earth and rocks can be rolled down to the bottom of the pit through a simple conveyor belt, which is convenient, trouble-free and time-saving.
After digging out the target location, Shaher had his own trump card to complete the remaining tasks and give the opponent a huge surprise.
As for why most of the soldiers had to be withdrawn, the main reason was that they were worried that the alliance garrison would call for artillery support, and it would be too much trouble to give him a one-stop deal.
Although there are still more than 300 people in the danger zone of being bombed at any time, they are scattered to every corner of a 2-kilometer radius in the central and northern parts, so the losses should not be too great.
Of course, it will be at least 2 hours before the other party wants to complete the call implementation.
Also, the existing underground tunnel excavated to the south is 2 kilometers away from the hill. Coupled with the desperate resistance of the Alliance, it is impossible to complete the task before 2 p.m.
Once the other party has chemical protective equipment, you will have no advantage, and the situation will be full of variables.
It was now 10:30 in the morning, and he had to seize the time, handle the preliminary work, and be prepared to deal with it.
The hill south of the town.
Through the camouflage window of the bunker, the Marathon brigade commander witnessed this sudden change on the battlefield with a telescope, and deepened his understanding of Shaher's methods.
Secretly glad that he resisted the urge to send troops for reinforcements and saved his strength.
He still somewhat admired the heroic actions of the Fiery Brigade Commander's men. Although it was not worth paying a heavy price, he still had an insight into the other party's true intentions.
It has become an indisputable fact that the target is finally located here.
As for Shaher setting up a big bowl-shaped tent, what exactly did he want to do in the big hole? It was nothing more than digging tunnels to carry out infiltration attacks.
The distance of 800 meters is so far, it will take at least 24 hours.
By then they will have material support and can fight back, so they won't care too much.
It's just that Shaher is very cunning and will never hit the target without aim.
He wanted to report this situation to his teacher immediately to see how to deal with it.
February 3, 11 a.m.
The underground tunnels of Sekma Town, the alliance garrison, and the division headquarters.
When the Marathon brigade commander came to the conference room through the tunnel, he saw the silence of the division commander Su Lisu and the angry look of the fiery brigade commander. He was not in the mood to comfort him and immediately All conditions observed on the hands were reported in detail.
"Commander, my preliminary judgment is that Shaher had three purposes for digging the tunnel:
The first is to lead to the middle area or the southern arsenal, and use CO high-pressure spray guns and chemical protective suits to select points to force us to retreat, or wait for an opportunity to blow up the arsenal.
The second is to find the passage for us to retreat to the west, cut off our retreat, and attack from both sides, causing us to lose material support.
The third is to block the water supply, essentially trapping us and occupying the entire underground area. "
The Marathon Brigadier expressed his analysis results with a serious face.
"No matter what tricks they try, there are always a lot of people on the ground. Let's learn from their example and give them a feast of artillery fire first."
Su Lisu looked at his watch, tilted his head and said to the chief of staff:
"Make a request for air strikes and report it quickly. I want to hear the sound of shells falling before 15:00."
"Yes, draft a message immediately."
Ben Laming ran aside to draft a brief transcript of the phone call, trying to use as few words as possible to explain the situation clearly and request support.
"Don't worry, we have backup water pipes. We will fill all the empty barrels within 3 hours, then plug the pipes to allow the water to flow away from the underpass.
At the same time, the special training personnel completed the interval warning of the evacuation channel within one hour, and reported any abnormal movements by phone at any time.
In addition, the special training personnel have done a good job in receiving the supplies. After receiving them, they immediately change their clothes and stand by, waiting for the attack order."
Zurich issued the second order.
"Yes, resolutely complete the task."
The fiery brigade commander responded loudly with blood-red eyes and turned around to make arrangements.
“There is no room for failure in the southern part of the town, and commanders at all levels must maintain a high degree of vigilance and guard against any lethargy.
At the same time, we conduct probing strikes against suspicious operating points to prevent the other party's conspiracy from succeeding.
In times of crisis, you can call directly to apply for the use of trump cards to deal a fatal blow to the intruder. "
Zurich issued the third order.
"Yes, please rest assured, division commander. I will definitely defend Nanshan to ensure the safety of the arsenal."
The Marathon brigade commander gave a decisive military salute and hurried to his jurisdiction.
After Zurich assigned the task, he took the contents of the telegram handed over by the chief of staff, modified it slightly and signaled it to be sent out.
"Shahir, my opponent, what are your true intentions?"
Zurich opened the underground tunnel distribution map and started thinking hard.
