"Then I'll call you Xiao Lei." Li Weiguo responded in a light tone. He liked this young officer very much and thought he could promote him in the future.
"Yeah." Cao Lei was also very happy.
Because Li Weiguo guarded Highland No. 9 and used ultra-long-range rocket launchers to suppress the enemies in the entire area, the battle in the west became extremely smooth.
But it happened that at this time, Oda Koyao led the army and joined this battle.
Originally, the Chinese Republic had already achieved an initial victory in the battle to defend Guangling City. However, because of the addition of the Oda Legion, the balance of victory tilted towards the Red Sun Empire.
The fortifications on the outskirts of Guangling City were breached one after another under the fierce attack of the Red Sun Empire. A large number of defenders of the Chinese Republic were forced to retreat to Guangling City and continued to struggle to support themselves.
Only Highland No. 9 remained standing under the protection of Li Weiguo and the concerted efforts of all the officers and soldiers.
At this time, in the No. 9 air raid shelter, Li Weiguo observed the situation on the battlefield through remote video radar.
"Report, Commander, the enemy's large forces are attacking again." A communications soldier hurried in to report.
"Okay, I understand." Li Weiguo waved his hand casually, indicating that he already knew. He couldn't remember how many times this was the enemy's attack.
The soldiers of the Red Sun Empire seemed to be crazy, attacking this No. 9 Highland again and again.
That is to say, this place has been strengthened and the soldiers are willing to sacrifice their lives, so they can hold on until now.
But now there is a serious problem, that is, the ammunition on the high ground will soon be exhausted.
"Commander, why don't we take advantage of the darkness and secretly break out of the encirclement! Anyway, the enemy has already reached the urban area of Guangling. You continue to stand here without any objections." Cao Lei suggested.
After Li Weiguo took over the command, he was responsible for the logistics and supply work, so he knew better than Li Weiguo that the ammunition on hand had already been exhausted.
Many soldiers are now picking up the enemy's weapons for use. If it were not for the darkness, the enemy would probably have attacked them long ago.
"No, we can't withdraw. This Highland No. 9 is very important. If it is occupied by the enemy, it is very likely that this high ground will be used to suppress the city of Guangling with firepower." Li Weiguo shook his head and refused, although Highland No. 9 is now very important to the Chinese Republic. , and has no practical significance.
But if this place falls into the hands of the enemy, it will cause unimaginable harm to our own side.
Seeing that Cao Lei and the other officers seemed a little discouraged, Li Weiguo continued to speak: "The enemy has surrounded us. Even if we want to break out, we won't be able to get out at all!"
When everyone heard this, they thought it made sense. Highland No. 9 was now surrounded by countless enemies, and it seemed unrealistic to break out at night.
"It doesn't work on the ground. We can dig tunnels. There are no enemies underground, right?" Cao Lei thought quickly and suddenly thought of another way.
"Yes! We can dig tunnels!" Li Weiguo was reminded by Cao Lei, and he suddenly thought that there were bases and tunnels extending in all directions beneath the ground in Guangling City.
They can dig underneath, because there are already bases and tunnels underneath, so they can connect to the outside without much effort.
At that time, soldiers, weapons and ammunition can be replenished from other places through the tunnel below.
"Then let's go!" Cao Lei was very happy. He didn't want to stay here for a long time. Now the commander finally agreed, so he acted very actively.
Li Weiguo raised his hand, patted this guy on the head, and scolded him: "Okay, you brat, we don't need to leave. Let's dig a tunnel together. We will have all the soldiers and supplies."
Cao Lei was a little confused by Li Weiguo's photo, but he quickly came to his senses. He also knew that there were tunnels extending in all directions under Guangling City. If it could really be opened from here, why would he run away? It's not necessary at all!
Li Weiguo turned on the detector on his helmet and scanned the water and soil conditions under his feet. He soon saw a tunnel under the rock layer.
Then he used the intelligent auxiliary system of the armor to plan the easiest passage to dig, and then started to do it.
The two fists of the armor turned into two electric drills, working together on the left and right. His digging speed was very fast. It only took him a few breaths to dig down several meters.
When the surrounding officers saw it, they stepped forward to help. Some imitated Li Weiguo's example of digging soil, and some called the soldiers outside to transport the excavated stones and soil outside to strengthen the outside defense.
Everyone gathered firewood and the flames were high. It only took them half an hour to successfully dig a passage.
The moment the channel was connected, Li Weiguo saw that his mobile phone had a signal. He quickly dialed his wife's number.
"Li Weiguo! Where did you die? Why haven't you come back yet?" Just as the call was connected, Zeng Shiting's roar came from the other end of the phone.
Although he was scolded, Li Weiguo felt particularly cordial when he heard the other party's voice.
"I am now on Highland No. 9 and have dug a passage below. You should quickly organize manpower and come over to assist in the defense." Li Weiguo quickly spoke and reported the current situation.
Although he wanted to drink with his daughter-in-law and talk about home affairs, but in the current situation, he could only hold back and not talk about these things.
The other side of the phone went silent, and I didn't know what the other person was doing.
"Oh, by the way, we are running out of ammunition here. Remember to ask those who come over to bring more." After Li Weiguo finished speaking, he hung up the phone proactively. There was still fighting on the high ground, but not here. Stay too long.
After digging a passage, the officers were very excited, but they felt like they had narrowly escaped death. They are all shouting now, asking those bastards from the Red Sun Empire to come up and die!
Li Weiguo was too lazy to pay attention to these guys and immediately ran back to the position to observe the situation below.
Now the flowers, trees and plants on the position, as well as the larger rocks, have all been shattered by enemy artillery fire. So when he looked down from above, he had a very good field of vision and could clearly see the position of every enemy.
He soon saw nine huge elephant armors walking out of the enemy's formation.
"The enemy must be impatient. Even if they take out such a weapon of war, they probably have no backup plan." Li Weiguo mocked the enemy lightly.
Cao Lei, who was following him, nodded repeatedly when he heard what Li Weiguo said. He also saw that the Red Sun Empire seemed to have reached the end of its strength.
"How about we go stretch our muscles?" Cao Lei asked Li Weiguo in a tentative tone.
He thought that backup would arrive soon anyway, so he rushed out to practice his skills, and there would be nothing wrong with him in the end.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
Li Weiguo greeted the officers and soldiers behind him and rushed towards one of the elephant armors. His hands had been itchy for a long time, and now that he had the opportunity, he would not let it go easily.
Yuanji Cunxia was inside one of the giant elephant armors. At this time, he also saw Li Weiguo rushing over through the detection radar.
