Landmines continued to explode at the feet of the soldiers, but the continuous explosions did not stop the soldiers, and did not even disrupt the soldiers' marching formation.
Xu Zijian's move is called trading durability for time. The continuous explosions only reduce the durability of the soldiers' armor by about 20%, which is nothing. Getting to the No. 1 Factory in time was the top priority, after all, thousands of soldiers there were being suppressed by workers.
About five minutes later, Xu Zijian's army crossed the minefield. According to the current pace, we will reach our destination in another twenty minutes.
But at this moment, Xu Zijian's cell phone rang.
Xu Zijian answered the call. This was the call for help from the Second Factory: a female soldier suddenly appeared and swept through thousands of soldiers, causing the morale of those workers to greatly increase. The soldiers of the Second Factory would not last longer than thirty minutes. Total destruction.
"Well, Xue Xiaoyun, you are playing guerrilla with me." Xu Zijian was furious.
"Commander, why don't we divide our troops into two groups? You take half to the first factory, and we take half to the second factory." One of the deputy generals suggested.
"What about the third factory?" Xu Zijian asked rhetorically.
"Then how about dividing the troops into three groups?"
"Splitting the troops into three groups will not solve the problem. As long as Xue Xiaoyun is there, the morale of the workers can be boosted. Those workers are already outnumbered. Once their morale is boosted and a large group comes over, the soldiers will still be outnumbered."
"Then you can't just do nothing, right?"
"Continue to rush to the first factory."
"What? Don't you want the second factory and the third factory?" The deputy general still felt that dividing the troops into three groups was the best choice.
"Fifteen thousand troops, divided into three parts, each with only 5,000 people. Facing tens of thousands of workers, it is still useless. How about we solve them one by one and use the largest force to suppress the No. 1 Factory first."
"This is not a good idea. It is very time-consuming to advance the army. By the time the first factory is solved, the second factory and the third factory have been completely destroyed. I suggest giving up the army first and picking elites to divide into three groups to rush to the rescue quickly. As for the army, you can Divide it into three parts, it doesn’t matter if you arrive a little late.”
"It makes sense. Since Xue Xiaoyun alone can boost morale, then we can weaken the other side's morale. I will go to the first factory alone, and you guys will bring the elite and divide into two groups to go to the second factory and the third factory. And Xue Xiaoyun There is only one person, and there is nothing he can do." Xu Zijian agreed.
In this way, Xu Zijian rushed to the No. 1 Factory alone. The battalion commanders, company commanders and elites of the army were also divided into two groups and ran to the second factory and the third factory respectively. As for the 15,000-strong army, it will be distributed by the temporarily appointed regimental commander.
Without a large army moving forward together, Xu Zijian's speed immediately became several times faster. After all, the physical strength of generals or elite soldiers was much greater than that of ordinary soldiers.
What used to take twenty minutes of jogging now takes five minutes of sprinting. After Xu Zijian arrived at the factory, there were only about 1,000 soldiers out of the thousands. But Xu Zijian picked up the machete and started slashing, which immediately scared away many workers.
That kind of big knife slashed over, and the workers were knocked away in various ways, even if they had armor, it was useless. This kind of machete can cause great impact when chopping, and directly cause internal injuries to the worker. Although he is not dead, it is extremely painful.
The psychological quality of these workers is not high, and most of them are afraid of death. They will immediately get scared when they see themselves vomiting blood. The first thing they do when they get up is not to continue fighting, but to run away.
Only five minutes after Xu Zijian intervened, 20% of the workers ran away, and 50% of the workers were too embarrassed to run away, but did not dare to risk their lives, so they just showed off with weapons and did not dare to rush at all. In fact, they were just waiting and watching. Only 30% of workers are passionate and still fighting desperately.
With fewer people fighting, the soldiers' advantage immediately emerged.
Around 1,000 soldiers cooperated with Xu Zijian and began to slowly reverse the disadvantage.
This situation also happened in the Third Factory. The joining of several generals and elite soldiers gradually reversed the soldiers' disadvantage. But after all, the number of workers is huge. Even if only a small number of them are fighting, the number is still around seven or eight thousand, so the fighting will not be over for a while.
The generals originally planned to wait for the army to arrive, but for some reason, the army divided into three parts did not arrive all the way.
This matter has to start right after Xu Zijian and the generals left. After they left, it took five minutes for the army to be divided into three small groups.
At this moment, fifty or sixty military vehicles drove quickly from the direction of the city.
When the 15,000-strong army saw so many military vehicles approaching, they all drew their weapons. They knew very well that the soldiers in these military vehicles must be rebels, because these rebels had blown up all the military vehicles in the military base when they left the military base. In other words, within Nancheng, only the rebels have military vehicles.
The soldiers' judgment was not wrong, but what they didn't expect was that countless rockets would be fired before the military vehicle arrived.
However, these rockets did not explode after hitting the soldiers. Instead, they made a low banging sound, and then a large amount of smoke exploded.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
For a time, thick smoke covered the army.
Soon, screams appeared among the army.
It turned out that the rebel army had already rushed into the army and started killing them.
Under the thick smoke, the soldiers' visibility was only about half a meter, so it was impossible to see where the enemy was. What's even more frightening is that the armor worn by the enemy is exactly the same as that of the soldiers.
"Why did you cut me?"
"not me."
"Who? Who is cutting me?"
"Whoaaah."
The soldiers held weapons and saw that they were being hacked. Of course they went crazy and hacked others, regardless of whether they were enemies or not.
Soon, these 50,000 soldiers actually started killing each other.
The real rebels actually have a red rope tied to their feet, so they can recognize their own people. However, the scene was in chaos and there was thick smoke. The soldiers didn't pay attention to such details at all, so they just chopped at random.
You chop me, I chop you, everyone is hacking and killing indiscriminately. In less than five minutes, hundreds of people died.
At this time, several captains in the army shouted: "Everyone take off your helmets immediately, and then don't move to see who is hacking people."
"Take off your helmet quickly and don't move."
Every 50 soldiers are managed by a soldier commander, so when the soldier commanders discuss a countermeasure, the soldiers will quickly follow it.
When everyone took off their helmets, the chaos was stopped immediately because no one dared to chop randomly. Although the visibility was very low, I was still able to recognize my own people.
But within a minute of taking off the helmet, one of the soldiers suddenly felt something was wrong, then began to panic and cough violently.
"Toxic, the smoke is poisonous..."
"Poison, this is poisonous gas." Another soldier also felt uncomfortable.
After having no choice but to do so, the soldier commanders could only shout again: "Put on your helmet, put on your helmet quickly."
The soldiers' helmets have built-in filtering equipment that can block ordinary poisonous gases, but after wearing the helmets, no one knows anyone else.
The soldier commanders ordered: "Everyone find a way to disperse and find a way to escape from the smoke circle."
This judgment is correct, but it is difficult to implement. Because under the thick smoke, it was impossible to tell the difference between east, west, north and south, and I didn't know where to run. When the soldier commanders said they were going to disperse, everyone started pushing people away, intending to keep their distance. You push me, I push you, and it soon becomes even more confusing.
The soldiers of the rebel army only killed a few more people, and the cannibalism in the army began again.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me." The soldiers waved their weapons around, not intending to let anyone get close to them.
You swing randomly, he swings randomly, and the chaos becomes more chaotic. The commanders have limited abilities and limited experience, and they don’t know what to do. They called the leader, but there was no signal.
Because military vehicles have shielding equipment that can block signals within a three-kilometer radius.
These fifteen thousand soldiers seemed to have entered a frying pan in purgatory, isolated and helpless.
Fifteen minutes have passed since the smoke bomb exploded, but thousands of people have died or been seriously injured. At this time, everyone was desperate and crying in despair.
At this time, the horn sounded.
"Everyone, as long as you surrender, put down your weapons, take off your armor, and leave only your helmet, you will survive. This is a sign that we will not kill people without armor."
This kind of trumpet is undoubtedly a panacea, instantly giving all soldiers hope of survival.
In order to survive, the soldiers immediately took off their armor and dropped their weapons.
When soldiers take off their armor, they are just meat on the chopping block, and even ordinary submachine guns can kill them.
Of course, the rebels would not be so cruel. They accepted the soldiers' surrender, used the large fans on the military vehicles to blow away the smoke, and asked them to pick up their armor and obediently gather at the designated location.
In this way, of the 15,000 soldiers, 10,000 surrendered to the rebel army, and another 3,000 were wounded. Those with minor injuries will be taken away. Those who are seriously injured can only stay where they are.
Soldiers' armor is held by the soldiers themselves. They can only hold it, not wear it.
A rebel soldier, holding a submachine gun, can guard dozens of soldiers. If anyone behaves abnormally, just two sudden noises will shock the soldiers. Others in the rebel army collected the soldiers' weapons and took them away in transport vehicles.
In this way, the rebel army escorted ten thousand soldiers to the northeast military base of Nancheng, where Pang Long was located.
In the past, Pang Long's official position was not particularly high, and he could not dominate the sky with one hand in this military base. But after today, Pang Long is the leader of this military base.
On the other side, Factory No. 1.
Xu Zijian had been fighting for more than half an hour. He was exhausted and his slashing speed was getting slower and slower.
Those desperate workers were fighting bloody battles, while the foreman kept shouting with a loudspeaker: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Xu Zijian is dying. He is too tired to chop. Come on, everyone."
Some workers who had been pushed back more than ten meters by Xu Zijian gritted their teeth and stood up again. Although they were injured, they deliberately shouted: "It doesn't hurt at all. Xu Zijian has no strength. Don't be afraid."
In this way, a few desperate people took up the entire situation, and they once again inspired the masses. Those workers who were still waiting and watching gradually gathered their courage and joined the battle one after another. The workers who were hiding outside the factory also heard the sound of the trumpet, and they also returned to the factory, planning to join the fight.
