Chapter 182: The Great Battle (7)
Chapter 182: The Great Battle (7)
At this moment, more than a dozen tanks were parked quietly in a corner of the suburbs, and the soldiers were gathered together talking in low voices.
"How should we fight this battle? As soon as our tanks show up, they will be bombarded by Dongyang's carrier-based aircraft!" said a soldier worriedly.
Another soldier was filled with anger: "We clearly have our fleet on Gaoshan Island, but they have been slow to come to support us. Are they going to watch us die?"
"Don't be delusional. That fleet is just flying our country's flag. It has nothing to do with us. Didn't you see that Dongyang Kingdom didn't dare to attack that fleet?"
"I guess it was probably General Shen who borrowed it, but why didn't our government borrow it?"
"You're overthinking it. How can we rent this fleet just by asking for it?"
"Oh, forget it, just think about how to survive..."
At this time, a group of traitors quietly lurked around the soldiers, secretly using wireless transmitters to transmit information to the outside world.
Not long after, several carrier-based aircraft from Dongyang Kingdom quickly flew overhead.
At the same time, this group of traitors began to use various means, such as flares, to provide carrier-based aircraft with precise target locations.
At this time, the soldiers finally reacted and shouted angrily: "Damn it, there are traitors! Find them and kill them!"
Then someone shouted: "Oh no, Dongyang's carrier-based aircraft have discovered us!"
An officer urgently ordered: "Hide quickly!"
But it was too late. Several carrier-based aircraft from Dongyang State roared in and launched a frenzied attack on these ground forces.
They seemed to know the importance of these tanks and specifically chose these dozen tanks to attack.
In less than ten minutes, the tanks were shattered into pieces and turned into a pile of scrap metal.
The soldiers hiding behind the tanks could not escape their fate and fell to the ground and died one after another.
What's worse is that Dongyang's carrier-based aircraft did not let go of the crowd and continued to shoot at them.
Screams and cries continued to be heard from the crowd, and the whole scene was horrific.
Finally, after the carrier-based aircraft ran out of bullets, they turned and left, leaving behind ruins and corpses on the ground.
The land is filled with the smell of death, which makes people feel endless sadness and fear.
President Wen Qingxiang issued a retreat order, but this does not mean that all troops will execute it immediately.
Some troops were designated to remain behind to cover the retreat of the main force.
These brave warriors knew they faced enormous risks.
In every corner of Shencheng, troops received orders to retreat.
The soldiers moved quickly, packed up their equipment, and prepared to leave the battlefield.
Yet, amid the noise, a variety of emotions were intertwined.
Some were relieved to finally be free from the stress of fighting.
Others are concerned about the future, not knowing what will happen next.
Among the retreating troops, there was such a scene: a group of soldiers hugged each other tightly, with determination flashing in their eyes.
One of them said, "Brothers, hurry up and leave. I will cover your retreat."
"Remember, please give my suicide note to my parents and tell them I love them."
There was a determination and fearlessness in his voice that moved people.
The others nodded, their vision blurred by tears.
At the same time, the Dongyang troops noticed signs of retreat from the Dazhou army, and they immediately launched a pursuit.
The Dongyang soldiers were holding light machine guns and firing wildly, with bullets pouring down like raindrops.
"Da da da da da~" The sound of gunfire rang out one after another, and smoke filled the air.
The officers of Dongyang State drew their sabers and led the charge, shouting, "Kill the chickens!"
The next morning, the sun shone through the clouds onto the land where fierce battles had once taken place.
The huge army of the Dazhou Kingdom is retreating, and the scene is extremely chaotic.
Vehicles, personnel and supplies are intertwined, creating a busy and tense picture.
The soldiers looked tired, their bodies covered in mud and blood. They were carrying heavy equipment and their steps were hurried but firm.
Amid this chaos, commanders struggled to maintain order and ensure an orderly evacuation of troops.
Shanghai Liuhang Warehouse, this ancient and sturdy building has now become a solid line of defense.
In this warehouse, six hundred warriors from the Dazhou Kingdom gathered together, determined to fight a life-and-death battle with the Dongyang Kingdom.
Opposite the warehouse is the prosperous concession. On one side is the raging war, while on the other side is the bright lights and feasting, forming a sharp contrast and gap.
On this side of the concession, a group of people stood on a high place, looking at the Liuhang Warehouse.
One of the female reporters held a megaphone and asked loudly: "Your main force has already started to retreat, why are you still staying here?"
A soldier in the warehouse replied: "We decided to stay and hold on until the last moment!"
The female reporter then asked: "Is there anything you need our help with?"
The soldiers replied: "We are short of food and medicine."
The female reporter nodded to show her understanding: "Okay, I will try my best to find an opportunity to send these things to you."
The soldiers said gratefully: "Thank you."
In the concession, some citizens of the big states heard this conversation and took action.
Rich people donated generously and donated large amounts of money.
Those who had supplies actively donated food, medicine and other urgently needed items to support the soldiers in the warehouse.
Since there was a concession opposite the warehouse, the Dongyang troops did not dare to use artillery to attack.
Because if the shell deviates slightly, it is very likely to hit the buildings and people in the concession, causing international disputes.
Night gradually fell and it was pitch black all around, but the soldiers in the warehouse still stood firm at their posts, watching their surroundings vigilantly.
Just then, a brave female reporter and several of her companions quietly came to the warehouse.
They brought some much-needed medicines and food, bringing a little warmth and hope to the soldiers.
At the same time, she also used her camera to record the determined and brave figures of these soldiers.
Facing the camera, the soldiers smiled.
At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten the danger they were about to face, and only had loyalty and responsibility to the country and the nation in their hearts.
Perhaps, this will be the last photo in their lives.
Soon, after completing her task, the female reporter quietly left under the cover of night.
However, not every soldier has the firm determination to die for his country.
There were also three cowardly people in this team. They were frightened and wanted to take the opportunity to swim across the river and escape to the concession for refuge.
But what they didn't expect was that the people in the concession did not accept them, but ruthlessly drove them back to the warehouse.
With no other options, the three men had to return to their posts in disgrace.
At the same time, hundreds of Dongyang soldiers sneaked in from the back of the warehouse. With the help of the escalator, they prepared to climb up to the window and launch a surprise attack.
Some policemen in the concession noticed this situation and immediately sounded the alarm.
"Turn on all the searchlights!" a policeman shouted, "Shine the lights on the Dongyang devils on the warehouse wall, so that they will have nowhere to hide!"
As the order was given, strong lights instantly illuminated the walls of the warehouse, exposing the Dongyang soldiers who were climbing.
