Chapter 1486: Crimson Galaxy Suppression Operation (13)

It was still early in the morning, and the crimson stars had not yet shown their presence, but the faint light had made the night fade slightly, and looking up one could see the special light red sky on this planet.

It was still early in the morning, and most people were asleep. Of course, this was still a war, so patrols and guards were necessary.

"Squad leader, look at this fog, isn't it abnormal?"

In the small observation post at the edge of the position, the recruit said:

"I've never seen such a thick fog."

"Say something good, the density of this fog is actually normal."

The squad leader stared at the fog that was getting thicker and thicker, and could hardly see a few meters away and said:

"It was written in the information before coming here that it is easy to have thick fog here. I knew you kid must not have read it carefully."

"Hehe, it's so thick, how can I have time to read it? If I like reading, I wouldn't come to the army."

The squad leader glanced at him and sighed:

"Watch outside, it's time for scheduled contact."

Yesterday's battle has left the trenches dug by the Red Maple Republic riddled with holes. Even with the help of engineering machinery in the remaining time, it is impossible to arrange the trenches.

The Red Maple Republic Army will definitely counterattack, and everyone is mentally prepared for this, so early warning is extremely important.

The squad leader squatted down and fiddled with the walkie-talkie that he had to carry on his back. He quickly contacted the scouts patrolling outside. After a conversation, he confirmed that there was no abnormality and reported the matter to the rear.

"I don't know what's going on with the fleet."

"It's almost over."

The squad leader turned off the walkie-talkie and said:

"Last night, I heard that a fleet-sized reinforcement came from the Red Maple Republic, but we still have the advantage in terms of manpower. Today or tomorrow at the latest, we should be able to decide the outcome."

"I heard that the treatment on the ship is good, but it's too tiring."

"Nonsense, otherwise why do you give such high treatment?"

The squad leader took out the cigarette box on his body, opened it and saw that it was empty, so he had to throw it away and said:

"Our army is already safe, and the casualty rate is not too high. If you are really in the fleet, once the ship explodes, you can't run away. ”

The new recruit took out his cigarette and gave it to the squad leader:

“Squad leader, you participated in the battle to retake Stantum, right? Can you tell me about it?”

“What is there to tell? It’s almost the same as now.”

Holding the cigarette in his mouth, the squad leader reached for the lighter. At this time, he heard the new recruit say:

“Actually, I was born in Stantum. When the Red Maple Republic started to invade, I happened to go abroad to study. When the Meteor Operation was launched, I was still in the new recruit camp.”

The squad leader heard it:

“Okay, tell me, don’t forget to watch out.”

There are quite a lot of new recruits from Stantum, and many of them choose to join the army after regaining lost territory.

Stantum is the only habitable planet occupied by the Red Maple Republic, and the local civilians have a strong desire for revenge.

The squad leader did not ask about the new recruit’s family situation. After all, for soldiers from Stantum, this is likely to be a minefield.

After spending a few minutes talking about it, the squad leader lit the cigarette with a lighter.

"You are indeed a veteran. You can survive such a dangerous situation."

Old?

The squad leader actually joined the army after the war was declared, just one or two months earlier than the new recruit.

He became the squad leader not because of his outstanding performance, but because he was the only one left in the whole squad.

However, the squad leader did not refute. Seeing that the new recruit's lighter was not working well, he handed over his lighter.

"Wow, what a beautiful lighter, squad leader, isn't it cheap?"

"My father gave it to me before I left home. He told me to bring something valuable with me. If I was captured, I could bribe the guards to be better."

Although the old man was unforgiving, the squad leader's lighter was engraved with sparks on one side and candlelight on the other.

In his hometown, giving someone a "lamp" with the intention of wishing you can find your way home at any time.

Putting away the lighter, the new recruit was about to pester the squad leader to talk about the previous battle, but the squad leader suddenly signaled him not to speak.

In the silent fog, the white smoke like liquid slowly flowed along the grooves on the ground, and it was terrifyingly quiet.

The recruit was a little confused, but the squad leader had quietly put his hand on the gun.

"Something is wrong, you keep an eye on the outside, I'll contact the patrol team."

The squad leader didn't hear any sound, but the atmosphere did change. It's hard to say whether this is a special perception, but it is precisely because of his keenness that he was able to survive the previous battlefield.

The squad leader immediately squatted down and operated the walkie-talkie.

But the bad premonition came true. The patrol team that had just contacted a few minutes ago, no one answered no matter how he called.

The squad leader immediately contacted the rear, but at this time there was a terrible crackling sound in the receiver.

"The wireless communication was interfered by human beings, immediately send out the signal flare!"

The recruit's heart was lifted up in an instant. He hurriedly followed the squad leader's instructions, walked out of the observation post in a brisk step, and pulled the trigger towards the sky.

A striking orange-red flare quickly rose into the air, and the recruit was surprised to find that when he fired the flare, flares of the same color rose from other places.

It seemed that everyone realized that something was wrong.

The squad leader immediately put on his mobile phone and simply threw away other things in the simple outpost. He grabbed the gun and said:

"Let's go, it's not safe here, we have to go back immediately."

The recruit nodded nervously, and the two hurriedly ran in the direction of the main force along the dilapidated trenches that had been bombed during the day.

At this time, a burst of mechanical roar broke into the ears of the two people. It sounded like a crawler-type vehicle, and the number was obviously very large.

The counterattack force of the Red Maple Republic actually took advantage of the thick fog to get close to the observation post before being discovered.

The flare played its intended role, and the alarm sounded that could wake up the whole city. The squad leader could imagine the guys in the dream jumping out of bed and putting on clothes when they heard the alarm.

"Squad leader, is the noise getting closer?"

"Don't think blindly, just concentrate on running."

The monitor said:

"To stop at this time is to seek death, and you will be run over by the armored troops. Don't worry, we are in the trenches, and it is in the dark. Others are unlikely to see it. Just don't make too much noise and run as fast as possible."

As soon as the squad leader finished speaking, he heard a shrill whistle in the sky, which sounded like the sound of a cannonball falling from the sky and rubbing against the air.

"Lie down!"

The squad leader pinned the new recruit under him with a swift movement, and then a violent explosion and flying dust hit both of them.

The shell exploded about ten meters in front of the two of them. Judging from the size of the crater, the caliber of the shell should not be large. This was a blessing among misfortunes.

"Be smart and get down as soon as you hear the sound. Get up now, we have to keep running!"

The new recruits have been completely frightened. The training time for them is too short, and it is difficult for them to achieve the technical and tactical level of the standing forces in peacetime.

Artillery shells exploded around them one after another. Especially when they walked near the damaged trenches that had been bombed during the day, they always felt as if shrapnel could tear them apart at any time.

The squad leader knew that the thick fog also affected the Red Maple Republic Army who was trying to counterattack. Their artillery was testing the target. In this case, unless they were very unlucky, they should not be hit.

However, no one can guarantee that their luck will always be good.

At this time, the two saw several friendly troops appearing in the trench in front. They must have run out from the observation post and were about to join them.

The sudden push on his back instantly swept the squad leader down. The moment he fell to the ground, he realized that a shell had exploded behind him.

Then his consciousness went blank, and he couldn't perceive anything...
