Chapter 901 Banan Tunnel
Chongqing, a section of Banan Tunnel..
It was pouring rain, and turbid clouds were rolling overhead, accompanied by deafening thunder.
Pale lightning tore through the night sky, suddenly and violently pulling out a huge "Z" shape in the dark clouds that could collapse the sky at any time.
The sky and the earth suddenly turned white!
Pa pa pa pa pa~~
Torrential rain like steel balls fell on the rusty rails, and the six armored trains lay across the entrance of the deep and dark tunnel like dormant steel behemoths.
The matte black alloy armor plates reflected a cold light in the pale halo of the searchlight. The darkness outside the beam of light seemed to surge and wriggle like a living thing, as if countless invisible tentacles were coveting the light.
The rain gathered into streams, constantly washing away the blood stains that had long since dried and turned black. The smell of gunpowder mixed with the smell of blood filled the humid air.
At this moment, in this precarious situation, around the armored train, a battalion of nearly 500 railway troops were being quickly deployed in the heavy rain.
These railway troops are dressed in dark green raincoats, with their faces hidden in the hoods and no expression visible. Their main weapons are the newly issued QBZ-191 assault rifles, and the team's support firepower is the 5.8mm QJB-201 squad machine gun.
Each person had four rifle magazines and four grenades in his chest, a black rubber gas mask in his left waist bag, and an army water bottle in his right waist bag.
"Wear a gas mask!" Battalion Commander Gao Qi's voice exploded in the rain through the loudspeaker.
As soon as the words fell, the soldier standing in the rain immediately took action, unzipped the Velcro on the tactical side bag, and took out the black rubber gas mask inside.
Use both hands to hold the elastic bands on both sides of the rubber gas mask at the same time, and while using the gas mask to push open the raincoat hood, put it on from the top of your head.
Huh~~Chi~~
After adjusting the gas masks, the soldiers followed the procedure and blocked the gas filter canisters with their palms to conduct self-inspection to confirm the airtightness.
"it is good!"
"it is good!!"
"it is good!"
..
As the soldiers reported "OK" one after another, Battalion Commander Gao Qi, standing on the footboard of the armored train, issued another order:
"Finally check the ammunition and equipment and make final preparations for the battle!"
Upon hearing this, all the soldiers moved smoothly and in unison, pulling down their tactical headlamps, touching the magazines on their chests, touching the grenades on both sides, and touching the magazines on their guns...
The medical soldier who was mixed in the crowd and carrying a Red Cross tactical backpack and wearing a Red Cross armband was checking his splints, hemostatic packs and other medical equipment.
As for the nuclear-powered privates who were also responsible for logistics, with the assistance of logistics personnel, each of them carried three military green new standard ammunition boxes (3 rounds/box) from the opened door panels of the armored train's material compartment.
The ammunition box weighs 26kg and is drop-proof, smash-proof and waterproof. The bullets inside are vacuum-packed. It is also equipped with 5 ammunition bridge loaders to assist in quick loading of ammunition.
woohoo~~
Just as the railway troops were making tense and orderly pre-war preparations, a faint whimpering sound suddenly came from the tunnel in front of the armored train.
It sounded like the wailing of a lost person, or the low moan of some unknown creature, which was creepy.
Next second
The 25mm machine gun on the roof of the armored train slowly turned under the falling rain, and the metal components made a "clicking" sound of gears meshing in the slightly awkward friction.
As the armored train's massive machine gun was pointed toward the tunnel, the high-power searchlight on the front of the train also fired fiercely into the depths of the dark tunnel!
"Fuck you, I want to see what kind of monsters are in there, fire at me!!"
Battalion Commander Gao Qi was so angry when he heard the strange voice that he started cursing!
As soon as the words fell, the 25mm machine gun on top of the armored train instantly lit up, illuminating the resolute faces of many soldiers in the rain.
Bang bang bang bang~~
25mm high-explosive shells were fired at a rate of 300 rounds per minute, smashing into the tunnel like water.
In an instant, the dark tunnel entrance seemed to be torn open by a blazing door to purgatory!
As the first high-explosive bomb exploded, the incandescent flames instantly burst out like a small sun, dispelling all the darkness within a radius of dozens of meters. The sticky biological traces on the rock wall were exposed under the strong light, and the distorted shadows were projected to be huge and hideous!
Immediately afterwards, one, two, three... dense high-explosive bombs poured down like a torrential rain hitting banana leaves. The shock waves generated by the explosions were like blooming fire lotuses, invading and wreaking havoc with devastating force.
The gravel and dust in the tunnel were swept up and collided violently with the rain in the air, forming turbid air waves.
The mutant creatures that had been lurking in the dark were caught off guard by this sudden destruction. They didn't even have time to scream before they were reduced to ashes.
"stop!"
Seeing that the effect was almost achieved, Battalion Commander Gao Qi simply raised his hand and issued a ceasefire order.
It wasn't that he felt sorry for the ammunition or was soft-hearted, but he was worried that further explosions would cause the tunnel to collapse.
Of course, under normal circumstances the tunnel is not so fragile, but it is always a precaution. After all, the chief of the Yucheng Military Region has just spoken. If there is a problem with the tunnel at this time, it would be tantamount to committing a crime against the wind.
Even if he belongs to the railway troops and is not under the other party's jurisdiction, he is afraid that he will not end up well.
When the sound of the explosion subsided, the thick smoke produced by the explosion was spreading rapidly, mixing with the rain to form a pungent smog.
In the thick smoke of the tunnel, under the direct illumination of the searchlight, the twisted figures of the mutant creatures can be vaguely seen struggling and fleeing...
Seeing this scene, Gao Qi smiled with satisfaction in his heart!
"Scream? Didn't you like to scream just now? Why don't you scream anymore?"
"If you pretend to be a ghost, I will make you a ghost!"
Thinking of this, Gao Qi, who was in the rain, let the raindrops falling on the hood of his raincoat flow over his body like a stream. He picked up the black megaphone again, turned his head and looked at the soldiers of the railway battalion who stood like pine trees on the ground, and said in a heroic tone:
"See? There is nothing that cannot be dealt with by the weapons in our hands. If one shot doesn't work, then we can use 360 shots!!"
"Fire the machine guns and blast them to pieces. Send them to the sky and cremate them!"
"Now tell me, do you have the confidence to resolve the battle within an hour? The advancement speed is faster than that of a fucking tunnel boring machine!!!"
"have!!!"
"have!!!"
"have!!!"
As the railway troops on the scene shouted loudly, the morale at this moment has reached its peak!
"Then go ahead and crush them for me!!"
"Yes!!"
...
"First Company, advance into the tunnel!!"
"Second Company, alert right side!!"
"Company 3, alert left side!"
"Fourth Company, keep it as the general reserve!"
...
Under the command of Battalion Commander Gao Qi, all 500 soldiers were quickly divided into four groups based on companies, and trotted into their respective mission areas with guns in hand.
During the diversion process, rain dripped down the brim of the raincoat onto the gas mask, splashing tiny drops of water. Military boots stepped on the puddles and gravel, making a "pat-pat-pat" sound.
The sound of human voices, rain, and thunder blended into the inky, suffocating night....
...
