Chapter 909 Destruction
Chongqing Banan Tunnel Group
The darkness at five o'clock in the morning was like a quilt soaked in ink, weighing heavily on the railway camp.
Although the rain has weakened at this moment, it is still dripping. The fine rain mixed with the thick smell of gunpowder and rot in the air is like a sticky net, wrapping people up and making it hard to breathe...
Bang bang bang bang~~~
BOOM! !
The intense firing continued, and the flickering flames almost illuminated half of the valley.
The scene was devastated. The dense forests on both sides of the railway were almost turned upside down. A large number of broken limbs and twisted vines accumulated in the charred craters. As the gunfire and mutant creatures collided violently,
Penetrating, tearing, splattering... the red mist filled the air... it was tiny pieces of flesh and blood floating in the air...
zizizi~~
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Ammunition at point 4!! Ammunition at point 4!"
"Everyone at point 7 is dead, the reserve team is here!!!"
"Point 11 can't hold on any longer. Call for support! Call for support!!"
...
Amid the chaotic and rapid calls on the radio communication channel, teams of railway soldiers wearing dark green raincoats and black rubber gas masks, holding various light and heavy weapons, staggered between the positions on both sides of the tracks.
...
"Yes Yes!"
“Understood!”
Inside the armored train compartment equipped with the communication module, the railway battalion commander was soaked all over, his hands holding the intercom turned white due to the rain.
"Captain Gao Qi, the theater commanders and military commanders have taken your predicament very seriously. All kinds of support have been fully activated. Please persevere no matter what!"
Listening to the encouragement coming from the communicator, Gao Qi, the commander of the Railway Battalion, wiped the rain off his face fiercely and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Please rest assured, the entire Railway Battalion will never let you down and will definitely hold on until support arrives!"
After hanging up the phone, Railway Battalion Commander Gao Qi's face immediately showed excitement. Sure enough, the war zone would not give up on them!
Besides this, what made him even happier was that his idea coincided with the military district’s order - abandon the outside positions and retreat into the tunnel!
However, his order was more radical than that of the military district. Retreating into the tunnel was not entirely a matter of defending, but rather concentrating troops to break through the tunnel at all costs before the black tide broke through the defense line!
All the ammunition they have will be used up if they just defend. The only way to survive is to break through the tunnel!
It was precisely because of this idea that even at the most dangerous moment of the outer defense line, he was unwilling to recall the company of troops that were still clearing and advancing in the tunnel.
To this end, long before the military district order came down, he had already asked the accompanying technical personnel to start repairing the track section that had been previously destroyed by machine guns.
"First Company! First Company! Please reply if you receive this!" Railway Battalion Commander Gao Qi picked up the walkie-talkie and called.
Zizzi~~
Bang bang bang bang~~
"I received it in a row. Please speak!"
On the other end of the intercom, the rumbling sound of gunfire erupted in the narrow tunnel, like the sound of firecrackers setting off in bed, which made the battalion commander Gao Qi subconsciously raise the volume:
"Captain, what is the plan for advancing and clearing the tunnel?"
"Report to the battalion commander. We have now cleared space large enough to accommodate the armored train and the entire battalion's soldiers. At the same time, the tracks and the defensive fortifications on both sides of the tracks have been repaired and completed!" the company commander on the other end of the walkie-talkie shouted at the top of his voice.
Hearing this, Battalion Commander Gao Qi felt relieved and immediately ordered: "The first company will suspend its advance and prepare to fully support the troops in retreating!"
"Yes!"
After connecting with the first company, Battalion Commander Gao Qi immediately began to call the entire battalion:
"Attention to all companies in the entire battalion! Attention to all companies in the entire battalion! I am the battalion commander Gao Qi! I am the battalion commander Gao Qi! Please reply if you get it! Please reply if you get it!"
"Received in a row!"
"Received twice!"
"Fourth Company received!"
"Three consecutive received!"
After confirming that all companies had received the message, Battalion Commander Gao Qi solemnly ordered: "Immediately execute the emergency evacuation plan! Repeat, immediately execute the emergency evacuation plan!"
"The evacuation plan is as follows. The 100th Company will immediately become the rear guard and take turns to cover the main force! Build mobile firepower points in squads and retreat meters every five minutes to ensure the integrity of the defense line!"
"Second and third companies immediately organize the transfer of the wounded to the armored train carriages, giving priority to protecting the heavy firepower operators! The armored train activates the second-level defense mode, closes the carriage interface, and the crew immediately drives the train into the tunnel!"
After saying this, Battalion Commander Gao Qi took a deep breath and glanced at the position that was about to collapse:
"All units! Be sure to complete the evacuation deployment within 5 minutes! Company commanders must keep communications open and report the real-time evacuation progress every 30 seconds!"
"Remember, the tunnel is our last line of defense! Anyone who delays orders or acts without authorization will be punished by military law! Now, act!"
As soon as the words fell, the armored train's diesel engine roared deafeningly. The searchlight on the front of the train drew two pale beams of light in the rain, illuminating the tunnel entrance that represented the way out.
At the same time, the sluggish defenders on the positions on the left and right sides of the train began to move towards the tunnel under the organization of their respective squad and platoon leaders.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!! Hurry up!! Take as much ammunition as you can and throw it into the train cars!!"
At this moment, the doors on both sides of the armored train's ammunition compartment have been completely opened. Unlike before, now boxes of ammunition are quickly moved from the positions to the compartments.
In a hurry, the soldiers didn't care about handling the things with care and just threw the boxes in like bricks.
However, just when all the soldiers' hearts were in their throats and they were holding back their last bit of strength, suddenly, the sky lit up with white light!
Boo hoo hoo~~~~
"What is that?!" Someone exclaimed at the sharp sound like the horn of death.
Battalion commander Gao Qi raised his head suddenly and saw four missiles with long bow-shaped orange-red tail flames, like a string of meteors from the sky, cutting through the thick rain and dark clouds and smashing towards the dense group of mutant monsters!
For a moment, this vigorous buzzing sound, symbolizing the power of destruction, even drowned out the roars of the mutated creatures and the roars of heavy gunfire!
Song~~~~~
BOOM~~~~~~~~~
At the moment the first missile hit the ground and exploded, the air was instantly ignited, and a dazzling white light suddenly burst out.
The sky and the earth suddenly flashed white!
Then came the second one! The third one! The fourth one! The successive explosions of missiles caused a violent shock in the surrounding mountains!
The earth is shaking!
The temperature at the core of the explosion soared to thousands of degrees Celsius in an instant. The "meat mountain monster" that was as high as seven or eight stories collapsed and melted in the high temperature at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like an ice cream strawberry tower under the scorching sun!
Dark green pus and blood splattered and vaporized, gushing out into a huge mushroom cloud of blood mist. In this cloud with a diameter of tens of meters, there were burning pieces of flesh, twisted bones, and crystal fragments that had not yet completely vaporized...
The whole scene was like a rainstorm of flesh, blood, and metal pouring down.
At the same time, a huge shock wave spread out in a circular shape with the missile landing point as the center, creating a violent storm in all directions!
Wherever it went, the ground trembled like waves, and the mutant vines and monsters clinging to the meat mountain were instantly shattered by the air waves. The vines were torn into green flocs, and the monsters' bodies were rolled up like pieces of paper and smashed heavily against the tunnel wall, splashing large amounts of blood...
