C14 (1/2)
At one o'clock in the morning, sixteen thousand of us, eight hundred chariots, and three hundred volley cannons were sent to support the base camp.
At 1: 20 A.M., at the behest of the commander, our attack on the enemy flank began. We fired our full firepower, killing and wounding the enemy, but the enemy did not launch a powerful counterattack against us. They only suppressed us with fire from the sky, most of it still concentrated on the two trenches in front of the base. It looks like they're planning to take down the base camp first. After all, our base camp's flank is being attacked by an enemy force. At this moment, they could only see who wouldn't be able to hold on first.
After a full hour of fighting, suddenly the fire at Base Camp started to shoot at the unit in front of us, and soon another twenty thousand troops came rushing out from the south. I don't know where this crowd from the south came from, but didn't they say that the southern trenches had been taken?
The sudden emergence of the friendly forces attacked the enemy before us, turning into a three-sided attack, and soon the enemy began to retreat. We did not pursue him, but instead went back to rest at base camp.
Only now do I know that the southern region has fallen. The news shocked me. That was a large army of over a hundred thousand people, and they were defeated in a single day?
They retreated from the southern zone and headed to our eastern zone. The twenty thousand men that suddenly appeared to the south were from the southern zone, a total of forty thousand men. They split into two teams and attacked the enemy troops that were attacking the base from both sides.
There were now sixteen thousand men who had retreated from the northern trenches, twenty thousand from the base, and twenty thousand wounded in the eastern war zone.
The southern battle zone was even more miserable. The base camp had been captured, and only 40,000 people had escaped, of which 5,000 were wounded. And there were eighty thousand soldiers chasing after them, this made them very worried.
Soon, another grievous news came. The western war zone had also fallen, and there were still 30,000 people retreating towards the northern war zone. And they were being pursued by sixty thousand enemy troops.
In Han Xifei's northern battle arena, more than 20,000 people also died, and she was also injured by more than 10,000. Currently, it was the best battle force. They were facing a hundred thousand enemy troops, and now they were at an end. But soon, the next battle would begin.
After consultation with the commander of the four battle zones, the southern and western battle zones had been occupied and the enemy's encirclement had completely disintegrated. Right now the enemy only needed to concentrate their forces to attack the northern or eastern battle zones.
Therefore, General Zhao Feng, General Han Xi and the other two generals decided to retreat together. They were stationed on the north bank of a large river called Tiesha River that was a hundred kilometers away. This river was five hundred meters wide, and from beginning to end, it was eight hundred kilometers.
With the river as the boundary, they fought against the enemy from the south. This order surprised us soldiers, because to the south of the river is to abandon the six cities in the south. Originally, the enemy only had one city, could it be that we lost so miserably in this battle?
Although I am unwilling, I do not understand military affairs, so I have no choice but to obey orders.
The troops decided to retreat at three in the morning, and decided to leave two thousand men in the city to hold the enemy until three in the afternoon. Apparently, this was an impossible task, and the troops of over five hundred thousand people could only hold it for twelve hours, so how could two thousand people hold it for twelve hours?
However, I still chose to join the postmortem mission. Because, I think that in this kind of city filled with tall buildings, if you can't defend against the enemy's attack, you can hide inside the structure anytime you want. Moreover, I have Doudou's trump card, which should be able to save my life.
I am the only one left in our class who can fight. Da Niu, Mouse and Wang Xinhua have all been severely injured, the rest have all died in battle, even the class monitor has died in battle. This makes me feel a little uncomfortable, but I don't feel too sad.
Without time to say goodbye to the others, the main force began to pull back, and one of the commanders began to lecture the soldiers behind us. We don't know his name, but he just calls him Captain Zhao. He looks very young, but his eyes are filled with determination, giving us a sense of security.
After saying a few words to boost the morale, he began to talk about strategy.
At 3: 10 in the morning, a thousand people were stationed at the base camp. The lights in the base camp would light up, giving off the impression that the main force was still at the base camp. This was obviously an empty city trap. After that was rest.
After a night of this, nothing happened.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the scouts discovered that the enemy army was pressing in.
Captain Zhao didn't let us defend the base camp, but retreated to the base camp's back door, waiting for the monsters to step on the mines before attacking. These were all plans that had been agreed upon last night.
Sure enough, the monster rushed in and started the mine. As for the rest of us, we attacked while retreating.
Landmines caused considerable casualties to monsters, but monsters did not fear mines. Still charging forward. After twenty minutes, they were eight hundred meters away, and we were back at the city entrance.
Captain Zhao shouted: Enter the buildings by the side of the road, each one of you fight for yourselves. It was part of the plan.
We all went into the buildings by the side of the road. My comrades went to a garage. I saw a crowbar on the wall, it looked very similar to the one I used at Lin Family Ridge. I picked it up and looked around to see that there was another grinder. After starting up the grinder and sharpening the tip of the metal rod, my actions piqued the curiosity of my comrades around me.
One person asked, ”What about sharpening our weapons?”
I answered, Yes.
Are you planning to go out and fight with the aliens? A woman's voice.
I jumped, picked up the iron rod and swept it out. However, a person was holding me in one hand. Instinctively, I kicked that person and knocked him down to the ground. All the guns were pointed at me.
It was only then that I saw that the one I kicked was Captain Zhao. Next to him were four medical girls.
