Chapter 493 Attacking the Underground Control Room
493
The young and strong men of Bianyue State became more and more courageous as the battle went on. They divided into small groups and attacked the various strongholds of the US Army. In front of a warehouse, more than a dozen young and strong men surrounded the US soldiers who were resisting stubbornly inside.
They threw homemade bombs in, and after the explosions, they rushed in and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the remaining American soldiers. They used fists, daggers, sticks, and every weapon they could, and the American soldiers fell one by one in the splattering blood.
As the battle raged, Base 5 was engulfed in flames and blood. The people of Bianyue, with their own flesh and blood, launched a fierce resistance against the invaders, driven by a single conviction: to annihilate the US military and reclaim their homeland.
From the fuel explosion at Base 5 to the complete capture of the entire US military base, it took only four and a half hours. The young and strong, the elderly, the weak, the women and children of Bianyue State made great contributions.
Knowing that US Base No. 5 had exploded, the young and strong men were all excited, and the entire team's pace increased significantly. The elderly, weak, women and children behind them didn't look like they were unable to go to the battlefield. Everyone was like a shot of chicken blood.
Of course, without the command of the Goddess and the Chinese soldiers, the Bianyue troops fought without any strategy. The entire US military base No. 5 had nearly 100,000 people, but in the end it was not only the momentum of the young and strong men of Bianyue that defeated them.
It was also because when all the American soldiers had used up their bullets and bombs, the American soldiers in charge of the later supply came back from the armory and shouted a few times, which poured cold water on the angry American soldiers.
"Stop charging, we're out of bullets!"
"My God, the arsenal is empty. This war is unwinnable! God is not on our side."
With each weak shout, the American soldiers who were being commanded by the angry commander suddenly became like deflated balls. They simply did not believe what those people said.
However, their guns were indeed out of bullets, and the young men from Bianyue kept throwing smoke bombs of various colors at them. Finally, they threw their guns to the ground helplessly and squatted on the ground.
The people of Bianyue, initially in disbelief, gradually grew excited at the sight. They jumped and danced, overjoyed. But they couldn't find the way forward.
Where is the goddess? She was helping them just now. But where is she now?
Time goes back to an hour ago. Flames shot up into the sky in Base No. 5. The sounds of explosions and screams intertwined into a hellish scene.
Chang Yin and Tang Shengkai tossed and turned among the rubble, finally leaping onto a crumbling rooftop. They hoped to observe the hidden American officers from their perch. The tiles beneath their feet creaked under the weight, and every step felt like plunging into a sea of fire.
Just then, they spotted Tang Yue. Standing on the other side of the rooftop, her figure as tall and straight as a pine tree, her hands moving constantly, she precisely tossed a string of bombs towards the charging Bian Yue soldiers below.
After receiving the bombs, the young men's eyes lit up with even more fighting spirit, and they shouted and rushed towards the American troops. The firelight reflected on Tang Yue's face, outlining her resolute outline.
Tang Shengkai's eyes lit up, and he was about to call out to her, raising his foot to meet her. However, Chang Yin grabbed his arm and looked around warily. The surroundings were filled with smoke, and he didn't know how many enemies were hiding in the dark.
But before they could make any move, Tang Yue appeared in front of them like a ghost, bringing with her a gust of fierce wind.
"Take it!" Tang Yue said only two short words, and her hands moved quickly, stuffing a lot of bullets and bombs into the bodies of Zhang Yin and Tang Shengkai. The two men subconsciously caught them, and the heavy ammunition made them feel very safe.
Tang Yue looked at the two men with a burning gaze. "Captain, Dad, I know the location of the highest commander at Base 5. He's in the core command room on the third underground floor. It's currently heavily defended. But after the battle outside is over, I think he might destroy the entire command center."
Chang Yin and Tang Shengkai exchanged a glance. Without further ado, they both understood Tang Yue's intention. Gripping their weapons tightly, they turned and ran towards their target.
The base was in shambles after the explosion. The stairwell walls were cracked, the chandelier overhead was precarious, and debris occasionally fell from above. They carefully avoided the bodies and scattered weapons on the ground. The base was now full of danger.
"Be careful!" Chang Yin suddenly shouted in a low voice and pulled Tang Shengkai aside.
Almost instantly, a bullet grazed Tang Shengkai's ear and struck the wall behind him, sending up a shower of debris. The two men quickly ducked into a corner, warily observing their surroundings. Several American soldiers rushed out from around the corner, guns in hand, their eyes gleaming with madness.
Chang Yin and Tang Shengkai looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding.
Chang Yin was the first to lean forward and fire at the enemy, while Tang Shengkai took the opportunity to circumvent the enemy's flank. Bullets whizzed through the narrow passage, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder.
An American soldier was hit in the shoulder by Chang Yin and fell to the ground with a scream, but the other soldiers did not retreat at all. Instead, they fought back even more frantically.
Tang Shengkai found an opportunity from the side, rushed forward, and smashed the butt of his rifle into a soldier's head. The soldier fell to the ground, unable to resist.
Chang Yin was even more efficient, quickly dispatching the other two soldiers. However, the sound of gunfire attracted more enemies.
"Don't fight too long, speed up!" Chang Yin whispered. The two of them stopped fighting and used the terrain as cover to quickly move towards the entrance of the third underground floor.
Along the way, they were constantly blocked by American soldiers on the road, but the two of them managed to escape safely with their keen intuition and skills.
Finally, they arrived at the entrance to the third underground floor. There were two fully armed American guards standing at the entrance, watching their surroundings vigilantly, their guns ready to shoot at any time.
Chang Yin and Tang Shengkai crouched in the corner, observing the guards' patrol patterns. A moment later, they seized their opportunity and attacked simultaneously. Chang Yin quickly dispatched the guard on the left, while Tang Shengkai charged at the guard on the right.
The two men's movements were clean and neat, without making any unnecessary noise.
After dealing with the guards, they carefully entered the third underground floor.
The base's ground buildings were in ruins after the explosion, but the passage leading to the underground control room was like another world.
The thick reinforced concrete walls were a cold, hard gray-black color. Incandescent lamps emitted glaring light at intervals. The old-fashioned exhaust fans overhead were buzzing, barely dispelling the pungent smell of gunpowder in the air.
"Something's wrong." Chang Yin suddenly lowered his voice and pointed the gun at the iron door at the end of the corridor ahead.
The iron door was half a person's thickness and covered with rivets. Four heavy machine guns mounted on fixed gun mounts protruded from the walls on both sides. The black muzzles were slowly adjusting their angles as the gears turned.
Tang Shengkai took out the brass key he had seized from the American soldier's corpse and inserted it into the lock next to the iron gate. With a click, a scarlet warning immediately popped up on the electronic screen: "Illegal intrusion, alarm activated!"
A sharp alarm sounded throughout the corridor in an instant, and the heavy machine gun was the first to spit out tongues of fire.
Chang Yin suddenly pulled Tang Shengkai to the corner, and the bullets hit the concrete wall, splashing gravel.
"Go through the ventilation duct!" Chang Yin shouted, pulling out the blasting tube from his waist. With a loud bang, a gap was blown open in the ventilation duct above their heads, and the two of them quickly climbed in through the thick smoke.
The air ducts were filled with the smell of rust, their walls scorching hot and covered with raised weld lines. The cramped space forced them to crawl forward. Every step they took hurt their knees, and sweat mixed with dust flowed into their eyes, stinging them.
Finally, they found the vent leading to the command room.
Chang Yin pried open the grille with a bayonet, and a strong smell of engine oil hit him. Below, the core command room was lit with dim incandescent lights. A huge vacuum tube computer occupied half a wall, and its indicator lights flashed continuously.
Supreme Commander William Hansen was pacing in front of a long table covered with maps. Behind him stood eight fully armed elite guards, each wearing a heavy steel breastplate and holding an MM16 rifle with a silencer in his hand.
