"beep……"
Several communication buglers immediately began to blow the bugles, passing information to each other and making the sound throughout the barracks. The restoration of the bugle system was effective under the circumstances of unstable electronic equipment.
Several horn sounds of varying lengths signaled the military order to urgently assemble and prepare for departure.
The surrounding officers quickly counted the soldiers under their jurisdiction and prepared them.
"Quick, quick, get your weapons! Each squad should carry an ammunition box and a set of individual radio equipment!"
Even though wireless communication is of no use for the time being, it is still necessary to carry it.
Some teams of soldiers were covered in dust in the earthquake, and some were still shaking their heads, but their bodies had reacted before their brains and they all started running.
Fighters from the entire regiment gathered in front of the trucks and armored vehicles one after another.
"Check the condition of the vehicle, check the fuel level, everyone get in the car, everyone get in the car!"
The regiment commander was followed by the guard. Twisting his still sore arm, he took the helmet from the guard while running, and then rushed to a jeep with a Gatling gun on top.
"Let's go! Let's go! We can't wait any longer!"
“Beep, beep…beep…”
The bugle sounded again, and the half-collapsed camp gate was carried away by several soldiers at the door. Ten seconds later, the first military vehicle roared past.
“Woo~” “Woo~” “Woo~” “Woo~”…
As a mechanized infantry regiment, the entire military camp can put into use nearly a hundred vehicles of various sizes, and the rushing traffic has the momentum of a steel torrent.
Naturally, there were also soldiers who were unable to get on the vehicle first. They either ran to catch up or looked for available vehicles.
Fortunately, this period is a special one. Apart from production activities, there are very few cars on the road, so the road conditions are still acceptable.
Occasionally, a vehicle would stop on the side of the road, and the owner would look around blankly, obviously not having recovered from the shock he had suffered before.
There were several jeeps and two armored vehicles in the front, and troop transport trucks behind them.
"Check your guns, check your ammunition, and each person should carry two grenades..."
The officers in the car kept repeating the precautions.
The heartbeats of all the soldiers, including the commander, were very fast.
"Platoon leader, will we die..."
"Bullshit! You still want to live forever!"
The man checking his gun, the reliability of Type 95 was widely criticized by the army. Even the upgraded and export version of Type 97 had some problems. Moreover, in order to deal with alien monsters, the power was not ideal. Therefore, a large part of the front-line troops have begun to replace the new Type 19 7.62mm caliber rifle.
It is the model in the platoon leader's hand. It has a large-capacity front-end magazine design, standard guide rails and machine sights on the upper part, and is sturdy, durable and reliable.
The disadvantage is that the gun is slightly larger than previous rifles, heavier, and has stronger recoil.
But nowadays, soldiers' physical fitness has generally improved a lot compared with the past, and they are fully capable of handling this new weapon.
After checking the guns, Paichang looked at the pairs of nervous eyes in the car. Although these young soldiers had never experienced war, they had seen the corpses of monsters. While gaining courage and experience, they would inevitably have some psychological trauma.
"Who isn't afraid of death? I've been a soldier for so long. I won't tell you much about the principles of going to the battlefield. I'll just tell you one thing, which is the experience of veterans who have fought monsters from other worlds on the front line!"
"If you don't want to die, you must kill the enemy. The more afraid you are, the faster you will die! If you fire 5 shots and think the enemy is dead, then you'd better fire 5 more shots!"
"Do you understand?"
…
“Ah!!” “Poof…”
In front of Zhang Zhenyu's family of three, a familiar neighbor aunt was pierced by a disgusting tail.
"Drive, drive and run!!"
The vehicles in the parking space in the community in front were tilted due to the earthquake, but it also reminded his wife of their own car, and she felt the car keys in her pocket.
Apparently they were not the only ones who thought so, as many people ran towards the cars.
“Ah… help me…” “Mom…” “Wuwu…” “Go to hell, I’ll smash it…”…
There were all kinds of chaotic sounds, blood everywhere, monsters everywhere, and people fleeing.
What’s even more creepy is that some of the screams and shouts are not made by humans, but by monsters imitating people’s voices, which is more terrifying than simple roars.
In just a few dozen meters of sight, there were only a few people who had reached the parking lot. Blood and filth were everywhere. People were either dead or fleeing in other directions.
Parking lots are dangerous places with dense crowds of people. It is a miracle that Zhang Zhenyu and his family rushed here.
“Woo…”
A commercial vehicle started up, and the owners were an elderly couple from the same unit.
"Hurry, hurry, Zhenyu Xiaohui, get in the car!"
At this time, there was no time to worry about whether to find their own car. Several people nearby, including Zhenyu's family, rushed into the car.
As an experienced driver, Master Gu stepped on the accelerator and the vehicle rushed out with a friction sound.
"Bang~"
The car jolted violently and ran over the upper body of a corpse. The little girl in the car burst into tears, thinking that she was being chased by a monster.
"Be careful, Lao Gu, there's that thing ahead!!!"
"Oh shit!!"
Master Gu gritted his teeth and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The engine roared and accelerated after dozens of meters.
With a loud "bang", the car hit the monster. The whole car swayed and the thing was knocked away. It was obvious that it felt the impact of the car.
"Hahahaha, what a jerk!!! I have two layers of steel plates welded to the front of my car, just in case!!"
Old Gu was a little crazy after surviving the robbery, but his driving skills were still good. He made a sharp turn and drifted onto the main road.
"Go east, there are troops stationed there!"
There was only one car that drove out of the entire community, and no one knew how many of the others could survive. There was noise all around, and people could be seen running away and monsters appearing from time to time.
It can be seen that the monster did not only appear in their community.
Lao Gu didn't dare to stop the car at all. Even if someone on the roadside called for help, as soon as he wanted to stop, he would find monsters rushing towards him faster than them. After doing this many times, he became numb and could only rush eastward for his life. When he met a few other cars in the middle, they were also in a panic and didn't know which way to go.
Two cars rushed past me at high speed, and I must have been stepping on the accelerator out of fear.
The more times like this, the more they couldn't afford to make mistakes. Seeing their car moving unsteadily, Lao Gu and Zhang Zhenyu felt a pang in their hearts.
Sure enough, one of the cars in front overturned in order to avoid a body.
With a loud "boom".
Another car was also affected, and the two vehicles collided and spun several times on the road.
The cars behind slammed on their brakes and finally stopped with the sound of harsh tire friction.
"Down, down, down!! Try another route!!"
Zhang Zhenyu leaned his head out from the passenger seat and yelled at the car behind.
“Help…Help…”
The people in the accident vehicle ahead were shouting in despair. They were more afraid of being attacked by monsters while staying in the vehicle than the possible spontaneous combustion or explosion of the vehicle.
The people who saw this scene struggled internally, but a few approaching monsters quickly extinguished that trace of worry.
This monster isn't very fast, but at least it's faster than a human, so no one dares to get off the car.
"Mother……"
The two and a half year old girl from the Zhang family has seen death many times today and her body is shaking all the time.
"Don't look, Nannan... Don't look..."
Except for Lao Gu who stepped on the accelerator and reversed to create distance, everyone else was still subconsciously looking into the distance. The seven or eight people in the two cars were obviously aware of their fate, and those who were still conscious kept crying.
“Sizzle~~~~~~~~~~~”
It was like the sound of a chainsaw cutting through hard wood.
“Puff”, “Puff”, “Puff”, “Puff”…
The seven or eight monsters gathered in the front were turned into sieves in a few seconds.
“Woo~” “Woo~” “Woo~”…
Suddenly, there were a lot of motor roars on the surrounding roads, and several military vehicles with flames spewing out of them roared past the intersection where they were planning to take a detour.
“Da da da da…” “Bang bang bang bang…”
“Boom~” “Boom~” “Bang” “Bang”…
For a moment, there were gunshots everywhere.
Lao Gu and Zhang Zhenyu were stunned, and the women in the car couldn't help but cover their mouths. They were too frightened to cry just now, but now they couldn't hold back their tears.
The army has finally arrived!
Some figures in camouflage uniforms appeared near the two cars in front. They dragged the trapped people out of the cars, and then ordered the troop transport trucks behind them to violently crash into the vehicles blocking the road.
“Woo~” “Woo~”
Military vehicles drove by, loaded with soldiers armed to the teeth.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
“Sizzle~~~~~~~”
The Gatling guns and various large-caliber guns on several military vehicles fired continuously at the surrounding targets.
Lao Gu and several other cars just stopped on the side of the road, staring blankly.
It was not until a soldier rushed over and told them to evacuate eastward quickly that they woke up and set off again.
"Are we saved?"
Old Gu looked at Zhang Zhenyu with a pale face, his voice still trembling.
…
As the survivors sighed with fear, the military convoys advanced in a goose formation from various roads.
The sound of gunfire was sometimes loud, sometimes soft, sometimes sparse, sometimes dense.
On the troop carrier, orders from the regiment headquarters came through the class intercom. Although a little unclear, this short-range, high-power radio equipment was at least usable.
The officer in the car immediately gave orders to the soldiers.
"Get out of the car and move forward, and cover each other in squads!"
In addition to building positions, they also had to spread out to nearby residential areas and public places to search for survivors.
With the dense firepower of modern automatic weapons, that kind of monster can't make any waves unless it gets close to you.
"Help~~Help, help...help~~"
A woman's voice was heard intermittently, just behind a building. Several soldiers carefully went over to check, but found no one there.
"careful!"
"Bang" "Bang"
Two concrete guardrails were swept down from a high place and hit three soldiers. Two of them fell to the ground unconscious immediately, while the other two were pushed away by their comrades and were fine.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
Amid the raging gunfire, several ugly monsters dodging above were immediately swept into pieces of blood and flesh.
“Ah~ah~”
More screaming monsters rushed out from the nearby corridors, and other soldiers in the army who heard the noise also rushed over to provide timely support.
Some survivors hiding in the houses heard the gunshots and realized that the army had arrived, so they seized the opportunity to escape from their hiding places.
The temporary regiment headquarters was built on the rooftop of a small building near the intersection where the battle first took place. The high-power radio station could barely operate here, and only the ultra-short wave linear communication was somewhat effective, but it was not stable either, let alone contacting the division headquarters and other superior units.
At several intersections below, roadblocks and firing points have been set up, and there are machine gun positions, snipers and rocket launchers on the roofs of several nearby buildings.
Some of the rescued people were evacuated from the intersection. Most of them were in a miserable state and were still in shock. Many of them were covered in blood. It must have been that many of them had close encounters with death.
The regiment commander held a cigarette between his teeth and stood on the rooftop, watching the soldiers within his sight through a telescope. As long as he could see them, the regiment's radio station could intermittently contact the front.
The sounds of gunfire and explosions continued to ring out in the two sectors on the left and right sides of the front. Even though casualties began to increase, the firepower continued to advance.
From the current point of view, one can see reflections of help coming from glass mirrors on some buildings in Xicheng District.
“Roar~~~~~”
A huge roar sounded from deep within Xicheng District and echoed all the way back to the regiment headquarters.
