The source of this roar definitely cannot be the monster we encountered before.
Including the regiment commander, officers in several nearby buildings were all using binoculars to search for possible targets.
Drones are also unusable now. Even if we don’t use them to transmit images in real time and just let them take pictures, they cannot be effectively controlled.
The ideal situation at this time is for the division headquarters to send a helicopter as soon as possible.
…
Deep inside a high-rise building in Xicheng District, twenty soldiers are advancing floor by floor.
Just now, someone here used glass reflection to send a distress signal to distant troops.
There are comrades holding guns on several sides of the building, so there is no need to worry about monsters suddenly jumping out from behind the curtain wall glass. This allows the soldiers to concentrate on preventing monsters from entering the house, saving a lot of energy.
There were no people or monsters on the first six or seven floors except for bloodstains. Only a faint stench mixed with the smell of blood filled the building.
After just half an hour of fighting, the ammunition was replenished six times.
Unlike the civil wars among humans, it is not enough to just use point-fire to deal with these monsters, and most of the time, sweeping fire is used.
Not only are they more agile, but they also have very strong vitality.
Even though great care was taken, some soldiers were still injured or killed by monsters on the roadside that seemed to be "dead".
The search of the eighth floor was completed, and there was still no survivor.
The soldiers had serious expressions, their clothes were mostly half soaked with sweat, and the sweat on their faces made them look like their faces were covered with a layer of oil.
After all, it is late winter and early spring now, and the weather is cold. The warmth-retaining ability of clothes at this time is reduced, causing many people to have cold hands and feet.
“Da da da da da…”
Fierce gunfire was heard at the entrance of the corridor, and the soldiers of the 86th Group rushed over immediately.
A lot of monsters, still covered in blood, came down from the ninth floor.
“Help…Help…” “Ah…don’t…ah uh uh no…”
Listening to these strange sounds imitating human cries for help made the soldiers furious. If it weren't for the fact that people still needed to climb the stairs, they would have wanted to throw grenades.
“Bang, bang, bang…” “Da, da, da…”
Subsequent supporting firepower also arrived. The firepower of only three or four guns seemed particularly dense in this narrow staircase, and dark blood continued to splatter.
Whoosh~
A disgusting tail shot over and a soldier narrowly avoided it. They had seen unlucky guys who thought they had suppressed the enemy but were hit by this kind of cold attack before.
“Bang~” “Crack” “Bang~” “Crack” “Bang~”…
Two soldiers armed with shotguns stepped forward, firing cross-fire, and high-powered shotgun shells bombarded them.
The soldiers maintained suppressive fire and advanced, and after more than ten seconds of exchange of fire, they killed nine monsters cleanly and efficiently.
In the ancient era of cold weapons, if you wanted to destroy these creatures in a hurry, it would probably cost a lot, but now the casualties are 0 to 9.
The soldiers of this regiment went from being a little panicked at the beginning to gradually stabilizing themselves later. The casualty rate continued to increase as they advanced deeper into the location, but their fighting will was greatly strengthened.
Continue to advance to the top floor, the 22nd floor.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
Finally, the twentieth monster fell in a pool of blood.
"Bang Bang"
The platoon leader fired two more shots at the central nervous system just below its neck to make sure it was dead.
The frontline fighters have discovered the weaknesses of this type of monster. Of course, they will all die if they are swept by intensive firepower, as their defense is not enough to ignore high-powered firearms.
“Ahhh… Wuuwuwu, we’re saved, we’re saved!!!” “They’re from the military!!!”
Four young men and women rushed out of a toilet, their faces looking unclear as to whether they were crying or laughing, their bodies shaking with excitement.
The soldiers wanted to force a smile, but they couldn't.
Even though they were very careful during the advance, they still lost two comrades. When they opened the door, the tail of the monster passed through the door and pierced their chests.
As the four survivors were taken out of the building, the sniper squad that had just come down from another building immediately climbed to the roof of the newly cleared building in order to support the deeper combat units.
“Roar~~” “Boom~”
A huge roar came from deeper in the West City District, causing the scalps of several snipers who had just set up their guns to tingle.
This feeling of fear is an instinctive reaction, not because the warrior's quality is not strong enough.
…
"Captain, the troops can no longer advance. The casualties are too high. The troops in the front are advancing deeper, but the areas cleared in the rear may not be safe. After all, this is the contact point between the same and different worlds. They may emerge at any time."
"Besides, we're using up our ammunition too quickly!"
The chief of staff's words rang in his ears, how could the regiment commander not know about it.
He reached out to check his watch. An hour and a half had passed since the battle began, and nearly two hours had passed since the earthquake began.
"We advance..."
"boom……"
The leader was interrupted halfway through his words by a vibration not far below.
The flat road seemed to be hit by a cannonball, and a deep hole suddenly appeared on the concrete ground.
“Roar~~” “Roar~~”
The sound immediately attracted everyone's attention. Looking through the telescope, dark red appeared there like fog, and a swamp could be vaguely seen.
After this short-lived phenomenon, suddenly, densely packed sandworm-like things appeared.
“Da da da da da…” “Boom~” “Boom~”
Gunshots and explosions immediately rang out, not just in this place. The captain turned his head to look elsewhere and saw sounds of fighting everywhere.
"Woo~~"
A black shadow flashed by, and then several black shadows flew across the sky. One of the black shadows was holding a soldier who had been pierced.
This is a snake-like monster with two pairs of fleshy wings, but no matter how you look at it, it still looks like a scaleless insect.
"Damn it, shoot them down for me!!"
The machine gun position on the top floor immediately started firing into the sky.
The sound of gunfire throughout the Xicheng District suddenly became intense again.
The captain held a rifle and emptied a magazine, then watched a monster wailing as it fell from the sky, then scanned the visible area.
The soldiers under his command were already in a tough fight, and the strength of one regiment was simply too small.
'Why is there no movement from the division headquarters? What on earth are they doing!'
The thought flashed through his mind, and he had to give a difficult order.
"Order! All members retreat. The other world intersects too deeply with this place. All members retreat to point C and rebuild the defense line."
…
“Beep, beep, beep…beep…”
The sound of the bugle call spread far away, and the signalmen in front who could hear it also began to blow the bugle call, and some units that could barely receive the radio also received orders from the regiment headquarters.
"Is this... the Evacuation?"
A platoon leader emptied his magazine and chewed up the hard candy in his mouth.
He looked towards a place in the distance that had not been searched yet, and there was a high possibility that there were people who had not been rescued yet.
"Platoon leader, what should we do?"
Looking at the 16 soldiers left in the platoon, 14 strong men fell here forever, and it is difficult for them to even have an intact body.
The platoon leader gritted his teeth and looked back.
"Retreat, obey orders! Bring back the people you rescued!"
The troop transport trucks were carrying the surviving civilians. The soldiers were fighting and retreating on the sidelines. All the people in the vehicles who were still able to move were helping to reload the empty magazines.
As the retreat got closer to the regimental headquarters, the sound of gunfire became more frequent and intense.
At this time, some soldiers who retreated from the front realized that the situation had become more serious.
Three hours after the Second Regiment engaged in the battle, the division's communications soldier finally reached the front line with difficulty and contacted the regiment commander.
This is the sixth group of communications soldiers who set out to search for the Second Regiment. The others are estimated to be in danger.
The higher-ups have already planned to abandon the entire Yangcheng.
More and more alien invading monsters are appearing throughout the city, and the intersection is constantly expanding. The annoying thing is that they can come over, but human firepower cannot reach the other side's world.
Several regiments of the entire division were fighting on the front lines to buy time for evacuation to the rear, and the 2nd Regiment was the deepest one.
Heavy firepower units are preparing to build a blockade line outside Yangcheng. Currently, more than a dozen armed defense stations have been assembled.
There were not many helicopters in the division, far less than the aerial monsters that appeared. In order to preserve emergency air power, they chose to restrain and endure.
…
The first stage of the contact between the same and different worlds caused countless families to be broken up, and a large number of soldiers were stained with blood on the battlefield.
This scene stained with blood and fire was only the first confrontation between the two sides. Almost all smart and experienced strategists understood that the ones that appeared were just "vanguard" characters.
The contact points are expanding, the contact depth is intensifying, and we can't even guarantee whether new contact points will appear or when they will appear.
The four words "tide of darkness" have never made people feel the pressure so tangibly.
