Chapter 554: Forced Retreat



Many of the coalition soldiers in the house were in hesitation and confusion at this moment. If the local residents who attacked them were adults, the coalition soldiers could regard them as militants and would not have any psychological burden or self-condemnation even if they shot them to death.

However, there were children and teenagers among them. Even if these children and teenagers shot at them, the coalition soldiers could not bring themselves to fight back, even though their hearts told them that the children attacking them were no longer ordinary citizens and could be regarded as militants and killed.

If they really did this, even if they felt comforted in their hearts, the soldiers of the United Nations would be condemned by their conscience for the rest of their lives.

"Ah!" The United Army soldier who was defending the window was shot in the shoulder by a teenager and fell to the ground.

With one less person on guard, the defense around the house was weakened.

When the team leader saw this situation, he knew that if it were him, he would not be able to shoot at the children and teenagers, so he could only order all the team members who could still fight to attack the adults.

"Requesting drone fire support from the command center, and also requesting targeted strikes."

Gunshots rang out continuously and bullets flew across each other.

Suddenly, a local resident who rushed towards the gate of the house was shot dead by a coalition soldier and fell in front of the gate.

The bomb inside the body exploded directly after the person's heart stopped beating. The violent explosion not only affected the local residents outside, but also collapsed the walls on both sides of the gate, affecting the coalition soldiers behind the wall.

There were less than five soldiers left in the house who were able to fight.

The rest were either seriously injured or killed in battle.

A large hole had been blown out in front of the house's main door, and many local residents rushed into the house and shot at the remaining coalition soldiers.

The remaining coalition forces put up a desperate resistance, but were no match for the influx of local residents.

In addition to the bodies of many local residents in the house, there were also the bodies of all the remaining Union soldiers.

At this time, the cell phones of some residents in the house rang. When the residents whose cell phones rang took them out and looked at them, they showed relieved, bright and relieved smiles.

"Great, I don't have to kill anyone anymore."

"My wife and children are safe."

"The bomb inside me won't go off again."

These residents happily discarded their weapons and then ran back home excitedly, waiting for the day when they could meet their families in the future.

It turned out that earlier, Dion's army had taken away many relatives of local residents and even planted bombs in the bodies of the residents who remained.

They threatened the remaining residents to do things for them, and after 40% of the time they could guarantee that the bombs in their bodies would not explode again, and that their families and relatives would be safe.

They may even be able to be reunited as relatives in the future.

Many residents at the scene looked at their compatriots who were running home cheering with disappointment and envy.

"Look, there's a drone!"

"Quick, hit it down!"

The residents at the scene attacked the drone in the sky.

The coalition soldier at the control console of the drone saw his drone being attacked and originally wanted to retaliate immediately, but when he saw the camera captured a child, he hesitated for a moment.

"What are you doing? Why aren't you fighting back?" the commander asked his subordinates.

"Sir, there are children at the scene. I can't do it."

The commander looked at the screen with an embarrassed expression. He didn't know what to do for a moment. If he gave the order to open fire, even though it was his subordinates who opened fire and killed people, he was the one who gave the order, and he would feel that his conscience could not forgive himself.

"Notify the headquarters. What should we do?"

The commander of the 3rd Army's fleet of the 1st Army of the United Army looked at the countless videos and photos sent from the headquarters and he was unsure of what to do for a moment.

At this moment, many international war correspondents were also filming in the area. When people from various countries who were watching the live broadcast saw this scene, they did not understand why the local former Wanluo Federation people would attack the United Nations soldiers who came to rescue them.

"General, a war reporter who was filming on the scene interviewed the local residents and found out why they attacked our coalition soldiers."

The commander and the audience who just watched the live broadcast learned the reason.

The commander was furious at the table in front of him, and yelled, "Fuck you, Dion Army! Are you so shameless and despicable that you have no bottom line? Do you have any shame?"

At this time, another official walked into the commander's office and reported to the commander what was going to happen next.

"General, a portion of the troops took targeted strike action, specifically targeting the adults who were shooting at them."

"I have already issued an order for this matter. You don't need to report to me."

"General, there is actually another thing. Some other troops also shot at some teenagers and children who attacked them."

"What! They shot children!" The commander jumped up from his seat with a shocked expression and asked.

"No, they just attacked the children's hands and feet, making them unable to move, and then handcuffed them for treatment."

"So that's how it is. That's good." The commander heaved a sigh of relief and sat down. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he stood up and asked in surprise, "Wait a minute, these residents seem to have bombs planted in their bodies. Did the children and teenagers also have bombs planted in their bodies?"

"This..." Mu Liao was unable to answer for a moment, and just at this moment a message report came from his earphone.

Mu Liao reported to the general with a very grim expression: "General, those children and teenagers also had explosives in their bodies. The explosives in the children who were taken for treatment were directly detonated, not only destroying the medical equipment, but also killing the medical soldiers in charge of treatment."

The commander slumped down on the table and chair, covering his forehead with his hands. He really didn't know what to do.

The former Mu Liao said: "General, let's evacuate all the troops. If this continues, the allied soldiers will not be able to harm the oppressed civilians, and it will even cause the casualties of the allied soldiers to continue to increase."

"Okay, give the order to retreat."

Inside the colony satellite, the allied soldiers were completely tied up in their hands. They were unable to attack the local residents who attacked them once they found children and teenagers. They even found that some elderly women were attacking them.

They were completely beaten back by the local residents.

When local war correspondents were responsible for the live broadcast, the United Nations soldiers were unable to kill children or the elderly if they saw them. Some United Nations soldiers even died at the hands of children or the elderly because of this.

After the headquarters conveyed the retreat order, the United Nations soldiers who were beaten and tied up immediately fled back to the port or fled the scene on airships.

War correspondents also fled the scene and found during filming that the fleeing soldiers were still attacked by local residents. Whenever a soldier was killed, local residents would receive the news, immediately drop their weapons and flee back to their homes.

The war correspondents could not blame the local residents for their callousness because their children and family members were being held hostage and threatened. In addition, in the comments during the live broadcast, many viewers did not blame the United Nations soldiers for their inaction. More viewers left messages saying that it was understandable for the local residents to do so. If they were in their place, they would have no choice but to do the same.

War correspondents filmed the forced retreat of United Nations soldiers.

Mswati was in his office, watching the live news broadcast by the media and sneered. The previous method of using the families of Wanluo soldiers to threaten and incite those Wanluo soldiers to defect was useless against the United Army.

Mswati came up with a solution which was to let the local colonies leave some of their people behind, take away their relatives and threaten them to do things, or even capture some of the remaining people and take them to a place, perform some operations, put bombs into their bodies, and then order and threaten them to do things.

Mswati was very satisfied with the results of his strategy.
