Zhou Lin - Chapter 170 Blocking and asking for help

Night, 7:18, residential area on the northwest side of Narvik.

The previously landed Federal Army Team A was suddenly blocked by unidentified explosives while searching and advancing. Six members were killed on the spot, three others were seriously injured, and more than ten people were slightly injured.

The commander at the scene immediately ordered the soldiers to disperse and hide on the spot, evacuate the wounded to the rear, and asked the scouts of each team to turn on the thermal imaging function on their helmets to detect the surroundings.

However, in this environment that was so cold that it made the lungs hurt, they could not detect even half of the enemy using thermal imaging.

There is no doubt that… the ambushers of the Killer Alliance are also well prepared.

Although the number of manpower sent by the Killer Alliance seemed a bit small in front of the hundreds of dozens of people in the Federal Army, in terms of individual combat capabilities, each of the twenty-two people who were the official killers of the organization accounted for an absolute share. Advantageous.

Although they are not worth mentioning in front of the God of Death, compared with ordinary colleagues, they are enough to be regarded as experienced and first-rate.

Not to mention anything else, take the skill of being able to control one’s breathing without exhaling white smoke even in a low-temperature environment as an example. These twenty-two people can all do it, and with a special insulating suit, they can Achieve stealth under thermal imaging.

呲——

Well–

Just as the federal troops fled into the streets and waited for feedback from the scouts, another change occurred.

But at a certain corner, a well-hidden soldier suddenly let out a scream. The people around him turned their heads when they heard the sound, and soon discovered that he had been shot by a steel arrow on the side of his neck and was bleeding.

Medical soldier! Upon seeing this, a sergeant major immediately shouted, and the nearest medical soldier heard the sound and hurried over.

Be alert! Seeing that the medical soldier had taken out ice spray (a common first-aid product for dealing with trauma in this era, which could instantly stop bleeding and prevent most infections) and sprayed it on the injured area, the sergeant major hurriedly He drank again to remind other soldiers to pay attention to the subsequent hidden arrows.

However, this kind of warning is of little significance.

Arrows are not like guns. The position of the shooter will not be easily revealed by the sound of shooting. In addition, the surroundings are basically dark and no one can be found in the thermal imaging. The soldiers have no idea in which direction to alert, who to alert, or even not Know which wall to lean against for effective cover.

Brother, don’t be afraid, you will be fine… I have given you an analgesic, but the arrow cannot be pulled out here. It must be operated in a surgical environment. I will insert a tube into you first to help you. Breathe, let someone carry you back… um… The medical soldier who arrived was encouraging the injured through words and was already preparing for intubation, but at this moment, he himself was hit by an arrow.

The arrow was also shot in the neck, which was not protected by armor or helmet. But unlike the person he was rescuing, the medical soldier was shot in the back of the neck, and his cervical vertebra was directly broken, and he lost his life instantly. consciousness.

At the same time, the face of the injured person who was hit by the arrow quickly turned black and purple, and stopped breathing within a few seconds; this phenomenon should not be caused by simple lack of oxygen, but…

Damn it! The arrows are poisonous! Upon seeing this, the sergeant major squatting next to them immediately turned his head and shouted at the other two figures who were bending down to run here, Don’t let the other medical soldiers come here again!

The sergeant major was a veteran with rich practical combat experience. He immediately realized that the enemy’s intention was to use the wounded as bait and kill all their medical soldiers first.

However, he still missed one point. Not only medical soldiers, but also commanders are also priority targets on the battlefield.

Boom——

Sure enough, in less than two seconds, another arrow was shot, and the target was the sergeant major who shouted twice; fortunately, he shrank his neck as much as possible, leaving no angle for the opponent to attack, so the arrow It ended up hitting him on the helmet and ricocheted off.

However…

Sir! Are you okay?

After the noise, the sergeant major fell down, and several soldiers on both sides quickly came over to support him.

I…I’m fine… After a brief dizziness, the sergeant major opened his eyes, climbed up unsteadily, and then cursed, What are you doing? Get away from me! Protect yourself! While shouting and cursing, he roughly pushed away the few people who were protecting him with their bodies; after taking a few more breaths, he cursed again, His grandma’s…the power of this arrow is no less than a bullet, it’s almost He knocked me out through the helmet.

The sergeant major felt right. These poisonous steel arrows were obviously not fired by ordinary crossbows, but by portable power mechanical crossbows with extremely high accuracy and power.

Even if an arrow fired with this crossbow hits a stone wall thirty meters away, the arrow can be completely immersed in the wall; if the material of the federal army’s helmets were not hard enough and the smooth oval surface had not played a certain role Due to the refraction effect, the sergeant major suffered a concussion and fell into a coma even if he survived the arrow shot just now.

Someone is injured here too!

Man_down! Man_down!

Someone help! Our sergeant and medic are both dead!

In just one minute, similar calls for help echoed one after another in the dark streets.

Not every team has a grassroots commander as experienced and outstanding in command as the sergeant major. Furthermore… In this situation, even if the correct command is made, they are still passively beaten. It’s just that the loss will be relatively small.

I see the shooter! Over there!

There’s some over there too!

Finally, after losing more than a dozen soldiers, including officers and medical soldiers, soldiers gradually captured the figures of the killers hiding in the dark.

Although the thermal imaging did not work, the night vision function on the helmet was still useful. In addition, the range of the mechanical crossbow was not far, and the shooter was at most dozens of meters away from them, so it was expected that they would be found.

Keep the formation, turn on the communicator, and chase separately! The commanders on the scene almost all gave similar instructions within ten seconds.

In this way, the landing team, which had been reduced to more than ninety people, left more than ten people to take care of the wounded, and then divided into four groups to chase the killers they had targeted.

As we all know… these days, killers are all good at parkour, and it’s not easy to catch up with them.

Moreover, many trip mines and explosive bombs had been laid in the surrounding streets and houses. The killers knew the location of these traps and would deliberately avoid them, but the federal troops they led to chase did not know …

As a result, after the division of troops, the federal army was quickly reduced in number, and each team suffered varying degrees of losses; and when the killers responsible for drawing people in brought the federal army to a specific area, the remaining More than a dozen killers also took action – since the enemy arrived as expected, local counter-encirclement and assassination operations could begin.

This is the strength of killers.

For the soldiers, compared to dying on the frontal battlefield, this kind of killing that will come from nowhere is really more frightening.

Their calmness and fighting spirit slowly disappeared in this cold night, in this dark town… along with their comrades and officers around them.

When the despair piled up by blood and pain quietly descends, people’s will will soon collapse; the few remaining people will either be extremely fearful and furious, or run away in fear… and no matter what, they will only will hasten their death.

In this way, in less than an hour, except for the first few wounded who began to evacuate towards the shore, the Federal Army’s A team that successfully landed at the northwest end of Narvik was basically wiped out.

…………

On the other hand, Team B, which had changed its landing method, finally landed ashore after a delay of about twenty minutes.

But just in the short distance of a few dozen meters from the open land on the shore to the construction area on the street, they had already lost twenty people.

These twenty people were all shot by K with a sniper rifle, one shot at a time.

It’s not that his gun fires very fast, it’s just that the soldiers are all wearing diving suits, which affects their movement speed on land. They can’t stand in the fire of the sniper rifle and shoot the outer layer of equipment first. He took it off and ran, so he had no choice but to rush forward; in addition, during the charge, some people wanted to drag their comrades who had been shot but had not yet died to the bunker. This behavior… is natural It also makes them a living target.

However, no matter what, the situation of this team is still better than that of Team A; after K rushed into the streets with many bunkers, K did not stop fighting at the sniper point, but chose to quickly withdraw to the base.

Therefore, while the A team on the other side was basically dead, the B team had already advanced a lot into the city and controlled a considerable area with some temporary three-person sentries.

However, the progress of this operation and the loss of personnel are obviously different from the expectations of the supreme commander of this operation…

…………

Bullshit! They are all losers!

At eight-thirty, in the submarine command room, little Bowman was furious after listening to the report.

When a person like him is unhappy, he must scold others and throw his responsibility and anger on others; of course, he does not dare to scold Yevgeni. After all, he is an elder of his family, so he also All I can do is scold the communications soldiers.

But after scolding him, Little Bowman was still getting more and more angry… because he felt that things developed like this because he listened to the words of Yevgeny, a staff member. If he had followed his own way, he might have won a big victory. .

Therefore, after a while, after getting rid of the other people waiting around him, little Bowman couldn’t help but said to Yevgeni: Uncle, look at it, I said that the whole ship landed at the same place. It’s better, if you insist on stability, divide into two teams, now…sigh…

Yes, this is all the fault of me as a staff officer, and the responsibility lies with me. Yevgeni did not care about him and took the blame.

If it had been thirty years ago, when Yevgeni heard this, he would have jumped up and slapped him in the face, and replied: Bullshit! If we go according to your plan, our command ship will have been destroyed. Served.

But now, Yevgeni no longer has that temper, because he knows that there is no point in wasting words with people like him – some people will never admit their mistakes or even realize their stupidity; they They live in their own world from beginning to end and never reflect. Even if they are taught a lesson, it will not make them grow. It will only make them more cunning and resent those who taught them.

However… the opponent’s combat power this time is indeed somewhat beyond expectations. After taking over the blame, Yevgeni changed the subject and said, Based on the information obtained so far, the enemy is not only fully prepared and well-equipped, but There are also many elite combatants with very strong execution capabilities, so that when the battle reached this stage, the opponent still had zero casualties, while we had lost more than a hundred people.

What do you mean? Little Bowman heard that the other party had something to say and asked tentatively.

Before the operation, according to the report given by the intelligence department, the remnants of the resistance in Narvik did not have such combat power at all. Yevgeni continued, So I think those who are blocking us here today may be There is someone else.

Oh? Who is this group of people? Could it be from Long County… Little Bowman’s first reaction was to those resistance organizations that had not suffered any losses in the Iron Curtain Flame.

Because his guess was wrong, Yevgeni interrupted before he could finish his words: No, it has nothing to do with the ‘Ya Mountain’. What’s blocking us… should be the ‘Inverse Cross’.

Is this the group that took away the Nine Prisons? Little Bowman asked.

That’s right. Yevgeni didn’t explain much. Anyway, ordinary people in the federal camp like Little Bowman don’t know the role of the Reverse Cross organization in history. They only know that this group of people is The extremely dangerous group of ability users that previously destroyed the Nine Hells.

Wait a minute… that group of people, there are some very powerful ability users, right? Are we in danger here? Little Bowman asked quickly.

Regarding his reaction, Yevgeni sneered secretly in his heart: Hmph… When it comes to your own safety, you react very quickly, but the soldiers at the bottom died for your merits on the front line, and you have no respect. and pity, but still calling them ‘rice buckets’, alas…this is the person who will soon become a general…

The wily Yevgeni would never write this disdain and sigh on his face.

On the surface, he still spoke in a calm tone: My dear nephew, you can rest assured. I have just noticed that the situation is not right. I have already contacted Shangfeng and applied for reinforcements. They also responded to me saying that they are already making preparations. If nothing unexpected happens, a whole fleet will arrive from the Edinburgh Naval Base in Golden Lion County before midnight, and they can simply level the entire city of Narvik by then.

Yevgeny did not tell him that he had already called for reinforcements through unofficial channels when he got those few lines of poetry, but pretended to call for reinforcements only after the operation started, lest Little Bowman would have anything to do. Superfluous questions.

But that’s not enough! After hearing this, Little Bowman thought for a few seconds and then said, If someone with abilities above the ferocious level forces a forcible attack on our command ship, no matter how many conventional troops we have, they may not be able to protect it. Stay with me.

When it comes to his own safety, his IQ has really returned to high ground.

I have already considered this. Yevgeni continued confidently, So, the reinforcements mobilized this time are not just the naval fleet… He deliberately let it slip and paused for two seconds. Then he added, Since the location of our operation happens to be relatively close to Iceland, Shangfeng sent ‘that man’ here as well.

You mean… When he heard the words that man, little Bowman’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, it’s him. Yevgeni continued.

Ha…hehe… Little Bowman laughed, That’s no problem. As long as ‘he’ takes action, all reverse crosses and horizontal crosses will die! When he said this, he suddenly thought of something again, Eh? But… in this case, the credit for this operation…

Don’t worry, uncle and I are here, and with your father and grandfather’s post-operation operations, at least ‘70%’ of the final credit will be attributed to you, no less than more. Yevgeni knew that the other party What are you asking? He snorted again in his heart and responded with a smile, In fact, if we can eliminate the Iron-Blooded Alliance and the remnants of the Rangers, as well as the criminals with reverse cross powers this time, then Even if it only accounts for 50% of your achievements, it will be enough for you to upgrade several levels and add a few medals.

Hearing this, little Bowman suddenly beamed with joy, and the fat on his face almost squeezed together: Uncle… Hehe… Look at what you said, everyone is one of our own, you should at least take some of the credit. One percent.
