The outline of the school in the distance is looming in the smoke left by the war, like a giant beast dormant on the ground. Some damage can still be seen on the broken fence railings, telling those who come here about the tragic battles that took place here.
"Be careful!" Kelb lowered his voice and signaled the team to slow down: "It seems that there has been a battle here, don't be regarded as an enemy..."
He also saw sandbags piled up beside the wall, as well as some bodies lying unnoticed on the street.
"Boss...will they shoot at friendly forces?" Aigole was a little nervous and couldn't help asking. He noticed that Kelb's knuckles holding the submachine gun turned white, and he was obviously more nervous than he appeared.
"Who knows, those guys..." Kelb didn't continue. He lowered his body and crouched towards the school gate. He didn't want to be beaten to death by his own people, or in other words, he didn't want to die at all.
I don't even want to kill him.
Aigole and other elf soldiers also followed suit. This improvised team was like a group of vigilant cheetahs, shuttling between the ruins. The air was filled with a burning smell that made people sick.
The school gate has been blown up, and the twisted iron gate is like a monster's fangs, pointing towards the gray sky. The corpses of several elven soldiers are lying at the door, and their ammunition bags have been opened. Apparently someone has cleaned them.
They crossed the battlefield and looted all the ammunition from the corpses.
"Damn it, hasn't this place been conquered by humans?" an elf soldier whispered, with a hint of vigilance and uneasiness in his tone.
"It can't be done. Aren't the 2nd Regiment always behind us? How can we lose our position?" Another elf soldier curled his lips disdainfully, "I really don't know what those officials are thinking. They actually put such good people behind us."
Leave the place to these rookies."
"Shut up and try not to make any noise!" Kelb scolded in a low voice, "Stop talking nonsense and be more vigilant!"
The soldier who spoke reluctantly closed his mouth, leaned against the wall with his gun, and looked at the silent teaching building inside the school.
Kelb ignored him, but turned to look at Aigole and asked: "Have you been here before? This school."
"No." Aigole shook his head, "I followed the troops to the factory area as soon as I entered the city. Halfway through, I started fighting with the humans. Then the troops dispersed. I followed Platoon Leader Douglas all the time. This is my first time.
Came here once."
"It seems that this place has been attacked by the Tang Army. It's hard to say whether it's humans or our people inside. We must stay vigilant... If we encounter an enemy, retreat quickly... and run in the direction we came from before." Kelb.
After giving instructions to the new Aigole, he picked up his submachine gun and followed the pace of the other person.
"Damn Tang people!" After one of the elf veterans heard Kelb's words, he couldn't help but gnashed his teeth and cursed: "If it weren't for those damn green beasts, I should be lying comfortably at home now, drinking ale.
…”
They often use green-skinned beasts to describe Tang Jun in private, because they hate Tang Jun's camouflage camouflage. Of course, this also means to belittle Tang Jun, because many short goblins have green skin, and elves obviously don't like goblins.
This ugly green-skinned monster.
"Shut up! I'll say it again!" Kelb glared at him in warning again, and then the chattering elf soldier shut his mouth angrily.
"Ignore him," Kelb said helplessly to Aigler: "His brother was killed in the battle in the north half a month ago, so he is like this..."
"I understand." Aigole nodded. The war caused everyone to lose something. Some people lost their relatives, some people lost their friends, and some people lost their souls.
The school playground is overgrown with weeds, and a few crooked-neck trees stand there alone. A few rags are hung on the branches, swaying in the wind, as if they are crying silently. The door of the teaching building is open, and it is dark inside.
It's so big that I can't see clearly what's going on inside.
"Shall we go in?" an elf soldier asked, with a hint of hesitation in his tone.
"Of course we have to go in," Kelb tightened his grip on the submachine gun in his hand, "We have to get some ammunition. Do you want to fight those humans with your bare hands?"
"But..." The elf soldier wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Kelb's look.
"Don't worry, we are just going to borrow some ammunition, not to rob." Kelb pretended to be relaxed, but his hand holding the gun betrayed his inner nervousness.
Several elf soldiers walked into the teaching building with guns in hand. There was a smell of dampness and decay in the air. It seemed that no students had come to school for a long time. There were some debris and bullet casings scattered on the ground. In the dim
It looks particularly eerie in the light.
"Where are the people from the Second Regiment?" Stewart asked in a low voice. His voice echoed in the empty corridor and seemed particularly clear.
No one answered him, and the whole teaching building was quiet except for their own footsteps and breathing.
"Something doesn't feel right here..." Aigole whispered. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.
"Shh!" Kelb made a silent gesture and gave the elf soldiers on the side a look. They set up a simple formation near the stairs, covering each other and preparing to go to the second floor to take a look.
Aigole shrank his neck and stopped talking. He just tightened his grip on the rifle in his hand, his eyes full of nervousness and vigilance. He followed the team silently. Because he came later, his cooperation with the team was still very good.
Being unfamiliar, naturally I could only follow behind.
He noticed that there were some scattered corpses lying on the playground of this school, the corpses of elf soldiers wearing the same iron-gray military uniforms as him. The air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood and burnt stench, which made him feel uncomfortable.
One can't help but feel nauseous.
"We are elves! Don't shoot!" He shouted at the top of the stairs. Kelb did not take a step forward. He had just heard the sound upstairs and was sure that there was someone upstairs, so he shouted to confirm the other person's name.
identity.
"We saw it! We saw it when you came in!" A reply came from upstairs. Soon, an elf soldier holding a submachine gun came down, making everyone relax a lot.
It seems that this place is still in the hands of the elves. Human troops infiltrated in and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides, but the elves still held their position in the end.
Unlike these defeated remnants, the soldiers of the Second Regiment were obviously more organized and disciplined. The elf soldiers who came down looked at the dusty soldiers, shook their heads, and motioned for them to follow them.
.
Kelb, Aigole and others followed him to the second floor, and then saw more elf soldiers. These second regiment soldiers wore the same gray military uniforms, but their uniforms were newer.
Everyone is busy, and some people are debugging the radio, trying to listen to orders from higher-level headquarters - obviously this is a headquarters, but this headquarters has now become a front line.
There are also some people who are loading ammunition: they are loading bullets into their own machine gun belts. This is a big project, and it also proves that the Second Regiment seems to have some ammunition reserves.
"Which section are you from?" An elf in officer's uniform blocked the group's path. He was tall and had a pistol hanging on his waist.
"Company 1 Platoon, I am their acting platoon leader Kelb." Kelb quickly stepped forward and saluted with a military salute.
Then he introduced Aigele, who was standing there at a loss: "He is from the 2nd platoon of the third company, and his name is Aigele. Their troops have been scattered and suffered heavy losses. When they met us, they followed
Coming over."
"Thank you for your hard work." The officer nodded. From Kelb's introduction, he roughly learned about the fighting situation nearby. This is very important information, and sometimes it can determine the life or death of many people.
The 1st Regiment next door has obviously been completely defeated, and now the 2nd Regiment is very dangerous here. Previously, they were lucky enough to repulse the Tang Army's light infantry test, and they are expected to face a formal attack by the Tang Army next.
"Who... get some water for these brothers." The officer stopped a passing soldier and made an arrangement: "You guys take a rest first. If you think of anything important, you can come to me at any time...
…The Tang Army doesn’t know when it will launch an attack, and I have other things to be busy with…”
"We hope to replenish some ammunition..." When Kelb came, he didn't want to stay and fight with the 2nd regiment. He just wanted to replenish supplies and ammunition, and then return to find his own troops.
So he spoke of his plan with some anxiety: "Sir, then we will go back to our defense area. Maybe we can hold on for a while."
"Ammunition?" Looking at the few defeated soldiers in front of him who were about as small as beggars, the commander of the 2nd Regiment obviously had no intention of handing over precious bullets to them: "We don't have much ammunition here... It's a pity."
It's one thing to keep these soldiers to fight for themselves, but it's another thing to let them leave with ammunition. Just kidding, how could he let people leave without knowing anything about the ammunition? You know, in this case,
Ammunition is almost equal to life.
"If you are willing to stay and help, I welcome you and can give you some ammunition... But if you want to leave, then I have no way to give you the ammunition of my own army." The officer of the 2nd regiment simply said,
Make it clear directly.
A few people couldn't do anything about it. If they went back now, without bullets or other supplies, they would be doomed if they couldn't find their own large troops.
So Kelb thought for a while and said to the officer: "Let's take a break first and then discuss the result among ourselves, okay?"
"Of course, who is that? Find them a room and let them have a good rest..." The officer nodded and waved to a veteran in the distance. When he saw the other person coming over, he made arrangements and went about his own business.
Already.
The Tang army invested many new weapons in street fighting, some of which were not in the battle reports and had never been seen by the elves. These weapons were very terrifying and caused a large number of casualties to the elves.
As soon as the officer returned to his position, a subordinate came over and reported the news he had just learned: "The Tang Army has a small aircraft that will suddenly crash into the target and explode. It should be controlled by someone from a distance.
It’s very accurate... This news was sent from the 2nd Division of the City Guards."
Obviously, the officer who had never seen a suicide drone could not imagine what a small aircraft was, so he subconsciously asked: "What is a small aircraft?"
"The person who sent the message described it as being about this big." The subordinate gestured with both hands. The thing was only 1.23 meters wide, and it was actually a remote-controlled aircraft with a camera.
Looking at the size of his gesture, the elf officer of the 2nd Regiment immediately knew that this thing was not easy to deal with: he had heard that it was a small plane before and thought it was a big thing, but when he saw it, he
I understand the horror of this thing.
This thing is probably equivalent to shooting a grenade directly into a person's face. Not only the hit rate is very high, but the lethality is also not low.
A cannonball with long eyes is quite terrifying. If the opponent can really control it to hit the target directly, it will definitely cause huge casualties to the elf troops.
Fortunately, the human troops that infiltrated and attacked yesterday did not use similar weapons, otherwise they might not be able to defend the school.
"Damn, how come they always come up with these weird things?" The elf officer muttered, then thought about it and ordered: "Let the soldiers upstairs pay attention. If you see similar things, hurry up.
Remind people around you..."
"If you can shoot them down with a rifle, shoot them down. If you can't shoot them down...you have to interfere with them!" He paused and then added: "Arrange a machine gun to go upstairs! Use it as an anti-aircraft machine gun!"
This is the best way he can think of. The school is built with reinforced concrete, which is their natural bunker. They can still hold on here for a while. If they abandon this place, there will be no such good building to hide in nearby.
.
"The Tang army seems to be approaching!" At this time, a soldier hurried over and reported what had just happened: "The sentry said that he saw some Tang soldiers moving in the building across the street."
"It's over... I guess the troops in front have been killed. The main force should be coming this time." The elf officer looked grim. He walked to the room facing the Tang army and moved to an inconspicuous corner by the window.
I looked at the situation across the street.
Sure enough, there were many Tang troops moving there. If he could call for artillery support at this time, it might be miraculous. Unfortunately, he had no way to contact the rear because their communication equipment was always out of service.
