The thick smoke and dust filled Raphael's mouth and nose. He opened his mouth wide and coughed violently, making it extremely difficult to breathe. The explosion point where the M7 warhead landed was nearly 100 meters away from him. The 500-kilogram warhead and more than 100 kilograms of charge directly hit the ground.
It blew up the tank dozens of meters away.
But even though there was a long distance, the shock wave of the explosion knocked Raphael almost to death. He dragged Best's body back and walked dozens of meters before leaving the thick smoke and seeing the sky.
"Best, we are really lucky. How about you..." Raphael gasped and knelt down on the ground. After his breath stabilized, he looked back, and the joy of narrow escape was suddenly gone.
Before the tank was destroyed just now, a grenade hit the rubble pile where Best was hiding. After Raphael desperately dug it out, he saw that only half of his comrade who had been with him for many days was left. No wonder he was dragged up.
So light.
"Hell, it's better if we don't jump out of the crater. If we don't jump out, we can all survive." Raphael screamed a few times, but he didn't cry loudly. He just fell into the sand of the ruins of the city, annoyed.
He scratched his hair.
There are no ifs in war.
There were so many sad things that Raphael didn't even know how to express his sadness. He looked at Best's body in a daze for a while, and finally stood up staggeringly and searched around. He couldn't find it.
My rifle only picked up a dropped grenade.
Putting the pull ring on his finger, Raphael held the grenade tightly and walked in the direction where the government troops were coming. He felt that he was afraid that he would not survive today, and he had to find a few more for himself and his companions before he died.
A padded one.
Breathing heavily and staring with red eyes, Raphael ran more than a hundred meters away with a grenade in his hand. At this moment, he wanted to find someone to fight for. Killing one would be enough, and killing two would be profitable. While breathing heavily,
He heard a crashing sound in a crater, and when he ran over, he saw a dog jumping out.
The dog glanced at Raphael and barked wildly. Two more agile figures appeared behind the dog. Irene and Ellie crouched and pointed their guns at him vigilantly from the crater.
The two sisters were in a very embarrassed state at the moment, covered with mud and sand. They had lost their previous free and easy heroic spirit, and their indifferent faces looked extremely fierce.
Raphael held up the grenade as if he was going to fight for his life, but before he could throw it out, 'Dogmeat' pounced forward and knocked him down. Irene recognized Raphael's military uniform, and then recognized his
Face.
"Isn't this the boy who was our guide before? What's his name..., Raphael?" Ellie also followed. She asked Dogmeat to move away, but she still held the gun vigilantly and asked: "You
What are you doing here?"
"Fight." Raphael said blankly. He also recognized the two girls in front of him. He got up, dusted himself off, and calmed down a little and asked, "Why are you here?"
"We have been keeping an eye on the third mixed division for the past few days, and today we finally found an opportunity to provide ground guidance for ballistic missiles." Ellie pointed to a large crater that had just been blasted. "This is our masterpiece."
"It would have been better if you had taken action earlier." After listening to the sisters' words, Raphael showed no joy and just let out a sigh of relief. His shoulders relaxed softly, and he looked at the grenade in his hand, his face expressionless again.
Tuck the tab back into the handle.
"Did you beat them badly?" The two sisters walked back with Raphael. They were now at the edge of the city. All the houses were destroyed and the streets could no longer look like they were before.
The ground was full of damaged firearms and scattered bullet casings. Raphael stepped on the loose soil in the crater to return to his original position, retrieved his rifle, and packed several grenades. In response to the sisters' questions, he could only
He nodded with a wry smile.
Tragic? Of course it’s tragic! People are going to die...
The most precious thing on the battlefield was the radio. It seemed to have been damaged by the shelling just now. Raphael picked it up and blew away the dust, then shook it, but there was still no sound. He could only stuff it in his pocket and treat it like a treasure.
.
The three people and the dog continued to walk back. When they passed by Best's body, the two sisters paid no attention to the inconspicuous corpse. Only Raphael took a look, sighed and continued moving forward.
After walking a few hundred meters more, Rafael returned to the current front line of the security forces. Due to the fierce missile attack just now, the offensive of the Mexican government forces completely collapsed, and teams of security army reserve teams were setting off to pursue the enemy.
.
After verifying their identities, the sisters walked up to an officer and asked: "Hello, my name is Ai Li. We would like to know where the headquarters of Commander Qin Weidong is?"
The twin maids beside the legion commander knew that there were quite a few of them. The officer in question was wearing a tattered military uniform and was organizing his troops. He took the time to say: "Hello, my name is Yue Hao, and I am the temporary commander of the third regiment.
I don’t know where Commander Qin’s headquarters is, I only have radio contact. You can go to the city center and ask someone. Depending on your status, someone will take you there.”
Ellie nodded and glanced at Yue Hao's epaulettes, "You turned out to be an artilleryman? I heard that you fought very tenaciously."
Yue Hao sighed, "We fought tenaciously, but the casualties were too high. The damn Enclave Air Force kept staring at us, and the artillery battalion was almost dead. There are no artillery in the city, and I, the regiment commander, are also temporary.
Yes, actually I only have one battalion that was replenished."
"Thank you for guiding the missiles. I have to go out to pursue the defeated troops and restore the position." After saying that, Yue Hao saluted the two sisters and left in a hurry with the deployment. He didn't say too many words, everything was busy.
Fighting.
Everyone on the battlefield was in a hurry, and the recruits with crude weapons kept leaving behind the officers. The sisters also started walking towards the city center again. They passed by collapsed houses one after another, and even saw the governor who was destroyed by incendiary bombs.
Mansion.
In the end, the two sisters met Qin Weidong, who had been struggling for several days in an inconspicuous collapsed fortification. Raphael did not have enough position, so he was arranged to rest outside the headquarters.
Not long after he sat down, Raphael heard a hoarse and excited voice shouting from inside the fortification: "Although the losses were heavy, we defended Merida and Havana is still under the control of the army.
The legion commander personally took action and killed an enemy destroyer, forcing the enemy's sea and air blockade force to retreat. We are about to counterattack, we are about to counterattack!
In terms of publicity, we need to talk about our current sacrifices, but more importantly, we need to talk about our future.
It doesn't matter if Havana is destroyed. All of Mexico will belong to us, all of Latin America will be our spoils, and the entire Caribbean will become our territory. We will have the ticket to compete for the North American continent, which will be
A great victory!"
There seemed to be some propaganda mission being arranged in the headquarters. Raphael didn't know who was speaking, but a young female voice with a slightly hoarse voice was also speaking. When he heard this voice, he was immediately stunned, turned around and poked his head into the headquarters.
After a while, a young girl walked out of the collapsed fortification. Seeing that her eyes were red and her expression was haggard, Raphael mustered up the courage to ask: "Excuse me, is Miss Userman at the headquarters?"
The young girl raised her head, tried her best to smile on her tired face and said, "I am Usserman."
"Hello..." Raphael suddenly didn't know what to say. He smiled stupidly and took out the damaged radio from his pocket. "We have been listening to your radio. We like you very much. We really like you."
I liked it very much. My companion even kissed the radio and said he would protect you."
"Really?" Userman smiled happily when he heard this, "Thank you, thank you. Where is your companion?"
"He..., he was killed just a moment ago." Raphael's tone suddenly dropped, "But he was brave before he died. He fulfilled his promise, and he did protect you."
