The female soldiers walked out of the cave one after another and split up to provide support to the two positions. The cave that seemed to have some people before suddenly became deserted. Other than more than a dozen female officers in the communication room and a few logisticians, only Mu Peipei and the others were left. Feng Kun nodded heavily to the women, took one last look at the two-day-old child, and turned to leave the cave …
The two cave entrances were easy to defend and difficult to attack. The attacking side had thrown in a third of their forces, but they still could not break through the cave. As the female soldiers joined the battle, the battle line stabilized for a while, but the people outside began to struggle.
The attacking militants were all dressed in the same uniform and had the same standard weapons. Their guns were different from those of the China's active forces. They were all European weapons. The rifles were all G36 assault rifles, and the submachine guns and other secondary weapons were also dual-wielding MP7s. They were fully equipped and armed to the teeth. Bulletproof vests and helmets were also the most advanced in the West.
In addition, there were all kinds of individual heavy firepower, such as rotary grenade reflectors, smart artillery shells, infrared guided mini-missiles on their shoulders, and small bombs that could be carried by electronic machinery. It could be said that their individual equipment was several times better than the Garrison Battalion. Their combat quality was not weak either. Their individual skills and tactics were exceptionally shrewd, and they had excellent teamwork in small-scale operations.
Coupled with the military strength that was several times that of the Garrison Battalion, it should have been easy to break through, easily enter the cave, and achieve their strategic goal. Unfortunately, all of this was in a stalemate under the Garrison Battalion's suicidal fighting style. The soldiers of the Garrison Battalion were all elites who had survived hundreds of battles. They had seen all kinds of desperate situations, and they did not lack courage. No matter how well-equipped the opponents were, how accurate their marksmanship was, and how strong their individual combat power was, they began to be unable to withstand the Garrison Battalion's suicidal fighting style.
Moreover, it was the third day now. They had been fighting for more than two days, and their ammunition had been exhausted to the limit. Behind the guards were the entire force's ammunition and material reserves. Even if a few hundred people fired continuously, they would not be able to use up tens of millions of ammunition in a month.
As time went by, their advantage in terms of manpower and weapons had been reduced to an advantage in terms of manpower. However, compared to the fire-like invasion at the beginning, they were becoming more and more powerless. Out of their 1,000 people, only 700 were left, while the other side had dropped from 300 to 200.
Both sides were elites, and both sides were warriors who had gone through hundreds of battles. Up until now, no one could do anything to the other. The evolver team, which consisted of more than a hundred evolvers, had also encountered their biggest setback. There were a lot of evolvers in the hot spring base, about two hundred of them. They had been influenced by the Bloody Battle Group of the grassland army, and they had been reorganized into a special battalion. They had followed the main force to the frontline. Other than a few women, there were no other evolvers in the base.
Originally, they thought that by sending out the evolver team, they would be able to charge in easily. However, they did not expect the power of the two mutated giant dogs to be so great. They had attacked twice, once on each side, and there were huge dogs on both sides. No matter how hard they tried, they could not cause any damage to the dogs. On the contrary, more than ten bodies were left on both sides, which caused the Silver Flower Team to lose thirty percent of their combat power.
The unknown armed men were divided into three classes. The first class was the ordinary armed men. They wore black leather jackets and light bulletproof vests. Their collars and cuffs had flower-like patterns of silver flowers. Some of them had metal petals on their right collars to prove their position and military rank.
The evolved humans were all dressed in a dark silver military uniform. The dark patterns on the uniform were even more complicated and exquisite. There was nothing special about the collar or the cuffs. There were only different badges on their chests. Different badges meant different titles, and their positions in the team were also different.
Finally, there were a few officers dressed in high-ranking military uniforms. Their uniforms were black at the base and silver patterns on the surface. The patterns were intricate and complicated. The uniforms gave off a different kind of elegance and majesty, but it was not gaudy. The design was very classic, and there was a kind of high-profile luxury.
The military officer's military rank was also pinned on the right collar. It was not a petal, but a branch with a leaf embedded on it. The leaf looked like a leaf, and the number of leaves represented the rank. The highest one was inlaid with three leaves. At this moment, he was holding a telescope and observing two cave entrances that were spewing flames from two kilometers away.
After a while, the officer put down the binoculars, revealing a pair of deep blue eyes. His eyes were blue, and when matched with his Asian face, it gave off a contradictory feeling.
"They have reinforcements again … We have failed …"
The officer was speaking in Mandarin, and his pronunciation was very precise. The officers beside him were frightened when they heard this. One of the younger officers suggested in a low voice, "Should we let the Silver Flower Team charge again?
This time, the Bu Bu Battle Team is following closely behind. Even if there are some casualties, it will be worth it. As long as we control all the higher-ups, the whole of Hubei will fall into our hands … "
"Hehe!"
Another officer sneered and said, "The faster we charge, the more casualties there will be.
"The faster you charge, the more you'll die. It's not like you didn't see You Yinhua's attack just now. Tsk tsk … She's really like a piece of paper. Bullets don't even work on her. All she can do is block a few dog claws. She won't even leave a complete corpse …"
"Shut up, both of you …"
The Three-leaf officer shouted for the other two to shut up. They looked at each other, and sparks could be seen in their eyes. The Three-leaf officer had the highest military rank and was the oldest. As he looked around, he exuded an inexplicable aura that made the others subconsciously admire him.
"How are the troops outside?
Are they still charging down the wall? "
The troops at the top of the wall have retreated to rest and deal with the wounded and corpses. The officer withdrew his gaze and asked about the troops outside. The younger officer stood at attention and nodded. "So far, we have repelled more than a hundred charges at the top of the wall, and more than 50 people have died. The casualties at the top of the wall are even greater. The frequency of their charges has decreased, but they have not given up. Yesterday was the day they charged the most. From dawn to night, there were at least 50 charges, one every half an hour. Today, it has decreased to eight …"
The Three-leaf officer nodded in understanding. The young officer was still unwilling to give up.
He suggested again, "Why don't we use a hundred people to restrain this place and meet up with the troops outside to recover the wall? This way, at least we can completely control this base. If the people inside don't come out, let them stay inside. We'll seal the outside …"
The young officer's suggestion moved the Three-leaf officer a little, but the other officer continued to pour cold water on him.
"Young man, don't be too simple-minded. The army here is not like the motley crew we encountered before. They survived the pursuit of millions of mutants. Currently, they have at least 600 casualties, right?
They only have a total of one thousand and five hundred people here. If it were any other faction, they would have surrendered long ago. Only they are indifferent and willing to die together with us.
We can rush up the wall, but what about after that?
I can tell you that once we rush up, we will be dragged into urban warfare. The entire wall itself is a huge defensive fortress. Only they know what kind of traps and fortifications are inside. Even if we win, at least half of our men will be injured or killed.
Even this is the best result. If they had planted explosives in the walls as a last resort, we would have perished together with them. These lunatics are really capable of doing something like this … "
This officer kept finding fault with the young officer, making the young officer extremely angry. He stared at the handsome officer with titanium glasses. The officer was 25 or 26 years old, only a little older than the young officer. He looked very gentle with glasses, but he didn't pay much attention to his image. Unlike the other two officers, their collars were tightly buttoned, and the military uniform outside was neat and tidy. Not even the slightest wrinkle could be seen.
His collar was open, and a circle of dark stains dyed the collar of his shirt gray. The military rank on his uniform was also a little dim, forming a sharp contrast with the shining ranks on the other two's collars.
Not to mention the creases on the noble and elegant military uniform, there was not a single spot that was even. The original black and silver military uniform had been worn by him in a myriad of colors, especially on the chest area. The silver patterns had long become the same color as the black base material. It was as if the uniform had never been washed after it was put on. If it were not for the fact that the material of the uniform was really high-end, perhaps the cuffs and elbows would have long been rubbed flat.
"Luo Junshan, don't make sarcastic remarks here. If we can't complete the mission, none of us will be able to escape punishment. Your family will not fall into their hands, but the poison in your body has not been removed. When the time comes, you will not be able to live or die without the antidote. Let's see if you can still be so carefree …"
The young officer finally vented his anger on Luo Junshan. Luo Junshan shook his head in disdain. This made the older Three Leaves officer pinch his brows with a headache. Then he said, "Dan Chen's idea is good. We don't need to fight for the entire wall. We only need to drive them down like rats. Take out 200 people to join the main attack. This time, we will make our last effort …"
