Now that the action plan has been determined, the long-cultivated discipline has made the federal soldiers immediately stop all arguments. Two major combat staff officers, two captains and Colonel Pitt automatically became the commanders of this temporary force according to their military ranks. More than 200 federal soldiers were divided into five teams, of which the third, fourth and fifth teams were composed of soldiers from the Army Armored Division, who had rich experience in mecha operations. The second team was a complete land-based aviation force. Although these pilots had contact with mechas, their level was limited to making the mechas move. However, due to the special training requirements for pilots, they had all received training in survival behind enemy lines, and they did not have much problem in walking and using weapons. At least they were a group of qualified infantry. The first team was the general reserve commanded by the colonel himself, composed of the best of all soldiers, with relatively better physical conditions and combat qualities.
Tian Xingjian still led the special reconnaissance company's second platoon, the first squad, ten Warrior Pioneers, as well as an [Antenna] and a [Rage]. He was the commander-in-chief of the entire mixed commando. Weapons and food were evenly distributed to everyone. This was a difficult journey, and everyone quietly packed their luggage. Under Pete's arrangement, everyone gathered in the carriage to hold a pre-action meeting.
In order to make a team with clear goals, decisive actions, obedience to command, and high morale, pre-war mobilization and action plans are necessary.
Tian Xingjian stood in the middle of the carriage and began his first speech in the real war. For him, this was a real test. Opposite him was a hastily assembled team of two hundred zombies who had just been rescued a few days ago and had almost lost their minds. He had to turn this mess of federal people from prisoners of war back into qualified federal soldiers.
"Dear federal comrades, I think we are ready to escape."
This sentence attracted a burst of laughter. Usually, the first sentence of the federal army's pre-war mobilization is: We are ready to win.
The fat man tampered with this sentence without any seriousness.
"Yes, I am not ashamed to run away! Today, what I want to tell you is not some nonsense like running away for all mankind or for the Federation. I want to tell you what's in my heart, the heart of a coward!"
"You know? I have run twenty-one times since the enemy invaded. This time, I will take you to experience my twenty-second extreme run. This is a journey full of excitement, danger and blood. We will become a group of primitive people, fighting against mechas and fighter planes with a few broken guns in our hands in the wilderness. Do you feel scared? Audiences with weak hearts can leave, but before the end of this movie, there is an abyss outside and there is no way to go. However, since you can't tear up the movie ticket, you can choose to tear it up yourself, point the gun at your head, and click your fingers. Before you feel the pain, you will be dead. The advantage of doing this is that you don't have to go through the prisoner-of-war camp again."
A dead "If no one
leaves, then we will all participate in this game together. We are standing on the cliff, with no one to rely on. The only ones we can rely on are ourselves and our companions. This is a game called life and death speed. In this game, those who are not firm in will will be eliminated. Those who do not obey orders will be eliminated, those who give up themselves will be eliminated, and even those who are unlucky will be eliminated. I don't know how many of us will win this game in the end, but I am sure that it is definitely not everyone. Opportunities are equal. Everyone has the right to survive. This right is completely equal among us regardless of high or low status. If we want to escape, we must unite together. Come on, you must treat the people around you as part of your own body. Maybe, the person you helped on the cliff will block a bullet heading for your head for you later in the journey. "
The whole carriage was silent, and only Tian Xingjian's voice was echoing,
"I just said that I'm a coward. This is true. It's rare for me to have the opportunity to face my heart in front of so many people. I hate war because I love life. Of course, you can understand it as being afraid of death. I lost my parents when I was six years old. They died in a spacecraft crash. I live alone. Fortunately, my parents' inheritance saved me from having to perform. I am afraid of death. Since I lost my parents, every night, I would turn on all the lights, only light can dispel fear, this fear has been with me for sixteen years. Until now. It's not that I'm brave, but that I, like you, can't escape. I don't want to be a deserter and be shamefully shot. So, I came. I don't want to abandon my friends, so I stayed. I don't want to lose my life to my opponents, so I'm standing here talking to you now. Everyone has only one life, no one can deprive it, life, forever belongs to us. However, some things are more precious than life, family, love, friendship. I often think that if my parents can survive, I would rather exchange my life for them. "
"I never dared to imagine the scene of trampling on life. When I finally arrived at the prisoner-of-war camp, I was shocked and angry. This anger is indescribable. I almost vomited my bitter gall. As I vomited, I thought, I will never be the corpse on the pile of corpses. Whoever wants to kill me must pay the most expensive price. I can imagine what kind of torture and humiliation you have suffered in such an environment, and what kind of scars will be left in your hearts. Peace has left this peaceful country for more than 300 years. Now, we have nowhere to escape."
"Since there is no way to escape, then we will not escape. Since the enemy wants war, then we will give them war and bring them death. We would rather die than die in a fight, and never be lambs waiting to be slaughtered."
"So, my twenty-second escape will no longer be called an escape. It has a nice name: fighting for survival!"
Some people began to laugh.
"If, I finally die inevitably, please write on my tombstone: a coward who dares to survive in desperate situations. He has been fighting for survival all his life. He is a role model for cowards. "
Everyone laughed, a laugh that disregarded life and death, a laugh without any burden, relaxed and happy. The inscription on this tombstone is not only for Tian Xingjian, but also for everyone here.
Tian Xingjian was also laughing, and he finally said: "Let's go, dear federal heroes, there is no turning back, no choice, hold on to the guns in your hands, and kill any enemy that stands in your way, the game has begun. "
The centipede started up again. Its entire body, which had been distorted by the mud in the tunnel, moved diagonally upwards. After breaking up the hard base layer of the ground, it entered the highway tunnel. This tunnel would be blown up after the team evacuated in order to block the pursuers coming from the west.
The team's actions were neat and swift. Soon, this temporary mixed commando team composed of different arms was ready to set off. Everyone was waiting quietly.
The [antenna] started up, and three minutes later, the communication with the federal front command was established. As the file was transmitted, Tian Xingjian gave an order, and the team set out on a journey with no way back amid the huge explosion in the tunnel.
This was a team that had woken up from a nightmare. Everyone was relaxed. They said, "Let's go, man. We are from hell, and we will go all the way to heaven. "
Soon, they left the road and entered the dense forests of the mountainous area.
The journey was not smooth at first.
The primitive jungle of Milok Star was damp and dull, and the forest was very dense and airtight. The ground was covered with fallen leaves of various plants. A kind of weed with serrated leaves caused a lot of trouble for everyone. As long as you are not careful, this kind of weed that is everywhere can cut a gash on your leg.
Tian Xingjian ordered [Rage] to go in front. This largest mecha in the team has four powerful mechanical legs and two auxiliary mechanical legs, as well as four mechanical arms, and looks like a big crab.
[Rage] executed the order to clear the way very well. Wherever the crab passed, some small trees and plants were cleared, forming a temporary road for infantry to pass. Two mechanical arms kept clearing the weeds along the way, and the team's marching speed increased a lot.
Torik led a squad of warrior pioneers to walk on both sides of the team, responsible for protecting the entire team and the [antenna] walking in the middle of the team.
The holographic scanning of the [antenna] searched the sky nervously. The emperor [***] could not ignore the contact signal from his heartland. Soon, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and fighter planes would fly in the sky. The [antenna] must warn the enemy before they discover us, so as to buy time to hide. Otherwise, a few incendiary missiles can kill half of the people here.
The federal front-line command has replied, agreeing to the request to send troops to intersperse and connect, and requiring this escape team to get as close as possible to the federal air force control area to obtain air support. Since Rashid's report mentioned the situation of the prisoner-of-war camp and provided the actual situation recorded in the battlefield recorder, it attracted great attention from the federal high-level officials, including the headquarters and the presidential office. They instructed the Milok Resistance Army Front Command to find ways to pick up this team. If the matter of the prisoner-of-war camp was exposed, the Federation would win a beautiful victory in international public opinion, win more sympathy and assistance, and even lead to some major powers to directly interfere with the Gacharin Empire's [***] operations.
As for the war situation simulation submitted by Tian Xingjian, the combat staff of the front command only signed a receipt document and did not make a specific evaluation or reply to it. This news disappointed everyone in the escape team. Regardless of whether the team had the same opinion on this simulation, this was the news they delivered at the risk of their lives, and everyone hoped to help the Federation.
Half an hour passed, and they were only six or seven kilometers away from the tunnel. This was already the maximum speed of this team's march in the mountains. The [antenna] finally raised the mechanical arm, which meant that the enemy had appeared.
"Everyone hide."
Almost at the same time Tian Xingjian gave the order, the team that had formed a long snake immediately dispersed and entered the dense jungle, while the mechas, with the [antenna] as the center, looked for large trees with dense branches and leaves as cover, using the [antenna]'s anti-metal scanning system for camouflage.
A few minutes later, the roar of fighter planes was heard in the sky.
