At the entrance and exit of the inter-provincial highway, to the north is a relatively flat snowfield.
At this moment, the thousand-man team under Black Snake is marching slowly on this snowfield.
Although he failed to persuade Black Snake to make a more cautious strategic choice, after all, they are in the same boat, so Vides still carefully planned the marching route.
He chose to go straight south, bypass the large forests and steep slopes on the west side, enter the inter-provincial highway, and then go all the way west to cut off the connection between Changjiu Farm and the northern suburbs of Qingquan City.
The actual distance of this route will be slightly longer.
But it will also be relatively more practical.
The back seat of the armored pickup truck.
Vides spread a map on his knees, and moved his index finger on the map, drawing an arc around the front of their marching route.
"... To our west is the forest where the Dongliu camp is located. If nothing unexpected happens, the survivors there have evacuated more than a month ago."
"Our target is the inter-provincial highway to the south. After advancing there, the road ahead will be smooth."
"If the intelligence is correct, there should be a survivor settlement there."
"Even if they have probably evacuated, we can still find something useful there."
"It will be dark in about two hours. We can rest there for a night and then continue to move west. If the situation is optimistic, we should be able to reach Changjiu Farm at noon tomorrow. If they don't blow it up, we should be able to obtain a fortress located in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City, and as you wish, before your friendly forces."
Black Snake touched his chin with a satisfied expression on his face.
He believed in the professional ability of his staff.
However, he still had some questions about the plan.
While Vides was talking about his plan, Black Snake's eyes stayed on a red mark on the map.
It was the ecological experimental base of Zhongzhou Aerospace, and it was also a high ground that was easy to defend but difficult to attack. It not only had a complete wall as a shelter, but also had complete buildings to shelter from the wind and rain.
Black Snake remembered very clearly that more than a month ago, Vides strongly recommended it to him as a springboard for their attack on the northern suburbs of Qingquan City.
However, for some reason, this time his staff completely ignored the Feng Shui treasure land, and did not mention it at all from the beginning of the entire operation.
It was as if he had forgotten it.
"Why don't we just station at the ecological experimental base of Zhongzhou Aerospace? There is a high ground there, which is just right for deploying our artillery."
Vides shook his head and said.
"That location is good, but the terrain from there to Changjiu Farm is too flat."
Black Snake asked in confusion.
"Isn't this a good thing?"
Vides said.
"Of course it's a good thing for them. They will arrive faster than us and occupy the high ground waiting for us to walk in front of them."
It sounds like it makes sense.
Black Snake nodded thoughtfully, and moved his eyes to the east-west road on the map, and continued to ask.
"What if they ambush us on both sides of the road?"
Vides sighed and answered patiently.
"The terrain of the inter-provincial highway is relatively high on both sides. No one would be stupid enough to ambush people on the top of the mountain at the foot of the mountain. We only need to send a team of people to search for explosives and traps on the ground in front, and then send two teams of people to search forward along the gentle slopes on both sides of the road to ensure that there is no risk."
This guy always asks questions that people don't know how to answer.
Vides feels that his head is big.
However, unlike his headache, after getting a satisfactory answer, Black Snake showed a happy expression on his face and said easily.
"It seems that victory is just around the corner."
"Yes, if everything goes as planned."
Vides closed the map in his hand and looked at the white snow outside the car window.
His brows wrinkled slightly.
The feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger.
If the survivors in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City intend to stop them, now is probably the last and only chance.
Once the convoy on his side drives from the wilderness to the highway, the other side will lose all chances of winning and there will be no possibility of stopping them.
However...
It is also not an easy thing to ambush them here.
He deliberately chose a highway entrance that is not so close to Changjiu Farm.
Even if the other side discovers them and responds immediately after receiving the warning, it is unlikely to arrive here before him.
Should I send a few people to take a look first?
Just as Vides was thinking this, there was a bang in the southeast of the convoy.
Then there was a whoosh, and the shells seemed to fall in the center of the convoy.
It seemed to be the position of the tank.
Vides's face changed slightly.
The black snake sitting next to him reacted quickly. He saw that this guy had grabbed the walkie-talkie in his hand and yelled angrily.
"Damn it, you dare to ambush my convoy!"
"Shoot me!"
...
Bang!
The muzzle ejected a thick tongue of fire, and the sound of thunder echoed on the snowy plain.
A 20mm steel core armor-piercing bullet drew an orange-yellow track in the air, like lightning, and hit the tank 500 meters away fiercely.
Sparks burst.
There was a crisp sound, and the heavy track was broken and slid off the road wheels uncontrollably. The moving tank immediately lost power and broke down in the snow.
The predators next to them were all dumbfounded.
Obviously they had never thought that someone would dare to attack them.
And it was against the invincible steel behemoth!
The boy and the brick on the construction site, who were lying in the snow, waved their fists excitedly and cheered excitedly.
"Hahaha! The tank's tracks are broken! I hit it!"
A closer look revealed that the tank looked quite intimidating.
With a nearly eight-meter-long body, a thick gun barrel, and a sharp-edged body, it looked like a steel giant lying on the snow.
However, this thing was not as difficult to deal with as imagined. It broke the tracks with one shot, which surprised even the construction site boy and Zhuan himself.
He originally thought that he would have to fire at least a few more shots...
Unfortunately, there were no teammates nearby to high-five him.
While the predators hadn't figured out the situation, he quickly removed the smoking shell, stuffed another armor-piercing bullet into the gun chamber, and fired another shot at the tank's turret.
If the turret could be damaged, this thing would completely become a piece of scrap metal!
However, his idea was good.
But unfortunately, the caliber of 20mm was still too small.
The second shell that hit the turret was like a toothpick stuck in the wall, and was thrown out without any suspense and flew into the sky.
"mmP!"
"It's time to switch to high explosives!"
With the second gunshot, the predators finally found him, and began to shout and fire at him.
Bullets whizzed at a distance of 500 meters.
He calmly put away the bipod of the "cavalry gun", and before the muzzle of the tank moved over, the construction site boy and the brick quickly moved to another position.
Almost at the same time he left the combat position, a high-explosive bomb hit his previous position.
The snowflakes were blown up more than ten meters high, and two pine trees on the side were directly broken into two pieces, fell on the snow slope, and rolled down the slope.
Looking at the snow fog rising into the sky from a distance, the players who were ambushed not far away showed surprised expressions on their faces.
"Fuck! The caliber is estimated to be 80mm or more."
"Be more confident, and get rid of the estimate."
"Oh my god... do you think the construction site guy is still alive?"
"He is an awakener after all, and he is a power type. It's not so easy to be finished." Edge looked at the big eye next to him and continued, "The tank is in your hands. Be steady. We only have one robot and only one chance."
Big Eye, who was connected to the equipment, closed his eyes at this moment.
His consciousness has been connected to the "crawler" deployed in front. The four mechanical legs that were swinging rapidly were carrying the body and shuttling under the snow.
The target is in front!
Although he can't see it, he can clearly feel it!
His hand has already grasped the detonator, and the debt-ridden big eye gently exhaled a white mist.
"Don't worry."
"A lot of stability!"
...
Sudden attack.
The team of predators was in chaos.
They obviously had no experience in dealing with such a situation. The entire bloated team suddenly huddled together like a centipede on the snow.
However, their combat skills were good and their reactions were quick.
After confirming the direction of the attack, the tank with broken tracks first turned the turret and fired a shot in the direction of the shells. Then the coaxial machine gun next to the barrel fired a burst of bullets in that direction.
The bullets splashed a string of snowflakes on the snow slope.
If there were still people there just now, they must have been dead!
"Little guys, come on!"
"Find the rat who attacked us!"
"xx xx, I'm going to skin him and make a sofa!"
Amid the roar of a predator centurion, four teams of ten people immediately set off and quickly advanced towards the snow slope 500 meters away.
Seeing the firepower stop in the distance.
A crew member climbed out of the tank's roof, holding a toolbox in his hand, and took out the tools to repair the broken track.
Sitting on the armored pickup, Black Snake's face was full of irritation.
Half a minute ago, he received news from the tank crew that the tank's track was broken and it would take some time to repair it.
Just because of a mere attacker, the entire team had to stop.
"I suggest that the infantry be dispersed and search this area carefully," Widdes looked at him and suggested carefully, "There is a high possibility that there is more than one attacker."
Black Snake said impatiently.
"When I find that guy, I will naturally figure out how many flies there are."
The repair work on the track went smoothly.
The tank will be able to start again soon.
Raising his arm to wipe the oil on his forehead, the predator who had just got off the car was about to install the last part.
However, at this moment, he suddenly noticed that something seemed to be moving in the snow beside him.
Is it a mouse?
In a moment of distraction, the little guy had slipped under the chassis of the tank under the cover of the snow.
"What is it?"
He vigilantly pulled out the pistol on his waist, squatted down, and put his face on the snow, just about to see what it was that got under the tank.
However, the snow on the ground was too thick.
After the thing got under the chassis of the tank, there was no movement, as if it disappeared out of thin air, so that he couldn't help but wonder if he saw it wrong.
At this time, the captain's voice came from the roof.
"Is it fixed?"
He answered.
"It's almost done, it will be done soon."
The captain continued to urge, with a hint of warning in his voice.
"You'd better hurry up. If you let Lord Black Snake wait too long, you know what the consequences will be."
He said perfunctorily.
"Okay, okay, I got it."
Is it an illusion?
The predator was suspicious, but there was no time to crawl in to confirm.
He stood up from the ground.
However, just as he picked up the tools again and was about to finish the work at hand, a flash of fire suddenly rushed out from under the chassis of the tank.
Like a burning gas stove.
In an instant, there was no time to react at all, and the shock wave of the explosion hit his chest and blew him away!
Boom!
The flames and smoke of the explosion engulfed the entire tank, and the violent air wave pushed it off the ground.
The twisted steel broke into pieces, and the leaking fuel tank was ignited by the scorching heat, exploding with the ammunition rack, causing a tragic secondary explosion.
The scene was simply miserable.
Caught off guard, a Centurion was killed on the spot, and nearly twenty predators around were instantly engulfed by the flames of the explosion.
Broken limbs and arms flew everywhere.
There were wails all over the ground for a while.
It was like purgatory!
"Awesome!!!"
He witnessed the situation ahead through the telescope, paddled on the edge of the snow slope, and punched the snow beside him excitedly.
The debt-ridden big-eyed man not far away shook his head and lost the line on the spot, but soon logged back in, shaking his heavy head and muttering.
"MmP... Why did I lose it again."
At the same time, the black snake sitting in the armored pickup truck had red eyes in an instant, and his pupils were full of bloodshot.
Staring out the window with eyes wide open, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife, and blood was dripping from every knife!
That was the tank given to him by the leader!
It was also his greatest reliance!
The reason why the thousand-man team he led was able to capture cities and territories all the way, from the central part of the Valley Province to the southern part, sweeping across the entire province like a hurricane, at least half of the credit should be attributed to it!
But now, the tank has turned into scrap metal...
Those people dared!
They dared!
"I will kill them!"
"I will cut them into pieces and chop them into meat paste!"
Listening to the angry roar of the black snake, the driver sitting in front trembled, not daring to breathe, for fear of being used as a punching bag for venting anger.
Vides, who was sitting next to the black snake, was completely confused at this moment.
"...What was that just now?"
He whispered in his mouth, his eyes full of disbelief.
There was no sign at all.
He only saw a beam of fire rising into the sky, and then the "Conqueror" that the legion was proud of was blown into scrap metal.
That power...
At least 10 kilograms of T-En-T.
Maybe even more!
A drop of cold sweat slid across his forehead, and Vides, realizing the seriousness of the problem, suddenly came to his senses.
He immediately looked at the black snake sitting next to him, and shouted loudly regardless of the tyrant's anger on his face.
"Quick! Call back all the six hundred-man teams you sent out earlier!"
He was only halfway through his words.
Intensive gunfire came from the fan-shaped area in front.
Bullets whizzed in like a storm, and at least ten light machine guns and even more automatic weapons vented fierce firepower at them.
The biggest threat has been eliminated!
There is no need to hide anymore.
He was crawling in the snow, holding the light machine gun on the snow slope, pulling the trigger desperately, and shouting loudly.
"Brothers!"
"Hit hard!"
The fire from the muzzle turned the big-eyed face of the debtor red, and his index finger seemed to be welded to the trigger, and he shouted excitedly.
"Ah, ah, ah!"
Bullets whizzed around the battlefield, and some even fell on the steel plate of the armored pickup truck, making the hood bang!
Before he recovered from the previous explosion, he was hit head-on again, and the whole convoy was completely messed up.
The long team didn't care about each other at the head and tail, and they were stuck in the snow. It was not right to retreat, and it was not right not to retreat. For a while, they were in a dilemma.
Fortunately, Vides was an experienced staff officer. Although the sudden attack caught him off guard, it did not make him lose his composure.
After snatching the intercom from Black Snake and taking over the command, Vides gave several orders in succession and barely controlled the chaotic situation.
The looters gradually discovered it.
The opposite side seemed to be very powerful, but in fact there were not many people.
The four armored pickup trucks with tires spinning in the snow finally drove to the front of the convoy. Four vehicle-mounted machine guns welded with steel plates fired wildly at the snow slope 500 meters away, and quickly suppressed the opposite side.
Under the leadership of a centurion, 120 looters spread out into 12 teams and surrounded the front.
The bayonets shone brightly in the snow, like the fangs of wild beasts.
There was a bloodthirsty light in their eyes, like a pack of wolves surrounding their prey.
"Tear them apart!"
"Cut off their heads! Kill them in the most cruel way!"
"Let those rats in the gutter know the consequences of angering Lord Black Snake!"
The centurion roared, urging his men forward.
However, at this moment, a piercing scream suddenly came from above their heads.
The centurion subconsciously raised his head, and then his eyes widened. The bloodthirsty pupils were instantly replaced by the color of fear.
I saw rockets dragging thick tails across the sky, like a rain of fire falling from the sky, bringing the afterglow of the sunset to the ground.
He screamed, fell to the ground in the snow, and shouted with all his strength.
"Hide!"
The rocket did not fall on his head.
Instead, it fell behind him and hit the rear position heavily.
The flames of the explosions were connected, and shrapnel flew wildly in the open space. The boiling heat seemed to ignite the snow and burn the psychological defenses of the predators.
Looking at the sea of fire behind him, the Centurion lying on the ground, the fear in his heart gradually turned into despair, and he lost the last bit of courage to move forward.
At this time, sharp whistles came from all directions, sweeping across the entire snowfield. In the diffuse smoke, he saw his subordinates turning their backs to the enemy and running away, and then being shot in the snow.
The rear was attacked.
The armored pickup trucks covering their attack seemed to want to withdraw to help, but the snow was almost buried up to their hoods.
It was more difficult than they thought to control the tires stuck in the snow.
There was a bang bang bang sound of machine guns in the distance, and an armored pickup truck was shot through the fuel tank by an incendiary bomb, followed by the second, the third...
Faintly, the Centurion, who buried his head in the snow, heard shouts like waves.
He couldn't understand what those people were shouting.
He didn't know how many of them there were.
He only knew that this war might end faster than Lord Black Snake imagined.
Maybe it wouldn't even take until tomorrow.
Maybe tonight, they could spend the night in the houses of those survivors...
