Chapter 37: Burning Heaven -6

The stray bullet can already penetrate the aluminum alloy protective wall. The colonel's gaze swept over the bullet holes, knowing that the enemy would soon break through the defense line of the second regiment. On the platform, there was the first regiment led by him personally, but he did not know the casualties of the other party. Without a radio, he could not grasp the information from the front line. So far, he has not seen an enemy, and his defense line has been gradually collapsing.

The copper wire leading to the city has been cut off, we must find a way to reconnect it, "said a young man named Katayama anxiously as he approached the colonel." Colonel, I need your help

Enough! "The lieutenant lost his last patience in fear." Don't make any more demands! If this continues, all of us will die here! We must give up this train station, we should immediately withdraw our defenses and retreat

The colonel waved his hand to stop the lieutenant. He looked at the young man and said, "That set of copper wires is so important? How can we reconnect it

The most likely scenario is that a line relay station used for maintenance has been destroyed. I believe they are still unaware of the existence of this group of copper wires. As long as a team can retrieve the relay station and connect the line ends, they can turn the tide

Got it, "the colonel nodded." Where is the location of that relay station

It's about 1000 meters away from here, half a meter high, like an iron cabinet in a transformer room exposed on the ground

Colonel! "The lieutenant shouted," We can't listen to them! We don't have to accept their orders! The front line of defense is only 600 meters away from here now, and we can't even defend. How can we attack and fight? We should evacuate! Evacuate

It's no use. If we go back like this, each of us will go to military court. "The colonel remained calm." Lieutenant, did you see the enemy's appearance on the front line

The lieutenant shook his head.

I have never fought such a battle before. I cannot see the enemy, but the defense line is repeatedly torn apart. This kind of enemy, no matter what they are, vampires or... children... "He looked deeply at the young man," should not exist in the world. I now understand the reason why the higher ups mobilized us

Lieutenant Longbal! "The colonel turned behind him," Take your 20 men and connect them to that line. It's about 1000 meters away from here

Longbal stepped out and waved his assault rifle at his subordinates, and 20 people followed him.

Sergeant Lemaire followed Lieutenant Longbar and they broke away from their defense line from the northeast and entered the battlefield. What he saw was a sea of fire, as if the whole world had been set on fire. It was a massive burning caused by napalm bombs, and the oxygen in the air seemed to have been drained. If it weren't for wearing an oxygen mask, none of them could have taken a step forward in this terrible place. Gasoline bombs are one of the most lethal weapons of the Secret Service's special forces and have been used in this brutal battle.

Lemaire has not yet seen the face of any enemy. As he passed through the defense line of the second regiment, he saw soldiers firing indiscriminately with assault rifles and heavy machine guns, throwing tons of bullets into the battlefield. Amidst the deafening gunshots, only occasional faint sounds of sniper rifles could be heard, and his comrades were hit one after another.

Is that how the defense line was broken? "Thought Lemaire.

The large caliber sniper rifle made him shiver all over. When this type of rifle hits a person, there is a small bullet hole on the front, but the wound from the bullet behind it looks like it has been blown apart by artillery fire, with a wound the size of a basin that cannot be treated in time.

Fortunately, the relay station was not located in the central area of the firepower conflict between the two sides, but in the north, so the sniper rifle bullets did not appear here and no enemies were visible. They successfully approached the target with the help of terrain cover.

Lieutenant Longbal crouched behind a naturally raised mound and looked up at the iron cabinet about 150 meters away. It was half buried underground, emitting a faint electric flame, as if it had been torn apart by bullets from the outer metal sheet.

Connect to the line, the rest is not our business, "Longbal took off his oxygen mask, said a sentence, and quickly put it on again.

Everyone nodded together, they had to rush out of all the covers to reach the relay station, as it happened to be in the center of the open area. Lemaire swallowed a mouthful of saliva and felt his underwear sweat wet.

Longbal suddenly stood up and took the lead in rushing over, with everyone following behind him.

150 meters!

100 meters!

50 meters!

30 meters!

10 meters!

Lemaire is preparing to retrieve insulation tools from the tool kit in his belt.

At this moment, several black shadows flashed from the flames! Lemaire saw such fast movement and fierce attack for the first time, but it was not the sniper bullets he was worried about, but the sharp cleaver. A few figures suddenly emerged from behind the flames, holding straight edged knives that Lemaire had never seen before. They did not wear oxygen masks, but they were still able to move freely in this severely oxygen deficient environment. This is an ambush, they have already discovered this team and are hiding behind a burning barrier.

Lemaire watched helplessly as the sergeant at the forefront was beheaded with a knife, with blood gushing out and his headless body lying on the nearby bonfire.

Lemaire couldn't believe his eyes! Their combat uniforms had a titanium alloy steel lining at the collar that specially protected their necks, but it couldn't withstand the blow of the cleaver. The soldiers stopped at the same time and fired at the jumping shadows. Amidst the dense bullets, the shadows moved in twists and turns, moving at a speed that was not even human like. The intersecting trajectories were unable to lock onto their attack route, and the leading shadow agilely collided into the arms of a sergeant before jumping away like lightning. The blood from the sergeant's heart spurted out three meters away and he collapsed weakly.

Step back! "Longbal took off his oxygen mask and shouted loudly.

But the opponent's speed is too fast, and bullets cannot catch up with these enemies. The shadows were as fast as world champions in the 100 meter race, wielding knives behind the soldiers as the bodies fell one by one. As Lemaire turned around, he saw the tall and burly Lieutenant Longbal rolling his eyes and pressing him down below. Hot blood spilled onto Lemaire's oxygen mask, and then a knife stabbed from behind Longbar, piercing into Lemaire's lower abdomen.

At this point, not a single member of this team stood still. The shadows jumped over the corpses and advanced towards the next battlefield.

At this moment on the platform, the colonel silently glanced at his subordinates.

Young people are constantly dialing at the telephone booth, but there is no signal sound in the microphone.

They haven't recovered yet, can they succeed? "The young man asked.

This is a probability event, "the colonel smiled.

It's rare to see someone laughing now, "the young man said, his voice trembling slightly.

I am an old soldier, and I can always laugh, "the colonel sorted out his equipment." My soldiers are not many left, and after our train passed the fork at the Frantis North Station, the engineers have started to dismantle the tracks. Now we have no way to retreat because there is no way out

Either win or die in battle, right? "The young man looked up at him." So calm, Colonel. Have you participated in the Third Total War

Yeah, I was lucky enough to survive at that time, thinking that one day I would have to pay for this life and be on par with my former comrades. As the day of retirement approached, I thought I could escape this disaster, but who would have thought I would come anyway. "The colonel held onto Beretta's gun machine tightly with his hand and said," Get ready to use your backup plan, I know you have your own preparations

After a moment of hesitation, the young man nodded and said, "It's been a pleasure working with you. I haven't asked for your name yet

Hasimodo Tomomi, Colonel of the First Regiment of the Special Army Division of the French Secret Service, "the Colonel said in Japanese." In Japanese, he is Tomzo Hashimoto, but his nationality is French

"They are all Japanese. I thought you were Chinese, Katayama Youkai," said the young man

I was born in France and have never been to Japan, "said the colonel.

It's a pity, that's a very interesting place, "said Katayama.

The soldiers with bulletproof shields and the colonel entered the last line of defense of the first regiment together. The young man picked up the microphone and leaned in to his ear, but there was still no signal sound inside.

On another battlefield, Lemaire forcefully pushed away Lieutenant Longbar who was pressing against him. He felt like he was almost suffocating, but the knife unfortunately cut off the oxygen tube in his abdomen. He snatched the second lieutenant's oxygen mask and took a few breaths before putting it back on his face. His abdominal injury was not serious, but it looked terrifying. Lemaire pressed the wound hard, feeling that if he didn't press it, his intestines would flow out.

He used his other arm to support himself and climbed towards the relay station 10 meters away. The 10 meter distance almost exhausted his physical strength. He lay underground and kicked several times with all his might, opening the twisted iron door and exposing the complex wiring inside. The two strands of copper wire wrapped in colorless insulation were obviously broken. Lemaire used pliers to strip off the insulation layer outside the copper wire and twisted the two strands of copper wire together with one hand. Fortunately, there was no high voltage on the line, it seemed to be just a data line.

After finishing everything, he gasped and crawled back to Lieutenant Longbal's side, testing his breath with his hand. He felt a faint breath and felt much better in his heart. The others had all died, and looking at their faces, Lemaire knew he didn't need to try anything again. He pressed his abdomen with one hand and pulled at Lieutenant Longbar's military uniform with the other, trying to drag him out of this raging fire.

Lemaire's consciousness gradually began to blur, and he reminded himself that he must remember to take a breath of oxygen after a while, otherwise he would suffocate to death. His vision ahead began to blur, and he wasn't sure how many meters were left, maybe 10 meters, maybe 100 meters.

"His mother, let go of me!" A big hand hit him feebly.

Lemaire turned around and saw Lieutenant Longbar's eyes open.

I've completed the task, I've connected that set of wires, "Lemaire said with difficulty.

What else is there to connect? "Longbal hoarsely scolded," That's the circuit that controls the self destruct system, don't you understand

We serve in the Secret Service, and if we don't complete our mission, we'll have to go back to a military court, "Lemaire ignored him and pulled him forward again with force.

You idiot, you understand the battlefield and I've told you before. The most important thing on the battlefield is to survive. I signed that damn confidentiality agreement for you, and you didn't write it down. If you escaped, you could hire a good lawyer to deal with the army that wants to sue you. Why don't you understand? "Longbal widened his eyes, extremely angry.

Lemaire turned around and looked at his boss with a sudden realization.

He didn't say anything, turned his head and continued to pull Longbar forward centimeter by centimeter. But he didn't see behind him, a child with a bloody face holding a straight edged long knife, silently approaching them. Longbal closed his eyes.

A telephone booth over 1000 meters away. Finally, a clear signal sound came from the microphone. Katayama held the microphone in his arms and exclaimed excitedly, "Thank goodness
