Chapter 1588: 1589 street light
Chapter 15881589 Street Light
The first night battle that Moss commanded in his new headquarters, the 4th Dwarf Infantry Division stationed at the port was the most elite unit of the 4th Army of the Ice Empire. They fought very tenaciously until dawn. None of them evacuated their positions.
But their losses were also very huge. They lost at least 1,000 people in a night of melee. The battlefield was littered with corpses, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell of blood.
In the end, they gave up part of their position, gave up some ruins, and shortened their defense line as much as possible.
Along the ruins, an attacking force of the Tang Army was groping forward cautiously. They held rifles in hand, avoiding the stiff corpses, and walked around a street corner where sandbags were piled up.
The body of a dwarf was hung on the sandbag. The bullet penetrated his torso, and the blood on the uniform had dried.
There were two grenades placed on the sandbags, and two other bodies were lying inside. The Tang Army soldier at the head lowered his body, found a suitable angle, and looked at the building on the other side.
"Be careful of snipers!" After not seeing the enemy, he retracted his head and reminded his comrades behind him: "The glass on the nearby high ground is broken, and it's so dark that it's hard to see inside."
“Those dwarves are really getting better and better.” The officer leading the team leaned against the wall and looked at the building on the other side with vigilance. If there is a machine gun team hidden there, their team may not even be able to react and they will be killed here.
The armored vehicles applied to cover the attack were blocked by the rubble on the other side, leaving the infantry to advance on their own. Plans can never keep up with changes in battle, and these big-headed soldiers can only use their own heads to test the scientific and unscientific layout of the enemy's firepower points.
"Group 1! Cover! Xiao Wang! Go!" After briefly arranging tactics, he gave the order to quickly pass through the intersection.
The two men in charge of the cover held their rifles and leaned out to look for possible targets. The soldier known as Xiao Wang quickly rushed out of the bunker with his rifle and ran frantically towards the other wall.
Luckily, there was no gunfire, and no bullets flew towards him until he ran to his position. He leaned against the wall on the other side, gasping for air, and then gave a thumbs up to the friendly forces on the other side.
The really scary thing about the battlefield is that most of the time you are not in any danger at all, and you can’t even see an enemy. But in the next second, bullets flying from nowhere may kill you...
Two more people ran over quickly. They were carrying heavy luggage. Running was not an easy task for them.
There was still no gunfire, and the dwarf soldiers here seemed to have withdrawn. However, no one is willing to use their own lives to verify this possibility, and everyone is still extremely cautious.
After a few people came over, the Tang army's tactics could be fully launched. The soldiers who passed the crossroads found the entrance to the ruins of the building and began to look for a vantage point to observe the nearby situation.
The remaining soldiers were safer crossing the road because they had their own precision shooters nearby to cover them from above.
The Tang Army's operational troops have their own precision shooters. They are also equipped with sniper rifles and can complete sniper cover tasks, but they are not as powerful as professional sniper teams.
However, these precision shooters are still competent when dealing with dwarf snipers. Both sides have a record of killing each other. Most of the time, the Tang army wins. “Safe!” After observing several suspicious areas with his sniper rifle, the precision shooter on the high point made a safe gesture to the friendly forces below. Everyone relaxed a little, and the large army began to move forward.
They will inspect nearby buildings and then deploy new lines of defense along the planned streets.
A few soldiers continued to cautiously move forward after removing the danger signal. Then, after bypassing a ruin, they saw a scene that surprised them.
There were some corpses hanging on a street lamp not far away, and each corpse had a wooden sign with their crimes written on it.
"The fate of the traitor..." A Tang Army soldier walked under the street lamp, looked at the bearded dwarf hanging above, and read out the words written on the wooden sign on the chest of the corpse.
"Despicable bitch..." Hanging on another street lamp is a woman wearing a torn skirt. Her neck was tilted to the side, and the angle was so weird.
“What the hell…” Looking back, there was a child hanging on the third street lamp, a dwarf child. The soldiers of the Tang Army who saw the corpse looked ugly and muttered subconsciously.
"Why did they do this?" Holding a rifle and carrying a bag, another Tang Army soldier walked to the feet of the hung dwarf child and asked in confusion.
"God knows...damn it, there's another one." Several other soldiers from the Tang Army who came over discovered the body of another child who had not been hung up with a street lamp.
Maybe it was because the Tang army attacked too fast, or maybe for some other reason, the dwarves gave up on this area and left the place hastily without hanging the last body on the street lamp.
"Maybe it's because of this..." Next to the body that was not hanging on the street lamp, there was an empty can box, some Tang Jun food packaging bags, and a crushed empty mineral water bottle.
"I hope they can be so fierce when they fight us! So that I won't feel so uncomfortable when shooting." Looking at the child's body on the ground, a big man among the Tang soldiers who gathered around said with a sullen breath.
The sound of the engine gradually became clearer, and a wheeled armored vehicle drove over from the intersection on the other side. Followed closely by the second and third vehicles, they were the cover units assigned to the infantry, and finally bypassed the ruins and caught up with the main force.
"Establish a defense line over there! Clear the nearby buildings! Be careful of snipers!" The hatch of the armored vehicle opened, and soldiers got out one by one. The leading officer waved his arms and shouted the order loudly.
"Put the corpses down... don't let them hang there... take pictures before you put them down... Why are these **** so cruel to their own people." After seeing the civilian corpses on the street lamps, several commanders looked uneasy. It looked good, especially when they saw the wooden sign with something written on the corpse of the dwarf child.
The sign read: "I ate the enemy's food."
