Chapter 319 Gathering Place (Part 1)
At this time, the strategic shelter in the rear, a giant shelter with a radius of tens of kilometers, was full of bulging air-raid shelters, and outside was densely packed with people fleeing.
Everyone's face was full of panic, and the only thing they could do was to accept strict inspection before entering the shelter.
The sound of the broadcast continued to sound throughout the huge shelter.
"Warning! Level 1 combat warning!"
"Please all combatants, immediately go to the coordinates 5912, 432 defense line, and prepare for battle!"
"Reminder: There are 23 minutes and 23 seconds before the enemy arrives at the shelter!"
"Reminder: The temporary water curtain barrier at the shelter will be officially opened in 20 minutes!"
"Reminder: All refugees please do not riot, the shelter will enter the level 1 control state, and anyone who disrupts order will be severely punished."
At this time, a large number of fully armed soldiers and war weapons walked out of the shelter, just three kilometers in front of the shelter, forming a new line of defense!
Rows of anti-aircraft vehicles erected missile launchers.
A large number of guard guns on the ground rose up, and the anti-aircraft guns behind the shelter stretched out like waves.
The scene was very spectacular.
On the defense line of the position, a general with his hair standing up, wearing heavy exoskeleton armor, and a cross scar on his face, roared!
"You bastards, this is not an exercise!"
"I repeat, this is not an exercise, show your fighting spirit."
"Swear to die!"
The loud voice echoed in response!
"General, next time you shout so loudly, can you stay away from me! It affects my deployment!"
At this time, a 1.72-meter-tall man with long black hair draped to his waist stood next to Liu Tong. His delicate facial features were full of sorrow, and he couldn't help but complain with his hands covering his ears.
Ying Hualan, a combat staff officer, had served as a front-line troop and front-line commander. Because of a certain battle, he was seriously injured. Although he was rescued, he could no longer command in person, so he had to retreat to the second line and serve as chief of staff. Rank major general.
"Ahem, I'll pay more attention next time. How's the battle deployment?" Liu Tong replied a little embarrassedly.
"Not very optimistic, you see."
Just when Ying Hualan was about to explain, an adjutant hurriedly reported: "General Liu Tong, the latest feedback information, General Cao Kui is leading the blocking troops to retreat while fighting, and is expected to arrive in 18 minutes."
Liu Tong twisted his neck and replied: "That kid retreated so quickly, how long did he hold on?"
"A total of 16 hours and 23 minutes."
"What about the death rate?"
"53%, more than half." The adjutant next to him took a breath and replied after looking at the data.
"It seems that General Cao Kui and his men have tried their best, and the rest is our turn." Ying Hualan said heavily on the side.
Hearing this, Liu Tong's resolute face couldn't help but twitch. How could he not know! As a member of the same department, he knew Cao Kui's temper best. There were only soldiers who died in battle, but no cowards who retreated. This could only mean that things had reached a point where they could not be resisted. Then he shouted solemnly.
"Let the logistics and medical troops prepare to welcome our companions back!"
"And tell everyone below, don't embarrass me!!! Don't let the companions who retreated from the front line laugh at us!"
"Yes!"
It didn't take long before a large number of troops were seen retreating in a panic from a distance.
One of the camouflaged command vehicles accelerated and rushed towards the central command area of the second line of defense of the shelter.
All the defense checkpoints along the way automatically dispersed to make way for a road.
The camouflaged command vehicle braked sharply and stopped right in front of General Liu Tong and Major General Ying Hualan who came out to wait.
The car door opened, Cao Kui and Lu Liang jumped out, and walked straight towards Liu Tong.
Liu Tong came forward, and the two hugged each other. Liu Tong said, "Leave it to me next. You take your people down to rest."
"No! I have issued an order. All the injured people will be treated in the shelter. After the combat-capable people are replenished and rested at the shelter, they will return to the battle immediately. The number of enemy attacks is more than you think. And I don't know why, I have a bad feeling. Does Commander Xiao Chen have any instructions?" Cao Kui replied with a heavy face.
"No, just one order. No problems are allowed to occur to the transferred migrants. These are the foundation of Longxia's future!" Liu Tong shook his head and replied.
"I understand."
Cao Kui nodded.
At this time, Su Bai flew to the logistics supply point of the shelter in the mecha and landed. He put down the wounded in his hand, and immediately a group of medical personnel ran up.
"Thank you." The wounded soldier captain saluted Su Bai weakly.
Su Bai controlled the mecha to salute back and watched them being sent away.
Su Bai heaved a sigh of relief after a long time, finally he could take a break. But the next second, Su Bai was stunned when he saw the endless crowds of people at the shelter in the distance!
I couldn't help but swear!
"What the hell!"
Even if they didn't hold out for 24 hours as scheduled, they held out for almost two-thirds of the time anyway. How come there are still so many people gathered here?
Su Bai controlled the mecha and raised his head to open the optical scanning device to look into the distance.
Behind the shelter, huge underground entrances were lined up in a row, and a special checkpoint was set up at each entrance.
There was a long queue at each checkpoint, and the queue was full of people with families. They looked very anxious and were looking forward to their turn as soon as possible.
The whole team moved forward very slowly.
At the entrance of the passage, everyone had to go through several special instrument inspections, and also had to undergo a one-on-one blood draw by a doctor.
On-the-spot test!
If they were unhealthy, carried serious infectious diseases or were severely irradiated, and if they were disguised mechas, they would be taken down on the spot!
Seeing this scene, Su Bai finally understood why so many people had accumulated and had not been evacuated.
At this speed, it would take several days and nights to evacuate them all.
Seeing this, Su Bai was a little confused. What was going on? The enemy was almost in front of them, but they didn't allow the people to enter the underground passage to hide. Instead, they strictly checked it.
He was a little suspicious. Where did this passage lead to?
Just when Su Bai was wondering, he heard a voice faintly.
"Water curtain barrier opening countdown 10, 9"
When the number returned to zero, the sky-high water curtain barrier rose! Protect the entire shelter, and of course leave a few entrances and exits!
Of course, the water curtain barrier of this shelter is more advanced and cyclical!
It can be used to prevent large-scale barrages.
Su Bai was dazed by the spectacular scene of the water curtain barrier rising.
"Su Bai!"
