Episode 151 [ Nationwide (2) ]
10 minutes before the nuclear missile launch.
Plain north of Chifeng City, 400km from Beijing.
bang! bang! bang!
A fire broke out in the wilderness and smoke was thick.
Battalion-level tanks and armored vehicles were continuously firing toward the northwest.
It was truly incredible firepower. But the soldiers in the electronics and armored vehicles did not think so.
thud! thud!
The artillery fire coming from afar was decreasing.
A black silhouette began to appear through the thinning smoke and flames.
“Heavenly palace! Here is 1-2. The bombardment is decreasing! “The defense line is being breached!”
Company Commander Li Shiqian shouted into the division communication network.
But the answer that came back was not a good one.
– 1-2 This is Heavenly Palace. I can no longer support you. The defense line has expanded and there is no room left.
Li Shiqian frowned.
“shit! “I think you should step down, battalion commander!”
-I heard it too. As planned, the battalions 1-1 to 1-4 rapidly retreat 2km southeast.
-All right.
-When the battalion commander’s command to confirm reception
was given, the armored battalion deployed widely on the plain began to retreat.
Kiririririk.
It was not a neat retreat. It seemed as if the defeated soldiers were retreating in a hurry.
Some armored vehicles that were moving backwards spread out on the spot, and some tanks could not even reach half their speed.
Of course, the other tanks were not fine either.
As expected, this armored battalion was a unit reassembled from units disbanded due to loss of troops.
Li Shiqian, who had recently lost all his platoon members except his tank in an attack by monsters, joined this unit and was promoted to company commander.
However, the company, which included older tanks and armored vehicles, was not much better than the latest tank platoon that he originally commanded.
Li Shiqian sent a message.
“Battalion Commander. It’s 1-2. Why has the responsibility of our division’s artillery suddenly expanded? “If we are pushed back like this, we may not be able to protect Changchun.” The 80th Army Group, including Li Shiqian’s brigade, rushed west, enduring numerous casualties.
They were barely able to gather their troops and deploy them to southeastern Mongolia. It was deployed to block monsters pouring down from northern Manchuria and Mongolia.
They created a new defensive line with other Northern Theater units to protect Beijing and Manchuria.
But the deployment was too late.
The number of other monsters did not change much, but the number of rat-shaped monsters that attacked villages and cities increased from several to dozens of times.
All units tried desperately to block it, but they were still being pushed back.
“But we managed to block it, right?”
-This is Heavenly Palace. I can answer that. Another army group is moving to the rear. We are filling up the rear.
Instead of the battalion commander, the answer came from the division artillery unit.
“Are we going to build a defense line in the rear again?”
-This is 1-3. I don’t think so. It was in rapid motion?
-1-4. I also seem to be hearing some strange rumors.
-It’s a long wait. It seems like some people just run away.
-It appears that some units abandoned the supplies they had laid out and left.
Several voices poured in from the communication network.
It seemed that other unit members were also anxious due to various rumors.
“I don’t know if I should step back from this or not.”
Li Shiqian looked down at his hands and opened his mouth.
-He is the battalion commander. Orders take priority. After establishing a defense line again, the attack begins.
However, the battalion commander’s orders were different.
I’m sorry.
The retreating tanks and armored vehicles stopped again and aimed their guns at the enemy.
Through the smoke, rats larger than bulls started running again.
bang! bang! Bang, bump!
Tanks and armored vehicles exchanged artillery and machine guns.
Flames and smoke rose again.
Suddenly the monsters’ advance stopped.
When the monster stopped moving, the shooting stopped.
The battlefield became quiet.
And a command was propagated through the communication network.
-A nuclear missile was launched. Army Group 80 prepare for nuclear strike. I’ll say it again. Nuclear missile...
-What is this?
-what?
-Who are you kidding?
-! @#! #! % $ #@$” % #$
-You crazy!#@[email protected]$!
Immediately, the communication network went into disarray.
At that time, Li Shiqian came to his senses. He remembered the noise the unit members were making a while ago.
“Battalion commander . “You must retreat! We are the last line!”
“Haha, are you sure the monsters’ nuclear defense power is greater than that of tanks? If that’s the case, we’ll have to rain down nuclear bombs on them?”
The bombs dropped now were tactical nuclear bombs, so their power was not that great, but they were still several times more powerful than the nuclear bombs dropped on Japan. “
Humans will die first before the monsters are killed.”
He muttered as he looked at the swarm of large rats that were coming in.
He was able to survive the nuclear explosion thanks to being an awakened person and having a second awakening, but he couldn’t fight off the monsters that were coming on his own. “Well, I took a radiation shower anyway, so I won’t last long
. “I can’t do it.”
Li Shiqian had a pitiful expression.
As he prepared to die, he remembered his family living in Manchuria.
Mushroom clouds were rising side by side from west to east. Those mushroom clouds made it clear. This attack was a nuclear attack to defend Beijing. .
The Tang gave up the 80th Army Group and Manchuria to protect Beijing.
If the road to Beijing was blocked with nuclear weapons, the monsters pouring down from Mongolia had no choice but to head to Manchuria.
And the 80th Army Group, which was supposed to stop those monsters, was now completely devastated by the attacks. The surrounding temperature dropped quickly.
And
with that, the monsters came right in front of him.
Li Shiqian clenched his fists. Thinking of his family, he couldn’t just die. He planned to struggle until the end.
‘Fighting characteristics . It’s a shame it’s not this.’
He did the tai chi posture he had learned a long time ago and threw his power at the rat running from the front.
His fist flew towards the rat that was bigger than the bull.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
A huge explosion of noise erupted.
Dozens of rats bigger than the bull were killed. It was disintegrated into pieces.
A furrow was made in the ground and the air was torn apart.
And the dozens of rats that followed were cut down.
It was as if hundreds of blades were cutting through the space.
Most of the monsters that were running disappeared in an instant. And The remaining monsters also quickly stopped and ran away in all directions.
Li Shiqian stared blankly ahead with his fist out.
An unfamiliar voice came to his ears.
“Fortunately, the coordinates I made before were nearby, so I wasn’t late.”
It was a voice whose meaning I didn’t know, but I felt like I knew what country it was from.
“Korean?”
He looked back.
A man in body armor and sunglasses was standing behind him. The sword in his hand was emitting a dull light. “
You are the 2nd Awakening. I am glad you are not late. I am an Awakening belonging to EV.”
This time, Li Shiqian could understand. The awakened person from EV spoke fluent Chinese this time.
Li Shiqian was beside himself. The sudden salvation. He couldn’t figure out what happened.
But the other person asked the question first.
” “What happened? They dropped a nuclear bomb in front of their own troops. Did the operation go awry?”
He came to his senses when the man wearing sunglasses said,
“No, the Party abandoned us in Manchuria.”
He vented all his anger towards the unfamiliar man.
As the story continued, Kyung-hoon’s eyes under his sunglasses turned round.
-I was on a reconnaissance mission, but I heard something unexpected. What are you going to do?
When the story ended, Kyung-hoon opened his mouth.
“Take the survivors and join the unit. “I will go around more and save people.”
“But the radiation...”
-Radiation is not a problem for the awakened and monsters.
“The awakened do not take radiation damage. You do not need to worry.”
Li Shiqian’s expression brightened. The fear of dying disappeared.
He hurriedly ran towards another tank. There were still survivors in the tank battalion.
He was okay, but the others were not. We had to get out of here quickly.
“There is a possibility. I think?”
-I am checking the communication network now. There is a lot of anger. It seems possible.
“I will be busy.”
Gyeonghoon started running with his newly acquired Samjeonggeom.
***
Nuclear attacks continued several times after that.
The advance of the monsters heading towards Beijing was stopped and the Chinese army was able to create a proper defensive line.
Surprisingly, many of the 80th Army Group survived . Rumors of an awakened man slaughtering monsters spread among the surviving soldiers, but Tang did not hear the rumor. As the
troops gathered, Tang issued a new order to the 80th Army Group.
[The 80th Army Group should reorganize and participate in the defense of Beijing.
]
But They did not go to the designated place.
The 80th Army Group refused the orders given by the Tang.
Most of the soldiers in the 80th Army Group were from Manchuria. They could not forgive Beijing for abandoning them and the Party for abandoning Manchuria.
The commander and staff were subordinates. He was shot to death by his family.
Then they returned their troops to Manchuria.
The 80th Army Group began marching east to protect their families.
