Chapter 1026
Street fighting, a term that seems simple but is usually accompanied by huge casualties.
In a densely populated urban environment, especially when there are still a large number of survivors, both long-range fire and bombing are subject to considerable constraints.
We can only arrange the army to go in and deal with the attacks that may come from all directions!
Armored vehicles and tanks can also enter the main roads of the city, but they are limited to the main roads.
For a city, the largest area and population concentration area are still in various buildings...
If we were only dealing with the unintelligent creatures of the abyss, the other side might just rush directly towards the armored forces!
Da Piaoliang had experienced this kind of thing once before.
But now, although the boar people themselves are not very intelligent, they are also intelligent creatures, and they have remote command from the seven realms behind them.
They are completely incomparable.
But the most important point is...
…
Boom!
An M1A2 tank weighing more than 60 tons ran over a scrapped car on the road.
This heavy main battle tank can create a sense of vibration just by moving on the road.
Four main battle tanks and seven or eight troop carrier armored vehicles behind them formed the armored team of the guard corps in front of us.
In addition, there were several military Humvees equipped with machine guns patrolling nearby.
Drones constantly shuttled through the streets and alleys, investigating the situation nearby.
Occasionally, groups of three helicopters would fly across the sky.
After all, some important people have to be picked up in advance.
But all the armored teams stopped almost at the same time after arriving at the main road outside Manhattan.
No orders, no agreements.
This is true for both tanks and armored vehicles.
The soldiers on the vehicle also got off and began to build some simple fortifications.
The commander of Tank No. 1, with a haggard look on his face, half leaned out of the tank, looking indifferently at the chaotic street ahead and the corpses of a dozen wild boar men that were shot and killed on the street. He lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and exhaled a smoke ring.
The soldiers next to them were all silently doing their own things. Overall, they looked quite silent, even a little dead.
At this time, a communicator behind me, carrying a signal receiving box and holding a walkie-talkie, ran over and said
"Captain Morse, this is a call from command."
Morse lit a cigarette and couldn't help showing a hint of mockery after hearing the communicator's words. Then he casually took the intercom and said coldly:
"What's up?"
"What's going on?! The order is to enter Manhattan and repel those wild boars! Why did you stop at the outskirts? Do you want to be court-martialed?!"
A harsh rebuke came from inside, causing Moss to laugh sarcastically.
"Aha, go deep into Manhattan? And then wait for the nuclear bomb to destroy them all together?"
When the abyss invaded, everyone only remembered the nuclear bombs and the people who died.
But who remembers the soldiers who risked their lives to resist the spread of the abyss monsters?
Regardless of their stance, the soldiers who went deep into Brooklyn and were willing to fight the brutal abyss monsters were all quite brave, just like the firefighters who rushed in during the Twin Towers.
Those rescue workers who subsequently rescued people from toxic smoke and asbestos fibers.
But what did you get in return?
The nuclear bomb attack without any advance notice will require them to use their lives to form a defense line to block the invasion of those abyss monsters in the final stage, and then wipe them all off the map in one go!
Although many of the armored defense teams on the periphery survived thanks to the defensive capabilities of the main battle tanks.
But they all left serious sequelae.
Some were exposed to radiation, some suffered from cancer, and there were a host of other disabilities.
But just like the firefighting after the Twin Towers, the American authorities don't want to deal with this kind of sequelae that is costly, long-term and expensive to treat.
Some money was put out in the first year, but in the second year, they started to delay and argue with all kinds of excuses.
Subsequently, a large number of surviving soldiers lost their lives.
But in the face of doubts, all the blame was put on Umbrella.
It is said that Umbrella's impact on the Beautiful was too great, resulting in financial difficulties. This is all Umbrella's fault.
However, those cancer targeted drug companies are all companies that have been invested in by groups like BlackRock. In theory, if Da Piaoliang really makes an effort, it can get their treatment drugs at a relatively low cost.
However, all these proposals were rejected because they were said not to harm the enthusiasm of pharmaceutical companies.
No matter how much money is allocated, it will be divided up by these pharmaceutical companies. It is like a bottomless pit, making people feel desperate.
Umbrella has indeed developed a lot of technologies and has many innovations in medicine, but they have not yet been applied to the previous Big Beautiful Soldier.
Unless there is a spot to go to Penglai for treatment.
But ordinary soldiers don’t have such an opportunity!
I only use Ankangding to reduce pain and ensure sleep, that's all.
As his surviving comrades were sent away one after another over the past year and attended funerals one after another, Moss's heart had grown cold.
"No! This time it's Manhattan ! We can't just destroy this place! There are still a lot of survivors inside. These invaders are different from the monsters in the abyss. We have already detected that they started to capture prisoners after suppressing and disarming an area. We can't..."
"Since we can capture them and not die, there is no need for us to risk our lives. Don't you like to talk to them? Let's talk..."
Morse's tone became increasingly mocking.
Staying here is my duty!
But it is absolutely impossible for me to work for the mess caused by the wrong orders given by you incompetent politicians!
"You will all be court-martialed for disobeying military orders!"
"Then let the military court try me!"
Pah~beep beep~
Hearing the hang-up sound from the other end, the commander who took the initiative to contact them was dazed for a moment.
Looking at the map and the satellite positioning showing that almost all the fleets were parked outside Manhattan, he also understood the severity of the current problem.
If it were still the case in the past, these things could still be suppressed by controlling their own media and using their hegemony of public opinion.
Slowly it faded away.
But under the erosion and subtle influence of Umbrella TT, the truth had long been revealed.
They have status and power, occupy the vast majority of resources, and are able to make the wind and rain call them.
In the past, it was easy to impose sanctions here and there, and to wield the trade or military stick at will.
But now...
There is no point if the people below don’t listen!
People's hearts are scattered...
