Volume 4: Biochemical Attack Chapter 645 The General's Order
Seeing that even the 7th Division's fighter planes were shot down, Li Jiu and his team members were even more shocked.
Just now, the 12th Army attacked the plane we were on, so they could come up with some explanations on their own...
For example, there may be some misunderstanding here. The people from the 12th Army may have mistaken us for enemies, or there may be some other reason.
But the people of the 7th Division are the 12th Army’s own troops!
They can't possibly not even recognize their own troops, right?
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!…”
Immediately afterwards, a group of hovercrafts flew over from the direction of the 7th Division base in the air dozens of meters above the ground. Their formation was very disorganized, and it seemed as if they were fleeing in panic.
"Hmm? It seems that the base of the 7th Division has been captured by those little reds..." Li Jiu couldn't help but think to himself after seeing this scene.
If his guess was correct, then the fighter planes that were just destroyed and the tanks on the ground at this time should all be the Allied soldiers of the 7th Division. They were probably forced to retreat after they could not withstand Xiaohong's attack.
It was not known whether these tanks did not notice the fighter planes shot down in the air, or they were too eager to reach the alliance territory, but they rushed towards the 12th Army base ahead without slowing down at all.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
As a result, the encounters on the battlefield, like those fighter planes in the sky, were all destroyed directly by the attack from the 12th Army!
"Could it be that the base of the 12th Army has been occupied by the enemy?" Li Jiu couldn't help but think in doubt upon seeing this scene.
The 12th Army base ahead is stationed on the border of the alliance, responsible for clearing out the invading defenders in this area.
The 7th Division was the vanguard sent by the 12th Army.
If the people from the 12th Army even attacked their own subordinate units, then Li Jiu could only come up with this explanation.
But Li Jiu also knew that this explanation was very far-fetched, even almost impossible!
After all, the 12th Army's base was right next to the Alliance's energy shield. If they were really attacked beyond their control, they could immediately withdraw into the Alliance's territory.
Therefore, the possibility of the 12th Army’s base being captured by the enemy is absolutely small!
However, if their base was not captured by the enemy, why would they attack their own people?
This question completely confused Li Jiu, who always prided himself on having a good brain.
…
At the same time, in the 12th Army base ahead, a group of Alliance officers above the rank of lieutenant colonel were anxiously gathering in the combat command center.
"General! These are our own troops! It would be such a shame to destroy them just like that, right?!"
Looking at the situation outside displayed on the floating screen in the hall, the faces of these officers were all livid. A colonel officer with an upright character could not help but point at the destroyed Alliance fighters and tanks in the screen, looked at a middle-aged man in a major general's uniform, and said with a face full of regret.
Like most of the senior officers in the Fifth Corps, the major general was also a Chinese, with yellow skin, black eyes , and about fifty years old. The contours of his face were as if carved by a knife or an axe, full of the vicissitudes of life after being baptized by war. And you could tell at a glance that he was a very strict and meticulous person.
It was this general who ordered them to destroy all the coalition forces withdrawing from the battlefield!
As for the reason, it was because they were worried that some of the troops withdrawing to the alliance would be infected by the biochemical ghost warriors that suddenly appeared on the battlefield!
In order to prevent the alliance soldiers who were infected with the biological virus from bringing the virus back to the territory and spreading it throughout the entire alliance, eventually causing an uncontrollable situation, the general ordered everyone to destroy all the withdrawn troops on the spot, even at all costs!
After hearing the colonel's words, the major general remained expressionless and silent.
"Yes, General! Even if your concerns are correct, we can ask them to stop first and take action after inspection! After all, it is impossible for all these withdrawn troops to be infected, right?" Another colonel officer said anxiously.
They also understood the general's concerns.
Because, before this, they had been paying close attention to the situation on various battlefields, and had seen with their own eyes that many infected soldiers were driving various fighter planes and tanks, trying to withdraw to the 12th Army's base camp, or even directly return to the alliance.
As senior military officers in important positions, they are not like ordinary soldiers who are completely ignorant of biological viruses and the little reds that appear on the battlefield. Instead, they already have some understanding of them!
They all knew that the defender camp had been planning a biochemical battlefield in an attempt to break the current stalemate between the two sides.
And today, the biological and chemical warfare on this battlefield has officially begun!
They are also very aware of the horror of biochemical warriors. Once a soldier is infected by the biochemical warriors' virus, he will eventually be irreversibly transformed into a biochemical warrior!
Because as of now, the alliance has not yet developed an antidote to that biological virus!
Therefore, once these infected soldiers enter the 12th Army Base, or even the alliance territory, the biological virus will probably spread rapidly throughout the 12th Army Base and the alliance like a plague!
Therefore, all the officers present agreed to prevent the infected soldiers from entering the alliance.
However, they could not agree with the general's indiscriminate approach of annihilating everyone!
After all, among the soldiers withdrawn from the battlefield, most of them were not infected, and only a few were infected!
Therefore, in the view of these officers, even if they want to prevent the soldiers infected with the biological virus from returning to the Alliance, they can first let them stay near the 12th Army headquarters, and then send people to check and isolate the infected soldiers. There is no need to kill them all with one blow!
"Stop talking!" Unexpectedly, after listening to the two colonels' advice, the general shouted coldly, "I have considered all that you said. But don't forget that behind these allied troops who have withdrawn to the base are the defenders' pursuers. Before long, even we will become the target of the enemy's attack!"
