Chapter 159 -Resumption of Communication (2)
Korea’s LargeSt Grain Zone Honam Plain.
The crops that filled the Earth Were negleted or rotten.
In the meantime, The Mice Run Around. I Can’t Harvest and Swallow The Dry Grains That Fell to the Ground.
PIIK!
Sometimes when I’m heading sound of the flying beast, I hid it it it it it it it in cave, bethEen Weeds, and Under the spilled skull raw.
A Brown Nose That Was Thrown Out with a Skeleton Eyehole Was Squeaked, and the Nostrils Were not rotten, but a bizarre Smell.
“Gwar!”
Many Walkers Wander Around the Plains. Sometimes you can see the surprised birds flying over the buses.
Light Sparkles from the Hills That Are Quite Away from THERE. IT is a telescope lens Received by Solar Power.
“There are more than I though.”
The Commander Who Opened His Eyes from the Telescope SAID. His lodging his has two mugunghwa.
“Good Reception.”
Dalkak.
The Telecommunications Bottle Next Door Has Put Down The Backpacking Radio.
“THE CAPTAIN. The permission has fallen. I tell you to start. “
The Battalion, Who Nods His Head with a Firm Face, Sends a Hand Signal.
The Soldiers Lying in Various places stood up one by one.
Ten, Twenty, Fifty, HUNDRED. The number of by two hundred people to increase.
The Majority of Them Were Soldiers in Military Uniforms, But Civilians in Plain Clothes are Also Mixed with Guns.
There was a sense of tension in the eyes of civilians, but there was no fear.
The Mission to feed the family, and even in this point
“Attack Start!”
For the first time after the infection war, a massive Military Operation Began.
I will Restore Korea’s LargeSt Grain Zone!
This public -printed operation is Attacked with several routes.
The Swelling of Infectious Body Scattered in Abandoned Farmland is relatively Easy. The Military Units of the Cooperative Relationship That Sent the Support Forces and the Civilian Applicants Were Allocated.
The Attack to the City Where the Infective Body Cluster Was Formed Was Played by Mokpo Garrison, The Leader of the Operation.
IT was a Small Crowd Compared to the Inland Cluster, But the City is Still a City.
IT was a stuffy speech that was Seen from the beginning.
“Keeeeek-!”
INFECTOUS BODIES Reacted Immediately to the Gunfire from Afar. Their Movements Become More Active and Start to notice this one by one.
“It started.”
The Leader SAID.
He turned the Adjustment to Semi -AUTOMATIC. The Sound of the SAME SOUND SPREADS Around a Domino.
The Soldiers of the soldier are erytherlveterans who have survidar Active. There is no need to order one trivial thing. Everyone Acted as Much as.
Of course, I can even notice this recif.
“HALF The Adjustment.”
One Soldier SAID.
“Joe, half -adjusted!”
Many Recruits Were Blessed.
“Who said that during the operation? Do you know this is a training situation? “
“Sorry!”
The Recruits Accepted from the Refugees Were Frozen.
“Relax.”
“Take your hand off the trigger.”
A savior appeared while the veteran soldiers could not calm down easily even with care.
A tram passes by them.
The unique, heavy sound of an endless track rolling. That gave the new soldier more relief than a hundred words of comfort from an old soldier.
The mere fact that this large steel body was standing in front of them gave them courage that they had never had before.
Additional tanks appeared and took their place.
Giiiiing.
With a mechanical sound, the turret turns and aims at the city.
The target is a group of walkers wandering around the city entrance.
Boom!!!
The main gun spewed fire and an ear-piercing roar spread across the plain.
Pieces of flesh scattered after being caught in the explosion of a high explosive bomb.
It may seem refreshing, but the veteran soldiers knew well that this was just the effect of touching a beehive.
Monsters would soon surge from the city like a tidal wave. But this side is also well-prepared.
The artillerymen, who had finished dissipating, waited for orders.
Small and large droplets were still falling from the gray stone dusty entrance to the city.
Beyond that, the faint sounds of monsters suddenly grew louder, and blurry dolls began to appear beyond the dust.
“Don’t shoot!”
“Take your hand off the trigger! Not yet!”
Under the command of the young officer, non-commissioned officers and senior soldiers walked around the battle lines and shouted at the new soldiers.
Shoo from behind them! With the sound, artillery fire began.
A shell flying over the city exploded and began to spray white smoke onto the ground. It is white phosphorus.
Rather than aiming for a specific point, the shots were spread out widely with the feeling of seasoning all over the city.
‘There is no city occupation. Our goal is agricultural land! This operation is to wipe out major forces that pose a threat to it. ‘Don’t worry about the damage to the city.’
The squad leaders and executives recalled the general commander’s briefing before the operation.
“It went in properly. It seems like thousands of foot candles are lit all over the city. It’s spectacular.”
A civilian man in his 30s who was conducting aerial reconnaissance with a drone said.
He is an expert who maintained 400,000 subscribers as a drone YouTuber in the past. There was active support from these civilian technicians for this operation.
“Start shooting!”
Monsters poured out in earnest.
The muzzles of the lined up fronts spewed fire.
Gunshots and screams filled the quiet plain.
The walkers who had been running without regard for their lives fell down one after another, but there were more than one of them who got up and ran again a few seconds later.
Thanks to this, the new recruits had the illusion that no matter how many times they shot and killed them, new monsters would appear somewhere.
“Aim for the upper abdomen!”
The officer shouted.
He accurately blew off the head of a running walker with intestines spilling from his torn stomach.
“There is no use in shooting only the arms of a group of boats. Shoot in the direction where vital organs, such as the lungs or heart, are located. Even if you can’t kill it, you can neutralize it.”
The machine gunners remain silent while the soldiers respond with personal firearms.
I wanted to kill the walkers that were rushing in like a swarm of ants right away, but there was a strict order from the commander not to shoot before the order.
My finger on the trigger trembled with a mix of fear, stress, and desire for destruction.
“It’s coming! “It’s coming from behind the building with the blue roof on the right!”
A civilian male who had joined the drone reconnaissance group shouted, and the machine gunners immediately turned their guns in that direction.
Kwaang!
About 10 seconds later, a large figure came out, breaking the wall of the building.
“Kwaaaaah!”
It was a juggernaut.
“Start shooting!”
Three machine guns spewed fire and fired bullets at the Juggernaut.
In this operation, the machine gunners’ mission is to deal with special mutants.
Commanders who were annoyed by mutants that suddenly appeared in melee situations during the infection war came up with their own countermeasures.
Even Juggernaut could not downplay the taste of the 7.62 mm machine gun bullet, which was much more powerful than the 5.56 mm.
The creature hesitated, bleeding in various places due to its large size, and went back into the hole it came from.
“Stop shooting! Save bullets!”
Giiiiing, clang.
By the time the machine gun stopped shooting, the tank had turned all of its barrels.
“Fire!”
Boom!!!
One-fifth of the wall of the building where Juggernaut was hiding was ripped out.
Boom!
As the tank next to it fired additional fire, the center of the building was completely destroyed, and the roof disappeared under the pressure.
Brick pieces rose tens of meters into the air and then slowly fell.
Kwasik!
One unlucky walker fell over after being hit on the head with a brick.
“Did you see that?”
Everyone laughed when one of the riflemen who was shooting pointed at the twitching walker.
“Uh… Um…”
A drone support group searched the ruins with their eyes wide open.
“Okay! It went in properly. I’m still breathing, but only my upper body remains. “I don’t think it’s dangerous because the remaining area is covered with rags.”
The officer sighed in relief at those words.
If a guy like that even penetrates our ranks, the battle line will collapse in an instant.
He once saw a battalion evaporate by a guy like that Hulk during the infection war.
It is like a small tornado as it moves around, destroying everything it encounters with incredible strength and speed.
At the point when entry is allowed, a self-destructive attack must be launched at the risk of a friendly accident, but there is no guarantee that it will work because this guy is very stubborn.
“Stop shooting!”
The wave of walkers was temporarily cut off. It’s not like they were wiped out.
Those who had gathered in one area burst out and were killed when the battle started, and it only took a moment for the group from another area to arrive.
“Is it true that there is really no entry into the city?”
The soldier asked while taking a moment to catch his breath.
“As far as I know, none. As I said before, our goal is not to occupy the city, but to secure agricultural land. What we are doing now is burning down wasp nests near agricultural fields.”
The sergeant said.
“I heard that Tarzan was found.”
“Fuck…”
Uneasy whispers spread among the soldiers.
The Tarzan the soldiers are talking about is a variant with long limbs and full body of compressed muscles, which Jinsu calls the Reaper.
Like Reaper and Juggernaut, those who can fall into the friendly camp in an instant with their incredible leaping power and mobility are the highest priority targets.
If you leave it unattended, it will literally turn into a human blender, but if you fire, more bullets will hit your allies than it will hit you.
The surviving senior soldiers were extremely wary of mutants that could sneak up on them at any time with just a few leaps.
“Everyone, come to your senses. Anyway, this is a plain. “As long as you shoot straight at the people running from your respective lines, there will be no problem.”
“Okay, that’s it for the rest. “It comes again.”
The commotion from just now quickly subsided, and the soldiers looked at the battlefield with sharp eyes.
A new wave of infectious agents is coming.
* * *
“I came out after sharpening my knife properly.”
The war situation recorded and sent by the dispatched drone was positive.
Although there is no air support from helicopters, let alone fighter planes, the armored power is at a considerable level.
Only a few southern troops operated helicopters, and most relied on drones, which the military did not have in abundance.
On the other hand, Jeju Island had a fairly strong helicopter force but almost no armored force, which was due to the peculiarities of the infection war in which sea transportation was blocked.
[It would have been easier if they had attack helicopters instead of tanks.]
“Yes, but is there any way I can help you?”
Now Jeju Island is practically an independent country. The connection with the southern survivor group on the mainland was no different from LAN neighbors.
But even in such a situation, it is human psychology not to want to give up control.
The symbolism of being an aerial means.
When a confrontation occurs with the Confederate Army, it is a part called a complementary weapon that suppresses their core armored force.
This is why helicopters were never sent from Jeju Island despite numerous requests for support from the Mokpo garrison.
In Jeju Island, they were very pessimistic about recovering their mainland territory and valued the piece of helicopter parts they had more than the success of such an adventurous operation. Wouldn’t it be a loss if you send it out for no reason and have it replaced?
The troops stationed in Mokpo probably didn’t have any expectations either, so they didn’t have any regrets.
The battle lasted until night.
There is no need to rush. Infected entities do not run away just because the situation is unfavorable.
It’s like attacking a castle guarded by a general with 1 intelligence in the game Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Just wait and stimulate. There is no need to risk climbing the castle wall since you can open the gate and come out on your own.
Even though the sun had gone down and twilight had reached its end, the city was lit up by burning buildings here and there. Explosions and gunshots rang out from time to time.
[It’s coming!]
[Light!]
Large lights installed on trucks illuminated the wetlands that formed one axis of the siege.
The width is less than 15 m at most, and the deepest point is only about waist level.
About 20 walkers were attempting to cross there.
A large light illuminated the walkers in the darkness, and at the same time, a loud gunshot erupted.
Most of them turned into pieces of meat without even reaching halfway.
Those who died in shallow places fell flat on their faces, and those that died in deeper areas slowly floated away with their backs resting.
[Stop shooting!]
[There is no need to kill those who are floating away! Even if you’re still alive, you’re still dead!]
The yellow flowers that had bloomed in the dark faded under the orders of officers and non-commissioned officers.
[There are unusually many orders to stop shooting.]
Artemis said.
Certainly, among the content we intercept, the most frequently heard command is to stop shooting, which is rarely seen on a typical battlefield.
“I guess that’s how precious each bullet is.”
Perhaps because they had been informed intensively, the executives paid great attention to stopping the soldiers’ shooting in a timely manner.
[Jinsu, this is a communication request from the Mokpo commander.]
“Connect me.”
We have officially completed exchanges with the Mokpo garrison.
Since burning the Noise Tree is the top priority, military support is difficult, but providing reconnaissance support was no problem.
Free communication was possible as it was outside the influence area of Noise Tree.
[This is Hwang Jin.]
He is the commander of the Mokpo garrison.
[Thank you very much for your cooperation in this operation.]
We were providing reconnaissance information on the entire Honam Plain by launching low-orbit satellites and drone ships.
The drones they possess have severe limitations in their range, hovering time, and observation performance, so the information we provide will be worth a fortune.
“We would like to cooperate more actively, but we also have our own circumstances.”
[I understand. Just having collaborators with the same thoughts as us gives us strength. In a world like today where even the government has turned its back on us.]
There was so much gratitude in his voice.
“I heard you were recently promoted. Congratulations.”
The newly established government on Jeju Island promoted Hwang Jin from lieutenant colonel to colonel through official channels.
It was in the name of not being able to provide physical support, but at least raising the rank to make the command of this joint operation more smooth.
[This is a government that has already lost legitimacy, justification, and morality. What is the meaning of such an appointment letter? Other unit commanders also call him Colonel Hwang as before.]
It’s the same as Goheung’s Lee Man-cheol calling himself a general, but no outside power recognizes him.
“Still, you’re amazing. I honestly did not think that we would be united to this degree and the operation would run smoothly.”
[Rather than trusting each other, we faced reality calmly.]
He sighed.
[If you keep crouching, you will be safe for a few more years. But what is the point of such mountains? Rather than starving to death in fear of monsters coming into our living room at any moment, we agreed that we should fight now while being strong physically and mentally.]
He paused for a moment.
An operation officer reported that some front lines were temporarily breached but recovered quickly.
[Then I will end this. It’s more dangerous from now on.]
“Good luck.”
[I wish you good luck with your operations.]
Dalkak.
Although communication was cut off, the operational situation in the Honam Plain area was continuously updated on the large screen.
‘There is no future for humans who do not sow seeds.’
It is said that this is what Hwang Jin said when persuading other military units and survival camps to join. He said the same thing to me.
Sowing seeds refers to farming, to future generations, and to safe land to raise those descendants.
Just as that one word pulled the other commanders out, it also moved my heart.
I moved the touch panel to bring up a screen in another area.
The Allied Forces are not the only ones demonstrating force. Powers in other regions also began to move.
All faster and more aggressively than I expected.
The new map that appears on the screen is the border between Goheung and Yeosu.
The two forces were on the verge of all-out war.
“I have to move soon.”
[Do you really need to go there yourself?]
Artemis said as if she didn’t like him.
“Maybe they could send a drone or robot instead of me.”
I buried myself behind the chair with my clasped hands on the back of my head.
“But you hate each other so much that you end up strangling the other person? In times like this, the only way to stop them is by yelling or sending in soldiers. I have to reach out my hand and tear off the grip on each person’s neck.”
I glanced at Artemis.
“It may be possible in other ways… But too many soldiers will die in the process. Soldiers who keep their positions even in situations like this.”
Artemis sighed.
[Even though I took off my military uniform, I couldn’t take off my soldier spirit.]
As always, as if he couldn’t stop me.
