Chapter 317 Faith Belief and Inheritance(1/2)
Oslo Star Zone Edge.
Kaplan Colony.
The raging storms in different space caused the entire universe to be filled with strange red and purple "clouds", and enveloped this terrestrial planet with a diameter of about 7,000 kilometers.
Putting aside the metropolitan area, there are countless villages and towns on the surface of Kaplan, with a total population of about 2.4 billion.
It should have been a comprehensive colonial planet that combines tourism, agriculture and industry. Governor Ruth also intends to focus on development and develop it into a planetary base to facilitate the expansion of the star area to provide sufficient manpower and material resources.
In terms of garrison forces, if the sheriffs are included, there are about 20 million people, which is just right for Kaplan, which has a population of less than 3 billion.
65% of them are local young people in Kaplan.
Most colonial planets implement the "three-year military service policy", that is, after the age of eighteen, they can choose to join the army and become a UNSC soldier.
This policy provides many benefits for soldiers themselves and their families. In addition, the compulsory education content that people have been exposed to since childhood, as well as film and television, game works and cultural influences, make the current social atmosphere quite martial. Even without benefits and discounts, people are willing to join the army and experience a military career.
Three years later, soldiers can choose to continue serving, but only if they need to pass extremely harsh screening.
Retired soldiers can continue to go to school, or enter society directly, and when looking for jobs and interviews, their status as retired soldiers is definitely considered a plus.
But at this moment...
Kaplan's surface is beyond recognition.
The portal of the surrender road opened and released the first demon, only two hours have passed, and there have been 2 billion, and even more residents have been slaughtered and abused by the demons, achieving alternative and perverted sacrifices.
Even though Kaplan has 20 million defensive power and retired soldiers willing to pick up guns and ammunition again, they still cannot stop the torrent of demons.
There were smoke and fire everywhere. The demons rushed to Kaplan through the portal, collecting human corpses, peeling and plucking bones, and using various blood and blood to build various bloody buildings, and then spreading them to the ground to achieve the purpose of erosion and corruption.
The surface is equivalent to falling, and only the Metropolitan Area 07 can still be regarded as a "pure land". The remaining military forces of human beings stick to this place, delaying the demons as much as possible, and buying time for the last batch of civilians who are about to evacuate.
However... all civilian ships have been crowded, carrying civilians to low-Earth orbit, entering fault space and evacuating outside the storm area.
Currently anchored above Xinggang are the only seven remaining guard-class warships, and live ammunition is exhausted, and the "they" who have lost their logistics supplements can only rely on plasma sub-cannons to provide cover for the ground troops.
More than 300,000 civilians gathered in Xinggang and waited, then took ferry boats, Pelican and Fisherman and other transportation vehicles to the hangars of seven warships.
At this time.
The frontline position in the north of Xinggang...
"Tada!"
"Sure! Sure!"
“Ri~boom!”
Gunshots and artillery masterpieces.
Everyone was pulling the trigger without hesitation and pouring ammunition into the Demon Wave.
Although the live ammunition of the warship-specification was successful, the ground troops were still rich. Not only were there fortifications between the streets and buildings, but there were many wild wolves in the tunnel network under the surface. The wolf cubs were responsible for defense to prevent demons from breaking into Xinggang.
Rear of the position.
In the temporary command center...
"High-intensity psychic reactions emerged in the eastern position! The high school college requested support!"
"Send all the surviving hunter troops and notify the company commander Kent, and let them divide thirty wild wolves into the eastern position together. We must defend them no matter what!"
"Yes! Colonel!"
The intensity of its "war situation" is no less than that of the outside world.
Andre, who was standing in the center of the command center, was scheduling with the reports of the soldiers and the information provided by the holographic screen.
After Genro was seriously injured and dying, he was brought back to the Havyote by the wild wolves, he was commander-in-chief Andre, who was once the major of the UNSC Airborne Division and now Colonel Umbrera, and has the most "old" qualifications and age.
However, no matter how much practical experience Andre has, it is impossible to lead the remaining troops to counter-defense and attack, and miraculously win.
They only had 120,000 combat power left, and they could not even reach a fraction of the demon.
"Col..." A soldier stopped the matter at hand, stood up, and said in a daze:
"The latest report from Lieutenant Loran said that the last batch of civilians have been launched, which also means... it means..."
The soldiers were unable to continue talking.
"It means that there must be someone among us... no, it should be said that the vast majority of people must stay here, stay on this dead planet."
But Andre helped the soldier say the rest of his words.
After all, all the seven frigates threw away all the possible ones. The remaining carrier-based aircraft are assisting the ground forces in carrying out suppression and bombing missions, and even the ground crews and many bombs in the hangar were transferred to Xinggang Port.
In this way, he forced himself to squeeze out more than 300,000 square meters. Where can he have a place to accommodate these soldiers?
Hearing words.
The command center suddenly fell into silence, and there were still gunfire outside.
Andre turned on the full-frequency communication of Power A, and looked around everyone present, raising his voice:
"Soldiers! Children! The last batch of civilians have been transferred, and our struggle and the sacrifices of our comrades have not been in vain!
but…
The ships that are preparing to evacuate have no spare "seats" for us to choose from. As an old man over a hundred, I will not compete for the position with young people. I will stay here! Stay on this planet of death and continue to fight against the garbage that slaughtered my compatriots!
so!
I want to teach them a lesson with me, the old man! I and Andrei Alexevic Ivanovsky, so that they can see what a fucking victory is, and that they can realize what a warrior is a silly brat!”
Andre's unique Russian emphasis, and the emotional voice fell...
"I! Colonel!" The soldier who was in charge of reporting immediately responded.
"Me too!"
"Hahaha! Just right! I want to continue hunting demons with the old colonel!"
"This is Lieutenant Colonel Gao Haosen. On behalf of the entire 01st Regiment of the 621st Infantry Division of the UNSC, I will fight with the colonel until the last moment!"
"This is Captain Horner Williams, I represent..."
"here it is…"
All officers and soldiers in the command center made statements, and even the lieutenants deployed in various positions and the school officials gave replies in the communication. It seemed that they did not care about the so-called "ship ticket" and were willing to stay in Kaplan.
"Hahaha! Good! Exciting! I deserve to be the soldiers of the people!"
Andre laughed heartily, and then the old colonel looked at the previous soldier and ordered:
"Tell all captains to take off the air immediately and do not delay the flight. This is an order! Otherwise, we and them will not be able to withstand the next wave of psychic impact of the garbage."
"Yes! Colonel!"
"Okay! Bad guys! Take your weapons and follow me to the eastern position!"
"Huha!!"
Outside the command center.
View from the air.
Andre, who was holding a laser rifle, took the lead and headed for the eastern position with high pressure to fight against high-spirited demons.
And the eastern position...
Innumerable demons with different shapes are using their psychic barriers to continuously launch impacts against lasers, pulses, bombardment and artillery.
The "vacuum" zone between the two sides has gradually shrunk.
Until they were about to face a close fight, the remaining Kriegs, wild wolves and wolf cubs took out their close weapons and confronted them without saying a word.
In the end, the Hunter troops of the Supervision Department, which had less than 100 people, were scattered between positions according to their past experience, and while fighting, they reminded UNSC, sheriffs and retired soldiers how to fight against the demons more effectively.
"Ao~!"
"Roar~!"
There were several elites, the Iron-Blooded Hunter, too lazy to care about the formation or discipline, making roars unique to their race, "stand out" from the crowd, wielding the double-edged energy sword and telescopic wrist knife.
"puff!"
"Puff!"
In an instant, the entire area was covered with flesh and blood.
At this time, the seven warships that received the evacuation order appeared above the stalemate position.
Some soldiers who changed the magazine just looked up and couldn't help but smile, changed the magazine and continued to fight desperately.
Looking at the porthole of the warship, there were people watching down, some burst into tears, and some shouting thanks.
There are also young children with tender faces who salute the soldiers below in a good manner, which may be caused by the atmosphere or from the heart.
seem…
The belief of fighting bravely, sacrificing oneself, and even some unspeakable belief were quietly passed on.
Seven warships accelerated and eventually disappeared from sight.
To be continued...
