Chapter 476 Human Shield
Even within the organization, Ghost Face's status is no lower than that of Cheng Yanqiu, but because he is only good at commanding battles in squad mode, he gave up the position of commander to Cheng Yanqiu.
"Well... I thought maybe we could go around and stick to the rock? No... If a machine gun was placed high up at eleven o'clock... we would all be easy targets... What do you have? Opinion?"
The trading market in front was obviously cleaned not long ago, all the temporary booths were swept away, even the large canvas tent for the market managers to rest was torn off, and the dirty canvas was spread on the ground , covered with footprints.
The entire trading market is completely flat, and there is almost nothing that can be used as a bunker or shelter.
Cheng Yanqiu can be sure that this must have been done intentionally by the other party. Maybe there are a large number of soldiers ambushing in the housing area opposite the trading market.
"My opinion?" Ghost Face glanced at Cheng Yanqiu with his only eye, and then at the opposite room, and then said: "The power armor opens the way, put the big shield on top, and then push it across. "
"Push it over? What if you are shelled?"
"The opponent doesn't have extra heavy weapons. We have already confirmed this when we passed through the mine, and it is even more impossible to have heavy artillery in the residential area. It is absolutely not enough time to transport the artillery from the rear. , unless they use rail cars for transportation, but from the beginning I have been paying attention to the tracks above our heads, maybe because I am afraid that we will use the rail cars to attack again, and the other party has cut off all the power of the rail cars in this area. " said the ghost face.
"In other words, the most powerful weapons in the hands of the opponent should be individual rocket launchers and 12.7 caliber heavy machine guns. Heavy machine guns are ineffective against power armor and shields, and rockets fly at a slow speed. As long as they are not directly hit , there won’t be too many problems. To sum up, we can adopt a strong attack strategy.”
"...Well, six power armors opened the way, and all the bulletproof shields followed. The others were divided into three groups, and they passed through the market one by one under the cover of shields and power armors."
Cheng Yanqiu's order was quickly carried out. Six "Obsidian Type II" power armors covered in pitch black were at the forefront. Sweeping across the window, as soon as an enemy emerges, the 25mm caliber shells that are like a torrential rain will instantly turn those buildings into ruins.
Behind the "Obsidian Type II" are the thick bulletproof shields. These heavy bulletproof shields are all carried by a first-level evolutionary, and behind each shield are several soldiers leaning forward. .
According to the plan, the power armor and bulletproof shields will send the first batch of soldiers to the opposite side of the trading market, first establish a temporary defensive position there, and then the evolutionaries holding the bulletproof shields will turn back and escort the second batch of soldiers there .
This method may seem cumbersome, but as long as it is done properly, even if the enemy sets up a whole row of machine guns on the opposite side of the market, it will not pose much threat to Cheng Yanqiu and the others.
...
At this time, opposite the trading market, at the window on the fifth floor of a hidden building, the lieutenant colonel observed the wind and grass outside through the periscope.
"...to use this method to pass through the market. Fortunately, I saved a hand, otherwise I really have nothing to do with you. Start the preparatory plan and let those people out!"
...
Just as the power armor and shields were escorting the first batch of soldiers to the middle of the trading market, the door of a material warehouse opposite the market was suddenly opened, and with bursts of gunshots, a large group of people rushed out of the warehouse in an instant. The inside gushed out.
"There are enemies! Fire - wait! Stop shooting! Stop shooting! They have no weapons! They are civilians! Those are civilians!"
After the first few people who rushed out were knocked down by the bullets, Cheng Yanqiu and the others discovered that these people who were released were all unarmed ordinary residents of the refuge, and there were hundreds of them!
These people should have been gathered in this material warehouse because it was too late to evacuate. Unexpectedly, at this time, they were "released" by the other party.
Cheng Yanqiu and the others hurriedly ceased fire, but gunshots rang out behind these ordinary residents one after another. After comparing the two sides, these hundreds of people immediately ran towards Cheng Yanqiu and the others, crying and shouting.
Under the threat of gunfire and death, these hundreds of people rushed into the trading market quickly, and within a few seconds, they rushed to the soldiers holding their shields.
"Stop, you stop immediately, or we will open fire!" The soldier behind the shield immediately raised his gun, fired a warning shot into the sky, and shouted loudly to these civilians.
"Save us, please, save us, they...they want to kill us!"
"Please, let's go!"
"My wife has been beaten to death by them, I don't want to die...I don't want to die..."
Looking at the residents of the refuge who were on the verge of collapse, Cheng Yanqiu couldn't help frowning—to be honest, the other party would adopt such a vicious strategy, which has greatly exceeded his expectations.
These residents were sandwiched between the two sides. If Cheng Yanqiu and the others let these people pass, there would inevitably be holes in the shield wall that was originally tightly stitched.
Behind these hundreds of civilians, the soldiers who drove them were still firing continuously. These shooters were obviously very experienced in how to drive away the panicked crowd-they didn't use machine guns with extremely high killing efficiency, Instead, they use semi-automatic shooting to shoot precisely at the last civilians. Moreover, they don’t shoot at the vital parts. They only shoot at the knees, ankles and other parts, making these civilians lose their ability to move. They can only fall to the ground, moaning and screaming .
At this time, the screams of the companions have a better effect than the gunshots.
The frequency of gunshots from behind became higher and higher, and the screams and groans of the injured civilians came one after another. Although so many shots were fired, there were not many civilians who were actually killed, but this group of people who had been scared out of their wits Didn't notice it at all.
Except for the few people who were killed by mistake at the beginning, Cheng Yanqiu and the others never opened fire on the civilians. In this situation, those civilians who had rushed to the shield wall suddenly developed an inexplicable courage and began to push towards the shield wall. He also kept patting the shield with his palm, asking Cheng Yanqiu's troops to open an escape channel for them.
