Chapter 1819 1820 School Battle

The outline of the school in the distance was vaguely visible in the smoke of war, like a giant beast lying dormant on the ground. Some damage could still be seen on the broken fence railings, telling visitors about the fierce battle that had taken place here.

"Everyone, be careful!" Kelb lowered his voice and signaled the team to slow down. "It seems that a battle has already taken place here. Don't let them mistake you for the enemy..."

He also saw the sandbags piled up against the wall and some bodies lying on the street with no one paying attention to them.

"Boss...will they shoot at friendly forces?" Egle was a little nervous and couldn't help asking. He noticed that Kalb's knuckles were white when he was holding the submachine gun, and he was obviously more nervous than he appeared.

"Who knows, those guys..." Kaleb didn't continue talking. He lowered his body and crouched towards the school gate. He didn't want to be beaten to death by his own people, or he didn't want to die at all, no matter who beat him to death.

Aigole and other elven soldiers followed suit, and this makeshift team was like a group of alert cheetahs, shuttling between the ruins. The air was filled with a nauseating smell of burning.

The school gate had been blown up, and the twisted iron gate pointed at the gray sky like a monster's fangs. Several bodies of elven soldiers lay in a mess at the door, and their ammunition bags had been opened. It was obvious that someone had cleaned up the battlefield and looted all the ammunition from the bodies.

"Damn it, has this place been taken down by humans?" an elf soldier whispered, with a hint of vigilance and uneasiness in his tone.

"No way. The 2nd Regiment has been behind us the whole time. How can we lose the position?" Another elf soldier curled his lips in disdain. "I really don't know what those officials were thinking. They actually handed over such a good place to these rookies."

"Shut up, and try not to make any noise!" Kelb scolded in a low voice, "Stop talking nonsense and be more alert!"

The soldier who spoke closed his mouth reluctantly, leaned against the wall with his gun, and looked at the silent teaching building in the school.

Kaleb ignored him and turned to look at Egor and asked, "Have you been here before? This school?"

“No.” Aigle shook his head. “When I first entered the city, I followed the troops to the factory area. Halfway there, we got into a fight with the humans. Then the troops dispersed. I followed Platoon Leader Douglas the entire time. This is my first time around here.”

"It looks like this place has been attacked by the Tang army. It's hard to say whether there are humans or our people inside. Stay alert... If you encounter the enemy, retreat quickly... Run in the direction we came from before." Kaleb instructed the newcomer Egel, then picked up his submachine gun and followed the other man.

"Damn Tang people!" After hearing what Kaelb said, one of the old elves could not help but curse with gritted teeth: "If it weren't for those damn green beasts, I should be lying comfortably at home, drinking beer..."

They often privately describe the Tang army as green-skinned beasts, because they hate the camouflage of the Tang army. Of course, this also means to belittle the Tang army, because many of the short goblins have green skin, and the elves obviously look down on the ugly green-skinned monsters like goblins.

"Shut up! I'll say it again!" Kaleb glared at him warningly again, and the chattering elf soldier finally shut up in disappointment.

"Ignore him," Kaleb said helplessly to Egel, "His brother was killed in a battle in the north half a month ago, so he is like this..."

"I understand." Aigle nodded. The war made everyone lose something. Some people lost their loved ones, some lost their friends, and some lost their souls.

The school playground was overgrown with weeds, and a few crooked trees stood alone, with a few rags hanging from their branches, swaying in the wind, as if they were crying silently. The door of the teaching building was open, and it was pitch black inside, so it was impossible to see what was going on inside.

"Shall we go in?" asked an elf soldier with a hint of hesitation in his tone.

"Of course we have to go in," Kaleb clenched the submachine gun in his hand, "We have to get some ammunition. Do you want to fight those humans with your bare hands?"

"But..." The elf soldier wanted to say something, but was stopped by a look from Kaleb.

"Don't worry, we're just going to borrow some ammunition, not to rob." Kaleb said casually, but his hand holding the gun betrayed his inner nervousness.

Several elf soldiers walked into the teaching building with guns drawn. The air was filled with a damp and rotten smell. It looked like no students had come to this place for a long time. There were some debris and shells scattered on the ground, which looked particularly eerie in the dim light.

"Where are the people from the Second Regiment?" Stuart asked in a low voice. His voice echoed in the empty corridor and was particularly clear.

No one answered him. The entire teaching building was silent, with only the sounds of their footsteps and breathing.

"Something feels wrong here..." Egle whispered. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"Shh!" Kaelb made a gesture of silence and gave a look to the elven soldiers on the side. They arranged a simple formation near the stairs, covering each other and preparing to go to the second floor to take a look.

Aigle shrank his neck and stopped talking. He just clenched the rifle in his hand, his eyes full of tension and vigilance. He followed the team silently. Because he was the last one to arrive, he was still unfamiliar with the team, so he could only follow behind.

He noticed that there were a number of bodies scattered across the school's playground, bodies of elven soldiers wearing the same iron-gray uniforms as him. The air was filled with a nauseating smell of blood and burnt odor that made him want to vomit.

"We are elves! Don't shoot!" Kaelb shouted to the top of the stairs and did not move forward. He just heard a voice upstairs and was sure that there was someone upstairs, so he shouted to confirm the other party's identity.

"We saw it! We saw it when you sneaked in!" A reply came from upstairs. Soon, an elf soldier holding a submachine gun came down, making everyone relax a lot.

It seems that this place is still in the hands of the elves. The human troops infiltrated and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides, but the elves finally held their positions. Unlike these defeated soldiers, the soldiers of the second regiment were obviously more organized and disciplined. The elf soldiers who came down looked at the dusty soldiers, shook their heads, and signaled them to follow them.

Kaleb, Egole and the others followed him to the second floor, and then saw more elf soldiers. These soldiers of the second regiment wore the same gray uniforms, but their uniforms were newer.

Everyone was busy. Some were debugging the radio, trying to receive orders from the higher-level command center - obviously this was a command center, but this command center had now become the front line.

There were also some people loading ammunition: they were loading bullets into their machine gun ammunition belts. This was a big project, and it also proved that the Second Regiment seemed to have some reserve ammunition.

"Which unit are you from?" An elf dressed in officer's uniform stopped the group. He was tall and had a pistol hanging on his waist.

"I'm from the 1st Platoon of the st Company, and I'm their acting platoon leader, Kalbu." Kalbu quickly stepped forward and saluted.

Then he introduced Aigle, who was standing there at a loss. "He is from the 2nd Platoon of the rd Company. His name is Aigle. Their troops have been dispersed and suffered heavy losses. When they met us, they followed us here."

"Thank you for your hard work." The officer nodded. From Kaleb's introduction, he roughly learned about the battle situation nearby. This is very important information, which can sometimes determine the life and death of many people.

The 1st Regiment next door had obviously been completely defeated, and now their 2nd Regiment was in great danger. They had luckily repelled the Tang army's light infantry probing before, and they would probably face the Tang army's formal attack next.

"Hey, you... get some water for these brothers." The officer stopped a passing soldier and made arrangements: "You guys take a rest first. If you remember anything important, you can always come to me... We don't know when the Tang army will launch an attack, and I have other things to do..."

"We hope to replenish some ammunition..." When Kelb came, he had no intention of staying and fighting with the people of the 2nd Regiment. He just wanted to replenish supplies and ammunition, and then return to find his own troops.

So he spoke of his plan with some trepidation: "Sir, then we will go back to our own defense zone. Perhaps, we can hold on for a while longer."

"Ammunition?" Looking at the defeated soldiers who were no more than beggars, the commander of the 2nd Regiment obviously had no intention of handing over the precious bullets to them: "We don't have much ammunition here... It's a pity."

It was one thing to keep these soldiers to fight for him, but it was another thing to let them leave with the ammunition. You must be kidding, how could he let them leave with the ammunition without knowing why? You have to know that in this situation, ammunition is almost equal to life.

"If you are willing to stay and help, I welcome you and I can give you some bullets... But if you want to leave, I can't give you my own ammunition." The officer of the 2nd Regiment was straightforward and made his point clear.

When the men heard this, they were at a loss as to what to do. If they went back now, without bullets or other supplies, they would not be able to find their main force and that would be the end of them.

So Kaleb thought about it and said to the officer, "Let's take a break first and then discuss the result ourselves, okay?"

"Of course, sir! Find them a room and let them have a good rest..." The officer nodded, then waved to an old soldier in the distance. When he saw the other party coming over, he made some arrangements and went about his own business.

The Tang army used many new weapons in the street fighting, some of which were not reported in the battle report, that is, the elves had never seen them. These weapons were very terrifying and caused a large number of casualties to the elf troops.

As soon as the officer returned to his position, one of his men came over and reported a piece of news he had just learned: "The Tang army has a small aircraft that will suddenly crash into the target and explode. It should be controlled by someone from a distance, and the explosion is very accurate... This news was sent by the 2nd Division of the City Guard."

Obviously, the officer who had never seen a suicide drone could not imagine what a small plane was, so he subconsciously asked: "What is a small plane?"

"The person who brought the message said it was about this size." The subordinate gestured with his hands. The object was only about 1.23 meters wide, and was actually a remote-controlled airplane with a camera.

After seeing the size he gestured, the elf officer of the 2nd Regiment immediately realized that this thing was not easy to deal with: he had heard that it was a small plane and thought it was a very large thing, but after he saw it, he understood how terrifying it was.

This thing is basically the same as being able to throw a grenade directly at a person's face. Not only is the hit rate very high, but the lethality is also quite high.

A cannonball with eyes is quite terrifying. If the opponent can really control it to hit the target directly, it will definitely cause huge casualties to the elf troops.

Fortunately, the human troops that infiltrated and launched a surprise attack yesterday did not use similar weapons, otherwise they might not be able to defend the school.

"Damn it, how come they always come up with these weird things?" The elf officer muttered, then thought for a moment and gave an order: "Tell the soldiers upstairs to pay attention. If they see similar things, quickly alert the people around them..."

"If you can shoot it down with a rifle, shoot it down. If you can't shoot it down... you have to disrupt the enemy!" He paused and added, "Arrange a machine gun upstairs! Use it as an anti-aircraft machine gun!"

This was the best solution he could think of. The school was built with reinforced concrete and was their natural shelter. They could hold out here for a while. If they gave up here, there would be no such good buildings nearby to hide in.

"The Tang army seems to be approaching!" At this time, a soldier ran over in a hurry and reported what had just happened: "The sentry said that he saw some Tang army active in the building across the street."

"It's over... I guess the troops in front have been killed, and the ones coming this time should be the main force." The elf officer looked grim, and walked into the house facing the direction of the Tang army. He went to an inconspicuous corner by the window and looked at the situation across the street.

Sure enough, there were many Tang troops active there. If he could call for artillery support at this time, it might be effective. Unfortunately, he had no way to contact the rear because their communication equipment was always unusable.
