Chapter 1819 The Battle of the School in 1820

The outline of the school in the distance is looming in the smoke left by the war, like a dormant beast. Some damage can still be seen on the broken fence railings, telling visitors about the tragic battles that took place here.

"Be careful!" Kelb lowered his voice and signaled the team to slow down: "It seems that there has been a battle here, don't be regarded as an enemy..."

He also saw sandbags piled up beside the wall, and some bodies lying on the street without anyone noticing.

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

"Who knows, those guys..." Kelb did not continue. He lowered his body and crouched towards the school gate. He didn't want to be beaten to death by his own people, or in other words, he didn't want to die at all, not by anyone.

Aigler and other elven soldiers followed suit, and this improvised team was like a group of alert cheetahs, darting through the ruins. The air was filled with a burning smell that was nauseating.

The school gate has been blown up, and the twisted iron gate is like a monster's fangs, pointing towards the gray sky. The corpses of several elven soldiers were lying in a mess at the door. Their ammunition bags had been opened. Apparently someone had cleaned the battlefield and looted all the ammunition from the corpses.

“Damn it, hasn’t this place been conquered by humans?” an elf soldier whispered, with a hint of vigilance and uneasiness in his tone.

"It can't be done. Aren't the 2nd Regiment always behind us? How can we lose our position?" Another elf soldier curled his lips disdainfully, "I really don't know what those officials think. Leave the 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 vigilant!”

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

 Kalb ignored him, but turned to look at Aigole and asked: "Have you been here before? This school."

"No." Aigole shook his head. "As soon as I entered the city, I followed the troops to the factory area. Halfway there, I started fighting with the humans. Then the troops dispersed. I followed Platoon Leader Douglas. This is my first time. Once around here.”

"It seems like this place has been attacked by the Tang Army. It's hard to say whether it's humans or our people inside. Stay vigilant... If you encounter an enemy, retreat quickly... run in the direction we came from before." Kelb told Xin Aigole came and explained, then he picked up his submachine gun and followed the pace of the other person.

"Damn Tang people!" After one of the elf veterans heard Kelb's words, he couldn't help but gnashed his teeth and cursed: "If it weren't for those **** green beasts, I should be lying comfortably at home now, drinking ale. …”

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

"Shut up! I'll say it again!" Kelb glared at him in warning again, and then the chattering elf soldier shut his mouth angrily.

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

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

The school playground is overgrown with weeds, and a few crooked-necked trees stand alone, with a few rags hanging on their branches, swaying in the wind, as if they are crying silently. The door to the teaching building was open, and it was pitch dark inside, making it difficult to see what was going on inside.

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

“Of course we have to go in,” Kelb tightened his grip on 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 else, but was stopped by Kelb's look.

"Don't worry, we are just going to borrow some ammunition, not to rob." Kelb pretended to be relaxed, but his hand holding the gun betrayed his inner nervousness.

Several elven soldiers walked into the teaching building with guns in hand. The air was filled with a smell of dampness and decay. At first glance, this place had not seen students come to school for a long time. There were some debris and bullet casings scattered on the ground, which looked particularly eerie in the dim light.

 “Where are the people from the Second Regiment?” Stewart asked in a low voice, his voice echoing in the empty corridor and appearing particularly clear.

 No one answered him. The whole teaching building was silent, the only sound was their own footsteps and breathing.

"Something doesn't feel right here..." Aigole whispered. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.

"Hush!" Kelb made a silent gesture and gave the elf soldiers on the side a look. They set up a simple formation near the stairs, covering each other and preparing to go to the second floor.

Aigele shrank his neck and stopped talking. He just tightened his grip on the rifle in his hand, his eyes full of nervousness and vigilance. He followed the team silently. Since he was a latecomer, his cooperation with the team was still very unfamiliar, so naturally he could only follow behind.

He noticed that there were some scattered corpses lying on the playground of this school, the corpses of elven soldiers wearing the same iron-gray military uniforms as him. The air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood and burnt stench, making people want to gag.

 “We are elves! Don’t shoot!” He shouted at the top of the stairs, but Kelb did not take a step forward. He just heard the sound upstairs and was sure there was someone upstairs, so he called out to confirm the other person's identity.

“We saw it! We saw it when you came 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. Human troops infiltrated in and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides, but the elves still held their position in the end. 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 motioned for them to follow them.

 Kalb, Aigole and others followed him to the second floor, and then saw more elven soldiers. These Second Regiment soldiers wore the same gray uniforms, but their uniforms were newer.

　　Everyone is busy, and some people are debugging the radio, trying to listen to orders from higher-level headquarters - obviously this is a headquarters, but this headquarters has now become a front line.

There are also some people who are loading ammunition: they are loading bullets into their own machine gun belts. This is a big project, and it also proves that the Second Regiment seems to have some ammunition reserves here.

"Which section are you from?" An elf in officer's clothing blocked the way of a group of people. He was tall and had a pistol hanging on his waist.

 "Company 1 Platoon, I am their acting platoon leader Kelb." Kelb quickly stepped forward and saluted with a military salute.

Then he introduced Aigele, who was standing there a little at a loss: "He is from the 2nd platoon of the third company, and his name is Aigele. Their troops have been scattered and suffered heavy losses. When they met us, they followed Come here."

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

The 1st regiment next door has obviously been completely defeated, and now their 2nd regiment is very dangerous here. They had luckily repelled the Tang Army's light infantry test before, and they were probably going to face a formal attack from the Tang Army next.

"Who... get some water for these brothers." The officer stopped a passing soldier and made an arrangement: "You guys take a rest first. If you think of anything important, you can come to me at any time... Tang Jun I don’t know when the attack will be launched, I have other things to be busy with..."

"We hope to replenish some ammunition..." When Kelb came, he didn't want to stay and fight with 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 anxiety: "Sir, then we will go back to our defense zone. Maybe we can hold on for a while."

“Ammunition?” Looking at the few broken soldiers in front of him, who were about as little as beggars, the commander of the 2nd Regiment obviously had no intention of handing over precious bullets to them: “We don’t have much ammunition here... It’s a pity.”

It is one thing to keep these soldiers to fight for yourself, but it is another thing to let them leave with ammunition. Just kidding, how could he let people leave without knowing anything about the ammunition? You know, in this case, ammunition is almost equal to life.

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

A few people could do nothing after hearing this. If they went back now, without bullets or other supplies, they would be doomed if they could not find their own large army.

So Kelb thought for a while and said to the officer: "Let's take a break first and then discuss the result among ourselves, okay?"

"Of course, who is that? Find them a room and let them have a good rest..." The officer nodded and waved to a veteran in the distance. When he saw the other person coming over, he made arrangements and went about his own business. .

The Tang Army invested many new weapons in street fighting, some of which were not in the battle reports, that is, the elves had never seen them. These weapons were very terrifying and caused a large number of casualties to the elven troops.

As soon as the officer returned to his position, a subordinate came over and reported the 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. It's very accurate... This news came from the 2nd Division of the City Guards."

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

“The person who sent the message described it as being about this big.” The subordinate gestured with both hands. That thing was only 1.23 meters wide. It was actually a remote-controlled airplane with a camera.

Looking at the size of his gesture, the elf officer of the 2nd Regiment immediately knew that this thing was not easy to deal with: he had heard that it was a small plane before and thought it was a big thing, but when he saw it, he I understand the horror of this thing.

This thing is probably equivalent to saying that you can slap a grenade directly on a person's face. Not only the hit rate is very high, but the lethality is also not low.

 Cannonballs with long eyes are 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 who infiltrated and attacked yesterday did not use similar weapons, otherwise they might not be able to defend the school.

"Damn, how come they always come up with these weird things?" The elf officer muttered, then thought about it and ordered: "Let the soldiers upstairs pay attention. If you see similar things, hurry up. Remind those around you…”

"If you can shoot them down with a rifle, shoot them down. If you can't shoot them down...you have to interfere with them!" He paused and then added: "Arrange a machine gun to go upstairs! Use it as an anti-aircraft machine gun!"

This is the best way he can think of. The school is built with reinforced concrete and is their natural bunker. They can hold on here for a while. If they give up here, there will be no such good building to hide in nearby. .

"The Tang Army seems to be approaching!" At this time, a soldier hurried over and reported what had just happened: "The sentry said that they saw some Tang Army moving in the building across the street."

"It's over... I guess the troops in front have been killed. The main force should be here this time." The elf officer looked grim. He walked to the room facing the direction of Tang Jun, went to an inconspicuous corner by the window, and looked at Check out what's happening across the street.

As expected, there were many Tang troops active there. If he could call for artillery support at this time, he might be able to achieve miraculous results. Unfortunately, he had no way to contact the rear because their communication equipment was always out of service.
