Chapter 191 The Price of Sending Troops

The sky outside the window finally became bright.

Raphael looked along the corridor towards the broken window. Because of the darkness last night, he only knew that there was an empty flat area on the other side of the corridor.

Now that it was daylight, Raphael could see that the empty space was a small open-air parking lot provided by a nearby shopping mall.

At this time, there were still many damaged cars parked in the parking lot. Next to the parking lot was a wall, and outside the wall was an open main street.

Just then, Lingyin and Asuka walked up from the detention area downstairs side by side.

I saw that both of them were carrying large backpacks and holding an ammunition box in their hands. It was obvious that they had gone to get supplies.

"The harbor area is like a fireworks display,"

Lingyin came up and said to Raphael: "There are just too many corpses, and it stinks."

As soon as Lingyin finished speaking, before Raphael could say anything, Asuka changed the subject back to business.

"Zombies are no longer the main threat. I think Lieutenant Colonel Aitch Sumner has received news that there are traces of 'survivors' activities near the forward base."

"Could it be that the sentinels mistook you two for 'survivors' spawned in the wild?"

"No, we were with the Ranger team that came to pick us up."

Okay, Raphael raised his hand and touched his smooth chin.

To be honest, before coming to Bergen, Norway, even the whole world, both the "Beacon" and "Fire Theft" of the Heritage Management Bureau believed that the situation in Norway would be more serious than in Japan, and they all believed that there should be no living "humans" here.

But when she actually encountered survivors, and more than once, the constant flow of new insights forced her to update her data.

However, Raphael did not object to this; on the contrary, he saw it as a way to continually understand the world.

Instead, the team that came to pick them up was more worthy of attention. They came out in two M2A3 Bradley tanks, and dealt with the zombies who were extremely excited when they heard the movement of the tanks as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

Looking at the M7 SPEAR combat rifle in his hand, it’s not that this gun is bad, but the psychological gap between the two in dealing with ELID zombies is quite large.

In addition, there is always a poisonous snake hiding in the invisible shadow behind her, so no matter what decision she makes, she has to take this factor into consideration.

It was just that the fast pace of the action left her no time to think about anything else, but a shadow always loomed over her mind.

Raphael spread out the map and re-studied the movements of the semi-transformed "survivors".

She and Luhui marked the recent traces they had seen on the map in chronological order, and then discovered a very suspicious location - the University of Bergen Teaching Hospital six blocks away.

"Really... are you trying to save yourself?" Lu Hui asked himself in a low voice.

"If you want to save yourself, you won't choose to believe in a cult."

The doctrines spray-painted all over the walls and floors of the police station. It's hard to imagine that someone who would paint these things would believe in modern medicine.

The foundation of modern medicine is biological science.

These two incompatible things cannot be connected no matter how hard I try.

Lingyin smoothed the hair that fell by her ears and joked, "Could it be that they are planning to use the medical school's equipment and instruments to make human bombs?"

Asuka glanced at Lingyin and said calmly:

"Probably."

Since we have already made roadside improvised explosive devices, it is not difficult to make a few advanced human bombs.

The key to the problem is the material. Living people? Or should we "transform" the survivors who are about to turn into zombies and make them into induction self-propelled bombs.

Sensing refers to the ELID zombies' instinct to follow sounds, and the zombies themselves are themselves. It is basically no problem to use it to deal with the port camp before it receives support.

"Roadside IEDs, semi-transformed surviving humans, and the relationship between humans and zombies are definitely not good news for us."

Raphael continued, "Okay, let's go and take a look."

She picked up a pen and drew two routes on the map that could be switched at any time. Military operations in Bergen were difficult. From a global perspective, there was no place more dangerous than here.

It is extremely difficult to effectively strike against terrorists in this place.

As long as you walk in the city of Bergen, you will inevitably have frequent firefights with zombies, and there will be very little quiet time.

A good investigation and exploration mission, due to insufficient initial estimates and the deliberate delay of the humanoid team, has gradually evolved into today's awkward situation of being unable to proceed.

In order to advance, we must first eliminate the zombie tide facing the forward base, but defeating the zombie tide requires the use of knives and artillery, and zombies move around based on sound.

As the amount of ammunition launched increased, the dormant ELID mutant creatures also woke up.

It can be said that this is a vicious circle.

Only by breaking this vicious circle can we start the next stage.

It was during this period that the Frunze cruiser of the new Red Navy arrived in Norwegian waters.

The Russians came over curiously to take a look, and oh my, it was all fun, as if they had never dealt with ELID mutant creatures before.

While listening to a briefing from the U.S. Navy, the captain of the Frunze, Colonel Alexi Volkov, told his subordinates that they could begin testing the ship's armament systems.

We might as well add fuel to the fire for the Americans. If the two 130mm naval guns fire at full capacity, the effect will not be weaker than that of the two frigates with a full load displacement of only 7100 tons.

Not to mention, the MK-41 vertical launch units of the two ships cannot be loaded with Tomahawk cruise missiles and Standard-2 air defense missiles, and their actual combat effectiveness is simply terrible.

He was thinking, if the day ever came when the United States and the Soviet Union went to war, how would this frigate be able to fight against the Red Navy's destroyers.

Now, with the help of general industrial robots, the speed and capacity of shipbuilding have been greatly improved, and in two years it will be able to reach the level of equipment equivalent to that of humans.

The Americans have only two shipyards, Bath Iron Works and Kaiser Shipyard in Oregon, which has revived in recent years.

The former is being suppressed by the US Navy and is mainly staffed by traditional shipbuilders, while the latter has only two slipways in operation, apart from the ships undergoing renovation, to build the second batch of Constellation frigates.

The impact of the Japanese ruins explosion and the Salt Lake City accident was too serious, and this was their precious opportunity.

The best war window will not exceed 2050, and the most ideal time point is 2048, because at this time the industrial status of the new Soviet Union will reach its peak; while the Americans will just begin to carry out new industrial integration.

The Frunze will launch 3M-14E "Sea-based Club" cruise missiles to provide support. In exchange, the new Soviet army will send a survey force of about 100 people into the Bergen port forward base.

Of course, these are the cooperation conditions that have been announced publicly, and more detailed transaction details are unknown.

Alexei arranged the work of transporting the crew ashore in an orderly manner, and from time to time he picked up the phone to communicate with the commander of the US amphibious assault ship "Bougainville".

On the other side, the Ka-31 helicopter was sent to the take-off and landing platform by ground staff. After boarding, the crew quickly spread the wings and began the pre-takeoff inspection.

Chapter 192 Little People

Life in war is like this, with constant rumble of artillery fire, the roar of airplane rotors tearing through the air, and field rations that only provide calories and taste terrible.

Raphael took the ration pack, tore it open, and began to prepare something to eat for himself.

After daybreak, the humanoid team stopped its activities.

The next time to attack is after the sun sets in the afternoon. The dim sky and the physiological instincts of the human body are the best cover for pure natural and pollution-free.

……

Inside the port administration center building, a mine-proof vehicle was parked there, and Lieutenant Colonel Aitch Sumner walked out of the command center with a grim face.

He had been directing the battle since yesterday afternoon. According to the plan, Task Force 1-41 should have been mobilized long ago, at least before 6 a.m. yesterday.

However, because of the roar of gunfire outside, hundreds of members of the task force also joined the battle.

Half of the hundreds of tons of supplies that came down from the roll-on/roll-off cargo ship were filled in.

He walked to the car and turned to look at the gate behind him.

"Fuck!"

Everyone knows where the problem lies, but this is the level of weapons used by modern armies.

Is it possible to install sound suppressors on the M2HB heavy machine gun and MK-19 grenade launcher?

Is it possible to make the helicopter fly without making any sound?

There was also the rattling noise of the engines and running gear of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, and the storm of sound created when they opened fire.

These are the costs.

To get something, you must pay something first. This is an eternal truth.

But the zombies came too fast, so fast that the troops that were supposed to be used for the advance were forced to join the battle ahead of time.

This naturally meant that the subsequent plans were stillborn.

Coupled with the release of drones by the "Enfield" team on the field, they once again realized how bad the situation in Bergen was.

Sumner had to issue an order to terminate the plan and start defending the situation.

The US military has suspended its exploration plan, but the ELID mutants will not.

They launched attacks all day long, from morning till night, making the soldiers participating in the defensive battle miserable.

Under such circumstances, an emergency meeting was held at the Bergen Forward Base.

At the meeting, the forward base commander Lindsay requested that during the day tomorrow, some troops be drawn from the garrison to form a small team, who would take the initiative to leave the camp and create noise under the cover of M10 MPF and M2A3.

In his words, since all the ELID zombies and creatures in the city will be awakened by us, let them chase the infantry fighting vehicles and tanks after they are awakened.

These monsters, whose bodies showed signs of siliconization, were still unable to resist tanks and infantry fighting vehicles weighing tens of tons.

Then consume them and hit them while continuing to move.

This made Sumner very unhappy. He didn't come here to fight zombies.

But he had to admit that this was a good idea.

But he was unwilling to completely give up control of the troops.

A good idea does not necessarily mean it should be adopted, so Lieutenant Colonel Sumner strongly opposed the plan to divide the zombies at the meeting.

His reasoning was that after the two tank companies and the mechanized infantry company were dispersed into small teams, the forward base would be at risk of being breached as long as there were signs of weakening support from the sea.

Apart from the minimum firing distance limit of the M777 howitzer, the mortar platoon deployed on the roof is operated entirely by humans, and they will eventually get tired.

Sumner simply disagreed with this plan, which was obviously intended to disperse the defenders' strength.

Neither side could convince the other, and they even had a quarrel over it.

However, they did not let the news of their quarrel spread out. It would be a bad idea to cause panic among the people outside, so they were still sensible.

Finally, before sunset, the Icelandic command sent a telegram to sort out the command chain of the troops before the Red Navy landed in Bergen Harbor.

According to the order of the Icelandic command, Joe Lindsay was in charge of the defense of the forward base in the Bergen port area. TF 1-41 was responsible for the cover and support tasks of the outer naval "Enfield" reconnaissance team, and should also allocate personnel to participate in the battle of the forward base.

This completely explained the mission of TF 1-41 at the forward base in the port area, and clarified Lindsay's command authority.

"damn thing."

Akey Sumner opened the door and climbed in. Before the door was closed he said to the driver:

"We're going to B Company, damn, that's the kind of people the bastards are talking about."

"Yes, battalion commander."

……

The humanoid squad's main combat activities take place at night.

Most of the time during the day, they hide in inconspicuous dark corners.

At 2 p.m., Lu Hui received an encrypted communication from TF 1-41 on a special communication channel.

The content was simple and straightforward. Task force commander Sumner sent a rapid reaction force to come directly under Raphael's command.

Why do we need to encrypt and why do we need to send out the quick response convoy in advance?

After Raphael switched the channel, he sent a letter as usual to inquire about the situation of the forward base in the port area.

The communications officer at the command center had no doubts and immediately informed Raphael that the battle was fierce, but they were under control.

After the contact was cut off, Raphael's expression was very complicated, one of surprise and sadness.

This kind of thing will happen again after the humanoid team leaves the forward base and there are only humans left.

Raphael wondered how the Russians would react to this situation. He thought they would probably find it interesting.

At this time, the sound of the quick reaction force advancing was heard on the road outside.

铃音在贴在窗边窥视,由四台M2A3、两台M10 MPF和1辆10吨级军卡组成的车队正摇摇晃晃地开过来。

The M10 MPF light tanks leading the way first crushed the abandoned cars on the road, and then the M2A3 infantry fighting vehicles crushed them again.

After two rounds, the truck loaded with goods drove over smoothly from behind.
