Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 1094 Sleepless in Seattle
"I object. I have reservations about your order. We are soldiers, not executioners. We are fighting, not slaughtering." The staff officer's voice was a little hoarse, showing that he was rarely really angry.

"Because I am a soldier, I will do this. I will not let my brothers be harmed by these so-called civilians. Even if they are civilians, they have to pay for what they have done. The life of each of my brothers, They must pay with a hundred lives. I respect your right to reserve opinions, but you must also respect my command of the battle. Repeat the order, prepare the artillery, tell the rocket battalion, and attack with you." Turning and staring at the tall buildings in front of him, Ma Zhanyuan ordered again.

Seeing that the staff was speechless, and no one had any doubts about the order, especially when they saw the rare seriousness and sternness on Ma Zhanyuan's face, everyone did not hesitate and quickly conveyed the order.

A self-propelled artillery quickly changed its shape under the order. The thick and long barrels were raised high, like rows of javelins, waiting for the call of the order. Behind them, what was even more frightening was a box of guns. With the launch of the 300mm rocket launcher, everyone, including the artillery commander, was surprised that the commander's order was obviously a bit too crazy. Applying this blocking weapon originally used in field battles to the city, except for the word massacre, there is obviously no There are other words to describe this crazy action.

After the preparations were completed, the long-lost firing sound from the communicator finally came slowly. At the same time as the order was issued, the silence was instantly broken, and with the roar, the entire position was suddenly plunged into a pervasive smoke.The entire artillery position seemed to be placed in a huge bumpy carriage, and with the continuous firing sound, the whole earth trembled.

Even on a clear day, the bright trajectory drawn by the cannonball can be clearly displayed. After the dazzling white light draws arcs in the sky, it finally points to the high-rise downtown Seattle in the distance.

The first explosion came from the city a few seconds later, and a thick puff of smoke and dust slowly rose from the city, but before the smoke and dust could outline its own shape, there were continuous explosions one after another. came.The Viper rocket, a weapon that shouldn't be used in the city, is unscrupulously displaying its powerful and incomparable power in the narrow streets and high-rise buildings in the city at this moment. At the same time, high-pressure gas gushed out from the ruptured bomb, covering the entire space at a speed of several kilometers per second, and all objects covered by this gas instantly turned into a mass of ruins.

No one was agile enough to dodge this fierce attack, and no one was even able to react. The sudden artillery fire made everyone lose their lives, explosions, sounds, fragments, rubble, all before they could taste the joy. Everything has become a murder weapon that can deprive people of life, and in the entire area, all corners have become dead places full of death.

The people hidden in the building were thrown high out of the bunker and flew into the air under the tyrannical force comparable to a cosmic gale.No one knows how these people feel now. The continuous artillery fire makes it almost impossible for them to fall to the ground. In the gunpowder smoke, the fragile shell of the human body is continuously divided by the violent explosion, turning into bloody lumps fragments, which in turn turned into minced meat and rain of blood.

The building was shaking, the ground was shaking, and the whole of Seattle was shaking. The artillery fire fell from a distance endlessly, as if shooting targets, and it repeated continuously, covering the small open space. In this crowded open space, the smoke and dust seemed to be They couldn't stand, and rushed to the sky, and finally merged into a huge mushroom cloud.

Outside the city, in front of this spectacular scene, everyone shut their mouths knowingly and chose to wait and see, watching the smoke rising from the city, the grief and indignation caused by the sacrifice of their companions gradually calmed down, and When everyone hesitantly turned their eyes to the commander beside him, Ma Zhanyuan suddenly spoke again. "Tell the artillery to make another base number." Ma Zhanyuan pursed his lips and watched the gunpowder smoke and explosion ahead, and ordered again.

"How is Seattle?" Clark asked with concern, rubbing his sore temples and straightening up tiredly.

"The news just came that there has been an exchange of fire with the enemy. At present, most of the urban area is still under our control." The staff officer beside him replied immediately.

"I hope they can persist for a little longer. You know, what we need most now is time. Even if you persist for a second, it will buy us another second of hope." Clark nodded slowly and continued. .

"But your Excellency, there are nearly hundreds of thousands of civilians, and the enemy is likely to attack them." Hearing Clark's words, the staff officer reminded worriedly.

"How the enemy is their business, we can't control it, what we have to do is to do our best to do our best. It is the duty of each of our citizens to defend the country. I think, from the moment everyone takes up arms, I also understand this truth." Clark waved his hand to stop the other party's words, and said firmly.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Clark's seemingly plain words seemed to let the staff see the future of Seattle. After sighing lightly, he turned and walked out.

"Issuing a war mobilization order, tell our people that we need soldiers now, regardless of men, women, or children!" Clark's voice came from behind again just as he walked to the door.

The artillery group didn't stop reluctantly until after the last shell was fired. The hot barrel exuded a scorching aura, like a general in anger, making it difficult for people to approach.

The real-time pictures from the overhead satellite show that in downtown Seattle, there is an irregular circle between the originally flat and orderly buildings.The circle shows strange light spots on the Doppler radar, and only on the optical photos, people will clearly find that it is a ruin made of rubble, which of course does not exist.

"The first regiment and the second regiment are in battle order, entering the artillery coverage point." Even if the staff officer didn't say anything, Ma Zhanyuan knew that there was no life in the ruins on the map at this moment. People can survive, even keep their bodies intact.Regarding the "masterpiece" created by himself, Ma Zhanyuan did not produce any fluctuations. To him, it seemed that he had just done an extremely ordinary thing.

With the order issued, the roar of the vehicle's engine immediately sounded around Seattle. The first group and the second group ambushed on the two wings were like a group of wild horses that could not rein in, struggling in the stables, eagerly waiting for the gate to open. That moment.In the calm air, there was a strong smell of diesel immediately.

After simple coordination, the vehicles drove towards the center of Seattle in file. After experiencing the previous incident, everyone calmed down and looked around nervously.In the city, the less popular houses looked so deserted and dilapidated. Under the vigilance of the rotating turret, it seemed that no one dared to challenge the two armored troops in front of them.

When the tank group entered the previously opened space without any risk, everyone finally understood the powerful power of the artillery from the scene. In front of them, the originally tall buildings have now become pieces of low broken walls. , it is difficult to find objects with a diameter of more than one meter in the surrounding area. Among the rubble, all kinds of wreckage are evenly scattered on it. If you look around, you can find human bones and broken weapons everywhere.

"Circular defense!" Just as everyone was sighing at the fierce artillery fire, Ma Zhanyuan's order came again from the communicator. Hearing his order, the tanks in the convoy turned their muzzles one after another, formed a circle, and put the armored Weak infantry fighting vehicles surrounded it.

"In the next 24 hours, you will rely on this open space to defend against the enemy's attack. The loss may be great, but without my order, no one is allowed to retreat." On the radio, Ma Zhanyuan emphasized again, although he felt a little bit about the mission. It was inexplicable, but hearing the serious tone of the commander, everyone cheered up and nodded silently.

On the outskirts of Seattle, putting down the binoculars in his hand, Ma Zhanyuan lowered his head and got back into his command vehicle. The staff officers present did not raise any doubts about his temporary arrangement of tactics that seemed out of order and could even be described as nonsense. Everyone seemed to know that Ma Zhanyuan would explain why he did what he did next, and everyone was waiting quietly at this moment.

"Don't the Yankees like to surround the spot to fight for aid? Then I'll put a spot for them to fight!" Ma Zhanyuan murmured, looking down at the map of Seattle in front of him.

"Seattle is probably a tough nut to crack. The enemy is shrinking their troops on the surface, but in fact they are all soldiers. They want to play people's war with us." On the electronic screen, maps of the front line came one after another. Looking at the map in front of him, Zhu Peide, Chief of Staff of the Longwei Army, said worriedly.

"It's difficult to chew. We have to learn to adapt. The enemy is qualified and necessary to play the game of people's war. If we want to win the war, we must face all this. The reason why we sent Ma Zhanyuan's troops , It is that they need to sum up their combat experience first, so as to prepare for another Seattle in the future." Nodding and saying.

"It's not easy. All the people are soldiers. The agents in the United States sent back news that the enemy even dismantled the gas pipes and processed them into gun barrels. Ma Zhanyuan may not be facing a group of soldiers, but a group of civilians with weapons in their hands. It's hard to decide between choices, and if it's not done well, it's a crime against humanity." Zhu Peide looked at the people around him, and hesitantly expressed his scruples.
