Chapter 438 Actually, I don't want to go, I actually want to stay
Lieutenant Reich is not young anymore and has seen many young people of all kinds.
In war, he had seen many ordinary young people. They had no talent in war, so they died soon.
There are also young people like Johnny who seem to be born to go to the battlefield. They can grow rapidly on the battlefield. As for where they will go in the future, it depends not only on talent but also on luck, but luck is elusive.
But he saw a young man like Louis for the first time. Louis acted like an experienced veteran on the battlefield; he was like a madman who did not take his life seriously.
The former is obviously incompatible with his age and resume, while people in the latter situation often die quickly.
But he had to admit that soldiers like Louis would perform very well on the battlefield. If he could always remain calm and make judgments, he would be a very excellent battlefield commander.
"No matter what, take a good rest first. I don't know when we will set off again." Lieutenant Reich did not express his various ideas, and finally said that he would give Louis a good rest.
Louis nodded and watched Lieutenant Reich go to chat with someone else again - it was obvious that Lieutenant Reich knew that he could not do this job for a long time, and he could sacrifice himself on any planet at any time, so he was training as much as possible for the right successor.
In this way, when he died, the tough guys' troops could still have a reliable commander, leading these soldiers to continue walking.
Choosing a suitable successor is also considered responsible for the soldiers under your own hands. Because excellent commanders know how to lead their subordinates to survive; stupid commanders can only lead everyone to death.
Louis was not sure that Reich had regarded him as one of his possible successors, and he continued to rest quietly on the edge of the crowd without entering the tent to sleep.
He knew that the troops would soon receive new orders and had to start moving forward again.
By the way, what do you need to do in the next plot?
"The next thing is to go to the outpost code-named whiskey...Ditz and Ricci will die there." Louis turned his head and looked around and found that Deitz and Johnny were no longer in the crowd. It seemed that the two had returned to the tent and had a deeper communication.
This also means that the troops will set out again soon.
Louis drank the beer in his hand and began to sort out the various equipment he had placed at hand.
He just took off his protective gear, helmet, and by the time he put his clothes and protective gear back on his body, Ricky had already started to get the troops ready to set off.
Carry out equipment in ten minutes, assemble in twenty minutes, and set off in thirty minutes!
Because Louis was the fastest, and there was Louis among the few people who Ricky informed the first. When he saw that Louis was always in a position of fighting at any time, he asked Louis to help notify the others in the army to prepare for departure.
Then Louis discovered that Lieutenant Reich turned around in another direction, and the tent barracks seemed to need to notify him by himself.
"Unfortunate Johnny..."
Louis would not give Johnny and Diz an extra twenty minutes like Ricky. He was not the commander of this unit, and he could not change the orders at will.
So when Louis found Johnny's tent, he could only tell the two unlucky guys with a wicked smile: "Ten minutes later, the troops gathered together, you have to choose a suitable time again."
"Fake Squids, Louis!"
Dez was hiding in the quilt, but when he heard Louis's words, he knew that the other party had discovered him. After showing his head and greeting Louis with affectionateness, Dez and Johnny had no choice but to get up to sort out their own equipment.
By the time they left the tent, Louis had already circled the tents and shouted all the rest soldiers.
After the troops gathered, they set off again, and no one complained about anything. It was normal to be on the battlefield.
Walking from night to day again, after the troops entered a mountainous area, the Chief of Staff found that the communication equipment was disturbed by the environment and could not contact any troops.
"Go to the mountain to try." Lieutenant Reich asked the Chief to climb up the high ground to test the signal, but unexpectedly, a flying bug was waiting for the opportunity and suddenly came out to capture the person.
In the original plot, Lieutenant Ricky showed a cold and iron-blooded style here, and simply killed the captured "hostages", and said that if he encountered this situation, the soldiers would also kill themselves quickly.
However, with Louis this time, Lieutenant Ricky had no chance to "teach" his men. The flying insect was "locked" by Louis as soon as it emerged. He simply and used a more powerful bullet to injure the flying insect (the Rifle of the Galaxy Team has two barrels and fires two ammunition, which is equivalent to combining the assault rifle and the shotgun into a single), so that the Chief was not captured by the flying insect.
"The first unlucky guy..."
No one heard Louis's low voice to himself. Everyone just praised Louis for his quick reaction and stared at the surroundings more cautiously. No one was reckless and resigned from the large army.
Lieutenant Reich did not ask the Chief to resume contact with other troops as soon as possible, but instead asked the troops to advance carefully and waited for the Whiskey Outpost before considering the contact matter.
Everyone was very careful along the way, but they did not encounter any further attacks.
The insects seemed to have all been killed by air strikes, and the entire planet seemed very safe. Only the occasional scattered insects used the sneak attack method just now to threaten human soldiers.
"It seems that this mission will be very easy."
Diz and Reevey think this battle should be like this. Then they can go back to celebrate by killing the lonely bugs occasionally.
This idea was not changed until the troops arrived at the outpost.
The outpost, which had previously sent a distress signal, is now a scene of purgatory on earth. The broken corpses and blood stains that can be seen everywhere seem to describe to everyone how tragic battles were encountered here.
"Inspect the bodies, weapons, arrange the post; repair the communication equipment... Rick, Hunter, you two come in with me to check the interior."
In fact, there was nothing to check. The entire outpost was killed by insects, all the soldiers were killed, and only the general was still alive.
The general was not alive because of his good luck, but the bug wanted to use the general as bait to attract more human troops to this place - the ambush point that the bug selected in advance.
"So...we fell into the trap set by the bug!"
Lieutenant Reich immediately asked his men to repair the communication equipment as soon as possible and ask for help from the fleet.
The infantry trapped in the encirclement had to seek help from the fleet if they wanted to evacuate safely, hoping that the fleet would send transport planes to pick them up.
At the same time, they arranged for their subordinates to climb up to the city wall to prepare for the insects' attack.
This is not such an interesting battle. Standing on the city wall and shooting the dense insects outside in a crazy manner, it looks interesting, but if you want to really cause damage, you can only aim at the nearest insects.
Just a few people will be distributed on the entire city wall to disperse the firepower. In addition, there are also a large number of flying bugs on the bug, which poses a huge threat to the tough guy troops from the air. It is impossible to defend the outpost.
What's more, there are tank bugs that can drill in from the ground, launch attacks from the inside, and have strong defenses and can spew corrosive liquids.
No matter how you look at it, the tough guy troops are dead, especially when they learn that the tough guy troops are trapped in the outpost and are besieged by insect swarms, even the fleet is unwilling to send pilots to rescue them.
"Go to the outpost to save people? This is crazy."
"You'd better choose a crazy pilot."
After Louis completed the helping work, he did not return to the city wall - the bug was about to break through the city wall, and everyone had given up the city wall defense line and organized a new line of defense inside the outpost.
At this moment, there was a violent fluctuation in the area where Lieutenant Reich was standing. Louis knew that this was the plot of Lieutenant Reich's sacrifice. Louis, who had been waiting for a long time, pushed the commander of the troops out of the dangerous area, and when a huge pit appeared on the ground, he threw a grenade inside.
"Beware of explosions!"
Along with Louis' loud reminder, there was a dull loud noise. Although there was no actual effect, the ground calmed down. If you were lucky, the bug had been blown to death?
Lieutenant Reich turned his head and looked at the position he had just stood, then patted Louis beside him, without saying much nonsense, and continued to direct the soldiers to arrange defense lines to block the insect's advance.
The transport plane had arrived and landed at this time. Lieutenant Reich stood up and directed his men to retreat in an orderly manner and board the transport plane.
At this time, another huge tank bug appeared and directly collapsed the solid city wall and rushed into the outpost.
"Diz, grenade!" Louis jumped up and signaled to Diz to give him the grenade. The grenade on his body had been used up, and Diz's movement was also very fast. He immediately took the grenade from his waist and handed it to Louis's hand.
It was because of this choice that Diz lacked the chance to make meritorious service, but he also avoided the misfortune of being killed - this unlucky girl killed the tank worm with a grenade, so excited that she completely ignored the occasion and did not pay attention to the surrounding situation... Well, she was killed by the plot.
Although Louis stole the credit, Diz did not lose his vigilance. He always kept the firepower output in the face of the insects, and slowly retreated, and finally successfully boarded the transport plane.
"Louis! Come up!"
Now only Louis, who had just killed the tank bug, and a few soldiers, did not board the transport plane, were left. Diz and Johnny were shouting Louis's name.
When Louis used his rifle to shoot and retreat, the ground suddenly vibrated again, and then a large pit appeared on the flat ground again, and Louis disappeared from everyone's eyes.
