"Sir, we're almost there!" In one of the Humvees that opened the road, the machine-gun truck shouted loudly in the communication channels, and not only Major Carter, but everyone heard, "Turn that corner and you can see it!" I've been here before, so I'm pretty familiar with it! ”

"We all know that, that's why you're here to lead the way!" Carter also said in the communication channel, "Now everyone is on guard again! It cannot be ruled out that we will fight the enemy there! If you want to go home alive, be more careful! ”

"Yes, sir!" All the soldiers roared. Although most of them were new recruits, or even just came out of the training ground, the idea of defending their homeland still made them more brave in battle, although this also brought a lot of unnecessary casualties.

When the unit turned the corner, they were relieved to see three police cars parked in front of the air defense facility, and several policemen were also waving to them. After all, the police here are still there, and with the enemy's habit of fighting indiscriminately in black and white, if something happens, then these policemen are already finished, and their role is only to serve as a warning.

The convoy stopped at the entrance of the facility, and with his own personnel on guard, Major Carter jumped out of his tank and met the police.

"Nothing happened to you here, did you?" Carter asked, then looked around, well, very calm.

"It's okay, we contacted the inside a minute ago, and everyone is fine." The policeman who answered him pointed to the air defense facility, "When will we start evacuating?" ”

"Right now." Major Carter said, waving his hand to his subordinates behind him, "Lieutenant, you immediately bring people in and bring all the civilians out, pay attention to maintaining order, the vehicle seats are limited, the personnel need to be transferred in batches, women, the elderly and children are given priority." Also, check that civilians are not allowed to carry weapons. I don't want our people to be hurt by them because of their panic. ”

"Yes, sir." The lieutenant who received the order gave a military salute and led the people away.

Then Major Carter looked at the policemen and said, "I'm sorry you have to wait a while. I need you to stay here and help us calm the emotions of the civilians, and when the transfer is complete, you will leave with us. ”

"No problem, sir." The officers looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Then they scattered at the doorway, waiting for the soldiers to take the civilians out of the air defenses.

Soon, the first civilians who needed to be evacuated walked out under the escort of the soldiers.

Looking at the civilians whose faces were still full of fear and panic, Major Carter breathed a sigh of relief, at least they had the time. He had received information from Colonel Coles, which was still a secret, that civilians in the occupied areas had been massacred for no apparent reason, but that he could not tell anyone else about it now. He was the only one in this force who knew all this.

"Arrange for everyone to get on the bus quickly, set off when it is full, and then return immediately after the empty car." Major Carter waved his hand to everyone, pointed to the transport vehicles parked nearby, took a megaphone and repeated to the civilians, "Please pay attention, the transport vehicles are limited, all personnel need to be transferred in batches, women, the elderly, and children are given priority!" Also, weapons are not allowed. The military will be escorting along the road! ”

At the same time that Major Carter repeated the shouts to the civilians, the soldiers also stopped the wall and began to arrange for the civilians to board the buses in the order of the old, the weak, the women and the children.

After shouting for a while with the megaphone, Major Carter tossed the megaphone to one of his subordinates. Let him continue to shout, and he walked to the bus and truck to check the progress of the crowd boarding the bus.

"Sir, more than 100 people have boarded the bus after inspection." Seeing Carter approaching, one of the lieutenants in charge of the inventory first saluted him, and then reported with the registration board in his hand. "With more than 400 people, the first batch of convoys can set off."

"How much more time?" Carter asked, "There are about 3,000 civilians here, and we can only take about 600 people on each trip, so we have to make five trips back and forth." So now I need to know the actual amount of time we're going to spend on each trip. ”

"It is estimated that it will take half an hour just to board the bus after the inspection, and this is not counting the time it takes to leave here and get on the road to the resettlement area." The lieutenant replied, "This is because we have just ended the civil war, and everyone still remembers this evacuation vividly, and the command is more obedient, otherwise it would have been longer." ”

"Faster." Carter frowned and said with some anxiety, "Although this is our control area, we haven't really been able to fully control it after all, if the enemy rushes through the defense line from somewhere, those civilians will be live targets." ”

"I can only do my best, sir." The lieutenant said with some headaches, "We are understaffed everywhere, and it will cost nearly half of our manpower to maintain order here, and when the convoy leaves, we will have to arrange half of the men to escort it, and this manpower will be even more insufficient." ”

"No way, the transfer of civilians is not only ours here, but also other places are going on at the same time, and they also need manpower." Major Carter was also at a loss for manpower, and he could only comfort, "Our second regiment in Fogg Town has already departed, and they will be here in an hour soon, but that is when we will carry out a second counteroffensive." We had to evacuate all the civilians out of the city as much as possible before then, otherwise we would have to let the second regiment assist us, which would affect the time of the counterattack. ”

"But sir, there aren't enough people, we can't be in an hour...... No, we can't get people out in two hours. "Unless I am given twice as many transport vehicles and three times as many men, the Second Regiment will certainly not be able to enter the battle until we have transferred our personnel." ”

"Okay." Major Carter knew very well that the lieutenant was right, so he could only agree, "I'll go talk to the colonel and see how many people and cars he can squeeze out there." If it really doesn't work, I can only advise the colonel to go and ask the mercenaries for help. ”

"Those Iron Eagles?" The lieutenant looked surprised, "Sir, until now, you still think they are just mercenaries?" I think their combat effectiveness is already as strong as that of the people of country M! Can this still be called a mercenary? I think they should be the secret troops of some great power! For example, country E, country Z and so on! ”

Major Carter patted the lieutenant on the shoulder and whispered, "There are some things that everyone knows, and everyone doesn't look good when they say it." As long as there is no sufficient proof to clarify their identity, and they themselves do not say which country they belong to, we can only assume that they are mercenaries! Do you understand? ”

“…… Understood, sir. After a pause, the lieutenant replied with some sorrow, lamenting how weak his country was compared to those behemoths.

"Don't think about it so much, hurry up and get to work, after all, this is still our motherland, and the people here are still our compatriots. At least we are still fighting for our homeland and our compatriots. Major Carter patted the young subordinate, shook his head, and walked towards his command car.

But he hadn't taken a few steps before he stopped, and at the end of the street, a large number of figures loomed in the light.

"What's that?" He ran briskly to the perimeter cordon, and picked up the binoculars in his hand.

"Sir." Seeing Carter coming, the soldiers on the guard post nodded to him as a salute, and said, "It doesn't look like those strange mechanical enemies." ”

Carter looked at it with a telescope, and then said: "It's a kilometer away from us, but the smoke over there is too thick, and the sky is very dark, although there are lights, I still can't see clearly here, so I have to send someone to take a look." ”

"Civilians, possibly?" The sentry said, "Civilians coming from somewhere else and want to evacuate together? This is not a small possibility. ”

"Send someone to take a look." Carter beckoned behind him, and a group of soldiers walked over, "Go and see, drive over." Be careful, there may be an ambush, not just those people, but also on the road. ”

"Yes, sir." (To be continued.) )
