The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 434 - 427: Never See Again

An armored vehicle rolled over the body of Zapolov, and when the infantry passed by, all they could see was the deformed Zapolov, unable to distinguish from his clothing whether this Ura-shouting suicide attacker was a compatriot or not.

The Soviet-style flood of steel, the Soviet-style flesh and blood.

It was a war at the end of days, fought with outdated methods.

Gao Yuan didn’t know what had happened, but Sirte suddenly flew into a rage. He bellowed into the radio, "Who told you to go up, who told you to go up? We’re not dead yet!"

Sirte, who was used to the sight of life and death and cared for nothing, was now like a cat with its tail stepped on. He said to Klaus, "I absolutely don’t want to watch Russian dogs shouting Ura and going to their deaths in front of me. They don’t understand battle at all, they just blindly shout Ura, Ura."

Klaus coldly said, "Calm down!"

Sirte shook his head, then snarled fiercely, "I am very calm. Just watch me now!"

While they were speaking, Ashraf destroyed an armored vehicle with a rocket fired from the side.

The enemy infantry began to establish firing positions on the spot, tanks continued to advance forward, and assault vehicles started attempting to flank from both sides.

In terms of a fire reconnaissance and probing attack, the enemy’s actions were very successful. They paid a heavy price but attained everything that a probing attack could achieve.

Another member from the 12th squad crawled forward. No one heeded Sirte’s shouting. A soldier lay in the bushes, and as a tank passed in front of him, he affixed a grenade to the side of the tank. To do so, however, he had to stand up, and as soon as he stood, he was instantly shot dead by the enemy’s stray bullets.

That was the advantage of infantry-tank co-operation: tanks covered the infantry, and the infantry protected the tanks. Without infantry, that suicidal anti-tank grenadier might not have died.

Determined attack, fierce and fearless defense.

Sirte’s nerves were struck. His eyes red, he said to Klaus, "Those damn Russians didn’t say they had anti-tank grenades! Who still uses anti-tank grenades these days, who?!"

Klaus whispered, "It’s our turn, time for the can opener."

Sirte shouted, "I’ll do it!"

Just as Sirte finished speaking, the last tank he had been eyeing suddenly exploded, its turret blasted skywards.

Then, one after another, armored vehicles behind the tank were hit, and at the same time at least three armored vehicles were struck and caught fire.

Large caliber machine guns fired at the ground..., no, that wasn’t machine gun fire, that was the effect of an anti-aircraft gun shooting.

One after another, the enemy was hit, armored vehicles were hit, and anything struck by the anti-aircraft gun instantly lost all mobility, whether they were man or vehicle.

Sirte turned around abruptly. He saw a pickup truck emerge from behind his position, and in its bed, a zu-23-2 anti-aircraft gun was firing fiercely at the enemy.

Reinforcements had arrived.

The reinforcements came quickly.

The enemy had assault vehicles, the enemy had armored cars, but did that mean the Solar System Company didn’t?

For a moment, Sirte was stunned, holding the fake bomb in his hand, he knew it would no longer be needed.

Another pickup truck appeared, followed by an armored vehicle, the second armored vehicle, two wheeled armored vehicles quickly drove out from the edge of the forest in the rear.

Zapolov’s radio could contact his comrades, but Spark Squad’s radios could not, due to different frequencies, so even though reinforcements were arriving, they were unaware.

But the reinforcements indeed had arrived.

Gao Yuan, who had just taken out the second assault vehicle, also stopped. The moment he saw the wheeled armored vehicle, tears suddenly streamed down his face.

It was a subconscious reaction born of desperation.

Gao Yuan hoped for more armored vehicles and cars to appear, but there were none. There were only two armored vehicles and four armed pickup trucks.

One of the pickups stopped, and a Shenzhou person in camouflage uniform appeared on the battlefield.

The outcome of the battle had already been determined, but all of the enemy’s tanks and armored vehicles had been destroyed. The enemy infantry, lacking heavy firepower, either stayed with their vehicles or awaited slaughter.

"Who is Nemesis!"

The man in camouflage shouted, then he switched to English and bellowed, "Who is Nemesis!"

Gao Yuan immediately ran over and shouted, "I am!"

The man in camouflage sized up Gao Yuan, then extended his hand in a salute and said solemnly, "Armored Reconnaissance Company Captain He Yingjie, Uranus Army Armored Regiment, at your service."

Gao Yuan exhaled, stood at attention, gave a proper salute, and then said with a trembling voice, "Spark Squad Captain Gao Yuan of the Shenzhou Expeditionary Army, thank you for your support."

He Yingjie extended his hand and clasped it with Gao Yuan’s, then said with a heavy voice, "Thank you for your hard work. Please hold out for another half hour. Our rapid-response forces will arrive shortly."

Gao Yuan was taken aback and asked, "Can’t we retreat?"

He Yingjie nodded slightly, then spoke softly, "The enemy has essentially completed encircling this area; we cannot evacuate at the moment. I know you have many wounded who urgently need treatment, but we currently lack sufficient medical personnel. My order is to hold out for at least half an hour until our rapid-response forces arrive. So please, hold on for that half hour."

After finishing, He Yingjie released Gao Yuan’s hand. He looked at Gao Yuan with a face full of emotion and said, "It’s good to see you. I’m really glad."

Gao Yuan saw that He Yingjie appeared very urgent, filled with that serene sense of one about to nobly face death.

Gao Yuan detested this sense of serenity, hated it intensely, because whether it was Wang Hu or Zhou Shaoqiang, whenever any of them had this serene look, it meant someone would die.

"What are you going to do? What are all of you going to do?"

He Yingjie smiled faintly and said, "I know what the Sanitation Worker will be doing next. We must hold the line; this is my mission. Also, one more thing."

He Yingjie licked his lips, his face full of emotion as he said, "Seeing someone from back home, let’s reintroduce ourselves. Otherwise, it always feels like something is missing."

He Yingjie saluted Gao Yuan again and said, "Former captain of the Shenzhou Army 14187th Composite Brigade’s Armored Reconnaissance Company, Captain He Yingjie. It’s a pleasure to meet you."

Gao Yuan also stood at attention again, then saluted back and said loudly, "Reporting to the commander, I am Gao Yuan, a soldier of the original 33258th Composite Brigade, now formally named under the direct command of the Fierce Tiger Brigade’s Da Hong Third Company. Nice to meet you, commander."

He Yingjie laughed, his rank was that of a captain, but he had already retired, while Gao Yuan was the captain of the Spark Squad. However, strictly speaking, he did not have a military rank, so he held a high position but a low rank.

He Yingjie reached out and clasped hands with Gao Yuan again, then they gently embraced and He Yingjie lightly patted Gao Yuan’s back and said, "Don’t call me commander, it’s not appropriate. Comrade, greetings."

Gao Yuan was moved, he said urgently, "Greetings, comrade Captain. We..."

He Yingjie smiled at Gao Yuan and said, "Regardless of the situation, just hold out for half an hour. Support will definitely arrive. Goodbye."

Even though they were right in front of each other and would not part, why say goodbye.

Because sometimes goodbye is the last goodbye.
