“Headquarters, this is the third squad responsible for the suppression of Old City Philadelphia. I am Captain Robert, right now the entire Old City has been in our control. The local police have also arrested of the gunmen. What should we do next? We ask headquarters for a new instruction.”
“This is the headquarters, I am the correspondent on duty. You’ve worked hard Captain Robert. Now I will transmit Lieutenant General Matt’s latest order. He asks you to assist the local the local police in maintaining order in the Old City, implement an uninterrupted patrol, and eliminate the dangerous people with guns who loot other people.”
“I understand, I will carry out the instruction.” After hanging up the phone, the Captain directed his team to help the police maintain the law and order.
On the other hand, after giving out the order, the correspondent’s trembling hand took off his headphone.
“Tie his hands.” The man in black who pointed a gun at him said to the other man in black next to him.
That man in black immediately handcuffed the correspondent’s hands behind the chair.
“Who are you really? Do you know what you are doing now….” Before he finished, the man in black has taped his mouth with plastic seal.
The man in black with a gun said to the other two correspondents who were similarly tied in a chair and mouth sealed up: “Don’t play any tricks, I don’t mind killing the two of you. Because one should be enough.”
Knowing that these people were cold-blooded, the several correspondents’ eyes were filled with horror. They still can’t believe that the entire military base was actually occupied.
Because of the riots in Philadelphia tonight, all the combatants in the base took up their weapons and went to assist the suppression. They lacked both, the manpower and firepower to fight back. But also because things happened so suddenly and they were surrounded by darkness, thus they were beaten from the start.
By contrast, those men in black carried a lot of fire powers, many of them have rocket launchers, which they fired directly at the base. They also have grenades and machine guns. The battle was lopsided from the start.
In less than ten minutes, hundreds of black-clad men have used their overwhelming firepower to break through the military base second level basement. The rest of the men in black stayed outside to prevent people from fleeing to look for help, or go into hiding and escaped unpunished.
The usually dignified face of the Lieutenant General was now covered with dust and looked awkward. In this narrow environment, a good commander displayed his capability by using two submachine guns simultaneously. If he did not see it himself, he would not know that the enemy could be this fierce. Their wave after wave of powerful attacks prevented them from catching a breath. Their more than two hundred soldiers were now less than sixty.
By this time, he knew that they have basically lost. If he continued to resist any longer it would only add unnecessary casualties.
But he dared not ordered the surrender. Because he knew how important are the things at the lowest level.
If these people took them away, the consequence would be something that he cannot possibly bear.
“General, we can hold them off for the time being, please give the order to withdraw.” An embarrassed aide loudly said.
“Very well, immediately withdraw to the lower level.” Without any other choice, the General had to nod.
Thus, the surviving fifty people made a suppressing fire as they took turns to withdraw to the third level.
The third layer was much spacious than the layers above it, and it also has an independent power generator system. Therefore, this was the only place that still has light. After entering the electronic door, without the being ordered, the adjutant immediately operated the access control to close the door.
After seeing the huge metal gate slowly went down, the Lieutenant General slightly relieved.
“General Matt, what’s going on out there? Is there a fire?” At this time, some people around 40 to 60 years of age in white lab gowns came over and asked in surprised.
“Dr. Seth, our base is under attack by some unknown men in black, they are forcing their way here.” General Matt said to the old man at the front.
“What? Isn’t this a military base? How could such a thing happen here?” Those few people could not help but alarmed.
General Matt wryly smiled, he also hoped that this was just a nightmare. In here, in addition to waiting for the reinforcement, there was nothing they can do, they have nowhere else to go. He had fought in Vietnam War, but even in such a brutal war, he has never been in such a passive situation like this.
“General Matt, who are they?” Seth continued to ask.
“I don’t know. What I do know is that they are a group of heavily armed men dressed in black. Unfortunately, our people went to Philadelphia to suppress the riots there. Otherwise, we would not be in this situation.” The Lieutenant General was even more certain that these riots have something to do with those men in black.
“General, they seemed to have stopped firing.” The adjutant came over and said.
“What are they trying to do?” The Lieutenant General frowned.
The adjutant said with a pale face: “Perhaps they want to explode the way in.”
Dr. Seth and the others suddenly went pale.
