Chapter 21: Screw the Title

  The battle has ended. The remnants of the Allied forces were swept away by the assault team and the Baralayka squad, annihilating an entire airborne regiment in one go. A large number of weapons were seized, but unfortunately, ammunition was extremely scarce. The British weren't stupid either, detonating the ammunition box at the command center before their death.

  But that's not a big problem, fortunately, there are still plenty of bullets left in the weapons carried by Xiao Bingjia this time. After allocating and saving a little, they can still hold on. The only thing that surprised Xiao Bingjia was that when he finally checked the battlefield, he found an artillery shell box. When he opened it, it was filled with shells, almost scaring the soldier who found it to death.

  Xiao Bing Jia was also very excited at first, but when he took a closer look, he was greatly disappointed. This thing is actually the kind of shell used by 120mm or larger caliber howitzers! The few grenade launchers he carried on him were not even compatible with it, and shells without a launching device were basically useless.

  But anyway, why did this big-nosed British guy bring this completely useless thing, I guess only Carlos himself knows.

  Ordering his men to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded, Xiao Bing's armor was idle with nothing to do, squatting on a pile of stones smoking a cigarette and feeling suffocated.

  Bara Leka walked over with a crunch of gravel, sat down unceremoniously beside Xiao Bing Jia, and stretched out his left hand: "Give me one."

  Xiao Bing glanced at her and then reluctantly pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his shirt pocket, lit one and handed it to her.

  The "Camel" brand is quite expensive~

  "Next."

  Baralaika took the cigarette and borrowed a light from the fire pit beside her. Then she started puffing out clouds of smoke. To be honest, Xiaobing Jia had never seen a woman smoking in his life, and looking at Baralaika's smoking posture, it seemed like she wasn't just doing it for one or two days. Her proficiency was even elegant.

  "Can't believe this big girl is a seasoned smoker ~~"

  "Hey, Comrade Balalaika, I have a question." Xiao Bing suddenly spoke up.

  "Hmm?" replied Baralaeka with half-closed eyes.

  "How many more of our comrades are surrounded on this island?" Xiao Bing asked solemnly.

  "Hmm..." Baralaike pinched the cigarette in his hand, thinking for a moment before responding: "If other units have encountered enemies like the ones I've faced, there might be around 600 people left." He added: "But it's not certain, after all, we can't confirm how many reinforcements the Allies have sent this time."

  "This is going to be tough! " Xiao Bingjia's eyebrows furrowed, if there weren't so many people, he could have easily led the crowd out of the alleys and streets of Beit Street. But looking at the situation now, it's not a swift and fierce assault team that needs to be led, but a motley crew with uneven combat strength! If they can't even find them and integrate them into the troops, not only will their combat strength not increase, but it will actually decrease, which would be tragic. With so many people, it's easy to get discovered during movement, and if the enemy concentrates their forces and traps us in one place, making it impossible for us to advance or retreat, and then drops a few bombs from above, that's game over...

  The number of people is too small to form a fighting force, and the number of people is too large to easily expose the target. This contradictory problem has made Xiao Bingjia's head full of black lines. The ideal number is 300, but now it seems that reality and ideals are far apart~~

  Looking at Xiao Bing's worried face, Baralaeka thought he was worried about the upcoming battle. So she comforted him: "Comrade Major, you don't have to worry about rescuing your comrades next, I know their exact location."

  He knew nothing! Xiaobing cursed in his heart.

  But...

  "Wait, what did she just say?! Does she know the location of other trapped people?!"

  Xiao Bing's heart was filled with joy, thinking that if he had known the exact location of their allies beforehand, there would have been no need to worry about bringing too many people. Previously, he was afraid of exposing themselves by bringing too many people and not knowing whether they would encounter enemy troops on the way. Now that they knew the exact position of their allies, they could try to avoid the allied forces and rescue their companions as much as possible. Although the risk was still great, it was safer than blindly searching around.

  Xiao Bing Jia, who was just getting excited, suddenly remembered something. He turned his head and asked Bara Leyi: "By the way, how did you know their location?"

  Barala scratched his head and said somewhat embarrassedly: "Actually I only knew through the telegraph."

  "Radio transmitter!" Xiao Bing Jia's eyes suddenly lit up with excitement, this is a great thing! As long as they can contact those troops, not to mention helping them escape, but even grabbing the opportunity to take down several small teams or even companies of the Allied forces is possible! In his haste, Xiao Bing Jia exclaimed without regard for his image "Where is it? Where is that radio transmitter?"

  Xiao Bing's brain suddenly became hot and he rudely grabbed Balalaika's shoulder.

  Baralaeka didn't seem to mind, she said with a bit of a whine: "Uh... although I understand how you feel. But that transmitter was blown up by me during my desperate breakout before..."

  "What the hell are you talking about!" Xiao Bingjia cursed loudly in his heart.

  "Never mind, then tell me when was the last time you communicated with them?" Xiao Bingjia sighed.

  "Two hours ago." Baralaike said with certainty.

  2 hours ago, although there is some deviation from the time mentioned by Baralaike, it can be basically determined that the remaining troops have not been annihilated within 2 hours.

  I hope so... Xiaobing Jia comforted himself.

  As long as it's not total annihilation!

  After understanding, Xiao Bingjia chatted with Baralaika about some details of the battle that day. Among them, the communication tower that was worthy of being called the final victory of the Allied Forces was even more surprising to Xiao Bingjia!

  "What the...?! What is this?! Is this Lelouch's reincarnation?! How much of a knockoff is your mom?! Brother told me that the commander of the Allied Forces is also a transmigrator?!" Xiaobing cursed mercilessly.

  At this time, Ajinante suddenly ran towards Xiao Bingjia with a heavy face, and when he arrived in front of him, Ajinante didn't even have time to salute before reporting: "Commander! Our small radar has suddenly detected that 5 kilometers northeast there is an armored force with an identity mark that does not belong to our army rapidly advancing towards here! Please instruct!"

  "So fast!" Xiao Bing Jia exclaimed in surprise. There was no need to think about it, who else could march into the UK mainland from the road except for the Allies themselves?

  "How many are there!?" asked Baralaika, who at this moment couldn't afford to dawdle even if military affairs were involved.

  "Aji recalled for a moment before speaking: 'Roughly around a thousand troops!'"

  "Hiss~~~" Everyone took a deep breath. Now big trouble has come! Originally, with fewer people, Xiao Bing Jia and his men could still ambush, but now they have brought an army of about 3000 soldiers, which is not a joke. In this place, ambushing such a large army that clearly has the upper hand would be suicidal.

  "Hurry up and get your troops in order! You have only 2 minutes!" Xiao Bing Jia ordered immediately.

  "Yes!"

  Alas, plans can't keep up with changes! Although I had expected the Allied forces to send reinforcements, I didn't expect a whole regiment to arrive all at once. This is truly beyond Xiao Bingjia's expectations.

  Alright, Kukov had just withdrawn his troops for less than a day when the Allied forces dared to come and reinforce, aren't they afraid that Kukov would launch a surprise counterattack?

  But now it seems that the commander of the Allied forces is really bold! If his plan were to be implemented, it's possible that Xiao Bing would be forced into a desperate situation.

  After 2 minutes, the battlefield was cleared. Most of the lightly wounded soldiers had received effective treatment and could immediately recover their combat effectiveness with just one more gun. However, unfortunately, several soldiers were still unable to receive effective treatment due to severe injuries and sacrificed. What's more troublesome is that a few wounded soldiers did not suffer any physical harm on their bodies, but unfortunately lost both feet in the melee.

  Trouble has come all at once, it's impossible to abandon these warriors. However, they have lost their ability to act at this moment, and their actions are now completely dependent on the support of the physically fit warriors beside them. This may ruin Xiaobing Jia's plan for a light march due to these few burdens.

  How annoying...

  Tonight is completely out of state, depressed...
