Chapter 29: Absolutely Cannot Fall Behind

  PS1: I just finished downloading Mission 4, I really want to sneak in and play the game all night.

  PS2: I found myself falling in love with black stockings...

  PS3: Does anyone know what gun this is? It was made by a classmate of Xia's.

  Gentlemen, you must have heard this phrase before, right?

  Heaven will never give you a free sesame seed cake!

  Of course, it won't fall down from the sky and land a soft girl (not written by this author).

  But however

  Have you ever seen a helicopter falling from the sky to the ground? And it's even a Black Hawk armed helicopter - UH-60L type!

  A steel behemoth enveloped in flames, from tens of thousands of meters high, like a meteor slashing through the darkness, or a cold scythe wielded by the god of death, charged towards the vast earth with an unstoppable posture.

  BOOM!!!!! A deafening explosion shook the sky!!!

  Under the constraint of gravity, the fireball inevitably crashed into the ground. The mud and sand splashed out by the collision were thrown into the air hundreds of meters high, and the debris mixed with steel fragments flew in all directions, filling the surrounding area with smoke and dust, as if the end of the world had arrived, shocking the heart. The scene was magnificent!

  At 100 meters from the helicopter crash site, over a thousand soldiers wearing Soviet military uniforms stared blankly at the dust in front of them.

  Xiao Bingjia felt as if his heart had been brutally pinched by a pair of pliers, and his pupils suddenly constricted.

  Damn it! Kukov really wants to kill me!

  Although I had such a guess in my heart, when I really saw the skill 'Orbital Collapse' with my own eyes, there was still an inevitable bitterness in my heart.

  It seems like I've gotten myself into quite a bit of trouble this time...

  Looking around at the soldiers, they also looked like they had been scared silly. Obviously, the terrifying image from just now had deeply shocked them.

  This won't do! What's the point of wasting more time here?

  Xiao Bing's palm slapped onto a soldier's helmet, and he shouted at him in a stern voice: "Don't look! Don't stop! Keep moving forward!"

  The soldiers were still uneasy in their hearts, but since the order had been given by their superiors. Those soldiers swallowed a mouthful of saliva and turned around to continue advancing forward.

  By the way, at this moment, Xiao Bing Jia's adopted marching method is not the normal S-shaped marching method, but instead a straight dragon rushing towards the outer sea of Brighton. In fact, when marching in open plains, there are certain rules to follow, especially when the enemy has air superiority, marching absolutely cannot be done in a straight line, but only in an "S" shaped route.

  The principle is simple. If you move in a straight line, the enemy planes only need to follow your column and shoot forward, and the number of casualties will be staggering.

  And if you fly an "S" shaped course, the threat from enemy aircraft will be much less.

  But at this moment, in order to rush for time, Xiao Bingjia couldn't care about these anymore. Being swept by the enemy's bullets was better than being bombed by satellites and leaving no residue!

  Moreover, at this moment, in order to rush for time, Xiao Bingjia ordered the entire army to throw away all heavy equipment, including the only two iron hammer tanks and communication devices. All were only allowed to carry the lightest weapons.

  Since then, the marching speed has been greatly improved.

  In the long marching column, the acting commander of the 107th Regiment, Xiao Bingjia, was also walking like an ordinary soldier.

  Xiao Bingzheng didn't do it to show off or demonstrate equality between officers and soldiers, but entirely out of safety considerations. With so many people marching on foot, if Xiao Bingzheng was the only one riding in a car, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

  Moreover, on such road conditions, it's likely that there will be gentle slopes or potholes that even tanks may not be able to climb over. It's possible that walking on foot might be faster than driving a car.

  The entire group of over a thousand people set off, with smoke billowing from their backsides as they sprinted forward. The scene was magnificent.

  It takes an hour and a half to get from Bethune to the outskirts of Brighton by car. But that's assuming you're driving on roads. If you were to go in a straight line on foot, it would take almost as long. However, there is much more risk involved because they also have to deal with small and large Allied interception units along the way.

  The cool night breeze whizzed past my ears, and even the sound of my own heartbeat was palpable. Gasping for air, I could feel my blood surging and my soul burning.

  "This is even more bitter than military training in high school..."

  Acidic water in his stomach couldn't help but spew out of his mouth, his eyes gradually started to blur, and his breathing became extremely unsmooth. Xiao Bing even felt like his heart was going to jump out of his mouth with every step he took. Every part of his body was involuntarily sending signals to his brain saying "Stop, stop, you need to rest."

  Don't stop! If you stop, you'll die!

  Xiao Bingjia let out a loud roar towards his own heart.

  Under the oppression of death, Xiao Bing Jia constantly stimulated all the limits in his body, and he galloped forward like a black horse.

  After running about 20 miles, the Red Army soldiers were already drenched in sweat and utterly exhausted.

  "Commander... Commander." A panting infantry company commander caught up with Xiao Bing, saying "This won't do, many of the brothers have already collapsed from exhaustion... Can we stop and rest for a bit before continuing?"

  "No way!" Xiao Bing Jia said resolutely. "Order the whole army to speed up! We are hot, tired and sleepy. But is there anything worse than death? Tell your brothers to hold on, holding on is victory. As long as we reach the outskirts of Brighton, I will let you guys take a break, but not now!"

  The infantry company commander hesitated: "But..."

  "There's nothing but that." Xiao Bing Jia frowned and said coldly, "Pass down the order, anyone who disobeys military orders will be shot immediately!"

  "Yes."

  The infantry company commander shouted loudly and turned around to pass on the order.

  The remaining soldiers had no choice but to force themselves to cheer up and continued to persevere with gritted teeth.

  He ran another stretch of road, and just as Xiao Bing was about to urge him on again, a soldier behind him pointed at the sky and shouted: "That... that thing! It's back!"

  "Huh?" Xiao Bing followed the direction of his finger and looked over, in the pitch-black night sky, another huge fire-red meteor was slowly coming from the northeast.

  But this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is ——

  Behind him, that large group of shooting stars of death!!!!!

  A smile from Death itself!

  Innumerable metal fragments, in intense friction with the air, emit a pale blue flame, but everyone understands that the seemingly inconspicuous blue metal fragments are the most terrifying thing in this man-made disaster!

  Xiao Bing Jia's pupils were instantly filled with a beautiful yet terrifying blue meteor shower!

  Whoosh whoosh whoosh

  Like the sound of a thousand cicadas crying at night, the metal debris emitted an ear-piercing and sharp whistling sound, crashing to the ground with a force that seemed to shake the heavens.

  In the black night sky, an Apollo fighter spinning in mid-air was hit by a blue meteor right on its body. The entire aircraft disintegrated instantly under the impact of the meteor's rush. A dazzling firework burst forth in the night sky, and fragments of the plane mixed with flesh and blood splattered everywhere, sending chills down people's spines.

  Xiao Bingji's loud voice shouted: "Accelerate forward! Forward! Forward! We must break through here and return to our motherland!"

  It was either the roar of General Xiao Bing's voice or the instinctive fear that had been awakened. The body, which had been emptied of all its strength by the long run, somehow found its energy again from somewhere. All the soldiers let out a loud cry and stood up from where they were, launching another fearless charge forward.

  In the inky blackness of night, an army of over a thousand people is rushing along the highway. With death-dealing meteor showers as salutes and earth-shaking thunder as symphonies, the vast and perilous land serves as the stage. Betting their lives, they set foot on the unknown journey home ahead.

  Again, they sped along the road for several miles, and soon they saw that they had already arrived at the coastal suburbs of Brighton. The distance to the outer beach was less than 2 miles away. As long as they broke through this last section of the road, they could smoothly reach the destination pointed out by Old Man Kukufu. From the earth slope where Xiao Bingjia stood, the outline of Brighton's coastline could be seen vaguely in the distance. Xiao Bingjia could even feel the unique smell and chill of the sea breeze.

  Xiao Bing's eyes burst out with a fierce glint, 【Just break through here! Just break through here! Everything will be over after that!】

  Suddenly looking back, the countless space debris that fell from the sky had completely destroyed the small street and even the entire town where they used to stay. Brighton, with a history of hundreds of years, is now crying under the ravages of space debris. The last bit of cultural heritage in the whole town has been shrouded in flames.

  It takes hundreds or even thousands of years to build a civilization, but sometimes it can be destroyed in less than one day.

  The technological advancements and wisdom that humans have developed with all their might are mostly used to destroy their own kind, which is a great irony.

  Xiao Bing Jia didn't have time to indulge in sentimentality. After a brief rest, they set off again, running forward with renewed energy.

  Suddenly, an unexpected event occurred.

  A large group of soldiers wearing Allied military uniforms suddenly appeared in the darkness. Judging from their equally shocked expressions, it is estimated that they did not expect to encounter such a large number of Red Army troops on the road either.

  The war broke out at once.

  "Don't be infatuated with fighting! Break through the past with all your might!" Xiao Bing Jia raised the machine gun in his hand and swept it forward, shouting loudly at the same time.

  "Hurrah!" The Red Army, following the orders of their officers, fired at the marching military columns of the Allied Forces while running diagonally across the battlefield towards the coastline.

  "Hurrah!" The Red Army, following the orders of their superiors, fired at the Allied forces' marching troops while simultaneously making a slanted retreat towards the coastline. The crisp, bamboo-like sound of the ADK-45 assault rifle mixed with the dull sound of the M8 shotgun used by the Allies, punctuated by the occasional explosion of hand grenades, creating an eerie symphony on the battlefield.

  Xiao Bingjia dodged an Allied soldier's gunshot with a strange body movement, then crouched on the ground and pulled the trigger at the Allied soldier who was still tense reloading. After the gunshot, the Allied infantryman's rifle suddenly froze in his hand, the scorching bullet head sent his skull and helmet flying into the sky together, and the splashing brain pulp made Xiao Bingjia think of a smashed watermelon.

  Xiao Bingjia darted back and forth under the cover of darkness and obstacles, taking advantage of the chaotic battlefield to launch sneak attacks on the Allied soldiers. In just over ten minutes, he had already killed dozens of enemy troops trying to take advantage of the situation. His movements were so impressive that even the drivers in the Allied tanks couldn't help but admire him, with several close calls where bullets narrowly missed him as he dodged them with ease. Then his companions lit up their Molotov cocktails and threw them at the tank, engulfing it in flames.

  Seeing their superiors so brave, the morale of the Red Army soldiers rose instantly. They shouted loudly and poured the bullets in their hands even faster towards the direction of the Allied army.

  The scales of victory are gradually tilting towards Xiao Bing's side.

  In this way, while fighting and walking, the distance between Xiao Bingjia and the coastline was shortened again. At this moment, the distance from the coastline is still - 300 meters!

  Just as Xiao Bing was fighting fiercely in the bloody battle, he suddenly heard someone excitedly shouting: "Ula Ula!!"

  Following the cheers and scorching gaze, the scene in front of him was enough to make Xiao Bingjia forget himself, shouting loudly.

  Her eyes were instantly covered with warm tears.

  The originally calm and peaceful sea surface suddenly set off a fierce turbulence. White foam mixed with waves, like thousands of galloping horses, came bounding towards all directions, thunderous roars, unstoppable momentum. Immediately afterwards, a black gigantic shadow emerged more clearly from the sea surface.

  Finally!

  Rumble!!!

  A column of water suddenly gushing out from the surface of the sea!

  A black giant beast slowly rising from the bottom of the sea!

  Deep green tall and majestic body, full of streamlined beauty, with an unstoppable domineering aura, in the posture of a king's descent, he showed his inviolable magnificent body in a foreign land!

  Akula-class strategic submarine!

  Another glory of the Soviet Navy!

  The Akula submarine floated quietly on the surface of the sea, letting the towering waves crash against its body and turn into a misty veil in the sky. The cold moonlight scattered across its entire body, making it stand like an immovable giant stone. It lay there quietly, as if enjoying the praise and glory that a king should have.

  The Allied soldiers across from him also seemed to be entranced by Akula's majestic and intimidating presence, as everyone put down their weapons and stared blankly at this beautiful yet terrifying steel giant.

  Immediately behind that Akula submarine, another burst of water splashed up at the same time. In less than a moment, 4 more Akula submarines slowly rose to the surface.

  So that's how it is!!! Xiao Bing shouted in his heart.

  That's why Kuznetsov had to send the Akula submarine to pick them up. In the daytime battle, the Soviet Baltic Fleet suffered heavy losses, and he didn't want to send an ordinary troopship or cruise ship to transport soldiers. After all, sending a large, defenseless troopship into enemy territory was tantamount to looking for death.

  But if a submarine force were sent out and did not suffer heavy losses, it could not only complete its transport mission normally but also give the British Royal Navy a warning.

  In Chinese, it says: "You think you've destroyed my fleet of warships, but my ocean isn't something you can just come and go as you please. If you dare to retaliate against my naval base, you'll be waiting for a torpedo from me! (Aren't you going to fire back, little devil?)"

  Xiao Bing Jia felt an urge to cry at this moment. 【Finally can leave this ghost place!!!!!】

  *Grrr...*

  A low, muffled growl of turning metal mechanisms suddenly came from the Akula submarine. Immediately afterwards, a hatch on the Akula submarine was opened and a bright sickle hammer flag was raised, flapping loudly in the evening wind in the night sky, dazzling the eyes of the bewildered crowd.

  "Hooray! Long live the glorious Soviet Union! We can go home now!"

  The excited shouts of over a thousand people on the battlefield drowned out the deafening crash of the satellite hitting the ground in the distance, reaching the clouds and almost shattering one's eardrums!

  Xiao Bing Jia was equally excited. He shouted loudly at the people below: "All warriors, pay attention! Form eight rows for me! If that old man from Kashan dares to cut in line, I'll kick him into the sea!"

  "Oh~~~~"

  All soldiers' casual cheers!

  ————————————————————————

  August 6, 1965. Two things happened on Earth.

  One big thing, one small thing.

  A major event was the undeclared war of the Empire of Rising Sun in Far East against the Soviet Union, which officially kicked off the frenzy of World War II.

  Another small matter was that a temporary regimental commander of the Soviet Naval Infantry, an Asian, under his wise leadership, managed to rescue a Red Army naval infantry regiment that had already fallen into a desperate situation.

  Furthermore, due to the poor command of the Red Army's top commander, he vengefully ordered the launch of a satellite that completely erased a small town in mainland Britain from the map. This battle caused 2,000 Allied reinforcement troops who failed to retreat from Brighton to be buried in the flames, and also led to the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent residents of Brighton.

  Finally finished writing this Brighton article...
