Luo Tianyi pondered a while, and his eyes flashed with a sharp glint as he nodded in agreement: "Fine!!"
Every man for himself, heaven and earth would destroy him. Luo Tianyi did not want to lose all his capital here. Without those soldiers, there was no point in being a Commander Luo.
After making their choice, Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming quickly boarded their vehicles and left the command centre, under the protection of their respective experts, they returned to their own troops.
Very quickly, Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming's troops left their positions, as they abandoned their heavy weapons and made for the direction of SY County.
"Commander!! Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming's troops have retreated!!! "
Not long after Shen Hongyang and the rest returned to the command centre, an officer came up to Shen Hongyang and reported loudly.
"What!!!" Hearing the news, Shen Hongyang, Liu Huifeng, Qian Weimin and Yue Zhong all had a huge change in expression.
Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming's troops had left without saying goodbye, and had directly opened up 2 huge gaps in the defensive line that they had agreed upon beforehand. The huge zombie horde could easily pass through the 2 gaps, and circle around to their back to attack them.
After Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming's troops had retreated, the Tiger's Mouth Gorge that Yue Zhong was defending had lost its advantage. The zombies could easily sneak in through the gap left behind by Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming's troops and deal a heavy blow to him.
"Fuck Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming's entire family!!" Liu Huifeng who had always been steady could not help but curse out loud. He was already beyond furious, this sort of action of abandoning one's comrades on the battlefield was despicable, and would directly lead to the loss of a battle.
Qian Weimin's eyes were also bloodshot, as he cursed out loud: "Fuck!! Commander Shen, I suggest that Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming's troops be declared traitors. Deploy the assault helicopters to wipe them out!! "
The remaining 7 assault helicopters were under Shen Hongyang's control, the moment they were deployed, they would be able to deal a devastating blow to Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming's troops who had abandoned their heavy weapons.
Yue Zhong also walked over and said furiously: "Commander Shen!! Please immediately deploy the assault helicopters to wipe out the rebels!! Also, order SY County to declare that Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming are traitors!! "
This was blatant betrayal!! On the most crucial battlefield, Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming had ruthlessly stabbed them in the back. Yue Zhong couldn't help but be furious.
Shen Hongyang was silent for a while before slowly saying: "No!! Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming had committed heinous crimes. But the soldiers under them were innocent! These soldiers were all good men, and had contributed greatly to the conquest of SY County. I cannot give such an order!! "
Hearing Shen Hongyang's words, Yue Zhong's heart was filled with disappointment! Shen Hongyang was concerned about the soldiers under Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming, and was not willing to declare them as rebels, so he sent his troops to annihilate them. He had a good heart, but in this situation, his good heart could almost be equated to cowardice.
"Commander! The zombies are attacking!!! "An officer shouted.
The reason why the zombies had retreated was because they had expended too much energy and were waiting for the zombies behind them to arrive. As soon as the zombies arrived, they launched a flurry of attacks.
Yue Zhong eyed Shen Hongyang and spoke coldly: "Commander Shen, since you're not willing to give such an order. I can't force you. Goodbye. "
After that!! Yue Zhong walked out with large strides. He did not want to stay here to be buried with Shen Hongyang. The moment Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming's troops fled, they were destined to fail. The only thing he could do now was to escape with his troops as fast as possible. Continuing to talk nonsense with Shen Hongyang was just a waste of time.
Shen Hongyang's face fell, as he shouted with all his might: "Yue Zhong!! Come back!! Yue Zhong, come back!!! "
If Yue Zhong also left, the situation would be even worse.
Yue Zhong ignored Shen Hongyang, as he leapt onto Greenie's back, and flew towards the direction of his troops.
"My order! The 1st Battalion of the Reserve Troops, as well as the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Battalions of Ning Guang County, are to immediately retreat towards SY County! The Special Combat Forces are to form a resistance! Xu Zhengguang, you stop the retreat! " Sitting on Greenie's back, Yue Zhong used the walkie-talkie to issue a series of orders to his troops.
"Commander! What happened? "On the other side, the commanding officer Xu Zhenggang furrowed his brows as he asked Yue Zhong. From Yue Zhong's urgent orders, he could sense that something was amiss.
Yue Zhong gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Luo Tianyi and Su Dongming, those 2 bastards, have brought their troops and escaped!! We can't hold off the zombies' advance! "
"I understand! I promise to complete the mission! "Xu Zhenggang left a sentence behind. He then began to organise his troops to retreat!!
As the weakest of the Reserve Troops, the 1st Battalion was the first to retreat. They took big strides, as they made their way towards SY County. Every one of them was holding a can of Type 2 Mutant Beast meat, eating as they walked. The canned meat of the Type 2 Mutant Beasts would allow them to recover faster.
The various heavy weapons that had been placed on the 2 hills were also dismantled, and placed into the vehicles. Together with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Battalions of Ning Guang County, they began to retreat in an orderly fashion. Only the Special Combat Forces were left to defend Tiger's Mouth Gorge, in order to buy time for Yue Zhong's main forces to retreat.
Yue Zhong then gave an order to Guo Quan: "Guo Quan! You are to immediately lead the troops to seize the bridge!! Evacuate all the survivors within the base to the other side of the bridge. That's the route of retreat for my army, you have to defend it well!! "
Guo Quan replied loudly: "Yes! Captain Yue!! "
After Yue Zhong left, Liu Huifeng and Qian Weimin only stared coldly at Shen Hongyang, before ignoring him. They immediately left the command centre and ordered their own troops to abandon their heavy equipment, and started to escape. As long as there were people around, there was hope.
The moment Liu Huifeng and Qian Weimin's troops retreated, the entire frontlines crumbled, and the horde of zombies flooded the positions one after another.
Shen Hongyang had immediately deployed the 10 tanks and IFVs to kill the zombies.
However, after knowing that Liu Huifeng, Qian Weimin and the rest had retreated, the morale of Shen Hongyang's troops was also shaken. The soldiers no longer had the heart to fight, and started to escape.
The zombies that had escaped from Luo Tianyi's troops had made their way to Shen Hongyang's side, and gave him a vicious blow, surrounding an entire battalion of Shen Hongyang's soldiers.
Under the fear of their retreat being cut off, Shen Hongyang's troops started to crumble, and a large number of soldiers started to escape from their positions, throwing away their weapons as they fled into the night.
Amongst the zombies, the S1s and S2s had become the most terrifying killers, as they chased after the fleeing soldiers, and bit them to death.
Every second, there would be a large number of human soldiers dying. The soldiers were routed like a landslide, and there were all sorts of equipment and ammunition belts, light and heavy machine guns, mortars, rocket launchers and other weapons that had been abandoned by the soldiers. They only wanted to lighten their own bodies, so that they could escape faster.
One officer came up to Shen Hongyang and pleaded bitterly: "Commander!! Quickly retreat!! We can't hold on any longer! If we don't retreat now!! The zombies are about to reach here!! "
Shen Hongyang looked at the crumbling frontlines and the fleeing soldiers, and his face was blank: "Was I wrong? Where did I go wrong? Why is it like this?? "
Shen Hongyang saw the elite soldiers being bitten to death by the zombies, and his heart ached. These were the seeds of hope for humanity's revival.
Liu Huifeng and Qian Weimin had also abandoned their positions and started to escape. Shen Hongyang's troops were exposed and surrounded by the zombies, and a large number of soldiers had died in battle. Out of the entire army, only Shen Xue's elite battalion was left.
The officer did not care about his superiors and shouted at Shen Hongyang who was still in a daze: "Commander!! If we don't retreat, Miss Shen Xue's troops will be wiped out by the zombies!! "
"Let the 1st Battalion retreat!! Armored Company to cover the rear!! "Shen Hongyang regained his senses and gave a flurry of orders.
Under Shen Hongyang's command, the 10 tanks and a dozen IFVs formed an armored company to cover the rear, and charged towards the zombies, crushing them and killing a large number of them.
The 7 assault helicopters were also deployed by Shen Hongyang, and cooperated with the armored company to rescue the battalion of soldiers that had been surrounded by the zombies.
Under the sea of zombies, other than Shen Xue's troops, the rest of the troops abandoned their heavy equipment and fled frantically towards SY County.
Defeat!! It was a complete and utter defeat!!
On the roads, there were many human soldiers who had abandoned their equipment. The moment they were caught by the S-Types, they would definitely die.
The speed of the S2s far surpassed the ordinary zombies, and they quickly caught up to the retreating troops of Liu Huifeng and Qian Weimin, dealing a heavy blow to them.
Qian Weimin's and Liu Huifeng's troops had immediately sent out a team of Enhancers to deal with the S2s, but under the frenzied assault of the S2s, a few battalions of soldiers were defeated and forced to flee in all directions.
The first thing he did was rush to Tiger's Mouth Gorge. He wanted to stay here with the Special Combat Forces to snipe the zombies, and prevent them from catching up to his troops.
Without the support of the other camps, Tiger's Mouth Gorge was destined to be breached, as long as they could hold out a little longer, the zombie horde would slow down.
By the time Yue Zhong arrived at Tiger's Mouth Gorge, the battle had already reached its climax. The horde of zombies continued to surge towards Tiger's Mouth Gorge like a tidal wave.
In the direction of Tiger's Mouth Gorge, a few light and heavy machine guns were already firing wildly, and under the barrage of bullets, the zombies were shot through and fell to the ground.
The zombies continued to die at the entrance of Tiger's Mouth Gorge, and there was already a 4m-tall mountain of corpses at the entrance. (To be continued. If you like this work, please feel free to drop a recommendation vote or a monthly vote. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
