Chapter 348 Protect civilians!
The words of Atlas, the platoon leader, suddenly woke up the federal officer in front of him.
Yes, if I start fighting so recklessly, everyone will see through the live broadcast that it was the Federation that took action against this 'humanitarian aid' team first.
Even if this incident can eventually be calmed down, when the superiors are held responsible afterwards, they will definitely find a few culprits to take the blame. A small officer like me will definitely not be able to escape the responsibility.
Thinking of this, both the noncommissioned officer on the front line of the confrontation and the commander of the federal reinforced company calmed down.
The non-commissioned officers who received the order immediately restrained their troops to prevent accidental discharge in a high-pressure environment.
The company commander of this reinforced company also hurriedly led his deputy company commander to the confrontation area.
Looking at the Atlas armed forces waiting in front, as well as the spider-shaped robots that have occupied the surrounding high terrain, and then thinking about the HCP and main battle tanks moving outside the town.
Even though the company commander had ten thousand unwillingnesses in his heart, he could only suppress his unhappiness and planned to resolve the current situation through negotiation.
Of course, he mainly considered the possible public opinion issues, and it was really not because he was worried that his men's light armor and reinforcements would not be able to defeat the opponent in a row.
After coming to the reinforced platoon leader of Atlas, the federal company commander didn't have any politeness and asked directly:
"So what do you want?"
"We don't want to do anything, and we at Atlas don't want to get involved in this war. We are just trying to find ways to protect innocent civilians."
The platoon leader of the reinforced platoon, Beast The Roma man with the characteristics of a ram's head said seriously, and at the same time, in accordance with the requirements of pre-war training, he once again emphasized Atlas's position and mission.
"Innocent? These people are not necessarily. If it weren't for some of them secretly helping to hide the remaining imperial soldiers, my patrol team would not have suffered heavy losses in this small town!"
< br>
"But you don't have evidence now, do you? You can only use the weapons in your hands to forcibly interrogate, and in my opinion, your so-called 'interrogation' is not much different from direct violence"
" OK, we have no evidence." The company commander of the federal army nodded as if he was broken, and then continued:
"It would be unseemly for both of us to continue to stalemate here, so please give me a Is there a solution?”
“We will take in all the refugees—including the female refugees detained by you. We will leave immediately after the shelter is completed, and we will not interfere with your subsequent combat operations. ”
To be fair, the Federal Army also knows that under the current circumstances, the solution given by Atlas is the most appropriate.
At least it will not further darken the image of the Federal Army in front of the public, and the other party does not intend to interfere with their combat operations.
But thinking of the brothers who had been lost in the town these days, the company commander was still very angry. He wanted to wipe out all the civilians present.
But at the last moment, his inner reason finally prevailed.
"Okay, we accept it."
Before the federal officer finished speaking, his entire upper body and the combat exoskeleton suddenly exploded.
"Bang!"
Then, a crisp sound came belatedly.
This sudden turn of events stunned everyone. The ram-headed Roma who was negotiating with the company commander had his tactical mask covered in blood and minced meat.
This is a sniper shot from a large-caliber anti-materiel weapon.
“Enemy attack! Pay attention to cover!”
The federal noncommissioned officer who initially negotiated with the Totoro team reacted quickly. After their company commander was blown into a pile of minced meat, he immediately issued a warning and hid behind an armored vehicle nearby.
The sniper attack just now was like a signal, and the surrounding buildings that had been cleared by the federal army suddenly became lively again. A large number of tungsten alloy high-speed penetrating rods, coupled with several charged particle beams and anti-vehicle missiles attacking the top from a high altitude, quickly enveloped the negotiation area.
The situation, which was slowly easing from a tense situation, fell into chaos in an instant.
On the combat vehicle on the Atlas side, the anti-sniper radar quickly obtained the location of the attack. With the data link sharing information, the infantry's tactical masks quickly moved in the distance. The windows of several buildings there were marked with red marks.
Although the attacker would definitely not stay in one window, the soldiers on Atlas' side were able to figure out the direction of the attack anyway.
"Platoon Leader!"
The captain of the Totoro team rushed to the reinforcement platoon leader's side, grabbed a handle under the opponent's back neck, and the motor of the combat exoskeleton on his body suddenly started to fire. There was a 'sizzling' sound of high-power operation.
With additional assistance, he dragged the platoon leader, who was not very light after wearing the equipment, towards the rear of a nearby medium-sized multi-legged tank.
Just when the upper body of the Federal Army company commander was completely blown apart, the platoon leader of the Atlas reinforced platoon also had his right arm broken.
"Medic! Where is the medic?!"
The lion-headed man shouted anxiously in the communication channel while taking out a bag of gel-like stuff from the tactical bag mounted on his waist. After tearing it open, it fell directly to the broken arm.
Soon, the exoskeleton worn by the platoon leader also released gel and white spray simultaneously, and quickly reacted with the gel, eventually completely covering the section.
At the same time, the platoon sergeant and medic also rushed over, and the Atlas combat vehicle also fired a large number of thermal smoke bombs to cover the battlefield.
The medic quickly opened the combat terminal built into the armband for remote connection, synchronizing the combat exoskeleton's monitoring data of the wearer's body functions, while observing the cross-section of his right arm and checking whether there were other injuries on the body. .
"The good news is that this is the only serious injury at present, and the bleeding has been temporarily stopped. But the bad news is that judging from the monitoring data, the platoon leader has a severe traumatic reaction. The current environment cannot be dealt with, and he must be sent back to the rear immediately for treatment. Treatment. "
The tiger-headed medic, who was strong and looked very capable, spoke a few times on the combat terminal to synchronize the injured person's information to the cloud.
After obtaining the information, the camp in the rear will prepare the treatment or surgical environment in advance based on the type of injury, injury severity and other information.
"Sergeant Thebes, I order you to take over my command, give priority to protecting civilians and counterattack in accordance with the rules of engagement."
The Broken Arm platoon leader didn't know when he woke up. He put his remaining left hand on the platoon sergeant's shoulder and gave the order with difficulty.
"Platoon leader, I will take over the command, but I must first find a vehicle to send you back to the rear."
"No, the heavy firepower we have for the time being is these infantry fighting vehicles and multi-legged fighting vehicles. , will this allow them to withdraw!"
The platoon leader gave a voice command in a low voice, and the injection device built into the combat uniform quickly administered a round of intramuscular injection.
Under the influence of tactical stimulants, the pain in various parts of the body was immediately relieved a lot, and the whole person became more energetic.
“But.”
"Stop it, I can still hold on for a while, just execute the order!"
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, one of them removed the turret and raised the body, and at the same time there was a blue light on the top. The constantly flashing heavy armored vehicle knocked away the car wreckage on the street behind and rushed over with the roar of its engine.
At the same time, a vibrant girl's voice also appeared on the communication channel.
"Don't panic! The doctor sister is here!"
