Chapter 179 The Black Hawk Soldier Who Asked for Trouble

"Hahaha, I suppose they're already dead from the poison gas, right?"

As they watched as large swaths of chlorine gas filled the tunnel, the Black Hawk soldiers who had released the gas felt a sense of relief.

In contrast, the officer hiding behind them looked serious.

Something's wrong, something's definitely not right!

Normally, if the Cambrian soldiers inside were really poisoned by the gas, they should have started to struggle in pain at this moment. How come there was no movement at all?

Moreover, if they hadn't been able to withstand the poison gas filling the tunnels, wouldn't they have known to run out?
He didn't believe that these people would rather suffocate from the poison gas than go outside the tunnel to breathe some fresh air, even if they would die anyway.

Before he could say anything, a bullet suddenly shot from the treetops in the distance, hitting a gas canister.

The gas canister, with a large hole punched in it, instantly sprayed out a large amount of chlorine gas. Upon seeing this, the surrounding soldiers turned pale with horror and hurriedly fled the scene, not even bothering to retaliate against the snipers in the distance.

Most soldiers didn't think about bringing gas masks when they stormed in, even though their tactical regulations required them to.

But there was nothing they could do; they hadn't encountered any enemy gas attacks along the way, which made them somewhat complacent at this moment.

The wind was blowing directly towards them, which terrified the Black Hawk soldiers.

Since no one retaliated, the scout player hiding in the treetops decided to take matters into their own hands.

He had originally planned to fire a shot and then move to another location, slowly circling around this group of people, but to his surprise, no one fired a shot for a long time; everyone was only concerned with escaping for their lives.

First, he fired several shots, all hitting the other gas canisters. Then, he began to use his rifle to take them down one by one, like the Grim Reaper.

The Black Hawk soldiers, fleeing in panic, were being shot down one after another, each bullet precise and deadly.

Naturally, a Black Hawk soldier spotted the player in the tree. He instinctively wanted to raise his gun to return fire, but seeing the chlorine gas rushing towards him, his face turned green.

What are you holding a gun for? Run!

If he didn't run, even if he could shoot that Cambrian soldier in the other direction, he would still die from the chlorine gas.

At that moment, to make matters worse for the other Black Hawk soldiers, Cambrian soldiers broke out of the chlorine gas field!
When they saw the gas masks on the soldiers' faces, and the submachine guns and light machine guns in their hands, their hearts skipped a beat.

Yes, how come they didn't notice?
In previous battles, they discovered that the number of automatic weapons these guys had was extremely unreasonable; the number of automatic weapons a squad was equipped with was equivalent to that of half a company!

From this perspective, these guys are clearly the elite troops of the Cambrian Empire!

So if they are elite troops, how could they not even be equipped with gas masks?
Unfortunately, at this moment, even if they were filled with regret, it would be meaningless.

As soon as the gunfire rang out, several Black Hawk soldiers fell to the ground in pools of blood. Some Black Hawk soldiers fought desperately, choosing to remain in place and fight back even if it meant being suffocated by the poison gas, but they were quickly overwhelmed by the players who rushed up and killed them with bayonets.

Driven along the way, the large group of Black Hawk soldiers fled the village in a sorry state. By the time they escaped, less than half of the mechanized infantry battalion that had stormed into the village remained.

However, after breaking out, the player did not continue the pursuit, as the enemy's firepower outside was quite intense. In addition to the few Peacekeeper mechs that had followed the Black Hawk soldiers in earlier, there were even more Peacekeepers outside the village.

Faced with the terrifying firepower of dozens of heavy machine guns, even the players couldn't possibly charge forward and could only retreat back to the village in a sorry state.

But at this point, even if the soldiers who had tested positive retrieved the gas masks they had thrown aside from the vehicle, they no longer dared to rush into the village.

After fighting for so long, they didn't even know how many people were in the village, but the various weapons displayed by the enemy in the village were an eye-opener for them.

Not to mention, they also discovered a seemingly complex tunnel system in the village.

Before they fully understand the tunnel system, there is no way they can rush into the village again; otherwise, it would be suicide!

"Call for air support! We can't keep fighting like this. Let our air force just bomb this village flat!"

At the rear, an officer who had been observing the battlefield slowly lowered his binoculars, his expression showing some pain.

He never imagined that his army, which had previously fought its way through countless Cambrian Empire armies, would now be blocked in front of such a small village.

The enemies here are so monstrous that they cannot be judged by common sense.

Since his troops couldn't break through, and the artillery following behind didn't catch up, he decided to let the air force take care of the enemy here.

The players hiding in the village were originally planning to take advantage of this lull to do some fancy tricks, such as digging tunnels to get out and ambushing the enemy from the side.

But when they saw the airship suddenly flying in from the sky, the players' expressions instantly became tense.

Although the number of airships that flew over this time was not large, and there were no large airships of that size, these aerial attacks were still enough to make them feel quite uncomfortable!
What upset them the most was that their village's respawn point would be destroyed by airship bombing!

Damn it, this is the first time they've ever seen a respawn point that can be destroyed by enemy bombardment!
Isn't this a trap?
Of all their respawn points, only one is located in a cellar, which might allow them to survive a bombing, but the other respawn points are all large buildings in the village.

If this bombardment is targeted by the enemy, they'll be in big trouble!

"Quickly, spread out! Everyone, don't gather near the respawn point!"

"Send a few men to set up AT guns, and have the engineers run to the center of the village to build anti-aircraft guns! Shoot down their airships!"

Some quick-thinking players immediately realized what they should do.

Their most important task right now is not to survive the bombing, but to quickly protect the respawn point in the village!

If they want to hold the respawn point, simply setting up defenses there won't be enough; they're unlikely to be able to stop all of the enemy's air force.

Therefore, the most common way to preserve the respawn point is to make these buildings appear as harmless and without any value for attack.
