Gangnam(3)
“How are you going to act here?”
Seeing a certain level of active cutting edge, the company commander sought my advice.
“Let’s use the machine gun to subdue the zombie swarm on the right. You can use the firepower of the Guardian team to close the gate. But for now, let’s save some ammo. Change your personal firearm to a burst fire and shoot the remaining monsters with a true aim. The undead’s approach is not fast enough, so it can be neutralized even with a true aim.”
According to my plan, the company commander gave orders, and the company moved in unison.
Anything is difficult the first time.
I just panicked when I tried to do it in a state where I had never experienced a real battle.
If you want to live, you are good at anything.
“Hey, Sgt. Kim Jang-byeong!! What if I can’t get it right?!”
“Buchan. The first thing that moves is shooting!”
“Ah. Shaggy. a lot of hands lots of hands 200 meters from the designated road.”
“Five. Buchan. Is it okay to shoot like this?”
“I’ve seen a lot of bastards like you.”
The platoon commanders made the situation as familiar as possible for their friends who were young shooters.
The deputy platoon commanders worked hard to take care of the soldiers.
“Look. You shoot well, why are you shooting like a bingshi? Just shoot forward like this. Okay?”
What I thought when I saw that was that there were definitely a lot of elite new recruits in the army.
I wondered if I could stop this with those people.
They were more like civilians than soldiers.
But it’s better than nothing.
The team successfully closed one more gate.
“Everyone did well. Now let’s move on to the next area.”
“Did you hear that? Let’s all check the number of comrades and civilians and move on!”
After that incident, the company commander asked me this and that.
He was not ashamed to ask young people.
He’s put a lot of effort into it since he realized that warfare with the other world was an expert I knew a lot better.
Perhaps it was because he realized that it was an experience that could not be easily obtained that could save the lives of his subordinates.
“There is information I learned at the military academy, but I think what people who have experienced in actual combat say is more credible.”
“What do you instruct the military academy to do in this situation?”
“There is not much talk about the situation itself. A soldier’s war is against humans, not the gates. They say it is up to the Awoken to deal with the Gate. Maybe it was intentionally because the Great Gate Tactics Manual was not properly prepared after the Great War.”
I asked with a questioning face.
“I don’t understand. Has the time passed? Five years have already passed since the Great War. Would that be enough time to create and revise the manual?”
“I heard that there is still a feud between the upper ranks of the military and the Guardians.”
“It’s hard to understand.”
He smiled bitterly and said, “I’m good at fighting and fighting, but I don’t know society yet.”
.
“I felt the same way when I first read the manual, but after I became a commander after leaving a beginner’s cadre, I somehow understood. In the past, the god of war was artillery, but now no one says that the god of war is artillery. The Awoken now leads war and order. It means that soldiers who have not awakened and have no ability will have a hard time getting promoted. But still generals are generals.”
Not only politicians, but also soldiers take their own bowls.
“Even though the age of Guardians has come, and the Awoken are still a bit scary. In particular, the proportion of criminals is high among Awakened people with a heterogeneous appearance. A lot of people wonder whether or not the Awoken should be considered human. In the meantime, would the generals made up of ordinary human beings want to give up their vested interests? The theory of the use of the awakened in war is also a topic of military university thesis.”
It’s like closing your eyes and screaming.
There was a time when retired generals became lawmakers as security advisors or defense experts.
And now, in order to somehow survive when they are now lost gods, are you arguing that guardians and soldiers do different things?
That’s why even the textbooks when this happens can’t be developed properly.
This worldview is truly legendary.
I can feel the novelist’s malice, it’s just that.
“Stop making melancholic sounds and clean up the battlefield. We have a long way to go.”
I removed the gate and looked at the large magic stone that came out.
Adunafel was clinging to it.
“It’s too big to carry. I should throw it away.”
[Can not be done!! Why would you throw away a soul that looks so delicious? Out of Contractor Mind? We have work to do here anyway, so if we leave it here, we will eat it all! We will eat it all until the contractor returns. You can bet!]
Anistine smiled mischievously.
[Because you can’t eat it all, I put my dress on it.]
[If we eat it all, we will steal your stupid dress! You stupid cow!!]
[What are you going to bet?]
Adunafel thought deeply and opened his mouth.
[When I return, I listen to the hymn for eight hours!]
[Is that something I can usually do if I want?]
[Rain… Cowardly Milk Boy!!]
[I’m betting on something else.]
Adunafel looked up and started licking the Magic Crystal.
[I do not know!! Choose what you want!! I have nothing to give anyway!]
Adunafel hugs the magic crystal that looks a little bigger than her and doesn’t let go.
Holding on to the magic stone with all four feet, she began to gnaw at the magic stone over and over again.
[Kiyorking!! This will make our power even stronger!]
“okay. Eat a lot.”
In the middle of Gangnam, a continuous explosion sound was heard.
Is it because the pro Guardians are struggling to close the gate?
All we could do for them was slam the visible gates to keep their rears from getting blocked.
“Are there any plans to support those Guardians fighting over there now?”
The lieutenant colonel shook his head.
“I don’t know yet.”
The thought that we would be able to stop it by planning it so well seemed absurd.
Especially when I see people repeating shoveling like that.
Anyway, right now, I’m not in the mood or ability to go help.
All I can do is rescue the civilians so they can comfortably focus on the main gate.
What was encouraging was that, seeing our performance, civilians who had been hiding here and there began to join us.
“The Guardians! We are now alive!!”
“Here!! There’s someone trapped down here!”
With the power of Sona and Ahn Anderson, the steel and concrete were removed and people were saved.
It was not a big deal to lift the collapsed building thanks to two small cranes.
Seeing their mythical power, the soldiers burst into laughter.
“How can you achieve such a power with human power?”
“Don’t look at it and admire it, but quickly bring out the civilians!”
Under the direction of the company commander, the company members quickly rescued people.
It was encouraging, but I had to face the brutal truth quickly.
The point is that as civilians join in, the things that need to be protected gradually increase.
When there were about forty civilians making noises, I tilted my head and looked around.
“Hobini. The tail is elongated. They are caught when their tails are long.”
“okay. This is a big problem.”
“You have to send the tail. The tail gradually slows down.”
As the movement close to marching continues after the battle, children and the elderly are slowly sagging backwards.
Soldiers lined up to protect them.
“Sergeant Major. What do you think?”
“There is absolutely no way cars can get in here. But there are too many dangers to send these civilians alone. But there are still many civilians to return here. And the areas that are currently at war need us.”
This is very difficult.
We don’t have enough troops to divide the troops here again.
It’s a difficult situation.
“Can’t you just keep us here? I don’t think I can walk anymore.”
“The Guardian must protect the civilians, not leave them alone!”
It’s impossible to throw away those who cling to it.
And I thought of a few tools the Guardians could use, and I picked the best one out of them.
“Sergeant Major. Let’s borrow some communicators for a moment.”
He lent the signalman’s back without a word.
I didn’t know there were still such old-fashioned radios in this era.
“Bird nest. bird nest. This is Dodo Bird 01. More than that.”
“Dodo Bird 01. This is a bird’s nest. More than.”
“Bird’s nest, dodo bird 01, is it possible to scramble with forty bird eggs and Mighty Owl at the current A-8 area coordinate 1749? More than.”
“Can not be done. Dodo Bird 01. The Mighty Owl has already left the nest. Arrival in 30 minutes. Hold the cross in front of your current location. More than.”
“Confirm. Dodo Bird 01 or more communication ended.”
After unfamiliar words came and went, Captain Oh Seung-mo asked me.
“Bird eggs are civilians, and I know what a nest and a dodo are, but what is a mighty owl?”
“It is a civilian rescue vehicle. I’m glad you’re here in at least 30 minutes.”
he said with a tired face.
“As I said, cars are not allowed here. The road is already clogged with vehicles.”
I answered calmly.
“I never mentioned a wheeled car like that. Guardians always find a way.”
He grunted and continued.
“If there is such a thing, wouldn’t it be good to use it when riding here in the first place? I came here with a hard time.”
“As the company commander knows, there are a lot of dangerous things here, so I had to be as careful as possible. The secret weapon should always be used when necessary.”
He grunted, but quickly ordered the soldiers to build a brief camp around them.
“While we hold our position, we will explore the surroundings to see if there are any more casualties to rescue. I’m going to defend this place, so I’ll just attach one cadet. I will put the soldiers on alert and restore them.”
I nodded.
The military may seem useless, but in this case it is also useful.
At the very least, the scoundrels crawling out of the gate will die if they get hit.
Also, at least when you are sleeping with a breather, the person standing on the four-week boundary will wake you up.
Still, the company is rapidly acquiring information.
When it didn’t help at the first gate, I was wondering if it was really assigned to someone to use it, but it seems to be adapting quickly because life is involved.
Humans are said to be adaptive animals.
People are quick to respond to things that cost their lives.
In less than half a day, the soldiers quickly become warriors.
I came out and came out of the building with Namgungyeon.
It was meant to take a break from the civilians who were chanting not to abandon us and cover us up.
“I went around a lot today. Hobini. It’s pretty tiring.”
Namgoong-yeon also sighed, wiping the sweat from her head.
“I’m really tired because I think it’s a real game rather than training. Managing people is not easy.”
We shared our battle food for a while and looked around from the roof of the building.
There was the sound of shooting plasma rifles in the vicinity, but there was no time to go to help.
There were forty people who depended on us now, and nearly sixty people, including the soldiers, were in my hands.
Thinking about that, I couldn’t chew the battle rations I had put in my mouth.
Anxiety was coming out.
In times like these, it is a virtue of a professional to take better care of your mind, but I guess I am still less professional.
Seeing my expression, Sorina tilted her head and approached me and asked.
“Hobini. Anything bad?”
“Nope. I’m just feeling a little ominous. Let’s quickly look around and then go back.”
I forced the rice into my mouth.
There is work to be done and there is no time to rest here.
But it never changed my ominous mood.
“Damn it. What is that!!”
A single warrior’s scream filled his ears.
“Get rid of the undead!! A bunch of damned undead!!”
