Vault 32

69 The Return
The smoke of gunpowder filled the wilderness of Alaska, just like a ghost with teeth and claws, dissipating in the chilly wind with nostalgia for the world.The cruel war has disappeared on this land, but the cloud of war always hangs over the sky.As long as there is desire in the human mind, then human beings will never start a war because of anything.

Liszt stood quietly in front of the machine gun bunker, quietly watching the dejected Soviet soldiers below.They now look extremely disheveled and embarrassed, with fear and anxiety about the unknown fate on their faces.Seven or eight scouts next to them were holding their M4A1 assault rifles, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at them, and at the shooting hole of the machine gun bunker, the RPD light machine gun from the Soviet Union had also been used to its full potential. The mouth is aimed at the prisoner queue below.

"According to statistics, our side destroyed three T72 main battle tanks and six BTR-60 armored personnel carriers of the enemy in this battle."

Sofitel walked slowly from the side, with a solemn expression on his face, and when his eyes swept over the Soviet soldier who was squatting on the ground with his head in his arms, his brows frowned slightly.Clenching the small-page notebook in his hand, he walked to Liszt and reported: "A total of 21 enemies were killed, six were slightly injured, and no serious injuries were found."

"This is the statistical result?" Slowly pondering, Liszt raised his head and looked at the distant mountains, but his brows were tightly frowned, quite dissatisfied with the statistical results.His expression was also dignified, and he turned his head to Sofitel and said slowly: "What about our losses and casualties?"

Slightly gritted his teeth, Sofite flipped through the small notebook in his hand, hesitated for a while, and then reported: "We lost four infantry fighting vehicles and one armed off-road vehicle." His tone paused, but he put down the notebook in his hand , as if accepting fate, said softly: "15 people were killed, three were seriously injured, and eight were slightly injured."

"More than half of the casualties? I really didn't expect that on the land of the United States, the United States Federal Army suffered more than half of the casualties. This is simply unbelievable!"

Clenching his fists tightly, Liszt could even feel the crisp sound of his knuckles, but he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. More than half of the army of more than 50 people has suffered casualties, and it is in his own country. How can this allow him to accept all this calmly.No soldier would accept it, it was close to an insult, even if the result was victory.

The ears moved slightly, and Liszt's eyes slowly looked forward. In the very distant sky, three black spots had appeared there, and they were moving towards them.A sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth, and there was a slight sarcasm on Liszt's face: "The U.S. federal police always come after everything is over."

The outlines of three UH-60 "Black Hawk" medium-sized utility helicopters gradually appeared in the field of vision, and the huge roar seemed to appear at the edge of the forest like thunder.The scouts below were all happy when they saw the armed helicopter coming, and several of them waved their hands towards the helicopter to signal their presence.

However, these three UH-60 "Black Hawk" medium-sized utility helicopters, commonly known as Black Hawk gunships, did not lower their altitude, and they still circled back and forth several times at an altitude of several hundred meters.And at the small outline visible to the naked eye, at the cabin doors on both sides, two M134 7.62mm 6-barreled Gatling machine guns have also been aimed at the forest and the battlefield with black smoke, as if searching for some remnants Enemy like that.

"These dogs are really careful."

Spit hard to the side, Liszt took out a pack of cigarettes from his breast pocket, held one in his mouth, lit it with a lighter, and threw the cigarette to Sofitel next to him, looking at the The Black Hawk helicopter roaring overhead, slowly exhaled a puff of cigarette, and said lightly: "But what's the use of being careful, more than half of Alaska has been abandoned."

"They've come down, it's better not to talk about these unhappy things."

Sofitel also lit a cigarette, and looked at the pressed Black Hawk gunship above, but frowned slightly.Turning his head to look at the surrounding Soviet prisoners with even more panicked expressions on their faces, he sighed softly to Liszt next to him: "There are some things that we cannot decide, otherwise General Buner would not be so angry."

Slightly narrowing his eyes, it seemed that he remembered the old Buner's instructions to him, and Liszt couldn't help but spit out two smoke dragons from his nasal cavity.Turning his head and walking towards the wilderness at the edge of the forest, while holding down the walkie-talkie on his chest, he said to the scouts who were guarding the Soviet prisoners: "Look closely, don't let them run away."

Although these Soviet prisoners would become bargaining chips between the United States and the Soviet Union in accordance with international law, they were obviously of little use to this world that had been shrouded in the cloud of the Cold War for hundreds of years.Even if it becomes a bargaining chip, so what, because of the oil shortage, even the United Nations has been disbanded, and the so-called international law has become a joke.

Perhaps the United States Federation will also use these captives to gain some initiative in the negotiations between the two parties, but for Lister and the others, there is nothing worthy of concern.The biggest role of soldiers is to defend the country, not to tear each other at the negotiating table. For Lister and the others, it is easier to solve it with a gun than with their mouths.

"Rejoicing news, Mr. Lister, you have won a battle."

Three Black Hawk helicopter gunships had already parked in the wilderness outside the woods, and a soldier in civilian military uniform walked down while clutching his hat. As the wind from the rotating wings dissipated, a strong wind blew around, and The soldier who jumped off the helicopter had an obvious smile on his face, and said loudly to Liszt: "This is really a shocking and encouraging event."

"Major Leslie? I'm really surprised to see you here, too."

Although he said it verbally, Liszt frowned tightly. He was still deeply impressed by this Major Leslie, who seemed to always be smiling, who blatantly shot and killed people on the helicopter.And when he looked at Leslie's smile, he always felt a little weird, but he frowned and replied loudly: "If you came faster, I'm afraid you can see those Soviet tanks." !"

The sound of the Black Hawk helicopter gunship was loud, and the wind swept away. After Liszt and Major Leslie left three to fifty meters away, they could still feel the faint wind caressing behind them.Seven heavily armed U.S. Federal infantrymen followed closely behind Major Leslie, and they looked elite with their burly figures.

"M16-A4 assault rifle? I thought that all members of the U.S. Army are now equipped with M4A1 assault rifles."

Liszt glanced over the seven heavily armed federal infantrymen, looked at the rifle that was obviously slimmer than the M4A1 assault rifle in their hands, and at the same time recognized what this type of rifle was.Shaking his head subconsciously, he said with some nostalgia: "The M16-A4 assault rifle was so accurate on the Mexican battlefield back then."

The atmosphere seemed to be harmonious with Liszt's question, but Major Leslie still nodded with a smile as before and said: "The current M16-A4 assault rifle is only equipped with infantry units, and it is an individual standard weapon in the hands of mechanized infantry units. , is still the M4A1 assault rifle."

Major Leslie smiled at Liszt, but his eyes swept over the 20 or so Soviet prisoners who were crouching down with their heads folded and were being watched seriously by scouts.He slowly licked the corners of his mouth, his eyes showed a little excitement, and when he looked at them one by one, he nodded one by one, and there was a little excitement in his flat tone: "Oh, this is really good, it's really exciting. An astonishing record."

"Perhaps so."

But Liszt just nodded copingly, and he didn't have much emotion for these Soviet prisoners.Even if it is sent to the group of mentally twisted scientists, or is still being tested in the shelter, it has nothing to do with him, these are just enemies.But what he is concerned about now is the attitude of the Anchorage defense line.

Slightly frowning, Liszt pointed to the two scouts who were idle next to him, pointed to the machine gun bunker and said, "Bring those Canadians out, as well as the Soviet." The two scouts immediately Putting away the work in his hands, he walked towards the machine gun bunker. Looking at the slowly raised eyebrows of Major Leslie next to him, Liszt said, "There are still nine Canadians."

On the other side of the machine gun bunker, nine terrified Canadians and the bearded Soviet soldier were driven out. The scout next to them carefully watched them with their guns. Their dignified faces did not suspect that they had any attempt to escape. , will shoot.

"God, Canadian?"

Major Leslie's eyes widened slightly, and his calm face twitched slightly, but his excellent self-cultivation allowed him to calm down his heart. With a smile like before, he slowly turned his head to look at Li Si Te, said softly as if telling a story: "I really don't know how the next story will develop."

But he didn't hesitate at all, and waved to the nine U.S. Federal Army soldiers following behind him, and ordered without looking back: "You stay here and take care of the prisoners, and no one is allowed to take them away without my order. After he finished speaking, he looked at Liszt with a smile: "And Captain Liszt, now you need to go to the Anchorage defense line with me and the nine Canadians."
