Girls Frontline: Griffin Security

"The building is cleaned!"

"Got it, keep going, be safe"

Commands were transmitted in an orderly manner on the ground, and the humanoids on the first floor were tacitly divided into two combat teams. After tearing down the courtyard wall, they continued to attack the next building.

The wounded soldiers and civilians in the basement were rescued by the Red Army soldiers who arrived later...

"Come on, come on, have the medical team arrived? Hurry up and give them the stretcher!"

Amir had become the "temporary platoon leader" at some point and was now directing other soldiers to evacuate civilians and the wounded in an orderly manner.

"Boom—"

A shell exploded not far away, but this time he didn't even blink, completely different from the timid person he was a few days ago.

Xu Bin was operating the command tablet in a nearby house. He also glanced at Amir from a distance and couldn't help but sigh in his heart - war is so terrible that it can make a silly young man grow up so quickly.

Well, growth is a good thing, but the price is too high...

------

The enemy artillery, having lost their logistical support, did not continue firing for long, and the barrage soon weakened.

The companies of the motorized infantry battalion did not miss this opportunity and quickly captured the outermost row of buildings - all the buildings except the "cooperative" building.

They encountered a lot of trouble when attacking the cooperative...

.

"Xu Bin, you are here...!"

Belik walked into the house with a dusty face, holding a map in his hand:

"I am here to inform you of the current enemy and our situation, and your unit's combat mission."

After that, he spread out the map on the table, pointed at the location of the two people and began to explain...

At this moment, the troops are relying on houses to build defense lines, preparing to deal with the enemy's next move.

But the cooperative building was like a nail, firmly stuck in the middle of their defense line, so that the soldiers of the 3rd Company could not get in after several attempts...

The defenders inside are the "Fratenechon Youth Group".

You know, these guys won't surrender, they have a devilish will to fight.

Moreover, their defensive tactics were quite flexible: they sealed all the doors and windows below the third floor, leaving only the main gate on the southeast side for entry and exit - this gate was more than 5 meters wide and more than 3 meters high, much larger than the main entrances of banks commonly seen on the street.

After entering through the gate, one will be faced with an empty hall on the first floor. There is no shelter there - it is the cemetery of the light infantry.

The enemy has now retreated to the second floor and above, and has formed a tight fire network with light weapons. More than 3 soldiers from the rd Company went in but failed to get out alive...

.

"Well... the method of blowing up the wall to open a path doesn't work anymore?" Xu Bin asked, scratching his cheek.

"It won't work," Belik replied.

"The outer walls of this building are all made of reinforced concrete. After we blasted it, we could only make a small hole that was only slightly connected to the steel bars. And even if we got in, we wouldn't be able to find a shelter and would soon be killed by the enemies on the second floor..."

"That's a bit difficult..."

After listening to this, Xu Bin nodded, staring at the location of the cooperative on the map without saying a word...

——Blowing up the wall doesn’t work, breaking into the main door doesn’t work, and climbing through the window isn’t feasible either.

A "secret room" made up of a network of firepower?

Not noticing that Xu Bin's mind was wandering, Bielik continued to speak:

"The battalion headquarters has assigned you PMCs the task of guarding the buildings and streets in the back row to prevent the enemy's light infantry squads from infiltrating and attacking us."

Hmm? Light Infantry...?

A key word suddenly lit up in Xu Bin's mind, and then disappeared like a firefly.

The main gate, is it really impossible to attack it by force?

If you think outside the box.....do that.....maybe.....

you can!

Having figured out a solution, Xu Bin quickly interrupted Bielik's speech:

"The reason why your 3rd Company couldn't get in is because the first floor hall is too empty and the infantry lacks cover and can't fight, right?"

"Yes," Bielik replied, "Throwing smoke bombs won't work either - if any two grenades are thrown down from the upper floor, more than half of us will be killed or injured."

"Well... it's still a question of light infantry. In my opinion, there's no need for you to use human flesh to fight their bullets..."

As he spoke, Xu Bin walked to the window.

Hiding in the shadows, he peeked at the main entrance of the cooperative - 5 meters wide and 3 meters high.

Looking back at Belik, Xu Bin asked, "Why don't you drive the tanks and armored vehicles into the building?"

"Huh-?! Drive into the building?!"

After hearing this, Belik was completely stunned.

That's indoors. Who would drive a vehicle into a house to fight the enemy?

Not only is it difficult for vehicles to maneuver indoors, but their ability to search for enemies is also greatly reduced - high-magnification sights are not even as reliable as the naked eye!

The vehicles can only become targets for enemy anti-tank fighters...

Time was limited, so Xu Bin stopped talking and explained to the other party briefly:

"I don't mean to let the crew members fight the enemy inside the building, but to let them abandon the vehicle and let the armored vehicles drive in with hot smoke! You see, the lobby on the first floor is very empty, right? There is not even a pillar. If you push seven or eight vehicles in, won't they become bunkers? Then the infantry can enter the stairwell more safely and go upstairs to eliminate the enemy."

"....Are you serious? Tanks and armored vehicles are very expensive. Are you going to use them as mobile sandbags?"

"Because human life is more valuable..." Xu Bin decisively refuted the other party, "After dark, the large force of the friendly army should enter the city."

"The enemies in this building will be observing from a high place and directing artillery fire for their companions. Once the main force is stuck in traffic on the street and bombed... you should know what this means, right?"

After that, he stopped talking, opened a can of beef and started eating it - it was salty and greasy, but filling.

------

Belik reported Xu Bin's proposal.

What he didn't expect was that this somewhat absurd-sounding solution was quickly approved by the battalion commanders - they even transferred BTR-80s from other companies.

"Considering that tracked vehicles may slip in the lobby on the first floor, I think we should first push the BTR with rubber tires in, and then finally put... two... tanks... as cover at the entrance..."

Behind the ruins, Belik pointed at the floor plan of the cooperative building and discussed it with Xu Bin, while he started drawing on the drawing:

"Their bodies are about the same size. They drive to the center of the hall and use it as a cover. The tanks with thicker armor try to break through the wall of the stairwell - it's a brick wall, and there should be room to turn the muzzle after breaking it. The gunner can suppress the enemies above the stairs and cover the infantry to go in..."

"Wait a minute," Xu Bin interrupted him, "I should have said that the crew members abandoned the vehicle directly. It is too dangerous to enter the building with the vehicle."

Before he finished speaking, he found that Belik smiled bitterly...

"I know this, and the crew members know it too..." Belik shook his head slowly:

“But everyone is very clear about the consequences of not taking down the cooperative building.”

"In order to make the vehicle's position in the lobby on the first floor as effective as possible, all the crew members are looking for me to fight... The battalion headquarters also believes that this battle cannot afford the risk of losing, so they agreed to let the driver and gunner stay in the vehicle."

Xu Bin was silent.

This kind of person who knows that this action will lead to death but still rushes towards death... This is not the first time he has seen this kind of person, but he can never get used to it.

After a moment he nodded:

"My team will be dispersed in the buildings in the back to guard the streets, so you can rest assured about your defense. In addition..."

“I want to go into the cooperative building with you.”

Xu Bin looked at Bielik seriously and asked earnestly.

This was not unreasonable. After he entered the building, he had the ability to increase the survival rate of the soldiers of the 3rd Company, and he was even more capable of protecting himself. Xu Bin had been trained countless times by the system in similar battles. Given more time, it was not impossible for him to clear the building alone. However, the friendly forces would definitely not agree.

Belik knew that the other party was worried about the "temporary comrades" in the 3rd Company who had been with him for many days, and he also knew that the losses in his company were not optimistic, so he nodded in agreement:

"Well, then... let's go together!" Belik looked at Xu Bin carefully, "This should be your last battle in Akstan. On behalf of all the officers and soldiers in the company, I would like to express my respect to you!"

The latter smiled slightly: "It seems that the 'review' you did in the Triangle Forest that day was quite effective..."

------

Half an hour later, the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Company dispersed into squads and platoons, hiding in the ruins in front of the cooperative building, waiting for the order to attack.

Taking advantage of this leisure time, Xu Bin checked his equipment and said to Amir in front of him:

"I really didn't expect you to make such great progress, buddy. You are no longer afraid of gunfire, and now you have become... a temporary officer?"

"Yes, he is the temporary platoon leader." Amir smiled bitterly with blood on his face. "The original platoon leader was killed this morning. After seeing so many people sacrifice, I have to force myself to improve! Only in this way can more comrades survive..."

It was obvious that although the young man had become the officer he had always dreamed of, he was not so happy in his heart.

Just when Xu Bin wanted to say something else, the other party took out a helmet from behind and handed it to him:

"Put on this, our old 6B14 helmet, which is convenient for distinguishing friend from foe during combat. I hope you don't find it ugly."

Xu Bin reached out and took it. It was heavy and indeed not very pretty, but there was a red five-pointed star sprayed on the front.

"It suits you very well, Xu Bin. You look even more handsome after wearing it!" Amir smiled.

Several young league members nearby also looked over and gave thumbs up, praising:

"Comrade Xu Bin is so suitable for this star. He looks much more energetic when he wears it!"

"If you ask me, I think we should give him a set of our military uniform, so he can see what it looks like when he wears it."

"Can you take a photo with me? Yes, just look here. My GoPro is recording. I'll take screenshots and print them out to submit to the school newspaper when I get back."

The members of Amir's platoon all have good English skills and seem to be good students who study hard in school. They are the future pillars of Akstan...

These students do not have the "new class concept" of "when war comes, those with lower education will go first", but only the excitement of "I am a member of the Youth League, I want to be a pioneer (edge)", which seems to be the quality that young people should have.

Amir pulled out his magazine and checked it again, then said to Xu Bin:

"The 3rd Company is now made up of young soldiers of the same age as you and me. And you should know who the opponent we will face in the cooperative soon, right?"

"Know"

Xu Bin nodded and unfastened the safety of his AK74:

"The Flatnyshon Youth Group is also a group of young soldiers"

"Yes, that's right!" Amir straightened his back and turned to his companions, "So today we are going to teach those 'young people' in the building a lesson! Let those guys know what a real youth should be like! Classmates, do you have confidence?"

"Have!"

The soldiers answered him in unison, their eyes filled with determination.

At the same time, several armored vehicles suddenly rushed out from the ruins. After leaving the shelter of the building, they raised a trail of hot smoke and drove straight to the main entrance of the cooperative building.

Xu Bin knew that the charge of each squad and platoon of the 3rd Company was about to begin.

So he patted Amir on the shoulder and signaled him to get ready.

When he placed his hand on him, he noticed that the other person's shoulders were trembling slightly - just a little bit.
