The comrades-in-arms around me have fallen, it doesn't matter! The enemy has not had time to wield a spear, and this is the best time to cut off his head: a blood-spurting blood groove has been stabbed out of his body, and it doesn't matter! The enemy's gun is still stuck in his own bones, and this is the most suitable time to give him a backhand knife: whose arm has left the armor, the problem is serious, right? But no one cares, this guy also has military boots embedded with spurs, and when he falls to the ground, he can give the enemy a more ruthless blow, and abolish his descendants! It was the squad leader who picked up the warrior with the broken arm, and Mikel handed his matching sword into the other hand that the warrior swallowed!

An enemy stabbed Mikel with a machine gun, and the warrior screamed and rolled over to push Mikel away, the spear immediately piercing his chest.

Mikel's eyes were red, and he took off his scabbard and slammed it down on his enemy's head...... Smash! Smash! Smash! Smash! Mikel smashed open the heads of his enemies, smashed the hard skulls, and smashed the viscous brains! Then, he raised the red and white scabbard aloft, and the scabbard was about to smash another enemy!

"Squad Leader! Squad Leader! ”

The familiar shouts finally woke up the consciousness of the special operations team leader, and Mikel was stunned for a moment, slowly lowering the stone, and only then did he realize that the 'enemy' in front of him was one of his soldiers.

"We ...... We're out! ”

Mikel surveyed the forest as it had returned to silence, and he fell to the ground.

The fighters of the 1st Squadron and the 2nd Squad of the 3rd Brigade of the Assault Regiment had just experienced a fierce fight. There were only twenty-two of them left, and the blood dripping from the bodies of these twenty-two warriors was everywhere. Their weapons were all cracked with terrible gaps. But they all gathered around Mikel with joy.

"Look! Our central position! One of the team members pointed to the high ground not far away, where their squadron leader and comrades had blocked the open area between the ridge and the central highlands with hardwood and wire fences.

Mikel gasped and shook his head, "It's a pity! Our destination is not there! Our brothers are still working hard in the mountains! We're going back......"

Maybe...... The twenty surviving fighters of the 1st Squadron and 2nd Squad of the 3rd Special Operations Brigade would complain in their hearts about the squad leader's orders, but when they returned to the front line, they were still twenty people, and none of them were left behind, and not a single word of dissatisfaction.

The third brigade of ground strikers is gone!

In the attack launched by the Casev army just now, many of the team members were killed.

Just now, the Kasef army made the heaviest charge since the beginning of the war, and the fighters lost a squadron leader. Lost two more squad leaders. When Mikel and his team returned to the array. The soldiers burst into piercing cheers, and even the wounded soldiers who were lying on the ground crawled up.

"You're the leader, Mikel!"

"When you're now the only officer in the ranks. Instead of leading the fighters and the enemy to fight desperately, you do everything you can to keep your soldiers alive! ”

Mikel suddenly remembered what Hathaway had said to him shortly before when he was at the base. The squad leader looked at his comrades who were in a miserable situation. He really didn't know how to keep his players alive.

"When I came up, I passed through a very secluded woodland. We're going to build another blocking position there! ”

"We ...... We're not going back? A bloodied team member pointed to the central highlands on the mountain.

Mikel tapped the player on the shoulder. "This is our battlefield! Enjoy! ”

The team member smiled wryly, and he turned to the disappointed comrades, "Hey! What are you doing in a daze! Our new captain has given the order. Hurry up and collect all your weapons and ammo, the enemy will be back soon! ”

At 5:12 p.m. on August 14, when the shouting and killing on the right flank ridge had completely calmed down, Jafa . Troon summoned Alf to his main camp.

"Could it be...... Can't you do something for the brothers under the mountain? ”

Arut shook his head, "Jefa, you can also see that the enemy is making mistakes, and they are throwing their soldiers into the battlefield in an attempt to continuously deplete our living forces, and we can only hold the central highlands by maintaining a strong group of forces. If the troops are divided to rescue the mountains...... We weren't familiar with the conditions on the mountain, we ......"

"My lord! The third brigade is back! An officer opened the curtain of the tent with his two-handed broadsword and pulled a disheveled squad member in.

Jafa. Troun perked up as he recognized the squad's face, "Ashyan, is that you?" ”

Ashyan nodded, he almost cried. "My lord, I could have come back soon, but an enemy soldier jumped out of nowhere and knocked me out of nowhere, knocking me unconscious, and I just woke up......"

"Don't mention this! How's it going on the mountain? Alf grabbed the frightened squad.

"On the mountain...... The mountains are full of Kasef troops, I ...... I sneaked out from behind a large bush more than a hundred meters from the right flank front......"

Jafa. Troon looked at the team with a grim face, "You mean...... The enemy is right under our feet! ”

Ashyan nodded hurriedly, "I found it when I broke through!" ”

Jafa. Troon turned to the combat staff officer standing beside him, "Stan, it looks like we're going to find a way to deal with these rats." ”

Stan nodded, and he turned and walked out the door to organize the men.

Ashyan looked at the officers who had brought him in, and then at their commanders, and there was a look of disbelief on his face: "You...... You're not going to rescue the 3rd brigade? ”

Jafa. Troon didn't say anything, only Alf nodded. "The 3rd Brigade has missed the opportunity to retreat. Now that the mountains are full of enemy troops, they can only find ways to protect themselves. ”

"Your Excellency!"

Ashyan suddenly turned to the gloomy-looking Jafa. Troon stood up and saluted, "I beg to return." I am a soldier of the 3rd Brigade, and I want to be with my local commander and comrades, and I officially ask you for orders! ”

Jafa. Troon looked at the determined little special operators, and he slowly returned the salute. "Order the Third Brigade to stand by."

"Yes! The third brigade is on standby! I must convey it! Ashyan saluted again and then turned away without looking back.

Sixty mortars of the special operations artillery squadron, which had been deployed on the central heights of Kasdorf, finally began to roar angrily.

On the ridge on the west side of the riverbed. The Kasef corps of the brigade began to charge in groups, and these armed weapons and shields rushed out of the mountains and forests almost frantically, rushing towards the mountains, and with their agility and mercury, they were the first to rush into the dry riverbed. The squadron of special warfare artillery, which was condescending on the central heights, immediately began to attack at fixed points, and as Suiho said, he established a range of attack for each gun. For the precision of the strength of the blow. Suiho decisively abandoned the salvo, and he instructed the gunners to follow the rule of one bullet and one flower.

The cracked riverbed was filled with smoke from dust condensation under the sun, and the special operations team's artillery fire plowed the riverbed again. In the sound of the fire bursting into the sky. The human body was tossed up and down like a bird, and the mutilated hands and feet sprayed blood foam outward during takeoff. The thick plasma was reduced to particles in the sky under the bombardment of artillery fire. The ground momentum of the cannonballs brings the mountain wind. After a moment, the smell of mixed blood is blown into the mountain forest.

Unlike the left flank, where the guns roared and the fire soared, the hill on the right flank was quiet, and the main peak of Karsdorf was verdant and silent like a green jewel.

The sound of trees falling in the calm mountain forest sounded. The survivors of the 3rd Brigade placed the wounded in the core of the position. Their captain Mikel finally got a moment to relax. Mikel sat at the root of a towering tree. He used his short knife to dig a small hideaway in the thick roots. Then a soldier who was wounded and unconscious was sent inside.

“321…… 322…… 323…… 324...... "After waiting for a long time, the sound of the cannon finally stopped, and one of the team members leaned towards his squad leader. "Chief, didn't you say you could shoot a thousand shells?"

Mikel glared at the kid, "Can you finish all the shells at once?" Mind your own business! ”

The team stepped aside, muttering something he didn't want the captain to hear, but Mikel heard it...... "If the artillery brothers on the high ground know that we are here, they should give the enemy here a few blows." ”

Mikel looked at the quiet forest, he felt that he should send another liaison officer, but he suddenly saw the figures constantly emerging in the forest, he dispelled this thought, he knew that the third brigade at this time could not go anywhere, they had become a scarred and lonely army, maybe ...... The artillery fire should have fallen on his positions, otherwise when would it all be over?

Mikel suddenly moved his foot, and he laughed even harder, it turned out that he had been stepping on the palm of a wounded man, the captain closed his eyes wide for the wounded, and he called one of the team members, "This one has left us too, carry him over there!" ”

Looking at the dry riverbed littered with corpses, Madoni rubbed his red and swollen eyes, and he finally realized that he had made a serious mistake. His opponent is not some noble lord who is accustomed to bullying people, nor is it some imperial army spoiled by smoking, drinking and women!

His opponent is the Cordillera City Defenses, which have risen to prominence in recent years, and are the iron-blooded soldiers who have defeated the orc armies and the underground coalition.

Madoni looked around as the warriors were moving the wounded back to the hills, and the commander of the Cassef Army finally realized that small onslaughts and constant harassment would not do much against this Cordillera army.

This tactic turned out to be incapable of coping with even a single infantry brigade of the enemy.

"Is the pocket sealed?"

A staff officer hurriedly reported: "The enemy has been completely surrounded, and they have no way to escape." ”

Madonie nodded.

He pulled out a pocket watch and looked at the time...... The battle lasted for more than two hours, but he didn't even see any results. Madoni spat fiercely, he was going to change his strategy against the enemy, and strive to set the battlefield pattern with one blow.

Facing the sand table, Jayfa. Troon's brow furrowed into a big bump. To his left were a group of defensive line commanders, and the commander of the special operations team took advantage of a brief break in artillery fire to convene a concise operational meeting.

"The battle we are fighting is one of great disparities and asymmetry."

He raised his head and his gaze swept over the faces of the officers, "Since the day the special operations team was formed, the goal was not to fight like today. However, the significance of today's battle is well known, and we must be nailed here like a magnet to attract a steady stream of enemies to the Sriland Fortress. The longer we nail it, the easier it will be on the lord's side, and the battle has just begun, so we must clarify the purpose of our battle and revise our tactics. ”

"Wait, Commander!"

Alf interrupted the speech of the commander of the special operations team, he liked this senior officer who dared to take responsibility, "But...... I don't think there's anything wrong with your tactics! ”

The deputy commander of the special operations team pointed to the two major theaters on the sand table, "On the left flank, the Kasef army's dynamic assault on the dry river bed has been completely crushed!" At the very least, they left more than a thousand corpses here. And the right wing! There was no movement over there, and our Third Brigade was under siege. But the Kasef army will definitely not take advantage of anything. All this can only be said ...... The ones who made the mistake were the Kasef Army, and if they had not established ourselves in the Central Heights, they would have made a surprise attack with all their troops......"

He looked at his watch, "I'm sure in that case, we'll all already go to see the goddess!" ”

"If my guess is correct! The reason why the Kasef army was quiet...... It's because they're already planning to change their strategy! ”

Jafa. Troun knocked on the central high ground on the sand table, "The Cassef army did make the same mistake as me, they fought too conservatively, first lured my part with rabbits, and then used superior forces to cut off this part from the central position, and then mobilized medium-sized combat forces to repeatedly assault, but they obviously underestimated the combat effectiveness of our army......"

"That's right!"

Suiho continued: "They clearly underestimated the artillery fire of our troops, sixty mortars were enough to block the entire riverbed, and the Kasef army did not launch a feint in the other two directions!" ”

Jafa. Troon nodded, "That's what they're going to do next, a massive attack from the riverbed on the left flank and the hill on the right flank at the same time, maybe ...... It is possible that there is already an enemy lurking near our position. ”

"Your Excellency, give the order!" Alf was the first to ask the commander for orders, and then the battalion of generals raised their arms.

"Adjust your deployment!"

Madoni licked his chapped lips, and he was satisfied to see that the generals present immediately raised their heads and chests, and although the fighting power of the Cordillera army was completely unexpected, they were still convinced that the balance of victory would favor them.
