Chapter 94: It turned out to be an old enemy

Ze deliberately lured Weiss into speaking and had the Norman soldiers outflank him from both flanks, an unscrupulous approach that was emotionally unscrupulous and could even use adjectives like "insidious and vicious." However, for Weiss, the opponent's division of troops in this way gave him various opportunities to break through. In the night, he led his soldiers to maneuver and fight, not only confusing the enemy on the ground, but also making the Norman warships in the sky unable to distinguish friend and foe, and after a few rounds, he killed dozens of Norman troops, and only two of his own soldiers were bruised.

Take advantage of the enemy's illness and ask for the enemy's life. After the call, Weiss took the time to shout to the other side during the transfer, "Don't bother, my brother. On the ground of Lorraine, it is impossible for any invader to defeat the Lorraine! ”

In order to shake the enemy's military morale, these words were deliberately said in Norman - since each is its own master, there is no need to worry about the situation of the other party. After Weiss shouted, it took a while for the Baron alla Scala on the other side to answer, this time in Norman, too.

"You are wrong, my brother, the Norman Empire endured because of its ability to accept outstanding talents from all places and nationalities with an inclusive mind. In our Imperial General Staff, several generals were born outside the territory of the Reich, which did not prevent them from gaining the trust of the royal family and the army, and in Lorraine, more and more people have embraced the idea of Lorraine of Freedom, the real freedom guaranteed by the Norman Empire! Stop being obsessed, my brother, the people you work for will never be able to give Lorraine such freedom! ”

Weiss stopped behind a large tree and replied in Ulster: "True freedom is the freedom of the people to choose for themselves, the spirit of freedom of Ulster, and not the so-called freedom of independence imposed by outsiders!" ”

With that, under the shade of the branches and leaves of the large trees, he fired at the Norman battleship above the woods, and three rounds passed, and he succeeded in reimbursing the enemy with a searchlight. It is conceivable that on the bridge of the battleship, the enemy commander must have jumped like thunder, but this battleship is like a beast blocked from the iron fence at the moment, with no fangs and claws, but it is useless.

Blowing up the enemy's expensive searchlights, Weiss quickly shifted, this time running two miles through the woods and hiding in a ravine. After a while, a group of thirty or forty Norman soldiers passed in front of them, and the Norman battleship climbed a few hundred feet higher, reducing the chance of being shot off, and the illumination effect of the searchlight on the ground was also weakened. Moreover, this time, in addition to hitting the enemy, they also had to get as much ammunition as possible from the enemy to replenish it. Of course, the semi-automatic rifle used by Weiss was of the Ulster standard, and there was no way to use Norman bullets, so in this case he could only "endure the pain". As usual, he took the lead in firing, draining the last three rounds in the magazine, then put the rifle aside, drew his pistol, crawled out of the ravine, and leaped towards the enemy with the help of the trees in the woods.

When the battle began, the Norman soldiers shouted as they fired, and the panic and panic of the guns and hasty shouts reflected their panic and fear, as if they were not fighting ordinary enemies, but a group of terrible ghosts, and this was exactly what Weiss wanted. After approaching the enemy, he deliberately shouted loudly: "One team, two teams assault!" Three teams, four teams outflanked! Annihilate the enemy! Don't let any of them go! ”

At this time, there were only a few soldiers under his command, and the spinach bullets were used up, and there were few bullets left, but when he shouted like this, the pressure on the Normans in front of him naturally increased sharply - the battle was in its third year, and they originally did not understand the other party's language, but after battlefield confrontation and the soldiers and civilians got along, they could more or less understand it, especially this simple and direct combat command. Sure enough, they left behind the bodies of their fallen comrades, threw a few spinach bullets as cover, and hurriedly retreated with the wounded. Weiss didn't tell them about chivalry, he got up and down, and emptied the bullets of his two pistols before he stopped.

The beaten Norman soldiers had just withdrawn, and before reinforcements had arrived, Weiss beckoned the soldiers to come and clean up the battlefield. In the short exchange of fire just now, they killed 9 of the enemy, but only two or three rifles were found, and less than 10 spinach bullets were obtained from these Norman soldiers, but the number of bullets was still relatively large. As for the Normans who withdrew, it seems that they did not leave a single shot left for their opponents.

Even though the spirit is highly tense and the situation is extremely unfavorable, the basic principles of anti-guerrilla warfare have not been omitted. Thinking that Ze, as the military governor of Lorraine of the Norman Empire, actually led such a regiment-sized unit into battle, Weiss became more and more curious, and when the soldiers rummaged through the dead enemy soldiers for ammunition, he dug through the pocket of one of the enemy soldiers and put it in his own pocket.

Just such an opportunity to capture only a small amount of ammunition, disappointment is only secondary, Weiss had to reconsider the next combat operation. Without ammunition, especially those who provide sustained, explosive firepower, it is not only difficult for them to expand their gains, but they can also be bitten by the enemy if they are careless. Therefore, after the transfer again, Weiss observed the situation here as a whole and made the decision to end the battle and lead the team to evacuate. They want to leave, and there is no way to stop the Norman troops who are smearing and catching the blind in the woods, and Ze is a smart man, and if he fails in one move, he will break off the abacus of using family affection as bait, and the two will no longer talk, and the other party will not be able to judge the advance and retreat of the guerrilla advance force through this.

With the strength of a few people, nearly a hundred Norman soldiers were killed and wounded in the middle of the night, and they were not ordinary miscellaneous fish and shrimp, after withdrawing from the battle, the soldiers followed Weiss in the dark mountains and forests quickly, they were a little tired physically, but their spirits were full and high. Because of Ze's appearance, Weiss's emotions are a little mixed, but overall they are positive. The group marched for more than two hours, leaving the enemy's ground forces and flying battleships far behind, when Weiss spotted two green frames in his special field of vision, and he rushed over with his soldiers, and found that they were two fighters who had been formed in the second group of rearguard troops, and learned that they had also exchanged fire with the Normans. In order to cover the wounded in the covering team, some people volunteered to stay behind to block the attack. They did not go head-to-head with the enemy, but adhered to Weiss's guerrilla warfare method and used flexible methods to contain the enemy. However, after all, these soldiers do not have Weiss's "golden finger", they are engaged with the enemy in the dark, and the enemy can also outflank the enemy in the dark, plus the opponent is outnumbered, and there are flying warships to help the battle, a battle, the soldiers who stayed to fight the attack were killed and wounded, and the two of them were also injured, and then the enemy's attention was attracted by the battle in other directions, and then they luckily got rid of the enemy's pursuit, but one of them was injured in the leg, and he couldn't go fast at all with the support of his companions.

It was the second half of the night, about two hours before dawn, but fortunately it had rained the day before, and the humidity in the mountains and forests was quite heavy, and there were already signs of fog. Weiss had the soldiers draw on local materials, make a simple stretcher for their leg-wounded companions, rest for a while, and replenish food and water again - the supplies he carried with him were basically depleted.

The night of fighting and marching was a great drain on energy and physical strength, Weiss was already hungry, and although the canned meat captured from the Norman transport ship was not delicious, it was oily and the portion was sufficient, and a box was quite powerful, but at this time his attention was not on the food at all, but summed up the battle, figured out the enemy's situation, and analyzed the back with a strong sense of responsibility of a commander. While eating, he stopped, took out the documents he had found in the enemy's pocket, and to make sure that the enemy had not caught up, he looked at them by the light of the lighter.

Under a photo full of heroic faces, the soldier's unit number is written, the K4th Infantry Company of the Royal 1st Marine Division......

The 1st Marine Division of the Norman Empire is not the ace unit that ran around with hundreds of thousands of Union troops in the Northern Border Campaign! It turned out to be an old adversary, but their uniforms seemed to have undergone some changes, so much so that he had previously speculated that it was a Norman special operations unit - if measured by the combat effectiveness of the Union Army's special forces, this enemy unit seemed to be almost meaningless, but if it was only the elite of the front-line troops, then their performance and performance would be completely reasonable. They had been outnumbered in the north of the Ulster Free Confederation, but now they had been beaten to the ground by a small force of regular guerrilla warfare troops, and although the environmental conditions and Weiss's unique role were the main factors, he had a faint sense of pride that the enemy's momentum and luck were declining, and that the Union army was just the opposite.

This war has changed direction at a certain inflection point. Perhaps, this time the turn is complete and irreversible!

Weiss held a lighter in one hand, turned the page with his thumb in the hand holding the enemy's soldier's ID, and took a cursory look, this soldier has been serving for six years, he has been in service before the outbreak of the war, and there are seven or eight honor records, it is said that such a soldier should be promoted, at least as a non-commissioned officer - if he is sent to a military academy for training for a year and a half, it is not impossible to be transferred to an officer, but he still stays in this army and continues to be a big-headed soldier who does not even seem to have a position, which seems to be incompatible with the "tolerance" and "opportunity" that Ze said. Was he treated unfairly, or did he voluntarily stay in such a glorious ace unit?

The answer to the question may not matter at all when looking at the war from a strategic point of view, but the answer to the question may contain a lot of important information from a tactical point of view.

Weiss put the lighter in his pocket, along with the enemy's papers, and put the canned food into his stomach in two clicks, then instinctively looked around, and when his gaze met that of a soldier, he saw that the other person was looking at him with a puzzled look. Before the rest time was over, he gathered everyone together, told the story of him and Ze with a calm attitude, and told the soldiers in a firm tone that there is a country to have a home, and he always put the Federation and the spirit of freedom it defends first, and as for the blood and family ties between siblings, if it really came to that point, he would rather let this relationship become a regret for the rest of his life than be merciful.
