"Pay attention to the auxiliary passages on both sides at 3 o'clock, where the devil's special forces will appear. A few of the 12 o'clock directions on the front of the pen www.biquge.info are feintting, just deal with it a little. Focus on the 9 o'clock direction, I suspect that those few are drug devils, defend first and then attack. ”

Before I retreated to rest, I was still arranging my defensive posture. It can be seen that the fighters have gone from being suspicious of my existence at the beginning to longing and relying on me now. Those excited and excited eyes can already say it all.

I should have been happy to be praised by the soldiers, but the indescribable feelings of self-blame and guilt in my heart became stronger and stronger.

I was on the ground of the 11th Regiment, and here, as I expected, it was bound to be the focus of the Devil Marines' attack. And the fate of the 11 regiment, destined to become the rear guard of the troops, had no chance to leave.

They are the ones I have chosen to abandon.

Anyway, I've helped you survive until now, and it's righteous.

I muttered in my heart the excuse that I didn't even believe in myself, while studying the proposed electronic sandbox at the temporary regiment headquarters.

The regimental commander and staff officers were busy explaining to me the latest information and giving me their thoughts. These people used to be superficially respectful to me, but in fact they were not convinced. This is evident in their attitude towards me. Now, it's completely transformed. I think that's why I decided to fight hard with them, and personally led the death squads to fight for lost positions repeatedly.

Although in modern warfare, commanders generally do not personally take risks, and the reasons for this are nothing more than the characteristics of modern warfare, the intensity of the battle, and the influence of personal physical strength. However, this kind of practice of the main general charging forward can still boost morale. I can see that the officers and men of the 11th Regiment now agree with me as a commander.

What would they think if they knew that I actually wanted to abandon them?

The devil's attack was very orderly, they took advantage of the advantage in strength, and did not gather in a narrow starship to storm one place, and the second was to launch an all-round attack from the bow, side, tail, top and bottom of the ship.

In frontal combat, they used the tactic of heavy infantry squads launching a surprise attack in front and light infantry flanks outflanks. In guerrilla harassment warfare, snipers are used as the main firepower output, combined with close attacks by drug-addicted devils. Often, the results are greater than the frontal attack.

The 11th regiment's three flanks were lost, all of which were due to guerrilla tactics. I used my own combat to teach the soldiers how to deal with drug devils. It has been five hours since the battle began, and the role of guerrilla warfare is getting smaller and smaller, and many times the fighters on the positions have been able to repel the attacks of the drug devils with their own strength without me coming forward.

"Sir, with you here, I am confident that I will be able to hold out until the time of retreat."

The commander of the 11th Regiment was a white-faced, dark-faced man named Cox, a colonel. From his sincere attitude, I can see that if I give him a positive response, I will receive a loyal subordinate, but unfortunately he and his regiment are destined to an end.

As soon as I thought of the ugly thing I was about to sit down, I couldn't bear to continue looking at this excited face, and instead focused my eyes on the electronic sandbox.

"Still, I have an immature idea to want.... Belch.... I want the chief to pay attention. ”

"Oh, is it about the devil's attack?"

"No, it's about why they're here."

I looked up at Cox, thinking about what he meant. Just now, suddenly a hidden suspicion was aroused.

Yes, why did the devils concentrate so many cruisers to attack this area. Is it the important location of the area here, along with the key part of the battle formation framework of the devil fleet? Or is it just a coincidence that a huge special fleet happens to be passing by?

My gut tells me that it's neither. Even by reasoning from common sense alone, both of these possibilities are slim to none.

Then the size of the devil's reinforcement fleet is not proportional to the results they can get by actually holding this place.

"I don't think it's worth it to destroy us, or to hold the Barbarian, with such a powerful detachment. What's more, isn't it clear to them that the detachment consisting of 52 receiver cruisers, and the deserving concentrated use of strategic weapons by our main fleet? ”

“......”

If there's one thing I'm thinking right now, it's Cox, and he wakes up the dreamer with a word.

All along, the concept of self-respect has always made me take it for granted that devils target our troops. However, from the perspective provided by Cox, my Marine Corps, even with the Barbarian King Hao and the escort ship group, is not very powerful, and in such a large fleet battle, it is not a worthy existence. Don't look at me, there are more than 20,000 people here, and if a war really starts, at best, it will only destroy two or three battleships, and then it will need to rest. If one of them makes a mistake, it can be severely damaged in the attack on the first-hand battleship, such as the fate of the 5th and 6th regiments.

With such a little combat power, how could it attract the attention of the devils, not to mention that the Barbarian King is at the outermost part of the devil's formation, although it can't be said that it is not important, but it is not the kind of existence that will hurt the muscles and bones if it is lost, and there is no reason for the cruiser group to appear here.

"You're right, the enemy's purpose ......"

The unexpected shaking of the ship's hull threw everyone present to the ground and interrupted me.

Cox hurriedly confirmed the situation with the staff officer, while I put aside my doubts for a moment and turned on the wide-area perception ability to find the source of the impact.

"It's the position of the 7th regiment, and the devils actually use ramming tactics on their own battleships! I couldn't stay here any longer, so I immediately notified the 7th Regiment and said that I and the Awe-inspiring squad would immediately go to increase the number of troops. The idea of the purpose of the devil is very good, I will consider it carefully, and you can tell me directly if you have any new opinions. ”

Hurriedly making arrangements, I took the guard squad to tell the movement of the position of the 7th regiment.

With the help of the point fire of the jetpack, our group jumped to the position of the 7th regiment 2.5 kilometers away.

The 7 regiment was returned two hours ago. I asked them to defend the positions of the original 6th Regiment together with the survivors of the 5th and 6th Regiments. It was relatively close to the bulkhead, and it was indeed vulnerable to impact attacks, but I didn't expect that the devil would forcibly use this tactic regardless of the damage caused to the Barbarian King.

When we arrived, the devils were putting tremendous pressure on the positions of the 7th Regiment with the support of the assault boats, the small-caliber rapid guns on the boats, and the fire of the heavy infantry. Although the 7th Regiment was still relatively complete, and after receiving the additional strength of the other two regiments, the total number of troops was nearly 100 more than the original. However, in the battle of attacking the power room and the bridge, they had their own regiment commander and a large number of elite troops who had participated in the actual battle, and the overall combat effectiveness had already entered the original, and when we arrived, the devils had broken through the first line of defense and started hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers of the 7th regiment.

I roughly estimated the form, and realized that it would be a drop in the bucket to fill the frontal battlefield with just me. Then he turned his attention to the raid boats that continued to provide fire support to the devils.

The first half of the devil's battle boat probed into the interior of the Barbarian King, and the second half remained in space. At the junction of the two ships, a large amount of fast-bonding bubble surface fills the void to avoid the outflow of air.

Finding the target, he used his perception to probe the inside of the assault boat, and the devil did not place a strong force in this position, only one squad as a guard.

The men of the guard squad of the waving ship divided into two groups and attacked from the flanks of the raiding boats. And I was concerned with cracking the raider's warning device before the fighters could move, so that it would turn a blind eye to our approach.

My guard squad is the most elite of the boarding troops. It's not that I've brought the elite soldiers together, but that they've followed me to relieve too many high-intensity battles in a short period of time, and they're still moving quickly toward becoming veterans.

Watching the soldiers with skillful movements after all, I can't help but feel a little proud in my heart, this group of people can be said to be the most deeply influenced by me, if they can leave the Barbarian King alive, they will definitely be able to become the most reliable source of officers in the Marine Corps in the future.

The battle became a non-existent event after the attack boat's access control system failed. There is mental arithmetic and no intention. Although the guards' devil infantry squad tried to put up a desperate resistance, their madness only lasted less than 30 seconds, and when they were flanked from both sides, the last 4 devil soldiers were beaten into a sieve.

We quickly captured the assault boat and set out to control the rapid-fire guns on the boat.

As the orange line of fire of rapid-fire guns repeatedly created a bloody passage in the devil's attack troops, the devil's attack came to an abrupt end, and then the 7th regiment launched a counter-charge and took the lost position in one fell swoop. The devil soldiers suffered greatly under the attack from both sides, and finally abandoned all the heavy infantry, and less than a hundred people retreated towards the stern of the ship.

The cheers of the fighters came from the positions. When I appeared in front of them with the guard squad, we received a warm welcome.

When I came to the regimental headquarters of the 7th Regiment, I directly repeated Cox's doubts to the officers of the 7th Regiment, seeking their opinions.

A staff officer named Rachel asked whether it would be a bitter ploy of the devil's fleet, because they wanted to know the overall defense situation of our main fleet, and it was the simplest and most effective way to find out the firing position of strategic weapons by reversing it.

As the officers discussed, the conspiracy strategy of the devils was revealed in front of me, and it turned out that they wanted to exchange 52 cruisers for the detailed deployment of the entire fleet of our main fleet. Once they have succeeded in obtaining the required intelligence, they will be able to focus on the weak points of our fleet.

I didn't expect my troops to be used.

Now is not the time to be upset, how to find a way to inform them and warn the main fleet is the most important thing. However, in order to avoid the attack of the cruisers, the ship group must be hiding around the war zone, and even constantly changing positions to prevent being surrounded by enemy ship groups, do we really have time to inform the main fleet?

Staff: "Sir! The 3rd Regiment called, and the devils had discovered that the defense area of the original 5th Regiment was a weak point, and a large number of troops invaded the positions of the original 5th Regiment. ”

There was a sudden silence in the headquarters.

The positions of the original 5 regiment were still lost. Although we tried our best to use all kinds of tricks, and sent an experienced force to garrison there, in an attempt to deceive the devils into not attacking there. Since the beginning of the war, this strategy has worked, and so far the devils have been attacking for more than 8 hours in a row, but they have only let go of the weakest link in our defense area.

But the truth was finally discovered by the devil. As soon as they forcibly break through there, our positions will be torn apart in a substantial sense, and all 4 regiments will be in danger of being divided and surrounded.

The final moment came.

"Pass my order and let the 3rd, 7th, and 8th regiments prepare to retreat...... 11 regiments...... Responsible for the aftermath. ”

The herald was that the atmosphere at the regimental headquarters was obviously stagnant, and the sound of someone breathing a sigh of relief could be heard at random.

I gave the order anyway, and it was almost an order to abandon the 11th regiment. Although I was mentally prepared, when I actually gave this order, my heart and mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times, and I wanted to vomit blood uncomfortably, but I finally endured it.

"Sir, Captain Cox wants to speak with you."

The staff officer stared at me with an uncomfortable look, and he must have expected me to refuse to answer.

"Bring in his coms."

I really didn't want to see Cox at this time, I couldn't imagine his expression. I don't have the face to face him, but like his words and this established tactic, it is inescapable, and it is a reality that I must face.

The swarthy face that had once trusted me appeared, except that I saw Cox wearing a mask of indifference.

"Sir, from the very beginning, you planned to let the 11th regiment break off."

It seems to have given up, with a desperate tone, and it hurts to listen to it.

“......”

I could only nod wordlessly, the communication was cut off, and there was silence for a while.

......

Neither sadness nor heartache can stop me from taking action below. The 11th Regiment of Intelligence Reality is completing the task of blocking it. It is difficult for me to imagine how Cox persuaded the fighters of the 11th Regiment to stay on this mortal mission. Saying sorry to them again in my heart, I led the guard squad to set off first.

I didn't want to evacuate as soon as possible, but to control the No. 3 catapult port of the Barbarian King before the devils, and contact the access control there, so that the raider boats and shuttles could be berthed, so that the troops could evacuate as soon as possible.

The battle at Port 3 was quickly over, with the guard squad single-handedly destroying the entire company of defenders. Even with my help, their achievements are enough to be proud of in the Space Army.

Controlling the ejection port, I quickly cut off the connection between the nearby defense system and the main control center. So that we can use the firepower here to help defend this only way out.

The devil's reaction was not slow, and a small group of assault boats was quickly mobilized in an attempt to recapture the catapult port. It's just that they didn't expect us to be able to control the defense facilities here so quickly, and under the effect of the defensive artillery array and the fighting light guide, the 5 Raider Ship and the warriors in it exploded into a dazzling ball of light and turned into a cloud of mutilation and floated around the Barbarian King.

The boarding force of the devils quickly gathered in the direction of the No. 3 catapult gate, trying to close the mouth, but was blocked by the defensive line set up by our retreating troops who had been prepared for a long time. After making sure that the retreat was proceeding in an orderly manner, I left the work of retreating to the commander of the 3rd regiment, who was the first to arrive, and instructed him to warn them of the conspiracy of the devil's fleet as soon as he made contact with the frigate group.

"So, sir, where are you going?"

Like other regiment commanders in the unit, the 3rd regiment commander was full of reverence for me, and I won their respect with practical actions.

However, now, I don't feel worthy of their respect.

“...... I'm going to the positions of the 11th regiment. ”

"But ......"

I prevented the commander of the 3 regiment from continuing.

"I know what you're trying to say, and I'm not going to make an impossible effort. The 11th regiment did not have time to leave. They don't have to be sacrificed, though. ”

"What sir? I don't understand. ”

"Don't worry, I won't surrender with them, in fact, after giving the devil such a big casualty, we are not allowed to surrender."

"So sir...."

I stopped the 3 regiment commander from continuing. You just do what I command, and what happens next is not something you can participate in.

The exhortation of the commander of the 3 regiment was stopped in a tough way. I found the guard squad.

"I'm going to go on a mission that will kill you for nine lives, or ten deaths. I know it's not easy for you to survive until now, and it's okay if you're willing to quit. ”

No one stood up in the face of my gaze.

"Sir, no matter if you go to the soup, we will follow you, please give the order!"

"Okay, then we'll rush to the position of the 11th regiment at once."
