Chapter Eighty-Nine: Black Clouds Turn Ink
"Good boy, there are so many rabbit cubs." On the top of the second floor of the outpost, squad leader Cai of the third class muttered with a telescope. "Grandpa, I was in the Sultan Escort Engineering Corps, and I only watched a few thousand people......
In the distance, on the mountain path, armor and mage hats are densely packed...... Although they have been forced to abandon all their heavy weapons and baggage in order to be able to survive the natural danger, their morale is not high. But in terms of quantity alone, it is still quite shocking.
"Give grandpa a mortar, and immediately bombard his ......" Squad Leader Cai had already sweated in his hands. Even if the cannon is given, can these two dozen people do it? If all the twenty people are veterans from China, then they can also have a good time to avoid the real and attack the false, and play this enemy to death in front of the pass.
It's a pity that even the leaders of the four squads who organized the defense on the two fronts of B and C at this time were all first-term military cadets. At the beginning, the Second Infantry Regiment, which was not prepared to carry out high-intensity continuous operations like the First Infantry Corps, even had a large number of indigenous grassroots commanders in front of the troops. What's more, these "miscellaneous soldiers" who are idle at the observation posts at various checkpoints only need to face a small group of routs or lost enemy troops in anticipation. Unexpectedly, no one expected that the enemy in the valley would actually have wings.
A few minutes ago, when squad leader Cai was still living a long-point shooting addiction to riding a flying dragon behind the Type 77 anti-aircraft machine gun, the order from above was officially issued -- hold this place at any cost. Although the helicopters of the 2nd Regiment Headquarters would arrive with infantry in an hour at most, if tens of thousands of men were to pour in like a tidal wave, their ammunition would probably not be able to survive the first wave.
"Are you all together?" Beslon, the leader of the fourth squad, was sitting on a small wooden bunker near the second line at this time, looking around at his subordinates. "Ladies and gentlemen! I've just been ordered that Doniva want us to die! โ
All the soldiers present were shocked, squad leader, are you going to rebel? Fortunately, the next sentence dispelled our concerns.
"I'm already dead, what's so hard about dying again? Many of you have never killed anyone, you should be in school, you are working, you still have your parents at home, and you don't want to die. If any of you don't want to die, report it to me! โ
The mountain wind was still blowing the leaves, but there was silence around the bunker.
"Good!" Bethron praised the festival. "If you're lucky, I'll treat you all to a drink when you get back to the rear! Who didn't get drunk I beat his ass! He breathed a sigh of relief, "If you're unlucky, then please meet the brothers at the lakeside cemetery!" โ
The mountain wind was still blowing, and the atmosphere on the battlefield gradually became heavy.
"Leckie and Sliech, follow me. Only three people are needed for this line of defense. Bethlon's next sentence was even more surprising. Others, take up your weapons and move up the mountain! Hold the treehouses and strongholds halfway up the mountain, and remember, as long as you still have a breath, don't let those O mothers bypass this mountain! โ
A column of soldiers quickly burrowed into the forest, and the camouflage color melted into the trees, and once distracted, it was no longer visible. Beslong sighed and took out the Chinese cigarette that Squad Leader Cai had given him when he had just received the order. This thing is really enjoyable, much cooler than Elta's pipes and the double happiness sold in the store. That is, at the moment of life and death, squad leader Cai was willing to throw him a pack and let his colleagues smoke enough.
Before a cigarette could be smoked, a heavy machine-gun sound came from the other side of the hill. "Burst shot!" Beslon, keenly aware of the difference, pulled out his walkie-talkie. "The fourth shift is called the third shift, how is the battle going? How's the battle going? โ
"Here are three sentry posts, and the enemy has dispatched thousands of men to charge! The situation is still under control! โ
General Fayes also gritted his teeth with hatred at this time. The furious shelf at the top of the opposing watchtower can actually break the attacking infantry in half at a distance of thousands of paces, why would the enemy deploy magicians here? Aren't they supposed to be eating and drinking spicy food in the affluent watershed cities right now? Why is it that when you go up to Youerde, and down to yourself who has painstakingly come up with such an ingenious battle plan, you will still kick the iron plate here?
Through the illusion of magic, the general seemed to see the future of the 1,000-strong infantry who were still struggling to charge, the future of this army that had just emerged from the Jedi, and of course his own future. Yourde, the old fox...... Originally, he planned to make a contribution, but he was the first to enter the enemy city, but in the end he was calculated by Youerde.
The people in this formation don't need any magic to see the fiasco in front of the pass. There was not a single person left alive, and even the commander who rushed into the battle formation had one of his arms torn off and fell straight down on the road. There were quite a few people who were defeated alive, and now there were still a few people near the death line dragging their bodies in the hope of escaping, and the cruel enemy magician did not even give them mending the sword......
"Lord Fayes...... We can't get close to the enemy...... "A few soldiers and a centurion covered in blood and strange filth trotted almost weeping through the neatly lined front to Fayรจs.
"Rubbish!" Fayes pulled his wand out of his trouser pocket. "What do you want? A bunch of useless rubbish! The enemy is just a few magicians! No wonder tens of thousands of people in the valley can't break through the defense line held by a magician, the Double Moon Sect doesn't need a waste like you! There is no need for this kind of rubbish that doesn't know how to use magic and doesn't have the courage! The air whip conjured by Fayรจs' wand and his words vented the displeasure and anger of the Admiral.
The whip condensed by the dense air suddenly stopped, and several soldiers stopped gritting their teeth and endured the pain, and watched blankly as Fayes pointed his wand at the centurion. "Please pay for your incompetence." Fayes said coldly.
The centurion was instantly blasted more than a dozen paces away by the close-range magic, and even the strap of his helmet was torn off the ground, and it seemed that he would not survive. Before the sound of the armor falling to the ground had stopped, Fayes ordered in a loud voice: "The main road is too tragic, and now the whole army is obeying my orders and marching from the side of the mountain!" He slowly stared at the centurion who had vomited blood and died with sharp eyes, "If there is anyone who does not charge and escape, he will be executed immediately!" Those who tolerate the escape of their subordinates will be dealt with in the same way! โ
"Tsk, the Lord will lose his temper with the minions." Squad leader Cai also watched this scene with a telescope. It's a pity that the distance is too far, and even anti-aircraft machine guns can't hit the enemy's main position. In the battle just now, the Type 77 anti-aircraft machine gun once again made a great contribution, and any enemy soldier who went within a 1,000-meter range had to think twice before taking every step forward under the threat of the Type 77 plus the point fire of the scope. After entering the range of 800 woods, the 67-type heavy machine guns of the squad also began to exert their power from the first floor of the outpost, and the mere one or two thousand melee infantry could only use their own flesh and blood to consume ammunition.
"What? Seems like going to take a detour? Squad Leader Cai's face changed, and this time it was miserable. Beat the enemy hard, it's not that you won't come. It's only been more than ten minutes...... If you really go all out towards other routes, you may be hanging for an hour. "Comrades, stop picking up shells, unload the machine guns! If they don't come to die, we'll put the machine guns in front and see if they return it! โ
Squad Leader Cai had not yet begun to maneuver here, and the first squad of the Northern Route Army had already rounded the foot of the mountain, and the infantry and magicians were vigilantly pinching their weapons one by one, and marching along the path that only woodcutters and hunters could walk.
"Free Fire!" Listening to that command, the shooters at the top of the canopy took advantage of the terrain and began to shoot downwards in the various tree houses on the C line. The shooters in the treehouse deliberately kept the muzzle of their guns inside, and although the sound of the guns was particularly deafening in the house, Beslone had taught them that hiding the muzzle of the gun in the house would increase their chances of survival.
"Disperse!" Although the accuracy of the third phase and the temporary soldiers was not good at all, the second and third shots still knocked down many mages and infantry who were still standing in the middle of the road. For a moment, fireballs and ice arrows also flew up haphazardly from the bunkers on both sides of the road. Desperate mages find that they can't find the enemy's ambush in the early summer greenery! The enemy, on the other hand, can easily tell them from the terrain, damn it, because of the headmarks and costumes that they usually flock to, representing family and honor!
Leaning on the bottom of the slope, the attacking team of the second line was finally able to advance. At this time, the defenders of the C line also began to face the enemy advancing head-on, and Beslone took the binoculars and watched the perfect ambush on the other side of the hill with Leckie, who was holding five and a half halfs. But what's slightly wrong...... Wait, the attacking team of the second line is climbing up?
"Leckie, you and Slige keep the bunker, blow the whistle if there is a problem!" Beslone couldn't help but say, picking up a heavy machine gun and a backpack full of bullet chains in a wooden bunker, leaving only an empty tripod. If those novices lose the mountainside of the C line, not only will they face huge pressure, then the entire defense line will lose its meaning, and the enemy will march directly from the mountainside to the city below the mountain, and it will be too late to say anything!
"Hurry up, hurry up!" More than 100 kilometers away from the pass, the commander of the third battalion, who was in a hurry, urged the helicopter pilots. Pegasus, which had wings on in the past, seemed to be tired today, and it was still more than forty minutes away from the battlefield.
"You've transported so much stuff...... How fast can a multi-squad, with those strange ammunition, fly? You know, we're transporting helicopters, transporting the wounded! โ
There was a big red cross outside the plane, and it was too late to brush it off -- forget it, anyway, the Western Expeditionary Army didn't know what it meant.
On either side, next to the Red Cross, hatch machine guns appeared in discord, and a similar weapon was mounted on the bolt of the gangplank at the tail. The cold storage and stretcher of the original helicopter, the small operating table were all removed, and the Pegasus, who was treating the sick and helping the wounded, was transformed into a death express.
"Xiao Cai, your father entrusted you to me, but don't fall into Jingzhou!" The battalion commander thought silently in his heart and clenched his fists.
