Chapter 7: Bloody Opérez (5)
"How's it going over there?" Zhang Shixin first said this topic after starting the offensive meeting.
Firey, who was questioned, was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and said in a rather helpless tone: "Most of those civilians are quite quiet, but some of them, because they have lost their relatives, are still making trouble. Mr. Carter, in order to avoid confusion, initially resorted to relatively gentle persuasion. However, this method did not help at all, and after a while, Mr. Carter saw that things were getting out of control......"
Zhang Shixin glanced at Fei Lei, knowing that the other party did not report this problem to him because Carter's last action should be regarded as a very drastic kind.
Zhang Shixin was silent for a moment, and then said to Pa Ji, "Is there any news from your brother?" ”
Padge opened her mouth, but she didn't say it in the end.
Zhang Shixin knew very well that the situation last night would not be something that made him too relaxed, and if it wasn't good, a considerable number of people might have died in that temporary camp.
Zhang Shixin slammed his fist on the table, silently thinking: "Why is it so difficult to express your kindness to save it?" ”
Zhang Shixin naturally knew very well that among the civilians he ordered to shoot yesterday were many old and weak women and children who were in tattered clothes and were quite hungry and tired.
But he didn't have any way, could he just retreat, and then give back to the other party those bunkers that didn't have time to blow up?
Zhang Shixin would not do such a stupid thing, he is not a character with some homonym called "fermented bean curd".
Compared with this, Zhang Shixin now feels more and more that he has become a person who dares to do things.
He looked at his subordinates and Pa Ji helplessly, and after a long while, he said: "This matter, try to suppress it as much as possible before we return home, I don't want to be affected by this incident during our war." ”
"Yes, boss, I'll send a telegram to Mr. Carter and Mr. Dresser later." Firet said, sit in his place.
Zhang Shixin looked at the map, and then gritted his teeth and said: "In addition to letting the troops pay attention to protecting themselves, today's battle also has a key issue!" ”
"The problem is: during our offensive, if we encounter an enemy with a weapon or a man in military uniform, we will not take prisoners! To this end, you can coordinate operations and call for fire support when possible. My direct subordinate units have left some armored units as backups, and if your tank destroyer formations lack the ability to counterattack the infantry, they will also be drawn out to protect the artillery units. ”
"In addition, the infantry artillery formation can enter the satellite city to cooperate after controlling a certain area, and the howitzer is for long-range fire support."
Speaking of this, Zhang Shixin took a deep breath and said, "After the battle, I don't want to see a living aristocratic private soldier. Do you understand? ”
"Understood!" ”
"Now go down and prepare, and then in half an hour, get ready for action!"
"Yes! Boss! ”
……
After everyone left the camp, Zhang Shixin glanced at the joint on the back of his left hand that was staring at him with slight redness and swelling, and then revealed a look of "This should be very painful", and then took a deep breath of Sinia, and said angrily: "Don't look at it, this really hurts, but compared to this, those civilians, what they encountered is the most uncomfortable thing." Of course I know, I may say this in search of self-comfort, but don't forget, this is war, something that happens on the battlefield...... There is no mercy to speak of. Mercy is not in charge of soldiers, and benevolence is not in power. I was originally dismissive of this truth, but in my position, I really found that in the face of these things, it is difficult to have room to back down. ”
Zhang Shixin said here, and took out a telegram from his coat pocket: "This is General Shasur's battle report for the past two days. The casualties were terrible, whether it was enemy troops, friendly troops, or a large number of civilians who were trapped in them. Although the attack of these friendly forces was blocked, they had given the same order as me, because they did not want to cause more deaths because of the so-called mercy. ”
"They will be criticized for doing this, but their position dictates that they have to do it, and there is no right to war...... So, they don't want their men to be killed or wounded too much, so they have to do it. ”
"This is wrong, everyone understands this, but if we don't do it, then we might as well go home."
Zhang Shixin spoke louder and louder, but he didn't notice that Sinia quietly looked at the door of the tent......
Outside the tent door, Grelian hugged the red-eyed Paji and whispered, "Don't worry, he's a measured pervert. ”
It's just that after Grelian heard what Padge said, he was speechless:
"Why does this world have to be at war? Isn't it good for everyone to live in peace? ”
Grelian was stunned for almost half a minute before she came back to her senses, because she never thought that as a royal princess, Paji's surname would be so simple.
At the same time, Padgy's question also made Grelian laugh and cry, which was a very simple but most difficult question.
Everyone has different feelings about war, and the answers they can think of are also different.
Time passed gently......
……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................
In the camp where civilians were temporarily housed, Dressy looked at the J.A.M soldiers who were constantly dragging corpses, and shook his head helplessly and resentfully.
He was not resentful of Zhang Shixin's instructions to Carter, nor was he resentful of Carter's cold-bloodedness, but resentful of his own powerlessness, resentful of the culprit who led to all this.
Sure, he can have a clear conscience, but in his true identity, he is one of those people......
Even if he was a great nobleman in the past, but after knowing the truth, he knew that this country had really reached the point where if it didn't perish, God couldn't see it.
He could understand the bad emotions in the eyes of Carter, Perez, and even most of the J.A.M. soldiers looking at him.
He was also able to understand Zhang Shixin's hint that Carter could use force to suppress it in an emergency.
But he couldn't understand that most of those courteous and extraordinary nobles were despicable and filthy existences.
He revealed his identity yesterday in the hope that he would be able to salvage the situation, but if it weren't for a few J.A.M. soldiers who saw the opportunity quickly, he would have become a typical example of those civilians who would have exploded their grievances and killed them alive.
He even remembered the words of an old man who roared at him: "If it weren't for your rotten nobles, we wouldn't have lost our most precious thing, and you all deserve to die!! ”
Padge asked him last night if anything was in danger, and he didn't know what to say, and he should have said, he didn't know if that kind sister would not be able to withstand such a blow when she knew about such a thing.
"Come, let's have something to eat. You've been dealing with something like this all night, and you're hungry too. Carter handed a lunch box to Dress, who took it, did not eat, but after a while, said a question that Carter did not know how to answer.
"Mr. Carter, is the country really at the end of its rope?"
Carter didn't speak, but gently put the spoon down, and after a long moment said, "Let me tell you a story." ”
"More than twenty years ago, a teenager who had just entered a military school was determined to defend the country."
In more than ten years, he has ascended to the position of major general step by step with his own ability. He thought that he would finally be able to contribute his abilities to the country he loved. ”
"He took a leave of absence to go home and was ready to let his family know that he had finally become a general."
However, when he returned home, he was greeted by no relatives. Instead, a neighbor dragged the middle-aged man into an alley and told him that he was leaving now, and that his family had all been caught a year ago for 'offending' the aristocracy. ”
"He's not leaving, he's going to have to figure out what the hell is going on."
"It turns out that the heir of an earl's family galloped in the middle of the city and almost bumped into the middle-aged man's niece, or his brother-in-law saw the opportunity quickly, I am afraid that his daughter would have died under the horse's hooves."
"But the horse was frightened, and threw the heir under the horse, and his legs were crippled."
A few days later, the Earl's family took away several of the middle-aged people's relatives, and the Earl, in front of his son, knocked off both of his feet and threw them in a cart near the wolf's den...... Before they left, a cut was made in each of them. ”
"After the middle-aged man learned the details, he used his identity to get a certain amount of weapons and ammunition and started revenge."
"It took half a year for the middle-aged man to have the opportunity to kill all the people in the Earl's family, and then silently stood in the center of the Earl's manor, silently waiting for the moment of death."
"For that middle-aged man, since the blood revenge has been avenged, what is the point of his life?"
"Eventually, when a group of militiamen spotted the middle-aged man, he fainted from weakness."
When he woke up, he found that he was not dead, but in a prison. While chatting with him, a fellow inmate asked the middle-aged man how did you get in? ”
The middle-aged man did not hide it, but said what he had done. As a result, he gained the respect of most of his fellow inmates in the cell, as well as some of the prison guards. ”
"A few years have passed, and the middle-aged person has come into contact with more and more people, and he found that there are many people who have similar experiences to him, and at this time, he realized that the country has been completely rotten in essence."
He didn't think about using his military position to avenge himself, but he was unwilling to drag his friends into this quagmire. So, a few years later, the middle-aged man who concealed his identity became a hard laborer. ”
He didn't know why he hadn't been sentenced to death in the first place, but the middle-aged man was satisfied with what happened next, because he saw a person worthy of his life's follow.
……
Carter said this, gently putting down the lunch box, ready to step out of the tent.
Unexpectedly, Dressers said a sentence behind his back: "Is that the protagonist Mr. Carter?" ”
Carter didn't answer, but turned to Dresser and said, "Maybe, because I'm not the same person I used to be...... So are you, Mr. Dress......"
Dresser looked at Carter's background, thoughtful.
……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................
"Resist !!" A low-ranking aristocratic private soldier officer snarled at his men.
However, he was stunned at this time and discovered a situation, that is, when did he become a single commander?
He was desperate to figure out what was going on, how his men were lying in pools of blood all at once.
Of course, he soon found an answer that made him die deadly:
I don't know when the buildings on the periphery have been completely lost, and the inside has been occupied by dense infantry.
And his subordinates were killed at once by snipers who he didn't know how many people there were.
There is no way to do this, because he has set up light anti-aircraft artillery positions on the streets according to orders, and it is strange that those snipers don't kill you first.
Then, the junior officer noticed an unbearable tearing pain coming from his waist, and then he was surprised to find out how he seemed to see his own feet......
A J.K.M. soldier wordlessly poked a "head-grabbing" summoner on the shoulder, who glanced at his allies and said suspiciously, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"......" The soldier shook his head, and then thought to himself, "I won't talk about head-snatching, but your thing is too bloody,"
However, the soldier then smiled bitterly, compared the G43 semi-automatic sniper rifle in his hand with the M78 that the summoner was shooting on the windowsill, and said speechlessly: "It's really incomparable, it's like the comparison between the low frustration and the tall rich and handsome......
The summoner naturally didn't know what his comrades were thinking, so he quickly looked for the next target, and then saw an enemy soldier relying on the cannon shield behind a battle defense gun shield with a caliber of about 50mm, and was firing at the infantry on the street.
"......" He quickly aimed the crosshairs at the opponent's head, which was slightly exposed by the cannon shield, and when he was about to pull the trigger, he found an E-50M appearing in the scope, quickly blocking the crosshairs, and then quickly left the crosshairs, and then left the area of the scope.
This scene only appeared in the scope for less than two seconds.
The summoner sniper looked at the battle defense cannon that had been crushed into a pile of flat iron blocks, and a track mark mixed with meat mud, and couldn't help but roar: "Y, don't take such a head-grabbing thing!" Depend on! ”
The E-50M did this, of course, not to kill a soldier who posed no threat to it, but to support the troops in front.
Because while listening to the communication, the messenger heard a communication from an enemy artillery position on another street requesting reinforcements, so they rushed to help.
However, more than ten seconds later, the signal soldier listened to another piece of communication, and he said as he listened:
"There are artillery positions consisting of several 150mm and one howitzer with a caliber of no less than 203mm ahead!"
The more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, after the communicator finished speaking, he looked out through the turret periscope, and suddenly his face turned green with fright:
It's a few cannons, and it's a 240mm tube...... Belch......
The commander looked at it fixedly, and then saw that the 240mm howitzer actually adjusted the muzzle of the gun.
It is clear that the target is his E-50M.
"I'm !! Reversing!!! ”
The driver couldn't see what was happening, but the commander's instructions made him brake subconsciously, and then quickly pressed the accelerator in reverse.
It was true that the E-50M was targeted, but the horizontal steering ability of these guns was also too poor, and it was not until the E-50M disappeared around the corner for more than two seconds that the muzzle was turned.
The opposing gunners may have wanted to blind a shot, or they may have wanted to sputter the E-50M with high-powered shells, in short, the opponent opened fire.
A large crater almost 7 meters wide appeared in front of the E-50M crew.
The crew even heard the sound of flying masonry and some hard clods of earth, mixed with the fragments, hitting the armor plates, and they couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Subsequently, more than a dozen 150mm shells flew over, smashing a series of craters.
Of course, the crew knows very well that after so many hits, the gods will be finished, especially the 240mm howitzer, even if it is lined on the side of the E-50M, it can't stand this thing.
Lined armor is able to effectively defend against almost all shell attacks, but it is also scored caliber.
Not to mention that they added a 30mm lining, that is, a 100mm lining, for the sides, completely protected against 240mm howitzers, although the power of energy stone shells is not as powerful as TNT charge shells, however, it is quite easy to blow them up.
"Do you want to go out and get a handful?" The driver suddenly said the offer.
"Don't pull us if you want to die, God knows how fast the other party's shells will be reloaded...... Wait a minute......"
"The other side is loading shells, the other side is loading shells!" The correspondent listened and spoke.
The commander glanced at the gunner and loader, and finally nodded......
The E-50M, which had retreated more than 30 meters to the middle of the street before stopping, quickly restarted its engine, and they risked their lives to take out the opponent's 240mm howitzer with a spirit of seeing death as if they were at home.
It's a pity that the sky is not as good as people want......
When this E-50M has not yet rushed out of the streets. I heard a vibration from the ground that was different from the vibration of the car.
Then, the communicator heard a familiar voice: "Well done guys, you have killed the target, the other side has suffered heavy casualties, and the other side has suffered heavy casualties!! ”
The E-50M crew suddenly felt the urge to crush the reporter into a pulp.
……
The battle had been raging for almost an hour by this time.
Zhang Shixin's Elven Dragon Security Company didn't spend much effort to tear apart the outer defense line laid out by the private troops of the nobles of the Osville Empire who defended this satellite city.
Zhang Shixin knew that the next battle would be more and more difficult. (To be continued.) )
