Originally, Rishi had a big opinion about Zhang Shixin's plan to use the city of Huros as a place of engagement, but Tremi himself was a retired veteran who had experienced the war, and he knew that even if there were more of them, they would not be the opponent of a whole reinforced armored division in the field.

It's just that he is a native of Huros, except for the period when he served in the regular army, he did not leave Huros for more than a month in a row.

No one wanted their homeland to fall into a sea of fire, but for Zhang Shixin's proposal, he knew that this was the best defense plan, so he could only keep his silence.

He then arranged for his militia to enter the various points of the city, relying on the fortified houses for defense.

"It's a pity, after this battle, even if you win the beauty, you don't know how long it will take for this beautiful city to regain its original appearance."

Standing on the rooftop of the town building, looking down on most of the city's buildings, Tremi sighed silently, and when he saw that the lights were still showing the lights of the scattered houses, Tremi shook his head and sighed: "As Mr. Zhang said, since there are people who stay here and wait for death, they can't care about it." ”

And he also shuddered at the young man's ruthlessness, because when they were discussing countermeasures, the young man did not hide his murderous intent:

"If the other side uses prisoners or people you know or even know to attack the core line of defense I have set up, my men will shoot. I hope you will do the same, Mr. Colonel, because your family is also irreversible. ”

Thinking of the young man sitting outside the building in the tank directing the battle, Tremi couldn't understand why a man had such a gentle and even childlike side, after all, his little daughter rarely talked to strangers.

"Perhaps, a cruel kindness from above?" Tremi shook his head and continued to observe the situation around him.

Zhang Shixin was also waiting for the arrival of the enemy, but when he heard the messenger relay that the other party was arranging a combat position with 12 155mm heavy guns, he was not calm:

"Relay our artillery right away. Knock each other out first! ”

Zhang Shixin's order was quickly conveyed, but after more than ten seconds, both the "Wasp" self-propelled gun and the "Cricket" self-propelled gun said that they were powerless and that the range was too long.

The long-barreled 128mm howitzer of the No. 4 self-propelled gun was able to cover the enemy's artillery positions, but the distance was too far, and the shelling dispersion error exceeded 40 meters.

An artillery strike that exceeds 20 meters above the target can be considered blind fire, let alone more than 40 meters...... Zhang Shixin thought of one word, blind.

But remembering that the opponent's twelve heavy guns could change the tide of battle, for example, a few fire salvos, if they were lucky, they could scrap more than one of his tanks.

Even his No. 4 H-......

He didn't dare to play this kind of gamble, so he gritted his teeth and asked the other party to set up the artillery position, and immediately counterattacked.

……

After listening to the information that the reconnaissance vehicle in front of him reported that Huros City was the same as Carretton, and that there were almost no people, he asked several officers around him: "Could it be that the other party has given up Huros like he has given up Carreton?" ”

"This is impossible, Lord Count, because Huros is an important pivot in the battle line of the Royalist Army's Southeastern Army. If it weren't for the fact that the other side really had no troops available, otherwise, Huros could be regarded as a heavily defended city by the royalists. This is an important opportunity for us to capture Huros. A colonel said from the side.

In fact, Mukar is not very interested in the city of Huros, and what he cares about most is the blue-haired princess.

So he asked Caotis directly, "Can you still be sure that the princess is in the city?" ”

Caotis shook his head, then said, "I don't know this very well, after all, we haven't received any information from the city since the evening. It's just that the details of the road points on the east and west sides have not found the passage of the convoy. ”

In fact, since four o'clock in the afternoon, Mukar has had all the information in his hands that Caoutis fabricated.

"This means that the princess is very likely to ...... What?! Hearing a violent explosion from behind, Mukar looked back and saw a soaring blue flame mixed with splashes of metal, lighting up the night sky.

……

"Well played! We hit each other's shell boxes! The correspondent quickly relayed what the armored vehicle had seen, and Gulles smiled slightly and gave Kowi a thumbs up.

"Reloaded!! The loader shouted loudly, then twisted to the side, tilting his head over his ears......

"Bang", with a cannon sound and a burst of fire from the muzzle, Kewei quickly opened the valve, fading out of the yellow and clear copper shells, and a group of people quickly passed the rear armor plate that could move up and down freely, which was now placed on the ground, and ran to the open-top warhead of the No. 4 self-propelled gun to carry out their work......

After about 12 seconds, the loader stuffed a fully loaded 128-mm shell into the barrel, closed the valve, and shouted again: "Reloaded!! ”

……

"Where's the shelling?!" Looking at the loud or small explosions that came one after another, Mukal roared a little dumbfounded: "Don't those who take the money and don't do anything know that Huros has heavy artillery?" Immediately let the artillery bombard Huros! I'm going to let them taste my awesomeness!! ”

However, when an officer reluctantly ran a few steps to convey the order, a blue fire that rushed into the sky was again followed by the sound of a large or small 155mm howitzer shell, which appeared in front of Mukal's eyes.

A few minutes later, the officer came panting, pointed in the direction of the artillery position, and said: "The artillery position is empty, and the whole position is almost in shambles. Although there are still a few that look like they can still be used......"

Before the officer could finish speaking, the grim-faced Mukar drew his rifle and shot the officer in the head.

After the "ping" gunshot, the officer's eyes were full of disbelief and anger, and he fell to the ground unwillingly......

"A bunch of waste...... Now give me offense!! I want to see Princess De Perry in front of me before dawn tomorrow!! Of course, you are not allowed to be too rough. As for her two companions, you can play with them if you like. Mukar, who put away his pistol, knew that his heavy artillery unit had no hope, so he simply turned his heart and let his troops attack in a big way.

"Also, bring those people with you. Maybe it can play a good role. A smile appeared on Mucar's face.

Caotis, who was running towards his medium tank, seemed to casually look at the sides of the road, and then looked at the inconspicuous but equally unreasonable grass behind the grass of a forest path in the bright moonlight, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Where are such low branches behind the grass...... However, I don't think I need to worry too much about this plan, although the disparity in forces is very large, but if the ...... 'Capani's hungry wolf' is also there, I believe he has found a way to make up for his weakness. It depends on whether the troops from the west can appear in time. ”

Before burrowing into the turret, Caoutis glanced at Huros silently, and smiled meaningfully.

Ten minutes later, as more and more tanks and armored vehicles, as well as many infantry following behind, entered Huros, the city's defenses immediately turned their guns on the streets.

"Smack", a gunfire mixed with the roar of the engine, cut the prelude to the defensive battle, burrowed into the body of a noble rebel infantryman, and a bright red blood flower appeared on his chest.

After the soldier fell to the ground with a scream, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and a rapid loss of vitality, as if he heard more gunfire mixed with the roar of the engine and the sound of footsteps.

After a few moments, he twitched slightly, and his open eyes lost the brilliance they should have......

However, more and more people followed in his footsteps and lost their lives, because this is war, a war to the death.

……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................

The fighting was fierce, although it is said that the militia forces inflicted some casualties on the invaders in a short time. But with the complete uprooting of the fighters from one stronghold after another, the outlying areas of the town gradually fell into the hands of the enemy who had invaded their homeland.

Teremi knew this was going to happen, but there was nothing he could do, he didn't want his children from his hometown to die on the battlefield where they deserved to die, and they should die peacefully decades later, when their children and grandchildren were on their knees.

But there is no way, he is also a soldier, and his young militia members are also soldiers.

As the fighting approached, you could even see the light of some trucks that had been blown up by grenades.

However, after a while, the gunfire gradually thinned out, which made Teremi, who was observing the battle, feel very ominous.

Half an hour later, a large number of people in all kinds of clothes, even some militiamen who had been disarmed and driven into it, and some old people and children, appeared on a road that led directly to the town building......

In and behind them, a large number of rebel troops slowly advanced and then entered the house to search......

After a while, some of the militia were disarmed and pushed into the crowd by the rebel infantry......

Trami watched the advancing stream of people in the telescope, and his foreboding was confirmed, he shook his head helplessly, he knew that Zhang Shixin would definitely order an indiscriminate attack......

He didn't want Zhang Shixin to do this, but Zhang Shixin had no choice......

"Pap" "Pap" "Pap" "Pap" ......

After hearing dozens of gunshots, Tremi, who forced himself to look down, noticed that the civilians in front of him did not fall much, but the rebel soldiers who were mixed in the crowd disappeared one by one......

Tremi knew that it was the tactical role of the snipers arranged by Zhang Shixin, and he couldn't help but be amazed, because dozens of smart people saw his chance to escape for their lives, and ran towards the alleys on both sides of the street.

At this time, a tank in the back fired a shell at the crowd, and after killing and wounding several people, the crowd began to rush forward......

"......" Tremi hung down his hand holding the telescope weakly, and then shook his head gloomily: "It's over......"

As if to verify Tremey's words, a dozen MG-34s of their own size were hidden from the dark windows or terraces on the streets, and let out a series of high-pitched gunshots of their own, as if summoned by death......

The people running forward in the streets were constantly reaping their lives by the dense web of bullets, and the few people who wanted to storm the houses were reaped by the soldiers guarding the corridors by a shuttle of MP-38 bullets.

The crowd let out their own screams and fell down the street, groaning in the street except for a few who had fallen in pools of blood and did not immediately lose their lives as the Heavy quickly changed the cartridge box. There was not a single living person, and a large number of corpses almost filled this section of the street.

This was followed by the same scene on several other streets......

……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................

"Can this fail? I didn't expect the other party to come to a ruthless role, but it wasn't that there was no gain at all, at least it consumed a lot of ammunition from the other party. After the information that his tactics had failed, Mukar Street spread his hands indifferently, and then issued a new order: "Since that will not work, I have to attack." ”

……

"......" Zhang Shixin saw another section of a few streets, and the corpses everywhere were also uncomfortable. It's just that he really doesn't have a choice.

The most fearful thing about defending the city is to drive people to attack the city, but if you are ruthless, this trick has no use at all except for consuming ammunition.

"Are you sad?" Sinia asked.

"It's not sad, it's helpless, and many of them don't deserve to die under my orders. Since he was driven away, he must have the consciousness of being killed by his own people. Soldiers are not gods, and they also have things that they can't do. Zhang Shixin thought silently in his heart.

He also saw the old and weak women and children in the crowd, but in this case, they ...... It's the enemy.

Although they show up as harmless white dots on the tactical map, there are times when white dots are more harmful than red dots.

"You've done what you can, after all, those sniper rifles aren't cheap. With your last name, would you buy so much at once? Sinia relieved Zhang Shixin, because she knew that Zhang Shixin was actually very uncomfortable.

"Maybe, I just thought about what was going to happen, so I had to do it. This is often more frustrating than an unexpected situation. Zhang Shixin sighed helplessly.

Although he doesn't care about public opinion or anything, some things do happen, and they are often not so easy to accept.

Zhang Shixin is not a human being, he is also a flesh-and-blood person.

"Commander, the enemy has officially begun to attack!!" Bremer, the driver, shouted loudly.

Zhang Shixin's clenched fist loosened, and then shouted loudly: "All units are ready to fight, the firing distance is 300 meters, and the artillery camera is used for fire support!! ”

With the sound of a cannonball being loaded, an elven dragon on Zhang Shixin's shoulder saw a little bead of blood dripping on Zhang Shixin's right arm holding the armrest......

……

The progress of the rebels after receiving the order to attack was very slow, not only because the occasional large-caliber artillery shells that came from nowhere directly damaged the combat vehicles, and even affected some infantry and made them frightened, but also because the disc-shaped objects that flew out of the black windows from time to time, as long as it was close to the tank or armored vehicle, then the fate that awaited the vehicle was at least seriously damaged.

As for the infantry and the trucks, they simply could not rush through, and the driver and the infantry who were exposed outside the unprotected area were knocked down from time to time by the occasional "snap" of rifle fire. Although it is not said that every shot will be missed, when several rifles that do not know where to hide are aimed at you together, then the fate can be imagined......

Therefore, without counting on infantry huddled behind bunkers or lying motionless in piles of corpses, armoured forces alone could not launch an effective offensive.

Time passed slowly.

After Mukar received the telegram that the attack had been frustrated again, he roared angrily: "Attack, rush to me, and each of you will be given 20 gold coins at a time!" ”

Twenty gold coins can buy a nice little house in a small town or a happy end of time.

However, the officers who received the news all smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't want to attack, but I can't attack it." ”

That's not what the soldiers thought, though......

A large number of tanks and armored vehicles quickly started to move, and after accepting a certain amount of losses, they quickly rushed through that period of purgatory of blood and iron.

Massive infantry units also rushed through the street, which they would never forget.

On the clean street ahead, there are constant traces of bloodied tracks, tires and even boot soles......

The infantry rushed into the houses and fought fiercely with the sniper defenders inside the houses.

At the beginning, these elite infantry of Zhang Shixin easily blocked their assault on the house position.

However, as the battle migrated, the weapons used by these infantry to block the armored units gradually ran out, and the machine guns that focused on slaughtering the infantry also ran out of bullets or the three barrels could not withstand continuous fire and were destroyed.

The sniper has long run out of bullets, and now he is holding an MP-38 submachine gun, fighting with his companions who are less and less helpful, fighting with the enemy from floor to floor, house by house.

……

Zhang Shixin didn't have much time to pay attention to at this time, and he didn't expect to completely resist the situation outside the enemy's core defensive circle, because the enemy's armored forces had already rushed into his intended firing range.

"Shooting !!"

An armor-piercing shell then squeezed the shell through the barrel of the cone-bore gun, and the shell flew at high speed and straight in a short time, quickly burrowing into the hull of a Wal-22 light tank.

But the other party's car only shook a little, and then it was still moving forward......

Before the No. 4H finished loading the shells, the 48-fold long-barreled 75 gun of the No. 4 F2, which was located behind the side of the No. 4H, also let out a roar.

A 75-mm armor-piercing shell went straight into the opponent's turret......

Seconds later, the turret of the Wal-22 light tank was blown off, randomly falling a few meters to the left rear, and the turret of a rebel soldier who could not dodge was crushed into meat sauce.

Zhang Shixin didn't have time to thank Auburn, because he saw a tank that looked weird but stood out in a vote of Wal-22 tanks among the tanks that came one after another, which attracted his attention.

He quickly pressed the turret rotation button and said to the gunner, "Prioritize the larger one, the loader, and prepare for the heat." ”

"Boom", the shell flew towards the target again, it should have hit the head of the opponent's hull, but there was no movement.

Zhang Shixin knew that although this AP was hit, it jumped.

"It's okay, I'm not afraid that the heat won't kill you." A few seconds later, a heat shot came out of its chamber, and after a while, the opposing tank stopped moving after advancing some distance......

When the No. 4H continued to attack another target, Zhang Shixin saw in the periscope that the top cover of the tank was pushed open, and then grabbed the perimeter of the top cover with one hand, and a person stretched out his head, but then he was discovered by a sniper who was placed in a town building......

After an indistinguishable "snap" mixed with various sounds, a blood flower erupted from the man's skull, and then slid back into the turret along with the hand......

………………………………………… Dividing line ......................................................

At five o'clock in the morning, Mucar, knowing that he had not yet captured the town building, was furious again, and at this time, there was no reserve except for his own armored company, and his and Kao'utis tanks.

And even the new heavy assault gun NTH-34-155 assault gun company, which he felt was too expensive, nine of which were completely wiped out, he really had no hole cards to play.

He gritted his teeth and had to enter Huros as a reserve with the last 11 tanks of his own.

……

Mukar can still be regarded as a bit of a reserve, but on Zhang Shixin's side, in addition to artillery and sufficient shells, Zhang Shixin's artillery shells that can be used on the battlefield are about to run out......

De Perry's infantry guards were almost all killed, and the few anti-aircraft guns were also a pile of scrap metal.

Although it is not that I didn't think about letting the No. 3 assault gun come in to support, but what is the use of a tank coming in?

The two tracks of the No. 4H type were broken, and Zhang Shixin did not let the crew risk climbing out of the car for maintenance, or almost no one repaired it.

Bremer lay in his position, gasping for breath, as did the loader, but he was unconscious......

The gunner died in the line of duty by a high-explosive shell of a self-propelled assault gun that Zhang Shixin did not recognize.

And he wasn't much better, his ears were still buzzing, and she saw that the other party had squeezed out a path in a pile of tank wreckage, pointed the gun barrel at them, covered his ears, and the distance was relatively far away to end up in this better end, as for Bremer and the communicator, the loader, were also seriously injured, but he used the first aid kit on the communicator.

The artillery was also damaged at that time, and Zhang Shixin also repaired the artillery with small universal parts.

"If you go on like this, you're going to die! Why don't you run inside the house? You've let everyone else run in. Hinia said puzzled.

"Nothing, because I am the only one who can fight......" wiped his nose and saw the blood on the back of his hand, Zhang Shixin shook a few times and his head was still a little dizzy. Shaking from the back of the commander's position, he lifted the last few heat shots onto the armor floor full of bullet casings.

It was indeed he who was able to fight in the end:

The Stalker's crew was also reimbursed by two of those ghostly self-propelled assault guns, and all of them died in the line of duty, except for Commander Andiel, who was seriously injured and unconscious.

Type 3H was destroyed, and the entire crew was killed.

As for the No. 4 F2 type, I don't know if it's good luck or bad luck, the crew is fine, but the artillery barrel was broken twice, and Zhang Shixin didn't allow them to risk repairs, so he had to take his own weapon and did his best to rescue Andil from the coma and retreat into the town building......

"Commander, I'll be your loader." Correspondent Hamel said with tears in his eyes.

"No, you need to contact the artillery to provide effective support, this is an order!" Zhang Shixin said as he opened the repaired cannon door, and then picked up a heat and stuffed it into the chamber.

And on the periphery of the town building square where the No. 4H model is located, the wreckage of hundreds of tanks and combat vehicles almost blocked the space more than 100 meters away from the No. 4H type. And in some corner positions, there are also a lot of tank wreckage.

As for the enemy's infantry? There may be some hiding, but there is a lot of damage in the town building during the battle, and there are still sufficient defensive forces, Zhang Shixin is not too worried about this problem.

The burning wreckage of the tank made it difficult for Zhang Shixin's tactical map to have undetectable blind spots, so all he could do now was fire shells at the enemy.

……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................

"How far is it?" On a mountain road west of Huros, due to Huros's urgent call for help, Gignas had to march in a rapid formation with 38 KTM-35 tanks that could still move, as well as a large number of armored vehicles loaded with soldiers carrying only enough ammunition for a battle.

After half the night's drive, six more tanks were out of line due to engine or suspension failures.

But Gignas didn't care so much about them, and continued on his way.

"General, we can get to Huros by crossing this road!" The communicator opened the map and replied.

"Hurry up, then!" Gignas was anxious.

……

"Lord Earl, there are too many obstacles ahead! We can't get by! The driver took a look at the wreckage of the tank, which was full of damage and was no longer moving, making it difficult to move an inch, and couldn't help but report it loudly.

"Let the tank in front of me squeeze through! You idiots!! Mukar also saw that, but he didn't give up.

With the left and right collision of a leading tank, a small passage also appeared.

It was only when it rushed to the location of the square on the map that the commander of the tank was stunned by the sight in front of him, because most of the wreckage of the destroyed tank was in front of him.

And when he saw a tank outside the town building, slowly turning its turret and aiming its gun at his tank, the commander hurriedly shouted, "Stand back!! ”

But before the driver could react, he saw the barrel of the tank flash in flames.

Immediately, the driver was ready to reverse, but the commander heard a small "ding" sound, and at the same time, a scorching air flow quickly enveloped his body......

Zhang Shixin opened the cannon door, and after the bullet case faded, he bent down again to pick up a heat and stuffed it into the barrel.

He felt his mouth salty, and he knew his injuries were getting worse, but he quickly locked the gun door. Move your body to the gunner's position and sit.

After a while, he saw another tank appear, and while aiming at the other party, he shouted in his loudest voice now: "Let the artillery shoot saturation more than twenty meters behind the position where the tank appeared just now!" Ahem......"

After the "bang", another tank was motionless after moving forward for a while, and Zhang Shixin stood up again, walked behind the gun and opened the gun door, faded out of the shell, bent over to look, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Is the last one?" ”

The moment he pulled the gun door, Zhang Shixin seemed to feel that everything he saw had become two shadows, he hurriedly ran to the gunner's position, sat down staggeringly, and put his eyes behind the scope.

He saw a tank rushing out of the blazing street, but it had split into two blurred shadows.

"Is it really the limit?" Zhang Shixin thought to himself, but he still pressed the electronic trigger button......

Before losing consciousness, Zhang Shixin seemed to see a glimmer of morning light......

And in the tactical map, which is getting more and more blurry in my mind, there seem to be more and more green dots.

……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................

"Caoutis, why do you say I failed, I can't fail! No way!!! Two kilometers south of Huros, by a river, Mukar, who was sitting on a rock, looked at Kaoutis standing in front of him with his head bowed and couldn't help but roar.

It's just that he found that the person in front of him just said lightly: "Let's do it." The members of Kaoutis's tank opened fire on the unprepared members of the Mukar crew.

"Pong", "Pong", "Pong", "Pong"

"Pong" ......

The last shot was fired by Cautis into Mucar's right palm.

Holding his right palm that was pierced by Kaoutis, whom he had always trusted, Mukal calmed down instead: "Why? ”

"Because, I am the orphanage you slaughtered eight years ago, the avenger of everyone. Including the sister Kartina who did this in anger after you couldn't flirt with her, I was their last relative in this world. With that, Caotis raised his pistol and aimed it at the forehead of the stunned Mukal, pulling the trigger.

"Pong" ......

Mukar fell to the ground on his back, a trail of blood spilling from the bullet hole in his forehead.

Revenge, I finally got revenge...... Caoutis looked up at the sky with tears streaming down his eyes.

Then he said to the members of his crew, "Let's go, all of you." Go and do what you want to do. ”

"What about you? Mr. ”

"I ...... I don't know, but I want to repay someone for their kindness. Maybe we'll see you again later. In addition, except for weapons, throw away everything on your body, everything that is related to the army, remember. With that, Caoutis turned and walked towards Huros.

Looking at Cao'utis's background, several people followed after glancing at each other......

……

"General, we couldn't catch up with each other." A man with the rank of major jumped out of the tank and gave a military salute to General Giannis in front of a tank with dozens of shell scratches on the hull, covered with large or small bullet casings all around, and broken tracks at both ends.

"We don't have to worry about one or two lost dogs, but if you were asked to fight this battle, would you be sure that you would hold on until now?" Giannis said with emotion: "He is a very courageous person, although his reputation is not very good, but it cannot be denied that he is very good and tenacious. ”

"General, there is a man who wants to meet you. He said he was your student eight years ago. A herald came up and saluted.

"Was my student eight years ago? Did he say what his name was? Gignas wondered.

"No, but he asked me to give this thing to you." The herald then pulled a pocket watch out of his pocket.

"......, sure enough, it's him. Let that bastard boy come to me. Seeing the watch, Gignas knew who it was.

"General, they are still wearing rebel uniforms, which ......" The herald was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, let him come to me." Gignas smiled and stopped talking.

"Yes! Checkmate! The herald saluted and trotted away.

……

"I haven't seen you for more than eight years, I didn't expect you to get mixed up with the colonel, if you hadn't left...... Anyway, what are you going to do here? Gignas looked at Caotis and said.

"Only the 'hungry wolf of Capani' can hold us off for so long, and it is thanks to him that I finally killed Mukar's bastard after leaving him with nothing." As if to say something irrelevant, Caotis continued to say indifferently: "I came here mainly because my life was for him. ”

"Your life? Well, I have to admit that guy is lucky and unlucky, the person you want to see is now in first aid, if the other party can't be saved, what are you going to do? Why don't you come and help me. The commander of the armored brigade is your place. "Genias seduces Caoutis.

The latter shook his head: "No need, when the time comes, I will directly ask him if he wants me to help him lay down the underworld." ”

"It's really that funny, so do I still call you Frey Heisser? My best student. "Gignas said a problem.

"It doesn't matter what's important, it's his situation that matters." Caoutis or Firee also smiled.

……

"He'll be fine, don't worry." Looking at the closed door, Loriss comforted De Perry, who was also worried. And why shouldn't she be worried.

"Yes, he'll be fine." Looking at the closed door, De Perry gripped Loris's hand tightly.

As for Hurley, she was equally worried, but she didn't say anything......

"......, would that bastard die so easily? Doesn't it say that good people don't live long, and bad people live for a thousand years? Seeing the reaction of the three older sisters, Alice shrugged her shoulders again.

PS: Ask for comments, ask for recommendations. The initial visa application was denied......
