Chapter 29: The Battle of Capani I

"Now let's go back to Capani City to support the boss!" After concentrating his fire on the south gate of Capani City to take out the last of the Hellington Army tanks that had not escaped, as the commander of the pursuing force, Strall glanced at the suspended suspension bridge and finally had to retreat to the east gate.

It was not that he did not want to pass directly through the West Gate, but soon he denied his idea, not to mention that he only had a few tanks and combat vehicles, a dozen armored vehicles, and hundreds of soldiers. However, compared to the area around the West Gate, which may be the headquarters of the Highlington Army, the enemy's defensive forces cannot be all he can deal with.

But he was a little curious as to why there seemed to be a violent explosion of cannonballs to the southeast of them.

Forget it, this is not the point, the point is that he must support Zhang Shixin's troops as soon as possible.

……

Using a tactical map as a reference, Zhang Shixin assisted the infantry in capturing a few occupied houses, and then temporarily retreated behind a relatively safe corner to allow trucks carrying ammunition to rush over for wartime supplies.

He was a little surprised that his artillery magnet was so conspicuous that it could not even attract even a large-caliber shell.

"How lucky have I been?" Zhang Shixin opened the top cover, then took a sip of water, looked at several trucks that came under the cover of armored vehicles, and was very puzzled.

"You idiot, do you want to be blown up? The other party's artillery unit didn't bother you, and you are still complaining here, I really don't know what you think. Sinia glanced at Zhang Shixin and said helplessly.

As several trucks quickly gathered to replenish their ammunition with tanks, combat vehicles and armored vehicles, what he didn't know was that a young recruit from Herrington was looking at him with a look of adoration......

……

My name is Leighton Chiller, and I come from a small hunter village north of Hairington.

I joined the army not long ago and was sent to Lieutenant Torres' company as an assault infantryman.

Then, within a few days, Torres central defenders persuaded most of the soldiers in the company, including me, to take their gear and head for Capani.

After almost half a month of nightfall, we and several other troops on the way to rendezvous reached a hilly road, and then engaged our former comrades......

I wonder what kind of people are commanding such stubborn troops, resisting their enemies dozens of times outnumbered.

But when I saw that the man called the boss by Captain Torris and a couple of officers was asking his subordinates to make us some weapons and write down something.

After handing us a piece of waterproof paper, they asked us to line up and then collected some of the weapons that were still usable and distributed them to us.

I was lucky, because after the stack of weapons had been distributed to my first few people, the boss immediately took out some weapons that had not been pried open with the boxes and continued to distribute them to us.

Some people like me, got the kind called the K98K sniper rifle, although I also like the MG-34 general-purpose machine gun, but the other side seems to be much stricter for machine gunners, and because when I charged with the MG-34 with a small cartridge box, few bullets could hit the target, so I knew that this thing was not my share.

But now, I find that I like my partner, a K98K sniper rifle, and it makes me feel like a hunter again. Although, this time my prey is all living people......

To be honest, even if I'm a little unaccustomed to this feeling, I think I've fallen in love with the title of sniper.

But I also like the anti-tank sniper rifle called the L-39, it's just ......

It was almost four times heavier than the MG-34, and although it could be picked up for a short charge, it was impossible for me to shoot it directly.

So I was curious about a tall man who was now beside me, as if he were holding a lollipop and skulling a Hellington soldier like a watermelon with an L-39 anti-tank sniper rifle...... Well, this thing is really a bit brutal, even if it hits the opponent's arm, even if the opponent can't die, he has to amputate his leg.

As for such a thing as killing one's own compatriots...... I didn't think too much about it, after all, we're two lineups now. According to Lieutenant Torres, we are already mercenaries now, and if that is the case, then what am I afraid of?

Because as a soldier, at least you can't be afraid of death, and you can't be afraid of killing.

Lieutenant Torres was asked, though, what we should do if the boss asked us to attack civilians.

Lieutenant Torres was silent for a moment, and then said something that made us a little dazed: "The boss is not the kind of cold-blooded person, but his original subordinates ...... I heard rumors that the civilians who were storming the line were actually shot. And he himself admits that since he did something wrong, he also did not do anything wrong. ”

What exactly does this phrase mean?

Layton just knew he had to do his job.

The salary promised by the boss is much higher than that of the Kingdom of Hellington.

In the Kingdom of Helrington, he only has 1 gold per month, which is the basic salary of a recruit in an army that basically does not cost anything. For himself, after a few years of retirement, it is not a problem to save more than a hundred gold coins.

But with the boss, they also don't need to spend any extra money, they also have better weapons, and in terms of salary, he gets 3 gold coins a month......

This made many of the Helrington soldiers who followed the boss more loyal to the boss.

And he, of course, is no exception.

So today, he followed his team, trailing more than six meters to the right of the Tiger tank, which looked mighty but was actually infinitely powerful, shooting at his former colleague......

……

When Zhang Shixin launched again, Ye Simo also roared in a house near the north gate: "What about artillery support? What about our backup forces? Where are they! ”

"General, we have called the command several times, but ...... So far, in addition to asking us, the other side has sent reinforcements, and the artillery has been assisting us for a long time. "A staff officer reports to his division commander something he himself does not believe.

"It's all already supported? Well, I've never seen a single person appear in front of my eyes now! Even if it's just one person!! What about artillery support? I didn't hear the explosion of large-caliber shells at all...... Oh no, I have absolutely no idea where our shells fell, except for the large-caliber shells that the enemy did not know from where!! Jesmo slapped the table hard and roared loudly.

However, with the pain in the palm of his hand, he suddenly remembered something, so he said to the staff officer: "This thing is a little wrong, you put a company on me and go back to the command headquarters to report this matter to His Highness personally, remember not to shout everywhere, you know?" ”

The staff officer was a little puzzled and couldn't help asking, "General, are you like this?" ”

"I suddenly thought of a terrible possible surname, and when I got to His Highness, you will know what I mean." Jesmo sighed lightly and said this to the staff officer.

Watching the staff officer, who still seemed to understand something, leave his temporary headquarters, Yesmo's eyes showed a hint of deep worry.

At this time, a Harrington Brigade Commander who had been shot in the left arm hurriedly ran up to him and said, "General! The enemy had routed the defensive lines of the local forces and was closing in on us, and General Caspar was killed. ”

"How many troops do we have?" Jesmo asked with a frown, Casper was the commander of the local mechanized division that was working with his troops to attack the northern part of Kapani City.

"Less than five thousand people and more than eighty tanks and armored vehicles." The brigade commander said the number, which made Jesmo ponder for a moment before smiling.

"In that case, let us be loyal to the kingdom and give the order that all those who are still alive, whether they are the local army or our second division, all the officers and soldiers who are still alive and are not yet 20 years old, must withdraw from the city of Capani and retreat north. If they encounter a large force of King Capani[***], they must surrender. Everyone else prepares, it's our last battle. ”

The brigade commander naturally knew the meaning of this order given by his division commander, and his division commander wanted these young men not to lose their lives in this battle, which had no chance of winning.

He nodded, gave a military salute, and ran out of the small house.

Then after thinking about the direction of the Herrington Kingdom, Yesmo saluted in the direction of the Kingdom of Helrington, straightened his hat, and walked towards the gate of the small house step by step......

……

Compared with the Second Division, which had a capable commander, the First Division of the Guards of the Kingdom of Hellington, which was almost still in the vicinity of the west gate of Kapani City, the First Division of the Kingdom of Hellington a long time ago had already completely discarded the honor that had been obtained by countless predecessors in the past.

They advanced slowly and aimlessly in what they saw as a bloody path carved out by the local troops, which they considered worthless.

And the Fifth Mechanized Division of Helrington, which was struggling to withstand the fierce attacks of the defenders in front of them, repeatedly asked them for support, but was torn off by their division commander, a little white face who had no experience in commanding combat and couldn't even remember a few military regulations.

Even a brigade commander covered in blood, whose lips were pale from excessive blood loss, uttered a request for support that was almost on his knees, and the brigade commander had to silently leave the armored car, walk back to the front, and report to his division commander.

But what he would never have imagined was the sound of a gunshot in his body and a sharp pain in his back......

He knew that he had been hacked.

……

Ten minutes later, another group of remnants of the retreating local army came to the west gate of Capani City, but what they saw was the corpse of a dead colleague with their numbers embroidered on their shoulders......

Then, the tanks and armored vehicles on the opposite side of the road emitted a blue glow at their muzzles......

They knew why these colleagues were so dead, and they knew that they had long since been abandoned......

On the street littered with corpses, pale red water flowed towards the blocked canals on both sides, accumulating small red pools......

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

"Young master, Captain Liu Hu has something he wants you to go over." Lieutenant Colonel Helrington, with a black cloth wrapped around his shoulder, whispered after calling the black-robed young man who had found an excuse to come out to see the situation into a dark corner.

"Well, where?" The black-robed young man nodded, and then said.

"The camp gate. Others have already been disposed of by us. The lieutenant colonel whispered.

"Well done." After admiring the lieutenant colonel with a smile, the black-robed young man followed behind the lieutenant colonel and walked to the gate of the camp.

And in this camp, patrolling everywhere are some Hairrington soldiers with black cloth wrapped around their shoulders, and people in black uniforms.

After the black-robed young man walked to the gate of the camp, he found that the guards at the gate of the camp were blocking several armored vehicles and more than a hundred infantry, so he walked up and asked.

He asked what had happened, and a black-haired Major Herrington gave the boy a look as he reported something to the boy.

The black-robed youth understood, and then communicated with the commanders of these people.

Then, the black-robed youth let a major staff officer enter the camp with a dozen people.

On the way to the headquarters, a patrol of about 30 people with black cloth wrapped around their shoulders walked up to these people, and after the black-robed young man glanced at the second lieutenant who led the team, the second lieutenant nodded slightly knowingly.

In less than 10 seconds, a dozen people, including the staff officer of the major, were dragged to a dark corner by these patrolmen before they could close their eyes that had completely lost the luster of life......

Like the people who had been lying here for a long time, their throats had been cut, and most of their death postures were with their hands on their throats, trying to make a sound in pain, but they could never do it......

The blood lines on the ground were quickly diluted by the rain, and finally completely mixed with the rain and disappeared on the ground.

"......" Looking at this scene in the Hellington Army camp, the corners of Firey's mouth curled slightly, but he saw the blurred face of the black-robed young man, and he was a little strange that he seemed to have seen it somewhere.

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

"This ...... No way!!! Keep shooting for me!! Yesmo watched as a large tank continued to push forward after smashing the wreckage of the destroyed tank armored vehicle on the avenue with ease. And even if the shells of their tanks hit the opponent, they were of no use at all except for leaving bullet marks on the opponent's front armor.

In fact, Zhang Shixin had already used a small first-aid kit once, because a 60mm shell happened to hit the machine gun ball on the right side of the Tiger tank, and then exploded, injuring the communication officer who was shooting at the MG-34.

As for why he didn't mount the machine gun on the turret roof?

If you want to die, you can't use the death method of getting a headshot at any time......

After all, now the infantry has not completely recaptured the houses seized by the enemy.

……

Behind the Tiger was the VK-3601(H), two short 88 guns that easily drilled holes in the paper-like armor plates of the Herrington Panzer before exploding in the enemy's vehicle......

Behind the two tanks, the infantry unit was shooting at the Hairington soldiers on the balcony of the house, from the window, or behind some pillar, so that they could not easily get close to the two tanks.

But there is also a thrilling scene:

Several Helrington soldiers were covered in grenades and attempted to rush to the side of the Tiger and blow up the Tiger tracks.

The infantrymen, who had discovered this, quickly raised their weapons and fired at the other side, and the Hellington soldiers were hit by the dense bullets and fell to the path of the charge.

However, there was also a nimble Helrington soldier who managed to dodge most of the bullets fired at him, and was still a few meters away from being able to rush to the left side of the Tiger tank.

After a "pong" sound, the gunshot, drowned out in the sound of gunfire, a bloody flower appeared on the forehead of the Hellington soldier, and after several rolls, his body rolled in front of the left track of the Tiger tank......

After the Tiger Tank, which seemed to be slightly warped on the left, drove completely, the soldiers who followed the Tiger Tank found that the Hellington soldier was either crushed into a pile of debris mixed with blood and rain except for part of his upper body and below his legs, or he was hanging directly on the left track of the Tiger Tank, constantly washed by the rain, and slid down on the stone road in front......

The soldiers in the back could even see that the left track of the Tiger tank seemed to have unbroken intestines......

After seeing this scene, several Herington mercenaries couldn't help but lean against the pillar and vomited......

……

Seeing that the monstrous tank was still advancing, Jesmo turned his heart on the other and ordered the last tanks to follow him and charge him suicidally.

Several tanks quickly picked up their speed towards the Tiger Tank and rushed towards the Tiger Tank.

Zhang Shixin saw this scene and said to the communicator: "Let VK-3601 (H) move to the left, and we will move to the right." 'Rhino' and 'Grizzly Bear' are ready to shoot at the enemies in front of them! ”

The communicator stopped the MG-34's machine gun operation, and then quickly conveyed Zhang Shixin's order.

In Jesmo's eyes, he was surprised to see that the monster tank was actually turning to his right, and just when he thought that his attempt to die was discovered, he saw two assault guns hidden behind the two tanks, and his heart was already desperate......

Under the coordinated attack of four tank fighting vehicles, Jesmo's tank quickly turned into a blue spark that burned in the rain......

Some of the tanks tried to fire at the two assault guns, but the opposing two tanks quickly fell back to their diagonal hulls, blocking most of the attacks, especially the monster tank, which almost completely blocked all the shells and fired at them again......

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

After several hours of fighting, the Helrington Army, which had invaded the northern area of Kapani City, was gradually driven out of the occupied area with the coordinated efforts of Zhang Shixin's subordinates and the remnants of Kapani's forces.

After receiving this news, the black-robed young man once again made an excuse and walked out of the tent of the headquarters, he looked up at the dark and dreary sky, felt the rain hitting his face, and then said softly: "Let's start......"

Several soldiers gathered around him, either wearing black uniforms or Herrington uniforms, with a black cloth wrapped around their shoulders, left the black-robed youth one after another after hearing the words of the black-robed youth.

For him, a lot of things will begin...... But he didn't expect something to end as well......

And for Zhang Shixin, many things are coming to an end...... But he also didn't know that something was going to start on him......

ps: I took a drip in the afternoon, and I was uncomfortable to death......
