The front command of the 36th Army of the Reich. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
An imperial lieutenant general holds a glass of water that is still slightly hot, and the glass is steaming slowly. Blow lightly, then take a sip. The Imperial General's movements were graceful and slow, but they brought a great sense of oppression to the dozen or so Imperial officers around him.
"Report to Sir, Lieutenant General Asa has arrived." A guard ran into the headquarters and reported to the general who was sitting in the first seat.
Finally putting down the cup in his hand, DeWitt stood up unhurriedly, "Quickly invite General Asa in." ”
The guards obeyed the order and immediately turned to leave.
After a while, Deputy Commander Asa walked into the headquarters. Looking at a room full of officers under his command, they all looked at the man in the middle with fear. Asa couldn't help but smile bitterly, he had just left for a while, and DeWitt had preconceived to occupy the headquarters of the 36th Army.
"General Asa."
"Lord Viscount."
Devit gave a military salute to Asa, but Asa returned the traditional etiquette of the Rovisa royal family, it turned out that Devit was not an ordinary lieutenant general of the Imperial Army, he was also a nobleman of Rovisa, and the title of viscount. It's no wonder everyone here is so nervous.
In the laws of the Roviza Empire, it was stipulated that if one of the two parties was a nobleman, the nobility must be performed. The empire attached great importance to the idea of class, even in the military.
"Haha, General Asa sit down." DeWitt graciously invited Asa to sit down and sit in the first place, which belonged to Augustine.
"I relied on the orders of the marshal to directly mobilize the 36th Army to withdraw from Seluda, and I don't think General Asa will have any bad thoughts, if this is the case, then I will say no to you again, General." Although DeWitt spoke modestly, he pulled out a marshal's order and placed it on the table.
Asa glanced at the order written by Gustav himself, and said with a wry smile, "Since the Viscount has a marshal's order, then I will fully cooperate." ”
"Well, that's good." Devit coughed and said slowly, "I now have the commission to mobilize the Third Army, so please ask General Asa to obey the order." ”
"In!"
"Please lead the 36th Army to withdraw to the General Headquarters with immediate effect, and obey the dispatch of Field Marshal Gustav. All fighting in Seluda was now taken over by the 27th Army. DeWitt held the marshal's order in his hand, and his tone at this time was as if the marshal was coming in person.
"Subordinates obey orders!"
All the officers followed Asa out of the headquarters, and in less than a month, the 36th Group not only lost its troops, but even its commander Augustine was missing. In this way, at a terrible price, the 36th Army embarked on its way home.
DeWitt put his hands behind his back, looking at Celuda in the distance, who was still smoking gunsmoke, and didn't know what was on his mind. As a Rovisa nobleman, a thirty-five-year-old army commander, Devitt naturally has something extraordinary.
"My lord, why don't you let the 36th Army attract enemy fire and gain us an opportunity?" The adjutant beside DeWitt asked in a whisper.
"Thirty-sixth Army?" A disdainful smile flashed across DeWitt's face, "Letting them in front will only drag us down, so how can we fight for a chance?" ”
"Don't forget, we're the aces of the Rovisa Empire!"
At this moment, a guard came running briskly.
"Report, the commander of the 16th Mecha Regiment of the 36th Army, Lister, asks to see you."
"Huh?" DeWitt said with a little confusion, "Let him come over." ”
Rist's appearance was very miserable at this time, his hair was combed haphazardly, and his combat uniform had not been washed for a long time. In the eyes of the nobleman DeWitt, this man was no different from a beggar on the street.
The only thing that is different from the sloppy dress is that Rister's eyes are embarrassed, and the momentum of the whole person is very different from before.
DeWitt nodded slightly, "It's getting more and more interesting." ”
Calvin survived an emergency rescue at the ambulance station.
According to the doctor, Calvin now has different degrees of damage to all internal organs, and must go through a long period of recuperation to recover, and if he suffers any more damage, it will have irreparable consequences.
Calvin is still unconscious, and Herbert has been confirmed dead in battle. On this day alone, the fighting in Seluda was in a critical state. The remaining officers took up their duties and quickly assembled their defensive forces in preparation for tomorrow's hard battle.
While all Imperial forces had withdrawn from the town of Seluda, the previously lost defenders' positions were no longer able to recapture. It was precisely because of the emptiness of the defenders in the town that DeWitt boldly ordered all the men to retreat.
Flipping through the corpse of an Imperial soldier, the fat man flipped through it before he found two pieces of chocolate. However, the fat man was content to take the chocolate into his pocket, and then touched the next corpse. He hadn't had enough to eat in days, but fortunately the Imperial soldiers were so rich that they could get something out of each corpse.
After leading his soldiers to replenish enough food and ammunition, the fat man arranged for everyone to lay traps in the streets. While most of the traps planted will be destroyed by the Empire's bombardment, they are one of the best ways to thwart the enemy's attack.
Under the leadership of the fat man, all the soldiers planted tripwire mines in the ruins and bunkers, which were complex and difficult to observe. In the words of the fat man, it is to call the enemy 'nowhere to hide'.
By the time they returned to their positions, it was already dark. Most of the town is pitch black, except for a few areas where there are lights. Most of the positions use code codes to confirm the identity of the other party to avoid accidental injury.
The fat man took out a piece of chocolate from his body and stuffed it into his mouth, munching on it heavily. However, everyone next to him cast envious glances at the fat man, and one of them asked, "Battalion commander, how can you always find good things to eat?" With that, he shook the small bag of biscuits in his hand, which was already thin.
"So what's the matter, it's good if some don't eat hungry." The fat man stuffed the remaining half of the chocolate into his mouth and said vaguely, "I said I can smell the food, do you believe it?" There's something good I can tell when I smell it. ”
"Cut."
"Cut~~"
Everyone threw big eyes at the fat man.
The night was so deep and so quiet.
However, the positions of the Imperial Army on the outskirts of Seluda were still brightly lit. The 27th Army has fully taken over the positions, and all heavy fire weapons have been transported to the front positions. The swarthy muzzles of the guns were already aimed at the town not far away.
