Volume 1 Chapter 71 The Glory of Human Nature!
January 6, 2506. Fourth Field, Heavy Karma, Beta-4 C27ยท F591, Antigar Star (vassal) planet.
The western part of the Gar Empire, the town of Xiaoming.
The sky slowly entered the night, and the 2nd Regiment of the 11th Division took advantage of the night to break out of the encirclement of the 9th Division and withdraw from Xiaoming Town. Fortunately, the reinforced regiment seems to have misjudged and invested a limited number of troops in the blockade. When facing the breakthrough of the troops led by Han Chi, he was obviously unprepared and could not react in time.
It was instantly routed by Han Chi's troops.
After that, the battalions of the 2nd Regiment withdrew from Xiaoming Town under alternate cover. Flee all the way south without stopping.
The next day, early in the morning of January 7.
The commander of the reinforced regiment of the 9th Division got up from his sleep and kicked away the woman lying on his body. Slowly dressed, brushing his hair in front of the mirror.
The regimental deputy heard the noise in the room and knew that the regimental commander had gotten up. He hurriedly knocked on the door and entered, and stood at the door, and did not speak deeply.
"Regiment commander, yesterday the rebels broke through the blockade from the northwest and ran away. Can we chase it? โ
The head of the regiment didn't have a particularly big reaction, but asked lightly: "How many people have run?" โ
The regiment deputy hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "It seems that they all ran away......"
"What?" The regimental commander turned around sharply and shouted in a reprimand, "Why did you report now?" โ
"Commander, you said yesterday that you should enjoy yourself and not allow anyone to disturb you."
"A bunch of garbage, chase! Don't go after it yet! What are you doing in a daze! โ
The regiment commander was furious, and kicked the regimental deputy to the ground with one kick. The regimental deputy nodded again and again, and crawled out of the ground. Convey the order of the regiment commander.
At this time, Han Chi's second regiment ran all night. Breaking through last night, I first ran south for a while, and then changed direction and fled in the direction of Shangjing.
In the early morning, the sky gradually brightened. The stars have not completely receded, leaving a few bits of brilliance behind.
"Pass my orders. The whole army rested for half an hour and seized the time to have breakfast. โ
Han Chi ordered. There was also no time to heat up the food, and the conditions did not allow them to make a fire. Now, you can only eat this cold canned food. Although the taste is not as delicious as the hot one, it is also a high-calorie food.
Fill the hunger pangs in your belly.
Han Chi handed Wang Xin'er a can, sat down next to her, and ate the can in his hand by himself.
Wang Xin'er opened the can, hesitated, and ate it in small bites. Maybe she was hungry, maybe it tasted good, and without taking two bites, Wang Xin'er took a big bite of it.
"Do you still have relatives?"
Wang Xin'er didn't pay attention at first, but after a while, she realized that Han Chi seemed to be talking to her. After a moment's hesitation, he shook his head and didn't answer.
"What are you going to do in the future?"
Han Chi chatted aimlessly. Wang Xin'er also shook her head and didn't make any answer. Take one bite at a time and eat the canned food in your hand.
"In the future, you can follow me."
Wang Xin'er began to act as if she hadn't heard, and after eating the canned food in her hand, she held the can for a long time and didn't speak. The knuckles of the index finger are whitish because they are holding the can hard.
"Will there be any canned food to eat in the future?"
Han Chi was stunned for a moment and came back to his senses. He didn't expect Wang Xin'er to ask such a question. Nodding his head, he replied in the affirmative.
"Yes!"
Wang Xin'er nodded and said, "Then I can follow you." โ
Before Han Chi could smile, Er Lei's voice rang out.
"Brother Han! Something is wrong, come on! โ
Han Chi couldn't take care of Wang Xin'er anymore, and hurriedly ran towards Erlei. Wang Xin'er, who was sitting, lowered her head and stared at Han Chi, who was gradually moving away. His eyes grew colder.
Han Chi ran to Er Lei and asked, "What's wrong?" โ
"There's an enemy army ahead!"
"Which troop? Is it the reserve of the Forces nouvelles? โ
Spatially, the heavily armored infantry divisions and tank divisions and artillery divisions were on the front line, and what could still be encountered here in the rear was only the reserve new army of the left army.
"I don't know. Brother Han, go and take a look. โ
"Let's go!"
Han Chi immediately followed Erlei to the sentry. The sentry was lying behind a small slope with a few grass coverings on the top of it. The sentry poked his head out and stared into the distance with an optical telescope.
Han Ji prostrate into position. Next to the sentry, take out the binoculars and follow the direction of the sentry, and look at it.
In the optical base, the scene is projected from kilometers away.
Several soldiers gathered around a Guo, eating something with relish. Next to the pot, there were also blood-stained furs of wild animals. Han Ji pursed his lips and turned his attention away to the uniforms and weapons of several soldiers.
It's just that Han Chi found out when he saw it. The weapons of these soldiers are nothing more than Ansu's universal standard weapons, not new imperial weapons. Even their reserves, which were used to fill the battle lines, were in the form of imperial weapons.
High-end goods imported from the Empire.
Han Chi handed the optical telescope to Er Lei and asked him to take a look. Erlei took the binoculars and looked at it.
"Notice their weapons? What are the old Ansu rifles used by the nearby army? It's like the 38 style. โ
Erlei thought for a while and replied: "It seems that the border defense uses the 38 style." But how can border guards cross the border? โ
"That's not them, they won't leave the border. Thinking about it, is there anything else? โ
Er Lei thought about it, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said excitedly: "Shangjing Military Region!" It must be the Shangjing Army! โ
Han Chi lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said to the person behind him, "Put a group of drones." โ
The sentry in the back nodded and activated the drone in the backpack. The Imperial Hummingbird drone is the size of a palm but has excellent maneuverability and endurance. Today, the Imperial Army has long been replaced with more advanced drones, but the Hummingbird is indeed the longest-serving reconnaissance drone that has undergone several generations of upgrades in the early days.
Several hummingbird drones take off, gradually approach the target area, and after reaching the air above the target area, they enter the working state. The footage is then transmitted back to the Sentinel.
Several hummingbirds cover an area of several kilometers, using multiple frequency bands for coordinated reconnaissance. Intelligent programs, automatically match the most suitable reconnaissance means, and synthesize the best picture.
What appeared in front of Han Chi was the group army that was distributed for several kilometers in Mianyang.
"There are more than a dozen divisions, there must be one. Brother, I'm afraid this is the first time that the Shangjing army has poured out of the nest! โ
Erlei was speechless in shock, staring at the army marked on the screen. Han Ji asked the sentinel.
"Is there a way to get around these guys in front of you?"
The sentry looked at it and said, "The position of these cards in front is very fatal, the left is a mountain, the front is an open field, and the right is a plain, and it used to be a live target. โ
Han Chi stared ahead, patted Erlei and asked, "How many people do you estimate in front of this pile?" โ
"This pile should just be a forward post, there must be someone not far behind. A squad of people at the forward post, I estimate that there is at least one battalion of troops in the back. โ
A standard battalion in Ansu with only three hundred people.
"What about us? How many more people do we have? โ
Erlei didn't react for a while, and was stunned for a moment before replying: "There are only less than eight hundred in the morning, and I can eat." Nearly 200 people were slightly or seriously wounded. โ
"And seventy townspeople from Xiao Ming Town."
"You're not trying to fight hard, are you? As soon as the gunshots rang out here, tens of thousands of people on the opposite side would instantly envelop them. Not to mention that we can't win this battalion, if we don't solve the battle for an hour, it's a dead end. โ
Everyone understands this truth, so from the very beginning, Han Chi gave up the plan to let a force go elsewhere to attract firepower. This tactic of attacking the east and west is no different from sending people to death.
It's not how righteous Han Chi is, but this situation, if someone sends him to die, he will also rebel! In order to avoid such a time, the troops rebelled. This kind of abandonment must not be taken, at least not explicitly.
Withdrawn from the outpost, Han Chi began to think about his thoughts.
"In the regiment, which battalion is the most complete?"
