Chapter 123: Occupation (7000)
After the Falcon gunship cleared the city guards from the city walls, they began shooting all the soldiers in the city in the city in city guard armor. Whether they surrender or not, no matter how much they beg for mercy or how much they wail, all that awaits them is merciless bullet fire.
During this period, some of the City Guard soldiers were clever enough to observe these steel monsters hovering in the sky, and would not deliberately attack civilians. So some of the City Guard soldiers burrowed into the crowd in order to avoid the attacks of these steel monsters.
However, the helicopter gunships did not care about the alleged civilian casualties, and Gatling aimed at the location of the City Guard soldiers, and the merciless bullets rained down from the sky, killing the City Guards along with everyone nearby.
Helicopter gunships hovered in the air like a grim reaper, judging everyone in the city, and the sound of gunfire meant the death of another life.
Screaming, wailing, roaring, shouting at family members mingled to make the city even more chaotic. At the same time, bullets were constantly flying from the sky, sweeping away any armed forces in the city.
At this moment, a breeze blew, blowing away the strong smell of blood on the city wall and carrying it into the Canal City. The breeze carried a faint smell of blood, which was sent into the nose of every resident. Smelling this smell of blood, the fear in their hearts grew.
The fear of the people and the oppression of the past are intertwined, and finally the hearts of all are broken. Slowly, someone stopped screaming, stopped wailing, stopped fleeing, and sat quietly on the side of the road, desperately watching the steel monsters flying in the sky.
The people at the bottom are tired, and the country's long-term oppression and exploitation of them have made them physically and mentally exhausted.
At the same time, they rose up again and again, suppressed again and again, and failed again and again, making them extremely desperate.
Since the world is so dark, and you don't have the power to change it, it's not bad to die.
This kind of resigned, desperate squatting on the side of the road. Just like the frightened escape before, it infected the others around it like a virus. More and more people at the bottom stopped running, stopped screaming, and sat quietly on the side of the road, looking up at the steel monsters flying in the sky.
And now only the officials, nobles, and merchants were still on the run, and they were rushing towards their mansions. There's a basement, there's food for them to eat for years.
The Falcon gunship ignored these fleeing officials, nobles and merchants, and they hid for a while, but not for a lifetime. And their task is only to clear all the armed forces in Canal City, and these high-ranking people will be left for the follow-up trial to make an example of the monkeys.
The army armoured unit stopped 500 meters from the city wall, and then a heavily armed soldier disembarked from the military truck in an orderly manner.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Quickly get to your squad! ”
The soldiers ran in an orderly manner towards the squad that had been assigned to their tasks, and the armored units in the front row were quickly divided into squads.
The strength of a squad is one Snapdragon main battle tank, two infantry vehicles, and ten heavily armed infantrymen. This is the military department's knowledge of modern military theory, combined with the various dangers of the red pupil world, such as dangerous species, high-class strong, and emperors. and developed a squad strategy.
The purpose of the Eastern Xia Empire coming to the world of slashing the red pupil was very simple, to completely occupy the entire world, crush all the countries, and annex all the peoples. Let this world be left with only one civilization, one nation, and one voice in Great Xia.
The main task of the Third Army is to eliminate the cities occupied by other countries, which means that the Third Army will have to engage in a lot of urban warfare. Subsequently, it was announced that a large number of analyses had been carried out using modern military knowledge in combination with the characteristics of the world in which the red and red were cut down.
Urban warfare, also known as street fighting. Street fighting has the following two distinctive characteristics: first, the enemy and the enemy are hand-to-hand combat, and the second is the cruelty of the enemy, the enemy and the enemy are mixed with each other, the dog's teeth are intertwined, it is easy to accidentally injure teammates, and the danger is strong.
At the same time, the high-level powerhouse who slashed the Crimson Pupil was too dangerous in a place like the city where there were many obstacles. They can use their extraordinary movement speed to move from building to building to avoid bullets and shells. If these high-class powerhouses were to wage guerrilla warfare against the Third Army in the cities, they would be as difficult as a modern army.
In order to deal with the guerrilla warfare of the high-class strong, the military department developed two programs.
1. Capture squad strategy: Form an occupation squad of tank infantry infantry to enter the city and block and occupy all the main streets of the city.
Tanks are extremely defensive, accurate, and have great firepower as a spearhead. Provide fire support to infantry who cannot carry heavy firepower, and cover infantry for high-speed assault.
At the same time, the military department also took into account the movement speed of those high-ranking powerhouses in the world of Slashing Crimson Pupils, and it was easy to dodge the bombardment of tanks. Therefore, on the basis of the combination of tanbu and infantry, the military department has added infantry combat vehicles loaded with the latest research and development of electromagnetic anti-aircraft guns.
Thunder 1 Infantry Chariot: The most advanced infantry chariot in the Eastern Xia Empire, mainly used to intercept air attack weapons. Equipped with an electromagnetic anti-aircraft gun, a hyper-velocity catapult weapon, it is the nemesis of supersonic air attack weapons.
It uses the latest artificial intelligence self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery system of the Eastern Xia Empire, with gun sighting radar, electro-optical tracking and ranging devices, artificial intelligence fire control calculations and artillery composition in the same vehicle body. At the same time, the military department also installed a large thermal imager sensor.
The anti-aircraft gun mounted on the infantry chariot is controlled by artificial intelligence, and its reaction speed can completely react and deliver a devastating blow at the moment when a high-level powerhouse launches an attack.
At the same time, under the monitoring of the large thermal imager sensor, as long as the thermal energy body that was not wearing the signal of the tactical helmet of the Eastern Xia Empire suddenly approached the team. The AI controls the electromagnetic anti-aircraft gun to devastate the thermal energy bodies that are rapidly approaching the team.
Even if these high-class powerhouses want to rely on buildings and occupation squads to fight guerrilla warfare, the 80mm shells of electromagnetic anti-aircraft guns can teach them how to behave. Hide in the house, and even the house will be a sieve for you.
The military department complained that the newly developed truth armor in the arsenal was too crazy and perverted, and it even dismantled the guards guns on the battleships and treated those high-level powerhouses as supersonic missiles. But when they use the Thunder 1-step chariot, don't they also use those high-level powerhouses as air attack supersonic weapons?
Whether it is the military department or the weapons depot, the two departments are the same bird, and they are a group of firepower maniacs. After the Eastern Xia Empire obtained the resources of the two worlds and no longer had to worry about the shortage of resources, these two departments let themselves go even more, and batch after batch of frantic heavy firepower weapons were moved out by them.
Hitting people with a Thunder 1-step chariot has a sense of anti-aircraft guns hitting mosquitoes, but in order to prevent this group of high-class powerhouses from causing more casualties to the soldiers, everything is worth it. They are the heroes of Great Xia, and as long as they can reduce their casualties, it is worth the cost.
The so-called electromagnetic anti-aircraft guns will knock out 10,000 Xia Yuan with one shot, which sounds very wasteful. But the money is printed, it has no real value, as long as you can grab the supplies, everything is worth it. And there will be more and more worlds in the future, and this consumption is not a problem at all.
Of course, the Third Army can also use the absolute air supremacy of the Air Force in this world to bomb all cities at will. But the mission of the Third Legion is to take over the world, not destroy it.
The Eastern Xia Empire wants to make this world the second home of Great Xia, which also means that the Eastern Xia Empire needs a lot of labor to carry out various infrastructure construction. If every city it encounters is bombed, the population of this world will be reduced by at least 70 even if the Eastern Xia Empire occupies the entire world.
Unlike other worlds, there are dangerous species in this world, and people need to rely on the tall walls to defend themselves against dangerous species that may attack at any time. This also caused a large number of people to gather around the city, and the bombing of the city was also a bombardment of the labor force.
Without a large number of laborers, the Eastern Xia Empire's second home renovation plan would have been very slow. Lacking labor, the Eastern Xia Empire could not have been completely pulled from the original world, and in that case, it would most likely lead to the exposure of the portal.
And the Goblin Slayer World has experienced tens of thousands of years of camp wars, and the population of the ten countries has not increased for thousands of years, and has even begun to decline. According to the statistics of the Eastern Xia Empire, the combined population of all races in the Ten Kingdoms is about 100 million, of which nearly half are humans.
Now that the Goblin Slayer World still needs a large number of people to develop materials, it is impossible to pull out more labor to support the transformation of Crimson Pupil's home. At most, a group of great magicians will be assigned to assist in the infrastructure.
The 1st Occupation Squad was the first to step out of the ranks, with the tanks in front, two Thunder 1 infantry vehicles on either side, and 10 heavily armed soldiers advancing rapidly around the tanks.
The peasants, who were constantly banging on the gates, saw the occupation team approaching, and everyone let out a cry of horror.
"Ahh Don't kill me! ”
"Run!"
"It's useless, you can't escape!"
Some of the more clever peasants left the city gates and fled to both sides of the city walls. Some of them sat on the ground with their backs to the walls, looking at the occupation team with desperate expressions. The occupation team ignored the peasants and came to the gate 50 meters away in a hurry.
A soldier removed the Dragon 16 high-explosive rocket launcher from his back and glanced indifferently at the peasants who were sitting at the city gate and did not escape. Then he raised the Dragon 16 high-explosive rocket launcher in his hand, aimed it at the city gate, and pulled the trigger.
Boom! Shout!
The rockets flew out with orange-yellow flames, slamming into the gates of Canal City, followed by a flash of fire.
Rumble!
A huge explosion sounded, and the flames instantly engulfed everyone at the city gate. The huge gate shattered like tofu in the face of the explosion, and at any moment it was accompanied by pieces of stumps and severed arms, splashing everywhere.
The soldiers hiding behind the city gate were also knocked away by the huge shock wave, and their bodies flew out upside down and landed on the ground five or six meters away, and then pieces of the city gate smashed on their bodies.
The Snapdragon main battle tank slowly drove in through the rubble at the city gate, and 10 heavily armed soldiers surrounded the tank, looking around vigilantly. This was followed by the Thunder 1-step chariot at the rear, which turned on a variety of sophisticated scanners.
Immediately after that, one occupation squad after another, entered Canal City, and then quickly dispersed, occupying all the main roads.
Boom, boom, boom
Hearing a roar in the distance, the civilians squatting on the side of the street, everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look in the direction where the sound came from, and a steel monster slowly approached on the street in the distance.
Seeing this huge steel monster, everyone's originally desperate eyes were filled with fear again, although they were already ready to meet death. But when death did come to them, fear took over their hearts again. It's a biological instinct, and few people face death without fear at all.
The Occupy team made their way to their assigned position, watching the civilians around them warily. This is no ordinary world, and perhaps a high-ranking powerhouse will suddenly appear among these civilians to attack.
Even if there are no high-level powerhouses, with the power system of slashing the red pupils, although their ** strength is not high, they are stronger than the Goblin Slayer world in terms of strength, speed, and battle awareness.
Slash the Crimson Pupil World, a second-class powerhouse armed with a blade, can easily defeat high-level monsters in the Goblin Slayer World. If you simply fight ** and skill, the combat power exerted by the second class of the Crimson Pupil World can compete with the third class of the Goblin Slayer World.
Although the power system of Slashing Crimson Pupil has a higher power than that of the same class, the lifespan of the powerhouses of the same world does not match their own strength.
According to the survey of the pioneers, the demigod-level powerhouse in this world lived the longest at 192 years old. You must know that with this level of strength, even the shortest-lived human in the Goblin Slayer world has a lifespan of at least 500 years.
As more and more Occupy squads entered Canal City, major streets were taken over by Occupy Squads. In just ten minutes, a pair of urban occupation teams were stationed every 200 meters on all the main traffic arteries in Canal City.
Report, mission accomplished, all Occupy teams have safely occupied Main Street
After receiving the information of the occupation team, 2,000 heavily armed infantrymen who had already been prepared outside poured into the Canal City in an orderly manner.
Their task was to gather all the civilians in Canal City to different areas and start military control.
At this time, the Falcon gunship hovering in the sky turned on the specially installed loudspeaker to announce the whole city.
"This is the Eastern Xia Empire, Canal City has been occupied by the Eastern Xia Empire, and now Canal City is under military control, all residents please follow the orders of the soldiers beside you, and those who resist will not be spared."
This voice instantly resounded throughout the entire Canal City, and everyone looked up and looked at the steel monster in the sky with a bewildered expression.
"Repeat, this is the Eastern Xia Empire, Canal City has been occupied by the Eastern Xia Empire, and now Canal City is under military control, all residents please follow the orders of the soldiers beside you, and those who resist will not be killed."
After the Falcon Gunship repeated the announcement three times, everyone gradually realized that these steel monsters were not a dangerous species.
Before they could react too much, a group of men dressed in strange clothes and armed with firearms approached them.
A Dongxia soldier looked at the civilians squatting on the ground, and said in an indifferent tone: "Now everyone go to the square 200 meters ahead and register their identities. ”
"If you don't obey orders and continue to hide in the house, you will be listed as an enemy. In an hour, our army will conduct a carpet search of all houses. ”
The residents glanced at each other, and then they realized that these sudden attacks of steel monsters were piloted by this group. At the same time, all the hearts were relieved that if the attackers were human, maybe they would have survived, and now these attackers had no intention of attacking them.
The ensuing military control operation went unexpectedly smoothly, no one resisted, and everyone honestly obeyed the orders of the soldiers and walked to the designated area.
In just one hour, most of the civilians gathered.
Then, under the bewildered eyes of the civilians, the Dongxia soldiers distributed a loaf of bread to everyone.
All the inhabitants glanced at each other, and they all saw each other's doubts, why did the group of attackers give them such captive food?
Are these foods poisonous? Are they trying to poison them with this poisonous food?
Some of the residents broke the bread and were even more bewildered when they saw the bread, which was as soft and white as cotton.
It turned out to be white bread that only those aristocratic lords could eat!
Seeing the white bread in their hands, some civilians who were about to starve to death finally couldn't resist the temptation and began to eat in large gulps.
In fact, most people know that this food is not poisonous, because there is no need to poison them with food, which will waste precious food. They were completely powerless in front of this group of people, and the fish on the chopping board did not have to make such great effort to poison them with food.
As more and more people ate this piece of white bread that they couldn't think of before, everyone's panicked hearts were slowly calmed.
City Lord's Mansion, hundreds of heavily armed soldiers climbed into the City Lord's Mansion from different directions. At this time, the place had just been swept by the Falcon gunship, and the outside of the castle was littered with bullet holes, blood, and corpses.
The soldiers, divided into 10 squads, each of 10 people, with the help of thermal imagers, began a carpet search of the entire castle.
The third team stopped in front of a room in the castle, and with the help of a thermal imager, they saw several faint figures inside.
The team leader gestured to the two team members next to him: You two, electric guns, captured alive. Others, armor, kills.
Their mission here was to capture the city lord alive, and then imprisoned him for his own use. Moreover, the resentment of the common people against these officials and nobles is very great, which is just used to appease the hearts of the people.
1,2,3。
At the end of the countdown, the captain and another soldier kicked open the wooden door, and then the four soldiers poured into the room, raising their rifles and pointing them forward.
In the room was a group of women in maid costumes and men in tuxedos, who were supposed to be maids and attendants in the city lord's mansion.
At this point they said in the corner, covering their mouths with their hands to prevent themselves from making any noise.
"Grab it." The squad leader commanded.
The Eastern Xia Empire did not have photos of the noble officials in these cities, so it could only arrest all suspicious people and let the commoners recognize them.
In the basement of the castle, the soldiers looked at the bloodstained torture instruments around them and the humans in the cages who were imprisoned like animals. Everyone frowned slightly, they were really disgusted by the so-called lust of these nobles.
All the soldiers looked coldly at the ground, the fat middle-aged man who kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, and was dressed very gorgeously.
"Please, don't kill me, I can give you money, lots and lots of money! And women! The obese middle-aged man pointed to the iron cage around him.
"You see these are my collections, they are all given to you, as long as you don't kill me, I am willing to give anything!"
The soldiers ignored the words of the suspected canal city lord, and one soldier pulled out his stun gun and pulled the trigger on the middle-aged man's back.
Shout! Whew!
The strong electric current instantly made the middle-aged man faint.
The soldiers then released all the women in the cage, and the soldiers encountered a problem, like a doll, and did not react.
"What should the captain do?" A soldier asked.
The team leader thought for a while and said, "Find them a few pieces of cloth to put on, and take them out first." ”
The women were not armed and were not in the scope of the clearance. Without violating military rules, the soldiers were still willing to help these victims.
At the same time, the estates of all the nobles, officials, and merchants in Canal City were raided by the soldiers of the Eastern Xia Empire. One after another, the big people who were still arrogant in the morning were escorted out by the soldiers in embarrassment.
Nobles, officials, and merchants were handcuffed like prisoners and escorted to various gathering places in Canal City.
The nobles, officials, and merchants who were gathered in the square looked at the food in the distance, and the civilians who lined up to register instantly exploded.
Why do we wear these handcuffs like prisoners, while the untouchables in the distance don't have to wear any shackles!?
The fact that the big man who is high up on weekdays was treated like this, which surprised the surrounding civilians. At the same time, there was a dark feeling in my heart, and this group of inhumane animals also had today.
"Why do the untouchables have access to food without being shackled!? It's not fair! ”
"That's right! We need aristocratic treatment, and these untouchables are not qualified to be our equals, let alone better off than us! ”
"It's not fair, we need aristocratic treatment!"
Some of the nobles began to stir up, and they rose from the ground and angrily questioned the soldiers who were guarding them.
The Eastern Xia soldiers raised their rifles and aimed them at the nobles, ready to pull the trigger and shoot them to death.
An officer walked up to them and said in an indifferent tone, "Canal City has been occupied by the Eastern Xia Empire, and now you are no longer nobles. You are just a bunch of captives, without any qualifications to negotiate conditions. ”
Then the officer said to the soldiers in charge of the detention: "Those who resist, there is no mercy for killing." ”
With that, the officer ignored the dull gaze of these nobles and turned to leave.
"You guy! Are you going to break the rules of the nobility?! If you know it," the first nobleman stood up in protest, took two steps forward and tried to grab the officer's shoulder.
Boom!
A soldier next to him reacted quickly, raised the rifle in his hand, and hit the man in the back of the neck with the butt. The sudden attack caused the man to lean forward and fall heavily to the ground.
Before the man could scream, another soldier raised his rifle in his hand, aimed it at the man's head, and pulled the trigger.
Bang bang bang!
The bullet pierced the man's head directly, and blood gushed out.
The so-called upper-class people in the back were stunned when they saw this scene, they didn't expect that these soldiers really didn't hesitate to kill a nobleman.
The few people who stood up just now squatted down silently and didn't say anything more. With the previous aristocrat as a list, other upper-class people no longer made a fuss.
Civilians in the distance almost applauded when they saw this scene. At this moment, everyone's gaze on the Dongxia soldiers changed suddenly, and they were no longer full of fear and panic as they were just now.
At the same time, there were also a few high-ranking people who did not know whether to live or die in other gathering places, and their fate was the same as that of this nobleman, who were shot mercilessly by the guards.
The attitude of the Eastern Xia soldiers towards nobles, officials, and merchants angered a wave of goodwill among the commoners. is no longer as frightened as just now, and is more obedient to the orders of the Eastern Xia soldiers.
For this phenomenon, the major general in charge of the command nodded with satisfaction, all this was in their calculations.
The people, who had been oppressed for a long time and could not turn over, were already full of resentment towards the upper echelons of the empire. Now these nobles are equivalent to popular favor cards, and every time they kill a nobleman, the prestige of the Eastern Xia Empire will increase a little more in the people.
Church of Tranquility.
At this time, the towering and ornate Church of Tranquility had been surrounded by armored troops, and hundreds of soldiers poured into the Church of Tranquility.
At this time, the square in front of the main church of the Anning Church was full of people, and thousands of congregants knelt in the square, their hands folded, and prayed sincerely.
The armored vehicle slowly entered the Church of Tranquility, then dispersed, completely encircling the entire square. Hundreds of soldiers stood at the edge of the square, raising their guns and pointing them at the thousands of believers in the square.
A colonel pointed at the square below with a megaphone and ordered: "Now everyone stop praying and squat on the ground with their heads in their hands." ”
The Colonel's voice echoed throughout the square, and the thousands of believers below did not react, as if they had not heard at all. All the believers were still on their knees, their hands clasped together, praying sincerely.
And the bishop, standing in front of the believers and holding the Bible, laughed inwardly: these useless stupid guys will only listen to the word of God, and I am the spokesman of God, and they will only listen to me.
I don't know which country's army this is, but now I show my appeal to the people. In order to make it easier to rule, they will definitely win me over, and I will still be able to maintain my former transcendent position.
I don't believe that they dare to kill the thousands of believers who are helpless, let alone these thousands of people who have been helping the civilians all these years under my direction, and their reputation among the people is very high.
If they had killed these thousands of believers now, their image in the hearts of the people would have absolutely plummeted. It would be very difficult to rule the Canal City unless they slaughtered the entire city's inhabitants.
Thinking of this, the bishop smiled a friendly smile at the person above who seemed to be the leader.
However, the truth is exactly what he thinks, and the more he shows his appeal to the people, the closer he is to death.
The colonel looked at the thousands of believers below, his eyes were full of coldness, and he said in an indifferent tone: "Fire." ”
The Eastern Xia Empire did not need rebels, it did not need neutrals, it did not need surrenderers, it only needed subservients. Before the Third Legion came, it had long been prepared to become a human slaughter.
It doesn't matter if it's a few thousand or tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, it's the same for the Third Army. As long as they dared to stand in front of Great Xia, they would not hesitate to raise the butcher's knife.
