Chapter Twenty-Six: The Second Battle
"My father was in the Navy, my grandfather was in the Navy, and my great-grandfather was also in the Navy, so I should be in the Navy. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Anyway, I have to serve, and there is nothing wrong with continuing the footsteps of my family. Hai Li's indifferent voice was as shocking as if it was striking on Li Duoan's heart.
But Haili didn't give him a chance to come back to his senses, she touched her chin and broke the news to this strange army with a bad heart. "The so-called children of the family are not a glorious image. At least I know one who not only likes to withhold 'my' rations, but also likes to give orders that overwhelm his subordinates. For example, hunting or something. ”
Hayley sighed, her watch vibrated again, and her immediate commander gave her some strange orders. This time, she was asked to get some fresh ingredients to go back.
"Wu Lian, Wu Lian, take your people and go get some prey back." Hai Li didn't care who the army he was talking to just now, and gave orders directly to his subordinates.
When the convoy kicked up dust and left, Li Duoan hadn't come back to his senses: "Is this okay?" ”
"Of course." Hayley lay on the roof of the chariot and watched as the companion star of the Alpha III overhead reflected a silvery white stellar light. "It's an order, it's within his reach, and it doesn't need to be explained. Just as I hate fighting with a bunch of recruits who don't know anything, all I can do is bring them back as much as I can. ”
"But......" Li Duoan opened his mouth, but he could not refute.
This should perhaps be summed up as the nature of the evolutionary aggregate of the race over thousands of years. The simple character of these lowest, most ordinary soldiers is the cornerstone of the Federation's navy's modern dominance of the universe. From the very beginning of birth, the brainwashing education in the name of honor and mission has instilled the so-called obedience to orders as a soldier's duty in the depths of everyone's souls.
In the midst of fanaticism, perhaps someone will generously accept the fate of mortality. However, how many people are willing to accept and carry out the command that goes against their instinct in a state of sanity.
In Li Duoan's opinion, this lieutenant of the Marine Corps is such a madman. She didn't care if the orders she received were reasonable, and she didn't care if the so-called friendly forces were strong and powerful. What made Li Duoan even more reluctant to admit was the fact that Haili, a Marine Corps lieutenant, had never expected the Army's performance from the beginning.
Strong and confident, this is Haili in Li Duoan's eyes and the commando team she leads. It is true that at the beginning, Li Duoan looked down on this group of marines.
The equipment is not as good as the army, and the military training does not involve ground attack courses, when did these people who fought on starships understand ground combat. Such thoughts pervade the army system. All the armies always immersed themselves in the era when the First Empire's Imperial Army, with the Yan and Huang people as the main force, crisscrossed the Northern Sky Star Domain.
They did not think, or simply did not want to, the fact that the Union Army and the Imperial Army were two different things at all, and that the former was not at all comparable to the latter. The upper echelons of the army may still be sober, and those leaders who have experienced war must know that an army that has not experienced the test of war and has accumulated military merits and honors is not a real army.
Battered, Li Duoan returned to his chariot, and this time, he did not care about the disdain of the soldiers on the road. It's just that he seriously returned the salute to every soldier who saluted him. He had just learned a fact from Hai Li that he had to admit, whether it was the Navy or the Army, some things would not change depending on the uniform on his body.
No one likes war, and that time to dance with death is terrifying. It's just that some people overcome fear, and some people find something to hold on to in that fear.
Li Duoan didn't know what he should do, he knew full well that he was afraid of fighting. Such a self can't lead his more than 300 people to victory and glory, but the slick regiment leader won't do anything to him, just because of his unwanted family background.
Early the next morning, with five minutes to get up before the Union servicemen, the enemy shelling roared five minutes before they got up, as if agreed.
Li Duoan, who hadn't closed his eyes all night, but had just squinted his eyes, immediately jumped up, grabbed the saber with one hand, and buckled the helmet with the other. Like the countless movements he had imagined in his mind, there was no thought at all, and all kinds of tactical commands came out of his mouth directly.
"Urgent Notice: Enemy Attack. All shelling positions were de-insured with fire. Reverse the trajectory and immediately launch fire suppression. The non-commissioned officers of each attack group confirm the status of the members, and all personnel are ready for combat. The medical team is ready to receive the wounded. ”
The soldiers of the army are always well-trained, and they start to act as soon as they receive orders. They don't care who gives the order, the only thing they care about is whether there is an order. Without an order, they would rather wait, even if that waiting would result in death, which may be the mournful sorrow of the Union soldiers.
Unlike the Army's nervous counterattacks, the Marines unhurriedly cursed from the foxholes. The newly created army was well equipped, while the marines were not, and had to sleep in foxholes they had dug before. Despite the differential treatment, the Marines can always have fun in their suffering. They took the sound of the fragments of the shells striking on the composite armor plates as music.
"Lieutenant, the coordinates of the shelling have been determined, ready to counterattack." Li Duoan watched his subordinates nervously shoot Zhu Yuan, but helplessly found that he had not received the order to fire. Back in yesterday's battle, his own command was taken away by the lieutenant of the Marine Corps.
Like most Marines, Hayley had just slid from the foxhole to the bottom of the chariot. She didn't forget the coffee cup in her hand, and as she did yesterday, she drank coffee with "condiments" - the dust raised by the vibration. For Haili and those Marines, the battle now was as constant as many battles fought on the surface of Alpha.
The Angor launched an artillery attack, then the Marines returned fire, the Angor retreated, and then the Marines pursued.
The change came from their own allies, and in the army's communication channel, several orders were issued in a matter of seconds, but the accurate and clear orders sounded in the communication almost synchronously at the moment when the shells screamed. The hurried tone strangely reassured the recruits of the Army. Hai Li, who was already ready to accept the result of another major casualty, only nodded slightly in agreement after the initial shock.
"Order the various gun emplacements to immediately carry out suppressive fire."
The Marine Corps actually had very few artillery on a large scale. They are more accustomed to calling fire strikes from space. Compared with the army's specially equipped artillery units, this approach is much more expensive and cumbersome. Haili didn't think of it at first, and it was only because she was used to fighting without artillery support. Li Duoan's report just reminded Haili that she also has the ability to counter the shelling.
"Professional matters really have to be handed over to professional officers to be responsible." After the suppressive artillery bombardment of his own side was fired, he directly suppressed the artillery fire of the Angge people. The small-caliber, low-threat artillery of the other side is obviously not a match for the powerful automatic equipment on the Federation's side.
Haili, like the rest of the Marines, crawled out from under the tank, casually patted the dust on her body with her hands, checked the condition of the rifles, and assembled in small groups. They know very well that when the artillery fire stops, it is time to attack.
The army's artillery fire suddenly stopped, and Haili only had time to glance at the casualty list, three people were killed in the shelling, and more than a dozen soldiers were wounded. Although her heart was vaguely painful about the three of them, Haili didn't have time to grieve. She couldn't stop because according to the plan, she was going to show this group of newcomers to the army how to fight in the city today.
For the Federation Navy, it is not a problem to defeat or destroy the enemy, but they find it tricky to deal too much collateral damage while fighting. Although, a month here has made it clear to everyone in the Federal Navy that the Ang Ge people do not understand the true meaning of compromise.
"Marines, attack. Mission: Clear the town ahead. ”
The lieutenant who gave such a ruthless and cold order was actually very gentle, and everyone who knew her thought so. Lieutenant Haili was gentle and harmless as a hamster.
Although she is cold-faced under normal circumstances, she strictly enforces military discipline, and will also accurately act to the second on days when there is no combat mission, which makes a large group of violent elements, including her direct commander, tremble. But in addition to that, she is a federal officer who can enter the promotional video and behaves super exemplary.
Although he was a selected commando member of the Marine Corps, the group of guys had only come into contact with Haili a month ago, and they had no idea what kind of experience the guy who was called a hamster by his direct commander had been. The old folks, who were originally part of the Marine Corps under the USS Confederation, were completely dismissive of the superficial views of those people.
Haili's coldness is not so much a gentle character, but rather that she did not put it on an equal footing with others in the first place. As the original full-time Marine of the USS Confederation, Haili's style of conduct can be described as unruly. After all, it was a member of the Marine Corps directly under the Grand Admiral's Seat Ship, a special unit with the greatest responsibility for protecting the safety of the flagship. For a Yanhuang person who chooses a military career, it is an honor that can be proud of a lifetime even if it is just one of them.
In terms of Mu Zhendong and Hai Li's years of experience, Mu Zhendong is very sure that only when Hai Li does not hesitate to add up his fists and feet, it means that you are treated as a friend, not a comrade-in-arms. (To be continued.) )
