Chapter 370: Charging Column

After the 1st Regiment of the Tianma Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army occupied the food warehouse, the regimental commissar Levmila ordered all the insurrectionary combat teams to go out on reconnaissance missions, and the main purpose of the mission was to concentrate all the red armed forces scattered in the old city of Chainis.

The food warehouse became the center of the uprising in the old city, and the indentured workers and red revolutionary forces who received the news marched in the direction of the food warehouse to join the Tianma Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, and some red groups even rushed over from close to the new city.

In three hours, the size of the rebel army expanded to more than 6,000 people and more than 2,000 guns. Reddy served as the head of each regiment.

Augustin served as the brigade commander and Levmila served as the brigade political commissar, and the assembled marines, the backbone fighters of the insurrectionary forces, and the members of the Levmila cadre regiment were enriched into the regimental, battalion, and company units to serve as grassroots commanders, political commissars, and instructors.

…

Ifrit Stargate Port.

After the fleets of the three divisions of the Pegasus garrison fleet were routed, this stargate port began to receive support starships from all directions, and by the evening of the second day of Operation Dawn, the surface cities of the major planets of the whole galaxy had already occupied the ground hangars and take-off and landing platforms.

The rebels drove captured starships and gathered towards the port of Ifrit's Stargate, some of which were private forces who had come to respond to the uprising, and some of which were freelancers who had left behind in the Pegasus system.

These starships were quickly absorbed by the fleets of Zorro, Vera, Barrera, and Sun Xiuyuan, so that the total number of attack ships of the red faction fleet returned to its peak level, and it was about to break through the 1,000 mark!

It had been a long time since the garrison fleet had come back to attack, and this gave the Red Faction fleet a respite, but Fowei and the other commissioners knew that the enemy must be preparing a more ferocious attack because the enemy was holding his ground!

…

At nightfall on the second day of Operation Dawn, the 1st Brigade of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army of the Pegasus Workers' and Peasants' Army ended its rest, and Levmila decided to carry out Fowy's order to lead the rebels across the new city, advance into the landing area, and seize the city's hangars and landing platforms.

"The appointed time is coming, Comrade Augustine, it is time for us to move forward according to the established plan!" Levmila suggested to Augustine: "I'll tell you what I think, you can see if it works, after all, in terms of strategy, you are the expert!" ”

In the past two days, Augustin and Levmila have been getting along day and night, and they don't look down so much on this polite guy, and the enthusiasm that Levmila exudes anytime and anywhere infects Augustine while infecting all the insurrectionists.

"I want to hear about it!" Augustine nodded and said.

Levmila swallowed, and then recounted to Augustine in detail with a variety of body movements: "I think so, we can't march directly to the take-off and landing area, but use the remaining day and night to try to attack the administrative area!"

But we are not really attacking the administrative region, there are heavy troops stationed, we only have 6,000 people, we can't compete with hundreds of thousands of enemies, attacking the administrative region, it is just a false shot, the garrison stationed in the take-off and landing area knows that we are going to attack the administrative region, and will definitely send troops to support, and the war in the take-off and landing area will be much easier! ”

Augustin very much agreed with Levmila's battle plan, his impression of this nerd completely changed, he stretched out his hand, shook Comrade Levmila's hand, and said: "Levmila, I didn't expect you to have such a strategic vision, I really underestimated you before!" ”

"This is all the result of hearing and seeing by your side, Comrade Augustine, it is a pleasure to fight side by side with you and make progress together!" Levmila said modestly.

"Pass the order on!" Augustine said to a herald.

Levmila also raised his hand to summon a herald and instructed: "Inform the political commissars and instructors at all levels that military secrets must be strictly guarded!" ”

…

The 1st Brigade gathered its troops, set out from the position of the food storehouse, and marched in the direction of the new city, along the way, this rebel force did not encounter any enemy, and there were nearly 30,000 garrison troops stationed here in the old city, but because they had to hold the huge old town, their forces were too scattered, and no garrison army dared to provoke the rebel army with 6,000 men.

Bruno and Simon acted together with the 5th Company of the 12th Battalion of the 4th Regiment, the two were a combat group, and they were naturally integrated into a company, the company commander was a very powerful soldier in combat armor, Simon was very interested in him, and he came forward several times to talk to the company commander.

It's a pity that his company commander has a little bit of words, which makes Simon very depressed.

Although the company commander doesn't like to talk, Simon still asked something he was curious about, his company commander was a marine, belonging to the 5th Platoon H Squad of the Alpha Company of the Storm Paratrooper Battalion Unit, Simon didn't know what a Marine was, he didn't know what the Storm Paratrooper Battalion was, he actually wanted to know more, but the company commander was annoyed by the question and ordered Simon to hurry back to his position.

The company commander was not a talker, but the instructor was different, he was very talkative, he often walked back and forth, talked to all the soldiers, and encouraged them to persevere, and the brigade commander Augustine ordered everyone not to rest until they reached the boundary of the new city, and they were likely to have to travel overnight.

The instructor comrades encouraged the comrades one by one, telling them that perseverance is victory, and Bruno liked such people very much, he always encouraged others, and could pass on his strength to others, so Bruno was very curious about the instructor.

When the instructor came to Bruno, he found that he was about the same age as himself, and seeing that the instructor was talking dryly, Bruno quickly took off the water bag around his neck and handed it to the instructor.

"Thank you, Comrade Bruno!" The instructor took the water bag and drank it in a big gulp, and Brunno was surprised that the instructor had only asked his name once two hours ago, and he had memorized it.

"Comrade instructor ... I'm sorry, I don't know your name yet...", Brunau felt embarrassed.

"Me?" The instructor pointed to the tip of his nose and said with a smile as he walked: "My name is the same as yours, comrade!" ”

"Instructor, is your name Brenaut too?" Brunno asked in surprise.

The instructor shook his head and said, "No, our name is the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army!" ”

…

In the middle of the night, the rebels marched to the Linyuan Bridge, a choke point between the old and new towns, a fully enclosed bridge with three wide tunnels that spanned the huge rift valley between the old and new towns, which had been a mine pit and collapsed.

The reconnaissance troops who went to find out brought back bad news, the bridgehead exchange cabin area leading to the new city was garrisoned by two regiments, numbering about 4,000 people, and the bridgehead exchange cabin area was a place where no one could open it, and Augustine knew that even if only 200 people were stationed there, it would be difficult for the rebels to think about it.

"The fighters are tired, do you want to rest for a while?" Levmila also saw that this was a dangerous place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he suggested that the rebel troops should rest and rest, and that they should discuss with Augustine how to pass this level.

Augustine nodded in agreement, and he ordered the herald to convey the order to rest in place, and asked him to gather the regimental commanders, and the four regimental commanders soon came to Augustin and Levmila, and Augustine said straight to the point:

"The marines I brought with me from Ifrit will form a surprise attack team and make a detour from the top of the bridge, waiting for an opportunity to deal with the enemy's heavy firepower, but this is not enough, if you want to capture the Linyuan Bridge and annihilate the enemy, each regiment must organize a charging column.

Our casualties will be very large, but no matter how many casualties we have to pay, we must enter the new city as soon as possible, each regiment will draw 250 people, form a charge column of 1,000 people, don't draw out all the backbone forces, there is still a big battle to fight behind, remember, move quickly, we don't have much time, everyone, go back and prepare! ”

"Yes!" Trotsky, Chen, Montage, and Parker. Reddy replied with a solemn expression, and then each returned to his team to convey the order and arrange the deployment.

Augustine's heralds soon gathered 30 Marines, and Augustine said to them: "Combat armor can ensure that you can survive in a vacuum, cryogenic environment for 10 minutes, I want you to make a detour from the top of the bridge, and wait for the opportunity to take out the enemy's heavy fire points when the main force charges!" ”

"Roger!" The Marines responded one after another and ran in the direction of the Linyuan Bridge.

…

When Parker. After Reddy returned to the 4th Regiment to convey Augustine's order, the commanders at all levels began to convey the order step by step, and the company commanders of Bruno and Simon naturally made this order clear to all the rebel fighters in this company:

"The death rate of the charging column is high, because you are the first to be shot!" The company commander, who didn't talk much, said to the hundred rebel fighters: "Whoever wants to participate, stand forward yourself!" ”

Simon dragged Bruno and was the first to stand out, and the other soldiers took a step one after another, standing beside Bruno and Simon, seeing this meeting, the company commander didn't know why, but he was very angry, he couldn't help but shout at these soldiers: "I have made it very clear, why do you still stand forward?!" ”

The soldiers were silent and continued to move forward, and when the number reached 20, the company commander suddenly raised his hand and shouted: "Okay, there are enough peopleβ€”β€”! ”

The instructor picked up a gun and stood beside Bruno, staring at the company commander with a serious expression, the company commander opened the mask glass, frowned and asked, "What are you standing here for?" ”

"The warriors need me." The instructor replied.

The company commander blinked, laughed dryly, then put on the helmet mask again, waved his hand at the instructor and said, "Whatever you want." ”
