Chapter 374: Sacrifice

It was close to five o'clock in the morning on the third day of Operation Dawn, and on the way to the scheduled battlefield, the 25th Garrison Regiment encountered the soldiers of the enemy 24th Regiment on the way to the scheduled battlefield, and when they learned the news of the 26th Regiment's mutiny uprising, they retreated directly.

The Tianma Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army continued to move forward along the surface street network, aiming directly at the community of Ulbury, a well-known warehousing and distribution area in the new town of Chainis's Dolphin City, with a network of underground streets extending in all directions, and the people living here are mainly citizens of the starry sky.

On the march, the 1st Battalion of the Separate Regiment received an order from the regimental commander Kadeer, who asked the 1st Battalion to again serve as the vanguard.

As he walked, he mobilized the 500 soldiers of the battalion one by one before the war, and he kept emphasizing: "Comrades, we must be brave and tenacious, the more brave and tenacious we fight, the more lives of our comrades can be saved!" In a short period of time, overwhelm the enemy in momentum and crush their will to fight! ”

"Although we only have 500 people, behind us, there are 6,500 comrades as our backing, we are their vanguard, comrades, we must let the first battalion be worthy of the name of 'pioneer'!"

When the comrades of the first battalion listened to the words of the battalion political commissar Brunuo, a fire of war ignited in their hearts, and many people who had never been on the battlefield were both excited and nervous. Bruno took a few steps and stood on tiptoe to look into the distance, where the airlock leading to the community of Ulbury was already faintly visible a few kilometers away.

The soldiers of the 1st Brigade Guard Company, composed of Marines, had already begun to attack the airlock, and without pricking up their ears to listen carefully, they could hear the sound of gunfire and screams, which were those "powerful soldiers" clearing the way forward.

When the 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment, which was at the forefront of the insurrectionary forces, crossed the airlock and entered the community of Ulbury, Brunno saw the soldiers of the brigade guard company talking to the prisoners, and a scout approached Bruno, gave a naval chest salute, and said:

"Comrade Political Commissar, please lead the team to move forward, judging from the information obtained from the prisoners, if you want to conquer the Urbury community, you must first conquer the choke point leading to the interior of the community - the Ulbury Underground Distribution Station."

"Are there civilians in the community?" Bruno asked.

The scout shook his head and replied, "No, Comrade Commissar, due to the presence of the city garrison, the residents of the Ulbury community have left their homes and taken refuge in the homes of relatives and friends. ”

"Got it." Brunor nodded and looked at the commander of the first battalion. With a wave of his hand, the commander of the first battalion ordered the fighters of the first battalion to immediately move forward, and Brunno clenched the pistol in his hand, from now on, he was no longer the battalion commissar, but an ordinary rebel fighter.

The Ulburley Yard is an open underground storage plaza with countless locations for covert shooting, making it easier for enemies to hide themselves, and the overhead lighting is much damaged, much darker than the rest of the block, and there may have been a lot of fierce fighting a few days ago.

Soon after the soldiers of the first battalion poured in, the enemy's concealed guns began to fire, knocking down dozens of rebel soldiers who were exploring the way in front in an instant, and then the enemy began to fire indiscriminately with ferocious fire, so that the soldiers of the first battalion behind could not raise their heads.

"Hidden β€”β€”!"

The commander of the first battalion roared, and the fighters hid behind the scattered cargo holds, take-off and landing aircraft, and transport vehicles, waiting for an opportunity to return fire, and as they returned fire, they gradually grasped the enemy's positional distribution.

"The 25th Garrison Regiment is still stupid, they don't know anything about combat at all!" The commander of the first battalion ridiculed and said that even Bruno could see the flaws of the 25th regiment, and they opened fire almost simultaneously, and many enemies did not see the target clearly at all and were shooting indiscriminately.

In this way, almost all the positions where the enemy was hiding were exposed.

"Comrade Political Commissar, we can concentrate our forces and destroy them individually!" The commander of the 1st battalion estimated the situation and consulted with Brenau: "It is a good idea to break through from the right flank, their firepower is much more concentrated on the left flank. ”

"Is it a collective detour?" Brunno understood what the battalion commander meant.

"Yes, crawling from the right flank, you see, they are simply shooting indiscriminately with the ballistics of a few veterans!" The commander of the first battalion said, pointing to several fire points across the square.

Bruno agreed to the battalion commander's battle plan, and he immediately gathered the five company instructors under his command together and asked them to quickly convey the detailed orders separately, and when everything was ready, the first battalion took the company as a unit and moved towards the right flank of the enemy position.

Until they all quietly moved to the right flank of the enemy line, the enemy still did not know where his opponent was.

"Comrade Commissar, it's time to charge! As you say, in one go, the 25th regiment will be directly defeated! It is a way to achieve victory with minimal casualties. The commander of the first battalion took out his pistol and said to Bruno: "The two of us take the lead, and the company commanders and instructors of each company are second, and the soldiers will fight hard!" ”

"Hmm!" Hearing this, Bruno nodded heavily, he turned his head and glanced at the company commanders and instructors gathered behind him, and then, turning his head, he and the commander of the first battalion both stood up, and at the same time stretched out their arms and pointed forward!

"Ula β€”β€”!"

The soldiers roared out the long-held cry in their chests, followed behind the commanders and fighters at all levels of the first battalion, and rushed forward! This time, there was no fear in Bruno's heart, he knew that the warriors behind him would rely on him to gain enough courage! Just like his own company instructor once did.

The flames of war burned in the underground square of the Ulburley terminal, and the soldiers of the first battalion went forward one after another, from right to left, crushing the enemy's 25th regiment one after another, and the enemy was frightened by the sudden attack, and they abandoned their weapons and fled!

Bruno is always at the forefront of the charging team, he can already use the assault rifle proficiently, what he thought was difficult to use at first, now he finds that it is easier to learn than he imagined, just load, aim, and then pull the trigger, you can destroy the enemy!

Under the leadership of commanders and fighters at all levels of the first battalion, the soldiers of the first battalion showed the most courageous attack posture they could come up with and bravely killed the enemy, but this did not mean that everyone could be unscathed.

In the course of the charge, the rebel soldiers continued to fall, and Brenau, while fighting, shouted to the soldiers who tried to help the wounded: "Leave them alone, the troops behind will bandage the wounded!" Keep charging! ”

Bruno knew very well that the enemy was only defeated, and if he could not maintain this bravery, when the enemy, who was four times his size, relieved himself, those fallen comrades would pay for nothing.

We must take the Ulburley Terminal and defeat the 25th Garrison Regiment in one go!

"Comrades, rush, β€”β€”!!" Bruno's heart was completely burning, and he had already seen the dawn of victory - the last of the enemy's fire positions was close at hand!

But suddenly, Bruno's heart ached, his whole body trembled, he staggered forward a few steps with his assault rifle, and found that his breathing became difficult, he reached out and touched his chest, put his palm close to his eyes, but saw his hands full of blood, raised his head, he saw the commander of the first battalion and the commanders of each company shouting their names and rushing towards him.

Bruno knew that he could not hold on to the battalion commander running to his side, he slowly fell down, lying on his back on the ground, he felt that the enemy's shot must have hit his lungs, he could exhale out, but he felt that he could not breathe, and his lungs became more and more empty.

Bruno tried to adjust his breathing to slow down the intensity and frequency of his breathing, so that he could take his last breath and say a few words to the battalion commander when he came to him.

"Comrade Bruno!!" The battalion commander knelt and slid to Bruno's side, picked up his thin body, and asked anxiously: "How are you, where are you injured?!" ”

Bruno tried to open his mouth to speak, but a stream of blood foam spurted out of his trachea, and after coughing violently a few times, he used his strength to the battalion commander and other comrades around him in a voice that seemed to be leaking, and said hoarsely: "Don't... Tube... I... Go on... Charge..."

"Battalion commander, Comrade Political Commissar's heart has been pierced..."A company instructor said to the battalion commander in a painful voice after examining Bruno's injuries, and the battalion commander, there was no need for him to report, Bruno's pupils had dilated and he stopped breathing.

"Who can save him..."Tears welled up in the eyes of the commander of the first battalion: "He's just a child!" Which of you knows first aid?! Give him artificial respiration and press on his chest! No one answered the battalion commander's words, his heart was pierced, and he was not saved.

"I'm coming!" The commander of the first battalion threw away his pistol, pinched Brunno's nose and chin, and blew into his mouth, but a stream of blood poured out from the hole of Bruno's chest wound.

The battalion commander knelt beside Bruno, folded his hands together, and pressed hard against Brunno's shriveled chest, and after a few minutes of pressing, he finally accepted the reality, and he tightened his hands stained with warm blood and clenched them into fists.

Then, he glanced at the company-level commanders and fighters around him, and shouted loudly: "Comrades, we want to avenge the political commissar comrades, rush meβ€”β€”! ”

"Ula β€”β€”!!"

After a short pause, the soldiers of the first battalion rushed to the enemy's position again with great anger, and they only wanted to kill a few more enemies, regardless of the bullets flying and the serious wounded!

…

At the end of the battle, the soldiers of the 1st Battalion, after a heroic battle, annihilated more than 500 enemy troops of the 25th Garrison Regiment at the cost of 200 casualties, and expelled the remnants of their troops from the Ulburley terminal.

Levmila stood next to Bruno's corpse, his face gloomy, surrounded by all the officers and men of the 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment, Levmila had high hopes for Bruno, but he really did not expect that Bruno would lead the charge and die on the way.

"It's a shame." When Augustine passed by, he decided to stop for a short time, and the child lying on the ground, only 17 years old, patted Levmila on the shoulder and said: "Okay, Comrade Levmila, people cannot be resurrected from death, so keep going." With that, Augustine departed.

Levmila sighed, left the gathering place of the first battalion, and as he walked, beckoned several heralds: "Inform all political workers at the regimental, battalion, and company level that they are not allowed to lead the charge unless it is necessary!" ”

"Yesβ€”β€”!!"
