Chapter 123: Fiasco

Defeat is like a mountain!

It turned out that it seemed that in the years of peace had been too long, and in the face of sudden defeats, even the command did not do a thing at all to issue orders correctly.

In fact, in the subsequent wars, the command never issued an order for all personnel.

An all-force command is a mode in which the command activates a communicator placed in all infantry helmets to issue orders.

Orders issued in this way are transmitted to the ears of all soldiers by the command of any command.

It is a command transfer method that is only used in very special cases.

Even Wang Hao knows that once this mode is used, there are probably only two results.

One is "All the soldiers listen to the order, there is a Merlin ahead!" Immediately, the morale of the army was greatly boosted, and they returned home with a great victory.

The second is "embattled", the army is instantly demoralized, and the army is defeated like a mountain!

In other words, a double-edged sword!

And now in this situation, just when all the soldiers were struggling to support and the defense line was in jeopardy, the order to retreat came from the ears.

When countless soldiers heard the order, they almost subconsciously took everything in their hands, including the rifle they carried, threw it to the side, and ran away.

The originally tight position was torn apart by the Zerg in an instant, and once a gap was opened, the break-like collapse would bring a devastating blow to the other positions on the same front that were still intact.

The fear of the rout spread quickly and soon spread to the core of the position.

Now, even throwing away the wounded, including the medics, they are trying to run back and rush to the recovery site to try to get back to the space base alive.

Wang Hao is very glad that he now has absolute leadership over this team, which allowed him to avoid the initial and most chaotic period, and quickly stabilized the situation and adjusted the formation.

With the exception of the two deserters who were killed, there were no casualties among the team during this time.

As an on-the-spot commander, Wang Hao is still a little immature, and in the future airborne battles, if this situation occurs again, Wang Hao will sensibly order his subordinates to bring their ammunition.

Seeing that he had finally stabilized the formation, Wang Hao began to order the signal soldiers to collect the Huishui signal and retreat slowly.

The group fought and retreated, and finally came to the prescribed retreat location, only to find that the place had been empty, and even the recovery device had disappeared.

"These bastards!" After scolding, Wang Hao instantly felt dazed......

Lost and abandoned.

Then the signal corps heard the recall signal, not the "Yankee Song" that Wang Hao should have heard, and the recovery ship that came down from the Valley Forge used this song as a signal, but the unfamiliar tune of "Sweet Wood".

No matter how much it is, it is still a signal anyway, and it may be the last hope.

Wang Hao immediately led the team to run towards it, and generously squandered all the last remaining ammunition, anyway, if they couldn't catch up, everyone wouldn't survive.

rushed all the way, and finally arrived just as they were about to take off.

The addition of dozens of people made the already full recovery tank squeezed like canned sardines, but fortunately, the overload did not affect the operation of the recovery tank, and it didn't take long for the Vochak to enter the Vochak.

Take the Vorchak back to the space base, which is now in shambles and a mess.

Although the plasma cannonballs launched by the plasma bug cannot directly hit the space base, like Buenos Aires, they can be attacked by changing the orbit of an asteroid.

In the outer ring of the base, there are also a lot of vacancies in the originally dense spacecraft berths.

This strategic plan, which Starship Command named "Operation Wormhole", should be called "Operation Maniac".

Everything went wrong.

This is not a raid, but a preview of a campaign, build a beachhead, hold it, and wait for large forces and heavy equipment to capture or cleanse the entire planet.

As planned, this was supposed to be a large-scale campaign to bring the enemy to its knees, capture their capitals and key areas on the planet, and end the war.

However, it almost caused humanity to lose the war completely.

Still, some called the battle a "strategic victory."

Wang Hao has been to the battlefield, and if a reporter comes to interview him like in front of the station, he will definitely say: "We were beaten badly!" ”

On a large screen in the spaceship, there is a list of all the fallen soldiers, and you can search for the casualties of those you are worried about by entering your name.

At the top of the big screen, the latest statistics of the number of casualties are displayed, and the numbers are constantly refreshed, reminding mankind of the terrible price paid by mankind because of arrogance and arrogance.

More than 100,000 people were killed in this tragic landing battle alone, and the vast majority of them died during the landing. Of the remainders, the vast majority died on the way to retreat, and only a small fraction were actually attrition in battle.

Recuperate, recuperate indefinitely, that's all the orders that everyone gets when they get back to the space base.

Six weeks later, it felt like sixty years later, at the space base, Wang Hao officially became a platoon commander, jumped one level in rank, and directly became a sergeant.

Wang Hao boarded the Roger Young and reported to Sergeant Major Gerald on the ship.

I don't know if it was lucky or unfortunate, the Valley Forge and the Yper, which Wang Hao failed to board, collided in space.

The terrible melee on the ground cost the company about half of its brothers; The collision of the two starships increased the casualty figure by another 80 percent.

The bigwigs at the top decided that the unit could no longer be rebuilt by survivors alone, so they temporarily canceled its number and kept the records in the archives until the wounds were healed, and then rebuilt H Company, adding new faces and maintaining the old tradition.

In addition, there are many vacancies in other units that need to be filled urgently.

Wang Hao was very disappointed, because the only remaining survivors of H Company were his brothers, and he thought that the upper echelons would replenish the company's manpower, so Wang Hao was likely to skip the rank and become the company commander directly.

Sergeant Major Gerald warmly welcomed us, and said to Wang Hao with a smile that you have joined a smart team, "The best in the whole fleet!" Spaceships are also the best! ”

Later that day, he took Wang Hao to meet the company commander, Lieutenant James.

The lieutenant smiled softly and chatted with Wang Hao like a father for a while.

After participating in a battle, Wang Hao realized that it was not because of the preferential treatment of recruits in the army because of the preferential treatment of recruits in the army.

This relative preferential treatment only shows that the recruits are nothing and are not qualified enough to receive the lesson.

It is only when the recruits prove themselves in an airborne landing – a real airborne – that they are likely to replace the real, battle-fought and dyed infantrymen.
