Chapter 19: The Relationship of One Side

For the surrendered troops, Johor Bahru was originally intended to dispose of them directly. It is absolutely impossible to carry prisoners in a sabotage operation in the mountains, on the one hand, to expose their whereabouts, and to divide troops to guard them. Special forces infiltration operations behind enemy lines generally do not leave prisoners. And it can make fear deeply implanted in the impression of the enemy.

But Ren Di denied it. Seeing Ren Di's denial, Johor Bahru persuaded: "Ren Jun, now is war, and sympathy for the enemy is cruelty to oneself. We can only think about ourselves. Ren Di looked at the Japanese in front of him, who had been changed by the war, thought for a while and said: "Johor Bahru, no matter how much we spread fear, our troops are so sparse, we can't intimidate all the enemies. But it can easily provoke everyone's hatred. ”

Shinyamaguchi said with a little impulse: "At least one thing that can be solved is a little." Ren Di shook his head and said, "Killing can't solve the problem. Seeing that Xinshan was a little emotional, Ren Di said: "After listening to my explanation, you are making a decision." Johor Bahru said silently, "You say." ”

Ren Di said: "There is a saying in China that we know ourselves and our opponents will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and sometimes we have to think less about the direction of our opponents. We are now in charge of the extermination of our forces by Fliglo. We're a nuisance to them, but for them, we have multiple ways to deal with it. Avoiding trouble and proactively solving it, two ways to cope. But once we show a fighting posture that leaves no room for survival, there is only one way to deal with the troops pursuing us, and that is to be vigilant at all times, to prevent our sneak attack, and all the troops to cooperate with each other. Because if they don't, then they will be killed by us. The troops pursuing us, from the Supreme Commander to the lowest ranks, had no choice but to fight us. They can't afford to lose. But when we are victorious, we will spare them their lives. As long as people have the opportunity to live, they have more choices. ”

Johor Bahru asked suspiciously, "Are you saying that if we spare their lives, they will not choose to fight us again?" ”

Ren Di shook his head and said, "No, what I'm saying is that if the defeated survive, then the other troops that have not yet been defeated by us will have a superfluous choice to fight against me." It's that people are afraid of trouble, and it's that generals don't want to be defeated. As long as the remaining troops have the slightest hint of evasion and the idea of whether the war is worth it. We're much less stressed. ”

Johor Bahru said: "If the soldiers we spared are armed again to continue fighting with us, then our previous defeat will not be useless." ”

Ren Di smiled and said: "If a dog chases me and bites, I will run away, but a wolf rushes over, I don't dare to run, I will fight it head-on." Victory in war is sometimes not about killing people, but about destroying the will to fight on the other side. The troops that have been defeated by me, but who have survived, will definitely be one step slower in the presence of friendly forces. As long as one-tenth of the troops of a regiment slack off against the enemy, the atmosphere can be quickly contagious. ”

Seeing that Xinshan seemed to be persuaded by himself, Ren Di said: "If an enemy who is a hundred times weaker than me provokes me, I will use Mount Tai to suppress the top and destroy the opponent by thunder, but if it is an enemy that I can't solve in a short time, my bottom line in the battle is set by the enemy's behavior." We're too weak now. If we do this in an absolute way, we will cut off our way, and our goal now is not to destroy many enemies, but to drag them down on this outer battlefield. ”

This dialogue took place in the early days of the battle into the mountains. And it is precisely because of Ren Di's explanation that the whole army did not develop towards darkness, as more and more troops were defeated in the mountains, each time the enemy was defeated, except for the casualties of the initial battle, all the defeated troops were disarmed except for ammunition.

These fled back to the rear with the shame of defeat, where they were ridiculed by their rear colleagues. The fighting faith of the entire army was supported by the glory of the nobility. When the glory that is more important than life is deprived, there is no certainty that the next time it will be won? These ridiculed troops are very much looking forward to laughing at their comrades and losing their glory.

During the month-long battle, Ren Di and Johor Bahru's troops fought a total of more than thirty-seven enemy squads in the mountains, defeating the same number or even more than their own number of troops again and again, and the opponent also cursed from the beginning to the point that he had to use honorific titles in the battle meeting.

Of course, this raid has put down the airship of four combat squads, and it has set a new victory record. The airship, which was dragged into the sky by a huge buoyancy and tilted at a seventy-degree angle, waved on the battlefield like a white flag of surrender, and the remaining Fliglo soldiers raised their hands in surrender. Ren Di's soldiers are hurrying to disassemble the barrels of these surrendered soldiers.

And the highly inclined airship in the sky is not finished, after the battle on the ground is over, the airship in the sky has not adjusted back to the inclination, because the airship airbag is hanging the cabin with inconsistent weight in the front and rear. The steam stove that provided the power began to catch fire after five minutes due to its tilt. The lower part of the cabin was tilted violently, and due to the large concentration of personnel, the boilers were quickly extinguished. But above the upturned cabin, after three minutes of smoke, an open flame appeared at this end.

Due to the fire of the airship cabin, which had no people and no supplies, the connecting ropes between the airship cabin and the huge airbag were burned in the firelight. This aerial catastrophe struck fifteen minutes after tilting. The hull, which had been relatively lightly cocked, broke in the fire due to the rope connecting the airbags. Suddenly out of the airbag pull, like a pendulum clock suddenly swinging, the cabin, which was originally sixty or seventy degrees pointing to the sky, suddenly swinged down. That is to say, many remnants of the defeated army that were originally at the low end of the inclined angle suddenly became the upper end of the airship warehouse.

A tragic disaster occurred, and many people and goods that were originally concentrated at the front end were turned upside down due to the upside down. Slammed into the rear of the airship. After a loud sound of wood breaking. These hapless people and objects smashed directly into the cabin, and a large number of them were thrown down with the swing of the cabin.

Hundreds of soldiers and horses, as well as the long barrels of the two turrets, were scattered with the huge holes in the rear of the swinging boathouse.

Including the captives, as well as Ren Di, the troops of Johor Bahru unconsciously opened their mouths to look at this tragic scene in the sky, these falling objects that resembled people and horses may have turned into corpses when they crashed into the boat cabin.

Looking at the airship in the sky, which had fallen apart, Johor Bahru said, "It's really comparable to a disaster blockbuster." Ren Di said: "War is the biggest disaster. ”

Ren Di suddenly turned his head to Xinshan and said, "You quickly take the troops to the east and stay away, leaving me with fifty people." I'm going to command the captives and see if I can save a few people. With a look of incredulity on his face, Johor Bahru pointed to the huge cabin that was swaying from side to side on the airbag and said, "That thing could fall down at any time, are you crazy?" ”

However, Ren Di had already rushed out at this time and replied briefly: "You take the troops out first." "I saw that Ren Di had selected five groups of people. Began to command the captives.

"You guys, all go over at once, and in two minutes I can quickly get anyone who has a breath out of it." Hearing Ren Di's order, the captives hesitated. But then Ren Di waved his hand and fifty soldiers picked up shiny bayonets, and with the bayonets of a row of soldiers, Ren Di took a breath and said: "My soldiers will be staring at you from fifty meters away, and if you don't run over, you will bear the consequences." Count down tens of seconds below. ”

Rows of guns were pointed at the unarmed and unarmoured surrendering soldiers. The captives quickly ran towards the drop point. Ren Di certainly wouldn't let his soldiers take risks. Of course, it is okay to let the weak do this kind of moral hazard with a big stick, and of course it is impossible to let others do it. Of course, it was a bit too hypocritical to let all his troops force these troops to do it, so Ren Di let the large army leave, leaving only fifty people to urge the more than 260 captives to save people.

When all the captives ran towards the place where they fell, Ren Di said to the troops left behind: "Maintain the formation of force suppression. I'll take a look. Then Ren Di ran over with these captives in the eyes of his own people.

In fact, Ren Di doesn't know if he really wants to save people, the war is too cruel, some people are driven crazy and kill in a frenzy, and some people are psychologically fragile and commit suicide in the barracks. Ren Di is not sure if he is strong, or whether his current behavior is suicidal tendencies that have prevailed, or whether years of education have made him unable to bear the fragile life wailing in front of his eyes.

Even rushed halfway to the road, feeling the squeak and swaying in mid-air, the huge cabin rowed through the terrifying energy, and Ren Di even had a deep regret.

Ren Di, who came from the era of peace, seems to have not adapted to this kind of war killing by nobles under the shining banner so far, and when he made this decision, he did not feel rebellious against the inexplicable arrival in this world to fight a war that did not belong to him.

Arriving at the fall site of a corpse, Ren Di heard a hoarse cry for help in the grass, and under the threat of the Grim Reaper's hammer swaying overhead, Ren Di carried the man on his back. This person weighs seventy or eighty kilograms, and Ren Di himself doesn't know where he got the courage from, so he slammed this person on his body and ran quickly. When he ran for three seconds, Ren Di heard the sound of the huge rope breaking above his back, and the huge black shadow blocking the sun fell to the other side.

There was a bang. The massive hull slammed into the ground, small pieces of broken wood grazing against his forehead. Ren Di stopped and put the person behind him down, panting loudly. The man who fell behind said in a self-deprecating and puzzled tone: "Miana's officer? Ren Di turned his head to look at the middle-aged knight with a bloodied face. Panting and said, "As the victor, I have the right to decide whether to save you or kill you. ”

The middle-aged man smiled like a night owl and said, "Don't expect anyone to be grateful to you, I saw that you blew up, the steel cable of the airship, and you made all this." ”

Ren Di shook his head and said, "At that time, you were my opponent, and I could only survive by doing everything I could to fight you." As for now, you are the vanquished, and it is my freedom to do what you want. As an opponent you are qualified to judge me, as a loser, you are not qualified now. ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "It's really interesting to have someone like you in Miyana. ”

Ren Di patted his trouser leg and said, "I'll order later, Fliglo's defeated army will look for you." This is the end of this little encounter. If you want to find a field, you are welcome to bring more troops to us. Ten minutes later, Ren Di disappeared from the sight of the defeated soldiers with fifty soldiers.

Ren Di saved the group of soldiers around the middle-aged man like a chilling cicada. In the middle-aged man's hand, a glowing healing potion swirled around his ribs and thighs. A few minutes later, the middle-aged man stood up, his face a little dirty, but he couldn't hide the aura of his superior. Look at a group of remnants of unarmed soldiers. The middle-aged man said angrily: "Raise your head for me, seeing you like this, it is better to let Miana's people kill you directly." ”

What Ren Di didn't know was that he had just saved this middle-aged man, who was actually Hilaribinou who was in charge of the entire Fliglo. As long as Ren Di just gave this guy a knife, the war that lasted for many months would be over.

This flight Hilaribinou is to take eight infantry squads (seven hundred and twenty infantry), four cavalry squads (120 cavalry) and an artillery team to inspect the east, the main purpose of this airship this time is not to exterminate Ren Di's team at all, for Hilaribinou, Ren Di's Miyana team is just a problem of ringworm, Ren Di They defeated a large number of troops, because of the less killing, so they are responsible for encircling and suppressing Ren Di's army, on Hilaribinou's desk is only a large consumption of equipment, The fiascos of being completely defeated again and again were whitewashed into fierce battles by the officers responsible for encirclement and suppression below.

A day before, Cilla's real concern was the encirclement of the thief General Batario and the contact with Miana.

Therefore, landing in the middle of the road was just to put down a group of encirclement and suppression troops in passing, and the real destination was to support and inspect the strict defense of the Batalio checkpoint, but unfortunately this batch of support had not yet arrived, and it was ended by the army commanded by Ren Di and Tan Bahru. These pilots of the airship of Fliglow had no idea what danger it would be for the airship to descend to a height of thirty meters, which would be safe to land even if all the airbags were destroyed.

I didn't think that Ren Di would ignore the huge legion on the airship and directly attack this group of soldiers who had just disembarked from the airship. The swift battle gave everyone a slap in the face. The fiasco witnessed by Hilary seemed to give the noble officers who fought against Ren Di Xinshan an incompetent and justified excuse, and almost no one said to Hilari: "Look, it's not that we are incompetent, but that the opponent is too strong." ”

And Hilary felt the justification of his subordinates' failures, so he was a little furious. Hilary thinks long-term, he thinks: "Now this non-commissioned officer Miana on the opposite side is only commanding a small army, and his own army is like this, if Miyana recognizes this general and vigorously supports this unit, then the troops here will not even have the courage to confront." ”
