Chapter 41: The Reversal of the Tide (Part II)
Federal Army Western Defensive Line, Supply Point No. 14.
"Tut-tut...... Crisp enough. The battle was over in no more than five minutes. Oh! ~ A very beautiful knife. ”
Squatting in the wreckage of Supply Point 14, which had been reduced to ruins, Lieutenant Auston observed the battlefield as if he were admiring a work of art.
Due to his special request, the destroyed Supply Point No. 14 was deliberately left untouched. After arriving here with a small transport plane, Auston immediately restored the entire battle process in his mind according to the traces of battle left on the battlefield.
'O'O'
On a whim, Auston even simulated the lightning-fast stabbing motion of Zoro, and following the trajectory left by the footprints, he pulled out a lightning arc and stopped at the place where the other Federal Heavy had fallen with a slashing motion.
"Hey...... It's definitely him! Picking open the heavy loader's visor with his toes, Auston took an unhappy snort: "Useless thing." ”
At this time, a terrifying man carrying an oversized sniper rifle and a big man almost two and twenty meters tall walked towards him.
"Pete, did you find anything?" Auston sat down on the body of the heavy loader behind him and asked nonchalantly.
The man carrying the oversized sniper rifle smiled disdainfully: "The Standard WO3 12.7 mm caliber heavy sniper rifle of the Nine Star Republic. In terms of personal ability, the speed does not exceed the third order, the athleticism is average, there is no 'Eagle Eye' strengthening, and the effective range does not exceed three kilometers. It's just garbage. ”
"In your eyes, there are few people in the Nine Star Republic who are not rubbish." Auston scolded with a smile and turned his head to look at the tall giant-like man, "Armstrong, what about you?" Did you find anything interesting? ”
"There's a guy who's weird."
Armstrong said in a hoarse voice: "The four physical basic abilities have all reached the third order, and there is no sign of special abilities for the time being, but the peak strength should have reached the fourth order." Proficient in free fighting, should be about 180 cm tall and weigh no more than 80 kg. ”
"Oh? Fourth-order, that's really interesting. Auston propped his chin in his hands and said to himself thoughtfully, "This time that guy has found a group of teammates who are not too bad, but...... Humph......"
"Sir, Brigadier General Bancroft has sent you a message."
At this time, several soldiers ran out of the cabin of the transport plane and reported to Lieutenant Alston.
Unlike Armstrong and Pete, these soldiers are not from the same noble Twin Star Knights of the Raymond Federation, although they are also the elite of the Sixth Army of the Federation, but in the eyes of the arrogant Auston, the elite of these special battalions are just a group of followers who take care of their food and clothing.
"Tell him I'm not available." Auston waved his hand unhappily.
Considering himself superior, he has never looked down on those pseudo-politicians who use the military as a pedal for promotion, and he can't stand the orders that these people give to him. In his eyes, only those in the Knights of the Twin Stars are true warriors. Moreover, he admires chivalry, believing that only 'knights' are the noblest, and he himself is an official knight of the Knights of the Gemini Order.
Unlike the Nine-Star Republic, where the Heavy Loaders are generally referred to as 'Knights', in the Raymond Federation, 'Knights' belong to a special military class, a title that can only be earned by the Knights of the Twin Stars.
And in the Knights of the Twin Stars, it is also divided into two titles: knight and cavalry. Only those who possess two or more special abilities are worthy of calling themselves knights, and in the Knights of Gemini, only 'knights' can hold the rank of officer. Warriors like Pete who have a high basic overall ability but don't have a special ability fused, and someone like Armstrong who only has one special ability are called 'cavalry', and unless they can meet the standard of two special abilities, their rank will always be private.
The Knights of the Twin Stars is a place where strength speaks, so after coming to an amateur army like the Sixth Army, Auston became more and more unruly, not to mention Brigadier General Bancroft, even Admiral Truman of the Sixth Army He didn't give much face.
"Sir, Brigadier General Bancroft has also sent a message saying that you will be interested in this message."
"Huh?"
The soldier's words stunned Alston before snatching the communication and extracting the message from Brigadier General Bancroft.
After less than a minute of staring, Auston's face became extremely difficult to look at. Noticing his strangeness, Pete and Armstrong hurriedly inquired.
"Damn, this useless waste, I knew these amateur soldiers couldn't be trusted! ~" Auston suddenly burst out, smashed the communication in his hand, and scolded angrily: "An army base of more than 4,000 people was actually conquered by five people. Fuck, even four thousand or so pigs are better than these idiots! ~”
"Five ......"
Pete and Armstrong looked at each other in horror, they couldn't imagine how five people could manage to conquer an army base, which was an impossible task even in the eyes of the powerhouses of the Knights of the Twin Stars.
"Then we ......"
"No more fighting! ~" Auston stood up and walked quickly to the small transport plane parked not far away: "Let's go back to base, Bancroft wants to make a deal with me, maybe I should listen to what he has to say now." ”
……
At the same time, the Sarma army base.
As soon as the battle ended, Robin's ** rushed up, surrounded several transport planes that had been started, and ordered the Federation troops in the cabin to immediately extinguish the engine.
In the face of the muzzle of the black hole and the murderous **, most of the transport planes that have been started have resigned themselves to extinguishing their engines. Immediately, the pilot and the federal army who had already sat in the cabin and were about to escape were brutally pulled down. At this moment, one of the transport planes took advantage of its unpreparedness to force a takeoff, but as soon as it left the ground, Robin, who was equipped with heavy infantry armor, jumped up and smashed its wing with a punch.
The unbalanced transport plane slammed into the curved alloy wall of the tarmac, and then Robin violently tore open the cabin door and shot into the cabin.
Such a direct and crisp killing made the captured Federation troops suddenly shudder, and those who were originally ready to resist immediately extinguished the thoughts in their hearts and obediently accepted the reality in front of them.
Soon after, all of the Federation's non-combatants at the base were grouped together and held in a group manner, while some of the combatants who surrendered were imprisoned at the base.
Robin's distinction between combatants and non-combatants is also a desperate move, after all, soldiers alone cannot make an army base function. While a handful of the Republic's POWs currently released have worked in logistics and mechanics, it is unrealistic for these few to keep this sprawling base up and running. Therefore, Robin is ready to ask Claude to draw some of these captured Union non-combatants out of the captives and use coercion and inducement to make this part of the captives work for them to solve the problem of manpower shortage. Fighters with relatively dangerous surnames are all imprisoned, and even when appropriate, they can be killed on the spot as an example.
Under Robin's iron-fisted policy, the prisoners of war of the 11th Army Division, led by Claude, successfully controlled the situation and kept the army base up and running in a short period of time. In this favorable situation, even in the event of a large-scale counterattack by the Federal Army, the defense of the Sarma Army Base would be enough to hold out for a long time.
From a prisoner of war about to be harshly interrogated, to an army base with defenses comparable to an armed fortress. The dramatic change in just a few hours made the prisoners of war of the 11th Army Division, including Claude, almost go crazy with joy. As their savior, Robin and his squad were also regarded as gods by the POWs, and now, Robin, who was only a second lieutenant, was even more authoritative than a POW with the rank of colonel, and any orders from Robin would be unconditionally supported by the POWs, which made the loosely structured POW team quickly cohesive enough to form a temporary command that allowed the soldiers to fully carry out their orders.
However, just when the situation in the army base was good, Claude suddenly heard that Robin and his team were about to leave, which made him and the temporary commanders in the base shocked, and hurried to the tarmac to intercept Robin's team as they were about to leave.
"Why leave! ~”
Looking at the outfit that Robin's team had prepared and the multi-purpose transport plane that had been activated, Claudra stopped Robin and roared excitedly: "Now that the radar system of the entire Federation Army is staring here, your plane will be shot down as soon as it leaves, do you really think you are Superman?" ”
"My mission is to blow up the federal military hangar and radar system." Robin smiled bitterly and said jokingly: "Although there are a few planes here, they are obviously not my goal, I probably went to the wrong place, hahaha......"
"Bastard, now is not the time to joke! ~" Claude pointed to the excited Republicans behind him: "Look, you saved us, you led us to build such a large army base, and you also blew up many supply points of the Federal Army." You've done enough, go fucking mission, even if you're on Yanjing, there's no way to blame you! ~Robin, we're going to win this war now, so you don't have to take any more risks, you should stay here and cheer! ”
"But they still occupy the sky." Robin pushed Claude away, shook his head and said, "Think about how Barton died, do you really think we have won this war?" ”
“……”
The mention of Barton's death by Robin made Claude's face instantly bloodless, and he gritted his teeth, as if unwilling to recall the memories that had tormented him.
"You want to avenge Barton? If Barton were here, he would never be grateful to you for it. And so am I, because you're going to make me lose two friends again. ”
"Don't be so discouraged from me, I've already done a miracle." Robin patted Claude on the shoulder unmoved, "Trust me, I'll be honoring Barton with a big firework soon." ”
“……”
Knowing that he couldn't convince Robin, Claude gritted his teeth with a desperate gaze and said, "Then let me go with you." ”
"There's no need, your battlefield is here. However, if you really want to help me, then use the strategic missiles in this base to see me off, I think it must be a lively scene. ”
