Chapter 13: The Beginning
In the battle, in the battlefield, those who count more win, and those who count less lose.
But no one can figure it out enough to calculate everything - accidents happen all the time. When opportunity and strength are equal, the decisive factors of victory and defeat will be infinitely determined by the ability of both armies to face and deal with accidents.
And fortunately, in this life-or-death battle. We have too many sacrifices and regrets, and too many undeserved and unwilling. However, although our manager's ability to deal with accidents is a little worse, we have many accidents because of that one person who appeared unexpectedly, more than the barbarians; And, that big accident.
Yes, in the Second World War, the barbarians were exhausted by the conquest of humanity, and in the end, they died at the hands of two and a half men - those two and a half men...... One person is called Xie Ning, half of the person is called Xie Xing, and it can also be called a small hot pot. As for the last person, she called it Accident.
……
Many people have argued about this and have continued the debate for years.
Half of them thought she should be called Susu.
Because, if it weren't for her, the empire might have died of blood loss long ago, and if the empire had not lost blood, the Western and Southern Continents would have collapsed long ago because they could not get a respite from the pressure.
But the other half thought that she should be called Lin Han.
Because, not her, there is no one who is enough to fight against Longer and win the battle.
If the Susu was an indispensable determinant in the middle and before World War II, without her, we would have perished long ago. So Lin Han, this heroic and delicate Chinese girl, this genius commander who shines above the sky of our war civilization like the brightest star, deservedly determined the final trend of World War II.
One of them saved the defeat we started with, and the other brought us the final victory.
As a result, it also led to everyone arguing about them.
……
But in the end, everyone agreed on a name, and the last person -- her name was Accident.
Because, this series of accidents is enough to start from the time when our Imperial Yongwu received an order to escort the expedition into the Far North Forest—no, it starts after a confused night between our Imperial Yongwu and our Imperial Goddess.
If it wasn't that night, our Imperial Goddess might not have been pregnant, and it happened to awaken the Soul Descendant at the same time as giving birth to His Highness Frost, catching up with the dangerous beginning of the Empire and stabilizing the situation of the war, which laid the foundation for a series of accidents that followed.
If it weren't for that scientific expedition, our Imperial Yongwu would not have accidentally met the Dingbei Air Mother Battle Group, would not have accidentally discovered the secret of the space passage and could use it, and would not have accidentally escaped into the alien plane under the coercion of the barbarians, let alone accidentally finally brought back from the alien plane...... That fatal accident, and the genius commander who gave Longer the final blow.
……
In fact, there are many accidents that cannot be enumerated. But when two unexpected threads come together in parallel...... This series of accidents constituted many decisive factors and all kinds of crucial determinants of the outcome of this war.
And these many accidents, in fact, are just the two initial accidents, along the flow of time and logic, slowly and inevitably caused......
But this is the vast torrent of time and history, which even God cannot predict. We'll never know where it's going, and we'll never see the future in the gush.
It's just that when we are already standing in the future, we look back at the beginning. We will be surprised to find that in the era when the epic of the heroic battle and the legend of the starry demon war shone in the sky of history, in the era when the star of the magic power and the glow of the intelligent civilization reflected each other in the rising flames of war.
Everything is so natural and so ...... Accidentally.
- World War II, Vol. 5 - The Turning Point of Madness: The Last Battle of the Daling River
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
April 22, 2017, dawn. Mountains and seas, the south bank of the Linghe River in the extreme north, the eastern line.
He Xu squatted in the trenches, silently looking at the deep night. Beside him, countless soldiers were checking each other's combat equipment and life jackets, or blowing their rafts diligently. Not far in front of him, the sound of countless assault boats colliding with the ice floe of the Daling River was also rippling slightly in the deep night.
For more than two years, the human army has suffered countless casualties, but there are always some lucky ones who have also stood out in the arduous war. They may become the actual commanders of the great army, such as Gianna, like Sal, like Summer. Or become an indispensable backbone command force of the army, how to promise.
At the beginning, he was only the commander of Xie Ning's regiment, but he was nearly middle-aged, but at this time, he had already become an excellent general who had been trained by the flames of war, and he had a heavy responsibility -- he would lead his elite infantry division to become the arrow and initiator of a certain section of the eastern front of the Seventh Daling River Battle - the first stage of the Battle of the Great Ling River.
At the same time, his Third Infantry Division and several brother divisions also shouldered the difficult and heavy task of seizing the beach landing for the large army and opening up a landing ground on the opposite bank.
……
He Xu looked at his watch, and there was less than half an hour left before the last appointed moment.
He took a deep breath, picked up the walkie-talkie next to him and was about to speak, when a rustling murmur alerted him.
"Damn the barbarian demon field is covered, at this time, the spirit is not good, do you want people to live. TM made Lao Tzu need to arrange a special class of heralds. ”
He muttered, but turned to a figure beside him.
"Lao Li, go outside and let those heralds order the troops, start boarding the boat, put down the raft, and prepare to attack!"
He whispered to the chief of staff beside him.
The chief of staff nodded knowingly and walked out of the trench.
……
Not long after, when the chief of staff returned, a slight noise sounded everywhere one after another. He Xu raised his gaze again and looked ahead, in the blurry night, on the large riverside, one by one the black shadows had jumped onto the assault boat with agility, and the sound of the raft gently entering the water also sounded endlessly.
He Xu nodded in satisfaction.
"Lao Li, are the artillery and air force in place?"
He looked at the Chief of Staff again.
……
"Commander, don't worry, they are even in place before us, just waiting for us. We would first attempt to smuggle in silence and fire the first shot when we were already visible from the opposing barbarian position. ”
"As soon as our smuggling fails, as soon as gunfire is heard anywhere along the Daling River, the artillery behind us will speak, and the concentrated fire will cover all the enemy beachheads at the landing site and gradually extend deeper into the opposite bank. After that, they will continue to implement battlefield artillery fire at key positions a mile in front of each landing field, preventing enemy reinforcements or depleting enemy reinforcements. ”
"At the same time, the air force, which has long been ready, will also take off as soon as the cannon is fired and engage in an air battle with the barbarian air cavalry. When they gain air supremacy on the battlefield, they will support any tight place at any time, and we can call for fighter support and fighter bombing at any time. ”
Lao Li also replied in a low voice.
……
"Call, call fart! At this moment, the magic field communication that did not work was also called...... Lao Tzu is in trouble commanding his own troops -- let's use our old method, firing flashbangs at night and special smoke grenades during the day to point out the attack points for those fighters. ”
He Xu muttered indignantly.
"Lao Li, the old rules, after you stay, Lao Tzu will lead the team."
As soon as he spoke, he tightened his military coat and walked outside.
"Commander, wait a minute."
……
Lao Li shouted, his eyes flashed with hesitation, but he hesitated and said, "You won't be ready to charge again, will you?" Not so good...... Although you have successfully advanced to the earth, the legion has repeatedly ordered that the division-level leading commander, even the commander of the demon war will not be allowed to appear in the first batch of charging queues unless it is absolutely necessary-"
"Because of this, we have lost a lot of demon generals, they all consumed too much magic armor in the process of charging, and finally when they fought in close combat with the enemy army at the same level, they were defeated and sacrificed because of the consumption of too much demon energy before."
He said worriedly.
"Phew, the rookie civilian staff officers of that group of headquarters have bags on their heads, and they pat their butts all day long for their heads. If I don't go up, send my soldiers to die first? I can't do such a thing - I'm afraid of a fart, it's really your turn to die, and it's useless for you to shrink back. ”
"You always have to go to the battlefield, so you don't have to consume magic armor if you slow down? After you went to the battlefield, you didn't encounter the enemy's strength of the same level, and in order to preserve your magic energy as much as possible, you didn't dare to kill the low-level miscellaneous fish in front of you? And that is still a fart fight? ”
"Our ancestors during World War I still have a point, soldiers, the more afraid they are of death, the easier it is to die!"
He Xu scolded and walked out without looking back, leaving his chief of staff behind him with a wry smile.
……
"Little guys, congratulations on winning the lottery, this time Lao Tzu looks at you more pleasing to the eye and takes you on."
He Xu swaggered onto an assault boat under the accustomed gaze of the soldiers, and he chuckled.
"Commander, get out of here, we don't need you." In the midst of low laughter, several warriors rolled their eyes and whispered.
"Why?" He Xu suddenly showed a look of surprise.
"Damn, you can use it as a shield for us, but once the fight starts, your glittering Earth Demon Armor will attract many times more firepower - we are not similar to others, and we are still dangerous."
One of the fighters chuckled.
He Xu rolled his eyes: "If you are still killed with me, then you can only blame your bad life." Xiao Huang, squad leader Huang, what's the matter, the peace charm your mother asked you for didn't shine today? ”
"Phew! What are you talking about, Commander? The peace charm will shine every time, and this time is no exception, Master Commander, you crow's mouth should stay away from me! ”
The squad leader, known as Xiao Huang, suddenly looked nervous, causing He Xu to desperately suppress laughter and the crowd's low laughter.
……
"You, don't worry, even if the soul of the ancestor takes a nap, it will wake up immediately. And there's the Goddess of Empire behind you. You are a little yellow, but you have a double insurance. ”
He Xu said with a smile.
"That's it." Xiao Huang was also excited: "With His Royal Highness here, what are we afraid of?" As long as you don't cross the ranks, even if the enemy presses Lao Tzu by a few levels, Lao Tzu will dare to say a well-known dry word - I don't know who will die! ”
The warriors also chuckled, and their faces were full of pride, and they all whispered in agreement.
He looked at his warriors with satisfaction, and he smiled for a moment and looked at his watch again.
"Alright, don't make a fuss, it's time soon—follow me, we're going to get started!"
He retracted his smile and said in a deep voice.
The crowd fell silent, and the soldiers lay down on the boat in an orderly manner, and the Crystal Heavy at the bow of the boat had already opened the safety of the machine gun and had his deputy supply the machine gun with a chain.
With the slight hum of the Magic Crystal engine, the boat where He Xu was was already in the lead, and gradually accelerated, heading towards the opposite shore. Behind them, a large number of hazy figures also accelerated in the night, surging towards the opposite bank. (To be continued.) )
