182. Decadent soldiers

After a short break, except for those who were badly wounded, the rest of the airborne regiment had integrated into the recruits. Ever since they knew that they were going to be incorporated into this reading group, many soldiers had certain ideas. After all, it was the main combat group before, but suddenly it became a "militia" armed group, and no one can understand such a gap. But an order is an order, and there is little room for bargaining. Who made them the defeated army, and they didn't even have the confidence to speak?

With a lot of reluctance, the soldiers scattered and distributed into various squads. Their task is to train these recruits in cooperation with the previous captain, so that they can become familiar with and master the use and coordination of firearms as soon as possible.

The unwilling result seems to be not very cooperative, and when assisting in training, it also behaves averagely. And the golden five-star soldiers that Zhao Li originally brought had long wanted to distinguish themselves from these so-called regular soldiers, and in the process of training recruits, they were also constantly competing openly and secretly.

The soldiers of the airborne regiment, of course, will not be intimidated by such a formation. The dignified main airborne regiment can be surpassed by a group of soldiers and ruffians serving in the marginal areas, and that is a shameful thing. The soldiers who were assigned were also gearing up, ready to compete with the recruits in secret.

However, they are destined to be disappointed. Although those captains were indeed ruffians in the past, they can now be said to be quasi-special soldiers who have passed the most severe test of blood and fire. Zhao Li and Sanders had practiced frantically in the past few months, except for their mediocre performance in the cultivation of combat techniques, almost all other items could be called excellent.

What made those airborne regiment soldiers ignore the world even more was that each of these captains, each of them had a kind of self-confidence without reason, as if they firmly believed that as long as Zhao Li led them, there would be no obstacles that could not be broken through, and there would be no enemies that could not be destroyed. Even a battle-hardened warrior could not understand where this confidence came from, and whether it was just a small victory.

One thing that everyone may not realize is that it is this unspeakable self-confidence that allows each of those recruit captains to perform extraordinarily. Or this is the most direct psychological feeling of the team after the big victory and the soldiers who have just been wiped out and most of the soldiers who have retreated in disarray, and it also indirectly affects morale and other aspects of performance.

His mind was depressed, but the recruits were high-spirited, forming a strong contrast. In the face of such a warm training atmosphere of the recruits, the fighters of the airborne regiment could not understand it. In his words, he couldn't help but have some inappropriate ridicule, of course, not only to the recruits and soldiers, but also to Zhao Li.

The reaction of the Golden Five-Star fighters surprised these guys in the Airborne Regiment. It seems that in Jin Wuxing, it's okay for you to scold the street, and it's okay to scold any person's mother, but there is an exception, you must not speak ill of Zhao Li in Zhao Li's barracks. Even if it's not a bad thing, just a slight expression of any dissatisfaction will not work.

In the hearts of the veterans, Zhao Li regained their dignity, gave them self-confidence, gave them honor, and stood up for their injured companions to seek justice for them. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are reborn parents, and every original warrior of the Golden Five Star has an indescribable strong sense of belonging to Zhao Li. It is precisely this sense of belonging that allows them to follow Zhao Li to death without hesitation and complete the impossible task.

In the minds of the new soldiers, Zhao Li is a Zhao madman, a strongman who has continuously eliminated the two armed drug traffickers of the Black Prison Mercenary Group and the Black Dragon Society, and restrained the Tiger Organization, the hope that brings Jin Wuxing a new life, and the savior who risked his life to defend their homeland. How can these people say Zhao Li like this?

Even the soldiers of those airborne regiments, Zhao Li can be said to have a life-saving grace for them. Although they don't say it, they know it themselves. However, they did not expect that a small scratch would become such a situation, which they never expected. Even in the original ranks of the airborne regiment, speaking ill of the regiment commander was not a big deal. There has never been such a situation where the whole army is united and even a small word can be unbearable.

As a result, the private tricks and feet that were originally secretly with the captains of Jin Wuxing evolved into an open competition. In front of all the assembled recruits, the captains, the original Golden Five Star soldiers, jointly challenged the soldiers of the Airborne Regiment. The subjects to challenge are decided by the representatives of the fighters of the Airborne Regiment, and the candidates for the contest are also chosen by themselves, and even to the disbelief of the fighters, even their opponents can be chosen by them.

In the army, especially in front of so many neatly assembled recruits, how could the soldiers of the airborne regiment swallow such a breath? Immediately refused to admit defeat and began the contest.

The result of the contest between the two sides has always been unacceptable to those who claim to be regular soldiers. In the vast majority of subjects, it is the captain of the recruits, and the original Golden Five-Star ruffians win, and only a small number of them, such as in the competition of combat techniques, or in the aerial events they have never trained, these soldiers will lose slightly. But in the subjects of the infantry canon, whether it is the cooperation of individual soldiers or collectives, the soldiers of the airborne regiment have lost a mess.

Looking at the results of such a real battle, the fighters of these airborne regiments could not even believe what was happening in front of their eyes. Could it be that the rigorous training they had been subjected to was not as useful as the special training that the young commander Zhao Luozi had received for less than a year? In the face of the clear result, almost everyone lowered their heads.

Affected by the previous defeat and the abandonment of their superiors, the cancellation of a series of bad news, and the subsequent defeat in front of the recruits, the soldiers of the Airborne Regiment were never able to exert their high morale. Even in the auxiliary training every day, although the movements are standard, no matter where you look at it, it seems to lack such a spirit. And those recruits, looking at them, seemed to be a little unconvinced, which made their auxiliary training work even more difficult to continue.

Zhao Li sensitively discovered the problem, in the previous battle, Zhao Li did not stop him, and he also wanted to see what kind of strength the soldiers of these main regiments had. However, after reading it, to be honest, Zhao Li was very disappointed. Could it be that the fighters of the main combat regiment in the army are such qualities?

"Your standards are too high!" Sanders saw Zhao Li's puzzlement very clearly: "Think about what kind of people you face every day, do you require each of them to have the same quality as us?" Think about how you looked when you first entered Mountbatten, you weren't as good as them. ”

This is true, Zhao Li entered Mountbatten Prison immediately after finishing his recruit training. There, the prison guards were all pulled over from the special forces and the gendarmerie, and even among the prisoners, only Kang Hongyuan and Professor Hans were relatively ordinary, and the others, which one was not a good hand?

These people from the genius school I came into contact with later were even more young and handsome, and every one of them pulled out was the best warrior. If the soldiers are to be judged by this standard, then the fighters of the airborne regiment are indeed a little inadequate.

The current fighters of the airborne regiment can simply be described as depressed. They had just suffered defeat on the enemy's side, and they had returned home with the irregulars on their own side, and there was no need for others to say anything, but the eyes of the recruits who had just joined the army for a few days were enough to make them unable to raise their heads.

If they are allowed to continue like this, these people will not be able to help themselves at all, but will become a burden. After a brief discussion with Li Mengdie Sanders, Zhao Li gathered these people alone.

"Look at you, are you still glorious Union soldiers?" In front of a group of warriors who seemed to have lost their spirits, Zhao Li stood on a platform more than a foot high, making sure that everyone could see him. Facing the soldiers, his first words were stern questioning.

No one answered, it seemed that there was no hope for the fighters. The big defeat and the cancellation of the number are indeed not acceptable to everyone.

"All of them, Lizheng!" These people seem to be even more decadent than when they first came to Jin Wuxing. It is estimated that the huge psychological gap between the main combat regiment and the recruit reading force regiment has made them have no hope at all, and Zhao Li can only use some old tricks.

"I know that you are not convinced, you are unwilling, you feel that you have been abandoned and have no hope." Zhao Li looked at these guys who were reluctant to stand upright, but they didn't have the sharpness of a soldier at all, and wanted to get angry but didn't know where the anger came from: "Very good, even when I look at you, I feel that you are completely hopeless." ”

"After losing a battle, I can't hold my head up again, right?" Zhao Li hates iron but not steel, these guys, if they are so depressed, it is better to send them back to the general directly.

"It's just a small defeat, and it becomes such a bear? So, have you ever experienced the experience of all your comrades-in-arms, all of whom died, leaving you alone and alive? Have you ever been shot by your own soldiers on your first day in office? Have you ever experienced a situation where when you were dying in a moment, your comrades stepped forward to block the killing blow for you in front of you? A series of questions came out of Zhao Li's mouth: "If you encounter such a situation, what should you do?" Suicide? ”

may be the last one Zhao Li said, which resonated with someone, and this question finally had an answer: "Sir, have you experienced all this?" ”

"Yes, I've been there!" Zhao Li affirmed loudly: "And the situation is only worse than you think." ”

"Sir, did your comrade-in-arms say anything when he rescued you?" Again, the voice asked in a somewhat muffled voice.

"Yes." Zhao Li replied affirmatively: "When he was dying, he looked at me and said to me: 'Thank you! This is the most unforgettable thank you I've ever been able to live through. ”

In a word, everyone seemed a little surprised. Veterans who have experienced the war have seen life and death on the battlefield, but they have never heard of it, and those who save people will say thank you to those who are saved.

"Why, sir?" This time it wasn't the same person, it was replaced by another voice of questioning.

"You can ask the fighters this question." Zhao Li gestured to the captains who were training on behalf of the recruits: "Tonight, give you time, you can have a good exchange." You can ask them, how many times have they failed here, how many times have they been bullied by those armed drug dealers, how many times have they been bullied and still accompanied by smiling faces, how many times have they not even dared to raise their heads when they go out? You can also ask them, why did less than two hundred people dare to exchange fire with the rebel brigade that wiped out most of you, and why they can walk anywhere in the Golden Five Star now, and no one dares to underestimate them? ”

The soldiers were silent, these questions, none of them thought about it. They didn't know the details of Jin Wuxing, they only knew that the original chief had said that here was a group of rabble who were lucky enough to meet another group of rabble, so they could be arrogant. It's just that their regular army was beaten like this by the so-called other rabble, and they never raised their heads, and they had to rely on Zhao Li and them to respond to it in order to withdraw safely. What they couldn't figure out the most was why when they were divided and surrounded and then concentrated, they were hit by the rebels, and when Zhao Li was in charge of the rear, there were only two people, but no one dared to pursue them wantonly.

"What about the warrior with the black gun?" Someone asked the question.

"He's the best fighter right now." Zhao Li's words made everyone in an uproar. The soldier who beat his own commander's black spear was actually not punished, and now he has become the best soldier, who will believe this thing?

From this point of view, it is obviously different from the original warriors of the Golden Five Star. Those soldiers, even if the sky fell, when Zhao Li stood in front of him and lectured, he would not be so chaotic.

"I'm giving you time to communicate, and I'm giving you time to think about it. Think about it carefully, you are still not soldiers, do you want to continue to be soldiers. In the end, Zhao Li finally said all his goals: "At this time tomorrow, I will come to ask you for the answer." ”

Looking around at all the soldiers of the Airborne Regiment, Zhao Li announced loudly: "I give all the recruits a choice, allowing them to quit when they can't adapt. Now, the same choice is left to you, and you can choose voluntarily whether or not you want to stay in the army. ”

"For those who want to leave, I am responsible for sending you away, and there will be no stain on the file, and you will retire normally." Looking at the soldiers who were talking to each other again, Zhao Li announced loudly: "And those who want to stay, I want you to think clearly, what do you want to do!" Disband! ”

183. The situation changed abruptly

The whole retaliation began with the delivery of a large number of anti-aircraft weapons to the recruit base of Zhao Li of Rainforest Mining. Although the materials sent by the general before, there were also a small number of air defense weapons, but it was only enough for Zhao Li to protect himself in a short time, and if he faced a dense air attack, Zhao Li could only be helpless.

But this time it was different, almost two transport ships, with all of them, were weapons of various types. There was even a company of engineering troops.

After receiving the order received, Zhao Li knew that this was the time to further build the rainforest mining into an iron bucket formation. This also indicates that in the coming period, the military's air power will abandon the protection of the rainforest mining industry and attack the rebels with all its might.

Originally, he promised the soldiers of the airborne regiment that if they were unwilling to stay, Zhao Li would send them away. However, after receiving this batch of supplies, Zhao Li knew that even if they wanted to leave, it would be impossible. The military's retaliation began, and if these people didn't stay to see the results, they probably wouldn't be willing to leave.

It's okay to communicate with those Golden Five Star soldiers in one night, so that these guys who have always thought they are the main legionnaires finally understand what is called failure and what is hope.

originally thought that it would be a shame for the soldiers to be revoked after the defeat, and they could never turn over, but they didn't expect that the situation of these soldiers on the edge planet was 10,000 times worse than the problem they encountered. It's not just that they don't have a number, they are simply ignored by the top. Is there a situation where the regular army lives to the point where they are oppressed by the local armed forces and dare not show their heads?

However, the current performance of these tenacious soldiers also makes them feel even more ashamed. In that situation, these soldiers actually stood up tenaciously, dared to fight, and became the heroes of the current Golden Five Star. In contrast, the decadent mood of the soldiers of the previous airborne regiment was really a bit pediatric.

Without waiting for Zhao Li to ask them the answer, they had already handed in satisfactory answers. Early the next morning, all the soldiers of the airborne regiment, including those who were wounded, gathered together and began to go out in full spirit. Although some of the wounded soldiers were unable to move, they were also supported or carried to the edge of the field by their companions. Their standard movements and uplifting spirits left an indelible impression on the recruits as well.

Looking at all this, Zhao Li felt a lot better in his heart. At the very least, these people will no longer be the soldiers who are easily knocked down by defeat, and they can become heroes again if there is hope.

With so many experienced veterans on board, the training was a lot easier. After all, it is distributed to everyone, and there are only a few recruits who need to be taught, and this kind of almost one-to-one education allows the recruits to master the skills by leaps and bounds.

It's just that Zhao Li doesn't have time to pay attention to these recruit training at the moment. The military's retaliation officially began.

It may be that Zhao Li was given time to arrange defenses, and the soldiers of the engineer company were engaged in intense construction as soon as they arrived, and it seemed that they were going to build this place into another barracks. And those anti-aircraft weapons were also deployed in several locations, camouflaged and so on. These have to be coordinated by Zhao Li, and his busy feet do not touch the ground.

All this was carried out in the sun, and Zhao Li even wondered if the rebels had already known about such an arrangement through radar and lurkers. So, did they also guess what big moves would be behind these arrangements? However, the rebels also seem to have suffered a great loss of vitality after the elimination of the two airborne regiments, and they also died down and recovered, but they did not make any moves.

Next, Zhao Li saw the largest air battle he could see up close in his life in the scanning of the military radar.

The rebels occupied the military camps in Akara and Saipan, and the military has long had detailed military maps. In order to ensure that a surname strike was effective, the military sent an air flying group this time. The scale that Zhao Li saw from the radar was ten medium-sized air attack ships plus five ground bombing attack ships.

Fifteen battleships lined up in a queue, lined up in a huge triangle on the radar. Without waiting to reach the destination, the long-range strike has already begun.

Almost thirty missiles, whizzing into the place where the enemy had gathered, as determined by satellite photography. The first round of precision strikes directly paralyzed the enemy's communications, radar, and air defense systems. Then came the massive bombing. The Air Flying Brigade flew in two directions, heading for the barracks in Akara and Saipan.

All means of attack are like a standardized textbook for air-to-ground warfare. The intensive bombardment was aimed at leaving all the rebels and their underground forces buried with the two airborne regiments. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the bombing, the military even resorted to carpet bombing, which was used a long time ago. Each bomb has enough yield that even if the enemy is hiding in a strong fortification, the shock wave caused by the explosion can shock the enemy to death.

The blow lasted for half an hour, and it was believed that no more than 10 percent of the rebels would be able to escape from the bombed area. When the video of the effect of the bombing was sent back, Zhao Li and Li Mengdie Sanders even rejoiced for a long time, but they didn't open champagne to celebrate.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, just when Zhao Li and Li Mengdie thought that this attack on the rebels had achieved a decisive victory, an accident happened.

Out of nowhere, an air attack group of the same rebels suddenly appeared, and the difference between it and the political axe army was that all of them were anti-air attack warships. The battleship formation of the Political Axe Army, which had just completed the attack mission, collided head-on with this rebel fleet that did not know how long it would take to recuperate and wait for work.

The air battle unfolded less than a hundred kilometers above Zhao Li's head. The attack force has been exhausted on the rebel camp, how can it be the opponent of these heavily armed guys, not to mention, there are still several ground attack ships in the fleet of the political axe army, and they can't compete with these anti-air warships at all.

Even Zhao Li didn't see it right, and he didn't have time to ask his superiors for instructions, so he decisively ordered the medium-range anti-aircraft weapon on his side to be launched. Unfortunately, the rebels had been planning for a long time, and only paid the price of two attack ships to completely annihilate this flying group of the political axe army. One of them was shot down by seven anti-aircraft missiles launched by Zhao Li.

No one could have imagined that this bombing would be such a result. I always thought that the military strength of the rebels on the edge planet was limited to some underground armed forces that had been bought earlier and the regular army that was repelled by Zhao Li, but I didn't expect that they actually hid a flying group here.

"Did the radar station monitor where their warships came from?" On Zhao Li's communicator screen, the general's face once again showed an angry expression. The purpose of this communication was to find out whether the ground radar on Zhao Li's side had found the location of the enemy's appearance.

"Can't judge, General!" Zhao Li still has that standard military posture. Ground-based radars only monitored the direction in which the rebel warships appeared, however, there was no exact location.

"Rubbish, it's all a bunch of rubbish!" In the midst of the general's scolding, the communication was hung up. Zhao Li was also surprised where the enemy got the battleship from. Journey through the planet? It is absolutely impossible for such a large-scale military transfer with so many warships and supplies in one flying group to hide from the opponent on the battlefield.

Looking at such a result, Zhao Li and Li Mengdie looked at each other. The rebels have such an offensive strength, it is impossible for them to have it in the past two days, it is clear that this situation has already been laid out, the retreat of the troops in front of them, and the elimination of the two airborne regiments are all bait to attract the air power of the political axe army.

I thought that the rain forest mining bureau set up for the rebels would let the rebels take the bait, but I didn't expect that the rebels actually designed a political axe army in turn. Such a big stroke can be regarded as a powerful character.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Li couldn't help wiping a cold sweat. Fortunately, before the attack, in order to prevent accidents, the military deliberately deployed a large number of anti-aircraft weapons on the side of the rainforest mining, otherwise, with such a large attack formation of the enemy, as long as there was a round of bombing, everything here would be in ruins.

"Where did the rebels come from?" Zhao Li couldn't help but ask this question. The number of people who also asked this question is estimated to be in the thousands. The sudden appearance of the rebels attacking the fleet broke all the plans of the military, and even the battle situation on the traveling planet was affected.

Then, as if by juggling, the rebels seemed to grow out of the edge of the planet all at once. Zhao Li and the commanders above watched as the surrounding areas were announced to be occupied by the rebels one by one, and then the military camp of the political axe army was easily captured by them, as easily as a bag to get something.

"How so?" Calm as Li Mengdie, looking at such a huge change, he couldn't help but ask such a question, not to mention Zhao Li.

The situation suddenly became clear, the rebels occupied an absolutely dominant position on the marginal planet, except for the Golden Five Star, most of the area was occupied by the rebels. The rest are either of no military value, or deserts or other wastelands, and there is no point in occupying them.

"Why don't the rebels attack us?" Sanders frowned as he looked at the situation around him.

"Because they took the initiative, they want rainforest mining now." Zhao Li also saw it clearly. It's not that the rebels don't have the ability to destroy them, but they don't want to cause losses to the rainforest mining by eliminating them. Anyway, now that most of the planet is occupied by the rebels, whether it is a warship or a transport ship of the Political Axe Army, it is impossible to enter the scope of the edge planet, and no matter how many additives the rainforest mining produces, it is only for the rebels to store.

And now, in turn, the rebels are worried that Zhao Li will make a desperate gamble to blow up the rainforest mining. If it were someone else, maybe the rebels would not have such worries, because even if they bombed the rainforest mining, they would not be able to escape the pursuit of the rebels. However, Zhao Li is different, the name of this famous edge planet is also accompanied by a crazy nickname, called Zhao Maniac. If it weren't for the time when the LTTE and Kang Hongyuan mobilized the people last time, it would be difficult to say whether there would be a Golden Five Star now.

For such a person, it seems that you can't press too hard. Anyway, the surrounding area is under the control of the rebels, and Zhao Li can't have a chance to escape, there is no way to go to the sky, there is no way to enter the ground, and there is time to find a way to solve Zhao Li, without forcing him to the point of being dead all at once.

"It seems that your name as a madman Zhao is not in vain." James was in the mine, so it was naturally easy to negotiate with them. Thinking about all this, everyone has another layer of understanding for the crazy name of Zhao Li. It seems that it is not difficult for one's own people to admit one's nickname, but to make the enemy admit it, that is another meaning. Zhao Li has such an "honor" at a young age.

"Damn, I'm jealous." After knowing the truth, Sanders also had this thought: "Why don't you call me crazy, you have to call you crazy?" I've done a lot of fucking crazy things! Strictly speaking, this is true, at least Zhao Li has no precedent for using chemical weapons, but Sanders has done it more than once.

"Do you still have the heart to think about this?" In this regard, Li Mengdie has a different view.

"So what should we think?" Kang Hongyuan is not here, and the head of the group has no taboos when talking about these few people. Sanders asked rhetorically.

"Don't you have to think about how to get out of this predicament?" Hearing his answer, Li Mengdie was a little angry.

"That's Zhao Li and you." Sanders shrugged: "I'm just a free man mercenary, not a federal soldier. ”

In a strange situation, in the midst of the rebels' eyes, Zhao Li and Jin Wuxing were firmly entrenched in the central Jin Wuxing area, enduring the covetousness of the rebels around them, which was not a good feeling.

"General!" When he saw General Lucas on the screen, Zhao Li couldn't believe his eyes. General Lucas, who was originally very strong, is now as old as an old man.

"Command!" General Lucas looked at Zhao Li, straightened up, and announced loudly. Zhao Li didn't dare to slack off, he stood upright and listened carefully.

"Command. The military commander of the Golden Five-Star Region, Lieutenant Zhao Li, was promoted to the rank of major and awarded Major Zhao Li the Order of the Red Star of the Second Class with outstanding achievements in resisting the attack of the rebels, and awarded the title of Combat Hero. The soldiers under their jurisdiction, who participated in the sniper rebel battle, including the soldiers who died, were each awarded a third-class Red Star Medal and the title of combat hero, and the soldiers who still served in the army were each upgraded by one level. When the general announced, it was always a neutral voice, completely out of harmony with his appearance.

"Yes, General! Thank you, General! Zhao Li saluted with a standard standing upright. It's not easy, and at this time, the above remembered to give himself a military rank and a medal. Fortunately, none of the soldiers who participated in the battle were left behind, and they all had a reward.

"Command!" The general gave another order, and Zhao Li hurriedly stood up again.

"Major Zhao Li is fully responsible for the military command of the edge planet and controls all the political axe soldiers on the edge planet. Grant authority for local conscription. When the general announced this order, he kept looking at Zhao Li's expression. And Zhao Li didn't seem to react.

"While resolutely guaranteeing five-star security, we will recover other areas occupied by the rebels as appropriate." The general finally announced that he had completed the order, and then sighed heavily: "Zhao Li, you have to hold on, Edge Planet, we can't provide any help for the time being, it's all up to you." ”

"Yes, General!" An order is an order, there is no room for maneuver, Zhao Li straightened up and asked: "Is there a time requirement to recover the occupied area?" ”

"You are now the supreme military commander of the edge planet, and you can handle it at your own discretion." The general was very satisfied with Zhao Li's question, and sighed: "If all the soldiers were crazy people like you, how good it would be!" ”

(To be continued)
