Chapter 224: Captain
This was Shi Chen's first time on the real battlefield, facing the fierce and crazy imperial mecha group like rolling stones in a mountain stream, Shi Chen was nervous, but he was not afraid.
Feeling the fireworks bombardment in the valley, listening to the miserable cries of the imperial people around him, and looking at the shattered and burning corpses lying among the rocks and gravels and cliffs, there is no discomfort that a rookie should feel in the slightest.
Although he was a little reluctant to admit it, Shi Chen faintly had a delusion, as if he was born to gallop on the battlefield and live for war, and for a moment, he even achieved a true heart like iron.
This was not normal, Shi Chen felt an inexplicable fear of himself for the first time, as if he was not the self he knew.
The only thing that made him happy was that not long after killing Qin Feng, his mecha had already reached a critical value like Su Ye Cangna, and he was suddenly paralyzed, so he didn't have to continue to do this kind of almost butcher-like behavior.
The remnants of the main force of the Yumen Gorge have been cleared, and the surrounding flames and explosions have begun to cease and gradually stop.
In the entire valley, only the last fortification near the mouth of the valley, which was first used to form a temporary camp for the bombardment of the Union army, was now reduced to a hundred and ten Imperial soldiers, who had run out of ammunition and food.
Now surrounded by federal mechs and heavy firepower units, the strong and resilient Imperial sergeants of the past are exhausted, but they still have no intention of compromising and surrendering.
The grievances between the Federation and the Empire are not just a bloody battle of life and death thirty-three years ago, in which hundreds of millions of people's homes have been ruined and have a history of inhumane oppression, like a curtain of blood falling from the sky, pressing the hearts of both sides are extremely cold and hard as iron.
In the eyes of the Federalists, the Imperials are uncivilized savages, while in the eyes of the Imperials, the Federalists are synonymous with hypocrisy and cunning, although there are many similarities between the two sides. But for various reasons, I was disgusted.
Once you add the immortal blood feud decades ago, it suddenly becomes a bloody race battle between you and me.
In the end, the Imperials did not choose to surrender to the Federation, which is also very much in line with the inertia of normal wars.
The Imperial soldiers, who had reached the end of the road, dropped their guns that had no bullets, pulled out the officers' sabers at their waists, pulled out the triangular military spurs at their legs and wrists, and launched the most rearly charge against the cold steel barrier in despair and madness.
As soon as this charge began, it ended in a cold and explosive burst of gunfire, and the battle of Yumen Canyon finally came to an end.
But Shi Chen knew it. This is only the end of this battle, not the end of this war.
From the support of the federal military to the end of this battle, most of the days have passed, and Shi Chen talked to Suye Cangna about the analysis of the battle situation, such a large-scale division of troops will definitely cause a sudden increase in the pressure on the Ruther district, so after the end of this battle, he will definitely wave his troops back to help.
It's just that even if the first battle is won at the beginning, this mechanical hybrid brigade with the same battle damage of nearly two-fifths will be reinforced. The forces are not superior, and by that time, it will be another extremely tragic battle.
At that point, the victory will be won. How many people are left in this army?
Thinking of this, Shi Chen looked at the Federation sergeants who were cleaning the battlefield in the distance, and couldn't help but feel a little sad breath.
At the same time, there was a wave of exhaustion and weakness that had never been seen before.
He wasn't a monster like Suya Thana who could single-handedly fight the Imperials for days and nights. In fact, he is just an ordinary person in terms of physical strength and endurance.
After killing Qin Feng after entering the mecha's overloaded state, he was already extremely tired. Until the Rock Mecha crashed due to overload, he also reached the limit of his physical strength and energy.
When I stand up at this moment, I feel like I'm going to fall down at any moment.
At this moment, three scarred mechs drove closer, and the cockpit opened, revealing the figure inside.
In addition to a fair-skinned and elegant middle-aged man he didn't know, the other three were acquaintances, it was Bai Shang, who had not seen him for a long time, and Su Ye Cangna, who had changed to a mecha, and Su Ya Yayan, the third princess who shrank at her feet and was faceless.
"Captain Shi, hard work." The middle-aged man spoke.
Shi Chen was slightly stunned, when did he become a captain.
Seeing Shi Chen's surprised expression, the man smiled and said: "I am Chu Huai'an, the commander of the Seventh Mixed Brigade of Lu Se, your merits have just been reported to the command by Colonel Su Ye, because of the imminent battle, Commander Feng Shangming specially canonized you with the rank of captain, temporarily acting as the commander of the Third Mechanical Battalion, congratulations!" ”
"Congratulations! Old schoolmate! Bai Shang, who was on the side, also congratulated him repeatedly, showing envy and admiration.
What is the most valuable thing in the Federation, naturally it is military merit, when Bai Shang heard that Shi Chen actually jumped from a third-class soldier to a ninth rank in a row to become a captain, his first reaction was doubt and jealousy.
However, after hearing about what Shi Chen and Colonel Su Ye had done in the enemy-occupied area, the original doubts and jealousy suddenly disappeared.
Rescuing Colonel Suye, turning to battle in Nanling, capturing the third princess, blowing up the Yehua battleship, and assassinating Qin Feng's brigade, all these experiences and achievements are like legends.
It can be said that if it weren't for Shi Chen, it would have been impossible to win this battle at all, and the entire Seventh Brigade would probably have to fold in the Yumen Canyon.
With such merits, Bai Shang even felt that a mere captain was a little low, but he believed that with Shi Chen's strength, if he survived the danger of Ruthor safely, he would definitely be able to rise to the rank of major.
When Shi Chen heard this, he thought that Xu Qiusheng had worked hard in the Blackstone Military Region for four years, and he was only a captain, and he suddenly showed a long-lost smile, and the darkness in his heart suddenly disappeared a little.
After a few words of thanks, Shi Chen asked with concern, "What about the mission of our Third Mechanical Battalion?" ”
Chu Luzuo seemed to have expected Shi Chen's question, and informed Shi Chen of the prepared manuscript. "That's right, considering your physical strength, plus the fact that the Third Mechanized Battalion has suffered heavy losses in the previous battles, you are currently placed in the second echelon, responsible for transporting the wounded to the rear of Ruther, which is also what the old army commander meant, and it can be regarded as a little compassion and compensation for the combat heroes."
"Transporting the wounded?" Shi Chen was stunned, and was about to refute, when he saw the expressions of Chu Luzuo and Su Ye Cangna, he immediately understood something.
With such a great achievement, I am afraid that the federal military has already used him as a combat hero as a means of propaganda at this moment, and at this moment, I am afraid that as soon as he enters the front line, he will be killed by the hungry wolf-like Imperials, and before he recovers in good condition, it is indeed not suitable to be immediately transferred to the western city of Ruther to participate in the battle.
"Yes! Although it is to transport the wounded, it is also an extremely important combat mission, the Federation is now seriously understaffed in Sugaku, and this time the number of wounded is large, and you are currently one of the most suitable candidates for this mission. ”
Saying this, Shi Chen was not allowed to refute, Chu Luzuo patted him on the shoulder and said, "Complete the task well, maybe after this battle, you will be the youngest major in the history of the Federation." Colonel Suyer seems to have some tasks to give you, so I won't bother you. ”
After that, he took his adjutant Bai Shang and left in the mecha.
Shi Chen's gaze suddenly fell on Su Ye Cangna on the side, and before he could open his mouth to ask, he saw Su Ye Cangna throw something over.
He instinctively stretched out his hand to take it, and his already somewhat tired and weak body was suddenly stumbled, and what made him even more stunned was that the tentacles were soft.
When I looked down, I was a little stunned.
Lying in her arms was the third princess who was captured by Suye Cangna, Suya Yayan.
The princess was at his mercy with her dark and empty eyes open, and only the faint rise and fall of her chest and abdomen showed that she was still alive.
In this way, where does she still have the style of the unbeatable princess of the day, but more like a rag doll that has been broken by the master.
Shi Chen was even more keenly aware of a faint smell of urine, and his gaze at this princess couldn't help but become a little weird.
Just when Shi Chen was stunned, Su Ye Cangna wiped her face with a wet towel, and explained expressionlessly: "She is my trophy, but she has lost a lot of blood, and the wound also has signs of suppuration, I will go to Ruther to participate in the battle later, continue to let her stay in my cockpit I am afraid that it will not last until dawn, please take care of it for the time being, after this battle, just leave her alive to me." ”
It was not like an important prisoner of war, but more like a worthless pet.
The corners of Shi Chen's mouth twitched slightly, and he nodded a little indifferently.
Chu Huai'an and Bai Shang, who hadn't gone far in the distance, saw this scene through the mecha rearview device, and they were all speechless and choked, with a faint weirdness and envy in their eyes. (To be continued......)
