Chapter 65: War

After more than three hours of travel, the 14th Company came to the front line, and after Charon and the commander of the 5th Company saluted each other, the two checked the orders they had received, and after confirming that it was correct, the two companies began to change guards.

The commander of the fifth company was also surprised by Charon's youth, but although he had doubts in his heart, he also knew that when the big war was about to start, his superiors would never mess around, otherwise no one would be able to withstand the anger of the family standing behind the southern army.

"Captain Delman, I wish you a great success!" said the commander of the fifth company, and after saying this to Charon, he beckoned his men to leave for the town.

The soldiers of the Fifth Company left in a somewhat muffled manner, where they had lost more than thirty brethren and, counting the wounded, had been reduced by half.

War is so cruel, whether you want it or not, it is always accompanied by death, either the enemy, or the comrade-in-arms, or maybe yourself.

Andaz's stronghold is a "V" shaped slope, and when it is surrounded by plains, occupying this commanding height means that it can output great firepower, even if the opponent crosses here, it can also become a nail, so that the enemy has to guard behind him, which plays a great role in diversion.

If there is only one Andas stronghold, then it really can't cause any trouble to tens of thousands of troops, but if there are more than thirty similar strategic points on this line of defense, the nature is different.

It is impossible for the Flying Wing Kingdom to lead a large army to suppress these strategic points all the way, not to mention how many people will die in these places, and the southern army of the Federation is also eyeing the territory of the Flying Wing Kingdom.

In order to avoid unnecessary losses, both sides did not adopt this method of losing both sides, but relied on the tactics of refueling to occupy strongholds and advance steadily.

The turf on the slope was torn open by artillery fire, the yellow dirt was stained red and black with blood, and when you looked down from above, you could see the soldiers of the Flying Wing Kingdom in gray military uniforms at the bottom, who were gathering the corpses of their comrades.

Charon was also lucky enough not to encounter the cavalry of the Winged Kingdom on the way, and the cavalry teams of both sides were crisscrossing the battlefield, hunting for enemy support units and logistical supplies.

The soldiers are repairing the damaged ditch under their command, the Flying Wing Kingdom just attacked last night, and the casualties are not small, it is estimated that there is not much spare strength to raid again, but just in case, it is better to repair it as soon as possible to ensure that there is the best combat environment at any time.

On the back of the V-shaped slope, there were a lot of mines buried, and there was only a safe road, but Charon still sent two teams in the rear to prevent the enemy from rushing up at the risk of death.

"Noah, you follow these and let the soldiers dig more of these ditches. Recall the three-dimensional crossfire net of his previous life, take out the pencil in his coat pocket, and draw everything that needs to be added on the paper.

Afterwards, Charon explained to everyone in a low voice the role of the three-dimensional crossfire network, and the officers present nodded frequently, and their senses for Charon also changed in their hearts.

In fact, there are already signs of a three-dimensional crossfire network on the battlefield, and Charon has only pierced the last layer of membrane and accelerated the process.

"Captain Stan, Captain Ella, Captain Benj. The frontal line of defense is left to you. ”

"Guaranteed mission!" Stan assured, patting his chest, and the other captain and his team went to the front.

Next, Charon arranged two teams on each flank, leaving only one team of reserves, and in the case of serious damage in the battle at the front, the two teams in the rear can also be transferred to the front reserves.

When there was plenty of food and water, and the rate of loss of soldiers was not high, they had to stay here for two to five days. If it weren't for the fact that there is no snow here in winter, the conditions would be even more difficult.

In the evening, the Flying Wing Kingdom began a tentative attack, with a small number of people, only half a company, scattered to attack the left flank, thus avoiding most of the right flank fire, but still killed a dozen people by the intertwined fire, and two people were also shot dead in the head on Charon's side.

The defender is always more popular than the attacker, and this stronghold originally had four cannons, but the shells were heavy and difficult to luck, although the 14th Company brought a lot, but it could not be squandered at will, and it would only be used when the enemy was really attacking.

Today, everyone saw Charon's performance, understood the advantages and characteristics of each of their squads, and made proper arrangements, standing calmly at the top of the slope, observing the situation in the Flying Wing Kingdom with telescopic glasses, and was not affected by the cruelty of the battlefield.

After a wave of enemy attacks, the cooking squad will heat up the food and send it to the soldiers in front, and the next battle will not know when it will break out, and if you have the opportunity to eat, you have to eat something first.

When night fell, Charon saw some black dots creeping at the bottom of the slope far beyond ordinary human eyesight, so he came into the ditch and shouted, "Be on guard!"

The soldier who was squatting in the ditch to rest was clever, shook off the quilt and set his musket on the frozen soil, but saw no enemy.

William's face was dissatisfied, and he said loudly: "Sir, the soldiers are very tired, you have to let them rest well, so that they can fight well tomorrow, instead of playing these tricks and dragging your own people down." ”

The soldiers around him heard it clearly, and they couldn't help but feel resentful of Charon in their hearts, today's rapid march and labor, and a battle, consumed a lot of energy, and even the rest had to be disturbed, so what kind of battle was there.

"The Wingers have touched up, ready to attack here on the left flank. The steady voice did not rise or fall, and Charon's gaze swept over everyone.

"Sir, we take turns resting, and if there is an enemy, the Brotherhood who is keeping vigil in front will see it. William chased and fought fiercely, and this flaw must be grasped in order to create a gap between the soldiers and the commander.

"Are you not going to obey my orders? Now, grab your guns, aim them downward, and be ready to fight!"

Charon's gaze became cold, making the soldiers feel excited, the commander in front of him said that he would kill someone. Everyone was driven away from their drowsiness and prepared to fight according to Charon's orders, but the seeds of discontent had been planted.

Stan, who was on the front of the defense, woke up his squad without him making a sound, and silenced the questioning voice.

Ten minutes later, when it was the turn of the resting soldiers, the anger in the hearts of the resting soldiers was increasing, and the soldiers in charge of the night vigil in the front ditch came with the news that the enemy had crept in.

The soldiers of the night watch are often the best in night vision, but the night watch soldiers have only now discovered the traces of the enemy, and the commander learned of the enemy's attack through what channel, and suddenly Charon has a sense of mystery in the hearts of others.

After the soldiers of the Flying Wing Kingdom entered the attack range, the soldiers who were ready to vent their anger from waking up, and the bullets kept flying out, and suddenly a series of screams rang out.

"Winged eagles, flap your wings and fly high!"

A shout came from below, followed by the shouts of the charge, and the momentum was enormous, it is not clear how many there were, but it was definitely much more than the fourteenth company.

Stan and the other captains couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, if Charon hadn't woken everyone up in advance, even if the night watch soldiers in front found out, with so many enemies, the firepower of the three teams of soldiers on the night vigil would not be enough to see, ** would have been broken into the position by the winged soldiers.

But they are now ready in advance, and under the fire attack together, it is certain that the opposite side will suffer heavy casualties.

Charon had reached the top of the slope and called in the few six artillerymen, "Load the shells and prepare to attack!"

"Report sir, here we can't see what is going on. ”

"I provide the location unit, you hit that place, can you do it?"

Despite not trusting Charon's eyesight, the artillerymen shouted: "Report sir, we can do it!"

According to the position unit given by Charon, the artillery adjusted the angle of the cannon, lit the fire rope, and the sound of "whoosh" sounded, and the shells fell one after another on the road of the enemy's attack on the gentle slope, and the fire flashed, and countless stumps and broken arms flew in the air.

Charon specially picked a place with a lot of people to relieve the pressure on his company. The enemy was numerous, estimated at close to three hundred people, and the opponent also had artillery.

Sure enough, when the artillery fire on the side of the 14th Company was in full swing, there were also cannons attacking this side on the opposite side, and one shell just fell into the ditch, and suddenly the sand and soil were splashed, and at least seven or eight soldiers died.

Charon suddenly remembered something and shouted, "Quick, move the cannon somewhere else!"

Charon took the wooden cart with the cannon and left, and the other logistics personnel also hurriedly removed the remaining cannons from their original positions, but it was still a little late, the two cannons were blown up, and when they fell to the ground, they had broken into four sections, and seven or eight logistics personnel were killed.

When the shells fell, everyone else lay on the ground to avoid being injured by the flying shell fragments and sand.

Noah heard the movement behind him, hurried over, and saw from a distance that Charon, who was standing straight, did not move, and his heart suddenly changed, he was still too young, and he forgot to avoid it in a hurry.

Charon was some distance from where the shells had fallen, and the splashes were no longer lethal to his skin, so he didn't lie down like the others.

Although he was not injured, the death and injury of the soldier made his eyes red, and he did not suppress himself anymore, and the killing intent that was dormant in the depths of his heart was like a tiger coming out of the cage, and it burst into the sky!

"Sir, you"

Noah saw the chief slowly raise his head, and was about to ask if he was injured, but he was hit by a strong killing intent, and his throat seemed to be choked, and he couldn't speak.

Charon did not speak, but ordered: "Noah, let the artillery hit fifty meters in front of the left and right flank defense lines." ”

"Sir, there are also cannons on the other side, so let's change the position with a shot. ”

Listening to Noah's suggestion, Charon shook his head, "Their cannons will be gone soon, don't worry." ”

Charon grabbed a broken cannon barrel from the ground, hugged it with both hands, and the fighting spirit of his physical strength boiled, constantly converging towards his arms, and when the accumulation reached the limit, he shook it suddenly.

The barrels of the guns shot through the sky, and the sharp whistling made the shouts of gunfire on the field suddenly choke, and the soldiers looked at the sky at a loss, but saw nothing.

"Keep attacking!"

The officers of the Flying Wings Kingdom shouted to bring the soldiers back to their senses, but there was a loud bang coming from their positions at the bottom of the slope, followed by a louder explosion, and the artillery positions in the rear were already in flames.

Charon fell to one knee, gasping for breath, blood pouring out of the pores of his arms, soaking his uniform, and Noah and the others stood by with horrified expressions on their faces.

It is very difficult to throw the heavy barrel of the cannon at such a long distance, and use the technique of concussion to make the barrel explode at the center of the opponent's cannons, not only killing the artillery, but also shooting through the cannon and making the opponent unusable.

Charon's arm muscles and veins were shattered just now, and they were still repaired with the little remaining fighting energy, and now it is not so serious.

Enduring the severe pain, Charon stood up from the ground, "I'll go and defend it frontally, I'll leave it to you, Noah!"

After being stunned for a while, Noah shouted: "Yes, I promise to complete the task!"
