Chapter Forty-Six: The Battle of the Nest
When the enemy is shooting from behind cover, consider having all your team members rush out of the corner and stand in a row to suppress the enemy. It should be noted here that all the team members must move quickly and with full firepower, so as to beat the enemy to the point that they do not even have the courage to raise their guns above their heads and shoot blindly.
In this full-fire suppression, the magazine is also consumed quickly. Once the magazine is depleted, there will be a collective change of magazine, which will bring great danger to the entire team.
Most of the gangsters still use automatic weapons, so ammunition is limited and magazines need to be changed frequently. It's not like some laser guns in the hands of the Astral Army, which can shoot thousands of times with one energy without changing the magazine. Therefore, once someone runs out of magazines, they must shout "change magazines". Have your teammates adjust your rate of fire to keep your firepower suppressed.
Those cultists used to sit in the audience and watch these people fight to the death in the Colosseum. They should be relatively clear about the tactics of street fighting, but now they are being beaten in the city.
So, some things seem simple, but they are hard to do. Easier said than done. Don't touch the skin up and down, belittle the hard work of others as worthless, think that everyone is stupid, think that everyone is drunk and wake up.
A mountaineer can't climb the peak, but he should also know how hard it can be. You can't stand it or you don't think you have the ability and give up. It's okay, all roads lead to Rome, but shouldn't we encourage and offer experience to others who haven't given up and are still struggling to persevere? How to give up the person does not leave early, but has the face to ridicule, secretly stumbling, unable to climb up himself, and afraid that others will climb up.
You do so many things that harm others and are not beneficial to yourself, and you are so at ease? You don't update your mountaineering equipment and hone your mountaineering skills, but instead focus on obstructing others, why don't you have a score in your own heart?
Straight to the point.
In addition to corner battles in street fighting, it is not easy to quickly move from street to destination in a complex and changeable street fighting environment.
Complex street environments, ghostly enemies, and sudden cold guns will seriously restrict the speed of the entire squad. Here, street movement tactics are necessary.
If it is in a narrow alley, it is safer to move all the team members laterally with their backs to the wall, so that the whole team can suppress the enemy's fire in the opposite window at the first time, and they are in the blind spot of the enemy shooting in the upper window.
However, if it is on a wide street, this tactic is no different from suicide. On wide streets, there were much more enemy firing points than in alleys. Therefore, when moving on the street, you should take alternate cover movements.
First of all, the squad was divided into two groups, in which the squad leader should be separated from the machine gunners. One group moves forward first, with the other taking cover. When one group arrives at a bunker, they immediately put on guard to cover the movement of the other group.
At this time, the team members who arrive first should concentrate on their vigilance and never look back to see if their teammates are in position. Once the other group is in position, tap the shoulder of the previous group to say "I'm in position, you can move". And so on and so forth.
In the same way, when retreating, one by one, one by one, must not be scattered in a hurry, exposing the back of the entire squad to enemy fire. Movement through the streets should be done in the shadows as much as possible, because under strong light, the enemy will no longer be sensitive to people in the shadows.
The spectators who used to be high in the gladiatorial arena have now become the fighters in the "gladiatorial arena". They no longer have the freedom to decide the lives and deaths of others, or even their own lives.
The addition of these gang members successfully repelled quite a few cultists, but their small numbers were a big problem. Although their participation injected a shot in the arm to the allies on the battlefield and turned the tide on the battlefield, due to the problem of numbers, they still failed to deal a fatal blow to the cultists.
As time passed, the cultists regained the upper hand by virtue of their numerical superiority. The situation has become grim again for the residents of the lower nest. The Lower Nest Council reunited, and they knew that the time had come for them to die, and that they had no way back.
Mobilization! All mobilized!
The Lower Nest Council imposes martial law in the upper part of the Lower Nest and its vicinity. Residents were ordered to build fortifications in the streets, even near the headquarters of the council, and to form new militia regiments to prepare the city for street fighting.
Almost all the residents of Xiachao were mobilized, and within a few days, a number of workers' regiments and tens of thousands of street fighting teams were organized, hundreds of millions of people were mobilized to rebuild three fortifications around Xiachao, and more than 10,000 temporary and fixed fire points were built. The lower nest, which was in a state of defense, was tightly sealed off by barricades, barricades, and fortifications, and there was a severe shortage of food.
After gaining the upper hand, the cultists launched a large-scale attack on the main passages in all directions, with the main assault target of continuing to penetrate deep into the lower nest.
At that time, the cultist army had already penetrated into the lower nest, and in order to boost the morale of the residents and the army, the lower nest council held a military parade and gave a famous speech to the entire lower nest residents. They said:
"The Empire is being invaded, and all citizens and the military of Aiden must use every drop of blood to defend the land and factories of the Empire"
The speech was broadcast on all communication devices in the nest that day.
The Lower Nest Council threw all the newly formed troops into the battlefield to stop the cultists' advance.
The two sides repeatedly fought street by street, building by building, house by house. The lower nest became a rubble field, and 80% of the city's residential areas were destroyed. In the rubble and ruins of the city, the recruits put up a stubborn resistance, and fierce gunfights took place in every street, every building, and every factory in the city. The number of casualties among the cultists after breaking through the initial line of defense continued to increase.
Most of these young men who joined the army did not have exceptional physique, intelligence, or good background. But once they are trained and equipped, they are no longer the hairy boys of the past, but glorious mobilizers.
Most of the tens of millions of conscripts recruited were very young, and they had only recently joined the army. The mobilized soldiers were convinced that fighting the enemies of the empire would lead to inevitable victory and great glory. The Lower Hive Council promised that the surviving soldiers would join the glorious Astral Army, which was the main reason why they were able to maintain their zealous zeal while carrying out near-suicidal missions.
Despite their lack of rigorous training, they were armed with large-caliber assault rifles and highly volatile, inexpensive, and time-tested bombs (incendiary bombs made of promethium made by the planet Aiden themselves) in their satchels.
After the recruits' stubborn defenses and multiple counter-assaults, the cultists' last attempt to defeat the nest in one fell swoop failed. These battlefield mobilizers, though often in critical situations, finally persevered and drained the cultists' strength.
