Chapter 194: Sacrifice

The conveyor on board the merchant ship teleported Creed's group to the location of the 8th Regiment.

At this time, Kyle had just organized a thousand-man death squad to prepare to personally lead the team to rescue Creed, and after seeing Creed suddenly teleported, he immediately disbanded the death squad and let the thousand people return to the defense line to fight.

Creed didn't explain to Kyle how he got out of the command vehicle, and immediately walked around the entire defense line to observe the situation.

There is no distinction between the front or the rear here, each of which is at the forefront of the engagement.

Creed walked behind makeshift bunkers, sometimes shouting to his soldiers, sometimes pausing to raise his binoculars to take in the situation.

A large number of Voscani Iron Cavalry units were storming the improvised defensive line of the 8th Regiment, and the soldiers hid behind bunkers and opened fire on the enemy with a variety of light and heavy weapons.

The friendly forces gathered by the 8th Regiment were also fighting on the defensive line, some of them were artillery and some of them were armoured, and these friendly troops had no time to find a suitable combat position, so they could only find a random position and participate in the battle.

Creed could only see the situation on his side of the Eighth Regiment, and he couldn't see it any further, but the communications and scouts in the regiment were constantly running to Creed's side to report to them about the situation of the other regiments, so that Creed could roughly sort out the situation of the entire Toyuco Plain.

The entire Toyuco Plain had been turned into a battlefield, and the Voscani Iron Cavalry slaughtered the troops who were closer to them, and these troops had no time to react to the sudden attack during the parade, and the casualties were extremely heavy.

The closer the troops were to the Voscani cavalry landing position, the worse the troops, and the farther away troops were given time to react and defend on the spot.

While the slaughter was taking place, the main force of the Voscani Iron Cavalry was building up position after position in the northern part of the plain, while also detaching a part of the mobile force to seize the supply points around Toyuko.

The defensive line organized by the 8th Regiment was the farthest from the Voscani Iron Cavalry, but it was already under attack and artillery bombardment.

The loyalists on the plains of Kadiatoyoko were unable to form a battle line, and the Voscani Iron Cavalry could not only bypass many of the defending armies and attack the 8th Regiment, but also send armored units to make a detour around the rear.

Creed's speculation is vague, this is because the information he received is already very vague, and there are even completely contradictory information, all he can do is make a comprehensive judgment, as for the specific situation on the battlefield, he has to wait for the situation to stabilize before trying to find a way to collect more and more real battlefield information.

After thinking about it for a few minutes with the information available, Creed came up with a solution.

First of all, it is necessary to hold this line and gather more defeated allies anyway, as long as the line can continue to exist and expand, then the other allies will have a chance to retreat and regroup.

The second was to make contact with the small friendly forces scattered throughout the plains by all means, reorganize the headquarters and establish a battle line against the attack of the Voscani Iron Cavalry.

Then it was to organize a death squad and find a way to recapture the command vehicle.

Creed breaks down all the decisions into commands that Kyle relays, and Kyle communicates those commands.

A company of troops is drawn from the line of defense and travels on a personnel carrier or transport plane to contact other friendly forces.

Caldred, the political commissar of the 8th Regiment, gave an uplifting speech, encouraging the 8th Regiment and other friendly troops on the defensive line to form death squads.

Crane was silent from beginning to end, he wanted to help Creed, but the merchant ship was not equipped with a scanning device and could not directly sweep out the situation on the Toyuko Plain, and the communication device carried by the merchant ship was also incompatible with the communication means of the Astral Army......

The only thing Klein could think of was to use his merchant ship to help Creed with the orbital bombardment.

But as soon as the idea was proposed, Creed rejected it, because he did not have the right to let the ships of the non-Imperial Navy bombard the territory of Cadia, he was only the general of the 8th regiment and nothing more.

The only thing Creed asked Crane for help was to ask him about the situation in his orbit.

Klein immediately asked his men, and then relayed the results of the inquiry to Creed: "The ship that sent the Vorscani Iron Cavalry into the system has long since run away, and there are only defensive platforms and my merchant ships in the entire orbit. ”

"Hmm." Creed nodded his head in understanding, and moved on to something else, "Inform the Lord of Tyrone about the situation on Kadia." ”

"Is this a request for help?" Klein asked.

"No, it's far from time to call for help." Creed shook his head slowly.

Hearing this, Crane looked at the battlefield, and he didn't think that now was the time to ask for help, but since Creed said so, it was better to listen to him.

Minutes and seconds ticked by.

The fighting is becoming more and more intense.

Creed never went to the safest place, but continued to walk the entire line of defense.

Enemy shells were constantly falling all over the defensive line, and even occasionally one or two bombs exploded at a distance of 500 meters from Creed, and shrapnel could collapse directly at Creed's feet.

Crane tried to convince Creed to direct the battle on his merchant ship, but every time he spoke, he was drowned out by the sound of cannons.

Creed continued to walk through the smoke, his cigar pinched with one behind his back and the other, with no expression on his face, oblivious to the explosions around him.

Sergeant Jalankel was inseparable from Creed, holding aloft the flag of the Eighth Regiment to announce the arrival of General Creed to the soldiers and even the enemy.

There are pros and cons to this extremely risky behavior. Occasionally, some enemies would try to bypass the line and assassinate Creed, and even someone would try to snipe him, and although all of these threats were eliminated by the soldiers of the Eighth Regiment, they were still dangerous.

But the upside was that the presence of the generals of the 8th Regiment in the most dangerous places would boost the morale of the soldiers, and even the friendly troops who had been forced into battle by Commissar Caldred would be uplifted and serve Creed as if they were his own generals.

As the battle progressed, some of the generals who had withdrawn from the northernmost part of the Toyuco Plain rushed to Creed's side as soon as they saw him, asking Creed for a combat mission.

Moments later, a cannonball exploded three hundred meters from Creed, and the sand that kicked up extinguished the burning cigar in his hand, and a shrapnel cut a bloody streak on Creed's face.

"You're looking for death!" Crane stooped over to Creed, yelling into his ear.

"I'm just a general." Creed looked at Klein without any expression on his face, "If I die, another general will take my place immediately, and my death will also boost morale, and this sacrifice is valuable when our army is at a great disadvantage." ”
