29. Vault (7)
Doubts only exist for a short moment, and then they are washed away by obedience, discipline, and reason.
There was no one at the scene who did not know what Caspar's order was and what the consequences would be.
- Search and annihilation (D. Destory, also translated as "kill when you see the enemy" with the full atmosphere of middle two...... )。
It can be summed up in such a simple sentence.
This three-word phrase means only one thing to the town of Bonabo.
Hell.
The "Legion" is the crystallization of the highest technological strength of the Defense Force, and whether it is adopted in the end or not, it is a top military secret. The inhabitants of the town of Bonavo are destined to see a lot of things they shouldn't see on this Christmas Eve, and from the point of view of secrecy alone, they will not have a chance to survive to spread the secret. On the other hand, the town did show its support for the guerrillas from top to bottom, and according to the previous executive order issued by the Empire, any act of aiding the guerrillas would result in the civilian being considered a member of the guerrillas, and the Empire would deal with all arrested guerrillas in accordance with domestic wartime laws and international regulations. In short, any civilian who helped the guerrillas would be executed as if they were guerrillas, and according to the internationally accepted norms of engagement, the guerrillas were not considered regular soldiers and the prisoner clause did not apply. Defence officers and soldiers do not face court-martials for the execution or mistreatment of guerrillas.
This is actually exploiting the loopholes of the law. By defining civilians as "guerrillas" to deny the presence of non-combatants in the combat area, this circumvents the provision in the rules of engagement that "the military prohibits indiscriminate attacks on areas where non-combatants are present", avoids protracted mopping wars or wars of attrition, and quickly uses maximum firepower to completely suppress the target.
It was the guerrillas who resisted, the well-trained guerrillas who fled, and there were no civilians in the town, only combatants disguised as civilians – it was as simple as that.
If there are peace-loving and imperialist-hating moralists who insist on accusing the Empire of indiscriminate killing of innocents and carrying out indiscriminate attacks on areas where there are large numbers of civilians. That's his freedom, and that's his power. But first, he had to find solid evidence that there were so-called civilians in the mass of burnt and mutilated corpses, or he could risk getting into a transnational legal case – the Empire has some of the best lawyers in the world, veterans of the profession who are known for their viciousness and ruthlessness, and who can make the moralists pay a heavy price and shut up forever in such a winnable lawsuit—both socially and physically.
Take 10,000 steps back, even if the matter is revealed, the empire will not care. The condemnation of international public opinion and the backlash of Charlemagne may be troublesome, but catching or killing the target is the most important thing at the moment, and it is worth paying some price for it. Besides, what does it matter as long as the empire has not failed?
History is written by the victors, and even if an entire city is burned to ashes, countless lives are burned to ashes overnight, thousands of families are shattered or even disappeared, it is strategically necessary and ultimately won. It will also be regarded as a beautiful talk in the future.
The inhabitants and partisans of the town of Bonavo could not have imagined that the gates of hell had been opened beneath their feet, and they were struggling to survive.
Black, white, and red—the three colors that make up the imperial flag intersect the land of the town of Bonavo, and the white snowfields are sprinkled with human blood and blackened smoke.
As soon as the "search and annihilate" command was issued, the reconnaissance type immediately switched from defensive mode to sweeping mode, and they kicked the metal railing around the cemetery, and successively rained 40mm grenades into the block at a large elevation angle.
In town street fighting, the most troublesome thing is the enemy hiding behind buildings, street corners, and bunkers, and the attackers have to fight over and sweep each building repeatedly to ensure that every street, every building, and every corner is safe before the troops can move on. Otherwise, large groups of troops and armored vehicles crowded the streets and swung in long queues, and were subjected to a volley of crossfire from above, left and right, and there was no chance of survival. As a result, in street fighting, curved fire such as mortars is often used to kill and injure targets hiding behind buildings.
The trajectory of the grenade launcher tends to be low extension, and it is generally used for direct and flat fire, but the elevation angle is large enough to hit a high parabolic curved trajectory, but the landing accuracy is more impressive. Professional veterans may also be able to control the drop point and change the eggs of new recruits...... Even if you give him a single-shot lightweight grenade launcher, it can only be a matter of faith, and if you change it to a wheeled grenade launcher or a heavier fully automatic grenade launcher (also known as a "grenade machine gun"), the bullet scattering will definitely make you want to hug your head and cry.
Basically, all weapons are the same, veterans are always more able to exert the power of the weapons in their hands than rookies, and with the accumulation of experience, rookies will one day become a fighter in their own right, using the weapons in their hands well.
This is not the case with the "Legion".
Even the "legions" that have just stepped off the production line are much stronger than human rookies, not to mention that they also have the self-learning and improvement function of the enemy's brain.
Previously, in order to save a small amount of ammunition (in order to reduce the weight of the ejection, in addition to the armor, the base of the ammunition carried was also compressed), and the situation on the scene clashed with intelligence, as long as the guerrillas did not show their bodies recklessly, the "Black Panther" echelon would not care about them. Now that the new order has been issued, in order to expand the war and drive the target out, and at the same time to clear the landing field for the follow-up echelon, the "Panther" echelon no longer spares ammunition and fires a ferocious grenade salvo. Six reconnaissance models equipped with grenade launchers poured out a barrage of bullets at a rate of one round per second.
High-explosive shells and anti-infantry shells fell one after another, artillery shells equipped with air-explosive fuses exploded in the air one after another, and a storm of death composed of prefabricated fragments, steel balls, and shock waves licked the earth over and over again. The guerrillas hiding behind the building, standing or lying down, made no sense in the face of the all-metal storm. Unless his eyesight, reaction speed, physical fitness, and luck are so good that he can visualize a grenade falling almost vertically in the dark of night, and find a strong enough cover to rush into it as fast as he can before the grenade explodes at an altitude of five meters above the ground. Otherwise, he would have to watch himself being torn into a rotten rag.
In the face of the sudden barrage attack, the guerrillas suffered heavy casualties in just half a minute. The ground was littered with broken corpses, some of the badly wounded guerrillas struggled with the last of their breath, and women's cries could be heard from several set fire houses.
Hell opens here and now.
