Chapter 148, Active Attack (6k for subscription!)
Martins accepted Governor Gu's request without any hesitation.
That's really what they're good at -- at least one of them.
Space Marines are great, but lack of numbers is always a big disadvantage.On any battlefield of a certain scale and intensity, it would be extremely stupid to throw elite but rare space fighters into frontal battles to fight and consume people, and the space fighters themselves would not accept that kind of order.
No matter how hard the power armor is, to be honest, it can't resist a 155mm howitzer; The Lion Tank, and even the Lion King Tank, are also tickling people.
They are sharp knives and should not be used as hammers.
Taking advantage of the fact that Gu Hang needs three days to prepare his troops and carry out a counterattack, the five phoenix fighters will sneak into the enemy's rear, looking for and marking high-value strategic targets.
Along with them, there are 28 soldiers from the 'Storm Squad'.They are the elite marines on the original quintet, and now they have been trained to the T3 level by Gu Hang, their individual strength is guaranteed, even if they fight hand-to-hand, it is not a big problem to kill an ordinary green-skinned boy.
They will accept the temporary leadership of the phoenix, obey orders, and act together.
No more nonsense, a total of 33 people set off in the dark.
They started from the southernmost side of the entire north-south front.In order to cover their actions, the 7th Infantry Regiment of the 4th Garrison Division stationed there also launched an active attack.
An artillery battalion was assigned to the joint artillery position in the rear.Thirty artillery pieces advanced five kilometers forward, firing twenty rounds of fire coverage in the direction the infantry regiment was about to attack.
The first five rounds were played with rapid fire, and the next four rounds were played every three to four minutes, maintaining the overall bombing rhythm.
Those green skins were blown away.
In the past, they were not immune to bombing.But generally speaking, the shelling is when they launch an attack, and those shrimps will ask for artillery support from the rear, and then there will be more ferocious firepower, covering their attack or retreat route.
The main goal is to block their attack and cause damage.
Or after their iron barrel artillery fired, there were quite a few cases where those shrimps would fight back.
Like today, it is not unheard of to fire at one's own position, but only occasionally.
Like this moment, within an hour, [-] rounds of heavy artillery were dropped in a small area, which was really an unprecedented situation.
At least, I haven't seen the green skins stationed here.
The orc leader here, named Gu Li, was not killed by the blast.The fortification he was in was built on the ruins of a reinforced concrete building, and all kinds of construction waste were moved further, and it was quite strong.Unless the heavy artillery just hit the fortification where he was, it would be nothing but fragments and shock waves.
However, in the entire position, there are not many fortification structures that can achieve this level of protection.Coupled with the fact that the shelling came too suddenly, the casualties may not be small.
Of course, the main casualties came from the early stage, and those who were still alive behind were all hiding in various anti-gun fortifications.It is true that there will still be a lot of losses, but it is always within an acceptable range.
However, even if he could understand this point, Gu Li still paced around the fortification anxiously, spitting out all kinds of green-skinned swear words from his mouth.
He knew that the inexplicable violent firing of those shrimps was definitely not for fun.His green head could clearly think that this might be the prelude to those shrimps' initiative to attack.
But he couldn't run out of the fortifications right now and kick those boys in the ass to get them up and ready for the fight.
The artillery above the head will blow up every few minutes. If you leave the fortification, you will be killed easily.
If you get killed, you can't fight.
He could only hold back his anger and continue to hide.
But soon, the opportunity to fight came.
After the last round of shelling ended, no new shells were seen falling within 10 minutes, but the sound of bullets and shouts of fighting were heard.
He regained his energy and rushed out of the fortification with a few boys.
Come to the heavily bombarded ground, where the heat and smoke have not yet dissipated.
He looked in the direction where the gunshots came from, and not far away, he vaguely saw the shrimps rushing over.
Those shrimps walked forward quickly, and continued to divide their hands to wipe out every fortification and building wreckage they passed.
In many places, in Gu Li's impression, there are boys under his own guards.However, fighting took place in only a few of them.
In those places where there was no fighting, the shrimps just went in and then came out again.
Gu Li could imagine that the boys he sent out to garrison those places might have all been killed in the previous shelling.Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to watch Xiami walk in and ignore him.
How many boys died?
he does not know.
He shouted loudly: "Waaagh!! Boys! Get out of here! Xiami is rushing up! It's time to show how capable we are! Don't let Xiami underestimate us!"
"Waaagh!!"
There were many battle cries from the green boys around, and a group of boys crawled out of the bunkers they had hidden in before. Some even drove out the armed pickups that survived the previous shelling, and some pushed out the guns with metal buckets. A bundled 'cannon'.
However, the overall number appears to be much lower than estimated bone strength.
Half of them didn't come out.
The big bang bang of those dried shrimps is still very powerful.
it's fine!
Even if there are only half of the people left, those shrimps who dare to take the initiative to fight can still be killed!
Gu Li led the boys under his command to charge forward!
……
Observing the situation on the front line, Ryder Mesheko couldn't help shaking his head.
He was a sergeant of the original Cordilian, and later he signed up as a trainee political commissar during the recruitment of Lieutenant Colonel Thaddius, and was sent to the 7th Garrison Division during the reorganization of Trash Town. The 4th regiment served as political commissar, and the rank jumped directly to captain.
The military rank rose extremely quickly, but this was a very common situation among those old troops who had followed Gu Hang for a long time.The military grows fast, and veterans can advance quickly, as long as they are loyal and willing to advance.
When the rear headquarters asked them to fully cooperate with the actions of the Phoenix Chapter, and the Martins Chapter Commander asked them to launch a cover frontal attack, Mesheko was very resolute in carrying out the mission.
He knew that their captains were not happy to do this, even when the adventurers were reorganized into regular troops, they tried to disrupt the formation as much as possible, and stripped the personal attributes of the adventurers who turned into officers to the troops.However, the nature of these former adventurers is still not so easily obliterated.
They will instinctively fear such tasks that require a lot of sacrifice, especially when they are acting to cover others.
However, this is the difference between a soldier and an adventurer.
Under his strong pressure and under military orders, the 4th Infantry Regiment still launched an attack.
Before the fight, no matter whether it was a soldier or an officer, they were all fearful.
In the past, the shadow cast by the green skins was too great.Even if hundreds of shells hit the ground first, clearing the way for them, they still instinctively fear when they come up again.
This is where Ryder Mesheko is dissatisfied.
But fortunately, after the fight, the troops faced face-to-face resistance was not strong.
The greenskin troops were obviously stunned by the bombing. A large number of greenskins died in the fortifications, and there were not many who could form resistance in the first place.
Those green skins still showed a strong will to fight. Under close range shooting, it still often takes the lives of two or three people to shoot and kill a green skin; The soldiers of the Beast Slaughter Regiment, even if they had bayonets, were often afraid to fight.
This is not a question of tactics or military skills, but a question of morale and courage.
But in the end, the 4th regiment still overwhelmed those green skins with more numbers.
It turns out that greenskins can run away too.When three or five green skins emerged from the fortifications and saw hundreds of human soldiers attacking them with guns, they would also run away with their heads in their arms.
Some were beaten to death from behind, and such green skins were the most despised.
Soon, those green-skinned boys who fled back alive came back again.Behind them, a large number of green skins rushed out, the total number must be more than two hundred.
The greenskins howled and laughed at the fleeing boys, and the greenskins who were ridiculed kicked back angrily.
During the shooting, green skins and soldiers continued to fall.
This was a bloody duel. When one greenskin fell, two or three human soldiers would be smashed to death.
According to such an exchange ratio, the human side will certainly win.Especially when they also took out weapons such as rocket launchers and mortars, an armed pickup truck rushing over was smashed halfway.
At most, only about 500 casualties are required.
That's still a worst-case estimate.In fact, when those green skins were killed to a certain amount, their threat level would drop sharply, and their morale would collapse, turning around and running away, just like the ones they encountered just now.
If you keep fighting, humans won't be able to kill so many people.
But even so, it was the human soldiers who were the first to shrink back and dare not move forward.
Those comrades who were smashed to death by the powerful green-skinned guns made them terrified.
After bearing the casualties of hundreds of people, they had a slight tendency to collapse.
Ryder Mesheko was furious.
He yelled at the regiment commander beside him: "Look at these soldiers! What a disgrace!"
The head of the 4th regiment couldn't tell.
Didn't he not give an order, requiring all troops to maintain the front line and push forward hard, but what should I do if they can't push?
He didn't dare to talk back, the red hat was an officer directly under the governor's side, like a supervising army.
Seeing his appearance, Mesheko was even more furious.
"Go to the front! Let's go to the front together! Lead by example!"
He took out his pistol and grabbed the captain.
The two, as well as the guard company, began to press forward in person.
Mesheko knew that as a commander, his greatest duty was to direct the battle, not to be on the front line.Going to the front, even if it is him, how different is his combat ability from an ordinary soldier?
But now is the special moment, and there is nothing to direct.What soldiers lack is not strategy, not tactics, but courage.
That requires senior military officers to lead by example and lead by example.
In the process of pressing forward with the guard company and the head of the regiment, he encountered a team that was fighting and retreating.
Mesheko was so angry that he found the company commander of the team, grabbed his collar, and roared loudly: "The military order given to you is to advance! Advance! Advance again! Who told you to retreat ?!"
"I..." The company commander's face was pale and he was speechless.
Mesheko kicked him in the stomach, kicked him down, and raised his pistol to his head:
"Retreating without authorization and not going forward is regarded as a deserter. As an officer, the crime is aggravated!"
"No, no..." The company commander was still trying to defend himself, and the commander standing beside Mesheko also wanted to persuade him.
But Mesheko didn't bother to listen to anything, and directly pulled the trigger.
The bullet passed through the head of the officer who had just received the rank of second lieutenant, and his body fell weakly.
Then, Mesheko shouted to the company instructor who was looking a little stupid beside him: "You take over the command now! Take your company and follow me!"
The instructor nodded suddenly as if waking up from a dream, and hurriedly called the team.
Mesheko waved again, signaling the guard company to keep up, and at the same time said to the regimental commander next to him: "For the governor! We will win! You can no longer be like before! We are soldiers! We are not looking for food in the garbage dump Scavengers!"
"I...I understand."
"Pick up the gun! Fight like a warrior!"
Seeing the head of the regiment bite the bullet, Mesheko picked up the walkie-talkie again and issued an order to the instructors of each company in the regiment, strictly ordering them to ensure that the troops are always in an offensive posture, and those who are afraid of fighting can be executed immediately.
Afterwards, Mesheko raised his pistol and fired into the sky, roaring towards the surrounding area: "Comrades! Charge with me!"
Under his strict orders, after he and the head of the regiment led the guard company to participate in the battle in person, the timidity of the entire army finally reversed.Under the leadership of officers at all levels, especially the political chief officer under the instructor system, the team began to resume its offensive posture.
As the distance between the two sides narrowed further, the battle quickly became more bloody and cruel.The advantage of the green skins in close combat was brought into play, and the casualties suffered by human soldiers became greater, but at the same time, the advantage of the human side with more numbers and stronger firepower was still maintained, and the accuracy of close-range shooting Also taller.
Human soldiers continued to fall, and some officers even died in battle, but the speed of the green skins falling was also faster.
When the loss of the 4th regiment reached 15%, that is, when more than 200 people fell, there were only about seventy or eighty green skins left.
Gu Li knew clearly that they were in a desperate situation.
Due to the close distance, it was impossible to retreat; but the bloody battle had completely activated the bellicose factor in his heart.His skin became greener, and his size grew slightly before the battle.
"Waaagh!" he howled, rushing out of cover and toward the nearest position occupied by human soldiers.
Under his infection, all the green skins that were still alive entered a state of berserk.
The last wave of charge began.
Gu Li held a heavy gun and fired six times during the charge, killing five soldiers.At the same time, he was hit by at least a hundred bullets.Blood was bleeding all over him, almost covering his green skin; he was blinded in one eye, but the one remaining eye grew more violent.
He rushed into the position where the infantry platoon was, and instantly turned into a meat grinder on the battlefield. The thick-backed machete in his hand spun like a whirlwind of death, and in just a short while, the soldiers here were killed. They were slaughtered.
Although those human soldiers had followed the tactics and put on bayonets to fight after he approached, the two sides were not at the same level in terms of strength, anti-strike ability, and even flexibility.After being stabbed seven or eight times by the bayonet, there was no sign of exhaustion of bone strength, but the backhand killed all the soldiers who dared to fight close to him.
When the courageous men die, the rest have no will to fight.
After the Master Chief was killed in battle, a few people in the infantry platoon were still alive and fled in panic; the company instructor who came up to support was also shot off his upper body, and the entire company began to collapse.
This formed a chain reaction. The greenskins charged with the bone strength, and after paying more than 20 casualties, they defeated a company that was attacking from the front, and then the two companies next to them were caught off guard and rushed towards them. The ferocious green skin that came here also showed signs of collapse.
Ryder Mesheko saw the signs.
He will never allow the victory he has obtained, and he sees signs of losing it again.He immediately led the guard company to block the gap, and ordered several surrounding companies to block it together.
In his words, if you pile up human lives, you can also pile up the remaining fifty green skins.
Gu Li also saw the screaming red hat, he howled and rushed towards it.The big gun that had been reloaded fired wildly in the direction of Mesheko.
In a moment, three or four soldiers around Mesheko were killed, and the green-skinned leader who couldn't be defeated no matter how hard he fought came straight towards him.
Mesheko's mood is very calm at this moment.
He knew he had made a mistake, that he had forced the morale of the regiment up, and that he had come so close to the front that the enemy could charge directly at him.If he died here, the morale of the whole regiment might collapse.
At that time, it will really become a joke for thousands of people to be overwhelmed by dozens of green skins.
But this mistake was unavoidable.This army, which had just been reorganized from adventurers, hadn't had time to carry out its ideological work, and its morale was not high. If he hadn't done this before, he might not have reached the level he is now.
He knew that there was more danger than danger, but he couldn't run away either.
He could only draw out his pistol and stood still, his black coat fluttering in the wind.
With his head held high, he kept firing bullets at the green skin rushing towards him.
Even if you die, you have to die standing up.
He hoped that his appearance before death could infect the surrounding soldiers.The enemy is just at the end of their strength, as long as they hold their breath again, they can all be killed.
The damage of the pistol ammunition to the green skin is quite limited, it can only be said to be a symbolic resistance.
But at this moment, a burst of explosive gunshots came from behind him.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of heavy footsteps approached quickly, and quickly passed by his side.
It was a giant in red power armor.
The Emperor's Angel has arrived.
The gunshots ahead were obviously bolters.
The explosive bomb that flew out hit the three green skins behind Gu Li, all of them were killed by one shot.
At the level of an interstellar warrior veteran, at a distance of tens of meters, he can shoot without fail.The power of the bolt gun is not comparable to the small water pipe of the G9 rifle.A single shot to the green-skinned body would be fatal.
However, the two explosive bombs that hit Gu Li didn't kill it.He turned around to dodge the previous shot at the nick of time—it wasn’t that he could really dodge the bullet, but that he saw the space soldier rushing out from behind the red hat shooting, so he made a predictive action.
As for the shot that hit him later, it hit his right chest firmly, opening a big hole, but the leader of the orc who was caught in a frenzy just paused, but he didn't seem to be weak at all, and continued to howl and charge.
Gu Li had never seen a shrimp that looked similar in size to him, let alone that guy was wrapped in red cans all over his body.But he already felt that it was a powerful enemy, and he was excited that he could face such a powerful enemy!
He held up the thick-backed machete and slashed at the red-armored giant.
The phoenix warrior who was charging twisted his waist, dodged the slash, and took advantage of the opportunity to show a combat blade, stabbing into the green skin's waist.Following the force of the charge, with another swipe and pull, a large amount of blood mixed with internal organs sprayed out.
But the bone strength is not dead yet!Even have the strength to fight back!
He grabbed the arm of the space soldier with one hand, pulled it suddenly, and then kicked his feet again, and fell to the ground.
Gu Li rolled over and pressed down, grinning grinningly, as if he couldn't feel the pain in his waist and abdomen.With one hand he pressed the lower edge of the Space Marine's helmet, and with the other he raised the machete aloft, as if trying to slice off the phoenix's head.
However, this knife could not be cut down.
During this process, the phoenix that fell to the ground and was suppressed has already stabbed Gu Li's heart and neck several times with a combat dagger, completely ending its life.
Pushing the corpse away, the red-armored warrior stood up and looked around. The battle was almost over.
(End of this chapter)
Martins accepted Governor Gu's request without any hesitation.
That's really what they're good at -- at least one of them.
Space Marines are great, but lack of numbers is always a big disadvantage.On any battlefield of a certain scale and intensity, it would be extremely stupid to throw elite but rare space fighters into frontal battles to fight and consume people, and the space fighters themselves would not accept that kind of order.
No matter how hard the power armor is, to be honest, it can't resist a 155mm howitzer; The Lion Tank, and even the Lion King Tank, are also tickling people.
They are sharp knives and should not be used as hammers.
Taking advantage of the fact that Gu Hang needs three days to prepare his troops and carry out a counterattack, the five phoenix fighters will sneak into the enemy's rear, looking for and marking high-value strategic targets.
Along with them, there are 28 soldiers from the 'Storm Squad'.They are the elite marines on the original quintet, and now they have been trained to the T3 level by Gu Hang, their individual strength is guaranteed, even if they fight hand-to-hand, it is not a big problem to kill an ordinary green-skinned boy.
They will accept the temporary leadership of the phoenix, obey orders, and act together.
No more nonsense, a total of 33 people set off in the dark.
They started from the southernmost side of the entire north-south front.In order to cover their actions, the 7th Infantry Regiment of the 4th Garrison Division stationed there also launched an active attack.
An artillery battalion was assigned to the joint artillery position in the rear.Thirty artillery pieces advanced five kilometers forward, firing twenty rounds of fire coverage in the direction the infantry regiment was about to attack.
The first five rounds were played with rapid fire, and the next four rounds were played every three to four minutes, maintaining the overall bombing rhythm.
Those green skins were blown away.
In the past, they were not immune to bombing.But generally speaking, the shelling is when they launch an attack, and those shrimps will ask for artillery support from the rear, and then there will be more ferocious firepower, covering their attack or retreat route.
The main goal is to block their attack and cause damage.
Or after their iron barrel artillery fired, there were quite a few cases where those shrimps would fight back.
Like today, it is not unheard of to fire at one's own position, but only occasionally.
Like this moment, within an hour, [-] rounds of heavy artillery were dropped in a small area, which was really an unprecedented situation.
At least, I haven't seen the green skins stationed here.
The orc leader here, named Gu Li, was not killed by the blast.The fortification he was in was built on the ruins of a reinforced concrete building, and all kinds of construction waste were moved further, and it was quite strong.Unless the heavy artillery just hit the fortification where he was, it would be nothing but fragments and shock waves.
However, in the entire position, there are not many fortification structures that can achieve this level of protection.Coupled with the fact that the shelling came too suddenly, the casualties may not be small.
Of course, the main casualties came from the early stage, and those who were still alive behind were all hiding in various anti-gun fortifications.It is true that there will still be a lot of losses, but it is always within an acceptable range.
However, even if he could understand this point, Gu Li still paced around the fortification anxiously, spitting out all kinds of green-skinned swear words from his mouth.
He knew that the inexplicable violent firing of those shrimps was definitely not for fun.His green head could clearly think that this might be the prelude to those shrimps' initiative to attack.
But he couldn't run out of the fortifications right now and kick those boys in the ass to get them up and ready for the fight.
The artillery above the head will blow up every few minutes. If you leave the fortification, you will be killed easily.
If you get killed, you can't fight.
He could only hold back his anger and continue to hide.
But soon, the opportunity to fight came.
After the last round of shelling ended, no new shells were seen falling within 10 minutes, but the sound of bullets and shouts of fighting were heard.
He regained his energy and rushed out of the fortification with a few boys.
Come to the heavily bombarded ground, where the heat and smoke have not yet dissipated.
He looked in the direction where the gunshots came from, and not far away, he vaguely saw the shrimps rushing over.
Those shrimps walked forward quickly, and continued to divide their hands to wipe out every fortification and building wreckage they passed.
In many places, in Gu Li's impression, there are boys under his own guards.However, fighting took place in only a few of them.
In those places where there was no fighting, the shrimps just went in and then came out again.
Gu Li could imagine that the boys he sent out to garrison those places might have all been killed in the previous shelling.Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to watch Xiami walk in and ignore him.
How many boys died?
he does not know.
He shouted loudly: "Waaagh!! Boys! Get out of here! Xiami is rushing up! It's time to show how capable we are! Don't let Xiami underestimate us!"
"Waaagh!!"
There were many battle cries from the green boys around, and a group of boys crawled out of the bunkers they had hidden in before. Some even drove out the armed pickups that survived the previous shelling, and some pushed out the guns with metal buckets. A bundled 'cannon'.
However, the overall number appears to be much lower than estimated bone strength.
Half of them didn't come out.
The big bang bang of those dried shrimps is still very powerful.
it's fine!
Even if there are only half of the people left, those shrimps who dare to take the initiative to fight can still be killed!
Gu Li led the boys under his command to charge forward!
……
Observing the situation on the front line, Ryder Mesheko couldn't help shaking his head.
He was a sergeant of the original Cordilian, and later he signed up as a trainee political commissar during the recruitment of Lieutenant Colonel Thaddius, and was sent to the 7th Garrison Division during the reorganization of Trash Town. The 4th regiment served as political commissar, and the rank jumped directly to captain.
The military rank rose extremely quickly, but this was a very common situation among those old troops who had followed Gu Hang for a long time.The military grows fast, and veterans can advance quickly, as long as they are loyal and willing to advance.
When the rear headquarters asked them to fully cooperate with the actions of the Phoenix Chapter, and the Martins Chapter Commander asked them to launch a cover frontal attack, Mesheko was very resolute in carrying out the mission.
He knew that their captains were not happy to do this, even when the adventurers were reorganized into regular troops, they tried to disrupt the formation as much as possible, and stripped the personal attributes of the adventurers who turned into officers to the troops.However, the nature of these former adventurers is still not so easily obliterated.
They will instinctively fear such tasks that require a lot of sacrifice, especially when they are acting to cover others.
However, this is the difference between a soldier and an adventurer.
Under his strong pressure and under military orders, the 4th Infantry Regiment still launched an attack.
Before the fight, no matter whether it was a soldier or an officer, they were all fearful.
In the past, the shadow cast by the green skins was too great.Even if hundreds of shells hit the ground first, clearing the way for them, they still instinctively fear when they come up again.
This is where Ryder Mesheko is dissatisfied.
But fortunately, after the fight, the troops faced face-to-face resistance was not strong.
The greenskin troops were obviously stunned by the bombing. A large number of greenskins died in the fortifications, and there were not many who could form resistance in the first place.
Those green skins still showed a strong will to fight. Under close range shooting, it still often takes the lives of two or three people to shoot and kill a green skin; The soldiers of the Beast Slaughter Regiment, even if they had bayonets, were often afraid to fight.
This is not a question of tactics or military skills, but a question of morale and courage.
But in the end, the 4th regiment still overwhelmed those green skins with more numbers.
It turns out that greenskins can run away too.When three or five green skins emerged from the fortifications and saw hundreds of human soldiers attacking them with guns, they would also run away with their heads in their arms.
Some were beaten to death from behind, and such green skins were the most despised.
Soon, those green-skinned boys who fled back alive came back again.Behind them, a large number of green skins rushed out, the total number must be more than two hundred.
The greenskins howled and laughed at the fleeing boys, and the greenskins who were ridiculed kicked back angrily.
During the shooting, green skins and soldiers continued to fall.
This was a bloody duel. When one greenskin fell, two or three human soldiers would be smashed to death.
According to such an exchange ratio, the human side will certainly win.Especially when they also took out weapons such as rocket launchers and mortars, an armed pickup truck rushing over was smashed halfway.
At most, only about 500 casualties are required.
That's still a worst-case estimate.In fact, when those green skins were killed to a certain amount, their threat level would drop sharply, and their morale would collapse, turning around and running away, just like the ones they encountered just now.
If you keep fighting, humans won't be able to kill so many people.
But even so, it was the human soldiers who were the first to shrink back and dare not move forward.
Those comrades who were smashed to death by the powerful green-skinned guns made them terrified.
After bearing the casualties of hundreds of people, they had a slight tendency to collapse.
Ryder Mesheko was furious.
He yelled at the regiment commander beside him: "Look at these soldiers! What a disgrace!"
The head of the 4th regiment couldn't tell.
Didn't he not give an order, requiring all troops to maintain the front line and push forward hard, but what should I do if they can't push?
He didn't dare to talk back, the red hat was an officer directly under the governor's side, like a supervising army.
Seeing his appearance, Mesheko was even more furious.
"Go to the front! Let's go to the front together! Lead by example!"
He took out his pistol and grabbed the captain.
The two, as well as the guard company, began to press forward in person.
Mesheko knew that as a commander, his greatest duty was to direct the battle, not to be on the front line.Going to the front, even if it is him, how different is his combat ability from an ordinary soldier?
But now is the special moment, and there is nothing to direct.What soldiers lack is not strategy, not tactics, but courage.
That requires senior military officers to lead by example and lead by example.
In the process of pressing forward with the guard company and the head of the regiment, he encountered a team that was fighting and retreating.
Mesheko was so angry that he found the company commander of the team, grabbed his collar, and roared loudly: "The military order given to you is to advance! Advance! Advance again! Who told you to retreat ?!"
"I..." The company commander's face was pale and he was speechless.
Mesheko kicked him in the stomach, kicked him down, and raised his pistol to his head:
"Retreating without authorization and not going forward is regarded as a deserter. As an officer, the crime is aggravated!"
"No, no..." The company commander was still trying to defend himself, and the commander standing beside Mesheko also wanted to persuade him.
But Mesheko didn't bother to listen to anything, and directly pulled the trigger.
The bullet passed through the head of the officer who had just received the rank of second lieutenant, and his body fell weakly.
Then, Mesheko shouted to the company instructor who was looking a little stupid beside him: "You take over the command now! Take your company and follow me!"
The instructor nodded suddenly as if waking up from a dream, and hurriedly called the team.
Mesheko waved again, signaling the guard company to keep up, and at the same time said to the regimental commander next to him: "For the governor! We will win! You can no longer be like before! We are soldiers! We are not looking for food in the garbage dump Scavengers!"
"I...I understand."
"Pick up the gun! Fight like a warrior!"
Seeing the head of the regiment bite the bullet, Mesheko picked up the walkie-talkie again and issued an order to the instructors of each company in the regiment, strictly ordering them to ensure that the troops are always in an offensive posture, and those who are afraid of fighting can be executed immediately.
Afterwards, Mesheko raised his pistol and fired into the sky, roaring towards the surrounding area: "Comrades! Charge with me!"
Under his strict orders, after he and the head of the regiment led the guard company to participate in the battle in person, the timidity of the entire army finally reversed.Under the leadership of officers at all levels, especially the political chief officer under the instructor system, the team began to resume its offensive posture.
As the distance between the two sides narrowed further, the battle quickly became more bloody and cruel.The advantage of the green skins in close combat was brought into play, and the casualties suffered by human soldiers became greater, but at the same time, the advantage of the human side with more numbers and stronger firepower was still maintained, and the accuracy of close-range shooting Also taller.
Human soldiers continued to fall, and some officers even died in battle, but the speed of the green skins falling was also faster.
When the loss of the 4th regiment reached 15%, that is, when more than 200 people fell, there were only about seventy or eighty green skins left.
Gu Li knew clearly that they were in a desperate situation.
Due to the close distance, it was impossible to retreat; but the bloody battle had completely activated the bellicose factor in his heart.His skin became greener, and his size grew slightly before the battle.
"Waaagh!" he howled, rushing out of cover and toward the nearest position occupied by human soldiers.
Under his infection, all the green skins that were still alive entered a state of berserk.
The last wave of charge began.
Gu Li held a heavy gun and fired six times during the charge, killing five soldiers.At the same time, he was hit by at least a hundred bullets.Blood was bleeding all over him, almost covering his green skin; he was blinded in one eye, but the one remaining eye grew more violent.
He rushed into the position where the infantry platoon was, and instantly turned into a meat grinder on the battlefield. The thick-backed machete in his hand spun like a whirlwind of death, and in just a short while, the soldiers here were killed. They were slaughtered.
Although those human soldiers had followed the tactics and put on bayonets to fight after he approached, the two sides were not at the same level in terms of strength, anti-strike ability, and even flexibility.After being stabbed seven or eight times by the bayonet, there was no sign of exhaustion of bone strength, but the backhand killed all the soldiers who dared to fight close to him.
When the courageous men die, the rest have no will to fight.
After the Master Chief was killed in battle, a few people in the infantry platoon were still alive and fled in panic; the company instructor who came up to support was also shot off his upper body, and the entire company began to collapse.
This formed a chain reaction. The greenskins charged with the bone strength, and after paying more than 20 casualties, they defeated a company that was attacking from the front, and then the two companies next to them were caught off guard and rushed towards them. The ferocious green skin that came here also showed signs of collapse.
Ryder Mesheko saw the signs.
He will never allow the victory he has obtained, and he sees signs of losing it again.He immediately led the guard company to block the gap, and ordered several surrounding companies to block it together.
In his words, if you pile up human lives, you can also pile up the remaining fifty green skins.
Gu Li also saw the screaming red hat, he howled and rushed towards it.The big gun that had been reloaded fired wildly in the direction of Mesheko.
In a moment, three or four soldiers around Mesheko were killed, and the green-skinned leader who couldn't be defeated no matter how hard he fought came straight towards him.
Mesheko's mood is very calm at this moment.
He knew he had made a mistake, that he had forced the morale of the regiment up, and that he had come so close to the front that the enemy could charge directly at him.If he died here, the morale of the whole regiment might collapse.
At that time, it will really become a joke for thousands of people to be overwhelmed by dozens of green skins.
But this mistake was unavoidable.This army, which had just been reorganized from adventurers, hadn't had time to carry out its ideological work, and its morale was not high. If he hadn't done this before, he might not have reached the level he is now.
He knew that there was more danger than danger, but he couldn't run away either.
He could only draw out his pistol and stood still, his black coat fluttering in the wind.
With his head held high, he kept firing bullets at the green skin rushing towards him.
Even if you die, you have to die standing up.
He hoped that his appearance before death could infect the surrounding soldiers.The enemy is just at the end of their strength, as long as they hold their breath again, they can all be killed.
The damage of the pistol ammunition to the green skin is quite limited, it can only be said to be a symbolic resistance.
But at this moment, a burst of explosive gunshots came from behind him.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of heavy footsteps approached quickly, and quickly passed by his side.
It was a giant in red power armor.
The Emperor's Angel has arrived.
The gunshots ahead were obviously bolters.
The explosive bomb that flew out hit the three green skins behind Gu Li, all of them were killed by one shot.
At the level of an interstellar warrior veteran, at a distance of tens of meters, he can shoot without fail.The power of the bolt gun is not comparable to the small water pipe of the G9 rifle.A single shot to the green-skinned body would be fatal.
However, the two explosive bombs that hit Gu Li didn't kill it.He turned around to dodge the previous shot at the nick of time—it wasn’t that he could really dodge the bullet, but that he saw the space soldier rushing out from behind the red hat shooting, so he made a predictive action.
As for the shot that hit him later, it hit his right chest firmly, opening a big hole, but the leader of the orc who was caught in a frenzy just paused, but he didn't seem to be weak at all, and continued to howl and charge.
Gu Li had never seen a shrimp that looked similar in size to him, let alone that guy was wrapped in red cans all over his body.But he already felt that it was a powerful enemy, and he was excited that he could face such a powerful enemy!
He held up the thick-backed machete and slashed at the red-armored giant.
The phoenix warrior who was charging twisted his waist, dodged the slash, and took advantage of the opportunity to show a combat blade, stabbing into the green skin's waist.Following the force of the charge, with another swipe and pull, a large amount of blood mixed with internal organs sprayed out.
But the bone strength is not dead yet!Even have the strength to fight back!
He grabbed the arm of the space soldier with one hand, pulled it suddenly, and then kicked his feet again, and fell to the ground.
Gu Li rolled over and pressed down, grinning grinningly, as if he couldn't feel the pain in his waist and abdomen.With one hand he pressed the lower edge of the Space Marine's helmet, and with the other he raised the machete aloft, as if trying to slice off the phoenix's head.
However, this knife could not be cut down.
During this process, the phoenix that fell to the ground and was suppressed has already stabbed Gu Li's heart and neck several times with a combat dagger, completely ending its life.
Pushing the corpse away, the red-armored warrior stood up and looked around. The battle was almost over.
