Chapter 353 Guards Infantry Division

The Pope has faith, but he is more obsessed with power.

So he is willing to do something for God at the last moment.

Of course, it is also for revenge.

Fernandez is too cruel, killing people and blood flowing like a river.

Even a politician like him feels scared.

This guy is a devil, a real devil.

So, the devil must be punished.

Just before Fernandez attacked the capital, the Pope's envoy ran away with a lot of information.

Those who stayed chose to embrace death, and those who left did not live in humiliation, they were to punish the devil.

"Attack!"

Fernandez waved his hand, and the army attacked the capital.

If there was, he would definitely slowly erode the space of the church.

But the existence of the Northern Principality is a threat, and he has no more time to delay.

As for King Bruno, he is hiding in the fiefdom of Hansen County at this time.

If Fernandez is a little lighter, His Majesty the King may come to preside over the overall situation out of some concern.

But now... it is better to stay away.

Fernandez was not afraid of being blamed, but the king was.

When the fire started in the capital, the priests who rushed out of the encirclement had red eyes.

Their backpacks were full of film.

Although cameras were valuable items, the church had no shortage of them.

The film contained evidence of the crimes of the Bruno royal family, and they had to hand it over to Archbishop John Hadley.

…

At this time, the 4th Guards Infantry Division had arrived at the front.

As the first division to be mobilized and armed, it took them only a week to reach the front from Port Degen.

Following closely behind, there were five full Guards Divisions on the way.

With the population of the Northern Principality, it was already the limit to reserve tens of thousands of regular troops, and the subsequent recruitment speed would be slower.

General Charles, the commander of the 4th Guards Infantry Division, came to visit Derek as soon as possible.

As an officer at the level of division commander, he was already able to access confidential information, and naturally knew that the Duke was at the front at this time.

Before entering the house, he tidied his clothes and walked into the house with the most energetic look.

"Duke, the 4th Guards Infantry Division reports to you."

Derek was very satisfied. The 4th Guards Infantry Division was very fast and there was no delay at all.

He stood up and happily greeted Division Commander Charlie: "You came in time, and there is a task for you."

"Guarantee to complete the task, Duke." Division Commander Charlie stood at attention, his voice was loud and full of confidence.

Although the 4th Guards Infantry Division was newly built, its combat effectiveness was guaranteed, at least stronger than the divisions transformed from the old army.

He was confident that he could complete all tasks and tear apart any obstacles in front of him.

"Okay, you are courageous, I hope your performance can keep up with your courage." Derek directly explained the next task to him.

Seeing that the Bruno royal family and the church were already killing each other, they could not turn back at this time.

It was just right to take this opportunity to attack from behind.

Division Commander Charlie carefully understood his task and left confidently.

This is the first battle of the 4th Guards Infantry Division. The opening gun must be fired, otherwise there will be no future.

Of course, it is not a difficult task at the moment.

It just so happens that the other Guards Divisions did not catch up, so they deserve to be in the limelight.

As soon as he returned to the 4th Guards Infantry Division camp, Charlie urgently summoned the staff and officers at all levels.

He directly spread out the map and repeated the task assigned by the Duke.

"This is the first battle of our division. I have two requirements. First... fast, second... beautiful."

Division Commander Charlie stared at his men: "Whoever fails to lead the charge, I will send him to lead the charge until he dies, understand?"

"Division Commander, our third regiment will go in the first battle. I don't need you to send me to charge. I am willing to go and kill the women of the Holy Cross Kingdom." The commander of the third regiment slammed the table, and his momentum was more powerful than that of the division commander.

Soldiers, with the Duke's salary, naturally have to work hard.

He is not afraid of death.

"Okay, it's you, Chief of Staff... We'll work on a battle plan tonight and set out early tomorrow morning. I want to get off to a good start within one day."

"No problem, I'll send someone to collect information right away." The Chief of Staff immediately expressed his opinion.

That night, the 4th Guards Infantry Division had a good meal and drink. Except for a few staff members who stayed up all night, everyone was in high spirits.

The next day, the news of participating in the battle had spread throughout the division.

The commander of the 3rd Regiment led the soldiers on the road while cheering up the officers under him.

"Today I will lead the charge. If I die... the deputy regiment commander will take over. If the deputy regiment commander dies, the battalion commander will take over. If all the battalion commanders die, the company commander will continue to take over.

This is the first battle of our 4th Division. There can't be any accidents."

The superiors are not afraid of death, and the subordinates are even less afraid.

At worst, they can sleep in the coffin in advance. Anyway, the pension of the Principality has always been sufficient.

The target of the 4th Guards Infantry Division is still the old place... the town of Poker.

As an important fulcrum of the front line, it has become more important as the war progresses.

At this time, there were not many intact buildings in the town of Poker, and there were trenches and ruins everywhere.

It can be said that there were more shells than people, and more shell holes than people.

In this situation, half of the four regiments had been killed. If they had not been replenished with some troops one after another, they would have collapsed long ago.

However, fighting to this point was actually difficult, and a group of veterans who had experienced war were not so easy to collapse.

Even the besieging Northern Principality Army was a little tired.

Fortunately, reinforcements arrived today.

The 4th Guards Infantry Division arrived at the battlefield in neat steps.

They were completely out of place here, with brand new clothes and weapons, and they looked energetic and did not look tired.

The commander of the temporary brigade present wanted to negotiate with the 4th Guards Infantry Division, such as exchanging experiences and even giving them part of the camp.

However, before they saw the people, the three regiments that arrived first had already begun to prepare for the battle.

The soldiers of the temporary brigade who were originally busy were dumbfounded. What were they doing?

"Where did these green hands come from? Isn't it suicide to rush forward like this?"

"I heard that the 4th Guards Infantry Division was newly formed. They were not dumbfounded by the infantry drills, were they?"

After so long on the front line, they certainly knew how difficult the enemy on the opposite side was.

However, the 4th Guards Infantry Division was not without confidence.

As a guard division with a forward organization, they were all equipped with the best equipment.

They had the 280mm heavy artillery that other divisions didn't use.

The artillery regiment started the bombing first.

The third regiment began to mobilize.

The regiment commander personally wore a red ribbon.

"Brothers, rush forward in one breath, don't lose face for our division."

The artillery was still bombing, and according to the agreement, the first round of bombing was already halfway through.

The commander of the third regiment no longer hesitated.
