He is a veteran in his forties and should have participated in real combat. There is a lion with teeth and claws embroidered under the sergeant major badge on his left arm, indicating that he was once a member of the Marine Special Forces.
Erta interrupted the sergeant major impatiently, "I don't care whether it disrupts the formation of these Charno people. I only care about whether my soldiers can survive this battle."
Elta raised his hand and pointed at the bright spot in the sky that gradually became clearer. "The Imperials' landing craft will soon implement a tactical landing operation. We must enter the Charno position before they land. You don't think that we, People can stop the Imperial people¡¯s attack.¡±
The sergeant major did not speak. He was deeply suspicious of Elta's high-sounding words. I am afraid that Elta was not worried about the lives of his soldiers, but his own life.
"Sergeant major, answer my question."
"Lieutenant Colonel, there is an open space between us and the Charnor defense position. If we force our way through this open space, we will become a target for Imperial fighter planes. I think anyone who stays in the trenches and fights to the death with the Imperials can survive." The chance will be greater. Even if we die, at least we have to face the enemy!"
The sergeant major answered loudly, causing an uneasy commotion among the young soldiers gathered in the trench.
A young Alliance soldier collapsed completely. His head and body were covered with dried dark red blood clots. In the just bombing by fighter planes, four of his comrades were blown into pieces by high-explosive bombs. But he was lucky enough to survive. He sat on the ground and cried loudly: "I want to go home, I miss my mother"
More soldiers joined the cry. They were too young. Youth often represents poorer psychological endurance. Most of them have never experienced the death of relatives or friends, let alone getting along with themselves day and night. His comrade of three years was blown to pieces by high-tech weapons in front of him. The bloody hell battlefield destroyed the will of these young soldiers.
There was a slight vibration on the ground, and the imperial landing craft landed on the land of Yaoguang Star. A denser barrage of fire passed over the heads of the Confederate soldiers in the trenches as the Charnows struggled to stop the Imperial landing craft. The Imperials' landing operation was inevitable, and the huge gap in military power between the two sides had already destined such an outcome. Charno's defensive firepower only tried to cause as much damage to the Imperials as possible before they landed. An Imperial landing craft carried about 120 soldiers. If they could be shot down in the air, almost no one would survive. It's a good deal.
On the contrary, once the ground fighters establish a landing site, mechas and heavy armor will appear on the battlefield. At this time, the ground firepower will not have much energy to take care of the landing craft in the air, and the battle situation will gradually develop into an unfavorable situation.
At this time, the interstellar fleet supporting Yaoguang Star was still on its way, and the pressure on the Charno defense line had almost reached the limit it could withstand. The Empire's attacks had not been interrupted since a week ago.
Bo Jiangang once tried to persuade the advisory group stationed in the alliance theater on the capital star to send a support fleet to Yaoguang Star. However, the advisory group rejected Bo Jiangang's request on the grounds that General Douglas was not around and they had no right to mobilize troops. Most importantly, What's more, they simply don't believe that the Empire will launch an attack on Yaoguang Star. In their view, even if the Empire launches an attack, their target should not choose Yaoguang Star. There is an advance team of the Democratic Alliance there. This is undoubtedly a hard bone. Tactically speaking, the Imperials had no reason and should not attack an asteroid that had neither strategic value nor a heavily fortified asteroid.
Bo Jiangang had no choice but to squeeze out an interstellar fleet from the front line, which was under tremendous pressure, to rush to aid Yaoguang Star. He originally hoped to encircle and annihilate the imperial attack fleet. The benefits of doing so were obvious. A coalition victory would undoubtedly greatly boost morale, but this idea failed.
Yaoguang Star is temporarily in an isolated and helpless situation.
The situation of the 130th Division became increasingly difficult. The rapid retreat of the Allied forces exposed their left flank to the Imperials. The imperial landing craft continued to land in this gap. Zhang Tailai ordered the division's howitzer battalion to carry out indiscriminate fire coverage in this area, but the effect was not obvious. The long-range imaging system has observed a small group of mechas and a dozen heavy armors appearing on the battlefield. There was total silence on the Allied position where Zhang Tailai had originally pinned his hopes on being able to fight a last-ditch battle.
"Division Commander, if that doesn't work, I'll take a mecha squad and two battalions to garrison that trench." Zhang Zekai noticed the division commander's troubles and said,
Zhang Tailai was a little hesitant. There were advantages and disadvantages to this. The advantage is that the longer it takes to prevent the Imperial Marines from attacking the 130th Division from the left wing, the greater the losses caused by ground firepower to the Imperial landing forces; but the focus of the battle will also be?Putting it to Zhang Zhetai and others, the imperial commander is not a fool. He will order the ground troops to open the ground passage to reduce the pressure on the frontal airborne troops.
At the same time, the open space covered by dense artillery fire between the defensive positions and the trenches is undoubtedly a death trap. The troops passing there will inevitably be hit hard by the imperial air firepower.
Zhang Zhetai followed the division commander's gaze and saw that the open field had been plowed back and forth several times by the Imperial artillery fire. White smoke was rising from the charred soil, and not even a slightly larger rock could be seen. He understands what the teacher is worried about?
"Division commander, give me the divisional reconnaissance battalion and the first battalion of the first regiment. As long as you can buy me five minutes of time, I will be sure."
"Okay," Zhang Tailai clapped his hands fiercely. Now is not the time to be indecisive, "I order the artillery to buy you five minutes before implementing tactical fog cover in the open area. You must bring the troops over to me."
"Don't worry, division commander." Zhang Zekai performed a standard military salute and ran out of the underground bunker of the headquarters despite gunfire.
¡®Bangbang¡¯, the white battlefield fog filled the sky above the open field,
"Go!" Zhang Zekai roared, and countless figures rushed into the fog,
The imperial aerial fighters immediately discovered the white smoke in the open space and began to dive towards the ground. The light ships entering the atmosphere also began to launch dense fire nets into the fog; on the other hand, under the command of Zhang Tailai, the 130th Division's ground anti-aircraft firepower Fully opened, a fire net of death flames was formed in the sky over the open area. Imperial fighter planes were shot down by artillery fire before they could reach the attack position, making a harsh roar.
Elta, who was hiding in the trench, kept comforting the young soldiers who were overly frightened and collapsed, while glaring at the sergeant major. He obviously did not understand why the sergeant major who seemed to have experienced the baptism of war was still irritating at this moment. Soldiers on the verge of collapse.
The sergeant major was half-crouching in the trench, with a stern expression on his face. Either perish in silence or go crazy in silence. These are the two extreme reactions of human beings when facing extreme difficulties. The defeated people will become corpses, while the crazy people will at least have a chance of walking away alive. Get off the battlefield. He recalled what his instructor once said, and now all he had to do was arouse a little bit of madness in the soldier's heart. On a war-torn battlefield, not all times require a cool head, like now!
The abnormally intensive firepower on the other side of the trench attracted the attention of the sergeant major. He crawled onto the trench and carefully poked his head out from behind a rock.
The Imperial fighter planes swooped down from the sky like crazy. At this time, the sky above the open area was almost covered by a dense firepower net. The fiery red high-speed projectiles and the faint blue energy beams interacted with each other, and fighter planes continued to drag them. The burning fire made a strange noise and fell from the sky, and a milky white mist enveloped the entire open land.
The sergeant major turned around and fell down the slope of the trench into the trench, with a hint of surprise and confusion on his face.
"What's going on?" Elta asked anxiously,
"It seems that the Charno people are breaking through the open space and trying to enter the trenches. The Imperial fighter planes and interstellar firepower are blocking the fire."
"Ah!" Elta was stunned for a moment, then shouted excitedly: "They are here to save us, haha."
The crying soldier stopped sobbing, his eyes filled with hope.
The sergeant major glanced at the Imperial Marines who were gathering on the other side, "They are not here to save us, but to stop the Imperial Marines."
"How is that possible!" Erta made a sharp voice, "I am a lieutenant colonel of the alliance. We are here to save them. They should protect us."
The sergeant major lowered his head and checked the equipment on his body. After receiving the weapons and equipment left by Charno for them, only a few soldiers put on individual armor and picked up weapons. Most of them just sat blankly with dull eyes. Looking at the collapsed young soldiers, they had no idea what they, the defeated generals, should do next.
"We are the ones who need to be saved, not them! Lieutenant Colonel, it was your extremely stupid command and your arrogance and arrogance that caused us heavy losses. You are a disgrace to the alliance!" The sergeant major looked coldly at the man who was about to fall into hysteria. Erta said coldly.
The soldiers looked at Elta in unison, and several soldiers standing behind the sergeant tightened their hands on their guns involuntarily.
The sergeant major reached out to hold down the agitated soldier beside him, "The alliance's military court will make a fair judgment, if he can survive this battle."
Countless figures climbed into the trench from the slope of the trench.
A stout CharlThe officer shouted loudly before he even got up from the ground, "Each combat team will check their equipment, count their numbers, and enter the position immediately. Damn it, what are you people gathering here for? Didn't you see that the Imperials are about to launch an attack?" Attacked? Where is your commander?"
