Colonel Xilu looked very surprised. Out of the blue, a tank disappeared. How is this possible?
It is possible to encounter such a thick fog in the ocean, but on land, even if the fog is thick, it won't make a tank disappear without a trace, right?
However, no matter how Colonel Xilu asked, Tank No. 68 still did not respond to him. Because Colonel Xilu felt confused, he did not dare to immediately issue an order to continue marching.
"Colonel, what should we do?"
The soldiers asked Colonel Xilu because he was the top commander of this tank division.
Colonel Xilu fell into confusion. He couldn't figure out how the tank disappeared. The land of the Altai Republic was full of strange feelings. If he really attacked rashly, he might be trapped by the enemy.
It was clear that the Altai Republic was right in front of us, but Colonel Xilu issued an order to the troops to suspend their advance.
In fact, an infantry division plus a tank division, a team like this, without one tank, does not weaken the combat effectiveness too much. At least it will not take any effort to capture the Altai Republic.
Colonel Parker, the commander of another infantry division, was very surprised to see that the tank division had stopped advancing. The two troops were originally marching in tandem. The infantry division was in front and had already entered the territory of the Altai Republic. .
However, the infantry division did not encounter heavy fog, nor did it encounter any resistance in the Altai area. So they moved forward, but the tank division behind them stopped, so Colonel Parker had to turn around and ask.
"Colonel Xilu, can you tell me what's going on?"
But Colonel Xilu did not give his companions a reasonable explanation. He just said that there was one less tank in his army. Colonel Parker laughed after hearing this.
"I didn't expect that the dignified Colonel Xilu didn't even learn mathematics well as a primary school student. He got the number of the tank wrong and said that there was one less tank. How could such a thing happen in the world?"
Although he was laughed at loudly by his companions. But Colonel Xilu insisted that there were fewer tanks in his team. So he stopped moving forward.
After knowing the attitude of the friendly forces, Colonel Parker immediately expressed his anger!
"Colonel Xilu, I know your plan! Although it is very easy to capture the Altai Republic, facing those fanatical enthusiasts, their resistance will be very fierce. The sacrifice of the army is inevitable. I know that you want the infantry division to rush to the front, and only after the infantry division has suffered casualties will your tank division come up from behind and take our credit!"
Whether it is in the old days or now, military merit is paramount in the army. Whether it is the lowest soldier or the commander of a unit, they all care about military merit.
Therefore, when two troops set off at the same time, they are considered companions, but for the sake of military merit, they are likely to plot against each other.
Colonel Parker took it for granted that Colonel Xilu¡¯s attitude was due to his greed for military glory. Colonel Xilu was wronged by his companions, but he had no way to argue
"A soldier like you is a disgrace to the army! After we capture Altai, I will definitely report you to the military court. Just wait and see!"
Colonel Parker said some angry words and continued to advance with his troops. He had 10,000 troops. Although they were only infantry and did not have the support of heavy weapons, such troops were enough to capture the small Altai.
Sacrifice is inevitable, but Colonel Parker is convinced that he will eventually win!
The infantry division left the tank division and moved forward alone. Although it was an infantry division, it traveled on motorcycles. After penetrating more than ten miles into the territory of Altai, the infantry division had not encountered any obstruction.
Colonel Parker smiled and said: "These cowards must be hiding at home. They are afraid of confronting us, so we didn't encounter even the slightest resistance along the way."
Seeing that the city of Gorno-Altaisk was about to arrive, Colonel Parker looked into the distance, his expression full of disdain for the government of the Altai Republic.
"I think that after arriving in Gorno-Altaisk City, these guys should have come out to resist, right? Otherwise, wouldn't this expedition be too boring?"
Colonel Parker¡¯s words are surprisingly consistent with Colonel Xilu¡¯s. As a soldier, there is nothing more boring than walking around with troops without a war to fight.
However, Colonel Parker¡¯s troops have not yetEntering the city of Gorno-Altaisk, he suddenly felt the sky turn dark.
Could it be that you came at night?
However, when Colonel Parker came to his senses, he discovered that it was not night, but because the troops encountered thick fog, which blocked the sunlight and made the scene look like night.
"It's just a mere fog. How can it stop the advance of my army?"
In the thick fog, Colonel Parker ordered everyone to be on alert. He did not want his troops to be attacked by others when encountering the thick fog.
When the thick fog cleared, Colonel Parker once again reviewed his troops.
¡°So that¡¯s it, that guy Xilu¡¯s troops lost their tanks because they encountered fog!¡±
Thinking of this, Colonel Parker felt very ridiculous that there could be such a clumsy commander in the world who lost his soldiers as soon as he encountered bad weather.
But Colonel Parker thought he was much more capable than Colonel Xilu, so he decisively asked his soldiers to report their numbers.
The results of the count made Colonel Parker very satisfied, because although his troops also encountered thick fog like the tank division, the soldiers were in good order and could still ensure that the formation was not disordered after the thick fog, and the number of people was also A lot.
"That idiot Xilu, I really don't know how you lost the army. A poor commander like you is not qualified to lead the army on an expedition!"
Colonel Parker laughed. But while he was growing bigger, the soldiers felt something was wrong.
"Hahaha¡¡"
Although Colonel Parker kept laughing, his laughter became more and more distorted, and it was not a coherent laugh at all.
People who were a little closer noticed that Colonel Parker's face was also slightly distorted. Just when everyone didn't know what was going on, Colonel Parker, who was at the core of the army, suddenly felt violent attacks on his head, body, and even limbs. His face was twisted, and everyone looked at him. It's like looking at images in a magic mirror.
Then. Within two seconds after the violent distortion, Colonel Parker, the top commander of the infantry division, suddenly disappeared without a trace
The soldiers couldn¡¯t believe their eyes at all. What happened just now?
The highest commander of an army. He actually disappeared in front of everyone inexplicably. Could this be a joke played by Colonel Parker? Is today April 1st? ?
Until a few minutes later. The soldiers finally realized that Colonel Parker was not joking. He had truly disappeared before everyone's eyes - no matter how you think about it, this is incredible. Everyone knows what it means when a unit loses its highest commander.
If what Colonel Xilu, the commander of the tank division, said about the missing tank is true, then this probably will not affect the combat effectiveness of the tank division, because it is just one less tank, which is just a drop in the bucket. That¡¯s all.
However, if the missing person is the top commander of a unit, then the unit will fall into chaos.
The soldiers of the infantry division began to panic. They didn't know what happened. The soldiers who were close knew that it was because Colonel Parker disappeared in front of everyone for no reason. However, those soldiers who were far away couldn't get up close. observation situation, so we can only make random guesses.
This is a monster? Or an alien attack?
No matter what the result is, it is a result that the soldiers do not want to see. Because of this, the soldiers are anxious and don't know what to do? Should we retreat in despair, or should we continue to advance towards the city of Gorno-Altaisk and take advantage of the situation to capture the city?
The infantry division stopped moving forward, but the tank division behind it had already arrived
Colonel Xilu is not afraid of strange things, but he is missing one tank. This can be explained by words such as "negligence". Moreover, the friendly forces in front of him are going deep alone, so it is necessary for him to send a tank division to escort him behind. .
But before he caught up with the infantry division, Colonel Xilu learned that the commander of the infantry division disappeared for no reason, so he rushed over without stopping.
The two troops finally merged. Since there was no one in the infantry division who could replace Colonel Parker, Colonel Xilu ordered the two troops to be merged into one. This infantry-tank division had a total of 20,000 people. people.
When he thought about the sudden lack of a tank in his army, and the infantry division in front even the combat commander disappeared, Colonel Xilu felt a cold sweat break out, the Altai Republic?What kind of place is this?
It is very evil that our side suffered such heavy losses without even encountering an enemy. Colonel Xilu is a cautious soldier. He will not attack until he has figured out what the enemy is doing. Let the troops attack rashly.
So Colonel Xilu immediately issued an order for the troops to be stationed on the spot, and actively sent a report to Moscow, informing President Medev of the special situation encountered by the troops.
Modern communication means are very fast, and President Megeve received the message as soon as possible!
"Are you kidding!? These cowards don't even dare to move, and they even make up such ridiculous excuses. Are they Russian soldiers?"
Sending 20,000 troops to attack the Altai Republic was already a double insurance for this military operation. President Medev could not figure out that such a two-pronged attack would lead to accidents.
President Megeve said that the tank was missing - and later that the commander of the infantry division was also missing. President Megeve thought this was the most ridiculous excuse made up by Colonel Sirou.
Although he also knew that Colonel Xilu was always known for his caution, he never imagined that Colonel Xilu would lie to the government in order to avoid casualties. It's so ridiculous!
In President Megeve's reply to Colonel Sirut, he told Colonel Sirut that it is very ridiculous for soldiers to avoid war. A soldier who does not even dare to face a direct conflict is not qualified to be called a soldier. At the end of the reply, , President Medev also gave Colonel Siru a fatal order to march immediately. He asked Colonel Siru to occupy the entire Altai Republic within a week.
After receiving the recovery from His Excellency the President, Colonel Xilu seemed dumbfounded. The President considers himself a liar. But how does he know whether what he said in his message is true or false? Although it sounds incredible, it is absolutely true. Colonel Xilu did not lie. But the President believes that everything he says is true.
But there is a saying in the art of war. That is to say, he will not accept the order of the foreign king. Although Megeve is the president, he does not understand the situation on the scene, so he has no power to interfere with the military's affairs. So Colonel Siru ignored the orders of His Excellency the President and continued to station the troops in the territory of the Altai Republic, without even the slightest intention of marching.
After learning that the troops on the front line still had not marched, President Megeve was furious. For three days in a row, he issued orders to Colonel Siru to march. However, Colonel Siru ignored the President's order and did not march at all. the meaning of.
President Megeve couldn't bear it anymore, so he issued a presidential decree to remove Colonel Siru. Then he appointed a commander to take over Colonel Siru's position, and told the commander that after receiving the troops, After taking command, he immediately launched an attack on the Altai Republic!
The newly appointed commander¡¯s name is Panderev. Like Colonel Siru, his military rank is also a colonel. However, he has little experience in leading troops, so this time, it can be regarded as an opportunity given to him by the president.
Colonel Penderev has been serving in the Moscow Military District and can be regarded as someone close to the President. President Medev also has considerable trust in this colonel, so he entrusted him with important tasks.
Colonel Panderev was also loyal to His Excellency the President. After receiving the order, he rushed to the front line. With the order of His Excellency the President, he took over the 20,000-strong force from Colonel Xilu. power of command.
"Colonel Penderev, although I know that the President sent you here, I still want to say that because the President does not understand the actual situation here, he has been giving random orders, here In this land, there are still many things hidden that you and I don¡¯t know. These things are likely to bring our troops to their graves. Therefore, Colonel Penderev, for the sake of the lives of all soldiers, I hope , you¡¯d better think carefully before giving the order to march.¡±
Colonel Xilu said earnestly that although he had lost the command of this unit, in his heart, he was reluctant to let go of the soldiers who followed him.
After earnestly admonishing Colonel Penderev, Colonel Xilu left the front line angrily and returned to the Siberian Military Region.
On the other hand, Colonel Penderev is worthy of being a confidant of His Excellency the President. After taking command of the army, he immediately issued the order to march.
The 20,000-strong army set off in a mighty manner, with the infantry division in front and the tank division in the rear. In front of it was the city of Gorno-Altaisk, the capital of the Altai Republic. Penderev knew that among other things,In fact, he is the representative of the Altai Republic. As long as this place is conquered, it will be equivalent to taking over the entire Altai Republic.
Seeing that the city of Gorno-Altaisk was getting closer and closer, Colonel Penderev also began to gear up.
"Colonel Xilu said that we would encounter strange things on the road, but he was obviously lying. Look, we didn't even meet an enemy along the way. How could something strange happen?"
Pandlev also saw the email sent to President Medev, and he sneered at it.
As a soldier, you should fulfill your duties and believe in materialism. How can a soldier believe in things like strange powers and gods?
This is clearly the Altai Republic¡¯s pretense, but Colonel Xilu actually believed it. Let me ask, is there anyone more stupid than him in the world?
Colonel Penderev longed for the ease he would gain after conquering the city of Gorno-Altaisk, but at the front, the troops he led seemed to have encountered the enemy.
We are now quite close to the city of Gorno-Altaisk, which is the capital of the Altai Republic. Think about it, if an army marches straight in, how can there be no enemies to stop it? This is normal.
"The order goes down, infantry divisions and tank divisions, fire on the enemy!"
Since he is an enemy, he must deal a severe blow. Colonel Penderev is not a timid person, and he also knows very well that with the little military power possessed by the Altai Republic, there is no way to fight with himself. To compete with the army he leads!
So the troops began to fire at the enemy in front, and the artillery fire exploded in the enemy's camp. The enemy was obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp. They immediately began to fight back. The weapons and equipment they used were similar to those of the troops led by Pandlev. Used exactly the same.
"They actually have such equipment - it shows that they have long planned to rebel!"
After all, the Altai Republic is not just an administrative region of Russia. How can it be possible for an administrative region to possess such advanced military equipment? It is conceivable that the people in this place have long wanted to be independent from the Russian Federation. Therefore, They just began to actively expand their armaments.
