"Alright then, pass on my order. No one is allowed to show their heads. Whoever shows their heads will die with that infernal weapon of the enemy! The rest of you wait for my next order."
"Yes, sir."
"Also, where is the leader of the First Regiment?"
"He's been killed in action. According to regulations, the remaining soldiers of the First Regiment are now under your command."
"Okay, go and pass the message."
Xiao Cheng recalled the captain of the First Regiment in his mind. Well, he was a Khmer surrendered general, a very brave man. Last night, he was clamoring for a good fight to show everyone the power of the Khmer people and to win face for His Highness Xin Yuetu...
Forget it, I’m dead anyway.
Even if he is powerful, at least as long as I am alive, I will admit that he is more powerful. If I die, then we have to decide who is more powerful.
The gunshots in the distance were getting closer.
Bullets kept hitting the edge of the anti-artillery hole, stirring up clouds of dirt.
According to the training he received in the criminal barracks, he knew that the enemy soldiers were not human at all, and their marksmanship was very good, so he seldom had the chance to fire a second shot. The reason why they continued to shoot even though they couldn't hit him was simply to suppress him.
suppress?
It seems that the other party doesn't really want to rush out on his own.
That's easy.
When it comes to war, the more you don't want me to do something, the more I must do it.
Commander Han Qinhu and several regimental commanders were very clear about the purpose of the Criminal Battalion's battle. Reversing the decline was only one aspect. Consuming the enemy's supplies and consuming as much of the enemy's manpower as possible were only incidental matters. The real purpose was to establish and consolidate the forward base and push the front line forward. As long as the two sides could continue to get closer... the backup plan prepared by the alliance would come in handy.
"The enemy is approaching, three hundred paces."
The voice of the regimental staff came from the side. It seemed that he was hiding in a hole not far from him. Fortunately, he was carrying a periscope and did not need to show his head to see. Otherwise, even if he prepared a hundred regimental staff officers, it would not be enough.
Well, the sound of gunfire has also changed. The opponent's loud automatic rifle, some heavy machine gun, seems to have stopped shooting. It seems that they want to move forward.
"Enemy, two hundred paces."
How long would it take for the heavy machine guns to rebuild their fortifications? Xiao Cheng found himself so nervous that his mind went blank. He had memorized all these data by heart.
Forget it, forget it. Anyway, the officers in Qinghe also said that these data are estimates. Accurate data can only be collected in actual combat...
Statistics in actual combat?
Isn't this just letting me be the bait and letting them do the counting?
Speaking of being a bait, it's better than using the first ball as a nest...
"Enemy, one hundred and fifty steps."
Why are they walking so slowly?
One hundred and fifty steps. If the crossbow was effective, I should have ordered thousands of arrows to be fired at this time, right?
Actually, the crossbow should be effective, but it's really disadvantageous when fighting against the enemy. After careful consideration, the superiors still didn't issue the crossbow to the criminal barracks... I should have asked for a few crossbow arrows earlier, at least to give it a try...
I don’t know whether the three regiments behind are equipped with powerful crossbows, but I don’t have any.
"Enemy, one hundred steps."
A hundred steps seems like a possible charge, but it still feels a bit far. After all, if you set up the heavy machine gun before rushing to the enemy, you will be asking for death.
There is only one chance.
"Enemy, fifty steps."
"Everyone, stay put!"
Xiao Cheng shouted loudly.
It is impossible for the other side not to see the temporary anti-artillery holes they dug. The heavy machine guns must have been set up and are just waiting for them to rush out?
There will definitely be casualties when we just rush out, but it doesn’t matter. General Han is right. Everyone will die, but no one can predict who will die today. We must have the confidence to live forever.
There were constant groans from soldiers who were shot. Xiao Cheng could hear it clearly. It was the enemy's heavy machine guns that were set up and were using projectiles to attack the soldiers hiding in the anti-artillery holes.
Moans came from all directions, but in some places there was no sound at all.
Well, the living people won’t make a sound, and the people who were shot dead won’t make a sound either. I hope there are more living people. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if I rush forward and find that I’m the only one there?
"enemy..."
The regimental staff officer failed to report the distance, and Xiao Cheng knew that he was probably dead too.
But it doesn't matter, the distance is enough.
Xiao Cheng looked at his legs, which were shaking like sieves. If his lower body was not pinched, he would have wet his pants.
Yes, I am very scared, very afraid of death, so I know very well that my fear has reached its limit, which means that now is my last chance.
"Brothers, the time has come, follow me."
Xiao Cheng released his brother's hand, picked up the golden hammer and shouted.
He stood up straight and jumped forward, without even taking a good look at what the "non-human" soldier in front of him looked like, and rushed forward, leaving a trail of water behind him.
Behind him stood all 2,500 soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Regiments...
