Alien Empire Total War - Chapter 229

“Defend the general! Defend the general!”

His ears were filled with the anxious shouts of the soldiers of the guards and the continuous sound of gunfire on the battlefield. Blank held a rifle tightly in his hand, and escorted by the guards, he evacuated the wall and went to the only stone building in the stronghold. The position of the headquarters moved.

The two exits of the stronghold were occupied by the enemy. They had no other way to retreat except to retreat to the headquarters. After discovering the enemy’s situation, they also sent messengers to the nearest troops to ask for help before the gate was closed, and asked the nearby friendly troops to hurry as soon as possible. Come to the rescue of the dilemma encountered by the army.

Blank only hoped to be able to retreat to the headquarters and wait until the arrival of reinforcements. If the military headquarters were really taken over, the lessons of the Second Army would still be vivid in his mind.

Blank’s group was very conspicuous. After evacuating the wall, they were quickly targeted by the Imperial soldiers who had entered the stronghold. The latter hurriedly shouted to the surrounding comrades and shot at Blank and them, and the guards immediately turned aside. Fight back, retreating.

Blank, who was protected inside, saw with his own eyes that many soldiers in khaki military uniforms, after shooting bullets in their rifles, drew out the bayonets on their waists, put them in front of the muzzle, and fought with the enemy in close quarters. Fighting knives are red, and those who are not skilled in combat will soon be pierced by sharp bayonets and take their lives.

In the place where the ammunition boxes were stored, the Enklan soldiers were still stubbornly resisting. They relied on the carriage as a bunker and fired back at the enemy who intended to attack here. The stick pried open the closed ammunition box, took out the stacks of paper-packed bullets stored in it, and distributed them to the surrounding soldiers.

The outer wall of the carriage, which they used as a bunker, was already battered and devastated by bullets. An Imperial Grenadier tried to ignite the grenade lead and threw it at the enemy, but was grabbed by a comrade next to him and yelled at him. :

“You are killing us! If the ammunition box inside is also detonated, a large area of ​​people around will be affected!”

After being reprimanded by his comrades, the grenadier had to hang the grenade back on his waist, picked up his rifle and shot at an enemy who was leaning out, but the bullet he shot did not hit the enemy, but hit the edge of the carriage and splashed out. The wood shavings startled the Enkelan soldier, who immediately shrank back.

“We can’t continue to shoot each other with the enemy, we must launch a charge to solve the enemy there through hand-to-hand combat!”

An imperial officer said to his colleagues that the enemy could rely on cover to shoot at them, but they rarely found cover, and it would not do them any good to shoot each other like this.

Another officer also agreed with his statement. The two officers summed up, then drew their sabers, and waved to their subordinates and shouted: “Fight with me! Let the bayonet see red!”

“rush!”

The soldiers who received the order shouted and charged with their bayonets along with the officers. The Enkelan soldiers who were hiding behind the carriage quickly hit the bayonet for the muzzle. One of the soldiers shot and hit the front. The officer, who fell to the ground with a groan, the officer’s fall did not stop the soldiers from charging. They shouted around the carriage and engaged in close combat with the enemy.

The officer who rushed in front kicked and kicked an Enkelan soldier, then flipped the saber and stabbed it down, the blood spurting from the wound splashed his face. The soldiers who rushed behind him also fought with the enemy, bayonet to bayonet, **** to butt, the knife saw blood, neat and clean.

“kill!”

With systematic blessings, the fighting qualities of the imperial soldiers are completely unmatched by the Enklan soldiers, and the battle has progressed to such a point that the morale of the recalcitrant Enklan defenders has gradually weakened, and they are bayoning against the imperial infantry. Shortly after the battle, the battered Enklan soldiers lost their morale and fled.

On the other side, Blank and several officers, who were escorted by the guards, finally withdrew into the headquarters, and the defeated or disorganized soldiers in the entire stronghold would retreat here subconsciously. Therefore, when they entered the headquarters, the hall was completely empty. The interior was already crowded with withdrawing soldiers.

When they saw Blank, they stood up and saluted. The latter glanced at the somewhat disgraced soldiers. He found that some of the soldiers had no weapons in their hands. They hid in the crowd with their bare hands and found Blank in the When he looked at himself, he lowered his head a little nervously and ashamed.

Blank didn’t blame them, he raised his head and said, “The Rumont people have already invaded the stronghold, this is our last line of defense, and you have no way to escape. Your duty is to defend the army, now pick up Your weapons, defend this building, and don’t let a Lumon step into the gates of the headquarters!”

“Yes, General!”

The soldiers agreed loudly, as Blank said, this building is their last line of defense, and they have no way to escape. Their duty is also to defend the army and the general, and the only thing they can do now is to be under the command of the general. Hold on to this building.

Those who wanted to surrender to save their lives had already voluntarily surrendered to the enemy long before they came, and those who fled back here were all thinking of those who were stubbornly resisting.

Afterwards, Blank walked up to the top floor quickly and ordered someone to burn the confidential documents in the headquarters. Although he kept reassuring himself and the people around him that they would be able to stick to the reinforcements, he was actually in the bottom of his heart. He didn’t really believe it. He knew that it was only a matter of time before the enemy broke through with the hundreds of people in the headquarters.

However, because it is a stone building, the explosive packs used by the enemy to break through the gate can only work on the gate of the headquarters. Unless the enemy throws artillery, they can only enter from the gate – the battle has lasted for so long , the enemy has not used artillery, so he infers that the attacking enemy did not carry artillery.

Before that, he must prepare for the worst and burn all the secrets to avoid the situation where the enemy will be in a hurry and have no time to burn them down. He cannot let all the secrets fall into the hands of the enemy. The army, together with the third army, was a catastrophic blow.

What Blank did not know was that the artillery of the three divisions of the Fourth Army finally arrived at the stronghold at this time, but because the stronghold had been breached, there was no reason to be used for the time being.

After the Enklan soldiers who were still stubbornly resisting in the stronghold were gradually cleared, the imperial soldiers surrounded the stone building in the center of the stronghold, looking at the Enklan soldiers who were deployed behind various windows. The three division commanders of the army were reluctant to let the soldiers launch a storm and cause more casualties. They then ordered the artillery to set up artillery and aim at the building to prepare for shelling.
