Alien Empire Total War - Chapter 240

“Rush up! Rush up!”

“As long as we defeat the enemy in front of us, we can break out of the siege and join our friendly forces!”

On the chaotic and noisy battlefield, the shouts and encouragement of the Enkelan officers kept echoing in the ranks of the attacking troops. Inspired to brave the rain of bullets flying in front, charge forward.

The charge of the soldiers of the En army can almost be described as sending them to death. They were brought here by the general and they were still imagining that they could defeat the enemy in front of them and gain freedom, but the firepower of the imperial army that stopped them was very fierce. The shot caused many soldiers of the Enjun army to fall one after another on the way to charge.

bang bang bang —

Officer Enkelan, who had just shouted, also followed in the charging queue. He saw with his own eyes, a burst of fire suddenly burst into the enemy line 100 meters away. On the Enklan formation in the charge, a cloud of blood exploded in front of the soldiers at the front, and the whole person fell down before he could even let out a scream.

A soldier a few meters in front of the officer was lucky to survive this round of shooting, but a comrade in front of him was hit in the head by the bullet, which penetrated his head and came out of the back of his head, There was a splash of **** red brain mixed with blood, and the brain splashed directly on the soldier’s face, leaving him stunned on the spot.

Feeling the warm viscous liquid on his face, the soldier only felt a strong stench penetrate his nose and hit his olfactory nerve. His eyes were still staring at the back of the unfortunate comrade in front of him. In the hole that was drilled, he seemed to be able to see the brain tissue that had been ripped off by lead bullets.

He was stunned for less than a second, and his heart was occupied by a huge fear. He first let out a high-pitched scream of unknown meaning, and then turned around and ran behind.

When the officer reacted, the soldier had already passed him and fled towards the back. The escape of the soldier also led to the surrounding soldiers who were also a little shaken. When they saw someone escaped first, they took a look a hundred meters away. The enemy army, who was preparing to launch a new round of salvo, also turned around and ran without hesitation.

But the officer had already reacted at this time, and he roared at the soldiers: “Don’t retreat! Go back! Continue to charge! Don’t retreat!”

How could the few soldiers who had already made up their minds to retreat would listen to the officer’s words. They turned a deaf ear to the officer’s roar and accelerated their pace, but at this moment, the officer could not dissuade them, and then looked around more and more. More and more soldiers appeared ready to move, in order to prevent more people from retreating, he directly raised the flintlock pistol in his hand, and pulled the trigger at the back of one of the fleeing soldiers—

After the sound of a gunshot, the bullet that flew from the muzzle accurately hit the back of the soldier who was targeted. The man only felt a heavy blow to the back, and then the whole person fell to the front. , He instantly realized that he was hit by a bullet, but the severe pain from his back made his whole body seem to have lost the strength from the wound, and he didn’t even have the strength to get up.

He shot and killed a soldier with his own hands. The officer’s face was still expressionless, and there was no disturbance in his heart. He then pointed the muzzle of the gun, which was still smoking white smoke, at the other soldiers who were too shocked to continue to escape, and scolded. : “Go back to your position! As soldiers of the Republic, you can’t die in humiliation at the hands of your own people. Even if you die, you must die on the way to charge!”

Several soldiers looked at each other. Although the flintlock pistol in the officer’s hand could only shoot one bullet and was now empty, they were still shocked by the comrades who had just fallen, and they also discovered that the first to escape The soldier was shot and killed by the officers behind him after running for a distance. Unless they could incite more people to flee with them, they would only end up being shot to death if they continued to flee.

So, despite their unwillingness in their hearts, they bravely followed the surrounding soldiers and continued to charge forward.

At the same time, in the safe rear, the first division commander Ramsey and the second division commander Rubio looked at the battlefield filled with gunpowder with ashen faces. They thought that the strength of two divisions was enough to forcibly break through the enemy’s one division. The defense line merged with the friendly forces of the third army behind, but the development of the battle did not go according to their ideas. The battle lasted for more than half an hour. Being repelled, the current second wave of offensive also has a faint trend of retreating.

What’s more fatal is that the morale of the soldiers in the army has dropped after they fell into the encirclement, and now the whole army continues to resist their two divisions, which makes many grassroots soldiers and a few officers complain, if not for them. In the past, he had inspired his subordinates and said that as long as they broke through the enemy’s defense line, they would be able to escape, and now many soldiers must have escaped in the chaos.

When life and death are at stake, the so-called belief in defending the homeland and the country seems to be as illusory and useless, especially for those soldiers who come from poor families, their sense of belonging to this country is not as high as that of soldiers from the middle class. They are more inclined to save their own lives than to defend their homeland.

Moreover, even if the Enkelan government and various newspapers and magazines tried their best to smear the Borsland Empire, the lower-level civilians had long known that the life of the Empire’s civilians was far richer than them. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com As far as the poor and frightened commoners are concerned, they do not resist the rule of the empire, and even have a little expectation in their hearts.

Pull away.

Now for the first and second divisions of the En army, the biggest dilemma is the imperial army that is blocking them in front of them. They have been unable to make a breakthrough in the attack of the enemy in front of them, and there are also an unknown number of imperial troops behind them. Following the trail of their march, if they could not break through the enemy’s line of defense as soon as possible, and when the enemy behind them caught up, the two divisions would really be in a desperate situation.

It is also worth mentioning that in order to speed up the march, they directly abandoned the heavy and inconvenient artillery when they arrived here. Therefore, in the current attack, they can only endure the bombardment of the enemy’s heavy firepower, and cannot To counter it, the wanton bombardment of the enemy’s artillery aggravated the rout speed of the soldiers of the enemy army and caused a great blow to their morale.

As a result, the second wave of offensive failed logically. Under the watchful eyes of the two division commanders, the Enkelan soldiers in khaki military uniforms retreated like a tide, and they soon had no chance to launch the third wave. Because behind them, the imperial army chasing after them was less than half an hour away.
