Alien Empire Total War - Chapter 260
Although many units of the Enkrans garrison continued to resist, under the strong advance of the imperial army, the garrison’s positions continued to fall, and more and more soldiers died in the battle.
The fighting continued until noon that day, and like a flock of flocks chased by hungry wolves, the Enklan army abandoned block after block, eventually retreating to the National Assembly in the center of the city.
The National Parliament of the Republic of Enkland, which is the political core of the entire country, is a five- or six-meter-high spired building made of white marble.
In front of dozens of steps, there are many busts lined up neatly. The figures of those statues are famous figures in the history of the republic. After their death, the statues carved in their likeness are still quietly observed. The world in Republic Square.
These statues can almost be called cultural relics, but in the face of war, cultural relics have no immunity to escape from war.
The soldiers retreating to the parliament piled sacks filled with sand among the statues in advance. The soldiers then hid behind cover and shot at the Imperial soldiers who were attacking them in the square.
The two sides shot each other violently, and the bullets flew across the air, hitting the delicate busts from time to time. After the statue was hit by the bullets, the gravel splattered, leaving indelible scars.
The Enjun soldiers who hid behind the bunker quickly left several corpses, and fled from the two sides in a hurry. They are not stupid. Now that the situation is over, returning to the parliament to resist will only cost them their lives in vain. Get out of the field now.
The Imperial soldiers who launched the attack paid no attention to the rout soldiers who fled from both sides. Those who could not escape very far, their khaki military uniforms would soon lead them to be captured by other troops that came. After defeating the resisting enemy at the bottom of the stairs, the imperial soldiers climbed up the stairs under the passionate attack horn and continued to attack.
The soldiers of the Enforcement Army who had already returned to the Parliament immediately shot down at the enemy from a high position. The sound of gunfire was loud outside the parliament gate. From time to time on the stairs, Imperial soldiers were hit by bullets and fell down screaming.
The other soldiers were not shaken by this. As they climbed the stairs, they raised their guns to shoot at the enemy above. After shooting, they did not stop to reload, but continued to charge with their rifles equipped with bayonets.
Under the stubborn resistance of the Remnants of the Enclave Parliamentary Guard and other troops, the battle that took place in the Parliament lasted for more than an hour before it finally ended.
After the battle, the original white marble exterior wall was covered with bullet craters and blood splattered by soldiers. The stairs, gates and the interior of the building were covered with the bodies of soldiers from both sides. The interior of the building was even affected by the battle and became a mess. , especially the luxuriously decorated corridor. The precious calligraphy and paintings hanging on both sides of the corridor were damaged by stray bullets. The bust mounted on the mahogany base also had multiple craters like the row of statues under the stairs.
“At 15:00 on December 10th, Imperial soldiers who had experienced a fierce battle climbed to the top of this core building in the center of the city, and the general’s flag was stretched out and waved high…
The soldiers in the Republic Square watched this scene, held up their weapons and military caps and other things high, and cheered loudly, celebrating that the imperial army had finally captured the core of the country, the National Parliament of Enkelland. “
This is a commentary made by one of the Imperial soldiers who participated in the attack on the Parliament after the war on an oil painting titled “Victory Day”. This soldier was originally a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts. After the outbreak of the Southern War, he actively participated in the recruitment of the army, and finally captured the city of Enclance with the army.
…
After the capture of the National Assembly, other blocks of the city of Enklans were also occupied by the imperial army. The last battle site of the city took place in the port, where the imperial army fought fiercely with the last remaining Enklan army. After defeating the latter, they took advantage of the port, but unfortunately, the ships originally moored in the port fled here during the siege.
It was not until the early morning of the 11th that the Imperial Army finally took control of the entire city. After that, the Imperial Army began to disperse its forces, maintain patrols in various neighborhoods, stabilize the order in the city, search for the defeated soldiers of the Enemy, and arrest those who intend to fish in troubled waters. The younger generation.
The imperial people have zero tolerance for the young people who fish in troubled waters. They have begun to guide citizens to actively report those who have been involved in robbery, rape, murder and other crimes in the past few days, and drive the arrested people to the edge of the wall. Stand in a row and be shot.
The cruel treatment of the imperial army undoubtedly deterred those who were still ready to move, and let their hearts cool down quickly, and the citizens who had been attacked did not give up this opportunity, exposed to the army and testified the murderer who attacked them, and finally witnessed the murderer. was executed.
However, because the imperial army did not conduct a detailed review at the beginning, the accused people were arrested. Among them, there were also some people who were maliciously slandered by their usual grudges and were also arrested.
The unjust, false and wrongful convictions caused by it cannot be denied, but what is certain is that the **** tactics carried out by the imperial army after entering the city did have a good effect, quickly stabilizing the order in the occupied area.
At the same time, the Imperial Army did not give up the search for the top officials of the Enclave Republic. They had already learned the news of the disappearance of the Chief Speaker Creighton Heller from the captured Enklan personnel. Combined with the ships leaving the port, they There is reason to believe that ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Heller was on one of the ships, and their destination was likely to be the eastern region that had not yet been invaded by the Imperial forces.
Before marching east, the Imperial forces occupying the city of Enklans had to meet the counterattack of the Enklan troops who had withdrawn from the front.
Although the Enklan Third Army was attacked in the north, suffered heavy losses and was unable to go south, the Enklan Army, which was previously deployed in the coastal areas, still preserved its strength well under the cover of its own navy. threaten.
However, a few days later, to the surprise of the Imperial Army, the Enklan army did not attack Enklans, but took an **** after retreating into a coastal town only two days away from Enklans Their naval battleships headed east.
When the news reached the commander of the Fifth Army, Victor Clos, he immediately concluded that the upper echelons of the Enkelans must have moved to the east, and were ready to continue their stubborn resistance in the east against the imperial army. attack.
However, he did not take this matter too seriously, because the main force of the Enklan people was almost annihilated by them, and the only remaining force in the enemy’s hands was vulnerable, and the destruction of the Enklan Republic was only a matter of time.
