Chapter 297 Chapter 297
"Strauss and Bolton are two little bastards, they are fighting so well in the south, and my side is under a lot of pressure." Throwing the gloves to the orderly next to him, Redman, who was dressed in military uniform, strode across After removing the corpse on the ground, he complained to the officers around him.

"General!" Although there is no official Wright Kingdom military rank, the soldiers in North Ridge are still used to calling Redman a general: "Our troops are too scattered. We should gather them in time and make good repairs."

"The 1nd Battalion of the 2st Regiment is still in Kanze, and the 1st Battalion has just arrived in Ximei, and we are now close to the royal city of Gemelin." This Northridge staff officer also studied in the military academy , so the analysis of the battlefield is also straightforward.

According to the previous war situation, the Northridge Army seems to be too scattered. Their two infantry regiments are scattered in a vast area, and they can't even look at each other from head to tail.

Carriage convoys and car convoys transporting heavy artillery are now crowded on the roads. Because these mules and horses have to transport a large amount of ammunition and heavy artillery, they are no faster than other friendly troops.

Behind these mules and horses are other armies of the Wright Kingdom. More than 10,000 troops are advancing, and there will be another more than 10,000 people following.

The Kingdom of Wright assembled more than 2 troops, and the two infantry regiments following the Northridge Army and the reinforced artillery battalion attacked the Kingdom of Gemelin.

However, because the Northridge Army's offensive speed is too fast, these follow-up troops are now out of touch, and they are about 90 kilometers away from the real front line.

King Wright VII of the Wright Kingdom did not expect that the Northridge Legion, commanded by Redman, would be able to advance at such a terrifying speed.

Along the way, he only saw the defeated captives of the Kingdom of Gmelin, who had no time to retreat. Most of the time, the troops he led were only doing the work of receiving land and cities, and guarding the captives.

He is really very happy that the war has ended like this - he started a new round of expansion with almost no effort.

The Wright Kingdom is in his hands, and the area is already three times that of his father's reign. This kind of achievement has already made him a little bit elated.

The Northridge Army can be so dispersed and control such a large area, on the one hand, because their commanders are more flexible, have higher subjective initiative, and can make independent judgments and respond to possible crises in a timely manner.

On the other hand, it is also because of their weapons and equipment that they are indeed far ahead of their opponents.

They have grenades, a new weapon that can be used to clear out houses and trenches, as well as to deal with enemy troops trying to fight at close quarters.

They are also equipped with some mortars developed by the Datang Group that have never appeared on the battlefield-this thing has always been not for sale by the Datang Group, and only equipped with a part of the Northridge Legion.

With such a light portable artillery, the Northridge troops have a certain degree of artillery support when facing fortifications such as castles.

After all, these mortars can really keep up with troops, and they are easy to operate, and the ammunition is powerful enough.

This time, it was the mortars carried by the Northridge Army that blasted open the gates of the city. The infantry who followed up used the KAR98K rifles in their hands, that is, the K3 rifles, and equipped them with Cyric flintlock rifles. The soldiers of the Kingdom of Gmelin were taught a lesson.

The weapons of both sides are not a product of the same era at all. The Cyric flintlock can only look at the face at a distance of tens of meters, but the 98K rifle can easily hit the target at a combat distance of 300 meters.

After a street fight, or a scuffle that wasn't even considered a street fight, Redman took control of the place relying on only one battalion of more than 500 soldiers.

Because of the pressure of the Battle of Dorne, Redman had to speed up his army advance. He had to accumulate capital for himself on the Gmelin battlefield, otherwise his rank of major general would soon be unstoppable. up.

As a teacher, he is not as good as the students, which is a shame for Redman.

"Where's the city lord here?" Redman asked, looking at the prisoner kneeling on the ground who was held down by the soldiers.

"My lord... Your lord...the city master...he, he is just stepping on your feet!" The prisoner couldn't even speak because of fear.

He stammered, and was afraid that he would be shot to death if he spoke too slowly, so he stammered even more: "He, he, he was, was, was... shot, killed!"

Redman looked down at his feet, and found that there was indeed a man in gorgeous clothes lying on the ground. He was shot in the forehead, and the blood dried up.

"The position of the 2st Battalion of the 1nd Regiment! Where are they?" Redman moved unluckily, avoiding the dead city lord Earl, and asked the staff officer beside him.

The staff officer motioned to the two intern sergeants to help spread out the map, pointed to a location and explained: "The 2st Battalion of the 1nd Regiment was here 2 hours ago, and now they can only advance to about 20 kilometers behind us..."

"So slow?" Redman asked with some distaste—even though, the advance speed of the 2nd Regiment and 1st Battalion, according to past indicators, was already a model of the speed of soldiers.

"No way, General. They have to take care of the heavy artillery battalion behind them. If the distance is too large, accidents are prone to happen." The staff officer explained to Redman.

Redman nodded helplessly, then pointed to a mark on the map and asked, "Is this the royal city of Gemelin? We are still 30 kilometers away from here?"

"Yes, there are still 30 kilometers... But, sir, we have advanced for a day and a night. If the soldiers don't rest, they will be in a very bad state." The staff officer seemed to know what Redman wanted to do, and he reminded the officer nervously , the force is limited.

"Why are you so nervous? I didn't intend to take the whole battalion of officers and soldiers to the other side's royal city." Redman smiled shyly and offered some comfort.

However, the other party obviously heard something strange from Redman's words: "You don't bring 'quan', 'battalion', 'de', 'officer', 'soldier'...?"

"Yes! Reconnaissance platoon, 1st company, I will take more than 200 people away." Redman patted the other party's shoulder, with a sense of "I am interesting".

"General! I must be responsible for your safety!" The staff officer looked at several officers around him, and emphasized in a very serious tone: "We can't divide the troops like this!"

"The 1st and 2nd companies will follow me, and the reconnaissance platoon will be left for you." Redman followed suit and immediately offered a more "safe" plan.

"..." The staff officer was completely speechless. He stared at Redman, and said emphatically: "General! It's not a question of whether you take one company or two companies! This is the Kingdom of Gmelin! We are already in The enemy's hinterland is here! Such a dispersal of troops is definitely a taboo for military strategists!"

"It doesn't matter! Let's take advantage of the opportunity that the enemy has not fully mobilized the surrounding troops, and drive straight in! If we break through the king's city, the opponent will lose completely!" Redman's thinking is exactly the opposite of that of the staff: "The more chaotic, the more difficult the situation is for us. Advantageous! In chaos, our troops can fight more bravely, while the enemy can only be beaten passively!"

Redman has great confidence in the Northridge troops trained by the Datang Group. It can be said that he even firmly believes that this is the most elite army in the world.

In addition to fighting against the security forces of the Datang Group, Northridge's troops may suffer losses, and they should crush their opponents against any force.

"But! General! Two companies are too few! Wait for two days, or at least one day, until the follow-up troops catch up. Even if we have only one battalion, we can continue to attack!" At this time, the 1rd Battalion of the 3st Regiment The battalion commander, that is, the battalion commander of the battalion that Redman is currently in also spoke persuasively.

"Then I will give you 2 hours! Rest for 2 hours! After that, the whole army will continue to advance! Attack the King City of Gemelin! Leave... 20 people, and wait for the follow-up troops to take over here!" Redman looked at the still smoking slightly The city streets in the distance spoke.

Gritting his teeth, the commander of the 3rd Battalion stood at attention and saluted, and agreed, "Yes! General!"

Seeing that the commander of the 3rd Battalion was not willing to give up the credit for capturing the opponent's royal city, the staff officer could only sigh: "Then let's do it this way! But... 3 hours! General! Give the soldiers another hour!"

"Hahaha!" Seeing that no one objected to his order to attack immediately, Redman nodded in a good mood and said, "That's three hours! After resting for three hours, leave 20 soldiers to guard here, and the rest The... keep going! The goal...Gamelin King City!"

"Yes!" The two officers rushed to convey the order, and seized the time to let the troops rest.

In the royal city of Gemelin, at this moment, they don't know that there is already an enemy army, which is only less than 30 kilometers away from them.

This ancient, bulky city hovers on the horizon, looking solemn and solemn.

In the inner city, within the palace, the king of Gemelin was walking back and forth anxiously in front of his throne.

The knights he sent out to inquire about the news brought back all kinds of confusing news, so the top management of the entire Gemelin Kingdom has been unable to make the most effective response.

There was no way, some knights said that the enemy army was still near the border, and some knights said that the enemy army had crossed the Gemelin River and surrounded the royal city on both sides.

In short, there are all kinds of news.

But even the king of Gemelin himself didn't believe that the opponent would attack so quickly. In less than a month, he attacked from the territory of the Wright Kingdom to the upper reaches of the Gemelin River.

Therefore, everyone is waiting, waiting for these rumors and intelligence to gather together to get a clearer situation before issuing orders to deal with it.

At this time, a knight stumbled into the gate of the palace, staggered and pushed away the soldiers blocking the way, and ran forward, shouting loudly: "The enemy! The enemy has captured the river sand castle... ...It is less than 30 kilometers away from Wangcheng!"
-
Long Ling started to stay up late again... That's right, the second is later, everyone can watch it tomorrow morning...
