Terra Martial God and Merit System

Such an arrangement can alleviate the attack of artillery to a certain extent.

Chapter 16 Cold Shot [Reward plus ]

"Handover complete. I leave this to you, Commander Hamblin."

Hamblin nodded slightly and saluted, "Bon voyage, everyone!"

The damage suffered by the vanguard needed to be repaired, and Kosice had to mobilize the troops in the rear to make up for the shortfall here.

The task of partial supply and defense fell on the shoulders of the "miscellaneous troops".

Among these "ragtag troops", the only one Koschei could trust was "Hablin".

Hamblin watched the other person leave and took a deep breath.

"What should we do now?" his adjutant stepped forward and asked cautiously.

Needless to say, this adjutant was also planted by the Terra Union.

"Let's start," said Hamblin.

"Start?"

He adjusted his Ursus military uniform and said, "Do you know who I admire the most in the world?"

"City Lord?"

"That's right." Hamblin snapped his fingers, "He is my idol."

"I studied the great deeds that the city lord had done. I realized one important thing..."

“Life depends on acting.”

"Now it's time for us to act."

"So in the end..."

"First gain Kosice's trust, then give him a fatal blow," said Hamblin. "Tell everyone to show their spirit."

"Oh." The adjutant shook his head. After saying so much, it was still the same things.

Isn't it just repeating what happened on the defense line before?

........

An hour after Hamblin took over the defense.

A Terran Union team launched a surprise attack, causing extremely heavy casualties.

Under the artillery fire, Hamblin led the way to protect the supplies on the supply line and engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy.

Finally, the enemy was driven away.

The price paid was heavy casualties among Hamblin and surrounding troops.

Of course, their achievements obviously attracted the attention of others. Many people were impressed by their bravery. Coupled with Hamblin's previous achievements, many logistics officers came to him and wanted Hamblin to be responsible for their material escort.

Hamblin readily agreed, and actually sent all the information he had gathered back to Terra Union through contact.

Modern warfare has a lot to do with supplies. Hamblin was very active in logistics and soon became friends with these logistics officers.

Because he had no background and was completely different from other officials of aristocratic origin, every faction tried to win him over.

This gave Hamblin plenty of opportunities to gather information.

He even made friends with several officials who were related to Kosice. These officials patted their chests one by one - as long as the war was over, Hamblin would surely rise to prominence.

Hamblin really wanted to see Kosice again.

But when this was mentioned, those who claimed to be very close to Kosice suddenly became dispirited.

The reason was simple: although the supply line seemed safe under Hamblin's control, the situation on the front line gradually became dangerous.

The advance of Kosice's army became very slow.

No...it can't even be described as slow, it would be more appropriate to say it's snail's pace.

The reason lies in the new tactics that the Terra Union has changed again.

After demonstrating two tactics, Kosice and Terra United have been countering each other's moves.

From the initial small-team combat, to the assembled advance, to the current dispersed advancement.

Kosice believes that he has been constantly adjusting the best tactical plan.

Unfortunately...his transformation speed could not keep up with Terra United's tactical adjustments.

After enduring the rocket attack, Kosice adjusted his formation to advance in a dispersed manner in the middle, with the warships on the wings and behind defending.

This is done during the day, and at night a large circle is constructed with the warships cruising on the periphery to avoid sudden bombardment to the greatest extent possible.

The night bombardment did disappear. But the day advance...

The Terra Union occupied the western part of Ursus, which was also an area with very fertile land.

Under Luo Chen's will, large-scale agricultural development was carried out here.

In particular, some prisoners who participated in the "reform through labor" held the idea of ​​"working until death". These prisoners helped to develop large tracts of land.

Coupled with the development of industry and the emergence of group farms, the Terra Union turned most of the wilderness that was worth developing into fields.

This leads to a question -

From time to time, a field would appear in the originally empty wilderness, accompanied by surrounding ridges.

There were even slopes of earth that were pushed aside to level the land.

Although Koschei's army had nine warships, they could not accommodate all the people, so most of the soldiers marched on foot.

That is, they line up in a long queue and move forward.

This is also to prevent shelling and cause large-scale casualties.

The idea is good, but it is not so simple to implement in practice.

The advancing Kosice army encountered a big problem - someone shot them from behind.

We were clearly moving forward normally, but suddenly there was a loud noise from somewhere, and then the brains of the comrades around us exploded.

Brain matter and blood were all over the ground, and the body fell to the ground, deader than dead.

When faced with this kind of attack, we naturally had no choice but to stop and inspect.

At this time, two situations will arise.

One is that the enemy who shot you coldly ran away, so you don't shoot anymore. But if you go to find him, you will most likely encounter mines and bombs.

The other possibility is that the person who fired the sniper shot did not leave and may even continue shooting to provoke.

It's even more impossible to go on like this.

Because according to the surviving soldiers, at this time, there are likely to be many other Terra Union soldiers squatting around, waiting for them to come and investigate.

As long as you go there, you will definitely die.

The best case scenario is that they win and drive the sniper away.

But if we march again, within ten minutes, the enemy will appear again and shoot us crazily.

These snipers are good at hiding, and this situation is making many soldiers miserable.

Whether you drive them away directly or ignore them, there will be casualties.

The Terra Union's cold-shooting operation lasted the whole morning, but the number of people killed was probably less than a fraction of the number killed in the bombing last night.

But the reaction of the Kosice army was direct - many soldiers simply did not want to leave.

They found that as long as they moved forward, someone would shoot them in the back.

In this case, it is better to just give up and go slowly.

What about the officer's orders? The impact of watching your comrades' heads explode next to you is not something that most people can endure.

Even though Kosice's officers ordered the soldiers to continue advancing, few responded.

After a whole morning, their army had only advanced a small distance.

If they continued at this pace, they wouldn't be able to reach Kamsk in a month, let alone draw out the enemy's main force.

Chapter 17: The Ridge is Talking [Reward ]

"The ridges of the fields are talking, the mounds of earth are talking, and the stones are talking too."

"If you're not careful, your companion's head will explode. It'll be like a rotten watermelon, with juice flying everywhere."

"We don't know what the talking stones are saying. All we can hear is gunshots, gunshots...and more gunshots."

"The bastard officer kept urging us to move forward, but he hid in the bulletproof car. We won't leave! Unless you can make these talking things shut up..."

"What a damn war..."

"Click——"

The recorder stopped playing.

"Grand Duke, this is the soldiers' reason." She Lin said, lowering his head slightly.

The progress was so slow that Kosice naturally knew about it immediately and then sent Snake Scale to investigate.

Now, the result is right in front of me.

This silent attack has filled the hearts of the soldiers participating in the attack with panic.

Everyone will die, but at least they should die clearly.

Being killed by a headshot for no apparent reason... No one can accept this kind of death.

Maybe it was your comrade who died before, but it could be you in the next second!

So, driven by a common desire to survive, many soldiers began to strike.

"Apart from this, is there any other reason?" Kosice asked in a deep voice.

"Well... it's not just sneak attacks on the marching route. The Kamsko gang also evacuated all the residents of the villages in the wilderness."

"All the villages we encountered were abandoned... and most of them had various traps inside."

Like most countries in this world, the military discipline of the Ursus army is really poor.

Even for the so-called group army and regular troops, burning, killing and looting are normal.

After all, the military pay is limited, and part of it is taken away by the superiors. These soldiers can only find ways to make some extra money on their own.

The officers turned a blind eye to this.

But not anymore.

The Terran Alliance had cleared the wilderness, leaving these soldiers with no places to plunder. Sometimes they would find a village and run over excitedly, only to be blown half to death by various traps and mines.

To some extent, this also greatly hit the morale of Kosice's troops.

"This war..." Kosice felt a little headache.

The longer he fought this war, the more he felt something was wrong.

The Terra Union's response was something he had never seen before, and it was no match for any army he had ever seen.

Kosice had a peculiar feeling - he seemed to be fighting against an army from another world.

"I taught Tallulah....a ruler must be dignified, serious, and earnest."

"Although I never taught her about the war, I urged her to read the history of Ursus and Victoria..."

"If she really reads carefully...she should be able to know how the real 'king' handles war."

War is a continuation of politics.

For Kosice, victory is something that must be pursued in war.

But if victory cannot increase the ruler's reputation and cannot make the ruled truly and completely submit... then what is the use of such a victory?
