Chapter 73 73 Scream"A garrison on the frontier can't get in touch with the 3 battalion... According to the pre-set plan, they Retreat." A liaison officer looked at the general in front of him and started reporting.
Bourgeois frowned looking at the map in front of him, and what he thought in his mind was what kind of existence was an enemy who could eat a battalion of his own in one bite.
Under the premise of not knowing where the enemy is attacking, it is a more reasonable response to disperse your own troops and deploy along the border. After all, Alanhill's troop combat capability is very strong. It is estimated that tens of thousands of people will be needed to defeat a battalion of Alanhill in one breath.
"A messenger from the Prairie Empire has come and said that he has brought very important news." An officer walked into Bourgeois' headquarters, clenched his right hand and pressed his chest to report: " He is very embarrassed!"
"Let him in!" After thinking about it, Bourgeois felt that he should meet the friendly messenger who sent the message.
As a result, the man fell weakly on one-knee kneels as soon as he entered the door. He stood up after being supported, gasping for breath and crying: "We met the Dragon Knight of the Holy Demon Emperor. There were about 10 giant dragons! 3,000 people! I was the only one who ran out!"
In fact, he didn't run out, he was hiding under the corpse, and when the other party flew away, I just found a horse and ran back - the other party seems to have more important things to do, so this grassland cavalry can arrive in Malicha before the other party's giant dragon.
"Dragon Knight...Damn it! Go and contact the 16th Regiment headquarters so they don't have to go to the 3rd Battalion... Maybe they've already been attacked." Bourgeois was a little irritable Said to his subordinates: "They don't have anti-aircraft firepower, I guess bode ill rather than well?"
"Let the 16th regiment shrink its defense line! Move closer to Maricha as soon as possible!" If the Holy Demon Emperor fights back, he will lose some troops. But he didn't expect that the opponent's counterattack was so fierce that he lost a battalion of troops all at once.
Maybe, the 16th regiment will suffer heavy losses and lose 1,000 people or more. Bourgeois glanced at the map hanging on the wall again and said, "Telegram! Contact General Wilkes... We need reinforcements!"
"Wait!" After he instructed , stopped the adjutant who was going to send the order, and revised his order: "Send a telegram to Serris first! Tell Your Majesty that the Holy Demon Emperor has already participated in the war! At least 10 Dragon Knights! Our real trouble is here! "
paused, he continued to order: "Then, send a telegram to General Wilkes and ask him to send reinforcements! We don't want infantry! We want anti-aircraft artillery units!"
As the one by one command was passed, rows of soldiers in red uniforms ran up the ancient city wall. Their uniforms stand out in the sun, and their clothes look more pleasing than those of the troopers.
These soldiers in red uniforms also wear steel helmets on their heads, but they are not equipped with Mauser 98K rifles, just a short pistol around the waist. By the time these soldiers ran up the city, the Alanhill Grenadiers on the city wall had already assembled.
"hua!" Several air defense soldiers in red uniforms tore apart the tightly wrapped 30mm caliber high-level dual-purpose cannon, and the metal gun body with iron was added to reflect in the sunlight. A light that one cannot look directly at.
"The enemy may arrive at any time! All the soldiers are ready to fight!" The officer commanding the anti-aircraft gun pressed the long sword on his waist and commanded his men. Following his orders, the artillerymen took the seats on either side of the anti-aircraft guns and began to shake the handles beside them.
As they turned quickly, the slender gun body lifted up a little bit, and the icy gun barrel pointed to the clear sky. Several loaders took out the huge magazines from the carts beside them, and inserted the magazines into the barrels of the anti-aircraft guns.
Behind the city wall, on the commanding heights of the towering city, the soldiers responsible for the lookout have set up huge telescopes. These telescopes are responsible for monitoring the entire sky. No matter which direction the enemy rushes from, they can Discover targets within immediately.
Besides them, the flag bearers who are ready are all in place, and they are responsible for showing the flags in their hands to indicate the direction of the enemy's attack. There are soldiers on the top of the city who are always watching the flags on the commanding heights. Through such a stupid method, the entire Malicha has completed a simple air defense security network.
"I hope our anti-aircraft guns can really kill those goddamn giant dragons!" Standing in the air defense headquarters specially set up by him, Bourges pressed his sword nervously, looking towards him from time to time. some direction outside the window.
The field of vision here is very good, almost half of the city can be seen, if the battle is unfolding on the other side, then he only needs to go up one floor to see the opposite direction. Originally built for enjoyment by the City Lord, it has now become a favorite temporary headquarters of Bourgeois.
"All the heavy machine guns have been deployed! They are responsible for covering the anti-aircraft guns! We don't know how much damage the machine gun bullets can do to the giant dragon, but this is the strongest we can come up with. Anti-aircraft fire." With his hands behind his back, an Air Force commander in a red uniform reported the latest air defense deployment to Bourgess.
"All the infantry have also been on the city wall... They will keep firing, and our ammunition is very sufficient." The infantry commander of the 6th regiment said firmly: "We will fight to the end. A moment! If the battle breaks out, I will immediately rush to the front of the city to personally command the infantry fighting there."
"The two garrison regiments on the side have been ordered to retreat, they have no anti-aircraft firepower and can easily be attacked by the other side. Suppression." Bourgeois's adjutant opened his mouth to report the movements of the garrison in the other direction.
Because these garrison groups were not equipped with heavy weapons, they didn't even have the qualifications to participate in the war. They could only leave the flank of the city of Maricha and retreat to a safe place to stand by in humiliation.
But they are not useless at all: maybe when the Arrant Empire comes to attack the city, they can secure the side and rear of Mariza so that the whole city is not completely surrounded.
"There is news from the 16th regiment. The 1st battalion was also attacked by the giant dragon. The opponent was obviously coming at us and didn't clean the battlefield..." An officer rushed in anxiously. After going to the headquarters, he pressed the message just sent on the table, and said gasping for breath.
"The 3rd Battalion of the 16th Regiment is estimated to be completely wiped out, and the 1st Battalion is similar. Because it is a garrison regiment, the loss of heavy weapons is not much, but at least 700 guns are lost, which is very serious. One failed." The officer in charge of the quarters complained with a bitter expression on his face.
You know, in the early days, it was not easy to get these 700 guns together. At that time, everyone used wooden models for training, but now, a battle is lost. With a real 700 rifles, it hurts to think about it.
Even now, a batch of rifles is not cheap, including bullets and grenades, this batch of munitions is already very expensive. Modern warfare is not only about industrial foundation, but also countless money...
"Woo..." The horn was blown abruptly, and Bourgeois did not care to look at those losses. The report, went to the window, saw the distance in the sky, the small black dots gathered into a piece.
"Come on!" He clenched his fists, stared at the gradually approaching black silhouettes, and cheered himself up in his heart: The most brilliant time in his life is probably now! Standing in front of so many giant dragons, even if you die in battle, is worth it!
"Gentlemen! Alanhill is at our feet! We're fighting not just for ourselves, but for trusting our Your Majesty!"
"For Alanhill!" Inside the Command , everyone clenched their fists with their right hands and pressed them against their chests.
"For the sake of mortals, we can face everything with confidence in the future! For mortals to stand up and treat ourselves as human beings! For us poor mortals! We have to fight! We are not afraid of sacrifice! Your Majesty gave The courage and weapons we stand in front of the giant dragon! We are not afraid of sacrifice! Because we have to prove that mortals will never be slaves!" Bourgeois pushed open the window in front of him and looked at the Dragon Knights whose outlines were already clearly visible. Shout out the window.
"Mortals will never be slaves!" The soldiers standing in the city raised their arms and responded loudly to this cry. The soldiers standing on the city wall also raised their arms and shouted to the sky.
The anti-aircraft soldiers sitting on the anti-aircraft guns are already ready to fight. They point their guns in the direction where the giant dragon is coming. The gunners have pressed their fingers on the trigger to fire, just waiting. The commander in charge of the observation gave the order to fire.
They've put the giant dragon in the center of the circular sight, and they're all set. They want to make the first cry for mortals, and they want to fight to the end for their dignity.
Suddenly, the grenadiers, who had already carried their rifles around them, let out a wave of shouts: "Mortals will never be slaves!" Cry from the bottom of my heart.
The sound flew into the wind, causing the Dragon Knights who had approached the city wall of Maricha to frown. The thing they are most worried about has already happened. The mortals are trying to destroy the rule of the Holy Demon Emperor. This is a disaster they cannot accept.
"Never be a slave? Then go to die!" Hearing the shouts on the city wall reaching into the sky, Ildo, who was riding on the back of the dragon, had cold eyes and said lightly.
Then, the Knight Captain raised his arms, made a random attacking gesture to all Dragon Knights, and slashed forward with a press forward imposing manner: "Kill. !”
