Chapter 163 The wolf is here

dong dong dong-

The shrill sirens echoed in the No. 79 air-raid shelter.

As the captain of the 37th Company of the Airborne Division of the Royal Army stationed here, Kent woke up in his sleep.

alarm?

There was no mistake, he was not asleep, the panicked sound of the troublemaker was indeed the sound of the siren, and there was only one reason for the sound of the siren, that is, the air-raid shelter was attacked by an enemy.

"Damn!"

Kent hurriedly got up from the bed, before he even had time to put on his military boots, he rushed to the entrance of the air-raid shelter in a hurry.

When he came to see the air-raid shelter, he found that the entire company had assembled before him, so he grabbed a soldier in a panic and asked, "Soldier, tell me why the siren sounded. Is it an attack from the Imperial Army?"

"Report to the company commander, the imperial army launched a surprise attack just now..."

Hearing the soldier's report, Kent turned pale on the spot, because this is an air-raid shelter, and once the imperial army launches a surprise attack from the gate, it means that they have no way to retreat, and the only way is to fight to the death.

"Help! Release the signal for help immediately."

Kent had a flash of inspiration. He realized that the most urgent task is to release the signal for help. As long as the signal for help is released, the troops in charge of reinforcements can arrive within 20 minutes, which means that they still have a chance of survival as long as they last for 20 minutes.

"The signal for help was released when the enemy launched a surprise attack."

The deputy company commander pushed aside the crowd, came to Kent and said, "But the problem is..."

Hearing the word question, Kent thumped in his heart: "Could it be that there are so many imperial soldiers that we can't even last for 20 minutes. The deputy company commander, please report the current casualties immediately."

"It's... just the opposite."

A hint of suspicion flashed across the deputy company commander's face: "The imperial army's assault force seems to have less than 15 people, and it has disappeared now. As for our casualties, we only lost one soldier."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Kent took a long breath: "It's probably just the stupid imperial army testing the strength here. It shouldn't be a big problem. You release the signal flares again and tell the reinforcements not to come. By the way, the security personnel will be doubled tonight."

"Yes, Captain."

The deputy company commander nodded, and then made the arrangement according to Kent's request.

Although Kent was afraid that the imperial army would send a large force to attack after the test, he could not leave his post without permission. Even if he knew he was dead, he would still have to perform the garrison mission. Even if the imperial army rushed in, he would be responsible for pestering the imperial army. , Waiting for the reinforcements to wipe out the Imperial Army.

With uneasiness.

Kent went back to bed, this time dressed and put away his army boots in case something happened.

Closing his eyes, Kent couldn't sleep peacefully, because he had some uneasiness in his heart. He didn't know where the uneasiness came from, but he knew that nothing good would happen next.

why?
As a veteran over the age of 35, his premonition of war is especially effective.

But it turned out that his premonition was not wrong. Half an hour later, the siren sounded again. This time he was the first to rush to the gate of the air-raid shelter, and saw the three corpses lying on the ground at first sight.

The three soldiers died in the same way, they were all pierced through their throats by crossbow arrows.

As for the only survivor, after sounding the alarm and releasing the signal for help, he shivered in the corner, his eyes full of fear and anxiety.

"Tell me what happened?"

Kent picked up the other party's collar and asked loudly.

The frightened soldier came back to his senses and said: "Report to the company commander, just now, the imperial army launched another surprise attack. They used crossbows to fight at a distance, and caught us by surprise."

"Another temptation? No!"

Kent immediately denied it himself: "Could it be that the imperial army is using the new tactics of the imperial army mentioned in the last meeting of low-level officers of the whole army, the tactics of disturbing the enemy?"

Harass the enemy, then strike suddenly.

This tactic of combining fiction and reality is the most feared tactic of the Royal Army recently. Fortunately, this tactic seems to have been encountered only once in the central area.

Originally, Kent was quite disdainful of the words of the 3rd Brigade.

If you lose, you lose. Why bother to myth the imperial army? This is not to disturb the morale of the army, but Kent didn't know what disgusting was until today when he encountered this kind of tactics.

Defend, Imperials use dirty tricks.

If you don't defend, the imperial army might just attack directly.

What's even more helpless is that according to the previous meeting, the Royal Army's divisional staff did not seem to have come up with any way to deal with the current harassment tactics. The only limited way is to join forces and concentrate on defense.

But the problem is that once the defense is concentrated, it means giving up control of the air-raid shelter.

With nothing to do, Kent could only continue to stick to the line of defense obediently, and passively suffered endless harassment from the Imperial Army, and this harassment lasted a whole day and night.

Staring at the blood-red eyes, Kent now doubts that the soldiers of the Imperial Army don't need to rest?
24 hours a day, random harassment at random times, once because they ignored it directly, and even the imperial army broke through the gate of the air-raid shelter before they reacted.

And this situation is not an exception.

In each air-raid shelter, the Imperial Army has more than 70 people responsible for 24-hour uninterrupted scramble warfare, and scramble warfare is one of the sub-tactics derived from guerrilla tactics. This tactic is mainly to fight against the garrison troops, and the results are naturally obvious. .

The time came to the evening of the second day.

It was not the troops stationed in the air-raid shelter that collapsed first, but the large-scale support troops responsible for reinforcing the air-raid shelter. Their task was to organize troops to rescue immediately after receiving a signal for help.

But the problem is that there are distress calls going up at every moment for nearly 36 hours.

Restricted by orders, they can only run here and there, and often only halfway through the run, the friendly army sends a safety signal to indicate that their reinforcements are no longer needed, which made the reinforcements suspect that they were being played.

And the story of "Wolf is coming" is not only applicable to the earth, it is also common in this other world. Now the exhausted reinforcements have turned a blind eye to the one after another help signal, and they just want to take a good rest at the moment.

"Report."

The door of the Imperial Army's temporary combat headquarters was pushed open, and a scout said to Vega who was sitting on the main seat: "According to the latest news, the Royal Army's reinforcement troops have begun to ignore any calls for help."

A bright smile appeared on the corner of Veigar's mouth.

He stood up and looked at the generals with black eyes and said: "Since the Royal Army is unwilling to give up control of the air-raid shelter, I think the time is ripe now. Next, I need to use the remaining 1500 troops to give the Royal Army a miserable blow." Lesson learned, please raise your hands for authorization."
