War sets the planet on fire,

set her ablaze,

There was a cry in my ears,

It seemed to hear her crying.

·
as far as the eye can see,
All were burning ruins and charred corpses.

Air Force brothers' bombing operations are too powerful,
The new type of ground penetrating bombs destroyed the solid fortifications,
The ten-meter-thick concrete layer was pierced with big holes, and the steel plates were like paper.

Numerous heavy artillery and missile launchers were destroyed in ground bunkers and underground fortifications.

A revolutionary tactic is quietly changing the face of space warfare. In this campaign, the drone swarm sweeping tactic has won a complete victory.

Perhaps, in the future, there will be no life on the battlefield.

Both the marines and the starship pilots will withdraw from the battlefield, leaving a group of robot AI to fight each other.

Most of the traps and mines deployed by the enemy were detected by the AI ​​and destroyed and detonated by the drones. Thanks to this, the first day of landing operations went smoothly.

The marines are also prepared, equipped with weapons and armor tailored to the characteristics of the enemy,
Our Spartan heavy infantry company is a model leader among them,

Fully utilized the advantages of physical fitness, firepower and defense.

As of 16:11 local time, the commander-in-chief announced the perfect conclusion of the first phase of the D plan.

At 16:15, the Chief of Staff sent a congratulatory message,

There was cheering on the battlefield, and champagne must have been drinking in the captain's cabin.

Being on the front line, I know very well that I must not be blinded by temporary victories,
I found that the bottom of the captured fortress had tunnels that had just been filled.

The enemy has built a huge network of underground passages,

In order to cope with the expansion of human beings, the Tadarin people have already hired alien engineers to develop underground factories and cultivate fungi crops that do not require light. Now, death is falling from the sky, and all these facilities have come in handy.

The veterans in the company said that the enemy is good at protracted warfare and is preparing to drag us into the quagmire of war.

Just like the previous battle on the planet Mills, the locals fought a guerrilla for five years. Humans found that the benefits of the war were far less than the price they were about to pay, so they withdrew from the endless security war and gave up colonizing that planet.

Walking in the ruins and rubble, the surrounding scene is like an apocalyptic movie,
I found a dozen company brothers who landed scattered,
Everyone's armor was battered and battered,

Some unlucky private landed in the cesspit of a Tal'darin digester, and the smell was so pungent that we cranked up the air filter to the max.

In the following time, we went around to rescue the brothers and sisters who were alone. Most of the troops were not equipped with heavy armor like us, and suffered much more casualties. In order to prevent the enemy from taking the corpses for research,
After recovering the soldiers' dog tags, we dug a hole with a sapper shovel, poured fuel on it, and burned the corpses on the spot.

After these days of fighting,

I'm pretty sure the enemy is conserving their strength, and they're sending out poorly trained and poorly equipped militia units,

When we got in touch with the headquarters, we got the good news that the First Army has gained a firm foothold on the Tadarim home planet.

Scattered troops gathered, engineers began mine clearance operations,
Bulldozers cleared the ground to create an improvised front airfield.

Soon after,

Equipment such as tanks, armored vehicles, and quadruped combat robots will arrive one after another.

Due to the performance of annihilating an entire Tadarim militia squad alone and rescuing friendly troops,
I, a recruit who has only been in the army for one year, was promoted to corporal in an exceptional way.

My comrades told me that Captain Johnny Blazer, the company commander, intends to present me with epaulettes and medals himself.

The veterans patted me on the shoulder and said, this is a great honor.

·
Our Captain Johnny Blazer is a legend,

He is not much older than me, but he has made great achievements repeatedly,
The medals inlaid on his nano-ceramic steel breastplate are so dazzling that it is almost impossible to let go.

This man's resume is quite astonishing,
Participated in 21 large-scale battles, killed 551 alien militants, destroyed 115 armed vehicles, and even entered the enemy's cockpit in a battleship battle, capturing a pirate cruiser.

Captain Johnny Blazer took all the honors a Marine could get,
Compared with this great achievement, the company commander's usual image is a particularly inconspicuous playboy,

He has three hobbies in his life;

Pretty women, cold whiskey, big cigars.

Other than that, he spends all his time fighting,

After the last battle, he was injured and couldn't wait to apply to enter the next battlefield.
In the war-torn galaxy, there are ten gongs, and there are nine places.

He does not seek fame and fortune, has always retained the rank of captain, and refused to be promoted to be a senior commander who sits in an office.

Fascinated by the cruel battlefield, he often disobeyed orders and made some crazy actions of individual raids. If he hadn't made outstanding achievements repeatedly, he would have been expelled long ago.

The marshals and generals of the Terra Federation loved and hated him. Senator Earl Spacey unabashedly commented that he was a lunatic,

Indulging in killing can't help but look like a barbarian, making human diplomats a laughingstock in the Covenant.

The soldiers loved him and gave him a vulgar nickname,
Called "Mad Johnny".

Johnny Blazer enjoyed it very much. He specially shaved his thick chest hair, went to a tattoo parlor, and tattooed this nickname on his chest.
Every time he gets drunk in a tavern, he lifts up his jacket and brags with the ladies, and the nickname spreads.

The entire Spartan company was assembled when my ranks and decorations were presented.

To my great bewilderment, Captain Johnny Blazer still had a burning cigar in his helmet.
The smoke gathered in the mask, like a cloud, and it was almost impossible to see his unshaven face clearly.

I'm very puzzled, doesn't this guy feel choked up?

The answer is really choking panic,

Mad Dog Johnny opened his mask and began to cough, cursing that the newly bought cigars were not authentic,

Then he patted me on the shoulder and said:

"Marcus Lynch, right?

The lad has a future and is acting like a veteran for the first time on the battlefield.

To be honest, when I first saw the list of recommended recruits, I was still wondering,
Why is the guy ranked No.1 so unlucky with his surname?

I'm sorry, brother, I didn't mean it to you, I'm just so straightforward when I speak. "

I listened to him calmly at the time, and of course I wouldn't get angry because what Johnny stated was the truth.
Lynch
Lynch,

An unknown surname inherited from the dark ages of the Middle Ages, meaning the king's executioner,
The execution of a person deemed guilty by lynching, usually by hanging.

That's right, my family's ancestors did the kind of executioner's job of beheading people.

Being able to know these unpopular knowledge shows that Johnny has considerable knowledge,
In addition to killing, this guy also reads books and listens to classical music.
