We are in Terra and there is no book to read.

"Damn it! How could Sakaz enter the city to fight!"

While Harold was thinking hard, Duke Stafford came over.

"The changes in things have exceeded our expectations. Sakaz is now going to surround us. Our troops attacking the east side of the city are too prominent. Do we need to retreat?"

"Then the city we worked so hard to conquer will be thrown back, right?"

Harold stared at the map, but his frown suddenly relaxed, and there was even a smile on his lips.

"Aren't we always having a headache with the trenches dug by Sakaz? Now that they have taken the initiative to leave there to fight with us, we might as well just fight them once."

"How to fight?"

Duke Stafford was a little confused, but Harold explained with a smile.

"Of course it depends on the person, the signal troop sent the order! Fight back against Sakaz's attack! The ballista unit can be trained in half a year...or even three months. It's only a few divisions, even if I'm gone I don’t feel bad at all, I just want to see how long it will take to replenish Kazdale’s division if it falls.”

Eureka State is extremely lively right now. The Sakaz mixed forces and Victoria soldiers are fighting to the death in this ruins.

A large number of resting Victoria troops received combat missions, requiring them to enter to support the battle.

A company of Victorian infantry was advancing rapidly on the street, but from time to time someone screamed in pain and touched his face in confusion, only to find that he had been cut.

I couldn't figure out the reason, and the military order was urgent, so the soldiers didn't pay much attention. But suddenly the blood seemed to be alive, crawling out of the tiny wound on its own, covering everything like a facial mask. people's faces.

"Well--"

Amid desperate cries, an entire infantry company of more than 100 people fell down, and four blood demons and a banshee came out of the shadow of the building. This was the work of their joint collaboration.

"How's it going? Are they all dead?"

"Dead, let's change places."

The voices of the blood demons sounded a bit muffled. That was because they were all required to wear breathing filters to reduce the impact of blood on the minds of the blood demons.

After the victory, the members of the task force were about to leave, but what was surprising was that they had just walked through a street when they ran into a new Victoria infantry unit.

After the loud noise of the ballistae, members of the task force team walked out of the street, but there were only three of them.

In another part of the city, a Sakaz infantry squad was searching and advancing, but suddenly around a corner, a film leaned out.He aimed the ballista in his hand at Sakaz, who was not far away, and then pulled the trigger.

After a loud noise, the two Sakaz warriors fell down on the spot.

In the high-rise building on the other side of the road, several films were firing wildly at the people downstairs, and Sakaz downstairs also took advantage of Victoria's firepower to shoot upwards, and they picked up a few Victoria's ballistae.

They occupied the first floor and are now attacking the second floor.

In the regiment headquarters, Albert, the commander of the third regiment of the [-]st Experimental Division, looked at the report in his hand with complicated emotions. This was a report sent back from the front line.Front-line officers said that they achieved their operational objectives perfectly and advanced one kilometer in the urban area in half an hour.

But in just this half hour, hundreds of people from the Sakaz infantry unit alone were killed, and one company had lost the ability to continue fighting.

Chapter 248 Sakaz: I don’t want to play anymore, give me back!

Street fighting is completely different from conventional field fighting.

In the field, officers can easily confirm the situation of the entire front. Whether it is offensive or defensive, they can coordinate the entire unit immediately and maintain the structure of the front.

The city is full of buildings, and it is extremely difficult for troops to look after each other, and every building can become a defensive support point. In this case, there will be a problem in the attack.

confusion.

Combat troops have their own deployment width, and both offense and defense are coordinated within this width.However, in the urban area, most of the soldiers could not see their friendly troops. They were all forcibly separated by the buildings.

Albert set an attack distance of two kilometers for his men in one hour. However, no matter how clear the description was, in actual combat, some attacking units may be blocked by a building at a distance of 1.5 kilometers. Some troops were lucky enough not to encounter any strong enemies, but accidentally hit a position 2.2 kilometers away.

The urban area of ​​Eureka is now in ruins. Not to mention the Sakaz who just came here, the Carters who live here sometimes get lost.

In this way, a large gap is formed between the disjointed troops. If they are hit by any troops that happen to be lost, it will be great fun.

These situations not only happened to Sakaz, the Victorians were also troubled by the same problems, and the enemy and ourselves were completely mixed together.

At the same time, the competition for buildings in the urban area also made the troops' combat missions a mess.Some attacking units found themselves on the defensive as the enemy lost ground and began trying to regain it.While the defensive troops were guarding the flank position, their superiors suddenly sent an order saying that an enemy force suddenly appeared in their own area and occupied some important position, and they wanted to take it back.

All kinds of questions came together, and Albert felt like his head was going to explode.The frontline officers and soldiers only need to think about how to fight, while he has to deal with the affairs of the entire regiment.

How to transport wounded soldiers back and how to send supplies? These logistical problems are really disappointing.

The officers and soldiers transporting the troops were carrying supplies, looking at the ruins of the city and the simple maps in their hands, they could only spread their hands.

Who knows where the troops requesting supplies are!

And the troops who ran out of arrows could only abandon the position they had just captured and request a retreat. They couldn't hold their position without ammunition, right?

Although Sakaz has the advantage of physical fitness, the ballista in the hand of the Victorian does not turn into a fire stick when he is close. When fighting in a building, it is really fast and accurate without worrying about accidentally injuring friendly troops.

All kinds of problems came together, but in the end, the task force, which was a mixture of Sakaz infantry, Rembiton task force, Hedley mercenary group and Carters, arrived at 4 o'clock in the morning. Designate a position and switch to defense on the spot.

Victoria's troops suddenly fell into a situation where they were attacked on three sides.

The goal is achieved, but what’s the cost?

Taking the casualty report that his subordinates had just tallied, Albert prepared to report to Division Commander Manteuffel, but found that he could not hold the radio communicator firmly.

There were three battalions under his regiment. Except for one battalion, which established a defensive position on the western outskirts of Eureka city, it served as a support point to prevent the Victorians from detouring and not participating in urban combat. The heads of two battalions plunged into the middle of the buildings.

At the beginning of the battle, they were all at full strength, but now... 55% of the combatants of the first battalion were killed, and 35% of the combatants of the second battalion were killed.

A total of more than 300 people were lost, not counting the wounded.

These soldiers have been trained for several years and are experienced soldiers who have come from the Casimir War and the Leitania War!

Taking the casualty report, Albert couldn't help but think that it would be nice if these two battalions were all new recruits.Veterans will fight with casualties, while new recruits will be afraid that they will withdraw from the combat sequence early. In that case, the losses will not be as great as they are now.

After holding the communicator in silence for a while, Albert finally connected to the communication with Manteuffel.

"Teacher, I..."

"How many people died?"

The person on the other side asked, and the deep voice seemed to have some premonition.

"There are 316 people, and there are still many wounded soldiers. My troops may have lost their combat capabilities. Please...replace the combat troops."

"I can't do this. I can only allocate two companies to you. The additional troops that will come in the future will be sent to you first."

Upon hearing this, Albert quickly said: "Division Commander, with the current state of our unit, there is really no way we can carry out combat missions anymore."

"Don't worry, there is no offensive mission anymore, all we have to do next is defense."

Manteuffel hung up the communication with an ugly expression. He finally understood why the battle plan entrusted to him by His Majesty required that the Victoria troops be surrounded on three sides and forced to retreat, instead of closing the encirclement to carry out encirclement and annihilation operations.

'If you bite this bite, your teeth will break! '

Manteuffel put down the number of casualties of the three regiments and put them aside. There was another record next to him, which belonged to the Rem Billiton Task Force.

The task force dispatched 150 people last night, and 19 people were killed.

In Kazdaele, the infantry part of the Second Experimental Division has been formed. If the First Division needs additional troops, they can be transferred from there. However, in order to avoid entering a vicious cycle of insufficient training and losses, we have to wait half a month for them to complete the basic training. Training can draw attention.

It takes half a month for the infantry to be replaced, but what about the task force?How many years do you need to wait?Or ten years?

In addition to these, Hedley's mercenary group also suffered certain losses, but they were surrounded by Carters, and the large number of Carters withstood the first attack of the Victorias.

The mercenaries lost more than 100 people. As for Carters, they killed the same number of enemies as tonight, and there is no statistics yet.

Too many and too messy.

'Although they can't fight, they do a really good job of attracting firepower! '

After looking at everything, Manteuffel helplessly praised the Carters. After all, without their bodies to block the swords, Sarkaz's casualties would have been even greater.

He covered his face with his painful hands and ordered: "Report the situation here to His Majesty."

.........

At the headquarters of the Victoria Force, Harold almost gasped when he saw the casualty report of his own side.

Tonight, a total of three Victoria Infantry Divisions took turns to attack, and even the Storm Commandos participated. However, the casualty rate of the infantry divisions participating in the battle still reached more than 30%, every one of them.

If all losses are added together, a standard infantry division of 1.5 people has been defeated by the Sakaz.

"These demons are really ferocious."

Harold stood in front of the signal soldier and waited. The situation here was being transmitted to Londinium, and he had to wait for a reply as soon as possible.

I don’t know what the attitude of the parliament is, but he should have dealt a heavy blow to Sakaz tonight. If the parliament does not object, then replace it with a new infantry division and continue!

And during the day, Victoria's artillery can be used, which gives them an even greater advantage.

Chapter 249 Artillery bombardment, the infantry charged after the artillery bombardment

The Victorian Parliament has maintained a high-profile focus on a series of recent changes at Rem Billiton.They didn't expect that Sakaz would actually intervene, and what they didn't expect was that Usas would also rush up and bite them as if he hadn't taken any medicine.

There are several opinions within the parliament about the actions of Ursus and Kazdaele that are causing trouble for them.

One person believes that Ursus was the mastermind and Kazdaele was just following Ursus' instructions.Then there is no need to transport military supplies all the way to Rem Billiton. They only need to drive back the crazy Ursus, and then Kazdaele will naturally leave Rem Billiton honestly.

Another person believes that this was decided by Ursus and Kazdel together, and there is no priority.Sakaz already has a unique advantage in the purification of source stones. Once he helps Rem Billiton make good friends with Carters independently, Rem Billiton's ore can complement Kazdaele and export high-purity source stones. Make money hard.

In addition to the dominance of these two voices, there is also a more rare view.

Do those people think that Kazdel is controlling it?

After all, Victoria has really not done anything bad to Ursus recently, and all her thoughts are on competing with Colombia.Kazdel has actually been in contact with Rem Billiton a long time ago. As soon as Sakaz made any noise at Rem Billiton recently, Ursus also followed suit, making it impossible for them to really Project power to Rem Billiton.

As soon as this view was put forward, it was opposed by all MPs.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! If those Sakaz, who are intoxicated with their own power, had such brains, we would have been the ones who lost thousands of years ago! We are the ones huddled in the desert."

The Unicorn Speaker also felt that the third guess was a bit outrageous.Even though Sakaz has made some changes in the past few years, it has not yet reached the point where he has to do all these chores.

"It doesn't matter what Sakaz's motives are. Now they are really interfering in Rem Billiton's affairs. Should we consume Sakaz as General Harold envisioned, or should we directly repel them? Woolen cloth?"

The Unicorn Speaker's voice was particularly prominent in the large conference hall. The members deliberated for a while and gave an answer.

"We thought it would be better to consume Sakaz."

This result is a bit beyond the speaker's estimate. These congressmen should choose the plan with the least cost.

He was a little curious, "Why?"

"Your Excellency Speaker, we are currently most likely to be isolated by Terra."

A congressman stood up and explained: "We are already at odds with Colombia, and Ursus is against us. The only country in the east of Terra that can communicate with us normally is Yanguo."

"But Sakaz is currently in close contact with Ursus and Yan Kingdom. According to reports from our informants in Ursus and Yan Kingdom, Sakaz is thinking of ways to build a logistics line covering eastern Terra, and has already obtained The support of Chernobog, Longmen, and Syracuse. Once Sakaz’s goal is achieved, common interests will be formed between the three countries, and then Victoria’s stance of excluding Victoria is likely to affect the Yan Kingdom.”

"The winner of the population strength competition in Rem Billiton will definitely be us. We can fill it with 20 people, or even 30 people, but Sakaz doesn't know if he has the courage. Once they can't bear it, At that time, we can negotiate with Sakaz when they can no longer bear it, and take this opportunity to get involved in the construction of Kazdaele's logistics lines. The way to ruin Kazdaele's plan is undoubtedly to join it, and we will do it while destroying it. There are many options, such as finding ways to appropriate their upfront investment.”

Listening to the parliamentarian's explanation, the speaker nodded in approval. Victoria had actually had Sakaz's current plan but had not succeeded.

Now seeing his arch-rival working out his failed plan in such a dramatic way, he could wake up in anger and curse in the middle of the night.

.........

After waiting behind the messenger for a long time, Harold finally got a response from Londinium. The message from the parliament was very simple, just two words.

'agree. '

Harold immediately dispatched two new infantry divisions into urban Eureka to prepare for battle with Sakaz.But at this time, something happened that made the Victorians feel something was wrong.

Sakaz stopped fighting, and they sat down to set up defense.

This makes the people of Victoria really confused. You are surrounding me on three sides, why don’t you fight?

One morning, Eureka State became strangely quiet. Both Sakaz and the Victorians thought that the other side would launch an attack, but the other side never made any move.

Harold, who believed that he had the numerical advantage, could not stand it any longer. He ordered the troops in Eureka to launch a fierce attack on Sarkaz.

The explosions of artillery fire and the fighting sounds of soldiers once again resounded throughout the city, but the Victorians were shocked to find that Sakaz was gone and could not be seen!The battlefield is full of Carters!

After last night's battle, Sakaz's troops were indeed seriously injured, so Albert carried out Manteuffel's orders extremely strictly.

He asked his men that unless Carters laid down something, Sakaz's soldiers would never adjust their positions!

The task of supporting Carters' operations was completely transferred to the artillery.The artillerymen also happily accepted this task, because they are different here.

The Sakaz Artillery was the first Kazdaele regular force to enter the city of Eureka. When they arrived, they were warmly welcomed by the Carters. They didn't know what caliber and power they had. They only knew about the Victoria bomb. Their cannons are now available to me too!And there are people supporting them, they are not alone!

Looking at the surrounding ruins, the artillery regiment leader proposed using the building materials here to build gun emplacement bunkers so that they could continue to fire despite Victoria's suppression.

Upon hearing this, the Carters immediately gave up all their houses that seemed to be intact, allowing Sakaz's artillery to choose.Then he personally used a hammer to cut holes in the wall to help Sakaz strengthen the wall.

Perhaps touched by the sincere and persistent emotions of the Carters, the commander of the artillery regiment taught them the simplest fighting method in Kazdaele Military Academy.
