Longmen Memoirs

If they could be given more time to train, if they could also be equipped with light artillery, if they could have twice as many manpower.

Will more soldiers survive? Will they not have to fight as hard and miserable as now?

The sniper doesn't know, but he knows there are no ifs in this world.

He knew that he voluntarily chose to join their battle. This was his first time as a commander, and he finally discovered that he was not really suitable for this position.

Because he is not as cruel and insidious as a snake, because his former captain was full of unknown joys and sorrows.

Chapter 1: Not to me, to yourself

[This is the first advance team, it has been confirmed that the enemy infected commander has been killed, and we are waiting for follow-up instructions...]

[The command center has received it. Please confirm your current location and move closer to the second advance team. The second advance team will take over your battlefield tasks. 】

[The first advance team received it and began to move to the location of the second advance team. 】

Chen Mo put down the communicator.

Wearing a black Ursus military uniform, he began to move closer to the position of Ursus' second advance team.

The time is 18:15 pm on the 50th

The distress signal from the Ursus support force disrupted the original deployment of the Kosher Corps. After losing the artillery support from the naval guns and artillery positions, the shield guards withstood the frontal impact of the two battalions of the Ursus Corps.

The battle continues.

The gloomy sky seemed to have arrived early in the evening, and the repair work of the warships was still continuing. The distress signal from the supporting troops was beyond the expectations of the commander of the Kosher Division.

After losing the artillery position, they were temporarily unable to provide long-range fire support to the supporting troops. In the face of a group of infected people, the forward troops who lost one battalion after losing the artillery troops had obviously surpassed the Kosher Division. The range of losses that the regiment can bear, and if the severely damaged warships are included, after this battle, even if they can eliminate this group of infected people, their losses will be far greater than the original tactical purpose.

It was just a matter of time to eliminate the shield guards. The Ursus commander quickly judged the current situation. They could not continue to lose another forward battalion.

"Let them hold on, damn, where did these infected people get these equipment."

Colonel Chmerkov, commander of Ursus and commander of the Kosher Division, angrily threw the command whip in his hand on the combat map.

"This group of infected people is not ordinary, Colonel. It's obvious that we underestimated the enemy this time. It seems that there is a quite extraordinary commander hidden among the infected people."

"Infected? You told me that a group of infected can fight to this extent. The two forward heavy-armed battalions haven't taken down the group of rebels. We lost the entire artillery position, so I was forced to move the headquarters from the warship to this Location." The commander of the Kosher Division stared at his staff officer with cold eyes.

The nephew of Archduke Vanya, the former Chief of Staff of the Fourth Group, a military upstart who inherited the political legacy left by Archduke Vanya after he was assassinated in Songqin Sanatorium.

His division chief of staff, Ikarev Romanyevich Vanya, a notorious fence-sitter and former Ursus military and political conservative who later turned to the reformists led by the new emperor and parliament, heard that he The family and territory are actively promoting the development of new industries and moving closer to the emerging nobility.

In a word, the emperor's dog is not worthy of trust.

"If we continue to suffer losses like this, you and I will have to go to court-martial when we go back!"

"Calm down, Colonel, you are also from a noble family, you should pay attention to your self-discipline." The staff officer smiled and waved: "Serviceman... I have some new tea that my friends here just got from the Yan Kingdom. Would you like to try it? "

"How dare I! You should keep it for yourself, Staff Officer Ika!" The division leader turned around, unwilling to face the disgusting smile on the fox's face again.

Looking at the division commander who had his back turned to him, the staff officer sat down again. Soon after, the serviceman brought the brewed tea leaves. The staff officer took them off himself and walked towards the silent division commander.

"In fact, in my opinion, the better these infected people can fight, the better it is," he said.

The division commander turned around.

"What's the meaning."

The staff officer didn't answer until the division commander took the tea set from his hand.

"Colonel, think about it, how long has it been since the Fourth Group was sent to the border after offending the military faction and the royal family? Now there is an opportunity right in front of us, a group of infected people, a group of infected people with sophisticated weapons, is this possible? Can you explain that this group of infected people have been assisted by an organization? Can you explain that someone is secretly organizing this group of infected people to achieve a certain purpose?" The staff member whispered: "You and I both know that the internal security of the They once appeared at the corps headquarters of the Fourth Army, and you must know very well what they represent, Colonel."

"I know it very well, but the problem now is that our losses have exceeded expectations. If we continue to fight like this, even if we can eliminate this group of infected people, how will we explain to the superiors when we return? Who will bear this responsibility!"

"This issue should not be considered by us, Colonel. On the other hand, the fact that this group of infected people have the current combat power only shows that they do have the help of other organizations behind them, and what we need to do is to report it truthfully and give a little To exaggerate their capabilities, the greater our losses, the greater the other party’s plot, and the royal family and military powers, can they watch a group of infected people grow?”

"..."

"If this group of infected people can be easily eliminated, then the Fourth Army has completed the agreement with the internal guards. If not, it only means that the enemy is more difficult to deal with than we imagined. Our equipment, funds, and so many years have It’s time for a change. I believe His Majesty and the Parliament are willing to seriously consider this issue.”

"Is a group of infected people... feasible?" The division leader hesitated.

"The important thing is not this group of infected people, but the people hiding behind this group of infected people, whether they are some military dignitaries that the parliament and the royal family hate, or whether they are the petty actions of the royal family in the eyes of the military powers. This has nothing to do with us, but it does One point, whether to deal with this group of infected people or use this group of infected people depends on the attitude of all parties towards us."

"..."

The division commander took a deep look at his staff officer. He had one last worry.

"Over there with the inner guard..."

"Even the internal guards have no right to arbitrarily deal with any soldier who is dedicated to his duties and loyal to the empire without any evidence. I believe the Legion Commander is also happy to see this result."

"..."

"By the way, there was some good news not long ago. Colonel, the second advance team reported that they had successfully killed the infected commander."

Perhaps because of this last news, the leader of the Kosher Division finally breathed a sigh of relief and made a decision in his heart.

They did successfully eliminate this group of infected people and kill the opposing commander, but they also suffered heavy losses because this group of infected people had elite equipment of unknown origin, and they were suspected of having received formal training.

The empire needs to send special personnel to investigate, but how to investigate, how to contact the Fourth Army, and how to use this group of infected people as an excuse to attack each other have nothing to do with the Fourth Army that suffered losses. On the contrary, they need funds. New equipment is needed to fill the defense gaps that may now arise in the northern part of the empire.

The chief of staff still felt a little regretful because it was not thorough enough. If his division commander could die in the line of duty here, the value and credibility of the words of the Kosher Regiment would undoubtedly be much higher than they are now.

As for an elite division, it's a joke. An army that has never experienced a real war can't be called an elite. Except for a few Guards, Ursus has no elite divisions since the Great Rebellion. If there are enough funds and equipment, any legion in Ursus can assume the current elite title.

18:16 pm on the 25th

The Ursus sent a battalion to rescue the vanguard support battalion that was besieged by the infected. In a short period of time, the shield guards withstood the attack from the main force of the Ursus. Due to the dispersion of troops, the battlefield was cut and artillery was lost. The Ursus heavily armed shield guards in the position were unable to achieve decisive results in a short period of time, or in other words, under the premise of occupying an absolute advantage, they had no intention of increasing casualties with the shield guards.

The situation began to change briefly, and the battle between the two sides fell into a brief stalemate. As time goes by, the disadvantages of the infected will become more and more obvious.

The sky is getting darker and darker, and time continues to pass.

"Tallulah, Tallulah..."

"I'm here, how's it going?"

The hovering drone finally lost its final endurance and had to fall down again. Before the drone replenished its energy, the infected people temporarily lost their ability to communicate over long distances.

"It's very bad. The supplies carried by the soldiers can no longer keep up. The enemy's counterattack is too fierce. Their warlocks have built a position that cannot be taken down in a short time."

"Where are Froststar and the others?"

"Let them hold on for a while longer and tell Frost Star and Snow Monster that if they hold on for a while longer, I will open a gap here and go to reinforce them." Tallulah said to the soldier: "The teams of Vatov and Avora have already Withdrew from the battle, there are too many wounded, and the enemy's situation is not much better than ours. Let them hold on. Be sure to retain this force before Ursus' reinforcements arrive. When they join up, the situation will change. We are more disadvantaged."

This battle will be difficult to fight because, like the Ussans, they have also dispersed their forces. The departure of the shield guards and some guerrillas has caused them to lack the main frontal offensive force. But at the same time, if it were not for the shield guards and guerrillas to contain them, Destroying the rest of the enemy's troops and the speed of reinforcements, the crossbowmen squad would be in a worse situation if they lost the artillery position.

At least for now, it is only a matter of time before they defeat this Ursus support force. At least they have got a chance for Ursus to fight fairly.

As for what they will get after the battle is over.

Tallulah didn't think about it.

Maybe she doesn't have to think about it, because living itself is the reason for them to choose to fight. This day will come sooner or later. Compared with being exhausted under the repeated attacks of Ursus' regular troops, now they have a chance to face the real army of Ursus. ability and wait until this battle is over.

Those who survive will become seeds, the most solid seeds among the infected.

They will understand what kind of enemy they are facing, and if they do not shrink back and timidly, they will already have the power to fight the real battle.

Let go of your illusions, let go of your cowardice, let go of your timidity, no need to emphasize courage, no need to muster confidence, no need to hesitate anymore.

They already have these things, and compared to infected people elsewhere, they are already qualified to be pioneers. They will become the brightest fire before the wildfires start.

Chen Mo let go of his responsibilities as a commander, because while being a commander, he was also a pawn in the war with the Ursans.

Every bit of combat power is precious to the infected, and every bit of strength added may be able to save the lives of several soldiers.

He wiped off the blood of the soldiers of the Second Advance Group on the Ursus vanguard's long knife.

In the distance, the battle between the infected and the Ursus army continued. Under the gloomy sky, the fire and spells ignited the woods, and the sound of explosions was no longer realistic enough when it reached my ears.

Farther away, the shield guards were still struggling to resist successive attacks from Ursus' main force.

At this point in the battle, the Ursus army seemed to have the upper hand, at least in the direction of the shield guards, and it was difficult for them to evacuate. There was no sound of artillery again, and it seemed that the crossbowmen team had succeeded.

Ursus' situation can be said to have suffered heavy losses. Before the war, no one could have expected that a group of infected people without long-range artillery, lack of long-range support methods and supplies could fight to this extent against Ursus' elite division, and even defeat them. The number is far lower than the combat soldiers of the Ursus Division.

There was a deficit in the exchange ratio between the two sides. Even during the war with Casimir, the Ursans did not fall into this situation, not to mention that their opponents were still a group of infected people.

No matter whether they win today or not, they are doomed to fail. From now on, the name of the Kosher Division will become a joke among the Ursus regular army, and perhaps no one in the general garrison will dare to look down on the Ursus anymore. Various underground infected person resistance organizations in SARS.

However, the situation will be reversed, because the situation and opponents faced by infected organizations in various places may be more difficult than in the past.

At least, continuing to go south and contacting infected people from various places will become easier than before. At least in the future, more infected people will be willing to believe and join Tallulah's team.

Integration movement... Chen Mo was not optimistic about this plan when he first heard Tallulah mention it, but now, maybe they really have a chance to unite the infected people from all over Ursus.

But how long will it take?

Chen Mo didn't know, he walked towards the direction where the Ursus warship was damaged and parked.

17:45 minutes

Into the night

As the sky darkened, the severely wounded Ursus trapped troops successfully merged with the supporting troops. The condition of the infected was equally miserable. Almost all of them were injured. The medical soldiers were almost overwhelmed. There were the whines of the wounded everywhere, and some were seriously injured. The infected people were in a coma, unable to make any more painful calls. With each cry, they gradually closed their eyes and lost their breath forever.

War has always been cruel. Whether it is the enemy or ourselves, dying on the battlefield is a common occurrence.

The crossbowmen had exhausted all the ammunition they carried, and in the end they had to draw their swords and join the battlefield like other infected warriors.

There is no longer a distinction between crossbowmen and warriors, everyone is a fighting force, attacking with everything they can use, even the weapons and teeth of the Ursans.

People gradually lose their sanity on the battlefield, and the only people who can maintain their sanity on the battlefield are perhaps the cold-blooded protagonists in novels. Watching their comrades fall in front of them, watching the people they once spent day and night losing their breath in front of them, listening to the words in their ears A constant wail.

Some have lost their breath, and some have become hoarse in pain.

He was as cold-blooded and insensitive as ever.

This was what they were going through, a hellish scene, as if it was punishment for their determination to go against Ursus.

It was difficult for Tallulah to make a sound in her dry and hoarse throat.

"water……"

She tilted her head, and Shuangxing stood beside her at some point, handing her the kettle.

"Thank you." She took the kettle before she could unscrew it.

"Have you ever imagined this, Tallulah?"

Shuangxing's words rang in her ears. Her face was pale and weak, and her gray eyes were bloodshot. The excessive and frequent use of spells had put a severe load on her body. She thought that it might be difficult for her to open her eyes again once she closed them. .

"The soldiers have never fought this kind of battle, they have never encountered this kind of enemy. The Ursus army's toughness is no worse than ours, and their physical fitness and combat capabilities are even far better than ours."

"I'm not here to hear you praise the enemy, Tallulah." Froststar said, then paused: "Snow monster... I lost two family members forever today again."

"...Sorry." Tallulah put down the kettle.

"If it works...are you still sticking to your original idea?"

Tallulah fell silent, knowing what Froststar was asking.

That was their conversation a few years ago.

[If the price of leaving is death, my life will be of no use except for exchanging the lives of one or two Ursus soldiers. 】

[But what about the people around us? 】

[Tallulah, if you don’t have your brothers and sisters with you, I won’t let them die. 】

[But I think that’s right. 】

Froststar once said this, in front of the bonfire in the snowfield.

【which one? ] Tallulah asked.

[Tell the infected that they are not alone. We spend too much time on one thing in the snowfield, looking for friends. But for the infected who go to the United City, it seems that young people from big cities do prefer to fantasize. 】

[I don’t want to be laughed at by you yet, Frost Star. 】

[I don’t laugh at you, you are strong, you have taken them a long way, just like us, but going south is an illusion. The guerrillas are growing, but we are infected.

We don't have a few years left... and how many more years do you need to unite. 】

【Therefore--】
