"If we hadn't come, these guys would have started to kill each other long ago."
Colonel Akat was about to climb out of Chimera's hatch, and instead scolded his new adjutant:
"So we should give up our mission and run away in front of the thugs?"
The adjutant seemed to want to take a step back, but there was no place to retreat in the small space of the armored vehicle.
"Of course not, colonel."
"Very good. You should be glad that the political commissar did not hear these bastards."
Originally, their political commissar had been killed, but soon another intern political commissar was transferred from the 22nd Regiment, who was now staying with Yilian.
"Please forgive me-"
"We are Kadians, and we are here, where we should come, and we are here to restore order to the planet. If I stand by and watch the will of the emperor be enforced, and let the population of a world self-destruct, I will be cursed, and you better remember it for me."
"I apologize solemnly, Colonel, I was speechless for a moment."
Colonel Akater snorted and climbed into the top cabin.
Chimera is at the forefront of the Cadian army, with only a few Riemanlus in a wedge in front of it.
The marching speed was very slow, and the armored vehicles were not even faster than the infantry. Then he grabbed the wireless telephone and issued an order:
"All tanks, acceleration, I hope to arrive at the scheduled attack position before dark."
Silhouettes of fortifications and trenches covered the horizon, and details were blurred by distance.
Colonel Akater chose a low plateau, which is enough to deploy troops and can seize the lead in the battle at a height.
This plateau is also in the direction of the enemy's attack and directed by Fortress No. 7. Images sent back from the reconnaissance flight show that the marching of the rebels and cultists is like a storm.
When Colonel Akater remembered those rebels, he was so angry that he almost died at the hands of the armed militia not long ago, although in the end he commanded the tanks to crush all the traitors - literally.
But this is not enough to relieve his inner anger.
Who gave them the courage to turn against the emperor in these mud legs in the wild world?
This is not a simple mental illness, or some kind of randomly transmitted plague, and there is a certain motivation behind the rage.
Although the battle situation was quite unfavorable, Colonel Akat still had sufficient confidence, after all, they always had the advantages of air and orbit.
Fortress No. 7 has become the key to the problem.
As long as the remaining enemies inside are solved, the Dark Angel can pull out his hands, launch an airborne attack at the enemy's weak position, and insert a sharp knife into the heart of the enemy.
Colonel Akater believed that the situation of the war would change soon.
Soon, the 99th Regiment of Cadian rushed down from the position and plowed out a highway between the enemy's tides.
The armored troops charged forward like a huge mechanical sickle, and the infantry troops followed closely, and they would cause more damage to the enemy.
If you face the enemy troops that are many times more than your own in the plain, the strength of the infantry will undoubtedly be difficult to exert. Colonel Akat decided to leave them for the attack on the fortress.
As planned, the army ate the highlands occupied by the rebels, and the Kadians were unstoppable and crushed the enemy all the way.
However, the enemy then gathered more numbers and gathered with the cultists.
Their counterattack was even more intense than Colonel Akater expected. He knew that these people were in a state of madness, but their actions still surprised him.
The madman holding an explosive rushed straight towards the Rieman Russ tank, never taking a step back-
Even in Green Pie, he had never shown such a spirit of sacrificing his life.
The armored forces were forced to retreat on a small scale.
Most rebels did not have heavy weapons, and light weapons were generally modified simple live-fire guns, as well as rough melee weapons, such as blades or sticks, which they could do nothing but die in front of the Cadians.
But a very small number of local garrisons who were rebellious also joined the battle. They released their anger regardless of the enemy and us, and fought a bloody path between the plains, just to rush to the front of the formation to launch an attack.
Their weapons and equipment are not as good as the Cardi, but they should not be underestimated.
Therefore, casualties began to appear.
Colonel Akat stood at the hatch, supervised the battle himself, and urged the tanks to launch artillery attacks.
Not long after, more enemy troops rushed to the Cadian positions from all directions. They were like waves after wave, one wall after another, and one nest after another of churning maggots.
Colonel Akater did not know whether they were heretics or madmen, or something else, and they fought so enthusiastically that they seemed sick.
These people seem to have no thoughts or consciousness of their own, and only know how to attack with the passion of rage.
Some madmen are covered in blood, flesh and clothes, but they still howl, even foam in their mouths, and lose their language ability. Although they are still recognizable humans, their bodies have not suffered from corruption or mutation.
Although these people's fanaticism seemed to tear the host's body from the inside, they still knew how to use weapons.
The militia even lined up.
If they continue to defend, they will only be exhausted, and Colonel Akater decided to take a counterattack.
He knew there were risks in orders he issued to the armored forces, which would make them distance themselves from the infantry, but he believed that discipline and firepower were enough to allow soldiers to repel the thugs, and gradual advancement would only give the enemy time and allow more lunatics to rush in.
Ahead, his command was executed.
The engine roared, and the heavy bomb kept firing, but the tank troops did not accelerate and the cannon remained silent.
"Armored Battalion."
Colonel Akater shouted at the radio:
"I have ordered you to speed up."
"We accelerated, Colonel... but the enemy is blocking us."
"What to use to block it? The enemy does not have any vehicles."
"quantity."
The battalion commander of the armored battalion sounded at a loss, and Colonel Akat couldn't help but curse.
"Heavenly killed! Open a gap."
After he gave the order, he turned to the driver.
"Drive to the front!"
The tanks ahead sailed to the left and right sides, and Colonel Akat sat in Chimera to fill the gap, which was only a hundred meters away from the forefront.
At this time, his chin almost fell off.
The battalion commander of the armored battalion was right, and the enemy stopped the offensive based on their number of people alone.
Furious crowds kept coming and pounced on the tanks.
Just before his eyes, the vehicle was trying to hit a solid wall of flesh and blood, and the sea of people stretched all the way to the distance.
The crowd pushed and stomped on each other under the obsession of killing, and in contrast, the impact on the wings of the team was insignificant.
However, it is only for the time being.
"Damn it, where do these people come from???"
Colonel Akater still doesn't know about the Red Sand Mountains, and he doesn't know that someone opened a portal on the battlefield and directly transmitted the people who fell into madness in the Red Sand Camp to the battlefield.
Such teleportation requires a huge blood price, and those who pass the teleportation will go completely crazy.
