With the kind assistance of Hayes, the militiamen on both flanks were quickly able to withdraw from the battle. Not long after their withdrawal, the Tyranids broke through the line of fire and crossed the already riddled defense line, but then violently
The artillery fire began to cover the area, and most of the fire bombs fired were incendiary bombs. The Tyranid creatures that had just been roasted by the fire immediately experienced the second round. At the same time, the ornithopters began to sow various types of mines further back.
, especially petal mines. Although these small mines cannot kill creatures larger than knife bugs, they are enough to deal with tiny Tyranids such as gun bugs and knife bugs.
In addition, the armored forces also began to assemble in the area between the first and second lines of defense. Soon they would form a wave of counterattack, giving priority to destroying the large Tyranid creatures, providing time for the second line of defense to be deployed.
The soldiers who withdrew from the defense line began to gather in the second line of defense area. Although there were already defense facilities, it took time to arrange firepower points, place injured personnel, and replenish ammunition and weapons and equipment. Hayes had been busy for more than an hour before he finished.
After the war, 11 people were killed in the company, 6 were seriously injured, and 23 were slightly injured. Since Tyron's body fluids are mostly poisonous and acidic, the treatment of the wounded is also quite troublesome, and they basically need to be transferred to hospitals in the rear for treatment.
After finishing all these things, Hayes still had to report to the regiment headquarters and apply for ammunition. After all, many things at the company level had to be done by the company commander himself. Only at the regiment level would there be staff officers to assist the chief officer in handling these matters, and he contradicted him.
The story of Flesh Tearer rescuing the militia has spread, and some people have begun to jokingly call him 'Good Guy Hayes', but he doesn't think this is a bad thing.
After everything was done, Hayes realized that he was hungry and thirsty. He hadn't eaten for ten hours, and he hadn't even had a few drinks of water. Just when he was about to return to the company to rest for a while, he received a message from the militia group.
Although he didn't want to have too much involvement with these local troops, it was Parlu's eldest son who came to deliver the message. The other party's words were very sincere. After Hayes thought for a while, he told the other party that he wanted to go to the company first.
Say hello.
After returning to the company and explaining some things to Xiao Feiton and others, Hayes came to the camp of the militia group. When passing by the militia camp, Hayes saw that they were also having a meal, but each militiaman only received a piece of 200 grams.
The weight of scones and a bowl of clear soup seemed to be mixed with many impurities. The soup only contained some unknown green plants. In contrast, each soldier of Hayes Company received 1kg of pure grain scones per day.
The food is a thick soup stewed with canned meat and various beans, as well as a small amount of fresh fruits and vegetables. Except for the canned part, these foods are all local crops.
After arriving at the largest tent in the militia group, Hayes saw that the two group leaders were here, in addition to Parlu and Benik. There was a table in the tent with several covered metal tables.
Large bowl.
"Sir Hayes, please sit down and help the commander hang up his hat and weapons..."
Parlu's son enthusiastically took Hayes' hat and sword and hung them on a shelf. Hayes then smiled at Parlu and said:
"You're too kind."
"Oh, if it weren't for you, all of us, thousands of people, would have become cannon fodder by now. Sit down, sit down."
While asking Hayes to sit down, Parlu opened the lids of the metal bowls, and a burst of aroma suddenly filled the air.
When Hayes took a look, there was a large piece of grilled meat in one bowl, and it was also a rib part. In the other bowl, there were fried wings and legs. Hayes knew that this kind of animal was a local specialty.
The bird is called Kentish chicken. It has four legs and six pairs of wings, and its body actually doesn’t have much meat. The meat is mainly concentrated on the wings and legs. Fried finger-sucking Kentish chicken is also considered the most famous local specialty. There is also a
In the bowl is a delicate pancake the size of a palm, with a white and porous appearance. It looks like a very delicate staple food. The other two bowls contain a thick soup made of Kentish chicken breast bones mixed with vegetables, and the other contains red and white rice cakes with water droplets on them.
of fresh fruits.
At the moment, this meal cannot be said to be sumptuous, it can even be called a luxury.
After the war warning was issued, the entire war zone immediately implemented a rationing system. The mechanical sages carefully calculated the "most reasonable" food quota for militiamen, administrative personnel or other management personnel, 400 grams per person per day, and 400 grams per person per day for workers or other production personnel.
, as well as logistics personnel serving the military, 250 grams per person per day, children or other people with low labor ability only 125 grams, and "worthless" personnel such as disabled people and seriously ill patients do not have it at all. In addition, the food rations also include a considerable amount
Part of the "filling material", that is, wood chips, weeds, etc., and any behavior of hiding food will be considered a crime, and will either become the massacre servitors of the Adeptus Mechanicus and throw them onto the battlefield, or it will become "
A member of the "Punitive Battalion" to fill the gaps in the battle line.
Of course, there are always loopholes in the rules. For example, the militia is a military organization but needs to be responsible for a considerable part of its own logistics. Therefore, officers can hoard supplies in the name of "military supplies." Therefore, anyone with a little bit of strength in the local area will find ways to join the militia.
Find a position in the land, or simply join the big landowner Parlu and form a team directly.
Sometimes when he has to go to the division headquarters to do business, Hayes occasionally passes through the city. In the once noisy and bustling city, the most common things now are corpses and beggars. Some people starve to death or commit suicide in despair, and some people commit crimes or commit suicide.
Spreading failed ideas and being hung from a street lamp for public display. Since the war zone has implemented a protective system, even any inappropriate remarks among neighbors may lead to death. Therefore, the atmosphere in the city is not only depressed, but also very depressing, but the most terrifying thing.
Still hungry...
Even with the toughest systems and laws, frantic hunger still leads to some tragic events, such as Hayes once heard of a parent who ate all four of their children until a neighbor discovered the finger bones in their trash can.
, the tragedy was revealed, and in the end the two people became rotting corpses in hanging cages.
So looking at this table of sumptuous meat, although Hayes's stomach rumbled with hunger, he still shook his head and sighed:
"Captain Parlu, under wartime conditions... this is too much."
"These are home-cooked dishes, cooked by my wife herself, just to thank you for saving my life."
Benik on the side also laughed, picked up a black wine bottle and said with a smile:
"You command well and are kind-hearted. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have had the chance to leave. Many regiments would have been thrown directly at the front, and they would have been told that Tian Tian should not respond. This is a wine that our family has treasured for more than two hundred years.
I brought it here to thank you."
Hayes sighed, sat on the chair, and waved his hands.
"I've eaten the food, but I don't need the wine. You'd better not drink it. If the military police find out, it will be very serious."
