The 4th Infantry Division of the Revolutionary Army entered the battle at the foot of Zhonglin Mountain in the Midlin Mountains at 4 o'clock in the morning on January 17, 2493. About 25,000 Revolutionary Army soldiers, tanks and tanks crossed the border of Antioch Province and fought with
The 137th Ranger Airborne Brigade completed the encirclement of the Jormungandr ethnic group on the east bank of the upper reaches of the Midlin River.
This was an epic battle on a large scale. Even though the 4th Infantry Division was mostly veterans who had followed Augustus for many years and was well-equipped and high-spirited, it could not help but fall into a hard battle.
The Air Force's Grizzly bomber fleet continued to bomb the high ground at the foot of the mountain, forcing the Zerg in the area to assemble on the river bank to avoid the artillery shells. Such dense fire coverage was enough to panic any enemy of the Revolutionary Army, but the Zerg
But no.
The firepower of the protoss is much more terrifying than that of humans. Whether it is the giant statues walking on the ground or the main guns of the battleships that can level the mountains, they can't make the zerg shudder. The zerg swarm will only be afraid of the overlord and
The authority of the brainworm, and any other enemy will only stimulate the bloody nature deep in its genes.
By the early morning of January 19, the main force of the 4th Infantry Division was still advancing and approaching the only pass in the Midling Mountains.
The morning light of the 19th passed through the steep chasm and fell on the charred land below that was littered with corpses. Shocking corpses and chariots could be seen everywhere on the land that had become barren and desolate due to the erosion of the zerg blanket.
of the wreckage.
A red sun rises from the top of the main peak of the Middling Mountains, dispelling the chill brought by death. As the red sun gradually rises, the shadows under the mountains continue to recede, and more sunlight falls.
In a land that has been devastated many times, only those eyes that were wide open and those that were closed could no longer see the current situation.
In the dead and empty land, only a few sporadic gunshots still sounded, and automatic cannons and explosions had not sounded for several hours.
Colonel Ilya Kurovsky of the 4th Infantry Division walked through a section of trenches excavated by space engineering vehicles and concrete bunker fortifications, heading towards a bunker cluster on higher ground.
Along the way, Kurovsky and the few soldiers who followed him stopped from time to time, stopping next to the revolutionary soldiers who fell on the ground, trying to remove their wounds from the ten-inch Hydra Hydralisk spine needles.
Under the riddled power armor and helmets, some signs that the soldiers were still alive were found.
But that never brings anything but deep disappointment and heartache.
Most of the corpses were incomplete. Many warriors had their entire hands or feet torn off by strange-looking insects, or chopped into pieces by sharp chitin bone blades. They were extremely bloody and even shocking.
Disgusting.
Colonel Kurovsky walked past a still bleeding corpse of a springtail, and suddenly took out a blaster pistol and fired at the rising monster. This shot was accurate and deadly, with only one shot.
He knocked off half of the springtail's head.
The springtail, which had lost its entire cervical spine, struggled to the ground, and scarlet blood continued to flow down the neck covered with hard chitin armor. The blaster pistol is an upgraded version of humanity's current electromagnetic pistol. Its power is
It's worthy of that astonishing caliber, enough to blow a person's head off with one shot.
In comparison, the P-series electromagnetic pistols are unable to deal with Hydralisks or even larger King Insects.
After stepping over two more lifeless bodies of Hydra Hydralisks, Kurovsky came to a soldier lying on his back on the ground. The soldier's power armor had almost no damage, just a dark orange matte finish.
There are black holes in the mask.
There is also an eye-catching symbol on the right chest of the soldier's power armor. It is a giant white tree, which is the symbol of Stirring, the former capital city of Korhal IV. People there believe that this city was built on the white tree.
superior.
He silently knelt down on one knee in front of him, and after turning on the locking function of his power armor's servo system, he silently made a mourning gesture with a strong religious meaning.
On the side, several Revolutionary Army soldiers wearing gold and red armor were stabbing the hearts of the Zerg corpses on the ground with bayonets attached to their Gauss rifles.
To the north of this trench, there is a wasteland backed by the peaks of Midlin. The wasteland is empty and filled with huge craters dozens of feet in diameter and piles of Zerg corpses, including many large human and protoss combat aircraft.
The remains of armor.
The strong wind blowing from the direction of the Midelin peaks in the early morning was also mixed with the stench of burnt protein, and the unpleasant smell hit my face.
The war under the Midrin Peaks is coming to an end, and all the zerg in the area have been annihilated by the combined forces of humans and protoss.
The Arclight tanks and Sidewinder suspension tanks of the 1st Armored Division and the 7th to 8th Infantry Divisions stormed the Zerg lair on the north coast. They followed Phoenix's Zealot Legion to crush the Zerg swarm's attack and pushed the front line to meters
At the foot of the Delin Peaks.
Compared to humans, the protoss mobilized much larger armies, and those high-level templar warriors who were considered extremely rare rushed to the front lines one after another. In the past, when humans saw hundreds of protoss warriors, they would think that one
An army that should not be underestimated. But on the battlefield of Medlin, excluding those astonishingly powerful mechas and gorgeous fighter planes, the number of light templar warriors exceeded one million.
Including other troops, the number of human soldiers who participated in the front-line battle in Midlin exceeded 200,000. As for the Protoss, this made the Revolutionary Army almost convinced that almost all the Protoss warriors in El were here.
By this time, the situation on the Midlin battlefield had become clear. Originally, the number of zerg here exceeded 20 million or more, but now only sporadic groups were left wandering on the gray battlefield.
The coalition forces are currently launching the final attack on the Zhonglin Pass in the Midlin Mountains, which is the exit of this natural chasm. But even if they win there, it will only be the prelude to a larger and more cruel war.
Passing through the peaks of Midlin, the coalition forces will face the Overlord and its most bloodthirsty and brutal servants. That will be the final decisive battle.
"Colonel, the protoss are attacking again." A soldier came over and said.
"Maybe they never stopped." Kurofsky opened his mask and nodded. The oxygen content in Al's air was a bit too high for humans, but it didn't make it impossible to breathe.
Under the influence of Aiur's hot climate and oxygen content in the air, there are many types of giant insects on this planet. But now, those colorful and beautiful creatures have become part of the insect swarm. Perhaps it is because of this that the invasion of Aiur
The Zerg has also undergone some changes in appearance, no longer looking more like an alien monster with bumpy bones than it did in the past.
Colonel Kurovsky took off a nameplate from the dead soldier. He was thinking about this question: How old was he and how many people were waiting for him to go home?
Moroccan Mellie West.
From Korhal.
Engraved on the back of the nameplate is this passage: A government should not treat its people like that. The people will fight out of due obligation, loyalty or patriotism, but never under the whipping and driving of slave owners.
The revolutionary army wants to bring more peace to mankind instead of war. Soldiers, lead the people of Koprulu towards the light.
This soldier himself wrote this on a piece of paper and attached it to the back of the nameplate. Many people did the same thing as him to remind themselves why they were fighting. There are many such people in the revolutionary army, and their spirit is noble and valuable.
, for a greater ideal rather than for an individual.
Valley tree
"Take him away." Kurovsky put the nameplate back on the soldier: "As long as we still have breath, he should never be buried here."
The first ten divisions of the Army's combat sequence were all formed on Korhal IV. Most of them came from Korhal's militia, the former Federation Planetary Defense Force and other young people of appropriate age from various walks of life. Later, after the Revolutionary Army fleet left Korhal
, these first-formed divisions rarely accept recruits from other planets.
Each of these divisions wrote a suicide note. The content of the suicide note was different, but the ending was the same: Return to Korhal, wait for us to return to our hometown. Comrades, even if you bury me in the radioactive wasteland and desert
.
Under the orders of Marshal Augustus Mengsk, the Revolutionary Army never discarded the remains of its soldiers.
"He was a brave soldier, and his sacrifice was by no means in vain." A political commissar of the Revolutionary Army with distinctive epaulettes came over and said.
"You say that to everyone." Kurovsky stood up. In the revolutionary army, the political commissar at the division level is responsible for the ideological work of the entire division. The political commissar must ensure that revolutionary ideas in the army will not be distorted at will, and beware of soldiers
and the officers embarked on an extreme course of revenge.
Augustus valued his army and kept this powerful force in his hands that terrified the Terran Confederacy.
"I will say the same thing when you die in battle," the division-level political commissar said in a calm voice.
"Damn it, you really don't know how to adapt, Sidr." Kurovsky sighed and stood under the light of the morning light for a few seconds. The heavy dark bags under his eyes due to two days of not sleeping became more obvious.
.
Sidr is also a veteran of Korhal origin. He had already joined the civil revolutionary groups when Angus, Augustus' father, was promoting Korhal independence in the political circles of Korhal IV.
He is a descendant of the Korhal nobles who have been passed down to this day. As early as more than a century ago, Sidr's family was a follower of the Mengsk family. By Sidr's generation, the family had already declined, and his mother died of illness.
My father drank alcohol all day long and eventually became addicted to drugs.
Now, Sidr has already become a figure that cannot be ignored in the Pan-Terran Revolutionary Army. He is not only an outstanding warrior, but also a loyal supporter of Augustus. Sidr firmly believes that he is following the Koprulu sector for two hundred years.
The most outstanding leader and great man in history, he also continued to tell other revolutionary soldiers about this concept.
"No one knows who will be collecting the bodies of whom when the time comes." He went on to say, "Such a ghost place is really not meant for human beings."
"Maybe my hometown of Brysis is hell on earth in another sense, but at least there aren't that many bugs there."
"You think we shouldn't come to Ayr to fight this battle." Political Commissar Sidr's entire face was hidden under the helmet visor of the power armor, and no one could see his expression under the visor.
Ilya Kurovsky is a member of the famous Heavenly Demons. This legendary unit that has been reported in major mainstream media in Tarsonis was intentionally portrayed as a fighting hero during the Guild War. But that is anyone's guess.
Unexpectedly, these fighting heroes would become rebels that the Federation would listen to in the future, and their leader would be the Wolf of Korhal, Augustus Mengsk.
"Of course not. If we don't come to Aiur to fight, the next time will be in Antiga, Tarsonis, or Umoyan. By then, humanity will really have no retreat." Colonel Kurovsky
explain.
"I can carry it clearly. If the Star Spirit is finished, we won't be far away."
"Yes, but many people in the army don't understand yet, or in other words, they only came here because of Marshal Mengsk's order." Sidell said: "When the sacrifices were not so heavy, there would not be many of them.
There are criticisms, but after so many people sleep in foreign lands, some people will inevitably ask why."
"The meaning of fighting remains as always. We fight for the hope of mankind. We also fight for our home and family. We would rather defend the enemy on the battlefield..."
"Keep fighting until the day the world no longer needs us." Kulovsky said: "Augustus has always said this."
"But the peaceful era has gone forever since the guild war began. A cruel war always follows another cruel war."
"He's right." Kurofsky was silent for a while.
"The marshal never makes a mistake," Political Commissar Sidr said.
"No, he is not a perfect person." Kurofsky corrected Sidell's statement in a declarative tone: "He never was."
"Augustus Mengsk makes mistakes too... at least, when he's driving a Vulture and trying to carry people, he's a bastard who only thinks about himself when he's driving and never cares about the people in the back seat.
