Chapter 565 The officers and soldiers of the Hicks Homecoming Division who changed their minds
Chapter 565: The officers and soldiers of the Hicks Homecoming Division who changed their psychology
The cold wind howled, snowflakes were flying all over the sky, and under the gloomy sky, houses were destroyed and burned into ruins. The corpses of the soldiers of the Buckle Army Corps who had been looted were carried out by the soldiers of the Breault Mountain Army Corps and dumped in the square.
They piled up on the ground, and as the snowflakes fell, they were soon covered with a thin layer of snow. There were already more than a dozen such piles of corpses in the square. These were the victims of a fierce battle last night. The muddy snow
You can vaguely see traces of blood flowing on the ground...
Under the guidance of several officers of the Breault Mountain Legion, Claude entered the palace of the city lord of Scannamo City, the capital of Skvia County, and then stopped in front of a row of corpses on the ground in the administrative office hall.
Compared to the corpses of soldiers carried to the square outside and piled up, these corpses wearing the uniforms of generals from the Kingdom of Hicks were obviously treated more favorably. At least they were covered with a gray military blanket.
"This is the commander of the Buckler Corps, His Royal Highness Prince Mondo Carlo da Hicks." Officer Breault with a beard pointed at the corpse in the center wearing the uniform of a lieutenant general and said: "He
He led the guards around him to launch a final charge towards us, and then we all knocked him to the ground. Finally, when we went over to check, we found out that he was a lieutenant general. We also found a few captured officers and soldiers to confirm, and then we found out that he was a lieutenant general.
His Highness Mondo Carlo da Hicks..."
"At least he was brave. He died well. He died on the way to charge. He wore such a military uniform in vain and did not embarrass the soldiers." General Diavid, who was beside Claude, expressed his thoughts: "But
He was not a qualified commander, and he trapped himself in a dead end. He was simply a brainless idiot. He thought that the Glowing River could be used as a defensive barrier, but he did not expect that the Glowing River would also trap his legion to death in Scandinavia.
Namo City..."
This is the morning of December 11th. The battle in Skvia County ended before early this morning. After a month of fighting, the Thunder Legion and the three Breault Mountain Legions used the maneuverability of the Thunder Legion light cavalry to defeat the enemy.
The defensive lines set up divided and surrounded the enemy in the towns where they were stationed. After the three Breault Mountain Corps arrived, they then cooperated with the fierce offensive of the new artillery regiment to launch a strong attack, wiping out the Buckle Army and the Bruce Army in one fell swoop.
The Hicks Kingdom assembled an army of 350,000.
Last night's night attack was the result of the coordinated operations of the 3rd Thunder Division commanded by General Diaverde and the 1st Breault Mountain Corps. The demoralized officers and soldiers of Buckler's Corps raised their hands and surrendered as soon as they resisted. Until the attack.
When they arrived at the enemy's base camp, the palace of the city lord of Scandinavia, the resistance became fierce and tenacious. Finally, General Diavid ordered the use of nearly a hundred new light infantry field artillery, bombarding them for more than an hour, almost
Most of the city lord's mansion was destroyed before the enemy's last stronghold was captured...
"We have captured a total of nearly 200,000 enemies. The number of enemies killed and wounded is estimated to be around 110,000, and our own casualties are nearly 60,000. Among them, the Thunder Legion suffered more than 8,000 casualties, and the three mountain legions of the Breault Kingdom
There were nearly 54,000 casualties..." The adjutant, Captain Fahsselin, immediately reported the rough casualty statistics to Claude.
It is worth mentioning that most of the casualties of the Breault Kingdom's mountain army were the losses suffered when they conquered the mountain city of Hidpath alone. They were more than 43,000, which was almost the same as the battle losses of the defending Hicks Bruce Standing Army.
It was one to one. Even though Claude sent a new artillery regiment directly under the legion to help, the casualties greatly increased due to improper cooperation and the brainless charges launched by the Breault Mountain Legion...
That's why in last night's night attack, Claude ordered General Diavid to lead the 3rd Thunder Division as the main attack, and Breault's 1st Mountain Legion to assist and cooperate, just to let these simple-minded mountain people see.
What should you do to reduce your own casualties when attacking a well-defended city? But now it seems that the effect is very limited. Instead, the officers and soldiers of Breault's First Mountain Corps have a competitive mentality, and they still suffered nearly 10,000 casualties.
Judging from the situation, the reorganization more than half a month ago did not achieve the desired results. The reorganization of the three mountain regiments in Breault was nothing more than a selection of the weak. Qualified and strong soldiers were selected from the three mountain regiments and reorganized into
The First and Second Mountain Corps will concentrate the remaining older veterans into the Third Mountain Corps, responsible for transporting prisoners and taking care of these affairs. The First and Second Mountain Corps have been reorganized and have strengthened their organization.
Sexuality and military discipline management, but their bravery is rather reckless, and they need long-term tactical training.
The occupation of Scannamo City, the capital of Skvia County, meant that the two standing armies of the Kingdom of Hicks, the Buckler Army and the Bruce Army, were wiped out. It also meant that five of the eight local counties in the southern coastal zone had lost them.
The remaining defensive and garrison armies are the two standing armies, the Dahli Army and the Faklin Army, stationed in the three counties of the Manoli Plain.
In the winter of 604 in the Holy Light Calendar, life was very difficult for the Kingdom of Hicks. Five of the eight local counties in the southern coastal zone had fallen into the hands of the invading army of the Overseas Dominion of the Kingdom of Overas, and the Thunder Legion
It was like being in an uninhabited land in these five counties. The administrative offices and territorial nobles in these places were all wiped out by these invaders. People were arrested, their homes were ransacked, and their property was completely robbed...
In the city of St. Hyprian in Wangjing and the Wangjing area, the invaders launched a massive investigation campaign. Countless patriots who wanted to serve the country were either arrested or killed. What made the people of Hicks most angry was that
, those Hicks officers and soldiers who were once part of the Hicks Kingdom's Nubisia Continent Expeditionary Force, turned out to be accomplices of the invaders. They worked for the tigers, and were even more disgusting and hated than those vicious Storm Legion officers and soldiers.
Comparison is only hurtful. If the Storm Legion only robbed property, then Wangjing residents would take it for granted. After all, this is the standard behavior of invaders. But why should the families and relatives of the officers and soldiers of the Hicks Returning Division be subjected to such treatment?
Big preferential treatment? You must know that the soldiers who were forcibly recruited into the expeditionary force were all the humblest untouchables in the Kingdom of Hicks. So even if the expeditionary force suffered a disastrous defeat in the colonial war and was wiped out, nearly half a million people
The prisoners are still ignored in the Kingdom of Hicks, and no one cares about the life and death of these untouchables.
War will naturally destroy the normal social order. The nearly one million residents of Saint Cyprian City in Wangjing rely on supplies from large and small farms and orchards in the Wangjing area and supplies from various parts of the kingdom for their daily living supplies. However, after the fall,
In the royal city of St. Hyprian, the transportation of materials and supplies was of course greatly affected. Even if the occupiers would not deliberately interrupt this kind of private commercial activities, the imposition of city tax and strict inspections would still be unavoidable.
The supply of daily necessities in Wangjing St. Hyprian City began to become a little tight, and prices rose rapidly. Many Wangjing residents were forced to leave their homes and go to other counties to visit relatives and friends. Under such circumstances, the four Hicks still
The families and relatives of the officers and soldiers of the rural division received great preferential treatment. They even occupied a large area of the Royal Square and the aristocratic residential area, and set up residential camps. All daily necessities were provided free of charge, and the cost was naturally from
Various resources and materials collected from the treasury of the Kingdom of Hicks.
For many residents of Saint Hyprian City, the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force are lowly servants and cannon fodder in their eyes. They usually look down on these untouchables because of their noble status. But now they have become the most embarrassed people in life.
People lack many necessary living necessities and daily consumables, and they have to wait in line for two hours to buy bread. However, the untouchables they look down on are reunited with their families, laughing and having food and clothing in the residential area. Even these Wangjingshenghepu
The residents of Li'an City became increasingly resentful of these untouchables who had rebelled against the Kingdom of Hicks...
What surprised General Albert, who was guarding Wangjing, was that with the arrival of the families and relatives of the officers and soldiers of the Hicks Returning Division, the attacks on the soldiers of the Storm Legion in St. Hyprian City and Wangjing area increased rapidly.
On the contrary, there have been an increasing number of terrorist attacks on the residential camps where the families and relatives of the Hicks Returning Division officers and soldiers live. In just two months, nearly a hundred family members and relatives of the Returning Division officers and soldiers have died because of
These attacks hurt.
In contrast, the officers and soldiers of the Hicks Homecoming Division became more and more fierce and cruel in their arrest and pursuit of the perpetrators of these attacks. They even went as far as to get clues about the pursuit and find the planners of these attacks.
They can torture the prisoners they capture to death...
Compared with their behavior when they first entered Wangjing Saint Cyprian City, the officers and soldiers of the Hicks Returning Division have changed from being young and shy to fierce and cruel. In their eyes, the residents of Wangjing Saint Cyprian City have become
Their enemies rather than their compatriots. Any Hicks people who prevent them and their families from seeking a happy life have become their sworn enemies.
As the Military Intelligence Agency arranged in the report of the spies of the Hicks Returning Division, these officers and soldiers who were recruited into the Hicks Kingdom Expeditionary Force crossed the Silent Ocean to the Nubisian continent and the overseas autonomous territory military zone to fight the colonial war.
, most of them are serfs and subordinates under the nobles of the Hicks Kingdom. They have a humble status. They are untouchables and servants in the eyes of most of the free people of the Hicks Kingdom. No one looks down on them.
After losing the colonial war and becoming prisoners, even if they served in the overseas autonomous territories, their treatment was even better than in the Kingdom of Hicks. As long as they were willing to work hard and work hard, having enough food and clothing was the most basic condition.
They can even receive very low salary and welfare subsidies, which can be accumulated to become personal property. If they are willing to learn, they will be taught how to read and write in the labor camps, which they cannot get from the territorial nobles.
....
Therefore, after the expiration of the labor service, the Hicks prisoners still lived a good life in the overseas dominions. They were truly free people here. They were paid for their work, and their treatment was the same as that of the young men in the dominions. The only difference was that they were not immigrants.
, they will not be able to receive the preferential treatment and industrial distribution provided by the Dominion to immigrant families. This is also the real reason why two to three hundred thousand Hicks prisoners want to settle down and immigrate in the overseas Dominion. It is not that the remaining Hicks prisoners do not want to have relationships with these companions.
The same thought, but thinking about the family in Hicks Kingdom...
Well now, the overseas autonomous territories have promulgated new regulations, allowing them Hicks captives to form eight returning divisions, return to the Hicks Kingdom, bring their families and relatives to immigrate to the overseas autonomous territories, and provide Ovelas with
Immigrants from the Kingdom receive the same generous treatment and are assigned a share of family property, allowing them to settle down in overseas autonomous territories and live a happy life.
This is great news for all the Hicks prisoners. They enthusiastically signed up to join the army. Even the unsuccessful ones asked their comrades to take their families back to the overseas dominions. The dominions also made it convenient for them.
The door allows these unsuccessful candidates to register and then bring their families and relatives back to the overseas autonomous territories for free.
When the eight officers and soldiers of the Hicks Returning Division once again set foot on the territory of the Hicks Kingdom, their mood was very complicated. There was both joy and fear. After all, they had become rebels.
character, following the Overseas Dominion Military Region to attack their homeland. Therefore, after receiving the order to assist the Storm Legion in conducting an inventory of St. Hyprian City in Wangjing and arresting those resistance elements, the four Hicks who had just arrived in Wangjing also
The performance of the township division was not very good, and it seemed a bit perfunctory.
The spies assigned by the Military Intelligence Bureau to the four Hicks Returning Divisions reported such an incident. A squadron of the Hicks Returning Division that had just entered Wangjing was ordered to guard a stone bridge in the city and inspect it.
Whether the pedestrians passing by were carrying weapons. When they were performing their mission, a noble lady of the Hicks Kingdom yelled at them, scolding them as scum of the Hicks people, traitors, etc. And the soldiers of this squadron
The performance was shameful. They checked the intercepted carriages carelessly and then let the intercepted carriages cross the river...
This is not a special case. Most of the officers and soldiers of the four Hicks returning divisions who have just entered the city behaved in the same way. As they themselves said, this is the city of Saint Hyprian, the capital of the Hicks people, which the Hicks are most proud of.
As citizens and serfs, they may never have the chance to enter this great city. This time they came to this capital as occupying troops, and their mentality was still humble and panicked. They always felt that the residents in the city were inferior to them.
The kind that is more noble and unattainable.
However, General Albert did not punish the officers and soldiers of the Hicks Returning Division for these reasons. Instead, he kept his promise and sent troops of the Hicks Returning Division to various local counties to bring the families of these officers and soldiers to justice.
They brought them back with their relatives and gathered them in the royal capital. A large residential area was arranged for them. Materials were fully supplied so that these officers and soldiers could be reunited with their families and relatives, in order to improve the Hicks Returning Division.
The morale of the regiment’s officers and soldiers.
I just didn't expect that the result of this would be that the relatives of the officers and soldiers of the Hicks Homecoming Division in the residential area would be hated by the people of Wangjing St. Hyprian City, and the armed resistance elements would also target this residential area.
, claiming that the rebels of the Hicks Kingdom would also suffer the pain of losing their loved ones. This was the price they should pay for betraying the kingdom, etc. So even the relatives of these officers and soldiers who went shopping and playing on the streets were attacked.
The target was either severely beaten or seriously injured, or was robbed, insulted, or otherwise abused. The residential area was also attacked by gunpowder pack explosions, resulting in dozens of casualties...
The resisters of Saint-Hyprian City in Wangjing had no idea what kind of consequences they were incurring. Their triumphant attack aroused the hatred of the officers and soldiers of the Hicks Returning Division. No one could stop these officers and soldiers and their relatives.
Go to the happy life in the overseas autonomous territories, where they can truly live like individuals instead of humble pariahs.
If the attack is aimed at these officers and soldiers of the Hicks Homecoming Division, they can endure the humiliation. After all, they consider themselves Hicks, and now they have a guilty conscience for helping the troops of the overseas autonomous territories invade their own motherland. Even if they have
It is inevitable that the casualties are their own. Their casualties can be compensated by the autonomous military region, and their families can still immigrate and live a happy and peaceful life. In this way, the sacrifices they have made will be worth it.
However, the attacks against their families and relatives aroused the indignation of all the officers and soldiers of the returning division. Just before they were about to immigrate to the overseas autonomous territories, their relatives suffered such attacks. This was the most heinous crime. So these
The officers and soldiers of the Hicks Homecoming Division have come to their senses. Now they no longer regard themselves as Hicks people, but as members of the Overseas Dominion. They began to actively search for those resistance elements, and even captured the militants.
Shot to death in public on the street...
If the officers and soldiers of the Hicks Homecoming Division had just remained silent when they were scolded by the residents of Wangjing St. Hyprian City when they first entered the city, then whoever calls them traitors or traitors now will only be arrested by them.
If you get a good beating, you are lucky. If you are unlucky, your life may be in danger.
There was such a small territorial nobleman who recognized several officers and soldiers of the returning regiment as their serfs and fellow citizens, and publicly called them bastards and bastards. As a result, this brave territorial nobleman was stabbed with a bayonet by his former serfs and fellow citizens.
Picked to death on the street...
Moreover, after killing the territorial noble, the serfs and territorial citizens who dared to kill their former master even chewed on the body. They said that when they fought desperately for the Kingdom of Hicks on the continent of Nubisia, as a
The lord, however, drove their family out of the castle. Because without them, the lord was unwilling to support these burdensome old and weak people. Their family could only make a living by picking up garbage in the territory, suffering from humiliation.
And they were captured and served in overseas autonomous territories, but their lords ignored their life and death. Why not kill such lords and keep them?
There are many such cases in the Hicks Homecoming Division. With good luck, the officers and soldiers can find their families and relatives. With bad luck, some family members have passed away. At worst, the whole family has died unexpectedly. As time passes,
With news from various places and the arrival of relatives of officers and soldiers, more and more officers and soldiers of the Hicks Returning Division regard the overseas autonomous territories as their true hometown and place of hope. They are willing to shed blood, sacrifice and fight to the end for the overseas autonomous territories...
