Chapter 894: Death, but still honorable
That general of the Expeditionary Corps had been planning today’s battle for a long time, many people thought that the barbarians were ignorant of the Central Plains, but these people didn’t know that long ago, they had that Experiment to help them finish surveying the map of the North and inform them of what the Central Plains were really like.
Therefore, the Expeditionary Corps had started the war on two fronts at the beginning, making the people of the Central Plains think that they were arrogant enough to intend to start an all-out war and attack two consortia at the same time.
But they had planned from the start to blunder from Wang, and then come to attack the Spark first.
After the Fire Seed was broken, the existing civilization and technology of the Fire Seed would be used by them, the 176th Massacre would not continue to happen, and they would enslave the Fire Seed’s dependents before the barbarians became the Noble Race.
At that time, when they fight with Wang again, they not only have strong physical qualities, but also sit on the advanced weapons of the Fire Race.
Therefore, defeating the Fire Seed was an extremely important part of the Expeditionary Corps’ battle plan, and there was no room for error.
However, at first, that general of the Expeditionary Corps was still more inclined to attack Wang first, but the experimental body somehow convinced him, and eventually formulated this battle plan.
As for what the experimental body actually wanted, no one knew.
The Expeditionary Corps had already launched a charge, and if Fireseed had set up a defense line early to block it with firepower, then the Expeditionary Corps was bound to suffer heavy losses even if they were victorious.
But the problem was that the brown bear had fallen into a very violent state due to the painful loss of its cubs, and it was almost as if it didn’t spare its own life to desperately attack the Spark troops.
The Spark killed most of the bears with their heat weapons, but their defense formation was also in disarray.
So when the expeditionary corps arrived, they could only engage in close combat with the brutes, the deterrent effect of firearms was greatly reduced, after all, the expeditionary corps mixed with the kindling troops, it was difficult for the soldiers to ensure that they were not shooting at their own teammates.
The combat uniforms of the Firebloods were earth-colored camouflage, while the barbarians were clad in dusty animal skins, and the armies of both yellow and grey were limitless until they spread to the end of the horizon.
When the two sides collided, it was as if two very different torrents of waves had collided.
A kindred soldier ran out of ammunition and directly drew out his belt knife to fight with the barbarian, but the barbarian’s physical quality was too much higher than his, only to see that after the barbarian dodged his long knife, he actually pinched his neck with one hand and lifted him up hard to use as a shield.
The Spark Soldier’s face was suffocated red, but before he died, he was still trying to struggle to swing his sword to slash the barbarian.
Seeing that he was still struggling, the barbarian axed him in the head.
This is just a micro micro like dust in the war, but this dust may be a husband, a father, a son, the family is still waiting for him to go back to reunion, but he can never go back.
Carrying ammunition to be shot out, they have been through this battle for several hours, there are a large number of ammunition in front of the barbarian old man are wasted.
It was just that the Spark Soldiers, faced with such a predicament, were going to fight to the end as long as they hadn’t received the order to retreat!
An even taller barbarian suddenly rushed out from amongst the crowd, and between his wide openings, he was able to lift the Fire Seed soldiers off one by one.
But those soldiers struggled to get up from the ground, once again picking up the waist sword of an unknown dead colleague on the ground, limping and rushing towards the barbarian.
Then they died of exhaustion.
Before dying the soldier recalled when he had just enlisted in the army, each fire soldier had to touch the fire symbol on his chest and swear: “From today, I become an honorable soldier of the fire troops, I will fight for the survival of the human fire, I will fight for the dawn of the human fire.”
“From this day forward, I voluntarily give up my name to watch over the Middle Kingdom.”
Yes, everyone joined the Fire Seed in order to watch over the Central Plains, everyone is here to throw their heads and blood for the great ideal, there are no regrets.
More and more Spark soldiers were killed in battle, but the generals of the Expeditionary Corps suddenly realized that the Spark troops were like they couldn’t be killed and routed, if it was an ordinary troop that died so many people, it would have already started to flee!
When the two sides met each other, the victory of the Expeditionary Corps was almost guaranteed, but why didn’t these Central Plains people retreat? Did they think they could beat the expeditionary corps?
At this moment, a combat staff on the command vehicle said to P5031 urgently, “Sir, retreat, please order a retreat, the warriors can’t carry on any longer, you won’t be able to leave if you don’t!”
However, P5031 laughed miserably as he sat in the command vehicle, “Go? Where to go? I never thought that I would one day go over my head for the sake of profit, it’s good that the barbarian woke me up.”
In the command vehicle, the combat staff and the adjutant froze on the spot, they didn’t know why P5031 suddenly said this.
In the silence, P5031 suddenly stood up and straightened his uniform, as if he had figured something out, his whole body perked up again.
P5031 said to the combat staff, “Get me the full communications channel.”
“Roger,” a combat staff officer immediately pressed the red button on the console.
P5031 said into the comm channel, “Gentlemen I’m sorry for my poor decision making that has put you all in this predicament.”
“I was tempted to say that the Infantry Brigade would take the rear and the rest of you would retreat together so that maybe I could survive, but I couldn’t say it because I knew that you guys would die in humiliation in the pursuit and that the barbarians were prepared and wouldn’t let us leave.”
“So, remember your oaths, gentlemen, that today you and I fight for the survival of the human flame, and that the Sixth Division hereby swears to hold back the enemy for half an hour, to buy time for the other main forces to retreat.”
“In this way, although our Sixth Division is gone, the other main forces still have a chance!”
“When they retreat to the Great Wall, they will definitely find another opportunity to avenge us.”
“Thank you for your trust over the years, gentlemen, now die here with me in battle, though we die, we are still honorable.”
“From this day forward, I voluntarily give up my life to sleep here for a long time, and thereafter be here in the wilderness day and night, watching over the Central Plains together with you all.”
With that, P5031 turned off the communication channel to fetch his saber and walked out of the command vehicle.
He smiled at the adjutant beside him in high spirits and said, “Sorry about that, please inform the other troops to retreat quickly, we, the Sixth Division, will buy them this time to retreat.”
After saying this, he actually raised his sword and killed in the direction of the Expeditionary Corps!
The adjutant was dumbfounded for a few seconds as he hurriedly contacted the various units while also fetching his own sword, as did the combat staff.
Everyone knew that at this moment the battle formation was in chaos, command was no longer meaningful, all they did was to burn their lives like a starfire, so that the soldiers, in their despair, would have the strength behind that despair.
A veteran looked at the back of his own commander charging and killing, the words just spoken by P5031 echoed in his ears, he suddenly laughed and cursed, “Fuck, it’s not bad to think about dying here, kill!”
“Let’s go then, buy some time for those brother units behind us to retreat!”
“Kill!”
