Alien Empire Total War

"General, why are you here? The front line is dangerous, you'd better go back to the rear."

Listening to the persuasion of Gregney Baldwin, the commander of the 1st Infantry Regiment, who had recovered from the wound, Charlie smiled slightly and waved his hand to indicate that it was all right.

He looked at the rebel front line that was still under construction in the distance, and asked his trusted subordinate, "Baldwin, what do you think of the rebel's fortifications?"

"It's a little tricky, but only a little tricky," Baldwin replied without hesitation. "The dirt wall will undoubtedly block the soldiers' bullets, so if I'm in command, I won't let the soldiers fight the enemy. Instead, order a charge directly and resolve the battle with a bayonet."

"I think the same as you, but I'm not going to waste our precious troops on the way to charge."

"What do you mean?" Baldwin wondered.

"The old rule, use artillery to open the way first, and then order the charge." Charlie said, pulling Baldwin to look behind him, pointing to the crowd of various clothes not far away and said: "I brought you a support army, A reliable reinforcement."

Baldwin was puzzled at first, but when he took a closer look, his face became strange. Aren't those people the rebel prisoners of war captured in the previous battles, how could they become trustworthy?

Charlie saw his doubts, he explained: "I think you can also see their origins, yes, they were recruited from prisoners of war, and I promised them that as long as they can kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds on the battlefield , they can get rid of their status as prisoners of war and join our army."

"To this end, I have set up a new disciplinary battalion. In the future, in addition to the surrendered prisoners of war, soldiers and deserters in our army who violated military regulations will be sent to the disciplinary battalion, and they will be cleared of their crimes through combat until they are eligible for reinstatement. back to the army."

Of course, there is no temptation for the system soldiers. They just follow Charlie's orders unswervingly. However, it is impossible for all the system soldiers in the disciplinary battalion. By example, it can also curb the possibility of defections of soldiers in the correctional battalion.

These system soldiers are just the base, and as the battle goes on, more and more prisoners of war will be added.

"The Punishment Camp!"

Baldwin quickly understood the role of setting up this battalion. In addition to deterring soldiers, it could also form a pao (hui) force for our army to perform dangerous tasks.

Thinking of this, he suddenly understood.

"How about their numbers and equipment?" he asked.

Charlie didn't answer, he made a gesture, and the staff officer behind him, Siller, stepped forward and handed the document to Baldwin. After the latter took the document and checked it, the expression on his face changed again.

He raised his head, looked at Charlie in astonishment, and said, "General, there are 864 troops in this disciplinary battalion. Without strong control, if they turn their backs and attack us together with the enemy, then the Didn't you help the enemy?"

"Don't worry Baldwin, they won't betray them." Charlie said confidently, if there was no system, he would be as worried about this problem as Baldwin, but he specially recruited musketeers from the system and accepted these Military training prisoners of war are converted into system soldiers, and with the blessing of the system, there is no need to worry.

Seeing Charlie's oath, Baldwin opened his mouth but didn't say anything. He also knew that he might not be able to convince Charlie, so he could only pay more attention to the correctional battalion when the war started.

Then, he looked at the soldiers of the disciplinary battalion. The soldiers were all uniformly equipped with captured rifles with bayonets. If they only looked at their mental appearance, their performance was actually comparable to that of the elite battalion under his command.

It's no wonder, after all, both battalions were converted from musketeers.

Seeing that Baldwin didn't speak, Charlie continued: "Each soldier in the correctional battalion is equipped with three bullets. Their mission is to be the vanguard, tearing a hole in the enemy's front line, so that our soldiers can expand the victory."

After speaking, he patted Baldwin on the shoulder and said, "Get ready, I will hand over the command of the disciplinary battalion to you, I hope to break through the enemy's front before dark, and take Naken Castle within two days. ."

"As ordered, General!" Baldwin said with a military salute.

……

A few hours later, the howitzers deployed in the rear made a deafening roar again. Twenty blooming shells roared past the lines of the soldiers of the 7th Brigade and flew to the rebel positions hiding behind the simple earthen walls. After several passes. After the shelling, the artillerymen made the leads that ignited the shells to be the same length, so most of the shells exploded in mid-air before they landed, using shrapnel to kill the soldiers below.

At the same time, the artillery of each regiment also roared, and the dark solid bullets slammed into the earth wall in front of the rebels with a sharp air-piercing sound, smashing the earth wall directly, and then smashing the soldiers hiding behind. smashed into pieces.

Not to be outdone, the few rebel artillery pieces assigned to this place started fighting back~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but the rebel artillery positions that were exposed were quickly locked and focused by the artillery of the Seventh Brigade, and were destroyed immediately. Those who escaped the disaster also hurriedly loaded the artillery and moved the position.

The trembling rebel soldiers hiding behind the earth wall relived the terrifying shelling again. After the sound of the cannons gradually ceased, the survivors finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked around boldly. It became a mess, with the bodies of rebel soldiers everywhere, those who survived struggling to call for help, and pain, miserable groans and wailing filled the position.

The blood flowing from the corpse stained the yellow soil, and many earthen walls were pierced by cannonballs and collapsed. The stumps, arms, and flesh of the smashed people were mixed with them, just like purgatory on earth.

Before the rebel soldiers could recover from their extreme shock, the familiar horn of attack suddenly sounded in front of them, followed by a group of soldiers wearing the same clothes as them, slowly advancing towards them with rifles.

"The enemy is coming, prepare for battle!"

"Reorganize the front! Check your guns!"

There was no time to think about why the people on the opposite side looked so familiar. The surviving soldiers hurriedly stood behind the earth wall again under the loud shouts of the officers, and began to check the condition of the rifles in their hands and loaded the rifles with ammunition.

Opposite them, Gilfi Dole, who had defected to the Seventh Brigade, led the soldiers of the Correctional Battalion to attack. Charlie originally wanted to assign him as the commander of the artillery regiment, but Dole's specialty was infantry artillery. , He didn't know much about howitzers, so he didn't have much use value for Charlie. Instead, he was appointed as the battalion commander of the disciplinary battalion.

"Attack! Soldiers of the Punishment Battalion, wash away our crimes with victory!"
