Lord of War

Stalin was not the same as Adolf Hitler.

He is a commoner from a small family, and it is said that his ancestor was a slave at first.

According to the regulations of the Miracle Continent, a person who is a slave for life will be a slave for generations, so his descendants will also be slaves for generations. It's just that the slave ancestor was lucky. He made great contributions in a war and was able to redeem himself as a commoner. That's why he had the status of a commoner as Stalin. Even the name Stalin followed his father's name—it is said that Stalin All men in my ancestors were called by this name.

But the common people certainly don't know about the second, third and so on.

Stalin, who was born in the White Wing Mercenary Corps, grew up among the dead. Naturally, he also participated in many battles and even wars, so his talent and sense of combat are naturally not weak. It's just that Stalin and Altdorf had completely different attitudes on these issues about war, so they naturally evolved two completely extreme tactical styles. to contest.

Many people thought that the relationship between Stalin and Altdorf must have been very bad.

But in fact, the two are very good friends.

In particular, when these two men appeared on the same battlefield at the same time, Altdorf could trust Stalin with his back. Because Altdorf knew that as long as Stalin was guarding his rear, no one would be able to successfully attack his rear unless Stalin died in battle.

At this time, on Huigu hills, the earth has been dyed gray and black.

This is the trace formed by the coagulation of a large amount of blood seeping into the ground.

In just two days and one night, more than 3,000 people died on this land!

The First Infantry Regiment under Stalin alone left more than a thousand corpses here.

A battle loss ratio of one to two, although it sounds pretty good. But you must know that all of this is based on the fact that Stalin's side has fortifications. And the most important point is that the enemy did not expect that Stalin would set up a defensive formation here to ambush, so they suffered a lot when the initial encounter broke out. In addition, there were only 7,000 troops His troops were advancing, but when he came back to his senses and launched a strong attack the next day, Stalin's losses began to become heavy.

According to intelligence, there were only two enemy troops on the way back to the valley and hills this time, a 7,000-strong infantry regiment and a 8,000-strong mixed infantry regiment, which belonged to the three earls. But the front commanders are two of the three earls,

And the relationship between the two seems to be a bit at odds. This is the key that really allowed Stalin to achieve a loss ratio of one to two.

However, this kind of good thing will probably end today.

Because the commanders of the two corps have abandoned the previous discord and began to choose cooperation. After all, they have been blocked here by Stalin for two days and one night, and an army of 15,000 people was blocked by an army of about 4,000 people. Moreover, two days and one night were wasted, which is somewhat a shame for any commander-after all, the outside world will not know that it is only one army that is really in charge of the attack. The discord between the two commanders will not be ignored. The only thing they will see is the incompetence of the two commanders.

Therefore, the most intense war is about to break out.

Bundles of arrows were quickly transported to the front line of the battlefield, and scattered in piles on the small slope piled up next to them. At this time, the soldiers who were already waiting by the side quickly wrapped the cloth strips that had been prepared on the arrow. Then put these arrows into a crock filled with kerosene. It only takes about 20 minutes for the kerosene to be completely absorbed by these white cloth strips, and even soak into the iron arrows. At that time, as long as it is burned on the fire, it will immediately become a flaming arrow.

This kind of pre-war preparations was already familiar to Stalin's First Infantry Regiment.

As an army that is good at defense, although Stalin has only 4,000 people - at this time there are less than 3,000 people left, but this is also an army that is really good at mixed warfare.

There is a big difference between a mixed combat army and a mixed army. Generally, a mixed army means that there are more than three types of arms in the army, so that it can be used in various combat situations. The mixed warfare legion usually refers to a legion composed of soldiers who are good at using a variety of weapons, just like Clover's Cecilia Guards, it is a very typical mixed warfare legion.

Although the First Infantry Regiment is not as good as the Cecilia Guards Regiment, the two are essentially the same. It's just that, unlike the elite level of the Cecilia Guards that Klov required, Stalin had only two requirements for the First Infantry Regiment: the ability to quickly and skillfully set up a defensive shield formation, and all members must be good at shooting Skill. Although today's First Infantry Corps has more than a thousand recruits, which greatly affects the overall combat effectiveness of the entire army, it is not a problem to be responsible for some pre-war work like now, and even if it is shooting, the coverage strike within a hundred meters is still Competent.

Of course, Stalin didn't dare to let these recruits put up the shield formation.

In the previous two days and one night of fighting, they had already used nearly 5,000 arrows, and the only 4,000 arrows left at this moment were the last stocks of the First Infantry Regiment, and many of them even passed It was only recollected after recycling the battlefield.

In fact, no matter whether it was their First Infantry Regiment, Second Infantry Regiment, or Altdorf's Infantry and Cavalry Regiment, they had no logistical supplies in this counterattack against the Chirav Territory. It's not that they don't want to, but that the battle situation really doesn't allow them to pull out a logistics line. Of course, there is no longer any military material inventory at the military base with steel wings, so how many military combat supplies do they bring out when they go to war? There is only so much, once all these materials are used up, then they will have nothing left.

These tasks were completed within a short period of time, and soon someone started digging a small shallow pit in the ground.

This shallow pit is only about a few millimeters, which is almost equivalent to inserting a long sword into the ground to make a hole, but the width is more than two centimeters. Immediately afterwards, soldiers began to carefully pour the remaining kerosene into this shallow pit. However, because of the hilly land, the kerosene poured at the beginning would definitely penetrate deeper into the geology. Therefore, repeated coverage is required to ensure that the kerosene in this shallow pit is in a normal state.

This is a rather tedious job.

But no one sighed. They all knew that these pre-war preparations were the greatest guarantee for their continued survival.

Seeing that the pre-war work was in full swing on the entire battlefield, the worry on Stalin's face remained undiminished.

Stalin was a rather handsome young man, but he had no time to tidy up his appearance after several days of rushing and fighting. At this moment, the new beard and messy hair on his face made him look a bit sloppy and haggard . The leather armor on his body also has several traces of knife and sword cuts, especially on the left shoulder, where there is a big hole. From the damage of the leather armor, it can even be seen that there are still white wounds wrapped around it. bandage.

Stalin's left shoulder. Obviously injured.

"Have you prepared an ambush on the battlefield ahead?" Stalin asked.

"Yes, my lord, the layout has already begun when the battlefield was cleaned last night. According to your request, my lord, I have chosen to disperse the layout as much as possible."

"Very good." Stalin wiped his face with his hand. However, because it is a habitual movement, the left hand is slightly more forceful, which involves the injury on the shoulder. This made him frown slightly. The bright red blood had seeped out of the bandage, but he didn't say anything, but nodded slightly, "It's already the fifth day, as long as we survive these two days and one night, we can evacuate in the morning of the day after tomorrow.  … hold onto!"

For Stalin's words. Everyone chose to be silent, and no one answered.

"What's wrong?" Stalin felt the stagnation of the atmosphere, turned his head and asked in a deep voice.

"My lord, more than a dozen people escaped last night." At this moment, they were still standing behind Stalin. They all belong to Stalin's direct descendants. Faced with Stalin's serious question at this moment, someone finally said helplessly, "I also found that there were nearly a hundred people missing in the morning." After a little silence, the officer added again: "It's all without Recruits who have been on the battlefield."

"Where is the supervisory team?" Stalin asked.

"Last night's battle was too intense. In the end, the supervising team also went into battle in person, basically..."

He didn't need to say anything about the latter, because the answer was already very obvious.

"From now on, you will take over the post of Captain of the Supervisory Team!" Stalin turned and pointed to one of the officers and said, "Any deserter or anyone who leaves the team without permission will be killed!"

"My lord..." Hearing Stalin's words, the newly appointed captain of the supervising team did not show any joy on his face.

"Speak." Stalin glanced at the other party.

"My lord, based on our current situation, even if the lightning fire area is arranged according to your order, those thunder fires are all scattered. Although this can cover a wider area, the threat to the enemy is much smaller." The officer said straightforwardly, "My lord, even if we can block this wave of attacks, what about the next wave? What about the next wave? My lord! The enemy's strength is five times that of ours. As long as they If we simply launch a general attack, we will not be able to stop the enemy, after all, this is not a town or a dangerous place, and there is not even any natural barrier to use!"

"So?" Stalin asked back, his face still as calm as before.

"My lord, while we still have a choice, let's retreat first!" The officer gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "As long as we ignite the fire zone and fight and retreat along the way, maybe we can't stop the enemy, but At least we can delay the advance of the enemy....My lord, I am willing to lead my team to stay behind, please leave immediately, my lord, and start to set up a second line of defense along the way!"

Docking tactics.

This is a common retreat tactic in the face of a very large scale and number of enemy forces, leaving a part of the wounded to break up, and retaining the living force to retreat or break through. Of course, depending on the situation, the people who stay behind are not only wounded soldiers, but also other options such as cannon fodder, second-line troops, etc. There is only one purpose, and that is to keep the main force intact.

Stalin has stood here for two days and one night. Counting the three-day itinerary before, it means that he has completed two-thirds of the order Reina gave him to stay here for a week, so even if Stalin retreats at this moment Not a sin. After all, as long as the following tail-docking tactics can successfully stop the enemy's two-day journey, Stalin's mission will be considered complete.

"Your current status is the captain of the supervisory team. What kind of behavior do you say when you say such a thing? You should know it yourself." Stalin said blankly, "This time, I will pretend that I didn't hear it. If you do this again If you say or think so, then I will deal with you according to military law."

"grown ups!"

"I, Stalin, the head of the 1st Infantry Regiment, will stand firm here to the end! Fight to the death and never retreat!"

Several officers looked at each other, and then the captain of the new supervising team finally bowed his head and saluted: "My lord, I will be here. I will advance and retreat with you!"

Hearing his comrades say this, several other officers also said in unison: "My lord, I will be here to advance and retreat with you!"

The voices of everyone were not very loud, but their attitude and tone were very firm. Obviously, they didn't say these words casually in a perfunctory way. Some soldiers who were relatively close, after hearing what these officers said. They all looked back in surprise. Although the faces of these young soldiers are still tired and stained, and there are even some scars left by the fierce battles on their bodies, but the eyes of each of them are very bright. It is obvious that they have not given up their desire for life. and pursuit.

Stalin stood a few steps forward, and then stepped onto a high platform piled up with wooden boxes in one fell swoop, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

He said: "Gentlemen! I think some of you should have known, last night and morning. Some cowards have escaped! They have betrayed our trust! They have betrayed our friendship! They have betrayed their faith and Promise! I think you should already know that the enemy's strength is more than five times that of ours, so it is very normal for you to be afraid. In fact. I am also afraid. No one will face death without fear ..."

"But so what!" A passionate roar suddenly came from Stalin's mouth, "Can we make excuses for our cowardice because of fear? Could it be that because of fear, we can choose to run away and let these enemies attack our brothers Is it the retreat of the troops?"

"No! We must face up to our inner cowardice! We can stop the enemy's footsteps here and give them a head-on blow! Let them know that our First Infantry Regiment is powerful!... Tell me, you are imagining a hero The same, fight bravely here to defend your homeland, or hide in a dark corner like a coward, and let your enemies laugh at you! Tell me!"

"Like a hero!" A roar rang out.

"Like a hero!"

"Like a hero!"

Soon, several roars sounded one after another, followed by thunder roars gathered together.

"Very good!" Stalin raised his hand and pressed it down. The thunderous roar gradually subsided, "My dearest soldiers! I, Stalin, will advance and retreat with you here! Please remember, it is not you and me. Advance and retreat together! It's me, advancing and retreating with you! You are not only my pride, but also the pride of the First Infantry! I believe that you will become the entire Panda Territory, and even our lord, Sean. Connery's pride!"

"Oh!" The excited and passionate roar sounded again.

Just at this time, a melodious and heroic bugle sound was suddenly sounded.

Immediately afterwards, the battle horns sounded one after another.

This is the bugle sound of the Dabiang army launching a general offensive.

Obviously, the enemy has no intention of continuing to entangle here. They intend to rely on a full-scale attack to completely wipe out Stalin who is blocking their way forward.

"The enemy has decided to launch a general offensive, tell me, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!"

"I'm afraid." Stalin's sudden words made everyone stunned, "but as I said, so what? I face up to my inner cowardice, I'm afraid, but I won't just be a coward like that ! The enemy is five times as big as ours, so what? As long as I can kill five people, this is completely enough to offset the opponent's advantage! If I can kill six people, I can even share the pressure for my comrades!"

The eyes of all the soldiers were shining brightly, and some people who originally showed nervous expressions on their faces became extremely fanatical at this moment.

Yes, even if the enemy is five times our side, so what?

As long as I can kill five people, wouldn't the enemy's advantage be gone?

If I alone can kill ten people, what about fifteen?

What every soldier thinks at this moment is not how tragic and difficult the next battle will be. The only thing they are thinking at the moment is how to bury five people, or even six or seven people, before they die, so as to relieve the pressure on their companions.

Standing on the wooden box, Stalin roared again: "Let today's battle make our reputation as the Pandaland Wall!"

"Wall of Panda Collar!"

"Wall of Panda Collar!"

Stalin jumped out of the wooden box, then stepped forward quickly, snatched a herald's horn, and blew it suddenly.

"Woo--"

The bugle, which also represented the attack of the whole army, was also sounded on the side of Stalin's army.

Soon, someone lit the shallow pit filled with kerosene with a torch, and the raging flames turned into a fire dragon roaring out.

"All archers, light the fire—"

All the archers standing in a row behind this line of fire took out some arrows that had been soaked in kerosene, and then put them on the line of fire in front of them to burn, and the arrowheads of all arrows were immediately swallowed by the flames.

"Arrow up—"

All archers put their arrows on their bows, but they don't draw the strings.

After waiting for a while, a mighty phalanx of enemy troops finally appeared in front of them.

The distance between the two sides is constantly shrinking. When the distance between each other finally shortened to 300 meters, the herald finally shouted again: "Get ready—"

This time, the archers finally drew the bowstring and began to raise the angle.

"put!"

A roar.

Rockets flew out of the sky.

Then, on the enemy's advancing position, a series of explosions finally sounded!

The Leihuo, which had been prepared for a long time, finally fully revealed their ferocity and rage in this final fierce battle! (To be continued..)
