Hidden Yao Era

After a while, Master Chief Peterson arrived with his own troops, who had already annihilated the soldiers on the enemy position. He asked Castor about the state of the battlefield. Castor showed a somewhat unusual exuberance, and he said: "We have destroyed all the enemy, and the losses are great, and our soldiers are very brave! They are very brave! Shall we go east to support the forts?"

"Well, well, fallen soldiers, I'll call the logistics department to come and converge. You stabilize your emotions, and we're going to support the fortress now. Master Peterson said.

But at this time, the distant exchange of fire became more and more rapid, and from the northeast position appeared sporadically a number of defeated soldiers, some of them mutilated, some of them bleeding, Casto found a soldier who was not seriously wounded, and asked him about the situation at the front. The soldier said: "The front line has basically collapsed, the fortress in the northeast has also fallen, my commander ordered us to retreat, many brothers were killed on the way to retreat, and the enemy's attack this time was very large." "

"How many troops did the other side use to launch this attack?" asked Castor.

"Don't ask him, he's just a soldier, and this time the Pluto rover called in 2 divisions to attack the fortress. Three times as many troops as we are. "A tall female officer suddenly appeared.

Casto looked at the female officer, she was slender, her eyebrows were a little light, but if you looked closely, they were a pair of sword eyebrows, her green eyes looked like a pair of willow leaves from a distance, her goose egg face did not match her slightly dull skin, Casto thought to herself, if she were a fair-skinned girl, it would be perfect. He also noticed that the female officer had a haircut, and her short blue hair and not charming eyebrows and eyes looked very heroic.

Casto said to her, "Which army are you?"

"I'm Captain Amilia, commander of the 5th Battalion of the 7th Division of the Armed Fire Extinguishers, and it stands to reason that I should have asked your number and position first, second lieutenant!" Emilia said with some anger.

"I am the commander of this company, Second Lieutenant Castor Cavendish, Master Peterson aboard the Io-class cruiser New Medici, and we currently have 306 men under our command, and we have just fought the enemy and lost some of them."

Emilia said, "What about the enemy's losses?".

Casto said: "We have all wiped them out, the enemy is very strong, what about the losses on your side?".

"A brigade stationed in the fortress was basically wiped out, we went to support them, and after the collapse of the position, we retreated here, I organized the broken troops, and after counting the number of people, we found that there were only 356 people left. "Things aren't going well on Amilia's side either.

"How much did the enemy who attacked the fortress lose?" asked Castor.

"There should be less than 8,000 of their 20,000 people left, and the division commander asked us to join up with the troops who came to defend this position. Emilia replied.

"This position? It's all in ruins, there's no decent fort at all, how can you defend against the 8,000 troops on the opposite side, and how many troops have retreated from the fort?" asked Master Chief Peterson.

"About 1,000 people, I asked the division commander, there are 2,000 reinforcements including you, and there are reinforcements behind, they will arrive in 3 hours, there are more than 5,000 people, we can hold it. Emilia was confident that she would be able to hold her ground.

"In other words, more than 3,000 of us have to block the attack of the opponent's 8,000 men for three hours, do we have heavy weapons on the opposite side?" asked Master Chief Peterson.

"There are 300 tanks and more than 100 mechs. You don't have any heavy weapons?" asked Amilia.

"The steel bridge was blown up, and it was impossible for us to bring any heavy weapons with us for urgent reinforcements. Casto replied reluctantly.

Master Peterson said, "We're going to have to hold on!"

Emilia said, "Yes, I'm going to gather the defeated troops. The ruins here are not very suitable for defense, and we need to build a defense system with depth. "

Castor nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make arrangements, and I'll let the scouts go to scout the enemy forces in front of us and see how many enemies are coming from our direction." "

Master Peterson continued, "Well, do your defeated troops have heavy weapons?"

Emilia replied, "I'm here in a Silver Bear tank, along with five Panther tanks and six Silver Shark artillery mechs. "

"With twelve mechs and tanks, we have to face an enemy force that is close to several times our own and equipped with hundreds of tanks and mechs, which is not good. "

Emilia said: "I will ask the commander for as many heavy weapons as possible, we are here at the choke point to the rear position, and the commander will understand our request." "

"Well, it's going to be a tough fight. The enemy will definitely attack here in a big way, and we will defend it. "Casto wanted to cheer up Master Peterson.

At this time, a voice message was heard, "Captain Emmytia, have you joined up with reinforcements?".

"Yes, Colonel Liu Mingxun, we have joined up with a reinforcement force, and their commanders are Second Lieutenant Casto and Master Peterson on the New Medici. Emilia replied.

"Alright, Second Lieutenant Castor, Sergeant Peterson, I am your commander at the front, Colonel Liu Mingxun, commander of the 19th Infantry Regiment, and I now order you and your troops to be under the command of Captain Emilia to defend this position together until reinforcements arrive. "Colonel Liu Mingxun gave the battle order.

"Yes, Colonel. "

"Second Lieutenant Casto, it's an emergency at the moment, so you can continue to command Lieutenant Lewis's company for the time being. I just learned that you won a battle. Keep up the good work!" Liu Mingxun's words revealed the fact that Casto was not the original commander of the company.

Master Chief Peterson looked at Castor in some surprise. "I sneaked out and joined Lieutenant Lewis's company, and when I had just encountered the enemy, Lieutenant Lewis was killed, and I contacted Lieutenant General Henderson, who thought that I, as the officer of the highest rank, should take command on an interim basis," Casto said. "

"To tell you the truth, have you ever thought about the consequences of commanding these people? You've never been in contact with the ground battlefield, you've never really fought this kind of street fighting, can you handle the complicated situation? I wondered from the beginning why you could command this force. Now it seems...... Forget it, do what you have to do and cherish the lives of soldiers!" said Sergeant Peterson.

Then Castor, Emilia, and Master Captain Peterson began arranging for his men to set up their positions. Casto looked at the battlefield macro situation system as he set up his position, and he found that the rover was on the offensive in an all-out way. Click on the surveillance screen of every local battlefield, it is a bloody and brutal killing scene, corpses are flying, guns and cannons are constantly sounding, ion cannons, light missiles, and rocket artillery are intertwined to strangle and crush the soldiers, mechas, and tanks on the battlefield.

An hour and a half later, Castor's voice communication came the panicked voice of the scout, "The enemy is coming! They have more than 2,000 people coming in the direction of our position!".

"Send me the live broadcast image of the Microbee drone!" In an instant, Castor saw the situation of the entire battlefield through the visual projection of the helmet, and nearly 10,000 enemy troops were advancing towards the positions of the southern firefighters, of which 2,000 were coming in the direction of Castor. Their well-organized marching array created a great sense of oppression, which Casto felt was even greater than that of a large fleet.

Emilia summoned Castor and Master Peterson to discuss the next move, and they quickly decided to use Castor's troops as the vanguard, Master Peterson's troops to defend the flanks, and Amilia's crippled and defeated troops as reserves to guard the warehouse area.

Subsequently, Emilia, Castor and Peterson began to lead the troops into the front. As soon as they arranged the defense of the soldiers, the enemy attack began, and they began with a round of artillery fire, and Casto ordered the soldiers to open their ion shields and find a place to hide from the shells in the ruins bunker. But even so, more than a dozen soldiers were blown up, and eight of them were killed on the spot.

After the sound of artillery passed, the sound of tracks rubbing against the ground suddenly came from the forward position, and 20 enemy tanks attacked Castor's position, in addition to 10 mechs to attack in unison. Castor ordered his soldiers to attack the tracks of the tanks and the mechanical feet of the mechs to delay the enemy's attack.

As Castor's soldiers focused their fire on tanks and mechs, enemy soldiers began to charge, and more than 300 people rushed forward with hoplites as the vanguard. Castor hurriedly ordered the soldiers to fire shrapnel grenades, killing and wounding enemy infantry.

Castor's command had a certain effect, 8 tanks had their tracks broken, and 6 mechs were beaten to the point of immobility. However, they formed fixed batteries in their place and continued to kill and wound Casto's troops. Castor had no heavy weapons and could not destroy these tanks and mechs. Although the shrapnel killed and wounded nearly 100 enemy soldiers, the almost frantic charge of the enemy soldiers tore through Castor's defenses.

Forced to order the soldiers to retreat, Casto urgently contacted Master Peterson: "Master Peterson, our frontal position has collapsed, can you support us?" "

"Well, I'll have to turn to that Captain Emilia for help. Casto thought a little reluctantly. "Captain Amilia, our frontal position is collapsing, call for reinforcements!".

"Okay, please delay the enemy's attack as much as possible before that!"

"Yes!" Casto retreated and returned fire as the enemy forces were about to surround them, and Casto was cornered around the ruins where the enemy had previously entrenched. Castor suddenly thought of the robot that was still buried in the earth, and he opened the robot operation interface to adjust the intensity of the robot's explosives from digging mode to blasting mode. Castor then proceeded to direct the troops to retreat and instructed his soldiers to bring more explosives and plant them near the rubble. More than 200 enemy troops soon broke through to the vicinity of the ruins. They shouted and charged, their voices rough and tragic, as if they knew that this was their last battle.
