Chapter 417.2: War and Civil Affairs
An hour later, the army of the north was only 100 meters away from the trenches of Central's forces.
— Fully focus on the trenches! Destroy these bedbugs!
The machine guns of all the tanks began to pour water on the enemy positions. At such close range, the tanks ' heavy machine guns were like machines for destroying all living things.
*Ding-ding-ding...*
Dirt and dirt began to fill the trenches, and now Central's infantry didn't dare raise their heads at all.
The tanks began to completely overwhelm the enemy's manpower in the trenches, while moving forward, and after ten minutes the shelling stopped.
— Infantry! Olivia shouted, and all the tanks stopped moving forward, and the infantry behind them began to water everything in front, using the tanks as cover, after which the trenches that previously belonged to Central's forces began to be cleared by the army of the North.
The most terrible period of any war has come — a direct confrontation between the infantry of the two sides.
Although the offensive power of infantry could not be compared to the offensive power of tanks, it was the infantry that played an important role in any war because of their large numbers and mobility.
Behind one of the tanks, Su Xiao, with the Spider Queen in his hands, was looking through the scope of his sniper rifle and carefully observing the trenches. The scope of his sniper rifle had been activated a long time ago and should have returned to the rifle's body soon, but in that time, he had already lost count of the machine gunners and gunners killed.
There were only five bullets left in the magazine of his sniper rifle.
Each such bullet was worth 50 Heaven coins, so Su Xiao didn't shoot ordinary soldiers.
The Northern army of more than 50,000 soldiers completely destroyed the defense line of the Central forces of more than 20,000 soldiers.
In just over an hour, enemy infantry had appeared in their trenches, and by that time a fifth of Central's soldiers had either been killed or had one foot in the grave.
Through his scope, Su Xiao soon saw the figure of an enemy general, a colonel, who was on the roof of the church. He was watching the battle from a very good vantage point and was not afraid of anything, as he was out of range of the northern Army's cannons.
*Pum*
The bullet that flew out from the Spider Queen didn't even move Su Xiao's body, but that didn't mean that this sniper rifle suddenly became much weaker — its bullets still carried a huge amount of power and flew towards the target point at a great speed.
Blood suddenly spurted out in all directions on the roof of the church.
Colonel Centrala has lost his head.
*Pum-pum*
Two more thudding shots rang out. The colonel's adjutant and lieutenant Colonel were killed.
Three shell casings fell to the ground. Su Xiao's shots were almost invisible amid the cacophony of this battle, but with three shots of his own, he killed three enemy generals.
A large number of planes were shot down, and those that were able to survive flew towards the capital.
The army of the north has already broken the main defense of the city, now it's a small matter..
This war was different from what was shown in the original story. Although Central's army command was weak and Central's soldiers were not prepared for something like this, the army of the North still suffered losses.
The two sides fired at each other with real guns, and although one side suffered fewer losses and the other more, this battle confirmed one sad fact — any battle was not complete without a large number of victims..
----
Five hours later, the gunfire in the trenches had completely subsided.
The remnants of the resistance were destroyed.
One of the most important battles came to an end.
— A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A!!!
— Save me, save me...
— Where's my hand?! Has anyone seen my hand??!
The howling of the wounded and the low voices of the dying filled the air.
Such scenes always occurred after the battle was over.
No one was left unscathed because of this battle, and if there was, it was only one huge dog.
But Bubtny was currently performing a feat — he was gnawing on an enemy tank!
A few soldiers looked helpless as they knew that this dog belonged to Su Xiao, so they could only ignore it, and besides, it was still an enemy tank.
Bubtny had long wanted to scratch his teeth and claws on something, and since pancakes and bones had long failed to satisfy his passion, when he saw the tank, he knew that his time had come.
Su Xiao walked over to Olivia, who was counting the number of victims.
— How many soldiers died?
— Over four thousand, " Olivia's voice was low. They were all her subordinates.
Killing more than 10,000 enemy soldiers and losing more than 4,000 in the process sounded like an incredible feat for one side's command, but if one personally saw the four thousand corpses in front of them, one would know that it was a terrible, heavy loss.
The smell of burning flesh, the smell of blood, dirt, gunpowder smoke... All this mixed together, creating a unique smell of war..
After seeing the scene of this battlefield, Su Xiao didn't feel particularly uneasy. Such wars were very tragic, as, in fact, this battle was similar to one of the battles of the Second World War from his world, but perhaps nothing could compare with the battles in the world, which was at the level of development of edged weapons with the transition to the use of the first prototypes of firearms.
And Su Xiao knew that being a part of Paradise, he would see a similar scene more than once in the near future, but in different settings. War with the use of cold weapons, modern weapons, weapons from the future... Each of these wars will undoubtedly demonstrate all the horrors of war.
But the war didn't end there. The army of the north has only opened a direct path to the city.
At the entrance to the city, a body was suspended and a sign was nailed to it with the inscription: "This is what will happen to those who raised the uprising».
This man was previously the mayor of the Eastern City and refused to help the forces of Central, because of which he was immediately killed without trial and then abused his body..
— Don't shoot, I'm not a soldier, " a priest with a cross in his hands stood in front of the body.
— Hands up! One of the northern army soldiers shouted loudly and pointed his rifle at the priest.
— Are there any Central soldiers left in the city? Su Xiao asked and stepped forward.
— Yes, and they are...
*Boom-boom-boom!..*
Shots rang out from the windows of one of the houses.
Several holes appeared in the priest's body and he fell to the ground.
— In the houses of rats, infantry, for tanks!
The soldiers quickly hid behind the tanks, and dozens of tanks began to slowly advance, wiping out any resistance.
In the city, instead of retreating, the soldiers of the Central Army remained.
In the eyes of the ordinary soldiers from Central, the army of the North was rebels and revolutionaries, but they didn't know that all the top ranks of Central's military were cooperating with Father for the sake of gaining immortality.
They didn't care about the lives of their soldiers and did what was required of them.
Naturally, Father wasn't going to make these people immortal. He just used them, and that's it.
Now the army of the north will have to clear the city and establish control over the railway station.
Without trains, it will be simply impossible to transfer such a large amount of equipment and forces in the shortest possible time.
