1544 First Day
There is no sensational content. I pray that everyone will stay and fight against the federal invasion.
There was no stirring of outrage, blaming the warlords for making Mariro what he was.
Some are just a little sad and helpless.
It is these ordinary things that make many people become silent in front of the radio.
The Federals are really about to invade.
Some people looked to the south. They couldn't see anything, just the dark sky.
But they know that the Federals... are right there!
Nothing changed overnight, and the next day Mr. Trueman publicly stated that the Marillo administration showed no remorse for any wrong they had done.
He said that to the cheers of the Federals.
"Use gunfire and war to bring justice to our wounded soldiers!"
At 9:35 a.m., the federal government declared war on the Marillo government. The 350,000 federal soldiers on the border entered the Marillo border and moved deeper.
At the same time, Foreign Minister Ponteio accused the federal government in the international community of deliberately causing trouble and invading Marillo.
This is not a battle of revenge, this is the invasion of Chi Guoguo.
Foreign Minister Pengeo demanded that the federal government immediately stop its "stupid actions" and actively apologize and compensate the Marillo government and the injured people. Otherwise, the Pengeo Empire, its dependent countries, and allies will impose sanctions on the federation.
When necessary, special military operations will be used to quell disputes.
Foreign Minister Pengeo's speech immediately triggered a strong counterattack from the Federal Ministry of International Affairs, and the two sides and their allies launched a passionate spat over these issues.
It seemed lively, but those who paid attention realized that maybe this matter was not as simple as they imagined.
Yes, it is indeed not the case. If President Marillo had not been eager for the Penteo people to intervene, the Federation would not have launched a war so early.
If we really want to find a trigger for this war, a sinner who triggered the war, then he must be the President of Marillo!
The international public opinion dispute did not affect this war. Ryan was a little excited after returning here!
He had stayed in Marillo for a long time to work, and he was so familiar with the place that he felt like he was back at home.
If before, they were still fighting for certain people as mercenaries, then this time, they are representing themselves!
He also thought of some of the people in the past. Some had resigned, some had transferred to other departments, and some had stayed here forever.
Suddenly, there was a sharp metal scraping sound in his ears. He shrank his neck, yelled "enemy attack" and hid behind the tank.
The tank also stopped, and the turret slowly turned.
More soldiers hid behind the tank, and then they watched the tank's turret roar, and a stream of heat spurted out from some pressure relief vents, melting some snow on the ground.
With a bang, a building in the distance collapsed under the shelling.
There were also explosions during the collapse. It should be that some traps were triggered.
After a moment of vigilance, the team started on the road again.
This was the first city they faced. He originally thought that the locals would not show any resistance. You must know that they had already frightened the Marillo people in the previous battles.
What is unexpected is that although the resistance is not fierce, it continues.
From time to time, someone makes a cold shot somewhere. The most troublesome thing is that this time the Malillo people are smarter.
They have deployed a large number of mines and other mechanisms in the building, which have dealt a heavy blow to the federal soldiers.
Yes, Ryan has returned to the army, but it is not a requisition, but a secondment!
He is not far away from level three field service now. If he returns to the army now, his hard work in Blackstone Security over the past few years will be in vain.
He ultimately chose to refuse to be drafted because he had served in the military and Lynch had a good relationship with the military, so Ryan was not held accountable.
But Ryan joined the war on secondment.
Almost all of them "veterans" who had participated in the war in Marillo participated in this war. They are familiar with this place and can help the federal army avoid many problems.
Just like now, he led this infantry-tank team into the defensive circle from the southeast of the city. If he hadn't been too familiar with some of the conditions here, the injuries and attrition might have been much more serious than imagined.
At least Ryan knows how to deal with rooms with closed doors.
Instead of walking over and pushing open the door, instead of opening the window, he just threw a grenade or something inside!
War is cruel.
Some people were not used to it at first, but after some non-combat attrition, everyone began to adapt to the horror of this war.
In the distance, several teenagers gathered together, probably in their teens. They stood together, wearing tattered clothes and looking at the army with indifference in their eyes.
The expressions of the soldiers around Ryan became a little... ferocious.
Not long ago, one of them was led into a trap by a teenage boy because he asked for directions and gave him two pieces of candy.
The moment he opened the door, there were two bangs, and two arrows pierced his chest and even came out from behind!
Along the way, similar things happened all the time. Ryan would remind them at first, but then gradually he no longer needed to remind them.
Only blood can make people full of beautiful illusions wake up.
The soldiers raised their guns, and some shouted loudly for the teenagers to get down, while others looked at the surrounding windows and door cracks.
Fighting in the city is really stressful!
You never know which window an enemy will pop out from behind, or which door will have fire suddenly appearing behind it.
Human life is really too fragile.
Looking at these young people, Ryan felt a little emotional.
There is no doubt that these teenagers were eventually dispersed and they ran towards the city center. The soldiers still were not "reasonable" enough. Only when they suffered enough injuries could they become rational. .
In one morning, they had advanced to the center of the city, where fierce resistance was ongoing.
After several advancing teams gathered, Ryan met his companions who also still had jobs.
The two stood at the back of the team, chatting about today's findings.
"Do you have a feeling that their resistance this time is quite tenacious?"
Ryan lit a cigarette. In a war where life could be lost at any time, everyone would look for ways to vent their stress, and smoking was just the most common one.
The other person nodded, "I thought we wouldn't encounter any resistance, but in fact they are very tenacious."
"There's something wrong with this. They shouldn't be so tenacious."
Ryan looked at the area where the firefight was still taking place and motioned to the radio operator to request air fire support.
The Federal Army still needs to strengthen in this regard. They always have a very inexplicable understanding that applying for air support will lose face to the Army.
Who knows why they are so stupid? Maybe it's because they are young people?
Ryan, who has become an "old bastard", doesn't care about this. He will do whatever is convenient and safe.
Ten minutes later, three bombers flew over the area, and they dropped special cluster bombs, a patented product of the Aviation Research Institute.
People could only see a few bombs falling, and then the entire area... suddenly a thick wall of smoke rose up!
It was as if the land there was suddenly lifted up a lot by some terrible force, and some soldiers' eyes widened!
All the sounds of the battle ended with a doomsday explosion a second later, and the entire battlefield became quiet.
After a few more seconds, some pebbles and dust fell from the sky, landing on people's heads, faces, and bodies. They looked at the area that seemed to have been bitten by time and made no sound for a long time. Come.
There were old people, children, and rebels there.
But now, there is no one there.
Ryan whistled twice, "It's more powerful than last time. It seems like it won't be that dangerous this time."
The war is getting easier, that's how Ryan feels.
From the beginning, they only advanced with infantry, but now infantry and tanks advance together, as well as aerial fire support, various saturation bombings...
It seems that all problems are no longer a problem.
The center of the city was destroyed, and some Marillos who remained in the city escaped from the city. The infantry on the periphery took the opportunity to rush forward and captured these people.
Some people did not accept being captured and returned to the land.
The requirement from the rear is to capture as many prisoners as possible. The purpose of capturing these people is not to catch them and then judge them, but to make them work.
It is their job to build railways.
The federal government and the Department of Defense have developed strategies for how supplies will inevitably become problematic as the push continues.
In order to avoid this problem, the best way to solve it from the root is to build railways.
Let the captured Marillo people repair it, and keep repairing according to the progress of the advancement, all the way to the capital of Marillo.
Such supply lines can be of great help to postwar rule and reconstruction.
A large number of locals were taken away, and the entire army subsequently left the city.
They didn't know if there was any danger hidden in the city, and it was obviously stupid to live in the city at this time.
In one day, they advanced more than 20 kilometers northward, and several small border cities were bulldozed.
The Mariro people did not organize any kind of resistance and defense line, and the commanders were not as optimistic as the grassroots soldiers.
Judging from some of the intelligence obtained, while the Mariro people were building a defense line behind them, some people discovered some Pengeo soldiers in Mariro's team.
This may be a test for the Union Army, just as the Navy once was.
They also have to prove themselves by being number one in the world!
