Chapter 208: Sleepy Beast (Part 1)

The sharp whistle echoed in the barracks late at night. The strength of a division was assembled. General Philip Sheridan, the commander of the ninth infantry division, vowed to retake the tunnel from the odious monsters. The republic had invested ten This year, we must not accept such a failure. The president cannot, the Congress cannot, and he cannot.
The army strength of the New California Republic has always felt weak, because there are only eight regular infantry divisions and one cavalry division in the whole country, and the others are the guards and volunteer corps of each state. Generally speaking, it is the militia. This is the Federation of the Republic. The system and the relatively stable environment are jointly decided.
But the ninth infantry division is different. As an infantry division that is not in the official establishment, its scale is unprecedented.
The entire division governs 2 infantry brigades, each brigade governs 2 infantry regiments and 1 machine gun battalion.
Each infantry regiment has 3 infantry battalions and 1 machine gun company, each infantry battalion is divided into 4 companies, each company has 6 officers, 250 soldiers, and 1 infantry regiment has 112 officers and 3720 soldiers.
At the same time, the division headquarters directly governs a field artillery brigade, under which there are two light artillery regiments and a heavy artillery regiment, with 24 artillery regiments per regiment, and an engineer regiment.
In addition, there is also a division machine gun battalion, a communication battalion, plus division supplies, health teams, etc.
The division has a total of 979 officers, 27,082 soldiers, 72 artillery, and 260 machine guns, which is about double the number of standard divisions in other countries. For example, the Benedict Empire generally has 12,000 to 15,000 troops per division.
This force gave Sheridan enough confidence to complete this counterattack, because according to the survivors' report, the number of invading Oaks is probably between 200-300, although they are monsters, they can be under the advantage of ten times the number of people. There is no reason for Sheridan to worry.
Heavy artillery can only stay in the camp because of its size. All light artillery, field artillery, heavy machine guns, and all weapons that can provide powerful firepower are brought into the team.
But Sheridan was not an idiot, the tunnel could not accommodate so much troops, and darkness would greatly limit the steps of the attack, so he took a very clever approach, led by four companies, two in front, two in Afterwards, the alternate cover moved forward, each with enough lighting equipment, walked all the way and paved the way, and once met Ok, he decisively went up and exchanged fire.
It is foreseeable that there will be heavy losses in the early days, but Sheridan can accept such losses, just like candles, regardless of body size, the smallest flame can also be consumed, not to mention the fact that Ock still has in his eyes. It's not a "candle", just a whetstone, just enough to sharpen the nine divisions that are getting dull.
"go ahead!"
Accompanied by the officer's loud command, the 500 soldiers split into waves, striding into the tunnel filled with roaring beasts.
The passing of huge bullets marked the beginning of the enemy's actions. In retaliation, human artillery fired back, and the roar of many artillery in unison gave the lieutenant the illusion of being in a minefield.
"Keep calm, if you can't encourage your people, then rely on your people to find encouragement."
A white-gloved hand grabbed Brom's shoulder.
"War and fear make all people equal in the eyes of Kaimon, and brotherhood is the gift it gives to the warriors."
In principle, the ninth division has no enlisted priests, but the faith of the soldiers also needs to be satisfied, so some fanatic officers with more faith will be compatible with the company's enlisted priests. Sullibaru is such a person, but his fanaticism Brom had a headache, but this feeling of conviction could not be changed.
"I hope they get used to this."
Brom muttered. He glanced at the other party's smooth uniform that shone from the tip of the cap to the boots, not knowing how he kept them so clean.
Suli Baru smiled and let go of his hand.
"Can't wait to join the fight? Eliminate monsters? Very good, I praise your courage. Your desire to get close to the enemy to fight is a credibility."
The priest of the army nodded and praised him, but Brom did not tell the other party that he was tired of fear rather than courage, and then pushed him to end things.
A movement from the crowd passed from the head, and the soldiers changed the array to lower their heads.
"It looks like we are ready."
"note!"
Brom said to his command team that beside Sullibaru were soldiers Jerry and Tom, both experienced veterans who had been promoted before, Jerry carrying a rifle with a simple sight, While Tom was carrying a shotgun, the last member was Gaddafi, a medical soldier. It is said that he came from Benedict’s noble family and was also a medical genius. I really don’t know how he was obtained by a low-level infantry regiment like the 77th regiment. Come inside.
The shouting sounded from the mouth of Roy, a herald soldier who came at the end of the team.
"Colonel's new order!"
Hearing this news, Brom and Sullibaru glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
"Soldiers, check your weapons!"
Suli Baru's voice sounded flashy in Brom's ears.
After half a minute, Colonel Jefferson’s order was correctly conveyed—after five minutes of a large-scale assault, one company and three companies rushed directly into the tunnel, and then to see what would happen, the machine gun team had been deployed to the predetermined location.
Brom shook his head, throwing his distractions away from his head, put his whistle to his mouth, took a deep breath of cold air, and waited for a long time he thought.
The shelling stopped.
He blew his whistle hard.
Beep~~~~~~~~~!
The sharp whistle spread around the team without hesitation. The soldiers roared towards the dark place of the tunnel. UU read the book www.uukanshu. Com followed by the firing of huge guns and the screams of personnel.
"Don't stop! Look for cover in front!!"
It didn’t take long for Brom and his command team to turn over the first gate, there were a total of five gates on the entire track, the sixth was still under construction, and each gate was built with a corresponding Defensive facilities, bunkers and barricades were easily lost in the previous raids, and now they need to be recaptured with more blood.
On the way to the deeper, the shells and bullets smashed the gravel, and there were obvious firepower points everywhere in the darkness, such as a bright fire tongue near the bunker 200 meters away.
"In a row, kill that guy!"
Brom shouted at the officer he trusted most. The smoke from the grenades exploded blocking his sight. Dozens of soldiers shot a round of volley at the bunker. When he could not see the target in the smoke Effect, but at least the light disappeared, and Brom felt a little easier to breathe.
"Three consecutive! For glory, advance!"
He yelled that his men followed him out of the cover of the gate. Weapons fired beside him. Every second, someone died very violently, and then the field artillery roared behind the enemy's defense line, suppressing the other side. Of reinforcements.
At least there is no problem now.
Brom thought so.
He and his men had already rushed to a deep position, and behind them a large number of oil lamps and torches relighted the tunnel.
Ok may have retreated?
With such unrealistic illusions, Brom suddenly saw a green behemoth leaping from the collapsed barricade in the darkness, and its roar was as harsh as ever.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
