As an advisor to the Enclave, Marshall is quite competent. He retired from the U.S. Army as a major before Cataclysm and is now in his fifties.
After the cataclysm, the "Enclave" easily controlled all the important cities in the southern United States, and naturally concentrated the population in the cities. As a result, the nuclear bombs washed the ground, the world changed color, and the strength of the 'Enclave' almost returned to the Stone Age.
However, Lao Mei's family background is extremely solid, even if all the big cities in the country have been washed, the "Enclave" still has a lot of personnel and supplies left by relying on various shelter facilities specially prepared for nuclear wars.
Marshall was sent to Cuba under such circumstances, because the "Enclave" did not want to see the "Aurora Legion" integrate various countries in the Caribbean Sea during his recovery period. To put it bluntly, he came here specifically to be a shit stirrer.
After arriving in Havana, Marshall was actively preparing for the attack on the 'Aurora Legion'. He personally led the team to destroy the front-line guard posts and fortifications of the 'Aurora Legion', and even played an ambush and counter-ambush with the butcher once, and both sides suffered a bit.
Afterwards, the butcher yelled that Zhou Qingfeng should personally lead the team to carry out an infiltration attack, saying that the enemy had a very powerful master. It's just that Zhou Qingfeng is the commander of the majestic army now, how could he just go to the front line to fight life and death?
But now, Marshall still tasted the sharpness of Zhou Qingfeng's blow. The small town of Haruko has been half surrounded by thousands of soldiers, surrounded by three ques and one, leaving no way out. As the commander in chief, Zhou Qingfeng arranged a supervising team, which was also used to chase after the enemy when they escaped.
As the front-line commander, Fedro made a move, and thousands of skirmishers charged. These soldiers were all extremely excited by stimulants. They trotted into the attack position, and rushed out when they were 300 meters away from the town, and dragged two hundred meters behind the first wave of skirmishers, and another 400 meters, followed by two skirmish lines of the same number.
Wave charge, a no-frills attack method, is suitable for cannon fodder troops with average technical and tactical skills who have taken medicine. Just charge forward together, and spray bullets when you see someone on the opposite side. The first line of skirmishers is not used to kill the enemy, it is entirely to expose the enemy's firepower.
Nieto also took part in the battle as an artillery spotter. When he saw the machine gun on the opposite side spewing tongues of flames, killing the charging soldiers like cutting wheat, all he could do was to immediately report the position of the opponent's firepower point to the artillery behind.
A dozen heavy mortars hurled shells at the town across a hill. Often a few shells can smash down a house in the town or blow up a barricade, and the firepower points inside the house and behind the barricade will naturally be blown up to the sky.
On the front line, Sergeant Li Cha took his son, and the two sisters Irene and Ellie as mobile sniper teams have been wandering around. Two sniper rifles of different calibers serve as precision firepower,
Specifically used to knock out some high-value targets during the rumble of guns.
Zhou Qingfeng didn't even show up, and this shot knocked Marshall and Dabin out of their bodies. The firepower points they arranged in the small town received fire from all sides, and they obviously smashed the opponent's first skirmish line into a sieve in two or three minutes, but the subsequent two skirmish lines continued to approach at high speed.
"We can't fight like this, the loss is too great." Dabin found that in the blink of an eye, most of the twenty or so machine gun positions he had arranged on the outer positions were knocked out by the opponent's mortars. In the thick gunpowder, he could feel the chilling killing intent under the opponent's fierce offensive.
This is fighting consumption, the competition is who is more ruthless! However, all the soldiers on the other side took drugs, and their brains became impulsive, and they didn't care about death at all.
Marshall also found that the situation was not quite right. The barrels of the heavy mortars of one of his companies were already hot, and they couldn't stop the wave charge on the opposite side. Seeing that the opponent's 3,000 people were killed from all directions, he could only grit his teeth and order: "Retreat the soldiers fifty meters to avoid the opponent's artillery fire."
In such a short time, the three waves that launched the charge rushed into the town one by one. Half of the more than 3,000 people who originally set out fell on the way to the impact, and the firepower of modern machine guns can kill people very quickly. But even so, the remaining half rushed into the town to meet the enemies behind the fortifications.
Seeing this scene, Rom commanded a 500-member supervising team to drive forward in a fire assault vehicle. They are the main force in this battle, and their purpose is to grab a place in the small town and take root to facilitate subsequent attacks.
Fedro, the frontline commander, was not at all happy to see his subordinates rushing into Haruko easily. It was a great irony to tell him that there was nothing to brag about in this battle. He ordered indifferently: "Put into the follow-up reserve team and completely defeat the opponent."
At this moment, the town was already engaged in chaotic battles from street to house, and the two sides fought extremely bloody hand to hand. The drugged-up soldiers were going crazy, and the officers commanding them were retreating quietly, leaving these cannon fodder to die, anyway, they could no longer accept orders.
But Marshall and Dabin finally took a breather. Relying on more than a dozen armored vehicles and using buildings as natural positions, they smashed the cannon fodder of the Legion that rushed in one by one into slag.
Among these armored vehicles, the Julio team driving a BTR-60 wheeled assault gun played a brave role. They escaped from Zhou Qingfeng's air attack by chance last time, but now they fired grenades from the 100mm artillery, easily blasting any opponent that appeared in front of them into the sky.
And when the gunfire stopped and the smoke cleared, the entire town of Haruko was bombed into ruins. A large number of building walls fell down on the street, and twisted corpses were mixed in, mixed with a lot of ash.
Captain Julio nervously looked out from the observation hole. Even though his opponents were all weak, he felt extremely scared, "Damn it, who ordered these guys to rush in? They are here to die. They are worthless. They... they are all us Cubans what!"
At the end of the battle, Dabin found that his side had won the battle, but the huge casualties of the enemy on the battlefield made his men's morale extremely low. The most terrible thing is that a street in the small town of Haruko fell into the hands of the "Aurora Legion" during the battle.
"We must take that street back, otherwise the enemy will be able to kill us without charging after regrouping." Marshall was extremely displeased with the area of the town occupied by Roma.
But Dabin said with a sad smile: "there is only one thousand troops in the town. I thought that this thousand people would be enough for defensive warfare. But now we have lost half of our troops and a large number of weapons. The rest of us are really fighting." It's not moving."
"For help, ask for help from Governor Diego. If Haruko falls, the enemy can attack Havana directly." Marshall didn't think much, and he also felt that relying on the remaining 500 people in the town, he would definitely not be able to carry it. 'Aurora Legion' next attack.
But Dabin punched the wall hard, "Damn 'Aurora Legion', just give me another day, and I can complete the preparations for the sea attack, but now I have to use it to fight against the enemy. One day, just one day! I can win easily."
Just when Marshall and Dabin were extremely horrified and annoyed by the tragic battle, their ruthless opponents were already gathering a second attack wave. In the eyes of superiors, casualties are just numbers. (To be continued.)
