Chapter 459 Riot·Before the Collision
“These imperial troops are so vigilant! There is no chance of a sneak attack at night.” On the cliff far away from the railway, several scouts of the Revolutionary Army were lying down On the ground, I looked at the trains and the soldiers repairing the tracks from a distance, trying to find opportunities for sneak attacks.
However, the northern army's vigilance and defense were very good and did not give the revolutionary army a chance to make a sneak attack.
"Are the imperial troops in the north elite? They do seem to be on a different level than the ordinary garrison troops in the colonies!" Another scout from the Revolutionary Army couldn't help but sigh.
Although they are all soldiers now, a few months ago they were ordinary workers.
Therefore, there are still many deficiencies in terms of military discipline and military literacy.
Although most of the Revolutionary Army soldiers have grown up after several battles, there are still many who find it difficult to achieve strict discipline for a while.
So even though they were performing a reconnaissance mission, because they were far enough away, they were not too careful and nervous. Instead, they had enough time to comment on the differences between the northern army and the colonial army.
As the top field commander of the Revolutionary Army, Kevin is also here at this time.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with the chatter among his soldiers.
Although he hoped that he would lead an elite force that was professional enough, at present, his sister only had these soldiers for him to command, so he could only make do with them.
But fortunately, although these soldiers are not professional enough, they are very enthusiastic about fighting, and they can really obey orders, dare to fight and fight on the battlefield, and obey orders and prohibitions.
This is enough to be called an elite force.
After all, the professionalism of the army can be cultivated and the military literacy of soldiers can be cultivated, but the spirit and atmosphere of an army are difficult to shape.
Generally speaking, the spirit and atmosphere of an army, as well as its habits and style, etc., can be combined with a professional vocabulary to describe it, and this vocabulary is the military soul.
The current revolutionary army is still a certain distance away from forming a military spirit. After all, most of what this army has experienced so far has been asymmetric combat on non-frontal battlefields, and it has not experienced in desperate situations or difficult predicaments.
No one knows whether they can withstand the pressure of the desperate situation, and whether what they are showing now is just a castle on the beach.
But at least judging from the current performance, the Revolutionary Army has the potential to become a force with a military soul.
It’s just that they still lack the experience and the temper of fighting against real elites.
The current army from the north may become a touchstone and whetstone for the revolutionary army, allowing the revolutionary army to better hone itself and truly grow.
Kevin thought this way, so he said: "They are the Imperial Guards. They are different from ordinary armies. An army can only truly experience the baptism of cruel wars, win glorious victories, and establish sufficient foundation for the Empire." Only with meritorious deeds can it be possible to obtain the title of Guards
The army in the north comes from the 17th Guards Division, which is an old guard of the empire, both in terms of combat will and training level. It is not comparable to the garrisons in the New World colonies who are no different from the militia.
The revolutionary army used to fight the third-rate troops of the empire. This time they encountered the real elite troops of the empire. How did Kafka perform? I'm looking forward to it..."
"For the sake of Master Kafka, so what if they are the elites of the empire? We are fighting the elites!" Obviously, these soldiers of the revolutionary army have already established themselves in the previous battles. With a considerable degree of self-confidence, he did not take the northern elite in front of him seriously. Kevin was quite sure of their confidence. After all, having confidence was a good thing, and he couldn't do anything to undermine their confidence.
As long as the troops guard against arrogance and impetuosity, it will be enough to avoid being arrogant and underestimating the enemy because of their self-confidence.
As for more things, it still needs to be seen on the battlefield with real swords and guns.
"Let's withdraw first. The opponent is very vigilant and the troops are not bad in organization. If we launch an attack by force, it will only become a tough battle. It is unnecessary." Kevin originally planned to make a sneak attack, but seeing that In the current situation, a sneak attack was impossible and he could only give up his original plan.
Other Revolutionary Army soldiers had no objections to this, or they would not say anything here if they had any ideas.
The Revolutionary Army has emphasized military discipline since its establishment. Obeying orders from superiors is a key point written in military regulations. Although these Revolutionary Army soldiers are somewhat free and loose, they still do a good job in obeying orders. Very good.
Moreover, Kevin's prestige in the revolutionary army was accumulated through battle after battle, and these soldiers all admired him.
What's more, everyone can understand the situation at hand, and they all understand that a sneak attack will not be advantageous.
So soon, the revolutionary troops who had been ambushing on the cliff withdrew one after another.
At this time, the northern troops at the foot of the mountain were still repairing the damaged railway tracks in an orderly manner, striving to restore the railway's traffic capacity as soon as possible and continue to move forward.
————————————————
A few days later, although there was a delay on the road and it took about two days longer than expected to arrive at the target city, the troops from the north successfully entered the city where they were originally scheduled to suppress the riots.
This city is just one of many unknown small towns in the New World colonies. It is mainly based on mineral and agricultural output, mainly providing raw materials and primary agricultural products to Pignisberg.
When Pinignisberg gradually declined, the city also declined with depression, and when Pinignisberg showed a little vitality due to orders from the north, the city also took a breather. For a moment.
So when strikes and riots broke out in Pinignisberg, it was natural that strikes and riots broke out in the city as well.
The colonial authorities wanted to retake Pignisberg, and this city happened to be on the way, so retaking the city was an option that the colonial authorities did not need to consider.
Originally, the colonial authorities gathered their forces and launched a fierce attack on the city. They once invaded the city and almost took it back.
However, the troops from the revolutionary army did not directly confront the superior forces of the colonial authorities. Instead, they cut off the logistical supplies of the attacking troops through a series of means, and also burned their rations, which made the colonies The regime's offensive suffered a serious setback.
In addition, the colonial authorities' troops themselves had little fighting will, so they were naturally quickly defeated by the revolutionary army.
Now, it is the turn of the elite troops in the north to test the quality of the revolutionary army.
