Chapter 2006 My Regiment My Regiment
As Hayes and the others in the company ran through the fast track, it became clear that the situation was worse than they expected.
The entire boarding area was in chaos. As far as the eye could see, there was a roar of people. Officers and non-commissioned officers were shouting contradictory orders, and orderlies were running around in all directions. The soldiers were running around like headless chickens.
It was too sudden. Their group was suddenly stuffed into the ship, and then suddenly told that the first wave was to land on the ground. At this time, the fleet had just set off less than an hour ago.
The news had been passed on to them, but the reaction of the troops was obviously not that fast. Hayes watched the two squad leaders fighting over which squad should carry two more boxes of mortar shells, and the soldiers Gathered around them, cheering on their respective squad leaders as they tumbled on the ground, Commissar Ayi fired warning shots into the air with his pistol in a desperate attempt to separate them, but to no avail.
"A bunch of idiots."
Olanios muttered, seeing the fight in his eyes.
“We are about to jump into hell, but there are still people who are in the mood to fight among themselves.”
The company commander rushed towards the combatants through the cheering soldiers and kicked one of them. One struggling squad leader punched another squad leader in the groin.
After attracting their attention, he quickly warned them a few words, and then turned to the group of soldiers.
"Most of them will be dead soon."
He said, although he spoke softly, his voice was still clear.
"If you want to be one of the lucky few, check your equipment again."
He stared at the group of soldiers and let them digest his words.
"Hurry back to your place."
The frightened soldiers hurried back to their posts, followed shamefully by their wounded squad leader, and Ouranios turned around with satisfaction.
Hashet also walked over at this time carrying his laser gun and Kabri carrying a logging gun.
"For the sake of the Emperor, what happened? Why is it our cannon fodder's turn to lead the charge? Wasn't it the work of Alicia's airborne troops and the Cadian troops? Are they willing to give this kind of 'honor' to us?"
"Don't you know? I heard that our regiment commander pissed off the commander of the theater."
"No. Well, there is such a thing, why don't you choose to nail that person's head on a spear to atone for your sins, but let us suffer along with it?" "You have a beautiful idea, don't say it, we have more important work to do. Everyone, hurry up and find the landing craft.”
When Arni led the guard and officer regiment to the boarding area with a gloomy face, order was finally completely restored. The regimental commander stood behind the high platform where two ammunition boxes were piled up, and first took a long He breathed a sigh of relief, and then said loudly to the confused, frightened and panicked soldiers around him:
"Everyone knows that our regiment is about to participate in the first batch of airborne operations, and some people may have heard about it. Some rumors, so now I can tell you that I, Arni Morales, took the initiative to lead you! The Abu Bakari 310th Infantry Regiment! My father told me when I set out that he could give I have a fully equipped and well-trained regiment, but I said I don’t want it! Because what I want is my regiment! I want my fellow soldiers to be proud when they mention Arni Morales. I can proudly say that he is my regiment commander! I mention my fellow soldiers in front of others and can proudly say that they are my regiment! In the end, they gave me a cannon fodder regiment. Call the Abu Bakari 310th Infantry Regiment the Cannon Fodder Regiment, because most of you did not join the army voluntarily, the training time you received was the shortest, and the equipment you received was the worst! I said yes! , because I believe that I can lead everyone to show our pride and show the name of Arni Morales!”
Even a soldier like Hayes who has never read a book and knows a few words, After hearing these words, everyone couldn't help but feel excited. Hashet sighed softly and shook his head, while Olanios was expressionless and could not tell what he was thinking.
“This time, let everyone see if we are cannon fodder!!”
"Follow your orders!!!"
Amidst the roars of the soldiers, the landing fleet of the Sixth Theater approached Lamptan 4, and the main strike fleet had been fighting with the red pirate fleet cruising nearby for several hours. and successfully drove the opponent away.
Twenty-three giant transport ships are loaded with nearly 5.7 million troops. There are six cruisers and a destroyer formation escorting the landing force. They have basically destroyed the planet's orbital defense system and are currently in the process of destroying the planet. Suppress the ground defense firepower. As a key industrial planet of the Red Pirates, a strong defense force is stationed here, and Arash must capture it relatively completely to be able to use the facilities above to provide power for the huge army.
The first batch of landing sites are eleven, located in different areas of the planet. After opening the landing site, the landing troops need to expand the defense area in situ to buy time for subsequent troops to land. This is a huge casualty mission, because the defenders know that once the endless army pours down from the void, their destruction will be a matter of time, so they will launch an attack on the defenders near the landing site at all costs.
The Abu Bakari 310th Infantry Regiment will land in an area near the equator of the planet, which is close to a large weapons assembly factory on the planet. It is also the only large weapons assembly factory of the Red Pirates. The landing site number It's 5.
The escort fleet began to bomb enemy facilities near the landing point. The mechanical priests checked the engine of the landing craft. After confirming that it was correct, the huge mechanical arm pushed the landing craft to the launch ramp. In the cabin, the soldiers sat in their positions. The upper girdle tightened their bodies, some were talking in low voices, some were praying, and some were writing letters.
Soon, the thunderous roar of the engine broke the atmosphere in the cabin.
Then everyone felt the change in gravity, and with the shaking of the stools under their buttocks, they knew that they had left the transport ship.
The cabin became dim, only the light green emergency lights were slightly bright. Although it was not the first time for Hayes to go to the battlefield, he was still so nervous that he was sweating profusely, which made him want to take off his hat. But he quickly gave up this move. He was afraid that his hand would slip and the hat would fall off. They couldn't remove the straps by themselves, which meant that he would most likely not be able to pick it back up.
The turbid air and the tense atmosphere caused some people to retching or even vomit, but no one would help them, and they could only vomit on themselves.
Abubakari's 310th Infantry Regiment added a group of new soldiers six months ago. They had hardly been on any battlefield, let alone such fierce battles.
Suddenly, the smooth sailing began to gradually become shaky and shaky. Based on previous experience, Hayes knew that they were entering the atmosphere.
