Chapter 20, They are all geniuses
The four Ramblers were the first weapons Gu Hang could use to smash the defense line of River Valley Manor.
The second weapon is himself.
He also joined the fight himself.
Gu Hang sat in the armored vehicle and stared at a bunker. A hole was dug there, and a superstructure was built with heavy stones, leaving a shooting port. There are heavy machine guns inside, which is a great threat to infantry.
Facing a solid bunker, even the cannon on the "Rambler" is difficult to shake.
There are three bunkers built by the mercenaries, forming their second line of defense.
After realizing that the simple gravel wall could no longer be defended, a large number of mercenaries had already retreated. They plan to rely on this bunker to carry out continued resistance.
Gu Hang closed his eyes, he could feel the vibration in his heart and the taste of blood. In his psychic perception, the rebellious mercenaries formed vague shadows, detected by his psychic vision.
He locked onto the nearest bunker, and with a blade that could not be seen in the real field of vision, he slashed through the heads of the two mercenaries inside and chopped them off.
In reality, the bodies of the two mercenaries looked normal, but they fell backwards as if they had been beheaded. The body also twitched from nervous twitching.
Then, Gu Hang followed the same pattern and eliminated the machine gunners in the other two bunkers.
He felt that his spiritual consumption was not bad, at least less than when dealing with the mutated green skin of the prisoner.
There may be two reasons for this. One is that after the green-skinned beast was transformed by the potion, its extremely strong body also brought about an increase in soul strength. The cost of cutting off that guy's leg was already much greater than killing multiple mercenaries.
On the other hand, after the last upgrade, his spiritual attributes have increased a bit. This improvement in attributes has increased the psychic power he can control to 150% compared to before the upgrade.
The value of an attribute point is huge.
It is not too strenuous to kill these mercenaries from the air who are slightly tougher than ordinary people.
The firepower points of the three bunkers failed at the same time, resulting in a large gap in the overall firepower of the mercenary defense line.
Under the cover of mortars and machine guns of the advancing armored vehicles, the infantry took this opportunity to charge forward in large strides.
Some mercenaries tried to get back into the bunker and activate the heavy machine guns again, but those who tried to do so were either torn to pieces by the armored vehicle's cannon, or were accurately named and killed by elite Marines. If you really get in, Gu Hang's spiritual vision can see clearly, and he can easily cut off the enemy's head with another 'Soul Cutting' shot.
At this point, the morale of the mercenaries finally collapsed completely.
They knew they couldn't escape. Leaving the bunker, it is impossible to escape the pursuit of armored vehicles on two legs on a flat area.
Not to mention, there are terrifying psykers.
A considerable number of mercenaries put down their guns and raised their hands to express surrender.
At this point, the second line of defense of the floodplain valley estate was also destroyed. The main force of the mercenaries guarding the manor has been almost wiped out.
…It’s too late to count exactly how many people surrendered and how many people were eliminated.
However, according to simple inquiries and confessions, there should be no more than twenty enemies left, and they are all concentrated in the central building.
It is not far from the creek and is the residence of the owner's family. Those twenty people were not all mercenaries, they were mainly Wohan's personal bodyguards.
In addition, they also learned that the storage locations for the materials they had previously looted were in several warehouses not too far from the main building.
They had just come back not long ago, and they hadn't even had time to unload all the goods. Tethered livestock and wooden carts with goods were all nearby.
Gu Hang has already dispatched men from the Wasted Dong Company to clean the warehouse. On the one hand, there are precautions to be taken to prevent anyone else inside, and on the other hand, it is to check whether the goods are complete and how much there is.
The remaining manpower surrounded the entire last building that had not been conquered.
The building is very beautifully built, and the four-story Western-style building occupies a large area. When Wohan is not in Fuxing City, he will basically live here. In that house, there are also his servants, housekeepers and a series of people who serve him.
As for the cultivators of the entire manor's fields, those serfs are not allowed to come near here. The place where the serfs lived was in a more remote place. There were some simple wooden houses there. There were about two hundred people living in Datongpu.
The place was also controlled by soldiers, and the unarmed serfs stayed in the house and did not dare to move.
There are at least 20 more militants in the main building.
The soldiers of the Waste Hole Company had already tried to persuade them to surrender, but the soldier who was sent to persuade him to surrender only received bullets. Fortunately, the distance was not very close. Only two bullets hit the chest and were blocked by the bulletproof inserts.
The young soldier with chest pain ran back in a state of peeing and cursed with lingering fear.
Purbov, the company commander of the Waste Hole Company, went up and kicked the young man twice: "Why are you panicking? Can these two bullets kill you?"
The young soldier's neck shrank. During the battle, he had dared to charge fiercely. He was not afraid of going to close places alone to persuade them to surrender, but he was afraid of this company commander.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. Company Commander Purbov was an old acquaintance. He was originally a native of the Wasted Dong Society and was the captain of the ore mining team. When everyone was recruited from their hometown, the leader asked Purbov to lead the team. After they were organized into an army, Perbov was promoted to temporary company commander and was in charge of training.
How does a captain of an ore mining team know anything about military training and military command?
But in the past few days of training, the company commander miraculously mastered the skills and abilities of leading troops and commanding. Even he himself found this very strange. It was as if his memory, understanding, and even muscle memory had been compromised during those few days of training.
He quickly became a qualified officer. He knows how to train soldiers, and he knows that sometimes we cannot be too lenient with everyone like in the past. The discipline and severity that should be in the army are absolutely indispensable. But at the same time, he also retained his understanding and love for everyone. They were all compatriots who came from the same hometown as him. He regarded these soldiers as family members from the bottom of his heart.
And under his training, these soldiers also mastered the skills of becoming a qualified soldier just as he mastered the skills of an officer. From the beginning, everyone could not shoot a gun, but later everyone became a qualified shooter, able to complete accurate tactical actions, able to understand combat terminology, and knew how to form a formation, attack, and retreat...
The whole process seemed very magical to Purbeuf, but it was also natural. He could feel the entire process of those changes taking place in him - nothing more than a little faster.
Maybe all of us, number 100, are really born to be soldiers and are all geniuses?
Of course, in the eyes of Yan Fangxu, a veteran and senior military officer, this kind of speed is simply a horror story. When Purbov communicated with Yan Fangxu, he also heard such comments from the other party. He was still afraid that he would have any questions, so he asked the governor, but he only got one answer from the governor:
"Don't think too much. Under normal circumstances, you are all geniuses."
