Alien Empire Total War

Chapter 230: Commander commits suicide

"fire!"

Nourishes—

As the lead was ignited by the burning torch, a slight sizzling sound was heard. After a few seconds, a deafening explosion sounded in the open space outside the command headquarters of the stone building. Several solid shells flew from the muzzle accompanied by the explosion. out, rolling at high speed in mid-air.

In a blink of an eye, the shells hit the outer wall of the building of the Enkelan headquarters, smashing a big hole!

One of the cannonballs penetrated the wall next to a window on the second floor of the headquarters, and smashed the soldiers who were hiding in the back. The poor soldier did not die on the spot. He fell to the floor, blood gushing out continuously, and he was struggling frantically for help, making a heart-piercing scream.

The surrounding soldiers were so frightened by his screams that they did not dare to step forward. Looking at the tragic state of his upper body still dragging the leaking intestines, they couldn't help but back up again and again. At this moment, an officer walked away. He stepped forward, put his flintlock pistol on the soldier's head, and pulled the trigger as the latter raised his head to call for help—with a snap, ending his agony.

Afterwards, he ignored the **** brain splashed by the gun, got up and looked at the scared soldiers around him, and ordered: "Spread apart, don't gather together, be careful of shelling!"

The surrounding soldiers reacted after hearing the words, dispersed according to the officer's words, and at the same time focused on the enemy artillery outside, and tried to shoot in the direction of the enemy artillery position.

This stronghold is not too big, and the enemy's artillery is located just within the range of their rifled guns, so they are also trying to thwart the reloading and firing of the Imperial artillery by shooting at the enemy.

But the imperial infantry would not give them this chance. When they deployed the artillery, they dragged some bunkers in front of the artillery for protection. At the same time, they also pushed the carriage of the Enkelans as bunkers, so that the soldiers could Hide behind and shoot at the enemy, so as to avoid being completely exposed to the open space and become a living target.

The artillery was continuously fired over there, and the soldiers on both sides were also shooting at each other. When the enemy hid in the building, the elite hunters of the Imperial Army came in handy again. Killing the Enklan soldiers hiding behind windows, the casualty rate of the Enklans began to skyrocket after they entered the war.

At the same time, their firing frequency has also been suppressed and gradually weakened.

On the top floor of the headquarters, Donnie Blank, the commander of Enkland, stared deadly at the few artillery pieces that were constantly bombarding the building and the surrounding enemy infantry fighting with his subordinates. Every time the shells came into contact with the building At the moment, he could feel a tremor under his feet, as well as the sharp screams of the soldiers.

He thought he could resist for a long time with the stone building under his feet, and maybe wait for reinforcements to arrive, but he didn't expect the enemy's artillery to be transported into the stronghold soon, and an open space was cleared in front of the headquarters. , set up artillery, launch shelling.

boom--

Another sound of cannons flew towards the building with the sound of a grin like a death god, smashing **** the white outer wall of the headquarters, and smashed a terrifying big hole. will cause casualties.

Although the only gate of the headquarters was blocked by the soldiers with the furniture inside before the battle to prevent the enemy from having a chance to knock it open, the gate was hit by several shells at the beginning of the shelling and was forcibly smashed out. There was a large hole enough for adults to enter and exit freely, and the furniture piled up behind was also smashed by shells, and fell down with a bang, and sawdust flying.

After the gate was smashed open, the imperial soldiers did not rush to attack, but let the artillery continue to bombard the building, as if they wanted to kill the enemy hiding inside as much as possible before the official attack, or maybe they wanted to use this to dampen the morale of the defenders. , or rather, for both reasons.

After the shelling continued for ten minutes, the deafening sound of gunfire finally subsided. The outer wall of the building where the headquarters was located was riddled with holes, and many potholes were smashed out. You could see the potholes directly inside, and blood slowly flowed out along those potholes. , which proved that the shells also caused effective damage to the enemy in addition to penetrating the wall.

"Attack."

As a messenger conveyed the division commander's order, the line infantrymen hiding behind the bunker walked out of the safe area under the shouts of the officers, forming a neat queue, facing the enemy without fear. The bullets advanced, and behind them, the charioteers' fire continued, covering the front of the friendly attack.

Blank on the roof looked down at the enemy, no emotion could be seen on his face, he held a loaded flintlock pistol tightly in his hand, if there was a second person at this time. Beside him, he will definitely find his hand holding the pistol trembling.

bang bang bang-

Soon, the downstairs fell into a fierce battle. The soldiers of the two armies shot at each other, and the bullets in the gun chambers were emptied at the first time. Then, the imperial soldiers shouted and raised their bayonets to charge, and they stepped on the scattered debris. Wooden boards and sawdust, and close hand-to-hand combat with the Enkelan soldiers deployed on the first floor.

Listening to the fierce battle downstairs, Blank walked slowly to the back of the desk and sat on the chair. The table in front of him was already messy, with various paper pages and documents piled up together, these are not very important content. , so it was not burned by the staff.

Blank stared blankly at the messy tabletop, slowly raised his right hand holding the pistol, and finally aimed the muzzle at his face~www.readwn.com~ Then, he slowly opened his mouth, Muzzle, eyes closed.

"As the commander of the First Army, I cannot fall into the hands of the enemy and become a prisoner of humiliation. Before that, let me take care of my own life."

He thought so, put his right finger on the trigger, took a deep breath, and wanted to pull the trigger, but when the trigger was about to be pressed, he couldn't help but hesitate.

His hesitation only lasted for less than a second. After a while, he squeezed the trigger with his fingers. The next second, he heard a gunshot, and the whole room was silent again.

The officers and staff outside heard the gunshots in the room, and quickly turned around and kicked the door and rushed in, but after they rushed in, the scene in front of them made them deeply desperate-their commander Blank was paralyzed. Sitting on a chair, his mouth was open and his head was raised, his hands were hanging down, and he was holding a smoking flintlock pistol in his right hand.

Behind Blank, the blood-red brain mixed with blood splattered on the military map posted on the wall, which by coincidence dyed the defense lines of the First Army blood-colored.

Blank, committed suicide!
