Alien Empire Total War

Chapter 57: Charlie's Lies

"Victory! Great victory!"

In the city hall of Nava City, Gunila Cross, who was holding the battle report sent from the direction of Nava City, laughed, his face full of joy for victory.

No wonder he was so happy. Since he was sent here by the National Assembly, the front-line battles have been beaten by the rebels, which is extremely embarrassing. Now his nephew led the team and gave it to him from the beginning. Two rare victories, killing thousands of enemies, and capturing fourteen artillery pieces and countless rifles.

The enemy who counterattacked Nawa Mountain was blown away by Charlie's howitzers, and he couldn't even take the artillery with him, so it became Charlie's trophy together with those abandoned rifles, which made the National Army's weapons and equipment again. has been improved.

The two victories at Mount Nawa undoubtedly boosted the morale of the National Army and gave confidence to the soldiers and officers who had no hope of victory, especially when they saw the artillery being dragged back. Confident when transporting piles of rifles on a wagon.

After that, they got the casualties of the battle of Nawa Mountain from Gunnilla: the Seventh Brigade was unscathed, and the enemy lost at least 2,000 people - the reason there is no exact number, or because the battlefield There are many stumps and limbs torn apart by delayed-exploding blooming bombs, and these corpses are the biggest hindrance to the statistics.

The casualties announced by Charlie's side are like this, and there are even more tragic figures among the rebels who have fled back. If the two infantry brigades who participated in the war include the missing soldiers after the rout, they lost a total of 3,761. Among them, the number of soldiers who died under the bombardment of enemy artillery was at least nearly 2,000.

The reason why the missing soldiers are also included is because the officers of the rebel army are very aware that due to the poor military discipline of the rebel army, the soldiers who did not withdraw with the main force during the rout are basically impossible to return to the team, they will either become Deserters fled back to their hometowns, or gathered with weapons to become an all-evil army.

The former is fine, the latter is almost catastrophic for civilians in Devon who have not fled the war.

No one cared about the chaotic army, losing so many soldiers without hurting the enemy at all. Even if the two division commanders wanted to keep their loyal subordinates, they still had to dismiss the brigade commander who participated in the war under huge pressure from above. , at the same time shrinking the force, began to set up a new line of defense in the direction facing the Nawa Mountains.

No matter how incompetent the two brigade commanders were, they still brought back important information about the enemy's artillery. The dozens of howitzers that the Seventh Brigade put into the war caught the attention of the top rebels, and they ordered the reduction of troops for the same reason. Protected from long-range bombardment by the superior artillery of the 7th Brigade.

Almost half of their artillery pieces were lost on the Nava Mountain battlefield, which made their artillerymen, who had a certain advantage, instantly at a disadvantage.

At the same time, they also began to investigate the howitzers in the hands of the Seventh Brigade. Howitzers are rarely equipped with the army, and it is rare that they can shoot more than a dozen at once. In addition, the information that the enemy army is equipped with more than a dozen howitzers cannot be detected by their own side, and their artillery seems to appear out of thin air.

This was not only noticed by the top rebels, but the commander of the 1st Southern Front, Gunila Cross, also quickly became aware of the howitzers that had made their mark in battle. Time ordered someone to invite Charlie over, and he wanted to talk to Charlie.

As the Deputy Minister of the Army, he knew very well that the howitzers equipped by the Kingdom's army were still in the northern battlefield. Although there was a batch of howitzers manufactured and not put into use in the ordnance factory's inventory, it was impossible to appear here. Much less likely to be equipped and put into battle by Charlie's army.

No matter from which point of view, the origin of the twenty artillery pieces in Charlie's hands is very strange, and he has to be as concerned about it as the top rebels.

Charlie had long expected this moment to come. After receiving the order from the city hall, he did not change his face, tidied up his appearance, and then followed the messenger to the city center. Although he looks very calm now, he is actually Shang was still a little flustered in his heart, because he had not yet thought of a suitable reason to deal with Gunilla.

If there were only the original artillery pieces, he could have used the reason he had planned to capture them to deal with it, but he recruited 20 howitzers out of thin air, and he couldn't find any plausible reason to explain it.

This is really cool to wash the ground with artillery, and explain the crematorium afterwards!

Soon, he came to the city hall and saw his uncle Gunila Clos again.

It was different from the atmosphere that Charlie imagined when he came. When he saw Gunilla again, he was listening to the adjutant's report calmly. When he saw Charlie coming, he raised his hand to signal the adjutant to retire, leaving only him and him in the study. Charlie the two.

Then, I saw him looking Charlie up and down, and then showing a relaxed smile. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

"Charlie, you really gave me a big surprise." He said with a smile.

Charlie didn't answer. He didn't think about how to explain it for a while. Instead, he was ready to adapt to the situation and see tricks.

Seeing that Charlie didn't answer, Gunilla's smile did not diminish, and he continued as if talking to himself: "Colonel Lanlu has already reported to me that when the battle started, he saw the artillery of Mount Nava from a distance. The positions are continuously shelling the rebels, and I am very satisfied that you are able to use the artillery positions to the fullest."

"Charlie, my dear nephew, aren't you going to explain to me about those howitzers?" He crossed his fingers with his hands, held his chin, and continued to look at Charlie with those sharp eyes, making the latter feel uncomfortable.

Charlie was silent for a few seconds, he tried his best to make his expression seem calm and natural, facing Gunilla's gaze, he did not answer directly, but instead asked: "Do you remember the check you gave me before you evacuated the noble district. "

"Well, what's wrong?" Gunilla was slightly startled and asked in doubt.

"Before the National Bank was raided, I had already raised a sum of money from it to buy new howitzers from abroad. As you can see, the howitzers used in this battle were purchased from abroad by me. "

"Why didn't you tell us?" Gunilla asked.

"We were very busy during that time. I tried to find an opportunity to explain this matter face to face with you several times, but I couldn't find the opportunity, so it was delayed until I left Ankerton." Charlie explained for him, "Just Last month, these howitzers were finally shipped from abroad, and after I received the order for reinforcements to the south, I decided to use these howitzers as the final battle force, and I never let them show, which caught the rebels by surprise.”
