Chapter 28 The Norman Prisoners of War

Federal officers and soldiers rested in Scarmo Heights for more than an hour, and the second wave of the Norman army's offensive arrived as scheduled.

This time, Weiss did not stay in the reserve position anymore. The reserve team replaced the company with heavy casualties and pressed on the main position. The Federal soldiers who had just entered the battlefield seemed to have become accustomed to the fierce artillery fire of the Norman army. They calmly traveled back and forth between the bunker tunnels. When the Norman tanks and the Norman infantry rushed, they calmly prepared their weapons and ammunition until the officer ordered the fire to pull the trigger!

This cruel battlefield and bloody battle have allowed the young soldiers to grow up quickly. If they can survive this battle smoothly, both fighting skills and mental psychology will be transformed in surprise. However, facing the Norman army that is determined to win, few people who fight on the Scarmo Heights may survive...

Before the Norman army approached the position, Weiss used the experience and inspiration he gained in the two battles to help the federal officers and soldiers around him cope with strong enemies. The tactical Normans often used machine guns and rapid-fire guns to conduct close-range shooting, suppressing the firepower of the defenders and killing the defenders, forming a cancellation mode that is beneficial to the attacking party. During the Northern Border Campaign, the Royal 1st Marine Division of the Norman Empire attacked the Federal Army positions one after another, and in the end the casualties were only equal to those of the defenders. At the Battle of Belakasser Pass, the price paid by the Norman army to capture the fortress was much smaller than the casualties of the Federal defenders.

Of course, the Norman army's offensive tactics are not impeccable. In fact, as long as you are familiar with them and study them, it is not difficult to find a way to deal with them. In the trench, Weiss repeatedly reminded the soldiers not to shoot continuously, beware of the enemy's artillery fire and pineapple bombs, and make good use of pineapple bombs.

In the main position of Scarmo Heights, the 340th and 404th reserve regiments belonging to the 23rd National Defense Division fought very tenaciously. The sufficient preparations made before the war provided them with material support. On their opposite side, the Norman army adjusted the attack method and rhythm accordingly after the first wave of attacks. The chariots in steel armor no longer hit the high ground, but provided firepower output at the foot of the mountain. The infantry was responsible for the main attack mission. The small infantry combat group of dozens or hundreds of people replaced the large and medium infantry combat group of hundreds of people, and each step

The core of the soldiers fighting group is bomb throwers and fire spitting soldiers. The throwing distance of the pineapple bomb and the spraying distance of the flamethrower are limited. The Norman Infantry Combat Group cannot show its power before approaching the defending positions. Once it approaches the position, it will make the guards officers and soldiers panic and tremble. Those fire spitting soldiers carrying fire spitting weapons are not demons, but as long as they release a blazing fire whip, the defending positions will definitely wail. Those terrifying flames seem to make the air extremely hot. They create one purgatory scene after another, instantly destroying people's fighting spirit and courage.

Seeing that the right position was trapped in a sea of ​​fire and its defensive firepower was sharply reduced, Weiss hurriedly called the machine cannon combat team next to him: "Quick-firing cannon, five hundred feet in front of the right front of the target, shooting continuously!"

It was a 5pir (25mm) caliber rapid-fire gun. In the standard organization of the defense division, it was equipped with heavy firepower to the infantry company. Under Weiss' summoning, the gunners quickly turned the direction and fired fiercely at the Norman infantry group approaching the position. The tilted firepower killed and injured more than a dozen Norman infantry in the blink of an eye, temporarily suppressing the remaining soldiers. However, their attack did not stop. Even if they fell to the ground, they continued to attack with pineapple bombs. After the explosions one after another, there were no figures on the defending positions they were opposite.

Seeing this, Weiss quickly greeted a non-commissioned officer beside him: "Gofa, bring your team with me!"

Fierce battles and tragic fighting sometimes make people tremble and fear, and sometimes make people excited. Weiss stood up and left, and the non-commissioned officer who had named him followed without hesitation. More than a dozen federal soldiers under his command followed closely. Some of them had firm eyes and no fear on their faces, while others were anxious and stumbling.

While moving along the trench, Weiss deliberately lowered his body, sometimes running in small steps, and sometimes stopping to observe the enemy situation. As long as his rapid-fire cannon continue to show his power, the Norman infantry, who had advanced to a hundred feet from the defending positions, could not move at all, but the good times did not last long. Several shells roared and landed on the position where Weiss and the others were just in the position. After a series of explosions, the rapid-fire cannon was completely silent.

As soon as the rapid-fire gun stopped, the Norman infantry was like a shark that smelled blood, and rushed forward in an excited manner. Weiss took out a pineapple from behind his waist, pulled off the buckle, threw it out violently, and called out: "Gofa, drop the bomb!"

The pineapple drew a perfect arc in the air and landed in the Norman infantry without bias. Weiss then trotted forward for a few steps, and suddenly a black shadow flashed in front of him, and then a fire flashed in front of him. He seemed to be hit by a high-speed car from the front, and flew backwards in an instant. At the moment when the severe pain came, he seemed to have been erased by the world and suddenly lost all his consciousness.

After a while, Weiss suddenly opened his eyes, and his whole body was restored under the guidance of vision. Before he could calm down his breathing, he suddenly found that there were Norman soldiers around him. Now, he was not moving, nor did he move, but could only watch the Normans swaying in his sight. Some of them were strengthening their positions, some were cleaning up the bodies along the trenches, lifting the remains of Norman soldiers aside, and putting the weapons in the trenches together.

How long have you fainted? The Skamo Heights have been captured by the Norman army? Have the federal army on the other side exploded the bridge? Have you launched a counterattack?

This series of thoughts made Weiss even more headache. Suddenly, a Norman soldier approached and suddenly found that the federal soldier lying on the ground was looking at him. He hurriedly picked up his gun and pointed the gun at Weiss, shouting something, but Weiss didn't understand at all. With the reputation of the Norman army treating prisoners of war, he was ready to die at any time. However, the young-faced Norman soldier did not shoot at him. Two Norman soldiers quickly ran away, holding rifles in their hands, and did not aim carefully at Weiss from beginning to end. After a brief exchange between the three, the older one, who was carrying a rifle, squatted down in front of Weiss and said a ruthless Ulster language: "Surrender can survive."

Weis stared and frowned, and his body had just recovered some strength. If he had a gun in his hand, he could still fight with these Norman soldiers, but his gun was lost when he fainted, and he was completely killed by his fist. However, he was unwilling to surrender to the Normans consciously, clenched his fists, and hesitated between survival and heroic death. At this moment, a handsome Norman soldier ran over. He did not carry a weapon, but carried a box with a universal medical sign. After squatting down, he said in a voice that Weis could barely identify: "Don't move, medical!"

The appearance of this medical soldier made Weiss give up the idea of ​​resistance without realizing it. He lay motionless and let the other party check his injuries. The Norman medical soldier took out medical tools from the medicine box and debrided and bandaged Weiss' head, right arm and abdomen. In just a few minutes, Weiss felt much better. When the medical soldier packed up his things, the Norman soldier squatted next to him quickly searched the dagger on Weiss' belt, searched his pocket, and then helped him up from the ground.

The two Norman soldiers standing next to them raised the muzzle and took a step back.

The medical soldier said a few words to his companions and walked away with the medicine box. The older Norman soldier said something to the young soldier who discovered Weiss, and then reiterated to Weiss with Ulster: "Surrender can survive."

Weiss said nothing, and said nothing.

The young Norman soldier pulled out the bayonet and put it on the rifle. The tip of the knife shook at Weiss, signaling him to move forward. The two went down the mountain. Weiss saw the Norman chariots that were destroyed in the battle and the bodies of many dead dead who had not been cleaned. Although he took down the Scarmo Heights only twice to charge, the Norman army still paid a considerable price. It is roughly estimated that the number of casualties was two or three thousand, which may be slightly less than the loss of the defenders, but the difference should not be too large.

Instead of going down to the foot of the mountain, the two came to the frontier position of the defending defense system, which had become the battlefield transfer station for the Norman army, and temporary medical, command and baggage units were deployed. In a huge crater, Weiss saw dozens of captured federal soldiers sitting or lying, most of them were injured, and like Weiss, he received battlefield treatment.

Several Norman soldiers were holding bayonets and staring at them condescendingly at the edge of the crater.

At the gesture of the young Norman soldier, Weiss walked down the crater. Someone recognized him, but only a simple eye contact, and no one greeted him.

Weiss sat consciously next to the familiar non-commissioned officer and whispered to him about the situation of the battle. Through the non-commissioned officer's narrative, Weiss learned that although the defenders failed to survive the second wave of the Norman army's attack, the battle was still very tenacious, and basically fought with the Normans to the end. After the position on the top of the mountain fell, the sound of gunfire on the back of the mountain lasted for a long time, but now it is completely impossible to hear it.

From afternoon to evening, the Normans did not "feed" these prisoners, but provided some fresh water. At dusk, they were driven out of the crater by the Normans, lined up to the foot of the mountain, and multiplied several trucks to leave the battlefield. The trucks drove north for more than half an hour, sending the Federal prisoners to an open open space surrounded by barbed wire.

Weiss looked up at the gradually drooping night, took a deep breath, and it seemed that he was going to camp in the open air...

This season, the weather outdoors is not too cold. The captured federal officers and soldiers spontaneously squeezed together to keep warm. The long night was not too difficult. However, after night, the battlefield was still in full swing. And late at night, the huge roar of flying ships came from the sky. Soon, dense explosions came from the south, and the fierce fire exchange continued until the early morning, and it did not stop a little until the sky turned white.
