Chapter 1756 The Desperate Command
That round of rockets has finished.
Without any hesitation, the paratrooper commander immediately led the remaining soldiers to retreat into hangar number 8.
With their current strength, they simply cannot withstand the orcs' attack, so they must defend their strategic locations to the death.
Hangar No. 8 was originally designed to store military aircraft, so it was built to military standards.
The biggest difference between military hangars and ordinary hangars is that the exterior walls of military hangars are entirely made of poured concrete.
Even missiles might not be able to break through it.
As the paratroopers retreated into the hangar, control of the entire airport returned to the orcs.
The only thorn in their side was Hangar 8.
The orcs wanted to wipe out the paratroopers completely, but they were directly repelled by the paratroopers defending Hangar 8.
The paratroopers couldn't hold out on the outer perimeter, but the forty-odd men could manage to hold the hangar.
The commander ordered the soldiers to hold the main gate while simultaneously ordering a squad to block the back gate.
The commander had given up on any idea of breaking out.
We should have broken through just now.
However, the commander chose to obey the division commander's orders and hold the position to the death.
Because he felt that his comrades would not abandon them.
But reality has now completely shattered him.
As the commander of the assault troops.
His elite force consisted of 300 airborne assault troops.
However, there are no more than 30 people who can pick up a gun now, and there are more than a dozen seriously wounded.
The seriously injured soldier was on the verge of collapse.
Moreover, the orcs launched wave after wave of attacks.
The paratroopers' triple supplies are about to run out.
While ordering his soldiers to defend the hangar to the death, the commander began to write his will.
That's right, the commander did not write a will before the operation.
He believed that paratroopers were invincible and would definitely come back alive.
But now he's scared, and he's started writing his will to make arrangements for his affairs.
Most of the other soldiers, like their commander, also began writing their wills in their spare time.
Many soldiers wrote in their suicide notes, questioning why no reinforcements were sent.
For paratroopers, the most desperate thing is not being surrounded, but having no reinforcements at all.
Apart from a volley of missiles and a volley of rockets, they received no reinforcements.
The whereabouts of the helicopter formation that had returned earlier are also unknown.
Looking at the dozen or so wounded soldiers in front of him, the commander spoke.
“I didn’t expect things to develop this way. What we feared was not sacrifice, but being abandoned. But the two rounds of reinforcements have shown us that we have not been abandoned.”
Our superiors abandoned us, but our army brethren did not.
However, it's no use saying anything now, we won't get any reinforcements..."
After the commander finished speaking, he picked up his gun and joined the battle.
As an officer, he was determined to sacrifice himself before the wounded.
He didn't want to be the last one to sacrifice.
Because this signifies a fact.
That means all 300 assault troops were wiped out...
200 kilometers south of the capital of the Orc Empire.
The vanguard of the 1st Armored Division of the 1st Armored Army has captured the last major town south of the orc capital.
According to the intelligence relayed by the 1st Armored Division, Guderian was extremely solemn.
The first reason is that no paratroopers were found heading to the Orcish Empire's capital for reinforcements.
This means that, apart from the first batch of paratroopers, there are no friendly units in the Orcish Empire's capital.
If the vanguard has no reinforcements, wouldn't they just be sent to their deaths?
Goodry dared not delay and immediately used satellites to confirm the situation while simultaneously calling the military.
However, to Guderian's surprise, the reason there were no reinforcements was not because the paratroopers were not deployed, but because the military headquarters and the command headquarters had a dispute.
To be precise, it was the two infantry divisions on the east side that requested reinforcements.
The Holy Empire Front was utterly ineffective, suffering defeat in the first round of attacks, with its two infantry divisions unable to hold the line.
The military bypassed the General Staff and delivered the order to the airborne division commander.
The airborne division commander had no choice but to obey the military's orders.
The problem is that the original order from the command was for the airborne division to reinforce the Orcish Empire's capital.
In fact, the military is also weighing the pros and cons.
Should we rescue 300 people or two infantry divisions, totaling 10 men?
They already knew the answer in their hearts.
Upon learning the result, Goodry was furious.
He immediately ordered the 1st Armored Division to abandon all its baggage, and the armored units to be fully fueled but their ammunition reduced by half.
They completely entered a state of reckless, high-speed driving.
200km…
It will take at least two hours.
Can the paratroopers hold out?
South of the capital of the Orc Empire.
The 1st Armored Division charged forward like madmen.
The orc soldiers who were preparing to surrender on the road were dumbfounded.
Because these armored soldiers of the National Defense Forces simply ignored them.
It was as if something was chasing them from behind, and they kept speeding away.
The First Armored Division will arrive at the Orcish Empire's capital in two hours.
The paratroopers might not be able to hold out for that long...
Gudri had already prepared for the worst, but he did not intend to abandon the rescue efforts and continued to order the rocket artillery units to fire.
And it was at this critical juncture.
The six Su-25s dispatched by the Air Force finally arrived at the battlefield and began to straf the orc army besieging the hangar.
The orc army's offensive was interrupted once again.
However, according to intelligence sent back by the Air Force, the entire airport had fallen, with only Hangar No. 8 still offering sporadic resistance.
After this intelligence was relayed back to headquarters by Guderian.
The staff officers at the General Staff were furious.
Your military headquarters appointed us, but what do you mean by bypassing our command headquarters to issue orders?
The leaders have clearly stipulated that we are the highest military command during wartime.
War requires making choices, but you can't just leave without even discussing things, can you?
You lost 300 people with just one sentence.
Those are 300 human lives, not 300 beasts!
With a death wish and complete trust in their teammates, they jumped into the encirclement.
But you just sold them out!
The high command was so angry that they went on strike and ordered Guderian to take full charge of the frontline operations.
He also ordered the duty personnel to grant Gudri any military requests.
