Chapter 1815 I'd Rather Sacrifice!
Seeing that the company commander had completely given up resistance, the soldiers showed no emotion, but silently raised their guns and continued to fight.
They would rather die than be deserters, they would rather die than surrender!
Because they knew that the dwarves in front of them were psychologically twisted.
Their pleas for mercy or surrender will only drive the dwarves even crazier.
As soldiers of the National Defense Force, they absolutely cannot disregard the dignity of the National Defense Force.
The National Defense Forces have only heroes who sacrifice themselves, not cowards who surrender!
In fact, the National Defense Forces have a clear punishment scheme for soldiers who surrender.
If someone is a deserter, then death is practically their only fate.
There may be a few exceptions.
However, if you are taken prisoner on the battlefield or surrender to the enemy, you may not necessarily face severe retribution after the war ends.
Because Lyon could understand the soldiers' thoughts.
Not everyone has the courage to face death.
But if you didn't desert when faced with the enemy's fierce offensive, that's already pretty good.
Surrender is not shameful; what is shameful is surrendering without doing anything.
Lyon could understand surrender, but he wouldn't agree with it.
He will still punish the last surrendering soldiers who return.
If you are out of ammunition and food, and friendly forces are not providing timely support, then choosing to surrender at this point means you have done everything you could.
Not everyone has the courage to sacrifice themselves for a cause.
But surrender is surrender.
There was no deliberate embellishment.
Moreover, although the National Defense Forces do not prohibit surrender, not a single member of the National Defense Forces has surrendered since the start of the war.
To be precise, from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present.
There are only heroes who die in battle, not cowards who surrender.
Because they have a lofty faith in their hearts.
They are willing to dedicate everything to their country.
So when they saw the company commander's appointment, the soldiers were not discouraged at all; on the contrary, they immediately picked up their weapons and continued to fight.
Even if they bleed to death, they will fight to the very last moment.
The medic also picked up a gun and fought alongside the two infantrymen.
They could no longer see any of their comrades in formation.
Basically, it was just one or two soldiers from the National Defense Army resisting everywhere.
The squad leader couldn't find his soldiers, and the platoon leader couldn't find his squad leader.
The entire company was in complete chaos.
Ibelin looked at the scene before him and instantly revealed a monstrous smile.
The feeling of relief and revenge was incredibly satisfying.
The surrounding dwarf soldiers all grinned arrogantly.
But their laughter soon faded.
Because they heard a whooshing sound coming from the sky.
The next second, Ibelin saw a large number of dwarf knights in front of him being blasted into a bloody mist.
Before Ibelin could react, he was overturned by the camel.
The instant he hit the ground, Ibelin heard a terrifying tearing sound beside his ear.
This was the first time Ibelin had ever heard such a sound.
But for some reason, Ibelin was filled with fear of this voice, as if it were tearing everything apart from him.
Ibelin could only lie motionless on the ground, trying to escape the terror from the air in this way.
Only after the tearing sound completely subsided did Ibelin hear the roar of fighter jets.
Looking up, I saw a strange fighter jet pulling up again.
what is this?
Ibelin had only one question on his mind, while he saw the camels and dwarf soldiers smashed to pieces on the ground.
The fighter jet in the air was an A10.
As attack aircraft, both the A-10 and the J-7 have top-notch ground attack capabilities.
Destroying infantry and armored units is as easy as opening a can.
An A-10 directly licked the ground.
In an instant, the desert knights of Ibelin were reduced to fragments.
And what's most terrifying is that after licking the ground once, the A10 immediately took off to prepare for a second round of licking the ground.
The Air Force doesn't care about ammunition consumption; their current orders are to support the ground forces.
We don't care about ammunition consumption at all, we just keep shooting!
After the Air Force launched a terrifying air raid, with A-10s repeatedly licking the ground three times, Ibelin and his men were completely dumbfounded.
Ibelin never imagined that the National Defense Force's air force was so powerful. As a hothouse flower, Ibelin had never faced the National Defense Force's air force before. The most powerful armies he had ever encountered were definitely the National Defense Force's army and the Elven Empire's army.
The only air units he encountered were probably the old-fashioned fighter planes of the Dwarven Empire, and their so-called warships.
But compared to the A10 in front of us, these things are nothing.
The A10 can even lick the ground and open a tank's can.
What do you dwarf air force have to compete with them?
Ibelin was instantly defeated; after three rounds of licking the ground, these camel riders were all reduced to camel fragments.
But that wasn't the end of it. Ibelin looked up with difficulty and found that A10 had already evacuated.
Ibelin instantly showed an expression of relief, as if he had just escaped a disaster.
But the next second, the whistling sound descended from the sky once again.
Two Su-27s flew toward Ibelinta at top speed.
As Soviet-made fighter jets, both the J-15 and Su-27 are equipped with cannons.
To be precise, from the very beginning of the design process, the designers envisioned using modern aircraft for aerial combat with bayonets.
This idea differed somewhat from the Europa fighter jet of that time.
But it has proven to be a very wise choice to equip modern fighter jets with machine guns.
Because installing a machine gun gives them the opportunity to lick the ground.
For the army.
What's the point of a plane that only shoots down missiles?
A good plane is one that can help our army lick the ground!
What? You're saying your plane can't skid the ground? Then our army will oppose this aircraft project! ( )
What? You're saying your planes can lick the ground?
That's a great project! My army wholeheartedly supports it!
Air force support successfully repelled the dwarves.
Ibelin fled with his army in disarray, daring not to put up any resistance.
Because he was genuinely afraid of two more air raids.
After confirming that Ibelin had led his troops in a hasty retreat, the two fighter jets of the Air Force chose to continue following them for a while.
Only after Ibelin had completely led his troops away from the convoy did the air force fighters choose to withdraw.
Looking at the chaotic convoy, the surviving soldiers of the National Defense Army showed no joy.
The entire company suffered heavy casualties.
A squad leader quickly scanned the area and found that no more than 20 soldiers were able to stand up.
A company of 256 men, now less than 20 can stand up, and if you include those who are panting, there are probably around 40 left.
But of the more than 200 people, only 40 remained, and they still couldn't accept this outcome.
Although the dwarves suffered at least 800 casualties, the National Army also suffered more than 200 casualties.
This casualty ratio is indeed a bit high for the National Defense Forces.
Soldiers are collecting the remains of their fallen comrades.
Under the care of the medic, the company commander miraculously survived.
In less than 10 minutes, infantry reinforcements successfully arrived.
A full-strength infantry battalion arrived at the location of the convoy.
They successfully brought back all the remaining wounded soldiers, as well as the remains of all their comrades.
The atmosphere in the convoy was very tense throughout the journey, and no one took the initiative to speak.
All the medics were tending to the wounded, while the rest of the soldiers remained silent.
Because they find it hard to accept this victory.
This ambush resulted in heavy losses for the National Defense Forces.
Without those four infantry fighting vehicles and two armored vehicles providing cover, the entire company might have been wiped out.
All four 08 tanks were tragically destroyed.
Although the two 04 tanks appeared undamaged on the surface, RPG shrapnel had actually penetrated their interiors, riddling the Wehrmacht soldiers inside with holes.
The convoy was slowly making its way to the capital of the Dwarven Empire.
Two days later.
Inside the National Defense Hospital in the capital of the Dwarven Empire.
The company commander has woken up.
Looking at the white ceiling above his head, the company commander felt somewhat dazed.
Shouldn't I have sacrificed myself? How am I still alive?
When the company commander woke up, the nurse next to him immediately came over and asked him with concern.
"Captain, you're awake? Are you feeling unwell?"
Upon hearing this, the captain initially smiled, but the next second his smile turned into terror.
Because he suddenly realized something.
It's like my legs are gone...
The company commander looked down at his lower body in horror, and sure enough, the area below his kneecaps was gone.
Even part of his thigh was amputated.
Seeing his body in this state, a thought flashed through the company commander's mind.
I'd rather sacrifice myself than become disabled...
