Chapter 488 If we have never seen hope, we will naturally embrace despair.
However, the local rebels, relying on the weapons and equipment originally from the Demon Empire, could not resist these rebels who had the support of the Papal States.
The casualty ratio between the insurgents and these rebels was as high as 6 to 1.
It takes six insurgent soldiers to replace one rebel soldier.
However, the rebel soldiers still held on to their posts.
Outside the city of Nigadro, the rebel soldiers took advantage of the vast terrain to wage guerrilla warfare against the demon rebels.
The casualty ratio was reduced to 3 to 1.
But inside the city, the rebel soldiers could only fight to the death with the demon rebels.
This results in a high casualty ratio.
The rebels suffered thousands of casualties every day.
After half a month of fighting, the original 20 rebel troops were reduced to less than .
And this number is decreasing rapidly.
The demon rebels could not understand why the fighting will of these rebels was so tenacious?
In the city of Nicadero.
A position separated from the safe zone by only a river.
The rebel soldiers were putting up their last resistance at this position, because several surrounding positions had already fallen, leaving only this salient.
The demon rebels realized the importance of this salient and immediately sent a large number of troops to fight for it.
The rebel commander wanted to send more reinforcements to reinforce the salient.
But he found that he had no extra soldiers at all.
Because other fronts were under attack, the entire rebel front was already stretched thin.
Therefore, this salient can only rely on the soldiers themselves. How long they can hold out depends on how tenacious they are...
Then, the river separated more than 20 demon refugees and silenced them.
This morning, when dawn came.
The demon rebels gathered their forces and launched a new offensive.
A large number of shells fell into the salient, and the originally exquisite buildings in the salient area have been reduced to ruins.
The rebel soldiers relied on the ruins and built trenches to build a temporary defense line.
Many sewers were converted into anti-gun holes.
Although the Demon Empire is still in the era of cold weapons, it possesses the most famous underground facilities system in the entire continent.
In addition to a complete sewer system, the Demon Empire also has a large number of underground facilities.
However, these facilities existed a long time ago, and even Latiface didn't know how many unknown things were under the city of Nigadro...
Relying on these bunkers and trenches, the rebel soldiers managed to keep the demon rebels outside the salient.
The demon rebels assembled more than 5000 people and launched a series of attacks on the salient.
There were only more than 500 people standing out.
500 insurgents are blocking an enemy that is ten times their number. They may know that they cannot defeat the enemy at all, but they will still fight.
Because they could see something not far behind them.
There is the only bridge connecting to the safe zone.
There were panicked refugees above, crossing the bridge into the safe zone.
So they have to stay here, even if they have to die.
Positional warfare is brutal and requires no technical skills.
Only the two sides endlessly put their troops on the battlefield, and then consumed each other, forming a meat grinder...
A picture of hell on earth...
The demon refugees in the safe zone watched the scene in front of them. Every time a shell fell into the rebel position, all of them twitched at the same time.
Because they know that every shell could take the life of a soldier...
Even the Wehrmacht soldiers were silent.
Separated only by a river, they could clearly see everything on the real test paper.
I was able to see with my own eyes the demon soldiers fighting against these rebels with outdated weapons.
With the support of artillery, the demon rebels were suppressed on the battlefield for a while.
The rebels rushed into the positions regardless of everything. In just one morning, the demon rebels launched seven charges.
They were repelled twice and attacked the position five times, but were driven back by the rebels each time.
However, the casualties of the rebels were huge.
Only more than 500 people were left out of the 200-strong rebel force.
You have to know that a few days ago they were an infantry brigade of 3000 people.
But in just a few days, they were reduced to only 200 people...
However, the day was only halfway through...
The demon rebels on the opposite side seemed to understand that the rebels were already at the end of their strength, so their commander ordered his soldiers to rest immediately.
After eating and drinking, launch the final attack and take down the salient in one fell swoop!
Just when the salient was in danger, the rebel commander made a bold decision.
3000 people were urgently transferred from the outskirts of the city of Nicadero to reinforce the salient.
The commander's decision immediately caused an uproar among the top leaders of the rebel army.
The situation on all fronts was already tense, and the situation in peripheral areas was even more tense than in urban areas.
But at this critical moment, the commander of the rebel army directly dispatched an infantry brigade from the outer city area into the city.
How can the top executives calm down?
Many generals jointly requested the commander to withdraw the order.
Because this is cutting off their retreat.
But the commander spoke.
“If the northern salient is lost, our compatriots will never be able to enter the safe zone again.
If I had never seen hope, I would have embraced despair.
But we have seen our hope, that is our compatriots in the safe zone!
And more than 100,000 compatriots are rushing to the safe zone!
They are our hope!
The Demon Empire suffered this disaster, and you and I are all responsible.
But our fate is already determined, but our compatriots are not.
They witnessed everything in Nigadro City, and they will vindicate us. We, the rebels, are not cowards! We have never given up on our compatriots!
As long as there is hope, the Demon Empire will rise again!"
The rebel commander's words silenced everyone present.
The generals left in silence, and then an elite force of 3000 people rushed into the city.
These 3000 people didn't know what they were going to do, but each of them was holding a grudge.
They have had enough of the massacre in the city, and they want to teach these demon rebels a severe lesson.
These demon scums!
In the afternoon, after eating and drinking their fill, the demon rebels launched their final attack.
But what no one expected was that these 200 rebels had no intention of escaping at all.
Not only did they hold their positions until the last moment, they even filled their positions with explosives.
However, just as the rebel officers saw that the position was about to fall and were preparing to detonate the explosives.
The rebels' reinforcements finally arrived.
Seeing this scene, all the demon refugees in the safe zone cheered.
Their cheers slapped the demon rebels in the face.
As if to say.
This position is a place you can never take!
