The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 313 This is a rare opportunity to attack.
"Charge! Charge! Take them down!"

"Grenades! We need grenades!"

"Damn it! Where's the medic? Albert's been shot!"

As the airship approached the forest, a number of Black Hawk soldiers and some ordinary soldiers surrounded and attacked the forest.

They originally wanted to trap the villagers active here in the village and kill them all.

Because this area was constantly attacked by guerrillas, a lieutenant colonel of the Guards who gave the order believed that they did not need any mercy at this moment. They only needed to use a bloody massacre to make an example of everyone around them!

Unfortunately, by the time they arrived at the village, the villagers had already evacuated.

The cunning enemy not only set up sentry posts along the only route, but also buried some landmines on the road.

Six of their soldiers were killed by landmines. It took them half a day to clear the mines. When they finally arrived at the village located halfway up the mountain, they found that all the villagers had already evacuated to a forest at the foot of the mountain.

The players originally wanted to try something like tunnel warfare, but after some research, they found that the location of the village was not suitable for digging tunnels.

So they built a completely new village in the forest, or rather, a huge wilderness camp.

This place serves as a refuge for the villagers. They have pre-marked forest paths that allow them to slip silently into the woods. The refuge also contains food supplies and underground fortifications.

At the same time, the complex jungle terrain would deter most Black Hawk soldiers.

After all, it wasn't like Black Hawk's small groups of soldiers hadn't chased them in before, but all those soldiers who dared to come in had died here. This forest was far too risky for them.

However, this time, because the Black Hawk Army launched a large-scale encirclement and suppression operation in the rear, thousands of soldiers gathered here and began a fierce attack on the base in the jungle.

Compared to the other Black Hawk soldiers, the ones launching the fiercest attack on this forest at this moment were actually a group of Iris Empire soldiers!

These Iris Empire soldiers were puppet troops recruited after the Iris Empire was conquered by the Black Hawk Army.

According to the current division, the best-performing soldiers in the Iris Empire's puppet army will be uniformly incorporated into Charlemagne's armored division, serving as the emperor's personal guard.

Meanwhile, other Iris Empire puppet troops that did not perform as well were incorporated into the Black Hawk Army as auxiliary units.

But if they can prove themselves, they can be promoted further, incorporated into the Emperor's Imperial Guard, and also obtain Black Hawk Empire citizenship, becoming a true Black Hawk citizen.

Many people in the Iris Empire were indeed tempted by the Black Hawk Empire's welfare benefits and its propaganda about national identity.

Not everyone has such high patriotism, especially within the Iris Empire, where there are already a large number of peace advocates, or rather, surrender advocates.

Of course, when the war broke out, these surrenderers of the Iris Empire were also the first to become traitors and then turned into puppet troops serving the Black Hawk Empire.

Players aren't really able to distinguish between the puppet troops and the regular army, because the Black Hawk Empire's armaments for these puppet troops are just as good, or rather, the Iris Empire's industry is enough to support the armaments of these puppet troops.

In addition, the military uniforms they wore were almost identical, with only some differences in the markings on their helmets.

"Why do these Black Hawk troops seem to be fighting so recklessly today? This doesn't make sense. Did they eat something strange?"

One player noticed that even though ten soldiers had already fallen to his gun at this small opening, the remaining enemy soldiers continued to charge, which puzzled him.

Almost immediately, he suspected that the enemy might be on drugs.

"I don't know, maybe they are some elite troops from the enemy? At least their courage is commendable!"

While his teammate was reloading, another player picked up a submachine gun and continued to fire wildly, taking down two enemy soldiers who were charging from the other side.

Although these guys charged in fiercely, they were really dreaming if they thought they could fight players with minimaps in the forest.

In just a short while, the dozen or so players who remained in this base had already killed nearly a hundred enemies.

boom!
Suddenly, a rifleman fired from a distance, hitting a player hiding behind a tree.

However, the player who was shot in the shoulder acted as if nothing had happened and emptied an entire magazine of bullets in the opposite direction.

Under the continuous fire of the semi-automatic rifles, the enemy riflemen hiding in the rear were killed on the spot before they could retreat. The remaining enemy soldiers also found a place to lie down and began to exchange fire with the player.

"Watch out, I think they're bringing up armored units!"

Suddenly, a scout player hiding in the shadows noticed that an enemy Peacekeeper mech seemed to be rapidly approaching their location.

This is also a major advantage of the mobile chassis in this world. With the mobile chassis, these mechs have better off-road capabilities and are less hindered when entering jungle warfare than ordinary tanks.

The scout player tried switching to K-bullets and firing at the giant canister, but unfortunately, the unlucky K-bullets couldn't penetrate the enemy's armor.

Perhaps in Battlefield 1, the Scout's K-round might still be somewhat useful for finishing off enemy armored units, as it can be used to finish them off.

However, once you get here, the K-round's armor-piercing capability is really insufficient; it seems to be only effective against some enemy infantry units that are wearing armor.

Even using this thing against enemy powered armor soldiers is somewhat difficult; unless you get a headshot, it's hard to get a kill.

The K-bullet struck the armor, producing a crisp sound unlike any other bullet, which startled the Black Hawk armored soldier hiding inside the mech.

Immediately afterwards, they swept the area in the general direction from which the bullets had come, and the firepower of the four machine guns swept across the forest, destroying countless flowers and plants.

boom!
Suddenly, accompanied by a loud bang, a rocket shot out from the forest and hit the Peacemaker mech that had just charged forward.

One player was leisurely loading a bazooka while quickly shifting position behind a rock, his movements remarkably smooth and fluid.

Because Andrei recently released an update that also unlocked all the individual anti-tank weapons in Battlefield 5, players can now use the Bazooka.

However, based on the current player experience, unless it's used against heavily armored enemy units, the feel of this thing is not as good as an AT cannon.

AT cannons are less noisy when firing, making it harder for enemies to lock onto you, and you can even fire them while lying down, but this thing doesn't work that way.

Of course, a bazooka is definitely more powerful than an AT tube, and it naturally has its own advantages.

"Damn it! Can anyone tell me how many people are in this forest? I don't think this is a normal guerrilla group at all!"

A captain of the Iris Army, hiding behind a large tree, said to the soldiers next to him with a look of horror that this was the first time he had ever seen a guerrilla force with such heavy firepower.

Not only that, but these soldiers' combat skills were also extremely exaggerated. They were like ghosts in the forest, appearing and disappearing without a trace.

Often, their troops would have barely charged forward when the enemy would sweep them away from the flanks.

These enemies particularly like to roam freely in the forest, often flanking them and inflicting heavy losses through flanking attacks.

The feeling was like fighting a group of ghosts. No one knew where these ghosts would appear, and they didn't even know how many enemies were in this forest.

Just then, a whistle suddenly sounded behind them, urging them on.

Hearing the sharp sound of the bronze whistle, the Iris soldiers were slightly dissatisfied.

After fighting for so long, the Black Hawk soldiers hadn't charged many times. Every time, they were sent to the front as cannon fodder to die, which made them very dissatisfied.

But there's nothing we can do; the Black Hawk Empire is the conqueror, after all.

They surrendered to the Black Hawk Empire, served the Black Hawk Empire, and hoped to obtain Black Hawk citizenship for themselves. In such a situation, they had no choice but to fight desperately.

If they can't prove their worth, how can they ever stand out in the Black Hawk Empire?
This can be considered a kind of fanaticism among converts.

While the players were still busy fighting a tug-of-war with the enemy in the forest, some local militiamen from the base rushed over with rifles, wanting to join the players and fight alongside them.

By now, these local militia members have also upgraded their weaponry, as the players have seized a large number of weapons from the enemy.

In this base area, every militiaman had at least one rifle and could carry up to 50 rounds of ammunition.

To be honest, this number of bullets is even more than the ammunition configuration of some Cambrian Empire ragtag divisions on the front lines!

In the Cambrian Empire, many soldiers in ragtag divisions could not even fire 30 rounds of ammunition each, and the equipment gap between different divisions was extremely large.

"Brothers, we're here to help you!"

Antonov, who had now officially become the militia captain of this base, came around from behind the bushes with a submachine gun and whispered to the player who was firing in front of him.

The players completely ignored the NPCs behind them; they were all focused on firing their weapons, aiming their shots at the enemy troops in front of them.

Antonov wasn't upset that the other party ignored him.

After all, with bullets flying everywhere and the enemy focused on firing, they had no time to pay attention to him.

He leaned out from behind another tree, picked up a submachine gun, and began firing in the direction the player was shooting.

Of course, he didn't expose his head at all while firing; it was all about faith-based shooting.

boom!
Suddenly, a bullet struck the tree where he was hiding, tearing off a piece of bark.

Feeling the impact from behind, Antonov was startled, but then he fiercely raised his gun again and turned to fire back.

Hearing the screams coming from the other side, Antonov estimated that he had most likely hit the enemy.

But looking at the player next to him, who was shooting and constantly changing positions with agility, he couldn't help but feel a little envious.

He didn't know how many enemies this veteran had killed, but there was no doubt that his combat skills were worlds apart from theirs.

Just as he turned his head to say something, he suddenly heard a strange whistling sound coming from the sky.

"Watch out! The enemy has dropped a bomb!"

Upon hearing the sound, Antonov instinctively roared, followed by several muffled thuds.

With three loud crashes, three tin cans, which looked quite familiar and bore the Iron Cross symbol, fell to the ground.

While Antonov was still in a daze, several gaps suddenly opened under the three tin cans that had crashed down behind them, and several thick mechanical legs extended out from them.

At the same time, a hatch automatically opened on both sides of the tin can, and two small turrets emerged from inside.

Seeing this, how could Antonov not recognize him?
These are clearly enemy mechs!

"What the hell is this thing?"

Without any hesitation, Antonov immediately lay down on the ground and lowered his head.

He had just climbed down when a series of explosive gunshots rang out overhead, and a hail of bullets whizzed past, feeling as if they were going to shave his scalp off.

He watched helplessly as the veteran who had been fighting alongside him was riddled with machine gun bullets and fell to the ground without uttering a sound.

The medic on the other side seemed to be trying to come to the rescue, but before he could get close, the mech quickly turned around and riddled him with machine gun fire.

"Do not--!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Antonov couldn't help but burst into tears.

He recognized the two soldiers, although they were usually aloof, often ignored him, and appeared and disappeared without a trace.

But over the course of these days, he watched as the soldiers continuously brought them various supplies and food from outside, and even helped them dig tunnels and underground shelters.

Especially the military doctor; if anyone in the village got sick, the military doctor would immediately run over with a small needle and give them an injection under the villagers' grimacing gazes.

Although they didn't know what kind of drug the military doctor had administered—after all, they didn't understand it—they knew that the drug was miraculous and could quickly cure people after being administered it.

Over the past few days, he has developed a deep affection for these people. They are their benefactors and the rebirth parents of their entire village.

Watching his benefactor die before his eyes, Antonov couldn't help but shed tears of anguish.

He looked at the mech with hatred, touched the grenades at his waist, and a resolute glint flashed in his eyes.

Perhaps it was due to the angle of view; because Antonov was lying down not far from the mech, and because he was at a very low height, the mech did not notice him.

He carefully tied the grenades together, gritted his teeth, and prepared to rush forward and detonate them.

Even if it meant mutual destruction, he would never allow this mech to continue killing his comrades and benefactors!
Just then, Anton realized that he wasn't the only one prepared to die with his men; other militiamen nearby were also ready to charge.

Before he could rush forward, two militiamen, armed with explosives, roared and pounced on the mech.

But the second mech that had just landed not far from here was the first to spot the movement of the two militiamen.

Amidst a burst of intense machine gun fire, he watched helplessly as two villagers he had spent every day with fell to the ground. Even in death, they did not put down the explosives in their hands.

It has to be said that the sudden appearance of these three large tanks at the back caught the players off guard, and many players were inexplicably killed by them.

What players find even more infuriating is that this thing can actually block their respawn point and attack!

Players have previously dug many small cellars in this forest. In addition to hiding various supplies, these cellars can also be used as their respawn points.

Because these small cellars are themselves a type of building, and buildings can be transformed into respawn points by planting flags on them.

A player had just respawned in the cellar and was preparing to charge out, but the mech that had arrived here spotted him first.

Before the player could react, the mech in front of them suddenly rotated another turret on its side, pointing a strange tube at them.

In an instant, a fire dragon shot out and burned into the cellar, turning the newly resurrected players into torches.

"Holy crap! What the hell is this thing? It even has a fire-breathing function?"

Some players were cursing and complaining, feeling that this trick of blocking the respawn point and burning people was really dirty!

Left with no other choice, they could only respawn at a more rearward respawn point. Then, a group of players picked up anti-armor weapons and charged towards them, eager to get started.

At this moment, the armored soldiers in the three mechs were unaware that their lives were already on a countdown, and they were still marveling at the unbridled slaughter.

"Haha, I must say, the Empire's new adventurer mechs are really useful. Although the landing process is indeed risky, it's easy to catch the enemy off guard!"

An armored soldier controlled a flamethrower to burn the surrounding obstacles while simultaneously firing a machine gun back and forth at the surrounding area.

As soon as he senses that there may be enemies nearby, he will immediately unleash a large amount of firepower on that place.

"Save your ammunition, our mechs don't have much ammunition left!"

Indeed, because this mech is a newly developed airborne version, it is not only smaller than its prototype, the Peacemaker mech, but also has fewer weapons and ammunition.

Originally equipped with four machine guns, the adventurers only had one twin-mounted machine gun turret left, with a total of only 3000 rounds of ammunition.

As for the flamethrower that was additionally installed on the other side of the mech, its fuel reserves can only sustain combustion for 40 seconds.

Overall, their three mechs only had a brief burst of firepower and would soon lose their combat effectiveness due to insufficient ammunition.

But this brief burst of firepower was enough, because in that short time, without the players' suppressive fire, the Black Hawk soldiers and Iris puppet troops on the other side charged forward. Excitedly, they accompanied the three mechs, charging forward with great strides; everyone thought they were about to destroy the base.

The Black Hawk Army's offensive was thwarted once again when the players who had just respawned at a distant respawn point took their positions and aimed several AT cannons and bazookas at the mechs.

Boom!

Less than three seconds apart, the three swaggering mechs were instantly destroyed.

Just a second ago, the pilots in the three mechs were excitedly discussing the possibility of victory, but in the next instant, they were blown into the sky.

The other Iris soldiers were stunned to see their three accompanying mechs destroyed by the enemy.

Meanwhile, at the respawn point where they had fallen behind, players respawned again. One player, without hesitation, equipped himself with a submachine gun sentry and began to slaughter enemies with their backs turned.

A burst of gunfire, almost like a chainsaw, rang out, and seven or eight Iris soldiers fell with screams.

More players came from different directions and joined forces to launch a fierce attack on the Iris Soldiers here.

The battle turned dramatically in just over ten seconds. Even though these Iris soldiers wanted to make a good impression on their new master, they ultimately couldn't hold on any longer.

A group of enemies scattered and fled, wandering aimlessly through the forest, but the player was always able to follow them like a shadow, ending their lives with a few shots.

The airship that had launched the mechs overhead realized, after hearing the screams over the radio, that the mechs they had deployed had been destroyed.

"Damn it, I thought these three mechs would perform well, how come they were taken down so quickly?"

The air force commander on that airship couldn't help but curse, feeling that this piece of junk was a waste of his time!

If he had known this thing would perform so poorly, he would have been better off bringing a squad of Dread Knights for the airdrop!
"Drop bombs downwards! Now that our new weapons have been destroyed by the enemy and those idiots down there have collapsed, there's no need for us to hold back anything!"

After glancing at them twice, the Black Hawk Air Force commander coldly issued orders, showing no regard for the retreating puppet troops on the ground.

In his view, these puppet troops were nothing more than cannon fodder hastily assembled by the empire to make up the numbers.

The empire doesn't care about their sacrifices; there are plenty of cannon fodder like them.

As long as we can achieve victory, it doesn't matter how many cannon fodder sacrifices we have.

Upon receiving the order, the airship quickly moved to a nearby location, and the bombs hanging in the bomb bay were ready.

Of course, because this airship is a specially modified mecha-drop type airship, the bomb bay of this large airship is much smaller and does not carry many bombs.

But anyway, they were only going to bomb the enemy's base on the ground, not to bomb any bunkers or fortresses.

Just a few incendiary bombs would be enough to inflict heavy casualties on the Cambrian people hiding in the forest.

But just then, a soldier suddenly looked into the distance and shouted.

Upon hearing the sound, the commander turned around and saw several mechanical birds from the Cambrian army swooping towards them.

"Heh, they've come at the perfect time! Use our laser weapons to wipe them all out! Fire!"

The air force commander, already in a bad mood, smiled grimly, slammed his hand on the table, and issued the order.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a deadly red laser beam shoot out from the front of the airship and strike the aircraft at the very front.

"Holy crap, this laser's attack power is that high?"

The player piloting the HS129 flying towards them was shocked; he suddenly felt like he had been tricked.

This heavily armored attack aircraft, known as the "airborne tank," ultimately seemed unable to effectively withstand the enemy's lasers.

Although his plane was indeed destroyed more slowly, it still couldn't withstand the enemy's laser for more than ten seconds before being ignited by it in an instant.

All of this was predicated on the fact that the engineers among the players had made additional modifications to the aircraft, adding more armor plates to it; otherwise, their aircraft would probably have been destroyed even sooner.

Considering that the aircraft's maximum speed is only 320 kilometers per hour, it seems that their aircraft is no different from fighter jets when facing laser weapons.

Although fighter jets are destroyed quickly, they also fly very fast.

If you really want to calculate it, the distances that the two different types of aircraft got to the enemy before they were destroyed were actually about the same.

"Hey bro, give us a hand! We're going to crash right into their airship!"

Just then, a player suddenly yelled at his teammate in a cheeky manner.

They didn't expect that simply replacing the aircraft with a heavy attack aircraft would be enough to withstand the enemy's lasers; this thing just didn't seem reliable.

They were mainly attracted by the fact that this thing had relatively high protection while also having a slow flight speed, which would likely allow it to penetrate the enemy's void shield.

If it weren't for the fact that the original biplanes had such poor protection that they would have been destroyed by the enemy's lasers almost instantly, they would have switched back to the old World War I aircraft they used at the beginning.

It's truly unexpected that those slow-moving old planes from World War I could actually be used for ramming when facing the enemy's Void Shield.

"Oh no, they're going to crash into us!"

They watched as one of their planes burned down, while another plane was still on fire on the other side, and then another plane was already hurtling towards the airship's top gasbag.

A Black Hawk officer shouted, his face filled with fear.

"Quickly adjust our lasers and attack the nearest enemies first!"

Ignoring the remaining enemies, the airship quickly changed direction and fired its lasers at the nearest attack aircraft.

Unfortunately, their actions came too late.

When the attack aircraft was not intercepted by the Void Shield and crashed directly into the airship, the Black Hawk soldiers on board all showed despair.

boom!
Under the players' watchful eyes, the airship, due to the impact and the barrage of fire from the attack aircraft before the collision, instantly exploded into a large fireball.

As the wreckage of the airship burned fiercely and plummeted downwards, one player couldn't help but complain:

"Okay, in general, we can indeed use this thing to deal with their airships. At least we can ram them directly in one go instead of slowly grinding them down from the outside."

"How should I put it? I always feel like this thing hasn't been improved much. In the end, we still have to use a mutual destruction method to defeat the enemy?"

They had originally thought that in order to cope with the Black Hawk Army's version update, the Cambrian Empire should be able to come up with some more formidable units, such as war behemoths capable of confronting the enemy's airships head-on.

Unfortunately, in the end, all they gained was this one extra attack aircraft.

While ramming isn't necessarily a bad tactic for players, it's ultimately just an underhanded move.

Ideally, they should have a conventional weapon that can take out the enemy in a proper way; that would be perfect.

Andrei looked at the players' complaints and gave a helpless, bitter laugh.

"Heh, that's a good idea. If I had such a weapon, I'd love to get my hands on it and use it right away!"

"But in any case, this attack aircraft does serve its purpose, and that's enough."

Although players must use a kamikaze attack to defeat their opponent, it is a viable option when all else fails.

Especially for players, who can easily resurrect after death, kamikaze attacks are not a problem at all.

In the past, when playing Battlefield games, Andrei had seen many players use Kamikaze to deal with enemies, not to mention the famous Zeppelin, whose output relied on the engine.

Although the air force's performance was somewhat unsatisfactory, at least from the player's perspective, Andrei didn't care about these issues.

What he was concerned about at the moment was that the Black Hawk Army seemed to be mobilizing a large number of troops for a siege operation, and they had taken a lot of forces to the rear to deal with the players' bases and guerrillas.

"Hehehe, this move came at just the right time!"

Andrei chuckled coldly. He was preparing to launch a large-scale offensive when the Black Hawk Army suddenly transferred many troops from the front lines to the rear. Wasn't this deliberately creating an opportunity for him to attack?

In particular, the players have built many bases, which are scattered in different places. According to the players' chat logs, the Black Hawk Army seems to have launched attacks in many places.

In other words, the number of frontline troops that the Black Hawk Army has drawn this time must be quite large, which has created a huge opportunity for Andrei.

"Send a telegram to urge Colonel Belyak to seize the opportunity; it's a once-in-a-lifetime chance!"

After giving orders to a telegraph operator in the command post, Andrei sat down in a chair, closed his eyes, and waited for good news to come from the front.

He has basically completed all the scheduling tasks he can now, and there's nothing left for him to manage.

Whether it will succeed or not, we'll know once the frontline troops start fighting.

The heavy military train, carrying six massive super-heavy tanks, chugged along the railway.

Meanwhile, directly in front of this military train, a player's armored train was also clearing the way.

Because armored trains have very limited mobility, Andrei's armored trains are not deployed casually on ordinary days.

After all, most of the time, the enemy will not launch an attack directly around the railway, and if the armored train is sent deep into the railway alone, it is too easy for the enemy to set a trap for it.

However, the armored train did come in handy this time.

Although the players felt bored, as the armored train hadn't encountered any enemies for half a day, the special armored brigade, which was advancing with the armored train leading the way, felt a sense of security.

In fact, the armored brigade led by Colonel Belyak was not optimistic about the war, because they had participated in wars in other places before and suffered many defeats.

If they hadn't suffered heavy losses, with almost all the armored units in the entire armored brigade wiped out, they wouldn't have been sent to Moscow to be readjusted as an experimental army.

The officers and soldiers of the entire armored brigade had doubts about this new war machine when it was used for the first time. In particular, the fact that the thing suddenly got stuck in the river during the previous test had cast a shadow over them.

Colonel Belyak finished reading the telegram and casually tossed it aside.

He didn't take Andrei's urging seriously, because in his view, whether he could act quickly next was entirely up to fate.

If these six tanks do not experience any malfunctions on the road, nor do they encounter any strong resistance from enemy forces, then they can naturally reach their destination quickly.

However, if he encounters fierce resistance from the enemy, or if his tank breaks down on the way, he won't be able to speed up even if he wants to.

In particular, the production cost of this type of vehicle is very high, and each vehicle is a valuable experimental product.

Therefore, it is even less likely that he would simply abandon a tank if it broke down on the road, as this would only increase the time and cost of repairs.

Just then, the military train he was on suddenly slowed down and then came to a stop.

Looking around, he asked his adjutant beside him with a puzzled expression:
"What happened? Why did we suddenly stop here?"

The adjutant shook his head; he didn't know either.

Suddenly, a player who jumped off the armored train shouted at them:

"Everyone, we've arrived. Please get off!"

"Ahead lies enemy-occupied territory, where we could be attacked at any moment. Moreover, the remaining route is not aligned with our objective, so we'll have to walk the rest of the way!"

Upon hearing this, Colonel Belyaq immediately ordered the other soldiers on the train to disembark quickly.

A group of engineers immediately jumped off the train and quickly adjusted the bolts to lower several huge armored panels.

As several iron plates crashed to the ground, gentle slopes were formed.

At the same time, the driver quickly climbed into the Mendeleev tank and slowly began to operate the massive steel behemoth.

With careful adjustments, the six steel behemoths reversed back and forth, slowly turning, and finally successfully drove down the gentle slope.

As the six steel behemoths successfully rolled off the train, the group of Cambrian soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, knowing how difficult it was to get them off the train.

If you're not careful and bump or knock something when you get out of the car, it could cause some of the systems inside to malfunction due to the vibration, which would be a big problem.

In particular, the engineers assigned to this unit lacked experience. They knew how to repair mechs and chassis, but this was the first time they had undertaken the task of repairing tracked combat vehicles.

"Aha, we've arrived!"

On another military train at the rear, a player saw the train in front stop and a look of excitement appeared on his face.

While waiting in the car, they got bored and, together with a group of Cambrian soldiers around them, developed a completely new way to play the game.

Since everyone had nothing to do, they naturally spent their time playing cards on the train.

When players see someone pull out a deck of cards and immediately start playing the same game of Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game), the situation quickly spirals out of control.

Although it was the first time the Cambrian soldiers had ever seen this game, it was so simple that they quickly learned how to play and became completely engrossed in it.

So much so that when the officer ran out to tell the soldiers to get off the vehicle, many soldiers were still shouting: "Wait, let us finish this round first!"
Of course, playing cards is one thing, but gambling is not allowed.

Similar bad practices existed in the Cambrian army, where many officers would solicit bribes from ordinary soldiers under the guise of playing cards.

But after Andrei arrived, he absolutely refused to allow such a thing to happen!
To avoid this situation, he directly assigned a task to the players:

If any officers or soldiers are gambling in the army, the player can immediately arrest them and send them to their side to exchange for merit points.

If they dare to resist, we'd rather shoot them on the spot!

Others might have reservations, or they might protect each other, which would prevent Commander Andrei from knowing the situation of his soldiers.

But players won't.

As long as they can earn merit, they don't care what the mission is.

Let alone asking them to catch the uncivilized behavior in Andrei's troops, they would do it without hesitation, even if they were asked to assassinate the Tsar!
So after executing more than a dozen exemplary individuals and arresting dozens of officers, this phenomenon was completely eradicated from Andrei's ranks.

Even when other armies joined Andrei's army, they spontaneously stopped this practice because they all knew that Andrei had a group of fearless bastards who would shoot anyone at the slightest provocation!

The entire armored brigade quickly assembled, and a small number of players also mingled among them, following the force as it charged towards the enemy forces at the front.

However, as they launched their attack on the front lines, the Black Hawk troops anticipated the enemy's impending offensive and began urgently setting up their defenses.

That's normal; the players' previous bombing raids weren't for nothing.

If these Black Hawk commanders had any basic military knowledge, they should know that such precise and rapid bombing was typically intended to clear the way for a unit in the rear.

Unfortunately, even if they had anticipated this, it was too late, because they didn't have time to rebuild a strong defense.
