Chapter 466 Quarrel
The reason why the Rakshasa scouts were depressed was simple. In their memory, the country in the south had always been a backward agricultural country. Not to mention airplanes, it couldn't even produce auto parts. All industrial machinery had to be imported, and it could only engage in some simple industrial production.
But what's going on now? The planes appearing in the sky are definitely not fake. Some of them are so close to them that you can see that the numbers painted on them are different.
This shows that it is definitely not just a group of planes wandering around here, there are indeed dozens of transport planes.
You have to know this location, but it was something our commander thought of at the last minute, and it was not the main attack direction. So many transport planes could come to such a remote place. If it was their main attack location, how many would there be?
Therefore, the Rakshasa scouts were becoming less and less enthusiastic. Even though this was a sneak attack, they felt they had no chance of winning.
A squad of infantrymen blocked our entire regiment. This was also the easiest time to cross the river. Who knew that those idiots at the beginning would miss the best opportunity.
Let's talk about Captain Boris. If he had been tougher at that time and attacked without caring about casualties, maybe we could have made it through now. Unfortunately, he retreated. Now an enemy regiment has been deployed along the river. If we want to go through again, think about the terrifying firepower, and more people will die.
Unfortunately, the top brass of the Rakshasa Army were not as smart as a scout. At this moment, in the camp at the rear, Captain Boris received orders from above. Among the new captains, no one had more combat experience than him, so this guy became the commander-in-chief of the front line and was temporarily promoted to Colonel Boris.
Although the other regimental commanders were not convinced, they could only shut up when they thought about Colonel Boris's background. After all, he had a brother-in-law who was a lieutenant general. If he was not promoted at this time, would we be born? We don't have a sister who is the wife of a lieutenant general.
"Everyone has come from far away, let's rest for a while tonight..."
"What did you say?"
Captain Boris escaped death in the afternoon. Don't think that being a captain is risk-free. He still remembers the situation on the river bank at that time. Bullets were flying everywhere. He couldn't figure out why the other side had so many large-caliber heavy machine guns?
When he thought of this scene, he felt a little scared, so he planned to let his people rest for a night and launch the attack tomorrow daytime. However, he did not expect that before he finished speaking, he was questioned by Hargreaves, the commander of the 17th Infantry Regiment.
"I think I've made myself clear, Captain Hargreaves."
Boris emphasized the word "commander", and the meaning was very clear. I am your commander-in-chief now, not a commander of the same level as you. You are talking to me in a questioning tone, right?
Several other team leaders also signaled to Hargreaves with their eyes that things are different now. Even if you are not convinced, you have to endure it, otherwise this guy will make things difficult for you.
The struggle within the Rakshasa army was also quite fierce, especially among people like Boris, who was very narrow-minded.
"Boris, you should understand that our operation this time was a surprise attack. Your operation this afternoon already missed the opportunity. If we had waited another night, do you know what the situation on the other side of the river would have been like tomorrow? In the three hours before sunset, the enemy deployed 55 aircraft to transport various supplies. In a single night, do you think their army would have rested like we did?"
Hargreaves was a decent man, and he seemed not to notice the looks of the others, but argued his case.
"What are you all hesitating about? Are you going to give up the glory of Rakshasa for the sake of so-called friendship, or some other intangible thing?"
Hargreaves looked at the other captains. He understood why these people kept silent. It was simply because they were afraid of offending Boris.
Rakshasa's honor?
How funny! For a thing like this, we have to offend the new commander-in-chief?
The others acted as if they hadn't heard. "Thirty years, Hargreaves has been in the army for thirty years, and he's only just become a small regimental commander. He's the oldest in the entire Far East Military Region. Do you know why he can't get promoted? Just based on what you just said, publicly accusing your superiors, you won't get promoted either."
"Alright, I misjudged you. I will personally consult with the military district headquarters. We absolutely cannot rest here tonight. This is our last chance to cross the river."
Hargreaves looked at these captains with some pity. They really did not take the honor of Luosha seriously. All of them only wanted to get promoted and make money.
"Are you crazy? Even if you succeed in your appeal to higher authorities, they will still hold you accountable after the war is over."
Boris said very angrily that he had just been promoted to the commander-in-chief of the front line and wanted to show off in front of a few people, but he didn't expect to be so angry at this old stubborn man that he had a stomachache.
"I don't care what crime you sentence me to, I must attack tonight. If you don't, I will lead my army to attack alone. Tomorrow, their reinforcements will arrive, and our entire battle plan will fail. Let's see who will be court-martialed in the end."
Hargreaves stood in front of Boris and did not take the commander-in-chief seriously at all. In his eyes, Boris was just a rich young man with connections.
"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, the telegram from the military district headquarters orders us to launch an attack tonight."
Just as everyone was arguing, the telegraphist brought orders from above. The headquarters saw it very clearly. Combined with all the information from the front, they also believed that new troops would arrive tomorrow. We still have the advantage now, and it is hard to say what the situation will be like tomorrow, so we must launch an attack tonight.
Hargreaves glared at Boris fiercely, then grabbed his pistol and left the tent first.
"Damn bastard!"
Boris said this viciously, but he didn't dare to do anything to Hargreaves. After all, this man was a figurehead in the military district. Besides not being able to get promoted, even the commander of the military district would consult him on some difficult matters. He was like the Taishan Beidou of the army, but he had a bad temper and offended too many people. Maybe he would be a regimental commander by the time he retired...
