Chapter 1523 The Sorrow of the Defeat
To be more precise, they are no longer retreating, but collapse.
Whether on the road or in the fields on both sides of the road, there are soldiers, and they have no basic queues.
Although they were carrying guns on their backs, Liu Lang clearly felt that the army that retreated from the front line had lost its courage and determination.
And this was just what Liu Lang felt when he was not touched from a distance.
When he got closer, Liu Lang realized that the situation was even more serious than he had imagined.
The soldiers running and advancing didn't care about the refugees in front of them who blocked their path, and even drove the refugees away with their butts and punches and kicks.
There were three or four hundred meters away from the convoy that was slowly parked on the road. Liu Lang heard the refugees crying, but no one dared to resist. The soldiers who had fought with the Black Hawks in Haicheng had a strong murderous aura in their eyes...
Liu Lang's face suddenly turned dark.
He knew very well that in March, the bloody battle with the Black Hawks in Haicheng, the long and cruel battlefield had gradually wiped out the blood bravery of these elite troops of the kingdom. With the orders of retreat by the Supreme Commander, and the 10th Army of the Black Hawks landed behind the entire defense line three days ago, it was about to cut off the retreat route, just like the last straw that crushed the camel, and the final blood bravery was completely exhausted.
At this moment, they were no longer the brave kingdom army who dared to fight with a casualty rate of more than 50% on the battlefield of Haicheng. They just wanted to leave this ghost place early and escape back alive.
It’s not that they are not brave enough, but that their confidence has completely collapsed, from generals to soldiers.
This was something that the Supreme Command did not expect. It was also something that all the soldiers who died in the battle to block the front line of the Black Hawk Imperial Army did not expect. Even themselves did not expect it.
This kind of defeat of losing honor and confidence is no longer something they can reverse.
The retreat evolved into a defeat because it was left to hundreds of thousands of troops for only three days and nights, but now, the last lifeline has not yet collapsed.
Coward! Thousands of cowards! How can Liu Lang not be angry when he walks out of the car and looks at everything in front of him? How can he not feel powerless?
But what can he do? Faced with these comrades who have lost confidence, he can set up a machine gun and tell them with bullets that you are soldiers and you should protect your compatriots? Otherwise, you cowards can die?
Then he is not a hero, but a butcher. Confidence is never something that bullets and killing can give, but depends on themselves.
The officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment also looked at all this angrily. They gave up the military rations that could fight for one month in a row, just because they did not want to see the children craving for food and were desperate and helpless. However, these soldiers in the same military uniform as them drove women, men and even children away with butts and bayonets like pigs and sheep without any mercy.
Yes, they called the group of defeated soldiers in their hearts as soldiers in the same military uniform, not their comrades, from the moment they saw that the defeated soldiers bullied their compatriots. But that was undoubtedly very dangerous.
Once the two armies conflict over roads, a bloody battle is likely to occur.
But those people are not enemies, they are just a group of poor people who have lost their confidence and fighting spirit. They have also sacrificed their lives on the front line and fought for the survival of this nation. No one can deny their previous achievements.
It can be said that the difficulties Liu Lang is facing now are even more difficult than facing a Black Hawk Military Detachment.
With a blue face, Liu Lang issued a military order: "Everyone, keep alert. No one is allowed to get out of the car without the order of the regiment headquarters. All defense machine guns, no one is allowed to open gun insurance without the order of the regiment headquarters."
Then, Liu Lang stood dozens of meters in front of the convoy with his fully armed guard platoon, blocking the defeated soldiers' way.
Perhaps it was the leader Liu Lang's rank of colonel on the head of the army, which made the defeated soldiers feel scruples, or perhaps the guns of the guard platoon carrying Somi submachine guns were scattered, and the defeated soldiers who were advancing on the road took the initiative to walk down the roadbed and pass through the fields 10 or 20 meters before Liu Lang.
Obviously, although these soldiers were already defeated soldiers, they were somewhat rational and did not have the courage to stumble against a kingdom army colonel with a gray face.
Of course, perhaps what made them regain some rationality was the 89 tank that was facing the muzzle at the front of the convoy.
