Chapter 29 Breakthrough
With the "Rabbits under the Moon", the Silver Wolf quickly returned to his garrison. From this place more than ten kilometers away from the battlefield, the desert under the Moon was still full of artillery fire, and countless ballistics were flying around in the sky.
"The Earth Army is defeated." Klose Debor looked at the battlefield situation, feeling a little regretful and melancholy. He used to be a soldier from the Eurasian Federation. Seeing the failure of the army he had been alone, he naturally felt sad.
"As expected, we have to speed up." Rhodes sneered, then shouted that everyone would load all the supplies into the car. His dedicated GINN was replacing energy and would soon appear on the battlefield again.
"Boss, there are not enough vehicles." Brandt's voice came from his ears. The boy was sweating profusely by the huge amount of work. He originally thought he would win this battle, so he was not ready to retreat.
"Then let's go to the 33rd Tank Brigade and the 8th Mechanized Division to borrow some, and ask their left-behind personnel if they want to go on the road with us. And, they must set out within 20 minutes."
Anyway, these two troops have disappeared from the earth, so Silver Wolf can accept the equipment they have left behind very smoothly.
"10 minutes is too tight, and our tanks are still replacing energy!"
"Then I'll throw them all here, bring only two MSs. And try to bring as many heavy trailers as possible." Rhode didn't want to lose his life for equipment and looked around. Although this place was a huge treasure house, the Earth Army had thrown away countless weapons and supplies! Brand new tanks were discarded by the roadside, and the intact heavy artillery sank in the sea of sand.
"I don't know how much garbage ZAFT can pick up after this battle..." he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
After arranging the shipping of supplies, Rod called Klose and several other officers over to discuss. He spread a paper map on the ground, then illuminated it with a flashlight and said, "I decided to retreat to Alexander."
"Alexander?! In other words, we are going to cross the ZAFT army's front?" Klose was startled. The Silver Wolf is currently in the south of Alamein, while Alexander is in the northwest. However, the ZAFT army happened to come from the north.
"What do you think of?" Rhode asked back.
"Go to Cairo, there shouldn't be fallen there yet."
Hearing Klose's words, Rhode smiled bitterly. This is indeed a normal way of thinking, but since his own combat captain can think of it, the ZAFT army can naturally think of it too.
After thinking about it, he still explained: "Not to mention whether Cairo was captured by the ZAFT airborne troops, we can't escape if the ZAFT hunt alone." Rhode looked at the battlefield, and the deafening sound of artillery fire was slowly weakening, so he added: "I estimate that the Earth Army will resist for up to one hour. By then, ZAFT will definitely send Dean to chase him in the air, and the road to the east seems to be very crowded."
When everyone heard this, they looked east and there was a noisy scene: the road was not very wide and the remnants of the Earth Army were rushing to escape. Everyone chased each other, but no one could get up.
"Who can guarantee that Alexander is still in the hands of the Earth Army? If I want to say that I should run south, there is a small base for the Earth Army." Didu Orphelis said (see Chapter 16 of the work related). This guy did not become an MS driver, but was promoted to the line of fire from the mercenary group that lacked officers.
Rhode glanced at Dido Ophelis and explained: "What we need is an air force base so that we can return to our hometown in Central Africa, otherwise the team will have to disband if we run all the way."
The mercenary group does not have strict discipline, and if they are chased, they will really break up.
Didu Ophelis stopped talking when he heard this. He was now an officer, so he naturally had to consider it from the perspective of the entire mercenary group. However, deep down he still hoped to run south and at least save his life.
Seeing everyone silent, Rhodes decided to say, "Then let's go to Alexander and first go west and detour from the battlefield." He drew an arc on the map and walked around from the left side of the battlefield. "According to my judgment, ZAFT is not easy to live after victory, so it will inevitably be trimmed, and we must seize this opportunity and go around from the side! Remember, the speed must be fast and order must be ensured. Is it okay?"
"no problem."
"Then be prepared and pay attention to air defense during the march." Rhode stood up from the ground and stepped on the cigarette butt and said.
"Yes!" the officers replied in unison, and then went back to prepare.
It was around midnight, and the entire battlefield finally became silent. The Earth Army finally failed completely. The coordination of the Red Eyes did not even give the opportunity to surrender. A string of machine guns learned about the defeated soldiers who raised the white flag. The clouds and mist gradually blocked the moonlight, but the entire battlefield was not dim. The tanks and MS wreckage that burned and occasionally exploded, illuminated the sky and the earth like day. Around the wreckage, there were twisted metal parts and broken human limbs scattered everywhere.
You can grab a handful of shrapnel whenever you grab the sand, and take a step, you can step on a twisted metal fragment. After a battle, the sea of sand drank the blood of thousands of coordinators and at least 30,000 natural people.
The coordinator was tired of a carnival of victory, and as Rhodes expected, the ZAFT army indeed sent an exhausted Dean fleet to the east to expand the results of the battle. Soon, there were another scream on the way to Cairo.
Dean's pilot killed the remnants of the Earth Army crowded below, just like hunting turkeys. The entire road was filled with burning vehicles and burning human flesh.
"It's really cruel..." Rhode sighed softly to the west of the central battlefield dozens of kilometers. He was very glad that he made the correct judgment, otherwise he would definitely have one of the burnt corpses.
"Sir, we have passed the front of the ZAFT army." Klose, who was exploring the way forward in a desert jeep, reported. He was very glad that the tired ZAFT army did not have a guard post here, and he also admired the judgment of his regiment commander.
"Keep vigilant and speed up all the people." Rhodes responded in the cockpit. He understood that ZAFT was at the end of his strength. Those coordinators could not bear this long-term high-intensity decisive battle. If he had 200 tanks in his hand at this moment, he might have rewritten history.
But there is never an assumption on the battlefield...
In this silence, the bright sunshine rose from the horizon, and the Silver Wolf Mercenary Group, which was advancing rapidly overnight, was already hundreds of kilometers away from the battlefield. In fact, even Balfilut would not have expected that a convoy would enter the rear of the ZAFT army so boldly.
The situation gradually became safe. Many soldiers except Rhodes entered their dreams due to extreme fatigue, but Rhodes was different. His life-tested nerve would not be exhausted even if he fought on the battlefield for several days. He drank a sip of water, but was thinking about where his future path was.
The earth can no longer stay there. Anyone with discerning eyes knows that after the Battle of Alamein, the Eurasian Federation Army can only enter prisoner war camps. Although there are still hundreds of thousands of troops in Central and West Africa, the supply is cut off and can only be eaten up by ZAFT. And the silver wolf cannot be buried with them anyway...
Only when he went to the universe, Rhodes thought about it and only had this result. Fortunately, he started contacting his colleagues in the universe a long time ago, and he also visited the moon last year, so at least he had no problem in survival. As for many details involved, he believed that Silver Wolf, an old mercenary group with decades of history, could still use his connections and fame.
‘Dududu’ was as he was thinking, the communicator in his ears rang.
"It's me."
"Sir, I found the ZAFT Army Supply Base in front of me." Klose's voice showed a hint of fatigue. It seemed that the high-intensity battles over the past few days made this iron man unable to stand it.
"Oh, I understand. Let the whole team stop and then let the scouts investigate." Rhode thought for a while, but decided to take a look. If the opponent's defense is weak, he could also take advantage of the random trick.
Silver Wolf was miserable this time. Since coming to North Africa, in addition to the tens of millions of commissions from the Earth Army, it has lost a lot of manpower and equipment.
The entire convoy stopped together, GINN numbers 01 and 02 left the trailer, and then waited for the scout car ahead to send the report back.
After a short period of renovation, the mercenaries who had been through the battlefield had recovered, while the defeated soldiers of the Earth army were still in their sleep. They have always compared the rules and judged immediately!
I didn't have time to despise the thick nerves of the Earth Army. The reconnaissance car came back soon, and it brought good news...
