Chapter 84

When Weiss led a hundred-man reserve team to attack the enemy's rear camp, other soldiers who served as guards for the guerrilla advance team continued to strangle the Normans' marine forces in the woods without rushing to kill the Normans' marine forces in the woods. Part of this crushing advantage is attributed to the "time and place". In this environment of mist and smoke, the Normans who were small in number and had to fight on their own, but were defeated one by one by one by the opponent. In addition, the melee level of this marine force seems to be at least lower than the regular Norman field forces, and is even more incomparable to those famous elite troops.

In the Northern Frontier Campaign, the Royal Marine Division of the Norman Army created an invincible myth. After that, the Norman Army entered the Ulster border and repeatedly used the three-dimensional tactics of ground-based promotion of joint airborne assaults, destroying cities and setting up villages, and the scenery was unlimited. In the battle of Aocheng, the elite Norman army troops forcibly tear a hole in the Federal Army's impregnable defense system, pushing the power of airborne combat to the peak... In this woods, if the soldiers of the Federal Army's guerrilla advance team had such elite combat power, would it be like such a one-sided situation?

The current enemy is indeed weak, Weiss has long realized this. On the way back, he took a hundred-man reserve team to sweep away two Norman soldiers who were fighting stubbornly. Under the pressure, most of these Normans chose to surrender. The battle in the forest came to an end. A whole Norman Marines were captured by nearly 100 people, and the rest were killed, injured, and some fled into the depths of the forest in panic. In less than half an hour, the Norman warships that hurriedly withdrew from the battle kept "stand by" in the sky, and did not even pretend to fire a few shots. I wonder if the fleeing Norman soldiers would surrender to their superiors after they returned.

The injured Norman patrol ship could not come down, and Weiss's troops were helpless with the high morale and sufficient ammunition. He judged the situation and ordered the transfer - the wounded on his side were carried away by Norman prisoners of war, while the wounded Normans were dealt with urgently by the Norman's own medical soldiers, and then stayed here to wait for reinforcements to come and rescue.

While the morning mist had not yet dissipated, Weiss led the rear guard to chase the main force at full speed. When crossing the first hill through the low-lying zone, Weiss stopped and watched. Seeing the Norman patrol ship slowly descending in its previous combat position, the commander on the ship would soon learn about the rough passage of the battle from his wounded and fled personnel, and report it to the command center. During the troops' marching, Weiss and their radio interference equipment had to be disassembled and carried, so they could not continue to play an interference role. In fact, if the Normans mastered radio frequency hopping technology, this fixed frequency interference method would basically lose its original meaning.

From one mountain to another, this team with not too heavy loads walked for nearly an hour. On the second mountain, Weiss looked back and saw that the Norman patrol ship, which was almost sunk by the mortar, followed the direction he was moving. Although its flight altitude was within the range of the mortar attack, if he led the rear guards to redeploy the position and beat it up with a copy of the gourd, it would definitely take a lot of time to kill it. Moreover, the morning fog had dissipated, and the battle traces in the mountains and forests would definitely provide guidance for the Normans' follow-up troops, and it might be a disaster that would cause a catastrophe!

Therefore, Weiss decided to ignore this "Dog" and sent a command from the tail of the team to the head of the team to "advance in secret", and issued a warning to the captives in the team: If there is a noise, kill it on the spot!

In this almost primitive forest, tall cypresses, fir trees, thick pine trees and evergreen oak pine formed a vast forest after a sea of ​​forests. Although lush vegetation, undulating terrain and natural gullies brought some trouble to the troops' walking marching, as long as it was not the season of frozen valleys, the guerrillas could get very good cover. Back then, the Lorrain guerrilla warriors could last for a year under the repeated sweep of the Norman army, which made full use of the forest environment of Lorrain - unless the enemy dispatched a large number of troops to carry out iron-walled joint ground-space sweep, they could easily circle the enemy and bite the enemy when they seized the opportunity, making the Normans unable to disturb them.

As the most senior guerrilla commander of the Federal Army, Weiss would not forget his talent because of a small victory. In response to the flight route of the enemy's patrol ships, he calmly took his troops to take the "dark steps": sometimes still in the forest, sometimes marching quickly, sometimes concealing in concealment, sometimes crossing the gullies in batches. The sound of the soldiers' agile footsteps merged with the rustling sound of the wind blowing leaves. The enemy could not detect the abnormal noise on the ground in hundreds of feet of the air, amid the roar of the flying warships.

By the afternoon, Weiss's team had already walked twenty or thirty miles, which was considered a "successful escape from the scene of the incident". If the Norman patrol ship was not still wandering around, this battle would have been perfect.

The canned meat meal in the early morning made the soldiers perform very well from fighting to transfer, but they were not steel bodies after all. From the day before yesterday to this morning, they traveled more than 200 miles in the mountains and forests, entered the battle, quickly transferred, and walked for several hours. Their energy and physical strength were approaching their limits - Weiss clearly saw this. When the troops marched into a forest with streams flowing through, he ordered all the staff to rest and eat and drink on the spot.

After tied the Norman prisoners tightly and stuffed their mouths, the soldiers could not resist the heavy tiredness, sat or lie down, and fell asleep. Weiss did not arrange a sentry, but climbed up a fir tree and took on the alert for the entire temporary camp with his own strength. In his special vision, the Norman prisoners of war brought by him were depressed and had no fighting spirit. In addition, carrying a stretcher consumed a lot of physical strength. After being tied up, they could not cause any storm. As for the Norman warship, which had been reluctant to leave for a long time, was not only slow, but also seemed very clumsy when turning. It seemed that the damage to the external propulsion and steering device did affect its mobility. The reason why it did not evacuate was obviously because it received the instructions from its superiors, and there would definitely be a support force!

If you are mobilizing a flight ship or combat aircraft, you will arrive from Warrens or a further base in these few hours, but there are still no traces of enemies in the distant sky... The Norman cruiser that appeared earlier can be urgently replenished fuel supplies or loaded combatants in Warrens. If it does not come, it may be transferred to another place to perform other tasks. As long as this big guy does not appear, the psychological pressure of the soldiers will be reduced a lot, and sufficient self-confidence is undoubtedly an important soft guarantee for the next action.

While observing the enemy situation, Weiss was planning to make the follow-up arrangements. He planned to let the soldiers sleep for four or five hours. Although they could not recover their physical strength by 100%, it was enough for them to maintain their normal state before the next rest. It was dark after four or five hours. Even if there was no fog, the Norman warship was basically "blind" and just need to adjust the route slightly to completely shake it off. However, when it was almost two hours before dark, the originally bright sunshine was blocked by a large cloud floating in the east. The sky suddenly became gloomy and the wind began to strengthen. Although the sight on rainy days was not as bad as the fog days, the bad weather was always favorable for the guerrilla advance team fighting alone in the enemy-occupied area.

Before the rain could fall, uninvited guests came to the horizon. Entering Weiss's vision were two Norman transport ships full of combat personnel. Judging from the observed combat readings, one ship had a crew of more than 800, and the other was 500+. Excluding the crew, the combat personnel carried by these two transport ships should be between 1200-1300, which may be two ordinary land battle battalions, an elite reinforcement battalion, or a mob pieced together by several companies.

Two Norman transport ships came from the east at a very fast speed. When it crossed the woods where the battle had occurred before, Weiss' heart suddenly felt a throbbing. This rare feeling seemed to appear only in some special circumstances. Could it be said that... his destined enemy - also his close relative of blood, the former pride of the Klumber Heisen family - the military nobleman granted by the Norman Dynasty, the Baron of the Sabre of Noo Scala - the Ze-Klumber Heisen who had faded his real name, is here!

The Norman Frigate was at this moment about ten miles away from Weiss and their temporary resting place, not far away, not near, and the two Norman transport ships set the flight direction from their appearance. At this time, Weiss couldn't sit still no matter how eager he was to sit down. He slid down from the tree, first woke up the officers and non-commissioned officers, and used concise language to tell them that a new enemy situation appeared. They then woke the soldiers one by one, making the awakening process quiet and orderly.

It seems that they were alerted by friendly combat reports. The two transport ships did not fly close to the treetops, but maintained at a height of 1,000 feet. They slowed down and fell before they reached the predetermined landing position. The last half was basically a rapid vertical landing. The landing point was exactly the upper reaches of this stream. There, a small piece of lush trees lacked, which provided unimpeded conditions for the landing of the flying ships. If it was a thick tare assault ship, even a dense forest could force the landing. Light warships and ordinary transport ships were like cars, and forcibly hitting trees would not have a good end.
