The battle went smoothly, but slowly.
Street fighting that requires one house after another to be captured, and a melee with thousands of people crowded together, cannot be fought quickly.
However, the Skeleton Gang still slowly but irreversibly advanced from the northeast of Gesale. Some buildings needed to be fought over several times. However, when the reserve team went into battle and the number of people did not fall behind locally, and even had an advantage, they were defeated by the Skeleton Gang. Once taken, it is impossible to throw it away again.
The fighting lasted from morning to noon, and then from noon to afternoon. The Skeleton Gang had already occupied one-third of the city of Gesale.
Except for personally participating in the laying down of four reinforced fortifications at the beginning, and the defenders were obviously not those of pirates, the Satan Mercenary Group did not personally participate in the battle again.
A ten-man team would not have much effect against a battle involving thousands of people from both sides, and it was a building-by-building battle. Moreover, the main task of the Satan Mercenary Group was to command. If there is no situation where they must take action, the Satan Mercenary Group does not need to and will not go into battle in person.
A real street fight is synonymous with a high casualty rate.
The reason why it is emphasized that it is a real street fight is because although it takes place in the city, but the two sides cannot see each other at all, firing guns at random, it is definitely not a street fight. To be precise, it is not even a battle.
This time, the Skeleton Gang encountered real street fighting, and a large number of casualties were inevitable.
The first company lost more than one-third of its personnel in combat, the teaching company lost more than a quarter of its personnel in combat, and the second company suffered the heaviest casualties, losing more than half of its personnel.
Generally speaking, if the number of combat personnel is reduced by more than 10%, it will affect the morale of the soldiers. If the number of troops is reduced by more than 20%, it will be considered a heavy casualty. If the number of troops is reduced by 30%, then the unit must be withdrawn for rest. As long as they are not forced to do anything, they will not participate in the war again in a short period of time. As for the reduction of more than half, this army is usually on the verge of collapse.
Fighting is not only a matter of numbers. It is very difficult to maintain a good attitude and high morale when seeing your comrades injured or even dead.
The second company suffered extremely heavy casualties. The company commander was killed, and one of the three platoon commanders was killed and one was seriously injured. Now only one platoon commander is left to command the remaining troops and continue to fight, and he is always at the forefront.
"The platoon leader of the second platoon of the second company was killed! He is dead. Now I will command the second company. I am Mosar, and I am the deputy platoon leader of the third platoon."
A hoarse voice came from Gao Yang's earphones. The format of the report was not very standard, but since the war was like this, it would be nice to be able to explain it clearly.
Hearing that the platoon leader of the second platoon of the second company was also killed, Gao Yang felt sad. The last platoon leader of the second company also died.
"Mosal, take your people out of the battle! The fifth company joins the second company's position!"
The Second Company could no longer fight. Gao Yang gave the order for the Second Company to retreat. The Fifth Company, as a reserve force, had already entered the battle. It was enough to divide the troops and take over the Second Company's position.
"Report, we can still fight, but we won't retreat! Sir, we just won't retreat! Either we all die, or we fight until the battle is over. We will not retreat anyway, never!"
Mosar disobeyed, roaring his determination into the intercom.
Everyone can hear Mosar¡¯s roar. At this time, no one made a sound. Gao Yang frowned and gritted his teeth, but he didn¡¯t know what to say.
The Second Company disobeyed orders, which was never allowed on the battlefield, but it was impossible for Gao Yang to rebuke Mosar, who was now commanding the Second Company. On the contrary, he respected the Second Company in awe.
The Second Company's determination to fight to the death is rare in the world. Their combat effectiveness may not be that strong, but this courage is admirable. From a global perspective, troops who have lost more than half of their numbers in battle still persist in fighting and refuse to withdraw from the battlefield. , no matter how bad the equipment is, no matter how poor the training is, it is still an ace unit, an ace in the true sense, an ace that will not be ashamed to compare with anyone.
After a moment of silence, Gao Yang sighed and said in a deep voice: "Mosal, you can continue fighting."
After finishing speaking, Gao Yang, who had something to say but was unhappy about, said in a deep voice again: "Mosal, please convey my respect to all the members of the Second Company. You are the real warriors."
Li Jinfang, who was sitting on the side with a gun, suddenly said: "The people in the second company are all hard-core."
Gao Yang nodded and said nothing, but Li Jinfang continued in a low voice: "The Second Company has a soul. As long as they have one person left, the Second Company's establishment cannot be withdrawn. Even if there is only one person left, the Second Company can't withdraw." Even my soul can be left behind.??, even if all new soldiers are added in, the second company is still the hard-core second company. This is Hun'er, the soul of an army. "
Li Jinfang spoke Chinese, and the words he used were only understood by Chinese people. Even Irene, who is proficient in Chinese, may not know what "hun'er" means. But after Li Jinfang finished speaking, Grolev, who was lying aside, But he said: "The Second Company are all heroes. Mentally, they are very strong."
Different national strengths have different requirements for a strong army, but the spirit of the strong is the same all over the world.
When fighting in Somalia, unless they are surrounded and unable to escape, there is no unit that refuses to withdraw if its combat depletion exceeds 5%. Looking at the entire Africa, is there any unit that has a combat depletion of more than 100%? In ten cases, it is really difficult to say whether there are any troops who actively request to continue fighting.
Africans are good at committing massacres, but they are really not good at fighting, or to be precise, fighting tough battles.
Apart from asking the Second Company to shrink its front, narrow the attack surface, and let other troops take on more attack tasks, so that the casualties of the Second Company can be reduced, Gao Yang could not do much else.
While Gao Yang was feeling emotional, he received Mosal's report again.
"Report, this is Mosar. The target we attacked has surrendered. They want to surrender. Someone said that he is a pirate leader."
"He's been sent to me, so hurry up!"
Gao Yang was overjoyed. The war had been going on for such a long time and many prisoners had been captured. There must have been hundreds of people in total. However, when he wanted to ask something, he couldn't get anything out. The captured prisoners didn't know anything about everything. , except for knowing the orders he received, he didn't know anything else, and he couldn't get anything valuable at all, but with a pirate leader, it was different.
Gao Yang thought that the people who surrendered this time were the same as before, a small team of a few or a dozen people, but what he didn't expect was that more than 300 people were escorted off the battlefield. This time, it was Gesa. One of several pirate gangs in Lae surrendered en masse. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
