Views:

On June 14, 603 of the Holy Light Calendar, after a night of fierce fighting, the Pamigal National Liberation Front successfully recaptured the last two seaport towns, Port Philimuz and Port Saint Nicholas. The occupation of these two seaport towns meant that the Morosik Kingdom lost its colony on the Nubisian continent. It also meant that for the first time in two to three hundred years, an indigenous nation launched an armed uprising on the Nubisian continent and overthrew the colonizers. ruled and gained independence and freedom.

On July 7, the President of the Parmigal National Liberation Front, Tezzinger Nora Taganem, announced the establishment of the Parmigal National Republic, with its capital in Pedda Brazo. It is celebrated on July 7 every year. Independence Day. When the news spread, the colonies on the west coast of the entire Nubicia continent fell silent. No one expected that the Pamigal people actually succeeded. For a time, colonial sentiments in various countries were raging, and the relationship between indigenous peoples and colonists continued to deteriorate...

On July 23, two standing legions from the Kingdom of Resnian, totaling 125,000 troops, arrived at the country's second colony on the west coast and deployed troops on the border of the Pamigal National Republic.

On July 25, a standing corps from the main territory of the Principality of Vasilko arrived at the colony of the Principality of Vasilko on the west coast, gathering a reserve corps temporarily recruited by the colony, and also placed the barracks at the border of the Pamigal National Republic. .

On July 28, the Kingdom of Morosik, a country on the southern coast of Farea Continent, issued a statement, declaring that it would never give up its colonies on the west coast of Nubisia Continent, and declared that the Pamigar people in its colonies were rebellious. The Kingdom of Morosik will prepare its troops and fight against these rebellious groups until it regains its colonies...

On July 29, the Kingdom of Resnia and the Principality of Vasiliko simultaneously issued statements announcing that they would not recognize the country established by the Pamigal people. The two countries declared that the Pamigal people's rebellion and independent statehood were the greatest threat and destruction to peaceful life and social order on the West Coast. In order to help the Kingdom of Morosik regain its colony, the Kingdom of Resnia and the Principality of Vasiliko will send troops to help the Kingdom of Morosik quell the rebellion and eliminate the rebels such as the Pamigal people.

On July 30, three legions assembled from the colony of the Kingdom of Resnia and two legions from the colony of the Principality of Vasilko launched an attack on the Pamigal National Republic, and the Patriotic War broke out in the Pamigal National Republic.

On August 1, the first head of state of the Parmigal National Republic, Tezzinger Nora Taganem, issued a notice declaring that the Parmigal National Republic entered a state of emergency war and mobilized the entire population to fight against the Kingdom of Resniya and Invaders from the Principality of Vasilko. Head of State Tezzinger Nora Taghanem declared in the announcement that they are confident of destroying the invading enemies of the two countries and will fight back to their colonies. The people of Pamigal will help the brother nations of the two colonies obtain the same National liberation and the establishment of an independent nation-state...

On August 7, at the colonial border between the Pamigal National Republic and the Principality of Vasilko, the three newly formed Pamigal Legions relied on the defensive lines they built to withstand the attacks of the two Vasilko Principality Legions. The two sides fought fiercely for three days. For four nights, corpses littered the fields. The two legions of the Vasiliko Principality lost 40,000 to 50,000 troops and were still unable to break through the Pamigal defense line.

On the other side, the two standing legions of the Kingdom of Resnia and the original garrison legion of the colony easily defeated the interception of the two Hicks volunteer divisions and headed towards Peddabra, the capital of the Pamigal National Republic. Drive straight into Suo City.

The senior generals and commanding officers of the Kingdom of Resnia were very fortunate that their opponent was the Hicks Volunteer Corps with low fighting will. While laughing at the Vasiliko Principality's army being entangled at the border by the Pamigal armed forces, they could not advance even an inch. The slogan was shouted to break the city of Pedda Brazo and capture the half-blood baron alive. It was even announced privately that after capturing the city of Peda Brazo, the officers and soldiers of the legion would have three days of free movement...

Then, on the evening of August 7th, just when the officers ordered to camp and rest, the two standing armies of the Kingdom of Resnia were suddenly attacked by fierce artillery fire, and the most unexpected thing was that all the artillery shells were fired. It exploded on the ground, accompanied by countless long pipes that fell into the camp and the baggage train and sprayed flames. Fierce gunfire rang out from all directions, as if there were two or three legions of enemies surrounding them...

A legion of the Kingdom of Resnia, as the vanguard, collapsed in less than half an hour. The officers could not find their soldiers, and the soldiers could not find their commanders. There were people running around and corpses and wounded all over the camp. . Artillery fire, explosions, flames, corpses, blood, wailing, crying, gunshots, everything painted a tragic picture of hell.

The first legion collapsed, and the officers and soldiers who were lucky enough to escape from the hell of gunfire and massacre ran back for more than thirty miles, and were finally taken in by the standing legion in the middle. After learning that the former army was attacked, the Central Army Corps took strict precautions, strengthened vigilance at night and set up defensive measures and front lines for the camp. But all this was of no use. After midnight, the middle army was still attacked at night. Artillery fire and long-barreled rockets fired from all directions fell into the camp...

Rows of tents were burning blazingly, and the fire lit up the entire camp, giving the enemy's artillery fire a clearer target to aim at. From time to time, human bodies were sent up into the air by the explosion of fire, and then fell apart in pieces. However, the army of the Kingdom of Resnian is known as a strong force among the coastal countries in the southern part of the Farea continent. Even though it was bombarded by such fierce artillery fire, due to long-term preparations and strict military discipline, Resnian suffered heavy casualties. The soldiers of the Kingdom of Asia can still obey the orders of the officers and stick to the defense facilities and positions of the camp.

It was just the former officers and soldiers who were taken in by the middle legion that became the last straw. These former officers and soldiers who had been frightened for a long time blew up the camp the moment the flames of artillery fire fell into the back of the camp. They ran around, They were shouting in panic, "Escape quickly, the enemy is coming", and they were waiting for words, so that the morale of the entire military camp was fluctuating...

Several officers of the middle legion made a prompt decision and directly executed several former officers and soldiers who ran in front of them. But no one expected that the former officers and soldiers running behind saw this scene and actually picked up weapons to fight back. They had already lost control of their emotions and could not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. The only thought in their minds was to escape from the camp. Whoever stood in their way was the enemy...

So internecine fighting began, coupled with the artillery fire that continued to fall into the camp, eventually the escape became a torrent. Countless officers and soldiers of the middle army and the front army pushed down the fences of the camp. They just wanted to be as far away from the artillery fire as possible. They discarded their weapons and ammunition and ran to the back road. They had only one thought in their minds, leaving the colony and escaping back to the kingdom. Only in this way can you ensure your own safety...

It’s just that all the fleeing officers and soldiers failed to do so. The two Hicks volunteer divisions that they thought were easily defeated had blocked their retreat. The front and middle troops of the Kingdom of Resnia, who were unarmed and without even dry food and water, The officers and soldiers of the legion were helpless in the face of the tightly defended defensive line, and could only obediently raise their hands and surrender.

The news of the "Victory on August 7th" was like a thunder, shocking all the colonial authorities on the west coast who were paying attention to the Patriotic War of the Pamigal National Republic. When the war began, almost all colonial newspapers believed that the so-called Pamigal National Republic would be a flash in the pan and would soon become a chapter in history.

Under the joint attack of the five legions of the Kingdom of Resnia and the Principality of Vasilko, its end is doomed, and it cannot last for much time. All that awaits it is failure and destruction. The newly born Pamigal National Republic will not get a chance to grow. It will be wiped out in its infancy, and may even bring disaster to the five million Pamigal people living in the colony.

Quite simply, the Kingdom of Resnia is a powerful military power among the coastal countries in the southern part of the Farea continent, and the military strength of the Principality of Vasiliko is not inferior to that of the Kingdom of Morosik. The five legions from the two countries add up to more than 300,000 troops. Can the Pamigals resist this? It is already extraordinary that they can form three armies to withstand the attack of more than 100,000 troops from the Principality of Vasiliko. Then, using two Hicks volunteer divisions can defend against the three armies of the Kingdom of Resnia. Attack? That is impossible to happen...

The result shocked everyone who paid attention to the war. The two Hicks volunteer divisions did not resist the two legions of the Kingdom of Resnia, but let them drive straight in, and then held an ambush overnight. During the attack, the two standing legions of the Resnian Kingdom were wiped out, with only dozens of people escaping.

From the mouths of these officers and soldiers who escaped, they learned that it turned out that there were not two Hicks volunteer divisions, but four Hicks volunteer divisions. Coupled with the violent explosive artillery fire, flaming long-barreled rockets, and continuous shooting, the two regular Resnian Kingdom's standing legions that had traveled thousands of miles to the colony were gone. One-third of the casualties were lost in battle, and the remaining 70,000 to 80,000 horses were all taken as prisoners...

The legion that was lagging behind in transporting logistical supplies and supplies was assembled in the colony. When they heard that the front army and the middle legion were gone, they immediately stopped asking for supplies. The whole army turned back and moved forward at full speed, saving two soldiers at a faster speed than when they set off. Tian fled back to the camp arranged on the border of the two colonies and held it with all his strength.

On August 21, four Hicks volunteer divisions counterattacked and entered the Kingdom of Resnia Colony. The Kingdom of Resnia Colony garrison stationed at the border camp only held out for three days before the camp was breached. Less than A regiment of garrison officers and soldiers fled back to the colonial capital, Zarate Castle. The four Hicks volunteer divisions claimed that they came to help them obtain national liberation and establish an independent country at the request of the Rusman people.

So the four Hicks volunteer divisions swept and captured most of the towns in the Kingdom of Resnia Colony, imprisoned local officials, plundered the property of local officials and immigrants from the Kingdom of Resnia Colony, and took those captured local officials and immigrants were imprisoned in a concentration camp, saying that they would be used as hostages in future negotiations with the Kingdom of Resnia. Finally, the towns and concentration camps were handed over to the revelry of the Rusmans.

Even Chief Unemas Dia Modríguez, the most prestigious among the Rusmans, has repeatedly stated that they did not invite the Hicks Volunteer Division. He personally went to the colonial capital, Salat Castle, to explain to the authorities to clear up the misunderstanding. However, the confused colonial authorities still placed the chief under house arrest and asked him to order that the immigrants and local officials of the Kingdom of Resnia who were detained in the concentration camps should be put under house arrest. All were released and sent back...

At this time, the colonial government of the Kingdom of Resnia still occupied a small area along the coast, five or six towns, and two seaports. The Hicks Volunteer Division left two divisions to confront the defenders of the colonial capital of Sarlat Castle, while the other two divisions invaded Rodex Bay in the United Kingdom of Fox Islands. colony.

This is a disaster for the United Kingdom of Fox Islands.

On September 19, a Hicks volunteer division captured the city of Rodkers Bay, imprisoned all the immigrants and colonial officials of the United Kingdom of Fox Islands into prisoner camps, and plundered the property of the city officials and immigrants' homes. .

On September 25, a Hicks volunteer division launched a provocative attack on the Rocky Mountain State of the Overseas Dominion. Their slogan was revenge, as if to avenge the defeat of the Hicks Kingdom's expeditionary force. A local garrison regiment from an overseas autonomous territory stationed on the eastern mountainous border fought back. The two sides fought fiercely for more than eight hours. In the end, the local garrison regiment in Rocky Mountain State suffered heavy casualties and had to evacuate the border defense area.

The victorious Hicks Volunteer Division immediately plundered three gold mining bases in the eastern mountains and looted a large amount of gold sand mined. The Overseas Autonomous Territory Military Region was furious after hearing the news and urgently mobilized the third division of the Panshi Corps stationed in Lanhu City to go north to fight.

On October 18, the Third Rock Army defeated the Hicks Volunteer Division, regained the eastern mountainous area, and then entered the Rodex Bay Colony and started a fierce battle with another Hicks Volunteer Corps near Rodex Bay City. Gunfire continued all day and night. In the end, the Third Rock Division won the victory and captured the Bay City of Rodex, while the remnants of the two Hicks Volunteer Divisions retreated to the Kingdom of Resnia colony.

The angry Third Division of the Rock wanted to continue tracking and destroying the enemy, but was blocked by the newly formed Rusman armed forces at the border of the Kingdom of Resnia's colony. A series of armed conflicts broke out between the two sides, each causing several casualties. personal. However, the Dominion Military Region took into account that the Panshi 3rd Division had been fighting continuously and suffered relatively large casualties, insufficient troops, and exhausted officers and soldiers. It ordered the Panshi 3rd Division to withdraw to the Rodex Bay Colony to rest and recuperate, and no further friction with the Rusmans was allowed. Conflict...

After occupying Rodex Bay City, the released colonial officials came to find General Iquique, the commander of the Third Rock Division, and wanted to take back the rule of Rodex Bay City. As a result, General Iquique rejected their request and laughed at them instead. Because the Rodkers Bay Colony was recaptured by the 3rd Rock Division from the Hicks Volunteer Division, these colonial officials and the residents of the city were released from prisoner camps by them.

General Iquique said that the Rodex Bay Colony is now a territory belonging to the Overseas Dominion. If the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands wants to take back this colony, there are only two ways, either to declare war on the Overseas Dominion or to pay for it from the Overseas Dominion. Redeem this colony with your hands. The 3rd Panshi Division paid such a heavy price of casualties to seize this colony from the Hicks Volunteer Division. They couldn't give up this colony to them in vain...

This is true, not to mention that the entire Rodex Bay Colony has been looted and plundered by two Hicks volunteer divisions. Nothing is left. Not even the five to six thousand residents of Rodex Bay City are now They relied on the food and grass delivered by the third Panshi Division to survive. If these colonial officials of the United Kingdom of Fox Islands can take back the Rodex Bay colony from General Iquique with empty words, then General Iquique will be the biggest good man and fool in history, and he will be immediately Overseas autonomous territorial military regions enforce military law...

Some people suspected that the two Hicks volunteer divisions and the Overseas Dominion Military District were acting. General Iquique was immediately furious. He said that he had long opposed the Pamigal people in the Dominion Military District to recruit Hicks prisoners because these prisoners They are all wolf cubs, the ungrateful kind. At the same time, we also hope that the Dominion Military Region will not sell advanced weapons and ammunition to these volunteer regiments.

It's a pity that he is not the commander of the military region, so no one listens to what he says. Moreover, after the West Coast countries implemented trade bans on overseas autonomous territories, the MPs from those autonomous territories are eager to do more business and sell everything out. Well now, after being bitten by these wolf cubs, we know that these captured Hicks soldiers have always had a grudge against the overseas Dominions. Now they have become a mercenary group and want to provoke a war with the Dominion Military District...

On November 13, envoys sent by the Overseas Dominion Military Region arrived in the Pamigal National Republic and lodged a stern protest and warning to Head of State Tezzinger Nora Taganem, demanding that he must transfer the hired Hicks Division to The criminals in the regiment who provoked wars with the overseas dominions were captured and brought to justice, and the two Hicks volunteer divisions that attacked Rocky Mountain State and had a fierce battle with the 3rd Rock Division were demobilized!

However, Head of State Tezzinger Nora Taghanem stated that he could only coordinate the conflicts between the Hicks Volunteer Division and the overseas autonomous military regions, but could not take charge of the Hicks Volunteer Division. Because the Pamigal Republic has long ended its employment relationship with the Hicks Volunteer Division, the four Hicks Volunteer Divisions are now employed by the Rusmans in the colony of the Kingdom of Resnia...

On November 18, at Salat Castle, the colonial capital of the Kingdom of Resnia, colonial officials announced in public that Chief Unemas Dia Modrigos, a Rusman, was sentenced to death for treason. Hanged on the gallows. Tens of thousands of immigrants from the Kingdom of Resnian Kingdom looked at the body of Chief Unemas Dia Modrigos hanging in the air and cheered, as if this could immediately quell the rebellion...
