"It definitely has something to do with those rioters, but we can't rule out the possibility of some of the officers stealing!" The officer said.
"Embezzlement?! Damn it! I was just about to punish those vermin! " Colonel Kno was enraged when he heard that. He had heard that some of the officers were stealing and selling food and ammunition, but he didn't have the time to punish them. He didn't expect that this time, those vermin would actually wipe him out!
"Find them and their families, I want them hanged!" Colonel Kno roared.
Soon, a large number of military police swarmed out. The troops guarding the warehouse were easy to investigate, but the officers and soldiers had already escaped with Andalia, so there was no way to catch them. However, the families of the soldiers were in trouble. They were not like the officers, who had the opportunity to escape with their families.
Therefore, the families of the soldiers became Colonel Kno's punching bags.
In the city center square, Colonel Kno hanged the families of the soldiers. Not only their parents, wives, and children, even their aunts and relatives within a few generations were all sent to the execution ground!
Under Colonel Kno's fury, the entire city was in danger!
To put it bluntly, Colonel Knor was a boorish soldier. He was a genius when it came to fighting, but when it came to handling these matters, he was too emotional. He didn't think too much about many things and just directly gave orders.
This time, although he hanged thousands of people in one breath, greatly increasing his prestige and making the common people fear him, it also made everyone in the city panic. Moreover, the most frightening thing was that the reason for Colonel Kno's actions with such great fanfare also spread.
All the supplies had been stolen. There was no food in the entire city. There was no bedding or supplies. Everyone had nothing left!
Now, there were two paths in front of Colonel Kno. The first was to continue distributing the supplies according to the ration, but there was only 20% of the supplies left. Although continuing to distribute the supplies would calm the people, he would soon run out of supplies.
The second option was to reduce the rations. With the current supplies, it was impossible to ensure that everyone was full, so the only thing they could do was to ensure that they wouldn't starve to death. That way, they could first endure until Colonel Kno found the lost supplies, or until the next season's harvest.
There were pros and cons to both of these paths. The first path was a gamble. If Colonel Knor couldn't find the lost food in time, and if he couldn't defeat the rebels in time, then his ruling district would completely collapse.
Although the second option was more stable, it would also make him feel uncomfortable because there was too little food left. In order to ensure that they could survive until the next season's harvest, Colonel Kno could only reduce everyone's quota. That way, he wouldn't even be able to guarantee the combat strength of the army.
In the end, after meeting with his subordinates, Colonel Kno decided to implement the third plan, which was a combination of the first two plans. They would limit the rations of the commoners, while the military rations would be given as usual. This way, Kno would face the problem of not being able to persevere until the next season's harvest, and the commoners would still be dissatisfied with him.
However, Colonel Knor still had some ability. At the very least, he could see the most direct way to solve the current crisis, which was to annihilate the rebels and take back the food they took away.
Although the officers previously said that the stolen food might be stolen by the officers guarding the warehouse, the food would still fall into the hands of the rebels in the end. After all, those officers had no use for so much food, and they didn't dare to sell it to Colonel Knor. So, in the end, they could only sell it to the rebels in the slums.
"Gather the troops! Attack the slums! "Colonel Knor gathered almost all of the troops, and the army directly marched to the edge of the slums.
However, because of the two-day pause, Lina had already led the rebels under her to rebuild the barricades and various defensive structures. If the military and police wanted to attack, they would have to start all over again!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The sound of cannons rumbled near the slums as the military and police launched their attack.
This time, the military and police attacked at a much faster pace because the resistance of the rebels didn't seem to be as strong as before!
"What's going on?" Colonel Knor frowned. This battle was much simpler than he thought.
…
"Miss, are we still going to retreat?" At this moment, Dollos was also asking Lina.
"It's fine. Have our women, children, and non-combatants evacuated?" Lina asked calmly, as if the rumbling sound of cannons didn't exist.
"They've all evacuated. They're now stationed in the suburbs. There's enough food and supplies there!" Dollos said.
"Then we can fight without any worries!" Lina nodded, before standing up. She turned to the rest of the militia and shouted, "Brothers, for your families, for the sake of ensuring that they have enough to eat and wear, for the sake of ensuring that they are no longer bullied and oppressed by others! Hold the guns in your hands tightly! Fight for a happy tomorrow! "
"Fight for tomorrow!" All the rebels let out a thunderous roar!
Whoosh! With a wave of Lina's hand, nearly 50,000 rebels quickly followed their respective leaders and merged into the streets of the slums.
Although they had the advantage in numbers, due to the huge difference in military quality, the lack of equipment, and the extreme lack of heavy weapons and Mechs, Lina did not intend to fight head-on with the military and police. She taught the guerrilla warfare skills that she learned from Jiang Fei to the core members under her. Then, she asked them to lead the ordinary armed members to form guerrilla teams of 100 people and fight guerrilla warfare with the military and police in the streets of the slums.
Once guerrilla warfare started, it was actually a battle of attrition because the guerrillas were almost always sneak attacks. If the military and police were not careful, a few of them would die. In this way, Colonel Knor, who was already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, would soon feel the pressure.
On the other hand, the military and police who were advancing triumphantly were enjoying the pleasure of victory. Suddenly, a series of gunshots were fired from the corners of the streets and the rooftops, causing the military and police to tremble in fear. Although the marksmanship of the rebels was not praiseworthy, these gunshots alone were enough to cause the military and police who were advancing quickly to hesitate.
After all, no one wanted to be the next one to be shot in the head!
"Damn it! Who fired the shots? Where is the enemy? " The officers were also frowning behind cover. They ordered their subordinates to continue advancing. However, the soldiers were not stupid. One by one, none of them were willing to go out and die.
"Suppress the energy cannons for a round!" Helpless, the officers could only use the energy cannons to open a path. After a round of bombardment, the gunshots were indeed suppressed. However, the military and police did not take a few steps forward before another round of gunshots were fired from the corners of the streets.
