Section 4 Inexplicable Training

readx;

The resistance - if that was a battle - unsurprisingly ended in failure. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info is not an ordinary rout, but a real annihilation.

In the camp of the enemy, a number of soldiers who had never been seen before appeared. Compared to these new horror creatures, the so-called "crankskins" are harmless as kittens. These terrifying monsters are so powerful that they are like humanoid mechas. The carefully constructed lines of defense of human armies are as ridiculous as toys. In fact, the whole process of the battle was a crushing process: just a single charge of dozens of enemies, and the entire defense line was destroyed. What followed was nothing short of a massacre.

Before the war, the Red Clothes sensed something bad in a series of small contacts. But it's a pity that others are not taken seriously, or the corps commander has other ideas. In short, the outcome of the battle was clear: except for a small group of people who escaped with the Red Coat, the rest of the people, including the Legion Commander, all fell victim to the slaughterhouse.

As a result, the supreme commander of the entire Banshee Gate reorganized into the 16th Legion (yes, this is the official number on the official text of their unit) became Lu Wu, who was the squadron leader. This is not a joke or a lie, but Lu Wu, as the squadron leader, is indeed the highest-ranking officer among all the survivors.

Of course, Lu Wu has been gone for quite some time. It stands to reason that he should be treated as a deserter or a lost soldier, but at that time, it was Lu Wu who got in touch with the Floating Fortress, and his name was recorded, and he had a place in the official documents. After the fall of the floating city, the situation was very chaotic, and no one mentioned the relevant investigation or anything. When everything stabilized, that is to say, due to the needs of reality, everyone began to prepare to deal with this problem, but Lu Wu happened to come to Vage and got in touch.

So, this "Supreme Commander" came to the camp in this way.

Of course, the so-called dismissal of the commander and the assortment of the lieutenant to take command was an expedient measure - when the battle was over, the superior would send a new corps commander, or promote one of the remaining officers. The Problem: The Legion is Lu Wu, but this legion is a legion directly under the Governor, who has tragically died in the enemy's surprise attack.

Lu Wu only now understands that there are two kinds of armies in this world. One is called the regular army, and the other is called the local army. The former belongs to the central government and the latter to the local governors. There is a near-parallel line between the two armies. The former is recruited and commanded by the central government, while the latter is simply understood as the private army of the local governor and is loyal to the governor personally.

This is also why Lu Wu saw so many people, some officers had military ranks, and some did not. For example, Colonel Daoer, he belongs to the colonel of the regular army, and Lu Wumo, if his title is written in words, then he is a "squadron leader (acting corps leader)", he has no military rank at all, not even a non-commissioned officer.

In fact, Lu Wu could have known this a long time ago. It's just that at that time, Lu Wu really felt that he was just a passerby, and he was just a small soldier, so there was no need to know so much at all.

In short, I don't know whether it was from the letter of the law, or from custom and concept, but in short, because of the death of the Governor, all the legions directly under the Governor were given an independent status. They were all free, and no one could command them until there was a new legitimate governor. That is to say, others (including the regular army) can only ask them to cooperate in the battle as allies, and cannot order them to fight as a superior.

Unless someone is willing to co-opt them, and they are willing to accept co-optation.

The garrison that came out of the crashed floating fortress has been absorbed by the regular army, that is, they have been part of the regular army from now on. Because they are fully staffed and equipped, not to mention some other advantages.

And a unit like the Sixteenth Army - to say that they are an army is not so much a remnant of an army that is reduced to an empty shelf. Things are always relative. No one can command them, and from another point of view, it can be understood that no one needs them. From then on, they had to solve all their problems, including equipment, money, and the wounded.

Uh, that is, everything has to be solved by Lu Wu, who is the supreme commander.

Well, at least these are long-term problems, and the immediate problem is the woman named Aki, or rather, the female officer of the regular army. And the phrase "don't blame me for being rude" she left behind is not a threat without real lethality.

As mentioned earlier, theoretically, no one cares about them now, but theory belongs to theory, and practice belongs to practice. The situation now is that all of them, including soldiers and refugees, are dependent on the regular army for their biological supplies, especially food.

In this case, where does the capital come from to refuse? For ordinary people, the current situation can only be said to be a little better than "half-starved and half-full." But if that woman did anything, it would have been very bad.

"So, I have to go to that meeting?" Although there were still many details and questions, Lu Wu finally figured out his situation. He, Lu Wu, a small squadron leader who had only experienced one day of military training, had already temporarily acted as the commander of the corps because of the relevant military regulations, and because of the death of the governor, he also became the leader of the independent forces.

"Yes. The red coat admitted. "Sir......

"Call me Lu Wu," Lu Wu replied. He really wasn't used to being called a master, a chief, or something like that.

"Okay, Lu Wu, in short, you have to go. The red coat spread his hands. "We've turned her down many times because we haven't been able to contact you before. This time she even came to our camp. If you hadn't been in touch, we'd probably have put you in the 'missing' category. ”

It's really ridiculous to say, Lu Wu is just a squad leader, and his theoretical authority is only in charge of a hundred or so subordinates. Compared to the size of a legion of thousands of people, it is not even a middle level. But now, he is the highest remaining officer of the entire legion (not to mention that the legion has been expanded once).

"What the hell is that Aki trying to do?"

"I don't know. According to her, she is going to participate in a kind of training, which seems to be an effort to make a big improvement on the current level of commanders at all levels in larger battles in the future. But I don't really understand the rest. All I can say is that if she didn't go, that woman would never give up. ”

Maybe he was in charge of the small soldiers and did not adapt to the role of a leading cadre. Although Lu Wu felt that this matter was strange, he had not really realized whether there was any other meaning behind this matter for a while.

Since you are going to a meeting to train something, let's go for it. Anyway, these things are not a big deal.

After settling Amber a little, Lu Wu took the car he had come from—the only two vehicles under his command, and it was with these two vehicles that Red Yi had barely escaped from the mortal battlefield with his life—to the city of Gashe. I participated in the training course.

The situation of the training course is no different from the cramming education of the earth, the curriculum is densely arranged, and as many courses as possible are crammed into the limited time, from tactics, battlefield command, logistics and special operations. It doesn't matter if the participants in the training can listen to them or if there is a need to talk to them.

To be honest, Lu Wu really didn't know that there were so many scattered troops in this place (because the governor died and they had no one to command) before. Three classrooms are held together, and each classroom has more than fifty students.

More than one student yawned, but the overall classroom discipline was not bad. It seems that under the pressure of reality, no one dares to be too presumptuous, even if they don't want to listen, they don't dare to affect the classroom discipline, they can't sleep, and they don't dare to interrupt the chat. Maybe this knowledge doesn't matter to others, but Lu Wu really learned a lot of military theory knowledge related to this world. He finally came to understand all the irrational things he had been exposed to in the past about the world's armies: for example, why there was such a big difference in the personnel of a legion.

As mentioned earlier, the military formation in this world seems to be very haphazard. A squad can have seven to ten men (not including officers), five to ten squadrons can form a squadron, and likewise five to ten squadrons can form a battalion, which means that a full squadron can theoretically range in number from the highest one thousand men all the way up to the lowest one hundred and seventy-five. There is a five-fold difference between the two. On Earth this is completely unreasonable.

It may feel unscientific, but it's actually more scientific than the Earth. Because this world has a complete method of measuring combat effectiveness -- a mixture of numbers, equipment, combat experience, combat awareness, and many other aspects, and the final total number is estimated and measured by some kind of magic (or some kind of machine). That is, on the surface the number of regiments does not seem to be fixed, but in reality this is simply because the measure is not the number of people, but the combat effectiveness. Although the number of different regiments varies greatly, the combat effectiveness is roughly equal.

On Earth, it is common for an elite army to defeat several times more enemies, but in this world it is impossible. Because a legion has only one legion's combat power, and it will never become two or three legions. This allows commanders to know the combat effectiveness of their armies in a very simple and straightforward way.

After a full day of training, I can say that I have learned a lot, but it can also be said that I have not learned at all. In short, it is really too difficult to change a person in one day's training. It is impossible for a civilian to become a qualified soldier after a day of training, and it is impossible for a mediocre officer to suddenly excel after a day of training.

Lu Wu originally thought that this was really just a short-term training - just like the training that must be carried out if you have passed CET-4 in college. But when the training is over on this day, which is the so-called "graduation ceremony" on earth, the real drama comes.

The female officer named Aqi took the stage and announced that the archons had ordered the organization of an operation to retake the Banshee's Gate. However, since it is unknown how powerful the enemy, the Exotic creature known as Kecha Goat, is exactly how powerful it is, the legion commanders under the command of the former Banshee Gate Governor have been given an honorable and difficult task: to organize a special force and capture an enemy. Of course, this enemy is not referring to the kind of "hard-skinned monster" that appeared in the early stage, but the enemy elite that appeared later.

The audience was in an uproar.

This demand is very reasonable, but it is impossible for any military strategist with a brain to rashly attack without knowing the enemy's background and without absolute certainty of his own strength. The best option to get to know the enemy is to take a prisoner. However, even fools can see that this task is really dangerous. Everyone present said that if it sounds good, it is a defeated army, and if it is bad, it will be a frightened bird.

And Miss Aki, or rather, the lieutenant colonel, was a special commissioner specially sent from the rear to accomplish this task. Of course, it is not known why there is only one commissioner, and not an elite unit follows.
