Chapter 48: Changing Formations
In the territory of the Former Fire Country, behind the battle line of the Konoha troops, in a small camp.
"Captain Yamanaka, there's news ahead."
A young man with a thin physique but steady pace walked in with a battle report and spoke.
"Say." Yamanaka Gokuchi slowly massaged his temples, a little tired.
"In the second echelon ahead, Captain Makoto Uchiha led his squad to break through 5 kilometers, and found no trace of the enemy's large forces, he suspected that the enemy had made tactical adjustments, and now the enemy's movements and positions are unknown."
Yamanaka Miku's nerves, which had awakened slightly from hearing Makoto Uchiha's name, became more painful from his subordinates' next words.
"Advance first and report later...... Forget it, what about the battle reports of the other squads in the second echelon? ”
"Because Captain Makoto and they are out of the range of psychic and radio contact, this news is actually transmitted back from other teams in the second echelon...... And ......"
"What else?" Yamanaka Gokuchi stabbed his eyebrows with his fingernails, and it was through the sharp pain that he focused his scattered attention.
"According to the information left by the last radio contact of the Makoto team, they are heading directly to the location of Lord White Fang, and besides, they are asking the other teams to follow."
“……”
Yamanaka didn't speak, he strode over to the map hanging on the side of the tent, and the young man who was making the report followed quietly.
White Fang's previous orders did have the content of "improvisation", but this authority to modify the Supreme Commander's instructions should obviously be in his own hands. Yu Jiu thought a little depressed and a little angry, but fortunately, the other teams didn't mess around with that Uchiha, and the situation was still under control.
The most urgent task now is to confirm the enemy's movements.
As the lieutenant of White Fang's mission, Yamanaka Yujiu is a veteran who has fought many times, and it is simply impossible to make the enemy act exactly according to his own will, so in addition to trying his best to think about how to deal with it, there is no superfluous emotion in Yujiu's mind at all.
"Mijuro, give the order to go down, the second echelon will change formation, gather into a squad and follow the traces left by Makoto's team, defense and exploration will be the mainstay, and if necessary, you can abandon the 'individual squad' that is too deep and withdraw before falling into the encirclement.
"The third and fourth echelons advance in reconnaissance formation, pay attention to the possibility of the enemy's large forces gathering and breaking through, keep in touch at all times, and do not fall in love with the battle.
"The rest of the echelons are ready to support."
Mijuro nodded silently and turned around to leave the barracks.
"That's right." Yamanaka Yujiu called out to stop him.
Mijuro turned around and looked sideways.
Even with this action, he was thin and weak, but he was still as calm and stable as a stone pillar.
"Command is asked to move forward and bring the second echelon at the forefront into the scope of psychic induction."
"Yes, Captain." Reliable and reassuring responses.
The adjutant of the Yamanaka family smiled bitterly: "You can not call me captain after saying that...... Forget it, go and go back quickly, I'll come over and help me pack up my equipment, I've been holding it for too long before, and I'm in a bad state. ”
"Hmm." Mijuro took a closer look at the bloodshot in the chief's eyes, stopped talking nonsense, and walked out quickly.
Leaving Yamanaka Goku, he sat back in the room for a moment with his eyes closed, and suddenly burst out laughing.
This younger brother of his own, who has been silent since he was a child, although as he grows older, most people praise him with composure and stability, but only he knows that it is just because people can't see through Mijuro's heart.
Although the relationship between brothers is not fake, Yu Jiu is often curious, what is this guy's head thinking all day long?
#####分割#####
"Take a break." Makoto ordered.
The stronger Fu Yue slowed down, went up and down, and disappeared among the mountains and rocks, but found a place to hide.
Yoshiro and Shuto stopped, but they didn't look tired.
After all, they are all relatively elite Shangnin, so they will not show weakness in this regard, if it is not in the area where the enemy has an advantage, they will not have much reaction if they are on the road for a day and a night.
However, in the event that you are under siege by many enemies at any time, it is necessary to maintain optimal condition.
Although it can be recovered through the medicine "Soldier Rations Pill", if the Soldier Rations Pills are not used in more urgent situations, with the stocks they carry, it is impossible to support a complete battle.
After initially eliminating 3 enemies who probably didn't have time to receive orders, Makoto hasn't seen an enemy for a long time. This kind of feeling that he knows that there are many enemies nearby, but he can't touch the feeling of being invisible, is really uncomfortable, and Cheng puts most of his energy on searching for the enemy's traces with his five senses, and he doesn't dare to distract himself from cultivation in this situation.
If only there was a roll of the eye.
Makoto thought a little anxiously, and let out an exclamation that all the Konoha commanders, and even all the commanders in the ninja world, couldn't help but let out in this situation.
I don't know who invented the word "fog of war", but I sincerely feel that this word is too appropriate, even if it is still in the original territory of Konoha now, the Konoha ninjas are still relatively familiar with the terrain, but in the case of completely ignoring the other party's information, there is a thick fog that covers everything on this terrain.
In a battle with a class of ninja with extreme mobility and stealth ability, even the road Makoto has just walked, he does not dare to assert that it must be safe.
Thinking of the reconnaissance range of Ningci kilometers in the original book, it is really more than a "comfortable" thing.
If you have to compare it, it's probably the difference between having eyes and not having eyes in team battles......
I heard that in the Second Ninja War, the Yamanaka and Hyuga clans joined forces to "light up" the map of the entire rain country area, and this kind of almost open cheat weapon to fight the other party, Konoha who had a complete advantage in intelligence, suppressed the vanguard of the earth and rain with less than half of the troops, and successfully dragged the war to the allied forces of the land of thunder.
If you have a white eye......
Makoto slowly pulled out the long knife.
Yoshiro and Shuto reacted almost immediately, and after each stuffing a chakra recovery pill into their mouths, they put on a back-to-back fighting stance.
After the unpleasant "crunching" sound of wooden joints moving, these puppeteers also unscrupulously let the puppets show their existence with various movements.
In the endless "crunching" sound, at least a dozen large puppets rose from all directions, but they did not attack for a while, but cruised in the air, their figures intertwined, their deliberately designed hideous and terrifying faces, as if they were laughing silently, and their wooden eyes were even more hollow to make people feel cold.
At the same time, a few kilometers away on the Konoha Front, a large number of ninja squads were connected to each other within the limit distance of a radio, spreading the formation forward, and farther away, countless people with their families and mouths, under the "persuasion" of the ninjas, left their homes and slowly migrated on the land like ant colonies, converging into a stream.
