The Norman cadet with a national face chose the side of the Union Army, which was superior, which was really unexpected by Weiss. But on the current occasion, you can only see the tricks and do your best.

In the opening stage, Weiss quickly calculated the feasibility of various tactics. In this war game, the combat effectiveness of the Falaine army was calculated at 90% of the equivalent units of the federal army, which was higher than the recognized level at that time, and most of the area of the Battle of Wallaine Lake was located in the territory of the Farian Kingdom, enjoying the concealment, fortification and supply bonuses of the local battle, but the Falaine Kingdom could only gather 40,000 regular troops and more than 50,000 national troops with very low combat power with all its strength, and it was necessary to divide the troops to garrison various fortresses and transportation hubs. Shrinking the cases and gradually abandoning these defensive facilities that can be used to contain, disperse, and consume the invaders' forces, with the land area of the Kingdom of Falaine, on the one hand, it is difficult to have a very obvious effect, and it is still impossible to form a military advantage in a decisive battle, and it may also give up the initiative in the battle, so that it gradually falls into a passive situation - this is a conventional idea, and it is also something that normal people can think of. Rather than discarding this seemingly unwise strategy, Weiss thought backwards: If he did this, what would his opponent do? Will you take the territory of the Kingdom of Falain one by one, or will you go straight to the capital city of Ryan and deal a heavy blow to the opponent's morale and look for an opportunity to annihilate the enemy's main force?

Weiss looked up at the face of the Chinese character on the other side of the curtain, and he was arranging his troops with a serious face, as if he didn't care what his opponent thought. I don't know if the Royal Norman Army Academy will use this battle as a sand table template for wargame deduction, anyway, at the Batton Military Academy, this battle case is rare and only appears in extremely difficult assessments.

With limited time in the preparation phase, Weiss quickly made up his mind and began to adjust the deployment of troops in the early stages of the campaign. Historically, although the top management of Farlane made military preparations for the intervention of the Federation, they underestimated the combat efficiency of the opponent. In just three days, the two Farlaine infantry regiments that had entered the Vislenry, together with the four infantry regiments and the two cavalry regiments that had met on the border side, were heavily inflicted losses by the federal army and the Vicennery guerrillas, 12,000 of the 18,000 troops were killed or captured, and the troops that had withdrawn to the rear were also wounded in large numbers. With such a bad start, the confidence and morale of Falaline's army quickly collapsed, and then almost all the rumors and grass and trees were all gone, which led to the amazing record of the Federation army pulling out 12 cities and capturing 4 major fortresses in 15 days, occupying 70% of Falain's area and besieging the country's capital.

There is no doubt that Visrunri is the "foci" of the loss of the moral high ground of the Fellaline Kingdom, where the Fellaline army gathers forces to resist the federal army, and the time, place, and people are not occupied, and it can be said that they are defeated before the battle. Therefore, Weiss decisively withdrew his troops on the eastern shore of Lake Valladen to his homeland, deployed two infantry regiments at the fortress of Anka and the fortress of Loferat on the north bank, and used these two fortresses as fulcrums to lay a defensive line along the Antval River, which was rushing from the north; An infantry regiment was deployed at the Lunsdy Fortress and the Mirren Fortress on the south bank, and at the same time, six cavalry squadrons and six light infantry battalions were deployed in the densely forested and well-developed Mirren Forest to attack and harass the enemy forces entering this area. In addition to these units and the garrison brigade stationed in Ryan City, Weiss organized all his forces into two mobile units, one deployed in a concealed area north of the lakeside port of Mud, east of Ryan City, with a total of six infantry regiments and four artillery battalions, and one deployed in the concealed area between Ryan City and the Antwar River defense line, with a total of five infantry regiments and three artillery battalions.

As for the large number of national armies, according to the setting of this war game, they need to be able to join the battle sequence of the red side on the 8th day after the start of the battle, and their combat effectiveness is calculated at 30% of their regular army, and their movement speed in the home is calculated at 60% of that of the regular army, and there will be an additional attrition penalty in case of enemy shelling or attack. Therefore, this is a force that is only suitable for beating side drums and playing cover, and it is very unrealistic to expect it to save the field.

"Are you ready?" Colonel Carlcent, who was the referee, looked at Weiss with a look of encouragement and concern.

Weiss took a deep breath and thought to himself, 1:5 and 0:6 seem to be qualitatively different, but in fact, they are just an extra fig leaf. Regardless of the outcome of this bureau, the federal military top brass should reflect on the shortcomings of the current military academy system and teaching model.

With this thought, the pressure in his heart suddenly eased a lot, and he nodded at Colonel Carlson: "Ready!" ”

At the start of the battle, the BLU unsurprisingly pounced on Vislenri, retaking the Free City in the second round. In the absence of military resistance, even if Weiss lurks in this "hostile area", he can only obtain extremely limited information, so he simply omits this detail and waits for the opponent to enter the away battle mode - even with the support of the people of Vislenri, the Federation army will still be punished by supplies for fighting in the territory of the Kingdom of Falaline, and if it goes deep into the hinterland of the kingdom, especially close to Ryan City, relying on land transportation for supplies will be punished by -20%, and the additional losses of the army will increase accordingly, In the case of water transport, the penalty is reduced to a measly 5 per cent in the case of control of the water.

With a water area of more than 6,000 square kilometers, Wallaiden Lake is one of the largest freshwater lakes on the planet Orens, with more than 40 miles upstream and more than 300 miles downstream. Historically, the Union army deliberately requisitioned nearly half of the country's light gunboats for this battle, and as soon as the battle began, it overwhelmingly crushed the weak but unhindered Falaine fleet on Walladen Lake. During the battle, the Federation ships, with the help of the military and civilians of Vislenri, completely blockaded Wallaidon Lake, making it impossible for the Falaline troops deployed on the north and south banks to move quickly by water, so that the two routes went hand in hand, and eliminated the Falaine forces that were holding the four fortresses one by one.

History is history, and wargaming is wargaming, and the two are fundamentally different. The former is a flesh-and-blood fight, and the commander must be responsible for the soldiers under his command and even the people behind him......

After four days and eight rounds, the rapidly advancing Blue forces finally reached Weiss's carefully prepared line of defense on the Antvar River. After a tentative attack, BLU chose the area between the two forts to attack. At the same time, their southern troops also entered the Miren Forest, which has complex geographical conditions, and began to be attacked by the regular guerrillas of the Red Side, in order to get rid of this endless "blood loss" as soon as possible, the Blue side chose the relatively small Rusty Fortress to attack.

The two garrison defense areas on the north and south banks of Waledon Lake were attacked one after another, and Weiss chose to wait and see in this round. With the strength of these fortresses and defensive lines, it is impossible to break through them in a short period of time without a four- or five-fold superiority in troops and strong artillery support. Based on the battle damage calculated by the referee team, it can be inferred that the opponent's attack on these two targets should be tentative, and of course, it cannot be ruled out that the opponent is deliberately misleading himself.

Just one turn later, Weiss's ships on guard patrol in the western waters of Lake Walleden were suddenly attacked, losing three gunboats and five patrol ships on the spot, while the opponent's losses in the water battle were negligible. In view of the fact that these ships are regularly dispersed, and there is a clear order not to fight hard with the enemy, there is only one explanation for such a disparity in battle loss ratio: the surface forces of the blue side are coming with all their might!

Frontal feint + landing from behind?

Weiss touched his chin, this tactical idea is not bad. If he sent most of his troops to the Antval River defense line to block the opponent, the rear was indeed empty. Once the Federation army lands on the northwest shore of the lake and gains a firm foothold, the landing force relies on the water operation and maintenance system supply line, and there is no need to worry about supply punishment in a short time, but the red army will be punished for battle damage due to the enemy's front and rear attacks, which is very fatal to the red side, which is already inferior in strength and combat power. Next, it is logical for the BLU landing force to storm the RED capital Ryan City or join forces with frontal troops to attack the Antval River defense line.

Want to get Patton Military Academy to swallow six bullets? It's not that easy!

Weiss frowned, deliberately pretending to be anxious, but in fact continued to stand still, waiting for the opponent's landing force to arrive at the door. The city of Ryan, the capital of the kingdom of Falain, is located northwest of Lake Valladen, but is not on the shores of the lake, but is connected to it by the River Ryan. It is obviously easier to block the River and prevent enemy ships from approaching the city than it is to defend the shores of the lake. On the northwest shore of Wallaiden Lake, there are many suitable places for landing, but the dock facilities suitable for supply ships are mainly concentrated in the lakeside port of Mude. Regardless of where the Blue side chooses to land, in order to ensure the smooth supply of the landing force, it is necessary to quickly seize a port after landing, which may not be the case, but in wargames, the player must do so because of the rules.

After this round, the Guozi face on the opposite side glanced at Weiss nonchalantly. In the next round, his landing force had already arrived, and the speed made many spectators show expressions that were not much different from Weiss.

This situation is a bit tricky!

The landing site of the Blue Advance Force was chosen in an open area 15 miles east of Port Mud. At the end of the round, the referee team provided Weiss with some information about the landing force according to the rules of the home battle: about 2,000 enemy soldiers had landed on the day, and there were a large number of enemy gunboats in the coastal waters, as well as a number of transport ships waiting to dock.

At this rate, at least 1,000 more soldiers and a certain amount of supplies will be brought ashore for the next night, and more and more enemy troops should land as time goes on.

Although Weiss's mobile forces were less than 40 miles away from the landing site of the blue side, and they could rush over in a few hours to annihilate the landing enemy on the beachhead, such a victory could certainly boost morale and change the situation, but it could not resist this great opportunity to "seize the right one."

With the mentality of casting a long line to catch a big fish, Weiss sent only one infantry battalion to carry out a night attack on the landing enemy in the next turn.
