"Well done fellow, now we need to strengthen this line of defense and stop their counter-charge later!" Leon's battalion commander said happily to Leon.

"No, battalion commander, we have to move, this line of defense can't be held." Leon frowned. "Man, just us can't fight athletic warfare. We don't have flanks, and we can easily be surrounded. The most important thing to do is to use the heavy machine guns they left behind to fortify the position, I have informed the regimental headquarters, they will be coming soon. The battalion commander heard that Leon dared to disobey his order in public, and his face was a little unbearable.

"I'm sorry sir, I can't follow your orders!" Leon stubbornly said.

"You think you're going to be good if you tear through the defenses? Maybe it's just luck? Execute the command! "The battalion commander was enraged.

"Then you can defend your position here, I'm glad I'm not on the battlefield now, otherwise everyone here will be killed by you!" Leon turned around and left the position he had taken with his troops.

"Self-righteous bastards, fuck off!" The battalion commander roared behind his back, and the only thing that answered him was a sneer.

"Company commander, are we really going to go it alone? Will we be punished after the exercise? "The soldiers were clearly worried.

"Probably, but we're going to be dead in there. I guess that in that direction the enemy has at least three companies or so of reserves, plus the retreating troops, there are at least five companies of troops in the front, and the terrain is that they are higher than ours, and it is impossible for our two companies of troops to hold the main force to support them. "Lyon also seemed very helpless, most of the current German officers were still stuck in the positional warfare of World War I, and did not realize that the form of war had quietly changed." We're going to have to pick up the speed and have to get to the north side of the exercise boundary before the sun goes down. ”

Lyon had already looked at the map before setting off, and there was a wooded area on the northern border of the exercise area, which was behind the first line of defense of the defenders. The woodland area is vast, and it stretches across the second line of defense to the rear of the entire theater of operations. Since the first line of defense below the woods had not been breached, and it was located on the border, and it was woodland, and the troops out of the boundary would be judged dead, there was no way to deploy troops on a large scale, so Leon concluded that the defense there was very weak, and there would not even be anyone to defend it.

The sun was slowly sinking in the west, and Leon's troops hurried to the edge of the woodland before dark. Leon watched as the sky slowly darkened, so he ordered to rest in place for dinner, and then wait until it was dark to enter the woodland.

The darkness slowly enveloped the land over time, and Leon saw that it was almost enough, so he led his troops into the woods.

"Hey, tell the story, everyone watch their steps, get close to the second line of defense here, be careful not to be heard by them." Leon lowered his voice and said to the platoon commanders behind him.

"Understood, sir." Slowly, the second line of defense appeared in front of the soldiers, the soldiers in the trenches were sleeping soundly with their guns in their hands, the first line of defense in this direction was not breached, and they did not need to be nervous as a reserve.

When a soldier beside Leon saw it, he pulled the bolt of his gun and raised his gun to shoot, but Leon quickly pressed down the muzzle of his gun and said to him and everyone: "Don't fire, our target is not them." After speaking, he led the troops and continued to touch the rear of the battlefield.

Soon the end of the woodland arrived, and Leon stopped and ordered: "The three platoons take turns to send people to guard, and the others hurry up and rest, and there will be a tough battle to be fought tomorrow." As soon as the soldiers heard that they could finally rest, they fell to the ground one by one, and the battle and march of the day made the soldiers with the best physical strength panting, and the night slowly fell silent again.

The sun rose as scheduled the next day.

After a night's sleep, the troops are now in good shape, and after breakfast, Leon called the three platoon commanders in front of him and began to assign tasks: "Guys, spread out all your troops and fan search from north to south, our goal is the headquarters of the 3rd Regiment!" That's right, Leon never thought about fighting an offensive and defensive battle with the 7th Regiment from the beginning, and the 27th Regiment, which lacked heavy firepower, could not achieve much success in the attack, so Leon took a fancy to this forest at a glance, and he planned to enter the forest area north immediately after breaking through the first line of defense in one place, touch the rear of the entire war zone under the cover of the forest area, and then calmly find the defender's command hub. Ever since Lyon bypassed the second line of defence, no one had a chance to spot Lyon's group.

"Oh, company commander, you're too cunning, but we like it, haha!" The platoon commanders under him looked very excited after learning about the plan, after all, "kicking the ass of the three bastards" was everyone's goal before they set off.

The troops quickly deployed according to Leon's request, slowly fanning out to see if there were any houses nearby. Two hours later, the Sharp Knife squad at the front of the whole army came back from running, and Leon reported that a small village had been found two kilometers ahead and that an enemy force had been spotted.

Lieutenant Colonel John, the commander of the Third Regiment, was happily sitting in his headquarters at this time, and the reason why he was happy was because he was about to win. He and Gust were comrades-in-arms and friends for half a lifetime. The two always compare with each other, when they are still soldiers, they are more powerful than their marksmanship and physical fitness, and when they become officers, they are better than the troops they lead. However, due to various reasons, the troops of the two have never fought each other in earnest. This was the first time he exercised with Gust, although his troops were beaten by Gust at the beginning when he found a loophole, and even a battalion broke through the defensive line, but he still had the last laugh after all.

John looked at the map in front of him with a smile on his face, and the last unit of Gust's 27th Regiment was surrounded by himself on a hill no more than 1.5 kilometers wide, and it would take him two hours at most to win. Thinking of this, John burst into laughter again.

"Captain! Head! We were attacked by a unit that came from nowhere! Damn, they sneaked up on the guard company we had placed outside the village! One of John's staff officers ran into the command room in a panic.

"What? You're kidding, right? We haven't even lost the first line of defense, how can it be that there are troops here? John didn't close his mouth half of the laugh, thinking that his subordinates were joking with him.

But the gunshots that could already be heard outside reminded John that this wasn't a damn April Fool's joke.

"Captain! They have broken through the line of the guard company and are about to enter the village! Another person hurried into the command room.

"How is it so fast?! The guards even eat dry food?! The imminent victory and the departure of John made John angry.

"I said they were sneak attacked, in fact, the guard company thought it was its own people at first...... "The staff officer who ran in first said weakly.

John sat back in his chair with a weak sigh.

"Bang bang bang" "da da da" There was a burst of gunfire in the courtyard outside the temporary headquarters, and then it quickly stopped.

A young officer led a group of soldiers to push open the door of the command room, looked at the group of people present, and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, is your regiment commander, Mr. John, here?" Please inform him that he has been taken prisoner. ”
