As a young major general in the Kingdom of Highlington, Stellar Gullus naturally has his own strengths.

In addition to his own efforts, his status as a close disciple of Bert Killes, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Hellington, also facilitated his promotion in military ranks.

But this does not hide the essence of being an excellent officer himself.

Looking out the car window at the fast-paced scenery of the northern wilderness of the kingdom of Capani, Strar, who was sitting in an armored transport vehicle, received the news that his teacher had been placed under house arrest by the king last night.

He wasn't in a good mood because he didn't support the plan himself.

Not to mention that the two countries are still bitter allies, and their own undeclared war is even more criticized. His Majesty the King, who can be regarded as a senior brother, is gambling with the fate of the entire Kingdom of Helrington.

Once in his eyes, there was no gambling with even the slightest chance of success.

Perhaps, before the Kapani Kingdom and the Gultoka Empire reacted, the Helrington Kingdom's assault forces were able to easily capture most of the northern part of the defenseless Kapani Kingdom.

However, Straar did not expect the southern heavy army of the Kingdom of Highlington to be able to rely on the so-called Enilu fortress line, a few thousand bunkers or bunkers scattered along the long border, and town fortresses to stop the Gultoka Empire's long-known armored clusters, because it was simply impossible.

In fact, he also knows that this line of defense can still be delayed for a while, but how long can it be delayed?

King Helrington[***]Most of the officers thought that two to three months was the limit.

Strahl made an objective, but equally reasonable, estimate with the few officers who knew the ins and outs of the line - a month.

And this can only be guaranteed when the two sides are evenly matched.

If the Gultoka Empire strengthens its attack, it may not be able to support it in half a month.

Before leaving, he and a few good friends made a map deduction (almost a flat plain, the sand table deduction is meaningless), and in the case of the attack of the border army of the Gultoka Empire, they deduced the calculation that the maximum time was 34 days, and the shortest time was 25 days.

However, if the Gultoka Empire mobilized the reserve troops of several large cities to join the attack, this time would be greatly shortened, and the longest time would be 17 days, and the entire defensive line would collapse on all fronts.

As for whether the Kingdom of Helrington will send reinforcements to support?

It's not a question of whether it will or not, but whether it makes sense.

The most elite army of the Herrington Kingdom is the southern cluster, and most of the other troops can only be overripe or half-ripe persimmons, except for a few divisions near the royal capital Moando, which can barely fight.

As for that royal guard, well, a few years ago it was the most elite unit in the Prince's [***] rank, but since that crown prince became the supreme commander, it has gone from bad to worse.

Now, maybe the armored forces of the Gultoka Empire will charge, and these people, along with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, will probably run away.

Therefore, most of the fighting power of the Helrington Kingdom was contained by the Gultoka Empire on the southern border. And if his action fails this time, although the Helrington army attacking the Kingdom of Capani is not exactly a force that cannot afford to fight a tough battle, it will not be too many either.

Because of this, his teacher didn't want his senior brother to tear his face with the Kapani Kingdom, but it was too late to say anything now.

He had to hope that the reaction speed of the Gultoka Empire would be delayed as much as possible, and that the kingdom would be set up a little more time.

As for why the king did this?

He didn't know, because even if the Kapani Kingdom did something unforgivable first, but if it didn't hurt the interests of the country, it would not be an excuse to send troops.

It's normal for His Majesty Toth III not to marry your cousin to you, you feel shameless...... Well, you have to ask the crown prince when he did anything to save face for the Kingdom of Helrington?

It would be nice that he didn't tarnish Hairington's national reputation.

……

"Well, I hope God bless Herrington." Strall shook his head helplessly.

But what he didn't know was that on their way forward, there was a force waiting for their arrival.

……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................

"Firay, are you sure that the other party will definitely take this path?" Zhang Shixin looked at the distance of the road with a telescope and did not find any movement.

And in this vicinity, all the combat power that Zhang Shixin can now mobilize has been ambushed,

Including on the side of the hill, it was not Zhang Shixin's armored troops who were in ambush, but thirty MG-34 machine guns, and forty blockers lying on the ramp.

As for his armored unit divided into two halves, two No. 3 assault guns with ten SDKFZ251M full-tracked armored transport vehicles, and the rest of the infantry units, ambushed in the woods on a roadside to the north of the hillside, looking for an opportunity to carry out a chrysanthemum explosion of the enemy for a thousand years......

With three tanks and the No. 4 anti-tank destroyer, he hid behind the weeds on the roadside on the south side of the hill and watched the situation.

Fei Lei, who was standing in the position of the machine gunner of an SDKFZ251M full-track armored transport vehicle, smiled slightly after hearing Zhang Shixin's words: "This is natural, since the other party is planning to raid Heather under the guise of transporting supplies, then, boss, don't you think that if the other party detours to the east of the road and appears east of Heather, it will arouse the suspicion of the defenders and mess things up?" ”

"Well, that makes sense, since that's the case, I'll continue to wait a little longer before making plans." Zhang Shixin nodded, looking at the situation on the other end of the road, and at the same time, thought:

"With a staff officer, it feels much more relaxed."

"It's because you've picked up a treasure, and you think such people are stalls all over the street???" Sinia said angrily.

"Well, that's right, even the other side is unlikely to have a large-scale tank force to make a prediction, and you can be lazy after seeing me." Zhang Shixin smiled beautifully.

Although the sun overhead is emitting scorching sunshine, it also does not damage Zhang Shixin's expectations for this mission.

Firay was also sweating, but all the same, he had great confidence in his own judgment.

……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................

"General, we've passed the town of Gilph, and now, Lieutenant O'Neill asks us how to get there, and the map shows that there are two roads leading to Heather." The armored car's communicator conveyed to Straar, who was sleeping, an armored platoon guiding the escort in front (this book uses the "three-three" armor formation, one armored platoon with three tank fighting vehicles, and so on). The armored car is not in it) asked the platoon commander.

"Well, let's go directly to the nearest road, after all, if you go around to the east for no reason, the other party's defending troops are suspicious, then it will be troublesome." Straar thought about it for a moment, but decided to take the nearest path.

Although he did not approve of this military operation, as a soldier of the Kingdom of Helrington, he had to complete the mission.

Because that's what a military man is.

But he absolutely did not expect that on his way forward, there was an armored force waiting for them.

What he didn't know was that just as they had left the town of Gilph, where they had just been reinforced, a telegram from the town council quickly flew to the nearby area.

The gates of a large number of regional armed depots were opened, and the weapons inside were then distributed to members of the militia......

This is also a conclusion that the senior officials of Capani City came to after receiving this unexpected, but also psychologically prepared news.

Because they really can't come up with more regular troops to resist the Helrington army, which may invade at any time, since this is the case, it is better to directly distribute weapons and let the militia troops defend their homeland.

While law and order in the region could deteriorate at any time, it was much better than ceding the northern part of the country to Hairington.

The lesser of two evils, Dural and Drucka and others made what was undoubtedly the most appropriate way they could take.

Although these militias may still be useless against the regular army, what the Kapani Kingdom lacks most now is the time to mobilize its forces.

This kind of play of trading human life for time may be cruel, but for a country, many times it has to face such a choice.

However, the people who got that information, including Princess De Perry, who attended the Council of State for the first time, were silent.

Maybe it's the unswerving love for that youth, maybe it's the protection of that youth, maybe it's the longing for that youth......

No one can say why they don't say anything.

Only in the middle of the night, De Perry, who had long blue hair, looked at the bright moon in the sky and gently stroked the ring......

………………………………………… Dividing line ......................................................

"Here it is, the units are ready to fight!!" After looking at a convoy of vehicles coming from across the road, Zhang Shixin quickly got into the turret, closed the top cover and gave an order.

As the communicator conveyed Zhang Shixin's order, all the armored units quickly started their engines, except for the troops in the woods.

"After the opponent arrives at our position two hundred meters ago, the No. 4 anti-tank destroyer and the No. 4 F2 will give priority to attacking the opponent's leading tank artillery for fire support! Others shoot quickly after the opposing tank is completely destroyed! The troops inside the woods waited for my order to attack the camera. ”

Under Zhang Shixin's order, the tanks in ambush next to the road, the infantry units on the hillside, and the three self-propelled guns hidden in a depression all quickly made preparations for the attack.

"400 meters...... 350 m ...... 300 m ...... 250 m ...... 200 meters! Now, fire!! Zhang Shixin roared angrily, and the No. 4H tank took the lead in firing a 75-mm armor-piercing shell at the enemy's convoy-led tank.

Three more cannons followed......

Under the blow of several 75-mm tank guns, several bullet holes were punched in the front of the hull of one tank, and after a while, it was paralyzed in place.

Before the other two tanks could react, one tank on the left was immediately hit by three high-explosive shells.

One of the shells exploded on the periphery of the tank, creating a crater more than three meters wide, and at the same time, the strong momentum of the explosion broke the left track of the tank, causing the tank to move some distance at the forward end, and the left load wheel fell into the dirt and was immediately unable to move.

Immediately after that, two smaller-caliber high-explosive shells drilled into the top of the tank's turret and the engine position behind the hull, and after a while, after two loud bangs, the tank's turret was blown away, and the hull was even more blown in two, and a blazing blue flame came out of the disconnected hull......

The last tank slowly turned its turret, and the gunner quickly aimed at a tank in the weeds with the turret side exposed, and pulled down the gun door to the lower right......

After a second, the gunner looked at the shell in amazement, and somehow blew up a crater about 10 meters from the right front of the intended target.

Immediately, however, he saw the weeds being crushed under the hull of a dwarf chariot, revealing its gray-black steel body, the barrel of which slowly moved towards them......

"I see...... the gunner realized that the shell he had just fired had been bounced off by the front armor of the vehicle.

The next moment, after the barrel of the tank in his eyes was pointed at them, the muzzle of the gun quickly ignited a burst of fire, accompanied by the unpleasant sound of a shell piercing the cannon shield, and a 75mm armor-piercing projectile hit the rear turret and exploded after breaking through the gun shield of this tank......

As the three tanks lost their capability, a sniper on the left side of the hill used his K98K sniper rifle to kill the soldier who had climbed out of the cockpit of the third tank, and the machine gun on the hillside quickly fired at the heavy truck in the middle of the convoy.

Most of them aimed at the location of the blue glowing energy tank, and used three or four rounds to send the 7.92mm warhead into the weak energy tank......

From time to time, there were trucks on the road that exploded because the energy tank was pierced by machine gun bullets, and some soldiers of the Duchy of Highington who jumped out of the car and were ready to return fire, and were named by the snipers one by one, although the infantry on the armored car also relied on the protective plates on both sides of the armored vehicle to return fire, but basically did not see the enemy's blind shooting, basically posing any threat to the people on the hillside.

Long before the first tank was hit, Strar, who knew that he was ambushed, hurriedly gave the order for the vehicles behind the convoy to quickly break through.

Out of this situation, he also thought that his actions were known to the Kapani Kingdom, and the raid plan was meaningless.

It's just that when the vehicles behind the convoy were about to reverse and turn away, the two No. 3 assault guns, which were silently observing the situation in the woods, also launched their own offensive.

The No. 3 assault gun, which quickly started its engine, quickly hit several small trees on the periphery, and then quickly turned in place, aiming the barrel at an armored car that was reversing, and the 75mm shell immediately penetrated the weak armor plate on the right rear side of the armored car, and exploded in the rear compartment of the armored car......

Several uninjured soldiers quickly jumped out of the rear compartment, but the muzzle of the machine gun on the right side of the body of the assault gun No. 3 emitted a firing sound (in fact, the MG-34 should have been on the roof, but in that position, the shooter was dangerous, so it was changed). The infantrymen were killed by the 7.92mm bullets fired by the MG-34.

Next to this incapacitated armored vehicle, another armored vehicle also quickly turned around, but they did not expect the presence of enemies in the woods......

"Boom", with a 150mm high-explosive shell unloaded, flew straight towards the armored car, and after less than a second, the armored car was torn in two by a 150mm high-explosive shell that exploded in the middle of the hull, and then there was no one who could stand up from the wreckage of the armored car that was covered with fragments around it......

In the end, the armored car or truck that tried to turn saw the armored vehicles that kept appearing behind it and a Santu 150 slowly crawling out of the woods, so they had to stop......

……

"General, the enemy has also appeared behind our convoy!! What are we going to do??? The communicator reported aloud the message coming from behind.

"What else can I do? Surrender......" Strall reluctantly and bitterly uttered the decision.

He also didn't want to surrender, but in the face of a few tanks and infantry blocking the front and back, now only armored vehicles can be used, can he still count on his more than 2,000 ...... No, can there be a decent infantry and dozens of armored vehicles in their early 2,000s, and in the complete absence of heavy weapons, they can be considered capable of fighting armored forces?

Strall didn't get arrogant to that point......

"......" Zhang Shixin was about to give the order to destroy the armored car where Straar was located, when he seemed to see the armored car in the periscope raising a small white pennant.

Zhang Shixin wiped his eyes in disbelief, it was indeed a small pennant......

"That's it???" Zhang Shixin was a little dumbfounded. But he still reluctantly ordered: "Ceasefire!! Cease fire!!! ”

……

Looking at the large pile of weapons that had been sorted out, Zhang Shixin knew that the commander of this unit had given the order to surrender, mainly because they had no way to fight him after the three tanks were destroyed.

And under the cover of a large number of machine guns and snipers, not to mention that Zhang Shixin has ten tank combat vehicles, even if there are only armored vehicles, if Zhang Shixin does not order the charge, it is enough to trap most people on this road.

Cluster grenades can indeed pose a certain threat to his tank fighting vehicles, but this is not a city, in an open area, tens of meters or even hundreds of meters away, a machine gun is enough to destroy an infantry platoon, not to mention dozens of machine guns plus dozens of snipers, which can make you rush behind the tank and throw grenades......

Well, Zhang Shixin admitted it, that's not a person, TMD is a guy who wears underwear.

Glancing at the large number of disarmed prisoners sitting quietly on the ground, a dozen armored vehicles and dozens of soldiers in MG-34 were closely guarded, they did not dare to make any movement.

This is the first time Zhang Shixin has captured a prisoner, and there are still so many of them, so he is still a little apprehensive in his heart.

However, not to mention that these people have become harmless white spots, even if they riot en masse, dozens of MG-34s will probably only need to replace the chain box twice to eliminate them all. What's more, he also has snipers nearby, which also makes him feel more at ease.

"Boss, there's a guy in there who wants to see you." After Fei Lei walked to Zhang Shixin's side and whispered, he quickly stood behind Zhang Shixin and followed closely behind Zhang Shixin.

Zhang Shixin frowned slightly, and asked Fei Lei to bring the other party over.

Looking at the young man in front of him, who was a little younger than him, but with a gold star pinned to his shoulder, the maroon-haired young man was looking at him with curious eyes.

"Do you think it's suspicious that I'm ambushing you with such a small number of troops at my age?" Zhang Shixin looked at the young man and said.

"Originally, there was a little, but after seeing this person, I knew that I didn't lose unjustly, and you are still 'Capani's hungry wolf', and I am willing to lose to you." The maroon-haired young man was Strall, and his thoughts that he was still a little unconvinced at this time had been put behind him.

Zhang Shixin glanced at Fei Lei with a faint smile and the young man in front of him, and asked curiously, "Do you know each other?" ”

"Sort of, I remember that eight years ago, our two countries held an exchange of military cadets, and we met at that time." As if talking about something unimportant, Fei Lei lightly told Zhang Shixin about the origin.

"......" However, as soon as he heard the military academy exchange meeting, Strahl's face changed slightly, but he still held back and didn't speak.

Although Zhang Shixin saw Strahl's expression in his eyes, he didn't ask in depth. Because he also thought of some possible surnames, that is, this guy named Straar lost miserably to the pervert of Firay.

Zhang Shixin suddenly had a sense of sympathy for Strar, because he basically lost all other projects in the hands of Fei Lei except in tactical command. He felt that if it weren't for the mercy of Firay's men, he would have died a miserable death in some projects......

But before Zhang Shixin realized that he should say something, he heard a sentence that shocked him: "I'm also with you, okay?" ”

After a long while, Zhang Shixin said suspiciously: "Why do you have such an idea?" ”

"Because I want to know what kind of person is that 'Miracle of Huros' and 'Capani's Hungry Wolf' who doesn't even spare a basin toothbrush...... Did I say something wrong, the old version has a bad face......"

After Zhang Shixin heard the origin of his nickname "Capani's Hungry Wolf", his face couldn't help but turn a kind of pork liver red......

And in his ear, an elven dragon smiled happily: "I told you a long time ago that you don't want to rob everything, but you just don't listen, hahahaha, I'm laughing to death, even the 'hungry wolf of Capani' who grabbed the basin and toothbrush, you are too talented...... Hahahaha......"

……

In the end, Zhang Shixin still left Strall by his side, although his ability is not as perverted as Firay, but Firay also has one thing that is not as good as Stray, that is, Stral's infantry and tan collaborative training is actually S-level.

Firay's effect in this regard is only A-grade, and the difference between the two is a whole level.

As for the data that the loyalty is not very high, but it will not pull out a gun and sneak attack Zhang Shixin for no reason, 89 points.

"What's the use of step-tan co-training?" Zhang Shixin asked Cinya.

Sinia replied mysteriously: "Now you may be useless, it should be said that it is useless for the high-level soldiers you purchased in the system. But if you set up your own recruit system, you'll find this stuff very useful,"

Zhang Shixin was thoughtful, and after a while, he said: "So this guy is a talent?" ”

"You idiot is really hopeless...... "Sinia said angrily, "Now that your troops are small, you are more than enough to deal with alone, but do you think you can command a tank division or even a tank brigade, and every tank moves?" ”

"So these people will be able to be intermediate commanders at that time?" Zhang Shixin was enlightened, and then looked at Straar enthusiastically, looking at the other party in his heart:

"Didn't you say that it was possible for the boss to become His Royal Highness? But this eager look ...... No, I'll have to find a place to hide......" Straar couldn't help but look around......

………………………………………… Dividing line ......................................................

That night, Zhang Shixin, who was camped in a forest, ate his own mushroom soup and asked Strall about something, while a small table in front of them placed a high-scale map of the kingdom of Capani.

"Straar, you're saying the Hellington Army will invade Capani in a big way?"

"Yes boss, if you look at the map, the main force of the Kapani Kingdom is now divided into four main parts." Strall said, gesturing his finger at the map:

"Boss, this line is the northeast front of the Kapani Kingdom, which is the closest to Heather, but it will take four days to arrive at the earliest. And the coalition forces of the principalities opposite them may not let this force withdraw easily. Therefore, this force could not and could not return to Heather. ”

"...... here," said Firay, pointing to the fact that Army Group Southeast was now moving forward to the Fedirgar area, about a hundred kilometers north of Karzasani, "Heather, if the situation really becomes out of control, then this force will be completely useless. Although it is the legion with the least pressure on the four troops of the king [***], even if they act, they will still flank the remnants of the noble rebels before and after, and will not sacrifice their roots to rescue Heather. ”

"And then there's the kingdom's mountain legions." Strar pointed to Slavol Mountain and said lightly: "This army is said to be the best natural defense line on the mainland, but to defend such a large area, 100,000 people are actually barely enough. Moreover, unlike many defensive lines, the defensive lines in other areas can be defended as separate divisions. But once a few points of Slaroor Mountain were captured, the entire line of defense would be destroyed. Therefore, the Kingdom of Kapani knew that this elite mountain army could not be moved lightly until the kingdom was in the kingdom. ”

"The last one is the central cluster of the kings, who are now mainly squeezing the remnants of the noble rebels," Firay continued, shaking his head slightly, "although the scale is now said to have reached more than 200,000 troops. However, according to my calculations, the military strength that can really be used in combat does not exceed 120,000, which is still a relatively optimistic estimate. Moreover, they had to completely suppress the noble rebels before they could withdraw their support on other fronts. It's just that even the forces that can be used to recover the northern territory are not too many. ”

Ferret paused for a moment, and after clicking three places on the map, he continued: "Here, here and here, is the soft underbelly of Capani City, if Heather falls, these three places must be heavily defended, otherwise, the most developed western industrial and agricultural areas of the entire kingdom will fall into the hands of the Kingdom of Highlington, and at that time, the kingdom with greatly reduced war potential will be unable to resist the joint invasion of various countries." ”

Zhang Shixin nodded, and suddenly, he felt a throbbing in the deepest part of his heart, and then subconsciously pointed to a small town called Remisi: "What about here?" ”

"Here? Remisi? The two of them looked at each other, then looked at the map, and finally shook their heads: "Boss, we don't see anything special here." ”

"I remember there was a large abandoned tunnel here that led to Horesian's." Zhang Shixin said this softly as if he remembered a memory that did not belong to him.

"Horesian?! Large abandoned tunnels?! After the two exclaimed, they had to make another comparison.

Then the two looked at each other in shock:

"This ...... If that's true, why haven't I heard of anything like this? Firay asked, suspicious.

"I guess no one in the Intelligence Agency knows about this." Strall shook his head scoffingly.

"Let's go check it out here." Zhang Shixin pointed to the place name of Remisi with his finger and said.

"You're the boss, you have the final say." Straar said indifferently.

"Does this place have anything to do with the owner?" Firay sensed that something was interesting.

"Because, that's my hometown......" Zhang Shixin said lightly.

"The hometown of the big bad guy, yes, yes, I'm going there too." These are the words of Hurley, who ran over and eavesdropped on them at some point.

Compared to Zhang Shixin's speechless look at Hurley excitedly, Firay and Strall looked at each other in shock, because the two of them had no sense of when Hurley had come to them.

"This woman, it's not simple......" The two of them unified their opinions in their eyes, and began to be wary of this girl named Hurley.

……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................

Two days later, some 150,000 Helrington troops crossed the barely defended border and invaded the kingdom of Capani.

Within days, most of Capani's northern territory was conquered by the Hairrington Army. He then laid siege to Heather, the largest city in the northern part of the kingdom of Capani.

It's just that the Kapani Kingdom, which had been prepared for a long time, gritted its teeth and mobilized a new division of mechanized troops to be stationed in Heather to assist the original two infantry brigades in the local defense operations.

The battle between the two sides grew fierce over time, and the defending king[***] abandoned his outlying positions and retreated to Heather in full force under the strong attack of the Helrington army at all costs.

It's just that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind.

……

After confirming that Hairington ignored the alliance and betrayed the alliance to invade Capani, the old king of the Gultoka empire laughed so much that tears came out: "Hahahaha, God will take it, and it will be retributed." Since that fool has done such a thing, then I will do it to him! I will receive news of Charsu's attack on Hairington by noon to-morrow!! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty!!! The Imperial ministers in attendance left the conference room one after another.

Then the old man looked at his grandson who was still left, and said in a deep voice: "William, haven't you found Hailey yet?" ”

"Grandfather, I'm sorry." The young man replied helplessly to the old man.

"Alas...... Soon after you were born, I lost my son and daughter-in-law, do you want to let me, an old fellow who has not lived for a few years, lose his child again? The old emperor couldn't help but sigh.

"Grandfather, I'll do my best to find Hayley." The young man couldn't help but comfort his grandfather when he saw him so sad.

The old king shook his head, and said with red eyes: "If this is my life, I have no choice but to accept it, you don't have to worry about Hailey's affairs, you can set off for Shasur for me tomorrow." You've grown up, William, and as a proper heir, you'll have to grind on the battlefield. ”

"Yes, grandfather. I'll leave tomorrow. The young man nodded, and silently turned to leave the conference room.

In the empty conference room, the old king looked at the closed door, as if he saw a little red-haired girl secretly looking at the people in the conference room, and then giving the old emperor who found her a mischievous grimace......

"Hailey, come back, grandfather misses you......" The old emperor silently covered his forehead, and the wrinkled corners of his eyes dripped.

……

Hurley, who was cooking for Zhang Shixin's subordinates, couldn't help but panic for a while, and then looked in the direction of the west, silently thinking about something.

Then he peeked at Zhang Shixin, who was looking at the map and thinking about something, his little face turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his head.

It's just that a strange thought suddenly appeared in her heart: "If I bring the big bad guy back, how will grandpa and brother react?" Oh, what was I thinking...... It's embarrassing......"

What the cranky girl didn't know was that when she was blushing and waving a large soup spoon, she happened to knock over a jar of refined salt next to her in a whole pot of broth......

That night, Zhang Shixin and his subordinates had the saltiest dinner ever......

Ask for recommendations, ask for comments, ask for favorites, thank you.
