Chapter 17: The Great of Hickland
"Elder, the heavy tank on the left ignored the entanglement of our people and directly crashed all the way up!"
"Kokomo, how many times have I said that the direction should not be left and right, no one can understand it......"
"But I have no problem communicating with the soldiers, and there is nothing the soldiers don't understand. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Ndomingo turned his head sideways, no longer answering the words of this tall and handsome communication soldier, thinking that since the heavy tank did not eat the bait and rushed straight to the north, there was not much to deal with here, and said: "The herald does not need to take the initiative to attack and harass them nearby, and the other teams speed up and rush to the assembly point...... Tell Ivana to hurry up and get ready. ”
"Oh, Elder, don't you understand that very well......"
"That's because I already knew where the heavy tanks were, and it doesn't matter where they are now, go give the order!" Ndomingo scolded, and hurried Kokomo away.
The high-level communication soldier responded, and he somersaulted backflip, flipped three times in a row, and when his whole body increased his speed under inertia, he connected to the air and turned around during another somersault, and disappeared into the corner of the street like a gust of wind.
The sound of gunfire was continuous, and the explosion of cannon nails was in my ears. The Emerald Wind soldiers in charge of this section of the defense shouted loudly, telling Ndomingo to notice that the enemy was beginning to counterattack under the cover of artillery shelling.
Hoping that Ivana and they would have time, he prayed silently in his heart, and Ndomingo raised his waist, which was completely inconsistent with his elder's robes, but it was a standard mobile life-saving posture on the battlefield, and he leaned against the street wall and followed his soldiers to retreat north, and now he relied on the advantage in the number of troops to carry out a wheel formation layer by layer defense.
The whole wing was divided into two parts, each with five soldiers of about six hundred, twice as many as the three soldiers pursued by the Hicklands from the leafy avenue, but since the other side had twenty tanks of various types, including two heavy tanks, it was useless to fight head-on.
As the supreme military commander of the Emerald Wind Army, Ndomingo first divided the 600 men into four groups to block the pursuit of the Hickland army in three directions and attract heavy tanks, while the other part retreated to the rear to build a defensive line, waiting for the rout of the first part of the 600 men to lead the Hicklands over to block it, while the defeated part retreated further back to rest and build a new defensive line, and so on.
At the beginning of the battle, under the heavy firepower of the Hickland tanks, the Emerald Wind Army was about to collapse at the touch of a button, but as the delay became longer and longer, the other part of the Emerald Wind Army had more and more time to prepare the defense line, and the battle line slowly fell into a stalemate, so at this time, the heavy tanks would resolutely give up the entanglement and rush straight north, probably trying to attack the Emerald Wind Army front from the flank or behind......
The fundamental reason for the current situation is that Wali City is a city of Wagu Nagu people, where the Wind People have lived for generations, coupled with the characteristics of their Wind People race, they are very familiar with every grass, tree, brick and tile of the city, which buildings are strong enough to withstand tank shelling, where the streets are narrow enough and the road conditions are the most complicated, which can limit the mobility of armored vehicles except for heavy tanks to the greatest extent, where there are ponds and drainage channels that can block the opponent's advance, and where houses can provide the perfect place for stealth and sneak attacks...... The Emerald Wind Army can be taught to the people of Hickland like a few treasures, and of course the tuition is blood and life.
This is also the reason why in the past four cycles, the Hicklands, who have an absolute advantage in equipment, have been fighting against the Emerald Wind Army in the city, especially with the support of the "Magic Messengers" of the Wind People's casters, although the Emerald Wind Army is not offensive enough, it is absolutely solid defensively- Until now, the Cuifeng Army has exposed such a big flaw, the First Armored Wing of the Sixth Corps, which has four independent combat experiences, is also a symbol of the elite in the entire Shekland Imperial Army, and the officers and soldiers who joined this unit are all very good in the same period, especially the non-commissioned officer candidates as commanders, each of them is not an ordinary military academy honor student.
Its current non-commissioned officer Diri has an unusual sense of smell on the battlefield, like a vicious wolf in the wilderness, as long as there is a trace of carelessness and flaws in the prey's actions, he can quickly grab and pounce, tear the prey, but also take a bite, and then wait for the prey to lose blood, hurt and then reveal more flaws, and finally kill it.
And the premise of being able to achieve such an effect is to retain the strength and energy of his team, so he never lets his troops make senseless sacrifices, even if the final battle can be won, he will not fill it with his own blood, and it is a "wild wolf" wandering around the prey, and it is this sense of smell of the prey that allows him to see at a glance the killing intention hidden in the signs placed by Yu Youzi "unintentionally" on the sand table, and now it is time for him to start biting off the flesh and blood of the prey.
"Sir, the Northern Front has reported that two more members of the Second Soldier Brigade have lost contact, they have met Ndomingo and lost one assault tank. ”
The Hicklands were stationed in a nondescript bungalow five kilometers from the Emerald Wind Fortress, and one of the recruits carried a copy of the correspondence scroll and loudly reported the latest battle situation to Diri in front of the sand table, and another member of the army next to him took the flag representing Shi from the direction of the second soldier's advance.
"Got it. Diri said hoarsely, lowering his gaze without raising it, staring straight at the sand table and thinking about the overall battle situation.
After hesitating for a while, he mustered up the courage to say loudly: "Sir, my subordinates think that it is enough for the northern front to drag down the Ndomingo Luan Department, and there is no need to enter the city to engage in street fighting, which will only cause huge unnecessary casualties just like the first wave of attacks four years ago!"
The other eight or nine soldiers in the command put down their work for a while, you look at me, I look at you, and they saw the same looks- They didn't quite understand why they were chasing after this lone army, it was important to say that the Sacrifice of Ndomingo and the Wind was important, but as long as they captured their lair, they would lose their military stronghold in Valli, and there would be no place for the Emerald Wind Army to stand in the city, and the unarmed mob of 50,000 people gathered in other parts of the city would not be afraid at all, and a heavy tank would be enough to deter them all, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that our army had successfully captured Valli City by then.
Therefore, it is enough to let two heavy tanks contain the Luan Ministry that suddenly appeared on the northern front, and it is the key to concentrate all the forces to solve the general base of the fortress here first, instead of dividing nearly half of the army to actively pursue and attack Ndomingo in the north...... Although this side was under the strong attack of the other eight heavy tanks, the outer wall of the fortress of the Cuifeng Army had been blown down, and the offensive of the main force was progressing smoothly, because it was still in the stage of long-range artillery warfare, the infantry did not suffer any casualties, but the second battlefield of the pursuing troops in the north suffered heavy casualties, which was completely contrary to the standard course of the military academy in the "Theory of War" by Godvime Peller.
Pelle the Great, known as a generation of military gods, is the third emperor of the Hickland Empire, that is, the grandfather of the current emperor, the second person to be crowned with the title of "Great" since the Hickland people entered the imperial era, the first emperor was the founding king, and named the woman of this new country with his own name "Hickland".
Yu Youzi finished reading the biography of Emperor Hiklan when he was in the Cassuda Amusement Park, it was really a strange woman, she was in the era when the old order of the ancient land of Kangwana collapsed, and the new order had not yet been established, and the people of this land still had strange prejudices against women, perhaps according to the analysis of a sociological book, this is the inferiority complex of the local people in the face of the Wagu Nagu people, because the Wagu Nagu people, both male and female, are generally beautiful and feminine...... No matter what the reason is, anyway, the folk tradition at that time was that the daughters of the lower classes did not have their own names, let alone inherit the surname, just like this girl called "Hickland", Hickland is actually the title of her nation, there are thousands of "Hickland" in the entire tribe, but "Hickland the Great" is only her......
The girl's life is a legend, even her love, marriage is a magnificent adventure, she with the level of training in the Tower of Babel, military command ability, with the help of his own adventure group of eleven members of the foundation laid the initial foundation of the empire, leaving behind the legend of "one man eleven swords to level thirty-two counties".
Time passed, but her son and daughter were torn over their own personal ambitions and desires, and when she died, the empire was completely divided into several pieces, and the political situation was turbulent and warlike, and the ancient land of Conwana seemed to have changed back to the situation when she was a girl. By the time her grandson Beller came of age, the Hickland Empire was already crumbling.
Beller was just an inconspicuous little guy among the descendants of the Hickland Great, who had been ordinary as a child, but when he graduated from the "Hickland Imperial Military Academy" founded and named by his grandparents as an adult, he made a splash and played "imperial greatness" Gathering a group of students who studied with him and were deeply dissatisfied with the shattered and corrupt status quo of the empire, they fought for the realization of their lofty ideals, setting off a frenzy that swept across the ancient land of Kangwana, and even the ancient land of Rauni, across the river, was more or less involved.
The first generals of the twenty-two legions of the empire were all born from this group of students, and they wrote the history of their generation with the southern and northern wars of Peile...... In short, that's another story, Yu Youzi has no mind and need to gnaw on the entire history of Hickland that is lined with bookshelves for the time being.
As a result, the Hickland Empire was reunited and annexed a circle of countries that were trying to take advantage of the chaos, and as a result, the empire more than doubled in size, and because of his exploits, Pelle was given the title of "The Great", and although the great cause of the empire had not yet been realized, the foundation for its realization had been laid.
Now Emperor Pele the Great is a dying old man, living in seclusion, handing over all power to his son. During the last period of his reign, Emperor Peller summarized and refined the course of his grandmother's life with his own military horses into a "Theory of War". Because his identity has been the background of the Imperial Military Academy, as soon as this book came out, it was set as a compulsory standard textbook by the Chickland Imperial Military Academy, and then used as a textbook by thousands of military schools and became a classic to circulate in the world. What is even more remarkable is that every graduate of the Imperial Military Academy takes the example of the "Theory of War" as the highest and inviolable dogma, and all operational plans and plans must be formulated on the premise that they do not contradict the "Theory of War."
And there is such an article in the "Theory of War" that says this: only by attacking the main battlefield in an all-out way, containing the secondary battlefield, and concentrating the main forces to give priority to annihilating the enemy's main force, can we effectively avoid any unexpected situation in the battle situation. It is clear that Diri's current battle plan has completely deviated from the classics, and if he loses because of this, he will be charged with one of the crimes.
Di Li raised his head and looked at the army who was standing in front of the sand table and raising his own questions, and still asked in a hoarse voice that was not in a hurry or slow: "Then will the main battlefield you said really be the main battlefield?"
The Hickland army had a strict hierarchy of subordinates, and it was absolutely impossible for subordinates to obey their superiors even if they were only half a rank behind, and it was absolutely impossible to discuss military action as Endomingo and Kokomo did. Seeing that his commander had the intention of discussing, the staff officer breathed a sigh of relief and was puzzled at the same time: "Of course, the main battlefield is a full-scale attack on the fortress here, and our main force is carrying out a general attack here......
"This is true in terms of the number of troops participating in the war, but this is only at the level of local wars. Diri picked up the flag representing the Luan United of the Emerald Wind Army from the sand table and placed it on the border of the sand table: "What if you jump out of this war? As long as Ndomingo is here, the Emerald Wind Army is there, and there is no point in winning a victory and capturing a city......
"However, our army has received an order to pacify the city of Valli, and now as long as we conquer this fortress in front of us, our mission will be successfully accomplished. The other joined the army and said boldly.
"Non-commissioned officers!" said Dilri loudly to all the soldiers who were watching here, although the highest rank among them was only the deputy non-commissioned officer, "Ndomingo used 150 teleportation scrolls, does Valli City have so much money, and even if they have so much money, where did they get so many resources to make it?, or have they been hoarding this strategic material for many years, and we don't know anything, and the garrison base next to it is a decoration on the sand table?" Therefore, whether it is to buy directly or do it yourself, there will be a source, and the opposite side of the Moli River is too far away and it is impossible to take such a big risk...... Only the possibility of assistance from other Wagunagu colonial cities on this side of the ancient continent of Kangwanagu ......"
There was no need to explain any more at this point, and one of the soldiers frowned and said, "What do you mean by ...... sir?"
Diri put the Luan United flag back in its original position on the sand table, and the wolf's sense of smell told him who the real prey was: "If you don't catch Ndomingo, the war won't end, and where this flag is, it's the main battlefield!"
