The plan was revised overnight.

The logistics units of the entire 5 battalion even worked overtime until the early hours of the morning.

When the sun rose the next day, the preparations for the mission were finally completed.

Although the plan was revised a little, the departure time was not modified.

9:15 a.m.

Two companies of the 5th Battalion, together with the 232nd Company of Vega, a total of 560 soldiers and 3 professionals, officially started a 10-day guerrilla mission, and after revising the plan, the goal of this mission was to destroy K97 and G42...... of 5 focal points.

The Imperial Frontier is far from the Kingdom Border, separated by a mountain range.

Since it is necessary to carry out guerrilla missions, it is natural to select some outposts that are relatively remote and cannot quickly obtain reinforcements and destroy or wipe them out.

There are two reasons for this.

The first is that the mountains are covered by heavy snow, and it is not convenient to use horses, and the second is that remote guard towers are mostly built between dangerous passes, and in the case that the enemy army cannot get reinforcements quickly, it is enough to rely on only two legs to retreat.

At the pace of walking, it takes a day to reach the first destination.

The march of the entire 5th Battalion was not fast, because most of them were not systematically trained, and the weather today was too bad, which was indeed a challenge for the people of these cannon fodder regiments.

At this time, the difference between the backbone and the cannon fodder unit comes out.

At noon, when the pot was cooking, the soldiers of the 5th Battalion were already looking half-dead, and they began to complain quietly during the rest time, and their dissatisfaction was overflowing.

"It's damn weather, why are the chiefs picking this kind of day. ”

"Who said no, one of the members of the team next door broke his leg in the morning. ”

"Damn! I hate cold, hard marching rations. ”

"I don't think it's a mission, whether you can get to the border of the kingdom or not. ”

"Look, why aren't the stalwarts of the stalwart unwell?"

"I think it's probably pretending, or it won't be long before it's revealed. ”

“......”

Unlike the cannon fodder troops, the soldiers of the 232nd Company all looked as usual, without the slightest abnormality, and they adhered to the dogma of eating and not sleeping, and seriously enjoyed the lunch that was not delicious, but full.

Discipline, Habits, Morale, Strength......

Anyone who compares these two units will find that they are two completely different units in spirit, spirit, and spirit.

And rightfully so.

Although some of the backbone units have not really participated in small and medium-sized campaigns or experienced border conflicts, this level of marching is really nothing compared to the training in peacetime for the backbone troops.

Don't say anything else.

In this kind of weather, as long as the supplies are sufficient, let alone a 10-day mission, even a month or two is not a problem.

Thereupon.

Under the envious gaze of the officers of the 5th Battalion and the incredulous gaze of the soldiers, Vega's troops always maintained an orderly unit with iron discipline, marching at a uniform pace, and when approaching the border line of the kingdom, they did not make superfluous sounds or make superfluous movements.

Because in the backbone of the troops.

During the marching mission, in order to ensure that orders can be conveyed as soon as possible, only the officers of each department have the authority to speak, and without the approval of the officer, they are not allowed to speak half a word or do half a superfluous action during non-rest time.

"It's a stalwarts unit. ”

The commander of the 5th battalion glanced at his own troops, and then at Vega's troops, shook his head helplessly and laughed at himself: "If my troops can be as forbidden as the backbone troops, where do you need to make so many superfluous preparations for this kind of task." ”

"Battalion commander, you don't have to be presumptuous. ”

The adjutant of the 5th battalion flattered: "Although I haven't been able to catch up with this quota, but if you stay up for another year and a half, I believe you will definitely be able to take the troops back to Kareni to receive systematic military training and become a real backbone officer." ”

"I hope so. ”

The battalion commander Ron was not hopeful, he took out the map and looked at it and said: "The order goes down, rest in place for 30 minutes, and in half an hour we will march quickly to attack K97 and catch them by surprise." ”

"Yes. ”

The adjutant conveyed the order to the entire battalion.

Vega frowned when he received the order, and he walked in the direction of the battalion commander, promising that Larba and the others had already stepped in front of the battalion commander, as if discussing the matter of the attack later.

When the battalion commander Ron saw Vega.

He smiled at Vega, as if he had forgotten yesterday's unpleasantness: "Ensign Vega, you are here at the right time, we are discussing here, and we will let Ensign Vega's backbone force be the vanguard force later, and make a good start." ”

There was a pause.

Ron suddenly realized that Vega's voice here was even higher than him: "Of course, if Ensign Vega thinks it's not suitable, he can also be used as a flank and be responsible for simple defense work, but I'm afraid that his military merits will be relatively reduced." ”

Vega didn't answer directly, but asked suspiciously: "It's already 16 o'clock, and the soldiers of the 5th Battalion are already tired and out of breath, is it really appropriate to attack rashly now?"

"Of course there is no problem. ”

Ralpa smiled awkwardly at Vega: "We have participated in this kind of mission several times, and the group of miscellaneous people in the Kingdom Army will naturally be defeated and flee directly when they see the large number of people. ”

"The alert level of the Kingdom Army is different from what it used to be. Vega reminded.

Qi Green said confidently: "The country is easy to change, the nature is difficult to change, although your army is the backbone of the force, whether it is execution or combat ability is above us, but in terms of the degree of understanding of the kingdom army, our 4th regiment is still quite confident." ”

At this point, Vega said no more.

He thought about it for a while, and finally said: "My subordinates are not very suitable for night missions, so it is better to choose the flank defense work, and it is more appropriate to hand over the task of the vanguard to the experienced noble army." ”

Zigrin and Larba's eyes beamed with joy.

Of course, the military merits of the vanguard troops are not comparable to those of the flank defense, and they hurriedly laughed: "Thank you Second Lieutenant Vega for knowing the righteousness, then we will hurry up and march and strive to destroy the first mission objective before dark." ”

Vega nodded and left.

He didn't fight for any vanguard troops, because he never believed that the martial law Kingdom Army would abandon the building and flee directly when they saw that their numbers were not proportional, and the Kingdom Army was still waiting for work, and the 5th Battalion was already at the end of the crossbow after a day's rapid march.

As long as the commander of the Royal Army has a little eyesight.

Even if you really can't beat it, you can pit the 5th Battalion and then retreat, and the tired 5th Battalion has no basic ability to pursue at all.

However, the people of the 5th battalion were so confident that Vega still planned to let them explore the way first.
