The twenty-first deduction battle ended quickly, and the fat man didn't even hold out until the battle entered the middle of the battle, which was worse than the previous times. This worries Magritte even more. However, this time the fat man and Hastings were a little unusually quiet, and after the battle was over, the two of them directly established a new deduction battle without even saying a word, and began the twenty-second confrontation, and the twenty-second confrontation was still over quickly.

Under Margaret's restless gaze, the fat man did not rush to start a new game, but lit a cigarette and pondered for a long time before he began to create the twenty-third round. From beginning to end, his face was simple. Like a stubborn stone. There is no tendency to suddenly open up and realize the mystery.

As he pondered, Hastings said nothing, just waited quietly.

The twenty-third deduction begins.

Margaret, who was disturbed by the abnormal behavior of the two people, stood behind the fat man. The same deduction game, from the first confrontation to the view. The terrain, time, forces of both sides, equipment and the advantages and disadvantages of the electronic suppression and Skynet systems at all stages, she can almost memorize them.

Margaret knew that for the fat man, this game was difficult. Even after more than 20 years of Hastings' words and deeds, she is not completely sure of winning if she plays in person. The only advantage she has over the fat man is the command skills she has learned over the years and the way to solve this kind of battle.

Without sacrifice, there can be no victory.

And it's not just soldiers' lives that can be sacrificed.

At least, in this deduction game, Margaret knew that there were many things that could be sacrificed, such as the city defended by the defenders.

The Blues under the command of Hastings, whose goal is to completely capture the city.

Compared to the fat man, this strategic task for the Blues is more difficult. With the strength of two divisions, it is difficult to break through the defenses of four divisions and completely occupy the city. Moreover, as the leader of teaching and deduction, even if Hastings knew that the Red Army's casualty rate was limited to 10 percent, he would not use God's view of knowing the opponent's bottom line to target this weakness of the Red Army. He just followed the deduction procedure to make tactical arrangements with the goal of capturing the city.

In this way, the Red Army had a chance.

The Red Army, which has almost all the strategic points in its hands, has a solid defensive line, and has a complete intelligence and command system, can expand the entire battle situation as long as it takes the initiative to retreat by taking advantage of space and time.

If we only fight the positions on the outskirts of the city, the casualty rate of 10 percent will not be enough. Only by abandoning some of the garrisoned cities, lengthening the battle line of the Blue Army, or drawing the Blue Army into the depth of defense, can the superiority of the Red Army's strength be realized, and only then can there be enough space and time to encircle and divide the Blue Army.

Exchanging the casualty rate for the garrison was the only thing Margaret could think of at the moment.

No battle is isolated, and the same is true of this deduction situation. Outside of the offensive and defensive sides, there is a bigger battle situation. All conditions for victory or defeat must be based on the strategic needs of the big war.

The casualty rate of the Red Army was harsh though. The conditions for victory are not the complete annihilation of the Blues. The Blues' onslaught, regardless of casualties, was only within one stage. As long as the Red Army can annihilate 60% of the Blue Army's strength, the system will automatically determine the Blue Army as negative.

If they can delay the Blues' offensive for more than ten days and raise their casualty rate to 40 percent. The Blues will also be judged to be defeated, and the tactic of using a part of the city as a battlefield will be more brutal in the view, and will bring huge civilian casualties to the garrison city, however, for a good commander. It's not a difficult choice. Know that 'in war, the army is everything.'" If you lose because of some unnecessary indecision, then the final pain you need to endure is not the loss of a city, but a planet, or even a garden.

As soon as she saw the new round of deduction that the two had started, Margaret couldn't help but sigh.

The fat man doesn't seem to have any intention of abandoning the city at all. His battle line is still on the outer line of defense of the city, and he still does not give up an inch of land. The only difference is that instead of letting go of the passage, he took the initiative to attack and moved the entire theater of operations in the direction of the Blues.

On the screen, the Red Army split into hundreds and thousands of units of different sizes, fighting between trenches, woods, agricultural areas, hills and mountain rivers on the outskirts of cities. Under the command of the fat man, these troops were like a large mass of silk threads stirred together, covering each other and cooperating with each other. Frequent active attacks on the Blues.

Taking the initiative is also a way to win.

However, in Margaret's view, this is almost asking for self-inflicted suffering. You must know that the person who commanded the blue army on the other side was none other than his grandfather, a generation of military god Hastings.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, Hastings has become a talisman.

This symbol is not so much the pinnacle of military prowess as it is a symbol of the victor of the First World War thirty years ago.

And then the winners, that was thirty years ago. They respected Hastings, studied his tactics, regarded his words as the golden rule, and worshipped him. But how many of them can really understand this god of war?!

The only one who really knew Hastings was Margaret, who followed him and received his words and deeds for twenty years. Even though she was called a rare military genius, Margaret never thought of surpassing her grandfather. The more she learned from him, the longer she watched, the more Margaret watched her grandfather's unfathomable Blues' two armoured divisions at Hastings' attack.

Two armored divisions formed two attack arrows all the way west. Highway's bridges, commanding heights, the towns, the blue army advanced in an orderly manner. At what time and where to take, the distance of each unit, logistical support, air support during the attack, fire preparation, tactical execution, and so on, each of these items are like the cogs of precision instruments, and they all bite seamlessly.

When the military order was translated into the military intention achieved, the entire deduction screen, the Blues' offensive was like an overwhelming tsunami.

This is the simplest command technique, and it is also the most direct way to attack. There are no unpredictable tactics, no surprising strategies, just textbook advances, attacks. But these, when used in Hastings, can produce an irresistible effect like the Yangtze River.

Returning to the basics, this is the supreme realm of military command in the Guandai.

Seeing the Blues' offensive, Margaret's heart sank. She even kindly blamed Hastings for being too anxious, 'You shouldn't put so much pressure on the fat man.' He is the god of war, and the fat man is nothing more than a mechanic who has not received regular military training. Don't talk about fat people. Even if it's a famous general like Li Fo crying. How many can score under the command of the god of war himself?!

Margaret's eyes searched back and forth across the map, trying to find the Blues' weak spots. But. No matter how she thinks about it, there is no way to break the game. The Blues made no mistakes, and in fact, Margaret did not think Hastings would make any mistakes in combat other than the small number of troops themselves.

Even if you make a mistake, it's a system-prescribed error. Because in this war, the intelligence of the two sides is not equal. From Hastings' point of view, he did not know that the Red Army had four divisions. Therefore, he must command according to the intelligence of the system. And this mistake, which led to the continuous intensification of the offensive of the Blue Army, was precisely the most headache for the Red Army.

In the face of such a blue army, it is almost impossible for the Red Army to win with a casualty rate of 10 percent.

The fat man moves faster. One directive at a time. Almost without thinking. The overwhelming Red Army blocked the advance of the Blue Army from all directions. If it was a real war, there was absolutely no possibility for the Blues to continue to advance, but in such a game, the casualty rate was 10 percent. But the situation of the two sides was reversed.

The Blues attacked without hesitation, while the Reds, with their superior forces, had to constantly avoid battles that could result in heavy casualties.

The fat man was clearly angry. His red-eyed fingers tapped wildly on the keyboard. Commands leap onto the screen like a fly. Under these dozens of orders per minute, the Red Army units were operating at full speed and frantically, and attacks against the Blues were endless. The fat man seems to be trying to use this one-touch way to gnaw away at the Blues little by little.

Margaret shook her head. The fat man is too stubborn. This style of play, if it is used when he lets go of the front, widens the distance between the blue troops, and disperses his forces, has a good chance of winning. But the contemplation is in... Margaret's eyes fell on the lines of the Red Army.

To the east of the city, the Red Army's defensive line was built along a river and a small hilly area.

Several highland strongholds. Condescendingly to contain the Blues' offensive line.

In the previous deduction confrontation, the fat man attacked and defended back and forth with the Blues on this battlefield. After a few hard encounters, there was no way to win with a 10 percent casualty rate. This time, he simply left only one regiment to hold here, and the other troops were pushed out at the beginning of the battle.

Towns and arteries before fighting for the Blues for defensive lines.

As the battle progressed, the Blues had advanced to less than thirty kilometres from the defensive line. Further back, if the Reds could not gather heavy forces, then the Blues would break through the defensive line in one fell swoop and rush directly into the city. Judging by the strength of the rear of the Red Army, once it evolves into that situation, this situation can be declared over.

The fat man's instructions are getting faster and faster.

Seeing that the left flank of the Blues was about to break through the Red Army's encirclement and touch the last line of defense of the Red Army, Margaret suddenly watched in surprise that Hastings' advance came to a halt.

What's going on?!

Margaret turned her head to look at Hastings' computer screen, and she was surprised to see that at this moment, a piece of information from the Red Army with four armored divisions appeared in Hastings's computer system.

As a commander, Hastings could not have deliberately ignored this information. Even if he knew the conditions for victory and defeat, he had to simulate the normal reaction of a commander in a real battle.

Using one's own intelligence superiority to influence the opponent, deliberately exposing troops, and swaying the opponent's judgment is a common method in command. And the fat man, used here, was not unexpectedly Hastings, and he was a little surprised that the fat man seized this opportunity too accurately.

Just when the troops on the left and right flanks of the Blue Army were about to complete the merger, this sudden revelation of information would inevitably affect the judgment of the commander who commanded the two attack arrows respectively.

This judgment is not something you can control. The system will automatically let the commander of one of the roads make judgments according to the actual information.

The two armies are forty kilometers apart. At the same time stopped.

Because they don't know what the situation is with their allies on the other side.

They must have enough information before they can move on to the next step. Even if Hastings forcibly ordered it until the information was obtained, the system would not buy it.

The electronic suppression of the Red Army, by this time, had been launched in full force. Not to mention that at the beginning of the war, the blue side was in a weak position in terms of information. Even if it is intact in the sub-battle, by this time, it has lost its intelligence and communication capabilities.

In this dark zone of information, forty kilometers is a distance like a moat!

Forty kilometers of hilly and mountainous terrain, for armored forces, it is no more than an hour to travel at full speed.

Even in the midst of a war, it only takes a few hours to exchange information.

But Hastings, however, had no way to let the troops on the left and right flanks understand each other's situation. Countless Red Army squads completely obscured the battlefield. They attack and kill any Blue Army unit that tries to explore the other side. and intensified the siege of the Blue Army units.

As the clock ticked by, Hastings and Margaret were stunned when the Blues were defeated by the system with 75 per cent of their strength remaining and four full days left in the attacking window.

Apparently having entered the situation, the red-eyed fat man, the crazy laughter, resounded in the room.

"Bastard, come on, come again!"

Disgusting!

While kicking the fat man over, Margaret had to admit that the fat man was in this room and completed a miraculous battle.

That's a complex computational process.

The fat man did it in a near-impossible situation. A series of actions of the Red Army were aimed at this last intention.

Although the loss of the Blue Army was far from touching the bottom line of judging the failure of the deduction, however, because the troops on both wings were isolated for a long time and surrounded for a long time, the fat man used the 10% casualty rate indicator to this last moment. In the face of the powerful attack of the Red Army, in the face of the situation in which the liaison troops sent disappeared without a trace, the system could only make the judgment that the troops on the other side had suffered casualties, which was so contradictory, so incredible, but really unquestionable.

The fat man wins!

Hastings took a sip of the tea that had been cooled, smiled and nodded.

With the fat man's maddening small-scale troop command skills, and his nature of beating stuffy sticks, in the case of suppressing and blocking the opponent's information, or the Skynet system and the opponent are wiped out, this guy is almost invincible!
