Chapter 162: The Battle Begins

After a day of preparation.

Both the relocation of the new hideout of the Imperial Army and the preparations for the seizure of control have been completed.

Now the new hideout of the Imperial army is the military bomb shelter No. 2.

The entrance to this bomb shelter is at the Inquisition Building, and if it were Bruno himself, of course, he could easily find this place, but in the case that Bruno was dead, it was difficult for the Kingdom troops to find this hidden location without knowing the place.

So the next night, the experimental operation to seize the bomb shelter began,

This time, Vega did not take the lead, but sat in the temporary combat command and was responsible for the supreme command of the mission.

Since this was only an experimental operation and did not start a full-line operation, 1,500 troops were dispatched, and the mission goal was to seize 20 bomb shelters in the northern sector.

Each of these 20 bomb shelters was garrisoned by a company of the Royal Army.

In other words, Vega had to use less than half of the enemy's strength to force the Kingdom Army to abandon the bomb shelter garrison.

If you just defeat the enemy, of course, it is simple.

After all, the strength of a company is not too strong, and the real problem is that the enemy has a large number of support troops that can be put into battle at any time, and once surrounded, or caught up by magicians, it is difficult to escape destruction.

But Vega was confident in it.

There is nothing wrong with the Kingdom Army having support troops, but the problem is that Vega wants to carry out a guerrilla-type harassment war, and he does not think about killing all the Kingdom soldiers in the bomb shelter in a short time, he wants to see how long the Kingdom Army can hold out.

In a nutshell.

He instilled in his soldiers the idea that if they had fought well, they would fight, and if they could not fight, they would run, and that the fatigue of the enemy would be the main thing, and the annihilation of the enemy would be secondary.

"Report to the sir, the squads are in place. ”

The herald enters the Provisional Operational Command and reports to Vega.

Vega said to the three generals and two brigade commanders sitting on either side of the round table: "If you think there is no problem, then let's start fighting." ”

"We're just here to learn from this operation, and it's all about Captain Vega. "One of the generals of the General Staff made a statement, clearly shirking responsibility, and they still do not believe in Vega's tactics.

Vega didn't care either, he ordered: "Tell down, the battle begins." ”

When the herald received the order to walk out the door, Vega also stood up and walked towards the second floor of the temporary combat headquarters building.

Seeing Vega's movements, a trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of everyone in the command: "Captain Vega, this operation is not over yet, where are you going? As an operational commander, I'm afraid it's not good to leave your post without permission." ”

"Clams?"

Vega looked at the people with idiotic eyes: "Generals, have you really seriously studied my tactical theory?"

"It's different from the usual way of fighting. ”

Vega said as he walked: "This guerrilla war, each guerrilla squad has the right to act independently, the specific operation still depends on themselves, we just need to do a good job in the supply of resources for the supply point, and the guerrilla war takes a long time, this battle will not be fought in 3 days, I advise you to hurry up and wash and sleep." ”

Looking at Vega, who disappeared at the end of the stairs, everyone was silent.

The brigadier general glanced at everyone and said, "Colleagues, what do you think of Captain Vega's combat methods. ”

"The squad fights autonomously, purely self-defeating. ”

"Guerrilla tactics are pure nonsense, and I think we're still here waiting for news. ”

"That's right, I also think that this battle will be lost, and you need to make amends. ”

"Then the generals wait slowly. ”

Ganser yawned and said, "I don't have any troops in my hands anyway, and I absolutely believe in Captain Vega's battle plan, so please allow me to go and rest first, good night, everyone." ”

Da Da Da –

Ganseer also disappeared from the temporary headquarters, leaving only four officers who were convinced that the battle would be lost.

Thorn -

A cold wind blew into the command room through the leaky window, and the winter night was especially cold for Kareni, and they couldn't help but shiver.

————

"Captain, the order has come down, and the battle has begun. ”

A soldier in his 20s came to the captain's side and reported, staring at the bomb shelter in the distance: "Captain, are we really going to poke that hornet's nest? There are only 10 of us." ”

"Are you scared?"

The squad leader fiddled with his crossbow and glanced at the team with disdain.

The people who could serve as captains this time were all from Wolf's subordinates, that is, soldiers who had participated in the last guerrilla mission. And this squad leader is none other than the soldier who has changed from cowardly and timid to a soldier who is eager for war and thinks he is cannon fodder.

He was very grateful to Vega for surviving the last battle.

To be able to trample the elite troops of the kingdom under his feet as a loser, he sincerely thanked Vega.

To be able to let him experience the taste of victory as cannon fodder, he is especially grateful to Vega.

In order to thank Vega, in order to participate in the war commanded by Vega again, this time he was the first to take the initiative to apply for war under the surprised eyes of the soldiers of other troops, or in the eyes of the people of other troops, he was simply crazy, why did he rush to die.

But is it really sent to death?

Only those who have never experienced guerrilla warfare will feel that this battle is to be sent to death.

None of the soldiers who followed Vega out of the center felt that they were going to die, and in their opinion, as long as Vega commanded the battle, even if the enemy was ten times their number, they would think that the battle would be won.

Where does the confidence come from?

Those who ask this kind of question will not understand that the word "Vega" is synonymous with miracles.

As cannon fodder B, he has been lost for too long.

Now it's time to experience victory again as cannon fodder B, he wants to trample the self-proclaimed strong kingdom army on the soles of his feet again, and he also wants to proudly tell his family after the empire recaptures Kareni, he has defeated the kingdom army several times his own under the leadership of that little ghost officer, and saved the entire city of Kareni!

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you crave war?"

Licking his scarlet lips, the squad leader said in a voice full of hunger, "You may think I'm crazy, but I've been longing for this battle for so long, even in my dreams, that the captain has led me to victory again. ”

"Today, I finally got my wish. ”

He inserted a crossbow arrow into the crossbow and aimed it at the Kingdom soldiers who were on night duty at the entrance of the cave: "Although he seems to be just a little ghost, please believe our Captain, this battle will not be lost, we will fight for victory!"

As the words fell, the squad leader stood up from his hiding place, and a crossbow arrow had been shot from the crossbow in his hand.

Phew-

The air-piercing crossbow bolt pierced the enemy's neck, and another Kingdom soldier sounded the alarm as soon as possible.

This piercing siren officially announced that the prelude to the Empire's counterattack had begun.
