Chapter 160: Decentralization
Dark, damp bomb shelters.
Even though Vega had gone down to prepare the tactical report, Foster was still sitting in his office, looking at the images in the video crystal over and over again.
This image shows the whole process of Viga commanding the guerrilla warfare in the city.
As a good commander, he is not one of those middle-level officers who only knows how to stick to the rules and only know how to use tactics, so his eyesight is naturally not comparable to that of Wolf and his ilk.
Just hearing the 16-word theory already made him aware of the horror of this tactic.
But when he really saw the actual combat video, he realized that theory was only the tip of the iceberg, and it turned out that there were so many ways to operate in practice, such as occupying the commanding heights, such as using long-range weapons, and then for example, the usefulness of professional brigades.
Lure the enemy deep and split and attack.
Foster saw the essence of Vega's battle in the video, so he put himself in the camp of the kingdom army, trying to find a loophole in this tactic, because war is not only about knowing the other but also about the enemy, so that the contingency plan can be formulated according to the possible situation.
But the outcome was beyond Foster's expectations.
For he sadly found that even if he were to command the kingdom's army, the final result would still be to abandon the blockade and join forces to prevent the enemy from constantly harassing and attacking.
Isn't that what happened, and isn't it worth all the fuss?
Of course it's worth it!
As a good commander, what he can do should be to defeat the strong with the weak, and the more with less, but in the face of Vega's tactics, Foster found that although he had the advantage, he still could not escape defeat.
Doesn't that illustrate......
That 12-year-old boy who has been in the army for half his life in terms of tactical thinking and command ability has exploded?
Self-confidence collapsed at this moment.
Foster even began to wonder whether he was fit to continue commanding armies, or whether a new era had dawned and he was no longer fit for the ever-changing warfare of the modern age.
This is how the United Kingdom is lightning fighting......
The same was true of the nightmarish guerrilla warfare of Second Lieutenant Vegana......
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the cold sweat on Foster's forehead slid down, and his face became whiter and paler.
"Commander, are you alright?"
The adjutant hurriedly took out a few pills from the drawer and served them to Forster, and it took a full 5 minutes for Foster's face to regain a trace of blood, and the stimulation just now almost made him breathe.
And rightfully so.
Not a professional, not a magician, just an ordinary person, Foster's only pride in his heart is his command ability, if even the command talent is not comparable to others, it is enough to make his faith collapse in an instant.
Take a deep breath.
Foster took out a letter from the drawer, and then said to the adjutant: "Harman, give this letter to Second Lieutenant Vega, and tell him that the rest of the battle will be under his personal command, and the whole army will cooperate with his battle plan, but I have only one request, I need to take back control of all the bomb shelters in the shortest possible time." ”
"Commander-in-Chief, you're not kidding......
Adjutant Harman looked at Forster with wide eyes, the remaining more than 3,000 lives of the Third Army, including his own and the lives of the commander-in-chief, were all entrusted to a minor child!
It's child's play, isn't it?
Who would want to give their lives to a child who has mixed up some military exploits by luck.
Although he was shocked in his heart, it was a pity that the commander-in-chief's order could not be disobeyed, and Harman saw that the commander-in-chief Foster did not answer, so he could only obediently follow the instructions.
————
Knock knock.
After a knock on the door, Vega received a letter from the gloomy adjutant Harman, and at the same time received orders from the commander-in-chief.
The command is simple.
The command of the entire army was transferred to him, and from today onwards, even the generals of the General Staff could only cooperate with him, but they demanded that he must use these less than 3,000 troops to take control of all the bomb shelters.
You know, there are 100 bomb shelters in the city.
There are more than 5 million civilians in the city in the bomb shelter, but a small number of royal troops are responsible for guarding and providing food, it is easy to kill less than 100 ordinary soldiers of the royal army, and it is easy to regain control of a single bomb shelter, but there are not enough manpower to garrison the bomb shelter, this order is simply difficult for a strong man, right?
Wait a minute!
A flash of light flashed through his mind, and Vega seemed to understand Foster's intentions.
He smiled at Harman and said, "Your Excellency Major, please tell the commander-in-chief on my behalf, the subordinate will definitely live up to his mission, promise to take back control of the bomb shelter, and teach the royal army a profound lesson." ”
"Your lord is good at doing it for himself. ”
Harman didn't believe Vega's words at all, and he snorted and left.
Vega didn't care, he closed the door, and then opened the letter that Foster had given him.
"It's ......"
Vega's eyes widened, and he found that this letter was not strictly addressed to him, but a letter of recommendation from the Imperial Central Military Academy, as long as he had this letter, Vega could go to the Central Military Academy for further study at any time.
For a moment, Vega understood Foster's intentions.
This is Foster's act to show him sincerity, as long as he has this letter of recommendation, even if this war is lost, or even Foster dies in the middle of the battle, as long as he can escape and ascend to heaven, he can still enter the Central Military Academy with this letter of recommendation.
This letter of recommendation is tantamount to fulfilling the promise.
Vega put away the letter of recommendation with satisfaction, now it seems that he has been upgraded to an important pawn that cannot be discarded at will in Foster's eyes, and then it is up to him to command the troops well and mix up a little more seniority.
For the first time, a smooth sailing life was so close to him.
So that night, the excited Vega spent the night devouting tactics and preparing to use guerrilla tactics to recover more than 100 bomb shelters in Kareni, although this mission goal seems to be fantastical, but it is not something that cannot be done by manpower.
When dawn comes.
Vega put on his military uniform and wore the epaulettes of the rank of captain and opened the door.
The blazing torches illuminated the underground bomb shelter, and Vega stood on a high platform in the center, looking down on the remaining 3,000 soldiers of the Third Army, a brigade of more than 100 professionals, and the last squadron of mages, and began the pre-war mobilization meeting.
In addition to the 3,000 soldiers, there were also several generals of the General Staff and middle- and upper-level officers whose positions and ranks were above him.
But Vega had no fear or nervousness.
He stood on the high platform with confidence, ignoring the sword-like gaze below, because guerrilla tactics were where his confidence lies.
