Chapter 137: Pre-War Preparations
Wolf Ed was placed under house arrest.
Vega thus took command of the remaining 800 troops.
The process of gaining command does not need to be detailed, but it must have been accompanied by violence and intimidation.
The few people who took the lead in questioning have been locked in the room with Wolf, and now no one in the entire army questions Vega for the time being, and Vega can also develop his own tactical concept.
Guerrilla tactics.
This is a battle plan that Vega decided to use after thinking about it.
Supplemented by the high mobility of the professional brigade, it mainly carries out the work of harassing and attracting the attention of the enemy, and if the enemy counterattacks, it will immediately retreat, after all, the professional army wants to leave, and there is generally no one to stay.
With ordinary troops as the main force.
Combined with the combat concept of street warfare in the previous life, occupy the nearby commanding heights and some large buildings that are strong and not afraid of long-distance fire support, and use crossbow arrows and throwing weapons as a means of attack, so as to achieve the purpose of slowly depleting the pursuing troops.
Once there are too many pursuing troops.
Taking advantage of the familiar terrain and the advantage of fighting at home, your troops can retreat in time, and if the enemy pursues them relentlessly, they can naturally smoothly introduce the next encirclement, and if the enemy troops dare not pursue because of heavy losses, they even want to withdraw.
At this time, it is natural to implement the strategy of 'the enemy retreats and I chase'.
The most important thing is that the royal army does not seem to understand the combat concept of street fighting, and they did not seize the nearby commanding heights and large buildings that are easy to defend and difficult to attack in the first place while establishing a blockade line.
This is a boon for Vega.
Otherwise, it will take a lot of time and troops to seize advantageous buildings and commanding heights.
In the afternoon of the same day.
After all the soldiers had rested, Vega found the temporary officers of all levels of the unit and began to elaborate the battle plan.
Vega's instilion of squad-based, lightweight, flexible, and mobile combat concepts into all temporary officers was of course opposed by all officers, who considered the 10-man approach to combat a joke at all.
Bang!
A hot-tempered officer slapped the table and said: "What can a small army of 10 people do? Once surrounded by the enemy, it can hardly last even a minute, the Empire's fighting style has always been based on frontal confrontation, this combat concept is unacceptable to me, I will not joke with my own life and the lives of my subordinates." ”
The officer's remarks were supported by the majority of the population.
However, a few minutes later, Vega used his command to forcibly remove the officer from his temporary position, and no one dared to object, and everyone chose to follow Vega's orders.
"Good!"
After talking about the battle concept, Vega looked at the officers and said: "Now I need you to make all the preparations before tonight according to the plan, and the reconnaissance department, please plan the ambush position and retreat route, which needs to be implemented by you to each squad." ”
Vega looked at the head of the logistics department, "Whether you make or steal, I need you to ensure that each soldier has ten arrows on his crossbow by tonight, and set up weapons and supply points in some hidden locations. ”
Vega finally looked at the war department: "That's right, you are the protagonists of tonight. I need you to cover the professional brigade and block and attack, and even annihilate the enemy's pursuing forces in a joint squad operation. The main focus of the battle was crossbow arrows and throwing weapons, and the short-range encounters were avoided as much as possible, and the location was changed immediately after each attack to give full play to the mobility of the troops. ”
"Yes!" the crowd should have stood up.
Vega nodded with satisfaction, and then said loudly: "Everyone, please keep in mind the sixteen-character mantra of 'the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase', and victory will definitely belong to us!"
"For victory!"
In this almost roaring voice, this came from the earth, and the battle plan was officially launched by combining the two operational concepts of 'guerrilla warfare and street warfare', and the implementation of the battle plan was carried out at night.
It's late afternoon.
Vega looked at the red sunset, it was an unexpectedly good weather today.
He stood on a high place, looking down on the desolate city of Kareni, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
War is really coming.
And he didn't seem to hate the smell of gunpowder in the air.
Looking at the enemy's blockade line, Vega even had a crazy idea that if he was given enough troops and supplies, he could even use the combat concept of his previous life to completely bury the airborne troops of the Kingdom Army in Kareni City.
If he can win this war, he will surely shake the empire.
The father of guerrilla warfare and street fighting?
A super commander who wins more with less?
Kareni and the savior of the Northern Front?
Either way, it's enough to make Vega the real ruler.
As for where does this confidence come from?
Vega has fully discovered that the United Kingdom rises in a way that is very similar to Germany on Earth, and even the way it became famous in World War I was the blitzkrieg that could even capture a country in a matter of hours.
And what is the weakness of Blitzkrieg?
That's right, what Blitzkrieg fears most is being dragged into the mud of street fighting by enemy troops.
Once drawn into the street fighting, the friendly air support force will be completely useless, because you can't guarantee that the friendly troops will not be accidentally injured in the magic bombardment, and if the airborne troops occupy the city alone, the long supply lines and unfamiliar terrain are enough to make them miserable, and even lose the initiative in the war.
Most importantly.
Vega discovered that the United Kingdom's blitzkrieg was only beginning to take shape.
The Royal Army took it for granted that the end of the magic bombardment meant the occupation of the city, and even the airborne troops sent down were eager to occupy the bomb shelters and establish a blockade to ensure the occupation of resources, rather than seizing the commanding heights and important buildings at the first time to lay the advantage of street fighting.
Even so, the Imperial Army did not even have the idea of resisting.
It seems that the Imperial Army also takes it for granted that the failure of the Crystal Hub, the end of the magic bombardment, and the arrival of the Airborne Forces mean that the city of Kareni has been occupied by the United Kingdom.
Therefore.
Vega has reason to believe.
As long as he can assemble a standard brigade-level unit, he is sure that he will completely cripple the airborne troops of the Kingdom Army through street fighting and guerrilla tactics within half a month.
sighed.
The idea is beautiful, the reality is cruel.
With his current situation, where can he find a brigade-level unit?
Unless......
"Captain, it's almost time. ”
The adjutant interrupted Vega's thoughts: "The preparations have been completed, all the squads have entered the ambush site, and the battle can start at any time, please ask the captain for instructions." ”
Vega stood on the high ground.
As the afterglow of the setting sun disappeared into the sky, Vega smiled at Captain Wolf, who had been "invited" to come beside him.
Then in the presence of Captain Wolf, Vega gave an order to the adjutant: "Inform the troops, the battle plan has begun, if it is a miracle to win more with less, then come and create a miracle." ”
