No matter how good the strategy is.

Ideas are ahead of their time.

If you can't find the right person to do it, then everything is just on paper.

Some incompetent people can even be self-defeating, and beat a group of kings and four and two into three and two with a king, and lose the top of the rebel army under the control of Coverdale, which is obviously such an existence.

Although Vega and Coverdale had copied the rear of the Imperial Army.

However, in the city of war, the Imperial army led by Forster launched an operation, preparing to attack the rebels who did not listen to Haussmann's orders and did not know how to adapt.

Foster himself came to the other side of the Tank River.

He stood on a high place and looked ahead: "Hausman, after many years, you and I have finally become opponents again, this time I will let you see my progress over the years, I hope you don't let me down." ”

"Command!"

"The battle begins. ”

When Foster's order was given, the Imperial Army began to move.

The basic principles of urban warfare have long been thoroughly understood by Forster, who understands that in order to take the initiative in urban warfare, it is necessary to control the three most important points -

Commanding heights, large buildings, traffic arteries.

As long as these three points are firmly in hand, the enemy is equivalent to being blindfolded, and they will occupy the perspective of God.

Need to know.

The Empire's army exceeded 500,000, and all of them were high-quality soldiers with high execution ability.

Under this premise, if the struggle for the commanding heights, large buildings, and transportation arteries were to be launched, the rebels would not be an opponent at all. The reason why the Imperial army was defeated last time was only because the front-line commanders did not understand these key points and were taken by surprise, and now that Foster is in charge of the operation himself, the situation will be reversed.

This is also the reason why Haussmann is ready to abandon the first plan.

It's a pity that the top brass of the rebel army insisted on going their own way after tasting the sweetness, so there was such a scene in the temporary command of the front line -

"What? The commanding heights of Area A have all been lost?"

"Not only the traffic arteries of Area A, but also Area B were occupied, the soldiers could not retreat according to the original route, and the 3rd Division had been completely annihilated. ”

"What's the urgent news coming from Area C too?!"

"Now all the large buildings and bomb shelters in Area C are occupied, the Imperial Air Force is about to enter the field, and our troops cannot find a bunker. ”

“......”

News spread like snowflakes to the temporary headquarters.

They found that the combat method that had been effective before had come to a 180-degree reversal today.

The Imperial Army no longer ignored the seduction of small troops, and went directly to the commanding heights, large buildings, and transportation arteries.

The rebels were forced to mobilize troops to repeatedly fight for commanding heights, communication arteries, and large buildings, which played into the hands of the Imperial Army, which had an absolute advantage in the excellent quality of the Imperial soldiers in the chaotic and frontal battles.

This urban battle lasted for three days and three nights.

In the end, the two sides invested countless troops in order to compete for a commanding height and large buildings.

For the Imperial Army, if they get strategic points such as large buildings, commanding heights, air-raid shelters, and communication arteries, the rebels will have nowhere to hide, and when the time comes, the main force of the rebels can be completely wiped out by letting the air force enter the field.

And for the rebels.

Air raid shelters and large buildings are life-saving places, and commanding heights and communication arteries are necessary points for counterattacks, but if they lose any point, they risk total annihilation.

But the gap in strength cannot be bridged by determination.

Early morning on the fourth day.

A light rain was falling.

Until this moment, the Imperial Army has completed the occupation of the commanding heights, large buildings, air-raid shelters, and communication arteries of the city of war, and now looking down from the commanding heights, the main force of the rebel army has been fully seen.

"Let's get the Air Force in. ”

Foster gave a cruel order.

This order was given to indicate that the Imperial Army was about to start a massacre of the rebels.

Because in the case of large buildings and bomb shelters, all these air defense facilities have been taken by the Imperial Army, as long as the carpet magic strikes are carried out on various areas, there are only two options left for the rebels, either sit back and wait to be killed, or surrender on their knees.

By this time, the officers in the underground headquarters of the rebel army were already panicking.

One by one, they prayed to Hausman: "General Hausman, think of a way, the enemy's air force is about to enter the field, and our soldiers are all exposed to the enemy's field of vision, and if we continue like this, we will be completely annihilated." ”

"Yes, is the strategy of guerrilla warfare still viable?"

A division commander said nervously: "Now forcibly occupy a few air-raid shelters and let the soldiers blend in with the civilians, so that if the imperial army does not slaughter all the civilians, they will definitely not find our soldiers." ”

"Stupid!"

A staff officer immediately retorted: "Before the plan began, we had 300,000 guerrillas who had been reduced to pieces and hid among civilians who had taken refuge in bomb shelters. If we intervene now, the Imperial Army will not only be able to easily identify the soldiers of the main army, but may even affect the guerrilla forces that have integrated into the civilian population, and who will bear the responsibility for the failure of all the plans at that time. ”

"Do you want to surrender?"

Another division commander said unwillingly: "But once they surrender, the guerrillas may think that the general trend has passed, and then choose to protect themselves and not carry out the next guerrilla warfare." ”

"Can you only watch the 300,000 main forces wait for death?"

When the officer said this, surprisingly no one refuted it.

"You contradict me!"

The officer said helplessly: "Aren't you usually very noisy? Why don't you refute me now? Please, refute me a little, let me know that there are other ways?!"

Still no one answered.

All eyes were on Haussmann.

But Hausman shook his head pretending to be sympathetic and said, "Everyone, I'm very sorry, it's not that I don't want to save these 300,000 people, but I have missed the best opportunity to save people, and when Foster personally commanded this war, the tide was already over. ”

"I regret that I shouldn't have listened to the general. ”

Everyone bowed their heads in remorse, but it was too late.

They were answered by a loud magical explosion, which rang back and forth for three days and three nights, and when the magical bombardment of the air force was over, the army's mage regiment and the main army began to enter the field.

By the evening of the fourth day.

Due to the order issued by the command to fight to the death and not to surrender, the main force of the rebel army of 300,000 was declared annihilated.

The only thing that remained in the hands of the rebels was probably this small underground bomb shelter built in secret and the Janissary Guard, which numbered less than 3,000. Except, of course, those guerrilla armies that have been broken into pieces and integrated into the civilian population.

The battle was extremely tragic.

Haussmann's laissez-faire decision cost 300,000 people in vain.

But he himself was unaware that the death of these 300,000 lives did not even make the slightest ripple in his heart.
