Chapter 284: Resistance Battle

Due to the time is quite urgent.

Therefore, without complicated discussions, it was finally finalized by Garru and the commander of the Dynasty Army, and the battle plan of Vega was carried out, and the 4th Division of the Imperial Army attacked the city of Saya at the apex of the isosceles triangle head-on.

Because there is no air force in Saya City.

With the strength of Garru's forces, plus an aviation unit, it was not difficult to capture this medium-sized city, and all the Holy Dynasty and Vega's forces needed to do was hold back reinforcements from Eddid on the left and Tully on the right.

Each of these two cities had a division of troops of the Royal Army.

The Holy Dynasty on the left said that it was not difficult for two divisions to block a division, and their aviation units were relatively retained, but the Vega side was not optimistic, because he only had the strength of a heavy brigade.

As for the aviation forces?

Although the heavy brigade is equipped with aviation units, there are only 8 carrier ships and 2 combat types, which can only reach half the number of standard divisions.

Will such a unit really be able to hold off a division?

If it is external, Vega will of course show 100% confidence, and if anyone dares to question it, he will even use his achievements in the north of the empire to shut up the other party, but if he really thinks in his heart-

It would be detrimental to the glorious image to say it, so I won't mention it here.

He is not the kind of person who is good at fighting blocking warfare, and he is still in such a place where he is not familiar with life, not to mention that the enemy, neither the number of soldiers nor the firepower of the air troops is comparable to him.

In a nutshell.

Vega believes that there is a high chance of defeat, and even if the whole army is annihilated, it will probably only last about 10 days.

Will the frontal forces be able to take Saya?

In Vega's secret speculation, it would be good if Garru could come back alive, and talk about the city of Lower Saya whether to take it or not, this kind of thing is really just Vega's fooling the two.

That's right, the plausible plan is riddled with holes.

First of all, letting the Dynasty Army block Elder City is a pit, just imagine that a group army has been beaten and only two standard divisions are left, you can imagine how powerful air support Elder City and Tali City are.

Therefore, the dynastic army will be defeated.

Next came Garru's frontal troops.

Although it seems that I have an air force and the enemy army does not, the odds of victory will be better.

But at the same time, you must see that the enemy army is holding the city, and the attacker does not have more than 3 times the strength to attack the city. Conventional siege battles are piled up with lives, and in the end, Garru's entire army is blessed.

So Vega chose the city of Tali on the right.

This is the safest city, if the brigade cannot resist the attack, it can retreat from the west as soon as possible, and the enemy needs to go east if they want to reinforce the city of Saya, and if the route is reversed, they will not choose to continue to pursue Vega.

From this, there is a good chance that he will survive.

This must lose the war Vega did not think about winning from the beginning, but thinking about how to survive the war, even if it was to return to the Seventh Army as a loser, it didn't matter, because it was better than losing your life.

Why are you so negative and pessimistic, why not give it a go?

Thinking about the benefits, if this war can be won, I am afraid that half a major general rank will not be able to escape.

Because if you want to be promoted from brigadier general to major general, you need two miracle battles or 4 classic battles, and if you can cover the retreat of our army and the troops of the Holy Dynasty, you can count as completing 1/4 of the major general progress.

But it is precisely because I know too much about the Kingdom Army.

Vega didn't even see the slightest hope of victory.

For the war of invisible hope, if it is not forced to happen, Vega will definitely not mistakenly participate in it, and if he is forced to participate, he will also think of a way to protect himself as soon as possible, so that he can get out of the way.

"This life was probably saved. ”

The next day, Vega, who was rushing to the city of Tali with his troops, muttered to himself.

He was very clear about what he was going to do next, which was to hold off as many enemy forces as he could until Garru and the Holy Dynasty forces were wiped out, so that he would have a legitimate reason to retreat.

When the time comes, the commander-in-chief will blame it.

He could have directly put the blame on Garru, after all, he had already done his part, and his teammates were really not strong, and he didn't occupy Sayashi City as originally planned, even if Garru came back alive, I am afraid he would not be able to refute it.

"Blocking tactics, retreat routes, ways to return home...... Excuses for exculpation. ”

Vega, who was riding on his horse, crossed his fingers, repeating the planning process in his mind one by one to avoid missing out, and when he counted the last preparations, he nodded with satisfaction: "The plan is perfect, and the news of the defeat of Division Commander Garru is missing." ”

Just as Vega was frantically cursing his allies, a report was heard.

"Report to the general. ”

Adjutant Ilo caught up with Vega's footsteps: "The Grand Canyon of Tully, which you planned to block, has arrived, and this is the only way for the Kingdom Army to reinforce Saya City. ”

"The whole army was ordered to stop advancing. ”

Vega looked up at the steep Grand Canyon, which was indeed the best place to stop it.

As long as a defensive line is established in the canyon, the main force can block it head-on, and at the same time two flank troops are placed on both sides of the canyon to cover, and this method of constantly shrinking the battle line will surely delay the enemy army for 10 days.

It was this canyon that I saw on the map beforehand.

Wei Cai chose to block the reinforcements of Tali City instead of running to the flat terrain of Ed City to fight a hard battle, plus his troops were originally the least, so the Holy Dynasty could not say anything.

Of course, there is one more important reason.

In this terrain, the aviation units were almost crippled, and magic from the air simply could not bombard to the bottom of the canyon.

Therefore, Vega is not ready to use war airships at all, and only let the war airships of the troops play a deterrent role to prevent the royal army from directly using airlift to reinforce Saya City, after all, these divisions are aviation divisions.

"The commanders of the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th regiments, please come forward. ”

After choosing a hidden place to be stationed, Vega took the staff headquarters, the various regiment commanders, and the deputy brigade commander Dandry to the high ground.

He pointed to the middle of the canyon and said: "I need you to concentrate your troops in the middle of the canyon to block the enemy army in the mode of regular warfare, but please don't resist desperately, what I need is to fight and retreat, and lure the enemy deeper." ”

"Xia Guan understands. Several people spoke in unison.

Vega nodded with satisfaction and continued: "I will also be on the front line when the time comes, you just need to remember that the sacrifice of war is inevitable, and don't be carried away by anger." ”

Vega didn't want to go to the front line to command.

However, this kind of interdiction warfare in a race against time requires on-the-spot response and immediate command, and the headquarters being set up in the rear will only cause a conflict between orders and the actual situation, and then lead to failure.

The main forces were arranged.

Vega looked at the deputy brigade commander Dandry and said, "Your Excellency Dandry, I need you to lead your 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th regiments to serve as the flank troops of this blocking battle, ambush on both sides of the canyon, and prepare long-range throwing weapons such as stones, fire oil, and arrows in advance. Once our troops lure the enemy into an ambush, please attack the enemy as soon as possible to cover us from the battlefield. ”

This is Vega's plan to stop it.

It mainly adopts the method of frontal blocking and flank cover.

So that the main force responsible for blocking can retreat safely, and it also allows the royal army not to dare to chase too deeply when it is ambushed, and can only advance to the battle line of a few hundred meters and hundreds of meters.

By the time the Kingdom Army completely breaks through the blocking circle of Tully Canyon, it will take 10 days to say the least.

Vega's only concern was whether Deputy Brigade Commander Dandry, who was in charge of flank cover, would take the opportunity to do something, but as soon as the thought arose, he put it behind him.

In such a time of great right and wrong.

As long as he is a smart enough person, he will not do anything in secret.

Because now Vega and Dandry are grasshoppers on a rope, if the mission fails, Vega and Dandry will be completely guilty, and if Dandry causes the mission to fail because of Dandry's personal emotions, he will even be fully responsible.

In Vega's opinion.

If you really want to retaliate, there will be opportunities in the future.

Taking this risk is completely a stupid way to hurt a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, at least he won't do such a thing at such a time, maybe in the end he won't be able to cause a little impact on Dandry, but will compensate himself.

Therefore, Vega gave Dandry a friendly look, hinting at the other party.

"The subordinate officer received the order. ”

The same friendly tone came from Dandry's mouth.

At least on the surface, Dandry seemed to be quite acquainted, but there was a subtle eagerness in his eyes.
