Chapter 146: Breakthrough

More than half a month passed in a hurry, and it has to be said that after the establishment of the Supreme Command in Salamondo, Falkenridge's military performance became more ruthless, precise and deadly.

After Salamondo had abandoned those burdensome moral constraints, Falkenridge finally pushed the battle line to the northeast again, and by this time most of the land in Taukaba had fallen, and the west and south sides of Stasi were almost surrounded by Falkenridge's white banner.

On this day, an important military meeting was being held at the Falkenridge sub-command post.

"Stacy is aware of their disadvantage, so we have to get the best position before Stasi's generals gather up these routs. General Igor stared at the map in front of him and said to his staff officers, "Here, and what is the army here, can you continue the attack?"

On the huge map, Falkenridge has been sorted out and summarized in the later stage, and all the strategic towns have been renamed with code names, so as to facilitate the secrecy of the communications of the grassroots troops. At this time, General Igor's attention is on a small town called DX-076.

Normally, he would not ask such a question, but due to the relatively aggressive strategy of the great general Salamondo, the troops he commanded were now too scattered, and many front-line troops really had no offensive strength, and many troops that still retained combat effectiveness were also urgently transferred to the north of Falkenridge because of the sudden attack of the Duchy of Sefi.

All in all, most of the assaults at the moment take place at the level of squadrons or even squads, which is simply unimaginable for an army group with more than 100,000 troops.

So he opened his mouth to confirm the actual situation of his troops there, and he had to make sure that they were able to protect themselves before he could order them to attack. Wouldn't it be a joke to give the order to attack casually, in case there is only one squad of troops there?

"Report, I think there's a steam chariot squad, and a special detachment of mixed spellcaster squads. A staff officer pointed to the map and replied to General Igor: "However, they are scattered over a distance of several kilometers, and it seems unlikely that they will attack with troops." ”

The so-called mixed caster squadron is actually a compromise with Falkenridge's inability to assemble a truly sizable caster force. In this mixed unit, only about 1 in 10 soldiers are capable of spellcasting, while the rest are responsible for keeping the caster safe or providing some fire support with ranged weapons.

Often, such mixed units are vulnerable to enemy attacks due to their lack of resistance and are not covered by infantry brigades or steam chariots, which has happened more than once in the past.

Fortunately, the forces in the vicinity of DX-076 were lucky not to lose contact with their protectors.

"I see. General Igor nodded, then continued to look at the map. The town in his eyes was so tempting that if Falkenridge could control it, an important transportation artery would be opened.

And then...... Falkenridge was able to truly besiege the Stasi and force their army to fight a decisive battle on the Stasi homeland.

He turned around, ordered the Warlock to activate the Communication Crystal, and then spoke, "I'm General Igor...... Well, now I order the 1st Consolidated Division to immediately transfer a unit and capture the town codenamed DX-076, is there any difficulty?"

Different from daily life, in war, if your boss asks you what difficulties you have, this time is often not to make you complain about your various difficulties, but only to ask you to say the answer that is not difficult!

In addition, the first division had been General Igor's troops since the beginning of the defense of Yanlong Fortress that year, so their commander naturally couldn't embarrass his old boss, and the task of capturing that town was immediately agreed.

However, after the end of the communication, the command post of the 1st Division was already in chaos, the positions of various units were being confirmed repeatedly, the counterattacks of the Stasi army in some sections were also being summarized and processed, and of course, the supply and fire support liaison, and the list of fallen soldiers was still counted.

As for capturing a small town, although it is indeed important, it does not require a whole division to do it, and the first division has no energy to deal with it, so it should be a good choice to hand it over to a brigade under his command. Thinking of this, the division commander directly contacted one of the captains.

When the group leader received an order from the division commander to capture DX-076, he also did not hesitate to agree to his superior's request, and then simply made a guarantee: "Don't worry, my lord, I promise that it will be occupied in the shortest possible time, without any problems!"

However, it was only when he re-looked at the position of his troops on the map that he realized what this order to attack meant for the entire brigade.

"So...... What do you think of our predicament?" the captain looked helplessly at the young officer beside him who had just been transferred, and spread his hands to say that he could not do anything about it.

"Uh...... Draw some troops to reinforce it?" the young staff officer held back for a long time before he could say this. Although he is still excellent in the military academy, he is not a military god, think about it, if he had the talent of the heavens and the earth, he would have gone to the Supreme Command or His Majesty the King to recommend himself, do you still need to come here?

I heard that the guy named Gareto in the Supreme Command was directly out of the regular military because of the appreciation of the general......

The captain shrugged his shoulders, and the staff officer's words were equal to nothing. If he has extra troops, he still needs to ask the operational staff officer? Just directly support the front-line troops to fight over, this method is known to fools, let alone a general: "Okay, but I have to say, there are very few support troops that we can use now." ”

"That'...... It was up to the captain of the third squadron to figure out a way. ”

After pondering for a long time, this staff officer finally came up with a more feasible solution. After all, attacking towns is not a field operation, so the first and second squadrons that are good at field warfare do not need to draw troops, and the only thing left is the mixed force of the third squadron, who is not looking for them?

This method is the most in line with the captain's wishes, so he nodded and contacted his subordinates: "Is it difficult to take DX-076 Town?"

"Oh my God, you're not kidding, are you? It's not that I'm pessimistic, but ...... The Stasi army didn't fight back, and once they started fighting back, our defenses would collapse. ”

In a middle-level military organization such as a brigade, everyone is considered a front-line combat unit, so there is no need to play bureaucratic tricks. All of them are people who live with their heads tied to their belts, and of course there is any difficulty to tell the truth: "Let me draw troops, there is really no more!"

"Can't you draw it at all? A few squads will be done!" "The captain is really going crazy, a team usually has an establishment of about 5,000 people, but now it can't even draw more than 100 people?

"......" was silent for a while, and the captain of the third squadron finally spoke, "The words of the squad...... I can think of a way, but I'm afraid it won't reach a hundred. ”

"It's okay! Just have combat effectiveness!" The captain nodded hurriedly, he was afraid that if he hesitated slightly, the hundred people in front of him might be gone.

In this way, the final order to attack DX-076 Town was sent to the squad level, and the combat mission that was originally given to an integrated division to complete was now completed by less than a hundred people.

In other words, an interesting scene emerged: the highest decision of the General Headquarters of the Eastern Front Army Group of Falkenridge, the operational order to capture the town of DX-076, was pushed all the way through, passed through the division commander, the group leader and the squadron leader, and was handed over to a squad leader to carry it out.

So, what is the situation of this squad that has received the order at this moment?

Ninell Abel threw a piece of "military meat" into his mouth, which had been burned half-cooked and had significantly more stiff tendons than meat, and chewed it hard, only to realize once again that his teeth might not be enough to deal with this piece of meat that was too bad to be considered meat.

"Damn ......"

Cursing quietly for the food in the army, Niner wisely chose to take a sip of water and swallow the whole "meat" directly into his stomach.

"Sergeant Major, the squad leader is already waiting for you. A soldier walked by, reminding the young man, who had just turned twenty-five, what to do next.

"Got it, I'll go right away. ”

Sighing, Ninel knew that his rare break was over. As the strongest soldier in this squad composed of two disabled squads, the squad leader also attaches great importance to his own opinions, so it is impossible not to go.

Of course, the so-called title of the strongest soldier is actually not entirely obtained by Ninner's own ability.

Originally, Ninel was just a human until he inadvertently killed a beautiful white deer. Unexpectedly, this white deer is the embodiment of the god of hunting.

As a result, he was blessed by the gods – he preferred to believe it was a curse – and was given the soul of the beast to become a werewolf.

The werewolves mentioned here are certainly not the common wolf orcs on the mainland, although the two creatures are indeed difficult to distinguish from each other in appearance, but the former is more like a "beast" than a "human" than the latter.

Ninel continues to hide in the town in human form. However, he became a hunter, because only in this way could he often go to the mountains to hunt unbridled in order to obtain enough meat.

Later, when all-out war broke out, Niner was drafted as an honorable cannon fodder.

It must be said that Ninner's luck is not bad, it is now his second year of fighting, and it is often good to have five out of ten low-level soldiers who can survive to the second year.

Ninel, on the other hand, relied on his God-given strength and good luck, and he has not suffered any serious injuries in the battle until now.

In fact, on this day, Niner was planning to discuss a battle plan to attack DX-076 with the team leader who was responsible for covering his hybrid caster. They didn't know that their superiors had given the order to attack, so it can be seen how strong the grassroots commander Falkenridge had been to grasp the situation on the battlefield after a long battle baptism and a series of reforms.

In many cases, Falkenridge's front-line soldiers spontaneously organized local tactics without waiting for operational orders from the top, which reduced Falkenridge's reaction time in another way and greatly reduced the casualties of the troops.
