Chapter VI: Intelligence Failures

"Report to the General, according to the report of the Forward Observation Post, yesterday night we brought another Gallia army in front of us, about a brigade in strength, for instructions. ”

"There's nothing to instruct, follow the booking process, and call me back how to come...... A bunch of waste. ”

The thought of the battle the day before yesterday, which could not be called a battle, made General Grigory feel sick.

A whole battalion of regular troops of the Gallia army actually launched an attack on their front in an unorganized manner.

The strength of a brigade, the preparation of artillery fire did not work at all, and the shooting of Zhu Yuan was also marked as a mess. There were more chariots than they were, but they scattered the chariots into each infantry squad like candy, instead of organizing them to attack.

The quality of the commanders was extremely poor, and the officers of the troops were extremely bad. When the battle was at its fiercest, the opponent's command system had completely collapsed, and the battle was completely unorganized.

The strength of an entire brigade was wiped out by the whole army that took him less than an hour to fight, and it was in vain that he spent so much effort the day before yesterday to wait for the battle.

For the sake of the reform of the Imperial Army, and in order to verify the effectiveness of the application of different tactics and the establishment system of different services, General Grigory, who had never participated in party struggles in the Empire, once took the risk of being labeled a 'Maximilian faction' by domestic forces, and insisted on the remote battlefield of the Gallia Front, which was completely disproportionate to his own identity and status. But so far, except for the border guards who had some movement at the beginning and then did not move, he has not encountered any opponents with research value for a long time. This annoyed him.

This reminded him of the words he said when he was in the military academy

"You can't get strong when you fight an opponent who is too weak. ”

He longs for a stronger enemy, at least a more reliable one, not a rabble like the regular army of Galia.

"Ordered the rear troops to hurry up and remove the Lagunette fuel and supplies stored in the base. When is Colonel Randyika's troops coming to pick it up?"

Now, although he only has a brigade of troops on the front, in fact he has a regiment of troops in his hands. Two of the three brigades needed to help Colonel Randyika's transport troops transfer the last batch of supplies stored in the base away, so they were not placed on the front line, and at the same time, considering that it was difficult for the Gallia Army to launch an offensive above the brigade level, so they were so relieved to put only one brigade on the front line, because this was not a federal front, and one was mostly enough to defeat Galia.

"The colonel's regiment arrived last night and is being transferred on the north side of the base. ”

It's a shame to say that what should have been done to supply the troops can only be handed over to the combat troops because of the shortage of manpower, but there is no way to do it, the Galia Dispatch Army has not been supplied with domestic troops for a long time, and the people in the logistics troops who can fight have been pulled to the front-line troops to enrich their combat strength, and now this batch of materials in the hands of General Grigory is the last batch of strategic reserves, and there is no room for any mistakes, and it is normal for the two regiments to guard together.

"Why didn't I receive the telegram last night?"

Last night, General Gregory had been studying the battle report that had just been sent from the front of the Federation, and had not slept until he heard that the foreign colonel of the Philalytes had arrived, but he was a little unhappy not to say a word to him.

The colonel said he ...... He...... He ...... with a couple of girls last night."

"Bastard!, how can you forget about personal pleasure?!"

In addition to being prejudiced against Randy Ika's skin color, which is different from that of Europeans, General Gregory is more unaccustomed to Randy Ica's somewhat loose style. The war situation has reached such a point, and he still wants to find a woman.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry~ I was a little tired from playing yesterday and forgot to talk to you, isn't this here to apologize to you?~"

Saying that Cao Cao Cao arrived, just as he was saying that Colonel Randy Ika came, still with that cynical smile. Unlike Gregory, who came to Galia for experiments, this guy was a serious Maximilian faction, and he was different from Gregory.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you about something on the radio at the headquarters yesterday, but it shouldn't matter, right? After all, I arrived on time according to the previous plan, didn't I?"

"It's useless to talk too much, hurry up and let your people accept the supplies, and I'll go to the front line to inspect again. ”

With that, Grigory threw down Randiika, who was always on two worlds with his nerves, and went to the front with his lieutenant......

.................................... Faction Dividing Line....................................

"Okay guys, this is our basic plan, do you have any objections?"

After looking around at the officers in the command room, he saw that they didn't say anything, and continued

"Since there is no objection, then I will continue, according to the results of my reconnaissance, there is a brigade of troops deployed in front of the Imperial Army on the opposite side, and the depth is unknown...... Because I can't touch it with the eldest lady...... But fortunately, there is our universal intelligence monitor to confirm our suspicions, now there is about a brigade of the enemy in Kulundin is on the defensive, the logistics personnel are organizing the transfer of materials seems to be preparing to retreat, this is our excellent opportunity to capture Kulundin, we now have about a regiment of troops in hand, it is difficult for Kulundin to fully deploy in front, so a planned brigade to attack from the front, let me lead the assault team from the flank to the enemy's rear to intercept the enemy's retreat, if the situation allows, I will directly lead people to the heart of the enemy to destroy all the supplies。 We've just talked about the specific frontal tactics, and now let's talk about the surprise team, and I propose that I personally lead the team. Do you have any ......?"

"We have an opinion!"

Before Carl could finish speaking, the commander of the room resolutely rejected his opinion, and very resolutely.

"Please, brother, can you let us save some snacks?What if something happens to you?!"

This is the unconscious sister Tessa

"What do you want me to do?!"

This is the unconscious Lilia

"What do you want Garya to do?!"

This was the concern of the patriotic Gallia officers

"What do you want Princess Lilia to do?!"

This is the general of the Imperial Army who is worried about the safety of the duke's horse...... Ahem, the voices of the instructors

"I'm talking about you...... It's just a commando...... Not really, right?"

In Lando Barsa, there are more difficult times than this, why do you always talk about leading commandos like this?

"Head Gilman. ”

In the end, it was Ayanami, who had been in the regiment for several months as a prisoner of war instructor but became the most vocal person after Karl, and even the Gallia officers admired him and listened to him, which alone also showed his ability.

The officers were done talking, and it was his turn to speak.

"Are you sure that there is really only one brigade of the Imperial Army on the other side?"

Long before that, Ayanami discovered that Galia ...... To be precise, Carl's intelligence source was surprisingly accurate, but there always seemed to be some loopholes that made him unable to speak, and Carl didn't tell him about the radio decipherment when asked several times, and he didn't even talk to him about the intelligence source.

This made him very concerned.

For the other party's conservatism, Ayanami doesn't mind, after all, the current Carl is still fighting for Galia, and it is normal for him to have reservations about himself before joining the empire, and he doesn't care.

However, whether the source of the intelligence is reliable or not needs to be confirmed. Prudence and prudence are the characteristics of his thinking.

"Of course~ our intelligence sources are very accurate~ please rest assured of this~"

Seeing that Ayanami was just entangled in this, Carl confidently patted his chest and reassured

"The Imperial Army on the opposite side is a brigade ~ This is no problem ~"

After all, it was the intelligence deciphered by the supercomputer, how could something go wrong?~

At least that's what Carl thinks.

"Really? That's fine. ”

Seeing that Carl said this kind of thing very confidently, Ayanami gave a life-saving straw at the end and nodded

"If this is true, I agree with the plan of attacking head-on with a brigade, and Karl leading the assault team to raid from the flanks. ”

"Ayanami!"

Unexpectedly, Ayanami actually followed Carl to mess around, Lilia glared at Ayanami fiercely with hatred, but the latter continued to be calm as if he hadn't seen it

"Are you suspicious that a brigade of the Lando Barça regiment, which we have been training for months, cannot defeat the motley brigade of the Maximilian Army?"

"Of course not. ”

For this Lando Bassa regiment, which is based on brave patriots, Lando Barça veterans, trained by the best officer corps of the Empire, supplemented by the best commanders of all stripes, Lilia of course trusts and trusts. In terms of the combat effectiveness of this regiment, even if a brigade from the most elite guards of the Imperial Army came over to single-handedly challenge Lilia, she was confident that she would not be defeated, and she was confident in fighting against a brigade like the Galia Dispatch Army, which lacked food and drink and had many miscellaneous cards and serious attrition.

"Then let's do it according to the commander's wishes. After all, this is an opportunity to end the lives of the Garia dispatch once and for all. ”

As he spoke, he took out the materials that he had sorted out all night.

"According to my calculations, the strategic materials in the Cullentin base are the last batch of supplies in the hands of the Maximilian Dispatch Army, and without this batch of supplies, the Galia Dispatch Army will lose its combat effectiveness in less than a month. This is a good opportunity to end this war immediately. ”

"End the war?!Are you telling the truth?!General Cullowwell?!"

Hearing Ayanami's words, the first two things to shine were the officers from Galia, after all, the opportunity to end the war appeared in front of them for the first time, and it was no wonder that they were not excited.

"I've never been joking, if Maximilia's troops are deprived of this batch of supplies, they will lose their combat capability in as little as three weeks, or as much as a month and a half, that's for sure. ”

That is to say...... If it does, in another month I'll be able to ...... with Carl."

Thinking about the way she walked into church with Carl in her white wedding dress, Lilia's eyes were full of little stars.

Like Lilia, the 'traitors' of the Imperial Army, who felt relieved that they were finally coming to an end, also muttered that this tightrope walking day was finally over, and that the hopeless Maximilian faction would be finished as soon as possible, and that they would return home with the duke, princess, and colt as soon as possible. They didn't want to stay for a moment in the land of Galia.

Just because of Ayanami's words. The officers in the headquarters who had not approved of Karl's attack agreed to let Karl give it a try, but they needed to have a suitable number of guards and sufficient troops, at least with more than one squadron.

"Sergeant Major Liella. ”

"Ahh

I didn't expect a group of bigwigs to mention themselves at the end of the meeting, and Liella, who had been wandering on the side for a long time, was suddenly called and hurriedly replied

"The head of the regiment will leave it to you. ”

"Your subordinates must protect the regiment commander! Please rest assured that Your Excellency the General!"

Why were the officers of Galia so deferential and obedient in the face of the captive Ayanami? Was it because they were not patriotic? Absolutely not.

Probably because of yearning, after all, such a good high-ranking officer is almost impossible to see in Galia. After spending some time together, Ayanami and Lilia's abilities can be regarded as completely subduing a group of Gallian officers who were originally prejudiced against the Empire.

No wonder the Imperial Army is so powerful, no wonder the Empire has changed from a barren country in the corner of the Ann Continent to the vast empire it is now, relying on these soldiers?

And conquering soldiers and subordinates is their basic skill.

For the Galian soldiers, accustomed to the almost numbness and despair of pig-headed officers, a good officer was unattainable. And now there are so many in one go.

It's no wonder they get along so well.

After all, the officers of the Imperial Army also liked these soldiers of the Principality of Gallia who did not know how to resist.

Very enthusiastic, all of them have gone to school, their heads are not wooden, and they are clever and obedient to commands. Such good soldiers are also difficult to find in the Empire.

Seeing that the Gallia soldiers and the Imperial Army officers who had been a mess a few months ago got along so harmoniously, it was really speechless, but this is the truth.

In this way, the fully integrated, commanded by Imperial officers, composed of Gallia soldiers, armed with the advanced military ideas brought by Karl, would launch the first hard-to-face regular battle against the frontal Imperial army.

The ratio of forces between the two sides was estimated to be three to one, with the Gallia side having an overwhelming advantage.

But in reality, it is...... The Imperial Army in front of the Gallarondo Barça Regiment, counting the troops left behind at the base, the logistics troops, and the troops led by General Grigory, Colonel Landika brought the troops to take over the supplies.

The true ratio was one to three, and Galia faced three times as many Imperial troops......
