――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

General Grigory has not been in a good mood lately

First, the news of the heavy losses of the 2nd Division, which attacked the Bellerive Forest, followed by the defeat of the 6th Division, which attacked Landobasa.

Before he could recover from these two bad news, the offensive on the Eastern and Southern Fronts was also seriously hampered......

The Emperor's Southern Front and Central Front met with stubborn resistance from the Gallian Army.

Unlike the passive defense of the Gallia Army during the Northern Raiders' operations, the Eastern and Southern Fronts, especially the Eastern Front, were in front of the wide Eastern Front, and the Emperor ** led by General Grigory was actually attacked by the Gallia Army's powerful counteroffensive!

This shocked Gregory, who was somewhat contemptuous of the small country of Galia, and after careful investigation, he learned that the army he was leading was facing the Eastern Border Guards of Galia, which had been reorganized from the former Galian Defense Army, led by Roland Krajfes, the first wise general of Galia.

It is very clear to Grigory of the Galian Defense Forces that one of the squadrons he led and one squadron of the Galian Defense Forces fought in the last war.

That battle made him remember it vividly, and the Gallia Army, which was called the western sheep by the emperor, actually dared to brave the artillery fire of the emperor to attack the whole army.

The entire squadron of Gallia infantry, from the officers to the privates, all with rifles with bayonets and sapper shovels in their hands, rushed into the line of defense where the Gregory squadron was stationed, and the two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

Are the Galiahs sheep? Have you ever seen a sheep that can devour a wolf alive?

In less than ten minutes of fighting, Gregory's squadron had lost more than half of its casualties. If it weren't for the fact that the friendly troops saw that the situation was not right and rushed to reinforce it, Gregory's squadron might have been routed.

So later in Gregory's personal notes there was the phrase 'Beware of the Galia Defense Army'.

And now, in the same place in the last war, the same army of the Galian Defense Army, fought a very similar battle, the difference is that the name of the other party has changed, it has become a border guard, and he is no longer the leader of the squadron, but the commander of the Eastern Route Army of the Reich.

"Your Excellency, General! The Galia border guards have launched an infiltration attack on our front-line positions! The other side has launched a surprise attack on our frontal position in squadrons by taking advantage of the smoke of gunpowder and the obstruction of vision! Now all the troops on the front line are in chaos, and the organizational ties between the squadrons have been broken! The commanders of the major groups are unable to stop the effective command!"

The communicator anxiously reported the situation from the front.

"The hateful Galia Defense Force, do you want to use the advantage of individual soldiers and squads to gradually deplete our morale?"

Grigory said hatefully

That's right, under the universal education system in Galia, the literacy rate and cultural education rate of soldiers is almost 100 percent, because of the political system, students have been educated in the idea of loyalty and patriotism since childhood, so the quality of individual soldiers, the organization and coordination ability of small-scale troops are very high.

With the right leadership, the effectiveness of the Gallia squad and squadron-level units is by no means comparable to that of the illiterate and vagabond Imperial infantry (the soldier culture gap is so terrible).

Especially in this situation of homegrown combat, melee and small troops, the advantage of Galia is even more obvious!

Using rich combat knowledge, flexible thinking, and a high degree of organization, the Galia border guards on the eastern defense line turned into invisible daggers, stabbing at the emperor's defense line one by one, disrupting the enemy's brigade structure, destroying the enemy's communication facilities, cutting telephone lines, raiding the enemy's headquarters, and taking advantage of the enemy's rush to advance the troops to take the opportunity to intersperse, so as to disrupt and completely stunned the emperor's eastern advance army.

Emperor's combat advantage lies in wing-level and divisional-level units, as their main heavy equipment is deployed on units of this level.

The Galia border guards, on the other hand, did not eat this at all, taking the squadron as a unit, attacking the enemy in small groups, or several squadrons uniting together to raid the enemy's advancing squadron, or scattering and raiding the enemy's search squad, when the emperor's tank brigade units slowly arrived, when the divisional artillery brigade set up artillery mounts and prepared fire support...... The infiltration squadron of the Gallia Army has long since disappeared.

"Your Excellency! A brigade belonging to the 29th Division was defeated! A brigade belonging to the 68th Division was surrounded! The artillery brigade of the 108th Division was attacked by surprise and suffered heavy losses......!

"That's enough!"

Listening to the constant news of defeats from the front, Grigory was very angry.

"Your Excellency, do you need to send reserves now? If you send reserves, you will definitely be able to reverse the occupation. ”

The deputy suggested to Gregory

"No, whoever uses up the reserves first on the battlefield loses. The order was sent to all the troops on the front line, the order to attack was cancelled, the whole army was downsized, the troops that had been attacked and attacked moved closer to the friendly and neighboring troops, and the second-line troops were deployed on the spot, ready to meet the retreat of the first-line troops. The entire army of the Eastern Route Army retreated 30 kilometers and regrouped. In this round, it was the Gallians who won...... No, it should be said that ......"

Grigory was a little reluctant and a little excited

"It was the Wehrmacht of Roland Krajfes who won. ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Your Excellency, the Emperor's troops have begun to shrink and retreat! The enemy's vanguard has stopped advancing and has withdrawn to the east!"

In the headquarters of the border guards, the intelligence officer overheard the radio conversation between the enemy's front-line brigades by radio interception, and excitedly reported to Lieutenant General Lorance Krajfis, who led their border guards to another victory

"Really? Finally retreated. ”

Hearing the news of the emperor's retreat on all fronts, Roland Krajfis also breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, the pressure on him from the emperor ** is too great.

Through the captured prisoners, it was learned that the enemy general on the opposite side was Lieutenant General Beruhoro Grigory, who was known as the Imperial Devil General. One of the Empire's finest generals.

It is not an easy thing to be able to force this devil general back. After all......

"The border guards are no longer the Wehrmacht of ten years ago. ”

Roland Krajfes sighed.

Yes, since ten years ago, Damon and his son used ** and other means to control the garrison of the capital, and the conspiracy to force General Gint away as an opportunity to launch a great liquidation of the Wehrmacht.

First, it was suddenly announced that Galia would cut defense spending, reducing the number of the Wehrmacht from 150,000 to 80,000, and the strength of the Northern Army from 60,000 to 40,000. And that's not all. After the completion of the first cut, it was suddenly announced that the re-formation of the Gallia Central Regular Army would be reorganized. Part-time by the commander of the Wangcheng garrison...... To put it simply, Damon's family controlled this army and was out of the jurisdiction of the Wehrmacht.

To be honest, at that time, Rowance Krajfis already knew that the Damon father and son were politicians with interests rather than soldiers, and they knew nothing about war.

However, he believes that Damon should understand that the Wehrmacht is the sword of Galia, the last weapon to protect Galia, and if there is no brave and warlike Wehrmacht, then Galia is not far from the country.

'Without Galia, there would be no nobles of Galia, and Damon's father and son, who are nobles for generations, should not fail to understand this kind of simple truth, right?'

This was what the wise general Roland Krajfis thought, and it was also what most of the Wehrmacht generals thought.

Galia without the Wehrmacht is not Galia, this is something that the Galia soldiers understand.

Pity...... All of them underestimated the ambition and stupidity of the Damon father and son.

Or it was because of the greed for profit, or it was precisely by taking advantage of the psychology of the upright Wehrmacht soldiers that the Damon father and son betrayed the national interests of the entire Galia for their own selfish interests.

It destroyed the modern military system that Galia had built up with great difficulty since the First World War.

self-destruction of the city wall, but also complacent. A group of aristocratic gentlemen and political opportunists who relied on to 'reorganize' their armies were formed into an army that makes people laugh off their teeth.

Have you ever seen a commander who has never been in office?

Have you ever seen a commander who doesn't know who his deputy is?

Have you ever seen a unit that doesn't know who your boss is?

These jokes, which should have only happened during the feudal dynasty, became the norm in the regular army of Galia in less than 10 years.

The regular army has been ruined by bureaucracy and personal grievances, and the Central Army, which accounts for nearly half of the country's standing army, is like this -- a garbage army that is an expert in civil wars and outsiders in foreign wars.

But Lieutenant General Damon, the garbage can commander of such a garbage army, actually wanted to use the hands of the emperor to eliminate the last obstacle to his monopoly on the Gallian army - the Northern Army and the last foundation of the reorganized Wehrmacht - the border guards.

From the beginning of the war, Da Meng used the power of the military department to hand over the northern and eastern fronts to the northern army and border guards who were not under his jurisdiction. However, the regular army under his command only sent out a miscellaneous card that was not a descendant, and the descendant troops were all withdrawn to the capital.

It is already difficult for normal people to understand what this fat general who is blinded by power thinks this.

Did he really think that with the army composed of those politicians and villains, he could withstand the fierce attack of the emperor?

Did he really feel that with his ability and charisma, he could get into a position in the Gallia Confederation occupied by the Empire?

Maybe, maybe not, but at that time...... He Damon is just pork on the emperor's board, and he is slaughtered with others.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Guy, have all the civilians in the east retreated safely?"

Wiping the sweat from his head, Lorence Krajfis asked the deputy

"Yes, a total of 335,600 people, all of whom have been withdrawn, and now only the troops of our border guards are left in the eastern region. ”

Guy handed the commander the file containing the military and civilian population statistics of the eastern region, and he didn't even need to look at it to know that he had already memorized the evacuation plans and processes of the population of all the cities on the eastern front.

Seeing the roster handed to him, Lorence Krajfis waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need it

"I'm still relieved that you're doing things. Guy, for now, let's talk about our casualties. ”

At the mention of the word 'casualties', a pained expression appeared on Roland Kraifis's face.

His affection for the Wehrmacht and the border guards was so deep that he, the chief of staff of the Gallia Army, spent most of his life not in the military headquarters, but mixed with the front-line troops.

In his opinion, the Wehrmacht and border guards are like their own home, and the soldiers are like their own children.

The child was injured and killed in order to protect the family, who is not sad about the parents?

"Yes...... After this battle, more than half of the casualties of the border guards have been lost, and now there are less than 50,000 of the 80,000 casualties and missing people left at the full number......"

Guy looked up at the old commander's pale face when he heard the number of casualties, and couldn't help but answer a little vaguely

"Less than 50,000? That's not your style, let's be honest, my old bones can hold up. ”

As a result, he took a sip of the coffee sent by the orderly, and the hand holding the cup in his hand and the cup in his hand were trembling slightly......

"Yes, there are 46,817 people left. ”

“............”

A brief silence, and everyone knows what this silence represents. It is a silent mourning, a memorial, and a remembrance of the former comrades-in-arms......

"Only half of it is left......"

Lorence Krajfis doesn't like to put sugar in coffee, he said that this can make people understand the helplessness and pain of life as soon as possible, but I don't know if this time the coffee in the cup or the old commander's heart is more bitter......

"Your Excellency Lieutenant General......"

Guy wanted to say something to comfort the veteran general who had dedicated his life to the Gallia Army, but he didn't know what to say because he knew......

No words can change the reality of the blood and sacrifice of 40,000 soldiers, this reality is too painful and too cruel. ’

“...... The scheduled cover mission has been completed, and we are almost leaving. ”

Putting down the glass, Roland Krajfes did not continue the conversation he had just said.

"Yes, when, and where?"

Guy felt that his current state was also a little wrong, and he usually wouldn't talk so much useless nonsense. Clearly, Krajfis is not alone in grieving.

"The passage to the south has been cut off by the emperor, and it is impossible. I can only go to Lando Barcelona in the west...... By the way, how's Mosed going?

The Commander is now very keen to know the news of the Mosed Brigade that has gone to support Lando Barça.

"There is no news yet, judging by the time, it should be at seven o'clock this morning...... It's time now. ”

Glancing at his watch, Guy had answered the commander's question with no mistake.

"yes, that's good, that's good......"

The commander suddenly felt his heart relax, and slowly lay down in his chair.

"Commander?"

Guy rarely saw the commander with such a reassuring expression.

"You know what? Guy, how did I feel when I heard last week that one of the Emperor's divisions had attacked Lando Barça?"

Krajfis asked, lying back in his chair

"No...... I don't know. ”

How could he possibly guess the general's thoughts?

"At that time...... I'm scared."

Roland Krajfi confessed his thoughts.

"Pavilion...... How is this possible?"

Gai also did not believe that a general who had fought on the battlefield all his life would be afraid of war

"Yes, I was scared, I didn't lie. ”

Getting up from his chair again, looking at the deputies and cronies around him who had followed him for many years, the old general said truthfully

"At the time, I thought...... The eastern defense line is finished...... The Wehrmacht is finished...... The border guards are finished...... Hundreds of years of hard work by the Gallia Army are over...... Galia's sword is completely in my hands...... 80,000 soldiers are finished...... And I'm ...... It's over......"

As he spoke, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

"I couldn't sleep that night, because although I was very tired, I couldn't sleep, because as soon as I closed my eyes, I would see that the Wehrmacht, which I had fought all my life, was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of imperial troops.

Seeing the children who had run out of ammunition and food, they held high big guns and battle flags, and rushed to the strict battle with the determination to die, waiting for the emperor**. I saw the children fall one by one...... One by one, they died in battle...... One by one, precious lives were lost...... I seem to see ...... Maximilia, the commander-in-chief of the emperor, stood on the top of the hill at the bottom of the Belcas Valley, looking at the border guards who had been cut off from the back road being surrounded and annihilated. See the banner of Galia and the will to resist burned in the flames...... I'm scared, really. ”

Wiping away tears, Krajfis continued

"When I heard that Landobarca was defending, I couldn't believe my ears because I knew the regular army of Landobarca and knew that they didn't have that ability...... It wasn't until I received the same news from the capital that I was convinced that Landobarca had held and that the Wehrmacht had been saved. I was able to regain my strength, so that I could launch this counterattack and repel the attack of the emperor. ”

Guy and the generals around him were stunned by the words of Lorence Krajfes, it was not that they did not know about the battle of Lando Barcelona, but everyone was too busy to think about these things.

It wasn't until the general spoke that he realized how important Landobarca was to the border guards who came out.

"I would like to thank the soldiers of Lando Barça, they are the heroes of Galia, the hope of the country, and the benefactors of all the tens of thousands of border guards who survived on the eastern road. ”

"Your Excellency, there is radio communication in Lando Barsa!

Speak of the devil......

Rowance Krajfes got up, straightened his clothes, regained his strength, regained his Commander-in-Chief's momentum, walked over to the radio intercom, and took the intercom from the operator's hand steadily

"This is the Border Guard Command, Lando Barça, do you hear that?"
