――――――――――― yesterday afternoon, the City Defense Command ――――――――――

"Report to the Acting Commander of the City Defense, we have a total of 2,500 sets of Volunteer uniforms and 1,500 sets of regular army uniforms in our warehouse in Lando Barça, which were originally prepared for wartime mobilization and garrison expansion. In addition to this, we have 500 infantry shields. ”

The officer at the Landobasa quartermaster depot reported to Carl

"I see. Go down. After a while, I will ask the soldiers to collect their uniforms, remember, they will be distributed one by one in the squadron, so that there will be no situation where some people have military uniforms and some people do not have military uniforms, and tomorrow morning, I will let all the armed citizens of Lando Barcelona wear military uniforms. As for the defensive shields, give them to the squads at the corners of the streets, and let them make good use of these shields at least three shields in a group. It is very useful when blocking enemy attacks. ”

Karl said as he looked at the ammunition ration storage report form

"Yes, but there is still a shortage of nearly 2,000 uniforms. ”

The administrator knows that there are now more than 6,000 armed citizens in Lando Barça, and since the former female commander defeated the enemy's two wings, the morale of the Lando Barça army and civilians has risen sharply, and many people who have almost given up hope have rekindled their fighting spirit under the encouragement of this victory, and have given up fleeing and stayed to join the army, so after a big battle, the defenders of Landobasa have not decreased, but increased a lot. reached almost nine thousand people.

"It's okay, the rest of the people will be organized into the general reserve, and they will not participate in the defense for the time being, so let's send out the uniforms from now on. Don't waste time. ”

"Yes!" Hearing Karl's order, the quartermaster of the warehouse saluted and left.

"Your Excellency Gilman, do you really plan to fight this battle in the city?" asked Karl with some reluctance, and to tell him in his heart, they didn't want the war to happen in the city, although the city had been destroyed by enemy shelling, they still wanted to keep the remaining city as much as possible.

"Then what are you going to do?Let the citizens rush to the field to fight the emperor ** and then give up the city to the emperor **?" Karl glanced at the brainless citizen representative, glaring at the citizen representative who couldn't raise his head at all, after enough one night of adaptation, Carl has completely entered the situation and integrated himself into the role of 'city defense commander'.

Don't think too much, just like when you were the captain of the Hessian convoy, think of everything that should be thought of, plan everything that should be planned, send all the right people to the right positions, and then understand the situation and trends of the other side through intelligence and your own judgment, constantly adjust your own countermeasures, seize the initiative on the battlefield, and finally stab the enemy in the soft underbelly. ’

Recalling his experience of being the captain of the Hessian team for more than half a year, Karl adjusted his mentality, thanks to Karl's three years of hard training in Hesse and the excellent quality of the people and the fast and convenient mobilization system of Galia. With the foundation left by Lilia and Carl's previous experience, in less than half a day, the entire city defense system has begun to operate around Carl.

It should be said that the people of Gallia were very obedient, and the common people who lived under the long constitutional monarchy were very accustomed to 'obedience', and although the minds of the people were very active, no one rose up against the rule of the aristocracy, on the contrary, they were proud of it and loved their queen.

'A soldier is a good soldier, but the officer is too ineffective. ’

Looking out the window at the militiamen lining up to receive uniforms and ammunition, Carl sighed

"Your Excellency, what do you think about the defense of the city? If the emperor invades the city, our soldiers and militia are not organized rigorously enough, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist the enemy's attack, right?" said a regular army officer

"Oh, is that so?" Karl asked rhetorically

"Yes, if the emperor ** enters the city, our defense line will not be able to stop them at all. So we ......" another officer chimed in

"But I don't think so!" Karl interrupted the officer's speech, glanced at the officers in the war room, and said:

"The enemy has superiority in heavy equipment, superiority in combat quality, and superiority in command, while we have no superiority except that we are basically equal in numbers with the enemy...... Everybody thinks so, right?" said the worried officers of Karti.

Listening to Karl's words, the officers nodded reluctantly.

"But you have forgotten that you have an advantage that the emperor ** does not have at all!"

Hearing the acting commander say that he had an advantage in addition to numbers, the officer felt that this was very fantastical, and he couldn't help but start talking to the people around him

"What advantages? What advantages do we have?"

"How is that possible?"

"yes, I really don't see any advantage in us. ”

Seeing that the officers had been discussing for a long time without coming up with a result, Karl couldn't help but be disappointed in the quality of these officers.

'Any officer who has been through the battle for a city does not know the superiority of the defenders?......' Forget it, it seems that I will say it. Looking at the immature faces of the officers in the command, Karl didn't even think of being angry with them.

"Our advantage is the geographical advantage!"

Stop the officers from continuing to talk to each other, Karl concluded

"Our army is mainly composed of citizens and militia who take the initiative to defend their hometown, their hometown has been attacked and invaded by the emperor, they hate the enemy army, and will fight hard to defend their hometown, this is human. Our militia are all citizens born and raised in Landobasa, and they are very familiar with every street and alley in Landobasa.

"Smack!"

As he spoke, Karl smiled and slapped a military map captured from Emperor ** on the table, pointing to the map of the city of Landobasa, which was only a few centimeters in size.

"In their eyes, Lando Bassa is just a small city the size of a walnut, just a bridge over the Reims River, that's all, to be honest, I have a lot of sympathy for those first-line officers and soldiers who attack us with this map, if our soldiers pass through the business area through the headquarters and come to the Reims Bridge to stop them, then we haven't even moved on the map of the officers behind them!"

"Hahaha~"

Listening to Karl's joke of laughing at the emperor's map, many officers laughed wittily.

This smile represents ease and confidence.

'Yes, the emperor doesn't know anything about our city, how can he compare to those of us who have lived in Lando Bassa for many years?

Hearing Carl's explanation, all the officers thought that this was the case, so those who were originally opposed to fighting the city defense war gradually supported Carl.

That's right, that's it. In order to cut off the transport hub in central Gallia and march south, the emperor had to cross the Reims River. However, due to the influence of the terrain along the river, the main forces of the Emperor, especially the chariots and logistics units, could not bypass the Lando Bassa and cross the Reims River, so the only option for the enemy, the Imperial Sixth Division, was ......

"Street fighting to capture Lando Barça!"

Although there are many inexperienced citizens, after the last counterattack and pursuit, more than half of the citizens have been trained, and these trained citizens will put on military uniforms, disguised as regular soldiers and volunteers, and fight to confuse the enemy, while the completely inexperienced citizens will also be reorganized into a general reserve, directly under the command of the headquarters.

The defenders of Landobasa, whether they are militia or regular army, know the city very well, and they can use the geography to play the emperor alive in the city, plus the enemy does not have enough artillery to threaten the defense of the city, so the enemy can only use infantry and combat vehicles to fill the big hole of Landobasa.

'The experience of Stalingrad has taught us that any unit that relies on armored forces and quick assaults is powerless against urban warfare and street fighting. Here, mechanized corps were almost useless, regular warfare gave way to irregular warfare, artillery gave way to grenades, heavy machine guns gave way to submachine guns, and the units that were fragmented and familiar with the terrain had the advantage that the Yuracian army of World War II relied on to hold off the Rhinelanders' attacks in the city.

The Galias have received military training since childhood, and their thinking is not rigid, and they know how to use their brains more suitable for street fighting than the rigid thinking of the Yuraceans, while most of the emperor's infantry are uneducated white dings, and when it comes to organizational discipline and fighting spirit, they are far worse than the Rhineland army in World War II! In addition, they do not have the superiority of artillery, nor the air force and numbers, and the equipment is not worse than that of the Rhineland in Stalingrad.

Finally, here - the Gallia Army also has a huge advantage that the former Eulasia Red Army did not have......

"Our rockets!"[[[CP|.] W:470|H:355|A:L|U:http://file2.qidian.com/chapters/201311/22/3024026635207602263330143578060.jpg]]]] Thanks to the general mobilization war system in Galia, Lando Barsa, as a central transportation hub and military stronghold, in addition to the ammunition and ammunition stored enough to arm tens of thousands of troops, although relative to the number of machine guns. There is a shortage of heavy quantities such as artillery tanks, but the quartermaster depot has the weapons that Karl is most interested in - anti-tank rocket launchers, and Galia's individual anti-tank rockets, a full 1,000 pieces!

You must know that this is a very sharp weapon in street fighting! Dealing with the Imperial chariots and the emperors hiding in the building and gathering together, if you hit accurately, you can destroy the enemy's firepower points and chariots with just one shot. In addition to this, there are grenades and Molotov cocktails plagiarized by Karl!

"All squadrons in the city are to be divided into teams of three, each with three liquefied Molotov cocktails, and each squadron with three rocket launchers, each of which is to be equipped with at least one rocket to strike at enemy fortifications and tanks. Each soldier brought me at least 5 grenades, and I'm going to make Lando Barça the graveyard of the emperor!"

Carl decided to use his terrain and home field advantage to turn every block and every house into a nightmare.

The herald quickly conveyed Karl's orders. Soldiers at the quartermaster post were busy distributing ammunition and weapons to the militia who came to collect them, and the Volunteers and the regular army were partially replenished. Piles of ammunition and boxes of grenades were distributed, and ammunition and grenades were pinned to the waist and arms of the soldiers. On the side of the road, some Molotov cocktails that had just been made at Carl's request were also loaded by the independent combat team.

Three hours later, the ammunition distribution was complete, the uniforms were distributed, and the units returned to their official defense areas.

"Report! The fixed-point detonating bomb in the city has been planted!"

"Report! The fortifications and barricades in the city have been built!"

"Report! Ammunition and uniforms have been distributed, and the troops in the city have begun to enter the intended defensive locations!"

"Report! The artillery information collection center has called, and all the artillery shooting yuan in the city has been marked!"

"Report! All units in the city's front-line defense area have entered combat positions and are ready to fight at any time!"

"Report! The second-line reserve in the city has entered the designated position and is waiting for further orders from the headquarters!"

Seeing that all the troops on the map had been in the positions planned with Lilia, Carl looked up and walked to the window north of the headquarters to look north.

"The curtain has been raised, and the dice have been rolled. Now, it's up to you guys to make a move!"
