Chapter 16 Subverting Geography
The headquarters of the 4th Division is a special telegraph and telecommunications monitoring group
“DiesistBereichzwanzigPositionsechsFeuer,wiegut!”
Direct communications of unknown significance were again monitored by the telecommunications monitoring team of the 4th Division.
The telegraph listening group of the 4th Division is one of the achievements of the military-technical innovation of the Ossaka Division.
Front-line divisions directly listen to the telephone and telegraph communications of hostile radio stations to technically support enemy operations - another new concept combat unit launched by the active-minded Ossakas,
The first independent intelligence unit to be put into operation on the front line, and the first division of the empire.
The first time he went into battle was not on the front with the sworn enemy Federation, but in such an inconspicuous place as the Galia front.
“ArtillerieklarPositionsechsFeueralsgut.”
However, the first appearance of this technical unit, which created a new era of radio monitoring and anti-monitoring, was stifled by the steely Rhinelander language.
"Sir, the enemy's are starting direct radio talk again. ”
The listener reported with headphones on
"How's it going?
At this moment, the division commander Laudrov, who was supposed to rest in the lounge, came.
"How's the situation? Eyes and ears of our Fourth Division, have you brought us any useful news?"
Unlike the commanders of the Brain Pumping Division, who believed in iron and blood, Laudrov believed that comprehensive information and unimpeded command were the keys to victory.
The side that gains information superiority on the battlefield always gains the upper hand in war.
So in his heart, he took this brand-new unit very seriously, not at all like a fifty-year-old rigid veteran. It's more like a young man who is very quick to accept new things.
"We're sorry, but we don't understand the language of the other party, even though we used direct radio communication. ”
Seeing the division commander looking at his own listening personnel with a look of expectation, the monitoring team leader's face was a little unbearable.
"Unfamiliar language?"
Laudrov asked, surprised
"Yes, not any language on the continent, a language we have never heard of. ”
Deputy Chief of Staff Yayikov also explained
He is an expert on Continental languages and is fluent in various languages, but says he has never heard of them.
“DiesistBereichzwanzig......”
Listening to your voice coming from the external speaker, Laudrov sighed
"It sounds like steel is talking. ”
That's what others have to say about the language.
"So, what do we do now?"
Since the division commander is no longer going to continue to pretend to be asleep. Then I guess there must be an idea.
So the other lieutenants of the division also began to get serious.
"What should we do? The troops of the Sixth Division, with nearly 10,000 troops, are fighting like this with seven or eight thousand militiamen in the city of Landopa, what else can we do? Of course, we have to reach out and pull them at the right time. ”
While talking to his deputies, the division commander walked to the operational command room next door.
"Anyway, our customers just bought so many things from us, and I always feel a little embarrassed. ”
Lying on the detailed map of the city's defenses that their division had obtained from federal channels, Laudrov pondered.
"What do you think is the main reason why the 6th Division's offensive was blocked?"
The division commander looked at the map and watched as the staff officers fiddled with the data from the radio communications of the Sixth Division on the sand table that had just been made in front of the table, and asked them
"Let's start the analysis from the time when the attack loses in the evening. ”
“...... Because of the failure of the previous attacks, the spirit of the Sixth Division was greatly weakened, which affected the morale of the soldiers and the combat determination of the commanders. On the contrary, the morale of the Galia soldiers was greatly enhanced. ”
"The front-line commander of the 4th Division did not have such a detailed map as ours, and he did not know the situation in the city, and was blocked by the defensive line constructed by the Gallian Army composed of locals. ”
"The Gallia Army has accumulated a certain amount of experience in fighting the Sixth Division of the Reich after several battles, and has begun to gradually transform from ordinary militia to soldiers. ”
"The artillery attacks of the Gallia Army were very well placed, and each time the light artillery, which was inferior in numbers, was used to deal a heavy blow to the troops of the Sixth Division, which had just begun in the city. ”
............
The operational planners of the Fourth Division expressed their opinions and expressed their opinions, and analyzed the superiority of the Gallian Army and the shortcomings of the Sixth Division to the fullest
"All said and done?"
Looking at the smartest and most energetic military men in front of him, Laudrov nodded in his heart.
'Well analyzed, good boys, and soon you will be able to carry the girders of our Ossaka Division. ’
"But you've forgotten the most important one. ”
But sure enough, the experience and intuition are still a little lacking. ’
Rather profoundly, Laudev said as he looked at the military map with the Union logo erased
"This time the commander of the Galia Army is extraordinary, they have seen through the 6th Division and us from the very beginning!"
Looking at these young staff officers in front of him, Laudrov burst out his thoughts
"What?!"
"The other party has seen us through?"
"This ...... How is this possible?"
Laudrov was once again very relieved to see these children speaking in front of him with a view that was completely different from that of his own division commander.
'This is the lads of Ossaka, who will not give up their opinions easily, even in the face of authority, we lads of Ossakask!'
Usually in other divisions, when the division commander has finished speaking, the staff officers rarely say anything more. And here these inexperienced raw melons and eggs still dare to question, only the Ossakas, only they dare to do this in front of their majestic superiors.
Of course, only the deliberately conniving Fourth Division allowed them to do this.
"Seeing that one of our fully manned special-grade divisions was deployed on the other side of the river, but there was no movement, and the vast majority of the troops and the Sixth Division were still concentrated in the city, which shows that the other side understood from the beginning that we would not take the initiative to attack, but just a group of spectators. This kind of thing ......"
As he spoke, he looked meaningfully at a group of young people
"With this understanding of us, is this god helping the Garia, or is it fighting against the expeditionary force?"
At this point, these staff officers underground have already understood what the division commander means, and they can know how confidential the intelligence of the fourth division is.
"That'...... Division commander, are we still going to make peace?"
When I think of the 'above' struggle that this war may involve, I will make a mistake.
After all, that's a 'top' thing, and the big god fights and the little ghost should stand aside.
But...... Sure enough, these children are still a little lacking in courage. ’
Looking at these things that wilted as soon as he heard that they might involve 'above', Laudrov couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.
"But as friendly troops, it is also appropriate for us to help our comrades in front. ”
But Laudev hates this feeling more than anything else, the feeling of being calculated and toyed with in applause.
'When will someone be able to play with us Ossakas?'
"Smack!"
Thinking about it, the fire in his stomach came up, and then he slapped it on the table.
"Order the artillery unit to shell the area controlled by the Gallian Army in the city!"
Laudrov made a decision
"However, Your Excellency the division commander, the city is now intertwined with enemy and enemy, so it is easy to ...... the shelling."
"What are you afraid of? The Sixth Division has been tasked with taking Landobaca by tomorrow afternoon, otherwise...... They all know what will happen to them. ”
Yes, now it is not as good as it was then, at this time it is impossible to take Landobasa, and only one of the top and bottom of the Sixth Division is dead.
For incapable tools, Maximilia, a cold-blooded guy, will never be soft.
"I'll give you a question, who has the greater advantage over the native Galian Army and the Imperial Field Army in urban warfare?"
"Of course, it's the Gallian army, which has a geographical advantage. ”
Occupying fortifications, terrain, environment and home field advantage, compared with the 6th Division, which was accustomed to fighting field battles on the Union front for a long time, Gallia's geographical advantage was self-evident.
"That's right, then, what about the artillery battle?"
“?!”
The division commander woke up a group of young staff officers with a word
"Recruits are afraid of artillery, veterans are afraid of machine guns. The veterans of the 6th Division are overwhelmed by machine guns in the city, so well, let's give a big gift to the new recruits of Galia
————Ossakask to build a 150-mm heavy field plus howitzer!"
As he spoke, Laudrov threw his hand on the table.
"We may not be able to change the time and people, nor can we change the final result, so let's change the location of our artillery. Let the city that is most familiar to the people of Galia become the hell of artillery fire that the 6th Division is most familiar with!"
