Section XXV The Baden War II
"It's not good, it's in an ambush!"
"Protect Archduke John and go first!"
Something happened to the Austrian army, and when John rushed to the battlefield to receive the results of the battle, a group of snipers who were almost combined with the dense forest suddenly opened fire, and for a time the Osa coalition army was in chaos.
Even Archduke John, who took the lead, was incredulous: "Hasn't the French army been completely annihilated? Why are there so many of them?"
Although the coalition forces are numerous, they are helpless in the face of the sniper version of the special forces built using the experience of modern warfare. Although these soldiers were small in number, under Ferguson's training, they all learned to use nature to hide themselves, and with the help of advanced weapons and accurate shooting, the coalition soldiers could not parry.
After nearly ten minutes of fighting, the coalition forces gradually turned from an advantage in firepower to a disadvantage in morale. With the Austrian soldiers unable to find a source of fire, and the sniper fire almost encircling the jungle, the illusion of being surrounded by a large force spread through the army.
In order to show that he took the crisis seriously, Ferguson took it personally. And his mission this time was nothing else, to find Archduke John and bring him alive to the garrison to Brion. Prior to this, he had already sent a request to Briand, and in view of the importance of this assault on the entire Baden situation, Brion decisively approved the operation.
As long as those are the Archduke John, the Austrians will surely pinch the palm of their hand.
(Captain, the Duke of Austria was found, and he was under that tree) A member of the team conveyed a message to Ferguson in the sign language of the special forces team from a tree.
At the beginning of the development of the sniper team, Brion wanted to improve the combat efficiency and concealment of the elite sniper team. In view of the anti-Japanese film "Snow Leopard" made in 2010, Briand specially created a set of sign language exclusive to the sniper team, so that he can not only communicate with the team members boldly during the battle, but also ensure that his position is not discovered.
Ferguson nodded, and slowly sneaked into the side of Archduke John, and the funny thing was that the descendant of the Austrian royal family abandoned his soldiers and hid alone behind a large tree when he saw the tide of the war was reversed.
Ferguson laughed and peed, isn't this a foreign version of covering his ears and stealing the bell? Did this genius think that he would not be discovered if he hid behind a tree?
"You...... Who are you?" and when Archduke John looked up, a short gun was already on his head.
The corners of Ferguson's mouth raised: "The dead still have to ask so much, if you dare to offend General Brion, you should be prepared to die." ”
"Click" As Ferguson's face sank, his Ferguson rifle was ready to fire, but at this time, there was obviously an unknown liquid dripping down the ground, and there was a commotion.
"Don't ...... Other...... Don't shoot. John swallowed and reluctantly said these words, and regretted that it was uncomfortable.
A few days ago, when the battle plan had just been formulated, John rushed to go to the battlefield, and Archduke Charles knew John's ability and would not let him go alive or dead. But what can be done, who made the queen mother favor him the most? Now it's okay, just going to the battlefield is really a life-threatening job! Really playing with his life!
Ferguson smiled contemptuously and put the gun away: "The fat pig has been found, retreat!"
"Yes!"
After a few final shots, the snipers quickly withdrew. And the Ossa coalition forces who remained in place thought it was a trap for the enemy, and still hid behind cover like a psychopath, not even knowing that their commander had been captured.
And the one who was most angry was Archduke John, so he gave himself a better code name! After all, he was also a member of the royal family, and his code name was actually called Fat Pig?!......
"Lord Duke, urgent battle report ahead!" At this time, in the Austrian headquarters in Bavaria, a lieutenant handed a piece of information to Archduke Charles, who was talking to Field Marshal Wirmzer. Although Archduke Charles's subordinates were all elites with a lot of city government, the face of this elite was full of fear.
"Report to the duke, the 10,000 Saxon troops in Etheim were all routed in the early morning of the 24th! The Saxon commander had fled, but his men were largely scattered, with a conservative estimate of more than 5,000 men lost, more than 3,000 missing, and almost all of his weapons and baggage. You see......"
"Shoot immediately!" said Archduke Charlie before the lieutenant could finish speaking, and spat out four terrible words.
Archduke Charles should also be regarded as a general who commands the three armies, and he has great talents. And his account is full of famous generals, and he is naturally handy in war. However, in his eyes, the most intolerable thing is failure! As long as it is commanded by his own subordinates, whether it is an officer of his own country or not, once he fails, he will be executed immediately!
"Don't you understand? What do I want him to do with this kind of waste?" Archduke Charles glanced at the trembling lieutenant: "If you lose 10,000 soldiers, you will lose it, and it will not be ours anyway." By the way, what's going on on Archduke John's side?"
"The 7,000 Allied troops of Osa have entered Baden as planned, but they can ...... But he was attacked halfway through. According to the soldiers who fled, the firepower was suspected to be the main force of the regular French army, and our army suffered fatal losses, while Archduke John was missing in the battle!"
"What, the main force?" said Archduke Charlie couldn't believe his ears, but he wasn't surprised.
Although Charles's younger brother was lost, it is still said that the current war situation is still in favor of the Austrian army, and the French will definitely not be able to move Archduke John in order to have enough capital. If the guess is correct, Archduke John must have been captured on the way to escape. And the most strange thing for him was that Briand's main force was facing the Saxon army on the 24th, but how could the main army appear on the way of Archduke John?
It would take him at least a day and a half to get to his brother's place, and how could there be another main force over there?
"Tell the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to send an envoy to put pressure on France! I'm sure it must have been France who treacherously sent troops to the aid of that French dog mongrel!" Archduke Charlie finally came to a conclusion after thinking about it, although it was a little far from reality.
However, if he knew that this was only a team of 200 snipers under Brion, then he would definitely vomit blood and die......
"General" Fat Pig "I have brought. Ferguson saluted Brion from inside the secret Guard headquarters.
"Captain Ferguson, are you alright. Are the soldiers' casualties serious?"
Brion is also a character who has watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, although he cares a lot about this Austrian trophy, but in order to win people's hearts, he still has the cheekiness to follow Liu Bei's example and cares about his subordinates first, and he almost threw away his fat son.
"I'm fine, this mission is going well, except for the Austrian soldiers who still have some combat effectiveness, the Savoy army is simply vulnerable. The casualties weren't huge, three of us were killed and two were wounded, but we had earned our money by killing hundreds of enemies!" Ferguson replied.
However, he had obviously fallen for Brion's ploy to win people's hearts, and he was still happy to be grateful and sympathetic to his subordinates. In fact, his boss Duke bullied him for not watching the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, of course, foreigners are innocent, and of course Chinese strategies don't understand.
Brion still carried forward his innate talent for acting, and after pretending to be sympathetic to Ferguson, he cut straight to the point and took off the black hood that was worn on Archduke John's head. In order to wake up the knocked out Grand Duke, Brion also specially asked the soldiers to splash cold water on his face.
"Hello, Archduke John of Austria. Brion looked at the royal duke with a smile as he held his back and looked at him.
However, in his smile, there was a chilling murderous aura.
"You...... You are ......" Archduke John shook his increasingly heavy head and began to identify the man carefully.
"The man you are crusading, Brion, Duke of Baden of Bourbon!"
"Cloth ...... Brion!"
Brion liked the fear of his prey before he died, and as the corners of his mouth flickered, a sharp short knife was drawn and pierced into his thigh.
"That's the price you pay!"
