Section 20 Exercise 1

"Abandon Command?" Pishgru's sharp, narrow jaw nearly fell to the ground.

Since ancient times, military operations have been centered on the command headquarters, so as to issue orders and mobilize the army. And this is exactly the case with the European army at this time, the command is the core of the army, and if there is no command, the army will be in a state of difficulty in moving an inch. When a normal war breaks out, once the command is terminated, the war is basically over.

"What are you talking about! Give up the command? You say this!" a brigade commander of the 2nd Division immediately stood up and objected.

Brion didn't pay attention to this little person, but coldly spit out a few words: "If your second division doesn't want to cooperate, then get out of me!"

"Major General Brion, please pay attention to your words!" General Simon, the commander of the Second Division, let out a low voice of dissatisfaction.

This major general is about forty years old, has a very rich military resume, and has followed General Jurdang to fight the Rhine, and has made countless military achievements. He was able to sit firmly as the commander of the second division mainly because of his strong sense of honor and concern for his subordinates, which made him loved by the soldiers and followed and supported him to the death.

Because of this, seeing your dog being bullied, how can there be any reason not to help?

"General Jurdang has been in a hundred battles, how can you say such shameless words. Simon glanced at the officers of the Brion faction with those eagle-like eyes: "If you are a soldier, you should have an honest battle with the enemy on the battlefield, especially when you meet a famous general like General Jurdan!"

"Don't you think it's more important to save the lives of soldiers?" Brion sneered, "How much good can you gain by being reckless on the battlefield?"

"Then let's go it alone!" Simon snorted and stood up, looking at the helpless Pishkru and the smug Brion with disdain: "There is an old Chinese saying, different ways of the road, don't conspire with each other!

With that, all the officers of the 2nd Division followed Simon out of the headquarters, leaving only Pishglu and Brion and other officers.

"A bunch of idiots!" Brion sighed regretfully behind his back......

In the early morning of the 21st, the northern and southern armies were already ready, and at the same time, the senior officers of the military department and the Minister of Justice Mopu also rushed to the exercise site one after another.

On the morning of that day, the fog had just cleared and the exercise had officially begun!

Because it is a military exercise, all the armies use empty cartridges, although the effect is somewhat bad, but it can still reflect the fierceness of the simulated war. As for the artillery, it is at most to bomb a fixed area, and then the referee will judge the casualties of both sides on this basis, so the artillery is still not very useful in the exercise.

As the exercise began, the commanders of both sides began to exchange strategies, and Jourdam soon showed his prowess for war.

At nine o'clock on the morning of the 19th, Brion immediately gave the order to lead the 1st Division to withdraw from Lunneville, and because the whole army was driving bicycles, the speed of the march was almost three times that of the infantry, so that even the referee and Jourdan did not know the trace of the 1st Division. General Simon of the 2nd Division issued an order to the contrary, ordering the whole army of 30,000 men to begin to build fortifications and prepare to defend Lunneville.

Mopu looked at the sand table: "Pishglu, what's the matter with this descendant of yours? Could it be that he is an immortal, why did his troops disappear from the battlefield?"

Even Marshal Philip, who had always admired Brion, wondered: "This kid is very ghostly, but my scouts can't find their whereabouts, how fast they must move." Could they not have flown away?"

While smiling at these royal officials, Pishglu was also secretly worried about the battle that could be won. In his opinion, according to General Jourdan's martial arts, Brion could be his opponent at all. Moreover, the southern army originally had few soldiers, and as soon as the two divisions were dispersed, they would be easily broken by the northern army one by one. Now, Simon's 2nd Division is again fully engaged in fighting the main force of the Northern Army, and the end must be to hit the stone with an egg.

Under the suspicion of everyone, the war exercises continued, and the referees also reported the casualties of the two armies one after another.

"The 2nd Division of the Southern Army and the 2nd Division of the Northern Army are still facing each other, and the two sides are engaged in an artillery battle. The referee of the exercise looked at the battle report sent from the front: "The southern army has lost 371 people, and the northern army has lost 124 people. ”

"An artillery regiment of the Northern Army made a detour back to the rear of the Southern Army and carried out a fierce bombardment, the Southern Army suffered more than 400 casualties, the dead are still increasing, and the Southern Army began to be chaotic!"

This era is like this, and at the beginning of the game, the opponent was completely stunned by the heavy bombardment of artillery. The artillery battle between the two sides lasted for about an hour, and at 10:40 a.m., the bombardment of the two armies was completely over, and the casualties of the southern army were actually three times that of the northern army.

"The four divisions of the Northern Army had more than 50,000 people, and the second division was surrounded, and Simon's division could not break out of the encirclement. ”

Sure enough, everything went according to Brion's expectations. Although Simon's second division was not yet defeated in combat, it was clearly victorious. Jurdang's 50,000 men had already surrounded his garrison, and there was no chance of survival unless the second division could get away with it.

And then the referee's voice made the group of senior generals feel the power of Jurdang: "The second division of the Southern Army began to break through in the direction of Verdun, and the Northern Army added another division of reinforcements, and at present, the Southern Army has lost more than 5,000 people, and the Northern Army has begun to shrink the encirclement network. ”

As the fighting intensified in front, the exercise referee continued to speak: "The strength of the last division of the Northern Army has begun to move in the direction of Lunneville, the Southern Army has lost 12,000 men so far, and most of the second division has broken through the encirclement and began to move towards Verdun. The remaining remnants continued to resist the attack of the Northern Army as the queen of the palace. ”

At this time, no one cared about the life and death of the second division of cannon fodder, but the mysterious disappearance of the first division attracted everyone's attention.

After a while, many high-ranking generals couldn't help but speak up about this strange war case, and General Aureno was even more direct: "What's the matter? The battlefield is so big, can these 30,000 soldiers and horses still rise to the sky? I think they are so frightened that they are hiding!"

"But where can they hide? Everywhere there are plains. ”

Time passed minute by minute, and at 1:50 p.m., a new battle report finally came, and this battle report suddenly made everyone's faces change greatly: "The remnants of the Second Division of the Southern Army, more than 13,000 people, were all annihilated. The 20,000 men who attacked Lunneville were also besieged at the same time, and now all of them have been annihilated. ”

"What's going on?" said Mopp, looking horrified at the battle on the sandbox.

"How can a 20,000-strong re-organization be annihilated in an instant?" Marshal Philip also did not believe his ears.

But this was the case, when all 70,000 men of the Northern Army were besieged by the Second Division, the First Division led by Brion appeared like a ghost. And just as the reorganized division arrived in the city of Lunneville, the 1st Division launched an ambush in an instant, and the Northern army was powerless to parry, and fell under the power of the Ferguson rifle.

"Where is the position of the 1st Division now?" asked Marshal Philip.

"They are missing again. ”......

The word count is too small, so update another chapter.
