At night, there was a dead silence under Chelyabinsk, and the afternoon bombardment seemed to be just an illusion, but the smoke in the air and the black craters left in the ground shattered the illusion.

The war has begun.

"I led 500 men to sneak into the city through the gap in the barbed wire fence and launch a surprise attack, as long as we can suppress the soldiers on duty and take the fortress, we can open up a relatively safe area, at that time, Onufri, Ravl, Makarov..."

In front of the sand table, Katerina read out the names of one high-ranking general after another, and she seemed to remember these people in her heart, and blurted out the names.

"You led the soldiers, covered the barbed wire with quilts, and climbed over the obstacles to support us. Don't think about dismantling the barbed wire, that's a waste of time, we only have one chance, the only one! ”

The senior generals standing on both sides of the sand table looked solemn, looked at Katerina without smiling, clenched the long knives at their waists one by one, and listened attentively to the combat deployment.

If they can't recapture Chelyabinsk at once, then when the enemy comes to his senses and rebuilds fortifications, the surprise attack tactics will not succeed a second time.

At that time, it can only be pushed hard by flesh and blood, which will inevitably cause great casualties.

In the surprise attack that was launched tonight, there was no cavalry, and the cavalry had to throw away their horses, climb over the barbed wire like the infantry, and the army would press on them.

"Your Highness, let me lead the team." Onufri said: "Your safety is too important for us to lose you. ”

Katerina glanced at him and said coldly: "There is no one who cannot be lost, as a commander, I should take the lead, it is my selfish intention not to let Edward make a move, it is for the sake of the overall situation, I have no reason to let others bear the consequences of this decision!" ”

The senior generals in the temporary command post were in awe, and they saw the shadow of Peter the Great in Katerina's body, as if it was not Katerina standing in front of them, but the figure of the prancing horse with a sword, which made all enemies fearful.

The soldiers didn't need to think about anything, just follow the figure in front of them.

"Onufri, Raffl, you two don't participate in tonight's battle, each lead 5,000 cavalry, and go to the border near the guard."

"Why?!"

Onufri and Ravl's faces changed, didn't they look down on them if they didn't let them go to war?

"Father Mavi is right, at all times, we must be vigilant against the enemy behind us, and if someone sneaks up on us from behind during the attack on Chelyabinsk, the situation will be dangerous, so we need a reserve army."

"Then that and that...."Onupli stammered a little excitedly: "Then why don't you let Makarov go?" He is the general of the infantry corps, and such an important task should be entrusted to him! ”

"Onufuri, you bastard!" Makarov was furious: "What are you doing with the task that Your Highness gave you?!" ”

"I'm here for your safety!"

"Fart!"

"Stop arguing!" Katerina scolded: "The infantry is too slow, the mobility is too low, the alert task can only be handed over to the cavalry, Onufri, Ravl, if the enemy wants to bypass the border line and launch a sneak attack, I want you to block it for an hour after sending someone to report the news, understand?" ”

“..... I see. Onufri and Ralph replied indignantly.

"Let's get ready, attack at 2 a.m.!"

"Yes!"

After the senior generals left the temporary command post, Edward, who was leaning in the corner to observe, asked aloud: "Why do you want to lead the team yourself?" Do you think that with my protection, it is foolproof? ”

"That's just one of the reasons."

Katerina took a sip of the cold black tea, and said in a surging voice: "Onufri, Ravl, and Makarov are all my father's old subordinates, in their eyes, I am just a junior, let a junior lead these battle-hardened generals, even if you don't say it on your face, you will have some guilt in your heart." ”

"Most of them follow me because of my father's legacy, and it can be said that they are not following me, but my father's ghost."

"In order to consider it later, I must show enough qualifications to prove myself to them, so that they can obey me convincingly and inherit the treasure left to me by my father."

Drinking tea, Katerina's face was expressionless: "I can't lose, I can't lose a single game until I have established enough prestige, this is the challenge I face, the king is not so easy to be." ”

"The king is not so easy to be a king.... Interesting. ”

Chewing on these words, Edward smiled silently, "I will follow Father Mavi's orders to keep you safe. ”

As the night wore on, Chelyabinsk was quiet, and the Second Army stationed there was still led by the Marquis James, who had become cautious after the last defeat.

Even in bad weather, he ordered the soldiers to be divided into three shifts, ensuring that when one shift rested, the other two shifts were on patrol.

Not only that, but even the Marquis James himself was in good spirits, especially after the afternoon bombardment, he insisted on coffee and black tea until now, and did not sleep at all.

This time, he did everything he could, laying three fortifications around Chelyabinsk, dividing the city into three zones: outer, middle, and inner, with the outer zone on guard and firing flares every twenty minutes, the central zone being where the soldiers were stationed, and the inner zone being the area where his guards and priests were located.

This arrangement had a clever effect, even if the enemy launched a surprise attack, it would not immediately meet the soldiers of the Central District, leaving plenty of time for the Marquis of James to command, and the intricate city streets could also prevent the cavalry from charging and killing.

The soldier hiding in the house can use the guns in his hands to shoot at the enemy continuously, and if the enemy wants to take Chelyabinsk, he must advance street by street, house by house ....

This is also known as street fighting.

Not only that, but the Marquis James also placed countless artillery pieces at various major crossings in the city, as long as the enemy dared to show his head, it was a cannonball, and he didn't believe that he couldn't repel the enemy!

"I'm going to have to be ashamed!" The Marquis of James said indignantly.

At 1:30 a.m., Katerina, who was resting on the bed, opened her eyes and sat up.

She took a sip of water, slowly put on her military uniform, sat down in her chair and waited quietly, and just after 2 o'clock she stood up, picked up the black cloak hanging from the shelf, and strode out of the room.

Dark clouds obscured the bright moon, and in the dimly lit camp, 500 soldiers in black cloaks were waiting for them, many of them with white stubble faintly visible on their faces, they were all veterans, with large and small scars on their bodies, which were the marks left by their exploits.

Katerina didn't need to say anything to feel the morale of the veterans' silence, she put on a black cloak to cover her figure, picked up a SA-60 repeater rifle, checked the firearms, and looked at the soldiers in front of her.

"You are all warriors who have followed my father, and your bravery is so brave that you must fear even bullets! My father has said more than once that without you, he would not be where he is today, and you are his pride! ”

Katerina swept the soldiers' faces and said in a deep voice: "Although my father is dead, his will lives on in our hearts!" Prove to the world tonight that you are strong, that of my father, of our strength! Follow me and retake Chelyabinsk! Let the light shine on the Romanovs! Ulla! ”

"Ulla!

！ ”

"Let's go! Target Chelyabinsk! ”
