December 3rd.

Mo Sin and Ling Ya have already completed all the written test subjects, and now some instructors are reviewing them.

Their sand table exercise also started the first one today, and the first one was what they talked about before, Hamson for the opponent's air battle!

In the purest air battle, both sides have already obtained the information of the army they are about to use. Air combat does not have too many requirements for the environment, the most important thing is to see what the weather conditions are at that time, sunny and cloudy days are the best air combat weather.

If it's a blizzard, a thunderstorm, a fog, or something like that, it's going to be a very tough battle for both sides.

......

Ink Sin and Zero Ya have begun their final preparations.

"Senior Hamson seems to have asked for the replacement of a small number of air cavalry units before the war, and it is a temporary dispatch before the war, which is an unknown factor. Should we also change a small number of troops and take certain precautions?" asked Ling Ya.

"Do you think he might change that type of troops? The maximum number of air cavalry temporarily dispatched before the battle should only be five hundred, right?"

"Well, and the number of air cavalry on both sides of us this time is three thousand, and the number of temporary dispatches is calculated on the basis of no more than 10%, and the maximum can only be dispatched to three hundred. And because it is a pure air battle, most of the air cavalry fighting on the ground can basically be excluded. Zero nodded.

"And what about the result?"

"There is a high probability that there are two hundred Iron Wing Air Cavalry, fifty Stream Cloud Sky Cavalry, and fifty Sbolo Air Cavalry. If he were to switch to the rest of the classes he was not good at commanding, he would no longer be considered as a potential threat. Zero Ya analyzed.

"Okay, then let's change it too. Ink Sin nodded.

As long as you can guess what the other party can call temporarily, then it is very convenient to be able to make a target.

Fighting under the same circumstances, Ink Sin and Zero Ya really didn't worry about anything, because they would always be one step ahead of their opponents!

Even if they can win the original disadvantaged start, what else do they have to fear?

"Instructor, we have applied for the temporary transfer of one hundred and fifty Qingfeng Air Cavalry, one hundred Barbarian Eagle Air Cavalry, and fifty Sbolo Air Cavalry, and replace them with the original two hundred Iron Wing Air Cavalry. "Ink Sin applied for a replacement.

The quantity of replacement can be unequal, but the difference between positive and negative shall not exceed about 30% of the quality or quantity of replacement.

This is considered in terms of the more realistic possible battle situation, as well as the mobility limits that the logistics and reserve armies can usually withstand, at least for the Rust Empire, which is a reasonable way to dispatch.

Naturally, Mo Sin didn't mind having an extra hundred air cavalry after dispatching.

......

The other side.

"Hamson, Ink Sin and Zero Ya have also applied for temporary scheduling, your transfer may have been perceived by them, but now according to the simulation of the actual combat situation, it is impossible to dispatch a second time if you have already dispatched once. "The instructor here also informed the news.

"Okay instructor, I see. Hamson nodded.

Then he also looked a little ugly, and it was obvious that the other party was able to follow the dispatch after knowing his dispatch, and he guessed what kind of troops he might have dispatched.

Air cavalry combat pays more attention to the domesticated Holy Pattern Beast mount, followed by the cavalry itself.

The Iron Wing Air Cavalry is good at air combat charges, and the Flowing Cloud Air Cavalry is good at concealing and disrupting by manipulating the clouds. The Sboro Air Cavalry is a relatively rare soldier with good air combat ability, a low-level Saint Pattern Master with flight ability, and a powerful air cavalry class that cooperates with the domesticated Saint Pattern Beast.

The Qingfeng Sky Cavalry that was exchanged by Ink Sin is a class of troops that are extremely fast and have good aggressiveness, but the disadvantage is that the ability to resist attacks is very weak. The Wild Eagle Air Cavalry is more special, it is strong and aggressive, and it can carry more weapons and auxiliary equipment in addition to soldiers.

The classic air combat coordination that can be formed is centered on the Wild Eagle Air Cavalry, the Qingfeng Air Cavalry is harassing around the battle, and the Sborlow Air Cavalry is responsible for point killing or high-intensity protection.

This is a combination that is completely unafraid of the onslaught of the Iron Wing Air Cavalry, even if there is a situation where the Flowing Cloud Sky Cavalry controls the cloud raid.

So.

As long as Zero Ya guessed correctly the type of air cavalry that Hamson temporarily dispatched, they had already gained a slight advantage.

And it was a great pity for Hamson that he really temporarily dispatched these three troops, but he exchanged the equal number of three hundred Qingfeng Sky Cavalry for one hundred and fifteen Iron Wing Air Cavalry, fifty Liuyun Sky Cavalry and one hundred Sborlow Air Cavalry!

Because the quality of the Sboro air cavalry is too high, if you want to exchange it for a hundred, you have to pay a heavier price.

......

The battle is about to begin.

In the Rust Imperial Military Academy, there are about 5,000 students of all kinds.

However, there are only more than 300 people in the real commander reserve who need to undergo the year-end assessment, and half of them who have achieved poor results have basically made plans. Some of them even took the initiative to give up the final sand table exercise, so there were only 213 trainees who actually needed to participate in the sand table exercise assessment.

Now.

Many of the academies who had already completed the written test and had nothing to do for the time being came to the viewing platform to wait for the battle to begin.

The three departments of military, political and service are all there.

"Eh, the one who is preparing for an air battle now is the Lansha Twin Star that your military department often talks about?

"I heard that so far, they have won thirteen consecutive victories, right? This is already the highest winning streak in our academy's sand table exercise, can they continue now?"

"I think it's possible, you look at the temporary deployment of air cavalry units between the two sides just announced, it is obvious that Mo Sin and Elibeli guessed in advance the troops that Hamson was going to transfer, and all the choices were targeted, and they really didn't give a chance at all. ”

"Is it so godly? The title of Dark Abyss Eye can really understand the opponent's thoughts?"

"The feeling is gone, Chakxi hadn't fought before when neither of them had conducted naval combat exercises, and now they had a pure air combat battle before. It is already a prerequisite for having combat experience, or under the same number of confrontations. ”

"I hope you don't lose too badly, the title of Lansha Twin Stars can be killed, but don't be another massacre. ”

"It should ...... Not really, right?"

......

With the discussion of the trainees, the sand table exercise began.

Decent weather - cloudy, windy.

It's just that the condition of the ground is a bit special, and it is not an ordinary plain or something, and it will not have any impact on air warfare at all.

This is a very special sandstone formation!

The sandstone landform is a landform dominated by straight edges and tall stone pillar forests formed by flowing water erosion, gravity collapse, weathering and other forces. There are many tall and stout stone pillars rising from the sky, and the tallest in this landform is more than 100 meters high.

In other words, in this landscape, as long as the height of the air battle drops, it will have a serious impact on both sides.

Extremely special environment for air combat.

......

"Sandstone landforms?" ...... Ink sin chuckled.

He and Ling Ya stood on the back of a wild eagle, followed by two green wind birds, their bodies completely fixed and the Holy Pattern Force remained stable.

"The whole army is flying at a low altitude! Abolish their Liuyun air cavalry!" Mo Sin directly ordered the whole army to lower its flight altitude.

......

Hamson's side.

His face looked a little ugly, and the ghost landscape was very unfriendly to him.

The precious Liuyun Sky Cavalry, which was specially mobilized, was directly abolished. You must know that the Flowing Cloud Sky Cavalry is domesticated by the Flowing Cloud Eagle that is difficult to catch, and the difficulty of domestication and breeding is also high, and the rarity is second only to the Sboro Sky Cavalry that requires the ability to fly.

"Instructor, isn't there such an important terrain in the pre-war information reports of both sides?" Hamson asked first.

"Your battle situation is set to clear the airspace of the two sides, and any terrain may be a combat location, isn't the large-scale map for you?" the instructor responded.

"But the sandstone landscape only occupies less than 5% of this area, and this probability is really ......," Hamson tried to retort, but eventually took the words back.

The battle itself is fraught with uncertainty.

Those who do not think well and try to bring good fortune to them usually do not end well.

Hamson can only say that in this regard, he is a mistake and unlucky.

"The whole army maintains the flight in the middle airspace, and the news has come from the Qingfeng Cavalry in front that the enemy is likely to be hidden in the sandstone landscape, so do not reduce the flight altitude in the undiscovered area!"

Hamson also gave the order.

Because there are more iron-winged air cavalry in his air cavalry formation, it is difficult to fight in the terrain below when the flexibility is insufficient. At the same time, there is also Liuyun Eagle, an air cavalry unit that is purely useless in this terrain, and basically gives up the idea of taking the initiative to fight below.

The operation he originally conceived was high-altitude or mid-level airspace, and low-altitude was not originally considered.

After all, under normal circumstances.

Knowing that it is a pure air battle, no one will consider the possibility of low-altitude combat, because once a low-altitude combat is carried out, it will also mean being interfered by ground factors. Whether it comes from the terrain or the enemy land forces that may be in ambush, etc., are important factors that should not be prioritized for low-altitude combat.

......

Hamson, too, looked ugly, standing on the back of the eagle and taking a closer look ahead.

I was thinking quickly in my heart.

I have to find a way to drag them out of this area, otherwise my initiative to apply for the dispatch of the Liuyun Rider and the Iron Wing Rider will be scrapped directly, and I don't need their targeting at all.

Originally, they wanted to use the high altitude to fight, but none of them were Saint Tattoo Masters with flying ability, so they should instinctively be afraid of the situation at high altitudes. At least the idea of influencing their psychology so that I can gain more advantages.

Because the terrain of less than 5% of the area has been resolved, I will not be reconciled!

Have to!

We must lure them out of the sandstone landscape, at least not so smoothly as they fight me in the terrain below, and guide them up to the sky!

As long as I get to the sky, I might still have a chance!

......

Hamson thought quickly inwardly.

But he overlooked an important premise, a very fatal problem for commanders.

That's faith.

In this battle, he has already subconsciously regarded Ink Sin and Lingya as invincible rivals, thus imagining himself as the weaker side. While this will lead to a frenzied search for opportunities to expand your advantage, it will also lead to more flaws.

Anxiety, lack of confidence, and even panic can occur.

Lack of confidence is a fatal problem for any commander.

And now......

Hamson has been in a situation of low confidence before he knows it.
