"...I am the temporary commander Lu Ping'an. Our soldiers have just achieved a huge victory..."
"... After shooting down Sky Knight 147, the Os people should have lost most of their reconnaissance air knights. For all the warriors who are still fighting freely, your safety will be greatly improved..."
.”
"....We have successfully destroyed a large number of their vehicles, especially the artillery-carrying vehicles that pose the greatest threat. We have confirmed that more than 60 of them have been destroyed. There should not be many bases outside their perimeter. There is no need to worry about them dispatching heavy firepower to pursue them.
Hunting you..."
"...I don't expect you to be able to support me, but don't you have any grievances? Don't you want revenge? The outer bases of the Ossians should all be in a state of lack of security now...
..."
"... Of course, this is for us, destroying their logistics and backup can effectively help our front, but this is also for you. Everyone knows that if we are finished, the next one will be hunted.
You guys..."
".....help yourself...."
Lu Pingan put down the phone and took a sip of water.
He was still just sitting here silently, but at this time, no one could ignore him.
Since the battle, he has just done whatever he wants without discussing it with anyone else... The radio network is in his hands, and there is no need to discuss it.
But every move he made seemed to have been anticipated and calculated, and it actually changed the situation of the battle.
"...Report, we received a call back, someone said they would attack the Osman camp, but they need us to provide coordinates and intelligence..."
"Respond to them, use the public frequency directly, tell us all the bases of the Ossians we know, and let the Ossians be vigilant on their own..."
Lu Ping'an has never thought that radio networks have so-called security, and he doesn't have high expectations for the security of private and encrypted channels.
Even, in a sense, this is for the Os people. As long as they are willing to transfer their frontline combat power back to defend the base, the pressure on their side will be reduced.
They don't move? That doesn't matter, but what will the logistics personnel at the bases behind think? Considering the reality that they may be attacked on the way to support, will their enthusiasm for supporting and sending logistics be affected?
This is a clear conspiracy, and it is also what Lu Pingan calculated from the beginning.
He knew that there were still people from the East who were afraid of war...it was impossible for them to come, and most of them would even voluntarily leave any battle.
But now, their mere existence can distract the attention and strength of the Ossians, which is enough.
"...Have a safe road, will many people really attack the Osman base?"
Wang Xier was a little hesitant. She actually looked down upon those cowards who were "fearful of war".
In their cultural system, people who don't even dare to fight for their own survival have no need to live.
"Yes, I believe in their (desire to survive)... No one is stupid. If we lose, there will be nothing. As long as the danger is not great, they will do something.
"
Those who left/were unwilling to come should have dispersed into small groups in order to avoid the attention of the Os people... But this made it even harder for the Os people to defend themselves.
When the positions of prey and hunter are reversed... no, just discovering the possibility of this "role reversal", the hunter will easily become suspicious and fall into a dilemma.
Regardless of whether they actively search for Dongguo people around the base or reduce the intensity of support, the Dongguo people on the main battlefield have made a profit.
"...Contact those who are powerful through the encrypted channel, persuade them to help attack the Aussie supply convoy, and then give them the locations of several key bases..."
If you bet on both sides, neither side will lose. Lu Ping'an only said a few words, which put a lot of pressure on the Os people.
The command room was in order, and a group of "elders" had unknowingly gathered around where Lu Ping'an was sitting.
Lu Ping An, who has been "good at making claims" time and time again and achieved good results every time, has taken command power into his hands through actions.
Victory is always the best behavior to build prestige.
Lu Ping'an thought about it, drinking tea and reading a book, as if he was not in a hurry.
In fact, everything he can do has been done.
".....Don't we do something now?"
"The more you do, the more mistakes you make. Let the bullets fly for a while."
Lu Ping'an was very open-minded. In fact, he didn't issue any forced orders along the way.
But Major Qian Guozhong, who had just returned, was a little anxious. He felt that such important combat time should not be wasted. He always felt that something should be done.
As he said that, he wanted to stand up and at least let his own people serve as the supervising team and go down to check.
But at this moment, he was stopped by Lu Ping'an.
"...We are not an army, we are just a group of scattered teams, stragglers composed of individuals. Passwords and orders will only arouse resentment, and the supervising team will arouse more hostility and vigilance...
"
Lu Ping'an saw clearly that from the beginning, he was not "leading" this war by commanding the legion.
Yes, it is guidance rather than command. There may be someone in the Ossians who can comprehensively dispatch all the troops, but there is absolutely no one on their side who can do it.
At this moment, Lu Ping'an thought again of the Battle of Shilong, the poor battlefield commander who had no choice but to rush forward and shouted "It's okay, I can handle it".
Perhaps, at that moment, he could only pray and pray that his desperate efforts would make the people behind him willing to follow.
"...Everyone stays here to survive. They will evaluate their own safety every time they take action. If you want them to do their best, you must create an environment that adapts to their needs. You want them to leave the safe area and take the initiative
Attacking the Aussies? Maybe we can do it reluctantly, but we have to be prepared for the possibility of a rout. Once it happens, it is absolutely unacceptable, and it is equivalent to declaring our complete defeat..."
From the very beginning, Lu Ping An’s position was right.
Directly commanding and dispatching a full-scale war? I have neither the authority nor the ability, nor the environment.
He can only guide the general trend and strive for an environment that is most suitable for him, so that everyone can spontaneously fight for their own survival.
"...Don't worry, you see, they are all in this camp now, and they can't escape. As long as the Os people dare to come up, both sides will inevitably bleed...Ahem, our people
He will show the bravery and fighting skills that a Dongguo person should have."
The battlefield developed to this point because it was Lu Ping'an's plan.
This is a clear invitation to surrender. On my side, there is an additional "burning cauldron"... At the moment when both sides can no longer accept prisoners, and everyone's escape route is cut off, they will naturally fight to the end.
A warrior for a moment.
He cannot order everyone, but he can make everyone survive for himself and fight under the conditions he desires.
"......street fighting?"
"Well, you can also say it's trench warfare."
"No wonder you said from the beginning that you would knock out the artillery and air force at any cost." Major Qian suddenly understood.
He knew that there was a follow-up plan. If the Os people responded quickly, the elites on Lu Pingan's side would forcefully attack the artillery position at all costs, and Lu Pingan himself was ready to take the field himself.
"If they were here, trench warfare would be a joke..." Lu Ping'an smiled. World War II was also due to the development of bombing and artillery, so the trench and barbed wire tactics of World War I gradually lost their deterrence.
At this time, Lu Pingan was not only talking to Major Qian, but also to other people in the headquarters.
He needs to unify his thoughts... That kind of wise man who plans alone often only exists in legends. If you want the headquarters' strategy to be implemented more accurately, you need more understanders, supporters, and executors.
.
"...from the beginning, weren't you optimistic about the field battle?"
"Nonsense, if we win the field battle, we won't be forced into this corner."
"Our people are stronger, individual strength..."
"Compared with the Ossian mercenaries, our organization is even worse. Compared with the professional soldiers of the Security Department, we are just a group of stragglers who will break up at the first touch."
Putting everyone into this "jedi" is tantamount to giving up the initiative in the war.
Major Qian thought about it and understood.
It's not that he doesn't understand, it's that he has been in the army for a long time and is used to giving orders and not being afraid of sacrifice. He really didn't expect how low the lower limit of those stragglers is.
If you really leave the bunker and have a head-on confrontation, a large number of deserters will probably appear on your side immediately.
The morale built up in order to survive will dissipate faster when their lives are threatened... Even if they clearly know that it is chronic death, only the first deserter appears, thinking "Why can't I
"Escape" they will quickly complete the rout.
This is not because the explorers of the Dongguo people are not strong or brave enough, but because they are civilians who came here to make a fortune and find a job. It is already difficult to force them to participate in the war.
Then, in order for them to maximize their combat effectiveness, the only way is to create an environment where they have no escape route and can only survive by working hard.
Major Qian looked at the sand table. The continuous mountain road had been built into a real-life trench maze, dotted with sacred bone bunkers one after another.
After knocking out the long-range firepower and air force, if you want to conquer this fortress, you can only break through these mazes head-on.
And under every bunker, there were professionals.
"...Many people will die."
"Huh, does it sound like we won't die more if we use other methods? As long as the battle line collapses, everyone will be doomed."
Lu Pingan smiled and looked around.
"Now, we have no retreat and no other options... If we win, everyone lives, if we lose, everyone dies."
At this moment, everyone looked at Lu Ping An with more respect and fear hidden in their eyes.
He has been waiting for the cruelest war of attrition and flesh-and-blood millstone from the very beginning.
He waited for the Aussies to rush up the mountain helplessly, and then fought every inch and every step.
He was waiting for death and wailing, waiting for the trenches in the mountains to be filled with corpses...
Among all the options, Lu Ping'an chose the most passive one of "doing nothing" and "waiting for the Aussies to attack", which was the most cruel and effective choice.
"You just know? Oh, from the moment we choose frontal combat, this is inevitable. Do you still expect those guys to take the initiative to walk out of the trenches?" Some people seemed to have seen through everything, but did not intend to say anything.
"The Black Warrior is really ruthless..." Someone muttered, and then began to sort out the information.
"...But this is the strategy with the highest winning rate and the most survivors." Someone could only sigh helplessly and go to arrange logistics.
"Isn't this great? Let's see if the Os people are ruthless, or we are ruthless enough! When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins!" Someone was laughing loudly, and then walked out.
