Chapter two hundred and twentieth war again

Chapter 220 The war resumes

At around 11 o'clock in the evening, the Guards Corps camp near Amis City.

About thirty meters away from the command tent, there is a row of very ordinary camping tents. No one would have thought that Prince Hansback, the first successor to the throne of the Kingdom of Overas, lived in such a simple tent.

At the same time, this camping tent is also the private office of His Royal Highness.

Prince Hansback has not rested yet. He is standing in front of a table and looking at a musket placed on it. It is the precise aim of the new equipment of the soldiers of the Principality of Rimodra that was just delivered by the ranger camp this afternoon.

Shooting musket.

"Captain Scree, what did Master Crirado say?" the eldest prince asked.

A captain officer standing next to him stood at attention and replied: "Master Crirado believes that this is a product of the Uola Musket Manufacturing Factory in the Kingdom of Sidings. It is an imitation of our Kingdom's Obash Type III standard matchlock gun and is used for precise aiming.

Shooting. For well-known reasons, they lag far behind our kingdom in terms of musket performance. Therefore, compared with the Obash Type III standard matchlock gun, this gun only has half the performance in terms of accuracy and continuous shooting. But if

If they equip a large number of these imitation muskets, they may be able to use the cover of defense facilities to cause heavy casualties to our soldiers when our kingdom's army launches an attack..."

If Claude could hear what Captain Skree said, then he would definitely lament that Master Crirado had the same views as him, and the hero saw the same thing.

Prince Hansback nodded and started to circle around the tent with his chin in his hand. Everyone present stood still and made no sound. As the accompanying officers of the prince, they all knew that the prince was at this moment.

While he was thinking, what he was most afraid of was that some sound would disturb the eldest prince's thoughts.

After a while, the eldest prince stopped and said quietly and clearly: "It seems that we have to launch an attack in advance. We can no longer proceed according to the original plan. In this way, we may be able to catch the enemy by surprise. Anyway, all we have is

The legions have been arranged in place, and the Griffin Legion has also hidden its whereabouts, put on the uniforms of the second-line legion and arrived here. Perhaps the generals of the Nasseri Kingdom never thought that we would set up for them in the Principality of Sidings.

A trap was set..."

The eldest prince stopped talking to himself, walked to the table with the musket again, picked up the musket and tested its weight: "Who captured this gun?" |

"It was a sergeant named Claude. He led a team to perform an ambush mission and eliminated a small team of scouts from the Principality of Karnas. Then they were attacked by a small team of soldiers from the Principality of Mordra. They carried out a

Counterattacked, eliminated nine enemies, captured this musket, and suffered more than half of their own casualties..."

"Claude? This name sounds familiar. Where have you heard it?" The eldest prince frowned, thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Go and get Lieutenant Colonel Roesler from the ranger camp, no, get Lieutenant Lieutenant."

Recruit Captain K for me."

Captain Leedfunk is the officer in charge of logistics in the Ranger Battalion, and he is also a nail buried in the Ranger Battalion by the Grand Prince. His duty is not to interfere with Lieutenant Colonel Ross's daily affairs in managing the Ranger Battalion, but to guide the people in the Ranger Battalion.

Everything that happened was recorded and handed over to the eldest prince, so that the eldest prince could look at this experimental combat unit from the perspective of a bystander and draw the final conclusion.

More than an hour later, the eldest prince, who had listened to Captain Lederfonk's report, had already remembered who Claude was: "You mean, this sergeant named Claude has a very bad relationship with Rosler, and

Rosler was very afraid of him, but there was nothing he could do about him. At the same time, Rosler had the intention of framing him and killing him, and often ordered him to perform some very difficult tasks, but this sergeant named Claude could do it very well every time.

Completed the task perfectly?"

"Yes, Your Highness the Prince." Captain Leedfonk replied: "In fact, more than one-third of the soldiers in the ranger camp are very convinced of this Claude and are willing to follow him on an ambush mission. And we, the lieutenant-level officers, privately

During the discussion, everyone thought that some of his suggestions were reasonable. However, Lieutenant Colonel Rosler was very resistant and refused to adopt them. We all did not understand why Lieutenant Colonel Rosler wanted to suppress Claude, and he was not even willing to report his military exploits.

I once recorded it and found that Chief Claude has obtained nearly seventy enemy identity plates. Although he always leads a small team to perform missions, no one denies that he has killed the most enemies in the ranger camp.

Shooter. But Lieutenant Colonel Rosler refused to acknowledge his military exploits, and allocated the identity plates he received to the soldiers who accompanied him every time. In fact, based on Claude's military exploits, he should have been promoted to second lieutenant..."

"Then do you think Lieutenant Colonel Rosler's approach is right or wrong?" the eldest prince asked with interest.

Captain Leedfunk shook his head: "I don't know, Your Highness the Prince, you asked me to go to the ranger camp, and you only asked me to bring a pair of eyes and ears, but not a mouth. So I will only tell what I see and

I report back to you what I heard, not comment.”

The eldest prince laughed dumbly: "You did a good job, I am very satisfied. In fact, I gave Lieutenant Colonel Rosler the responsibility for this ranger camp because of his loyalty and his uncompromising dedication to my orders and the tasks assigned to him.

Go and execute it. As you all know, the purpose of setting up the Ranger Battalion is also to explore and find a way to use the Obash Type III standard matchlock gun on the battlefield. It seems that Lieutenant Colonel Rosler has done a good job so far. He has at least completed my task.

The mission assigned to him has made it impossible for the enemy's reconnaissance cavalry to easily enter our area to conduct reconnaissance and intelligence gathering.

But you also know that Lieutenant Colonel Rosler was born a commoner, so his character is not as grand as a noble. He does not understand that the excellence of his subordinates means that he is qualified as a leader. It is a very simple truth, but it is a pity that he does not understand it. He only

He wants to perform well and doesn't want his subordinates to cover up his style. Perhaps this is the reason why he has been suppressing Claude. How to put it, his civilian background prevents him from changing the petty nature of his character. Jealousy and jealousy may hinder him.

Become a true nobleman.

As for this Claude, I admit that he is indeed very talented. Unfortunately, he is too young, only twenty years old this year, so he is arrogant and arrogant, which is why he frequently clashes with Rosler because of differences in ideas and opinions. His temperament

He still needs to be polished, otherwise promoting him now will only make him more arrogant and become a big thorn in the army in the future. So let him endure under Rosler for a while, put aside his military exploits first, and wait until he is beaten

After this battle, he will be promoted to military rank..."

Claude didn't know that the eldest prince's short discussion would cause his military exploits to be suppressed by Lieutenant Colonel Rosler in the ranger camp. However, the attendant officers in the tent all shouted in admiration: "Your Highness is wise.

!”

The eldest prince smiled and said to Captain Leedfonk: "Go and tell Rosler that although Claude needs to be polished, his reasonable suggestions must be accepted and implemented with an open mind. By the way, I remember that Claude.

De assumes the position of acting squadron leader with the rank of sergeant major. You can fill up his squadron's establishment tomorrow and let him continue to act as squadron leader.

Since he is talented, we also need to give him room to play and tell Rosler that in the future, the Claude squadron will only need to be given tasks and does not need specific guidance. All training and task execution will be decided by himself. I want to see

Let's see how far he can take this squadron, and maybe he will also give us an idea on how to use the Ranger Battalion.

Rosler turned the ranger camp into a mercenary camp. I think this is likely to be a detour. On the contrary, as Master Crirado commented, the Obash Type III standard matchlock gun will rely on the cover of defensive facilities in defensive battles.

I deeply agree with the point of inflicting a large number of casualties on the attacking enemy and reducing the casualties of our defending troops.

Perhaps we can try to train a regiment of new recruits to use the Obash Type III standard matchlock gun to play a defensive role in the battle. Captain Skerry, please record it and send a hawk message to the War Department tomorrow to ask them to

Select one of the newly formed second-line regiments and equip them all with Obash type III standard matchlock guns, and send a group of veterans with defensive experience to teach them. The most important thing is to learn how to accurately aim and shoot in defensive battles."

"Yes, Your Highness." Captain Skerry stood at attention and saluted.

"Okay, let's all disperse. It's already very late. There is a legion meeting every morning to discuss preparations for the attack. You all can go and have a rest." The eldest prince waved his hand and asked his attendant officers to leave.

Claude never dreamed that he would be summoned to the battalion office early in the morning. In front of the dark-faced Lieutenant Colonel Roesler, Captain Leedfonk, who was in charge of logistics, gave him an order with a friendly smile.

Continue to act as the squadron leader with the rank of sergeant major, and replenish the squadron's personnel. From now on, you will be responsible for all training and mission execution of the squadron. The required materials and equipment can be obtained from his logistics department.

From now on, it is up to Claude to decide who will be assigned to carry out the tasks assigned to him by the battalion headquarters and how they will be carried out. The reason why the higher-ups issued such an order is that they hope that Claude will become a test unit in this experimental combat unit, because he

Ranked first in combat merit in the Ranger Battalion, I wanted him to figure out an effective way to train soldiers in the Ranger Battalion to determine the future combat effectiveness of the Ranger Battalion and its status in the Kingdom's army...

Claude walked out of the battalion office with some confusion. The weird thing about this order was that it asked Claude to select the soldiers he thought were suitable in the ranger camp to become members of his full squadron. The problem was that

Lord's military rank is only a sergeant major, and he can still serve as a squad leader. What does acting squadron leader mean? He does not upgrade his military rank, and this is a full squadron, with a total of four squads, not like the previous guard squadron.

Only two and a half squads of soldiers...

The only thing that can be confirmed is that in the future, I can bypass Lieutenant Colonel Roesler, who has always had a stern face and a mustache, and don't have to look at his face. Just now, Captain Leedfunk's words revealed that this was the meaning above, who

I didn’t know that the Ranger Battalion was an experimental combat force formed by the Grand Prince Hansback. Doesn’t this refer to the order given by the Grand Prince himself?

As for future orders, there will no longer be specific guidance. It means that Claude is asked to perform a certain task, such as being responsible for the security of a certain area or an ambush. As for how to execute it and which team is selected to perform the task, it is up to him.

Claude will make the decision. Ridiculous things like the last time Lieutenant Colonel Rosler ordered Claude to get ten enemy identification plates before he is allowed to return to the camp will happen again.

Perhaps this is the biggest benefit, which means that Claude has become the focus of Prince Hansback, and Lieutenant Colonel Rosler can no longer continue to target and suppress Claude. As for the issue of military exploits, Claude cannot

I understand what the eldest prince means, whether he is deliberately ignoring it or giving face to Lieutenant Colonel Rosler, but it is already very beneficial to have him act as squadron leader.

While Claude was busy forming his own squadron in the ranger camp, fighting broke out again on the battlefield that had been facing off for nearly half a year. Under the command of Prince Hansback, the army of the Kingdom of Overas returned to the anti-Austrian Five-Nation Alliance.

launched a fierce attack on the defensive positions, and the "Battle of Amelia Plains" in history began. More than a million soldiers from both sides fought on the Amelia Plains. After the war, the Amelia Plains were destroyed by the battle.

Survivors call it the Field of Blood.

The total strength of the Overas Kingdom is 460,000, with seven legions and more than 30 battalion-level combat units. With the Guards Corps and two second-line legions as the vanguard, they attack the counterattack with a total strength of nearly 580,000.

The Allied Forces of the Five Austrian Countries launched a fierce attack. Under the bombardment of nearly 400 artillery pieces, they successfully tore apart the defense lines of the three principalities of the Principality of Eskiline, the Principality of Rimodra, and the Principality of Karnas.

Stride towards Afinasburg, the capital of the Principality of Siddings...
