Starting from January of the new year, Claude led the 1st Ranger Battalion to fight in the Robisdo Territory. The reason was very simple and helpless. The Clado Legion attacking the colonial garrison of the Kingdom of Hicks in the Beringana Territory performed extremely well.
Like a turtle with a shrunken head. Ever since the last time the fleet delivered them the cold-weather clothing and a large amount of supplies they needed, they have been concentrating on spending the winter in the town of Ginco, refusing to come out to move around.
Under such circumstances, Claude was unable to lead the officers and soldiers of the 131st Ranger Battalion to attack the well-defended enemy camp. He had to leave a brigade of men to monitor the enemy's movements, and led three brigade to Robby.
The Stowe Territory is looking for fighters.
The battle situation of the Robidos Direct Territory is much better than that of the Beringana Direct Territory. This is due to the fact that the city defense layout of the capital, Port Patres, is second to none among the seven overseas direct jurisdictions of the Kingdom of Ovelas. In White Deer City to
Before the new route was opened to the Tiersim Direct Territory, Patrese Port was the destination of the kingdom's fearless fleet's eastbound route. All the specialty materials sent to the kingdom from the overseas direct jurisdiction were concentrated here. Therefore, in order to guard against pirate attacks
and plunder, the kingdom spent a lot of capital to build the most powerful city defense facilities and defensive firepower in Port Patres.
No pirate group would take the idea of Port Patres until the Kingdom of Hicks declared war on the Kingdom of Ovilas. After the mainland of Nubisia launched an attack on the Kingdom's overseas territories, its Panclair Army collided head-on.
On the city defense position of Port Patres, not only did they suffer a bloody blow to their heads, but they were also beaten to a semi-mutilated state and suffered heavy casualties. Although it is said to be in a state of confrontation, in fact it is only the Panclair Army that occupies the position.
At the landing point across the river, camps and defensive positions were set up, waiting for subsequent reinforcements and troop replenishment...
In terms of strength comparison, there is actually not much difference between the Panclair Army and the local defense forces of Port Patres. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, the local defense forces of Port Patres can only defend the city and defensive positions, and cannot fight
Field warfare is no match for the Panclair Army. Therefore, even though the Panclair Army lost one-third of its troops due to the attack on Port Patres, the initiative on the battlefield is still in their hands. Their reconnaissance cavalry squad
It spread throughout the Robisto demesne, and from time to time entered the adjacent Amphiston demesne to plunder the property of the residents of the kingdom.
Since Claude led the 131st Battalion of Rangers to the Amphiston Territory, the reconnaissance cavalry of the Panclair Corps have no longer been able to enter the Amphiston Territory. Anyway, they have gone and never come back.
Clay's regiment also knew that the enemy was coming for reinforcements, and the few reconnaissance cavalry that occasionally escaped back made them understand that their reconnaissance cavalry was no match for the enemy.
However, Claude then led the 131st Ranger Battalion to fight in the Beringana Territory. Colonel Severit, who took over the garrison duties of the Amphiston Territory, was more stable and not as good as Claude and the 131st Ranger Battalion.
The officers and soldiers were so crazy that the reconnaissance cavalry chasing the enemy's escape could chase them all the way to the enemy's camp. Colonel Severit only ordered the 034th Ranger Regiment to close and guard the border area between the two demesne, preventing the reconnaissance of the Panclair Corps.
The cavalry squad can enter the Amphiston demesne at will for reconnaissance.
Now that Claude has returned with the 131st Ranger Battalion, the reconnaissance cavalry of the Panclair Corps, which is running rampant in the Robisdo Territory, have been unlucky for eight lifetimes. They have to write a letter before going out to perform missions.
What a suicide note, no one knows if they can come back again. After losing nearly a brigade of troops, they finally found the base where the 131st Battalion of Rangers was located, Modo River Town.
The Modo River is a small tributary of the Dolinibara River. Its source is the Mosilaga Mountains at the junction of the Beringana Territory and the Amphiston Territory. The streams from the mountains merge into a small river and then flow into Dolinibara.
Lahe. Modohe Town is located next to the Mosilaga Mountains and the Modo River. The residents in the town are mainly engaged in wood processing and agriculture and animal husbandry. There are about 10,000 kingdom residents and 1,300 households.
There are more than 70,000 employed indigenous mixed-race workers, that is, Nikancha people. They are more than 300 miles away from the capital, Port Patres, to the east and west.
There is a local garrison camp in Modo River Town. When the Panklei Legion invaded, they were originally going to gather at the capital of Patres Port, but they did not expect that the enemy moved too fast and landed directly not far from Patres Port.
The entire city was surrounded. So the local garrison camp in Modo River Town could only turn around, and the Panklei Army targeted the Port of Patres and had no time to divide its troops to capture the remaining two towns, so Modo River Town
Still under the control of the kingdom.
It was learned that the reinforcements sent by the Kingdom of Overas only had one light cavalry battalion. The Panclair Army mistook the 131st Ranger Battalion as a light cavalry battalion. Who told them that they were all equipped with war horses? And there was only one place in Modo River Town.
Without the strength of the garrison battalion, the Panclair Army decided to eradicate the cancer of Modo River Town first. Since they can't attack Port Patres now, they might as well eliminate the 131st Ranger Battalion first and leave it to their reconnaissance cavalry.
Troublesome fleas…
From this point of view, the Panclair Army is much more courageous than the Krado Army that attacked the Beringana Direct Territory. At least they still have the awareness to take the initiative to attack, unlike the Krado Army who huddled in Ginko Town.
If you are a turtle, you will never survive.
The Panclair Army dispatched a light cavalry regiment and an infantry field regiment to Modo River Town. Perhaps in their view, this was already four times the enemy's strength, enough to eliminate the rangers entrenched in Modo River Town.
Trinity Battalion and that local garrison...
It took five days to brave the heavy snow and rush to the town of Modo River. The two regiments of the Panklei Army found that they were a step late. Except for the Nikancha people who were reveling in smashing and looting, no one was found in the town.
Any soldier or resident of the Kingdom of Overas. After arresting a few Nikancha people and questioning them, they found out that the enemy had learned that the Panklei Army had sent two regiments of troops over. In the past few days, together with the people in the town,
The residents were all evacuated to Shixiong Town, which is more than 160 miles away.
Stone Bear Town is another town that did not fall into the hands of Panclair's Army. It is located at the junction of the Robistoux Territory and the Amphiston Territory, and is also at the foot of the Mosilaga Mountains. The town is shaped like a huge
The stone of Giant Bear is so famous that the town is named after Stone Bear. Stone Bear Town produces several valuable stones, all of which are used for high-end decoration and sculptures.
After learning that the enemies had all evacuated Moduohe Town, the two regiment commanders who were ordered to attack had no choice but to decide to stay down first and then listen to the instructions from the legion headquarters on whether they should continue to attack Shixiong Town...
Since the residents of the town have all evacuated, their vacant houses and wood processing workshops have become carnival venues for those Nikancha people, who moved into these houses uninvited. Even the two regiments of the Panklei Army
The soldiers had to drive all the Nikanchas out and back to their original slums in the west of the town, so that the soldiers of the two regiments could settle down in these residential buildings.
Residential houses were filled with dry firewood, which must have been cut and collected by the original residents to use as fuel in the winter. Even the streets were filled with broken furniture, wood shavings and the like. The soldiers of the Panclair Corps thought that
It was those Nikancha people who did it. This is the habit of these Nikancha people. But because they were tired from traveling, the soldiers were too lazy to clean up these vacant and abandoned residential buildings. They all got into those residential buildings and decided to take care of them.
Let’s take a break before talking.
The officers of the two light cavalry and infantry regiments who were ordered to attack Modo River Town were also exhausted. They hurriedly set up sentries and patrols and went to rest. They were disappointed that the enemy escaped so quickly. Shi
Bear Town is more than 160 miles away. If the army orders them to continue the pursuit, they will have to trek on the snow-covered road for three days. Therefore, everyone must recharge their batteries to cope with the upcoming journey. At this moment
None of them had the slightest warning. In the face of superior strength, they did not think that the enemy would have the courage to attack them...
Then, at about ten o'clock in the evening, the sentries and patrols were attacked by the enemy. The broken furniture and discarded scrap wood piled up on the streets started to burn, followed by the houses and wood processing workshops on the outskirts of the town.
Soon the fire spread into one piece. It began to spread towards the interior of the town. When the soldiers in the residential buildings woke up and rushed out of the house, they found that the fire had become encircling and there was no way to escape...
The gunfire is the most frequent at the stables in the south of the town. The mounts of the light cavalry regiment of Panclair's regiment and the pack horses of the infantry regiment transporting artillery and baggage supplies are concentrated here. This is also the area where the 131st Ranger Battalion focuses its attack.
, Claude was determined to capture these war horses and pack horses as trophies of this battle.
The light cavalry regiment of Panclair's Legion soon discovered Claude's intention. They also gathered a large number of soldiers to engage in a fierce battle with the 131st Ranger Battalion at the stables. However, they only responded in a hurry and did not
To be prepared, you can only use the filling method of squeezing toothpaste. As many soldiers as you can gather, order them to rush into the stable to drive the enemy out of the town and regain their mounts.
But all the efforts and sacrifices were in vain after the 131st Ranger Battalion deployed four light infantry field artillery pieces. The soldiers could not rush up at all. The attack range of the shotguns fired by the four artillery pieces covered the stables.
The two breakthrough entrances killed as many soldiers as they rushed in. They could only watch helplessly as the 131st Ranger Battalion broke through the wall and took away the surviving war horses, mounts and pack horses in the stables, and then set the stables on fire...
The fire outside the town became more and more fierce, and the residential houses inside the town also began to burn one after another. Only then did the officers and soldiers of the Panclair Corps discover that all the roofs of the houses had been doused with kerosene.
The scrap furniture and firewood and wood scattered everywhere on the street were no exception. A small spark could ignite a large pile of wood. They were trapped in the open space in the center of the town with no way to escape, and there were continuous cries and calls for help.
into one piece...
Fortunately, it snowed heavily at this time, which suppressed the fire a little. Some clear-minded officers and soldiers hurriedly launched self-rescue operations. They used various tools to demolish the burning houses and used snow and well water to extinguish the streets.
After working on the fire for half a night, they finally opened a passage to the outside of the town. When they rushed out of the town with cheers and left the burning town, they faced the cavalry of the 131st Battalion of Rangers galloping in all directions.
muskets and a dozen light infantry field artillery pieces.
Almost half of the soldiers and officers of the Panclair Corps were unarmed and had no choice but to surrender. Even the most impulsive officers could only calm down and surrender. The reason is simple. Most of their armaments and artillery are still there.
Less than one-third of the soldiers who became sacrifices to the God of Fire in the town were still holding weapons, and many soldiers did not even wear thick military uniforms and ran out of the fire scene in their shirts...
The fire in Modohe Town burned night after day, and it was not until the afternoon that a heavy snowfall put out all the fires. The entire town was almost in ruins. It can be described as almost the entire town where the Nikancha people live.
The slums are still well preserved, because the slums and the town originally maintained a distance of nearly 100 meters, outside the town walls. This was originally a measure taken by the residents of Modo River Town to prevent the Nikancha riots, but it became a
The slums were spared with the safety of this fire.
The number of soldiers of the Panclair Corps who were actually killed by the fire was not as many as the number of casualties in the fierce battle at the stables in the south of the town. However, the fire destroyed the logistical supplies and most of the weapons and artillery carried by the two regiments.
Even the war horses and pack horses were captured by the 131st Ranger Battalion. The soldiers and officers who escaped from the fire had no choice but to surrender to the 131st Ranger Battalion if they wanted to survive. They could not survive on an empty stomach.
Five days and five nights to return to the legion camp...
In the battle to burn Modo River Town, the 131st Ranger Battalion wiped out the two regiments sent by the Panclair Army to attack and captured more than 8,000 people. For the Panclair Army, it was tantamount to a cruel attack.
They received a sap, a result they never dreamed of. The two regiments never returned, and there was no news until a few lucky scouts evaded the cordoned blockade of the 131st Ranger Battalion.
Line, arrived outside the town of Modo River, saw the burning ashes, and got the exact answer from the mouths of the Nikancha people, only to know that their two regiments had been completely wiped out.
So the Panclair Army also became more honest, learned from the Krado Army in the Beringana Direct Territory, and huddled in the camp to die, waiting until this winter passed and received subsequent reinforcements of troops and materials.
Claude could only lead the 131st Ranger Battalion back to the Amphiston Territory for winter rest. From October last year to January of the new year, the 131st Ranger Battalion had been fighting in two territories directly under the jurisdiction of Amphiston.
At the same time, the casualties were not small. Now there are only more than 1,100 people in the whole battalion who can still fight, and the original establishment was an enhanced version with a full strength of about 1,800 people...
In February, the two direct territories of Robistoe and Beringana were very calm, and the enemy could not retreat. Claude only sent Belclin's light cavalry brigade to monitor the Panclair Army and the Clado Army. The result was
The reward was that the enemy's two legions were very disciplined and stayed in their camps and did not come out to move around.
After the rainy season in March, another huge transport fleet arrived from the Kingdom of Hicks, adding one division to the Panclair Army and two infantry regiments to the Clado Army. At the same time, several ships escorted the fleet.
The warships once again launched an artillery bombardment on the port of Patres, the capital of the Robisto Territory. But this time they were unlucky. They were sunk and damaged one warship each. In the end, they could only escape with the fleet in embarrassment.
The Panclair Army and the Clado Army, which had received additional strength, once again launched an attack on Port Patres and the city of Bricaman. The Robisto Territory and the Beringana Territory once again ignited the war. Claude led
The 131st Ranger Battalion moved to fight in two territories directly under the Central Government, but this time the enemy was on guard and attached great importance to the safety of the transport convoy. Each time, a regiment of troops was sent to escort them, so that the 131st Ranger Battalion did nothing but eliminate them.
Except for some enemy reconnaissance cavalry, no greater results can be obtained.
In early April, Claude finally received good news that the follow-up troops of the Ranger Division had arrived in the Amphiston Territory. General Michelich asked Claude to report back to the division headquarters.
