Chapter 444 Wolf Fang Squadron

Chapter 444: Wolf Fang Squadron

"General, the enemy has set up a very wide cordon around their camp. From the seaside to the eastern mountains, they have their cordon posts at all commanding heights. In addition, they have also arranged more than ten squads of patrol cavalry, basically

Every fifteen minutes, we will patrol various commanding heights. We have no way to find a route that allows us to cross this warning range. If there are few people, we may be able to sneak past, but if there are many people, it is impossible not to be discovered.

..."

Listening to the report from the leader of the reconnaissance team, Claude had a headache. He didn't expect to spend more than ten days rushing to the northern mountainous border only to hear such bad news. More than a dozen reconnaissance teams had been lurking at the northern mountainous border for two days.

They came to the same conclusion. The captain standing in front of Claude was the only one who could lead his team deep into the warning range and escape without being noticed by the enemy. He had a clearer understanding of the enemy's warning arrangement.

This reconnaissance team is from the 1303rd Thunder Regiment. The captain is an old sergeant. He is a veteran who is highly valued by the regiment leader, Colonel Diavid, and Claude also knows him. If he were not illiterate, he would be able to stand out in this place by virtue of his ability.

Having made meritorious service in several colonial wars, he should now be a lieutenant, instead of always holding the rank of sergeant major and serving as the leader of the reconnaissance team.

It seems that the two standing legions of the Hicks have not been huddled in their camps, but have extended their warning range to the entire northern coastal mountainous area. Claude wants to quietly lead a division of troops

It seems that it is not an easy task to attack the Hicks general logistics base camp near Rodex Bay City through their security circle. The conclusion of the reconnaissance is that it will inevitably be noticed by the enemy.

.....

The old Master Chief took out a thin notebook from his arms, opened it, and started to mark on the border map the sentry posts and patrol teams set up by the Hicks within the warning range based on the marks on it. This was

It was the reconnaissance results obtained by his reconnaissance team that went deep into the enemy's warning range, and they needed to be marked one by one on the map.

Claude was a little surprised and asked: "Mlek, have you learned how to read and draw?"

The old Master Chief replied somewhat honestly: "My superiors urged me to learn three words a day. I have been learning for a year and can read newspapers, but the speed is very slow. Colonel Diavid said that I only need to learn three words a day."

If I pass the literacy test, I will be promoted to the rank of Second Lieutenant of the Kingdom..."

However, the old Master Chief did not take this opportunity to chat more with Claude. Instead, he pointed to the border map with his finger: "General, this time I used a dry river ditch here to sneak into the enemy's warning range to complete the reconnaissance mission.

However, the enemy set up a total of three warning posts on the highlands on both sides of the dry river ditch, each with a small team stationed there. When our reconnaissance team passed through the three warning posts, we used night cover and crawled forward.

Only then did we avoid the enemy's patrol. This dry river ditch is about one meter three to four meters deep. You need to bend forward to avoid being discovered by the enemy..."

This dry river ditch can indeed pass through the entire warning circle set up by the Hicks, but there are two problems. One is that the three warning posts set up by the enemy next to the river bank must be removed.

The movement of the Thunder Legion will be discovered by the enemy at the post. Don't treat the enemy as an idiot. The passage of a division's troops will easily leave traces of the march. Enemies with a little brain can know where Claude and the others want to attack after thinking about it.

....

Claude wanted to attack the Hicks general logistics base camp near Rodex Bay City first, relying on surprise and unpreparedness. If the enemy discovers it, the falcon message is much faster than the troops marching.

When Lord arrived, he was likely to face the enemy's solid defense and tenacious defense. The worst case scenario was that the Hicks took the opportunity to mobilize the two forces stationed on the eastern mountain front and the northern border to prepare to encircle and annihilate Claude's troops who penetrated deep into the enemy's territory.

The people and horses in the border.

Although Claude is not afraid of the enemy's overwhelming numbers and is confident of forcibly capturing the Hicks general logistics base camp, his strategic planning this time will be completely in vain. Maybe he will have to rely on

The defense facilities of the enemy's general logistics base camp were used to resist the enemy's two-pronged attack. As a result, even if they could break out of the encirclement, the casualties of the troops would be huge. This was not a result that Claude wanted to see. The most important thing was that he could not control it.

Initiative on the battlefield.

"Find General Albert, and Lieutenant Blovik, the squadron leader of the Spike Squadron of the 131st Thunder Battalion who is staying at the legion headquarters." Claude gave the order to his adjutant, Lieutenant Colonel Anders, very concisely.

Order.

Blovik quickly arrived at Claude. He saluted Claude: "General, please give instructions!"

This was wartime, and even though Brovik was Claude's younger brother, he still had to call Claude according to military regulations. Claude nodded slightly, indicating that he would wait nearby.

General Albert was at the rear, and it took about half an hour to arrive. Claude quickly explained to them the situation they were facing: "We have to change our planned plan. When I lead the First Thunder Division

After passing through the enemy's warning range, you immediately lead your troops to launch a full-scale attack on the Hicks' warning circle, forcing the enemy to withdraw the warning posts set up on the outside into the camp, without having time to check whether any troops have passed through their warning line.

If the enemy's large troops leave the camp, you can directly attack them head-on. I will leave one battalion of the 1303rd Regiment equipped with new rifles and half of the sniper team for you. I believe that the enemy will not be our opponent in the field.

But what you need to pay attention to is that you cannot attack the enemy's camp and waste our troops in vain. The enemy has three divisions, and you only have one division. Containing and harassing the enemy is your task.

After I burn down the food, grass and military supplies stored in the main camp of the Hicks General Logistics Base, no matter how many reinforcements the Hicks here send, you must not act rashly. Wait until I ambush the reinforcements and attack the enemy's camp from behind.

Only then will the enemy think that they have been deceived and that you are feigning an attack to distract their attention. They will regard my side as the main force of the attack, shift the focus of defense to the rear, and relax their vigilance towards you in the front. At this time, you

Use your strength again to attack us from both front and back, and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop..."

General Albert nodded: "I understand what you mean, don't worry, I will do what you ask."

Claude turned to his younger brother Blovik: "Lieutenant Blovik, your mission is to lead your Wolf Fang Squadron to remove these three enemy warning posts for us next to this dry river ditch. And

Pretend to be the enemy's security team, fool the enemy's cavalry patrols, and escort our large troops through the enemy's security range without letting the enemy detect our movements. Remember, I don't want to hear gunshots during the execution of the mission.

..."

Blovik stood at attention and saluted the two generals: "Yes, I promise to complete the mission."

Claude pointed at the old sergeant who stood silently next to him: "His name is Mlek. He can be your guide. You go down and prepare. We will set off after dark. Also, I don't want to hear the sound of gunfire."

It doesn't mean you can't shoot. As long as there is a threat to the Langya Squadron, you can shoot to eliminate the enemy first. I hope you understand that the life of any soldier in the Langya Squadron is more precious than the enemy's general...

..."

Blovik and the old Master Chief saluted together and retreated silently.

General Albert said with a smile: "You are too harsh on your brother, always letting him perform such dangerous tasks. I used to misunderstand that you selected the most elite soldiers from the entire legion, and only got them after several eliminations.

A Wolf Fang Squadron is to protect your younger brother. Later I realized that you are not protecting your brother, but forging the sharpest knife of our Thunder Legion. The soldiers all call the Wolf Fang Squadron the King of Soldiers Squadron, only the best

Only soldiers can join it, but it’s a pity that the cost is too high..."

They are indeed high, the most powerful combat masters in the entire legion, including sharpshooters. The new rifles are also the first equipment. The bullets are released for them to train. Each person is also equipped with a revolver. This treatment is better than that of the average second lieutenant officer in the legion.

It’s still high. The cost of raising one Wolf Fang Squadron can be enough to support two and a half squadrons, but Claude is determined to build the Wolf Fang Squadron into the world’s first special forces, and he spends a lot of money.

No matter what.

"Training soldiers for a lifetime is spent in a short period of time." Claude said: "This money is worth spending. If it is not the Wolf Fang Squadron, then do you think there are other troops that can undertake such a task? A general reconnaissance unit, let

If they attack these three enemy security posts, they will probably fire immediately, which will alert all the enemies. We can't even think about sneaking through the enemy's security lines and sneaking around without anyone noticing.

Go to the rear...

You should also make preparations. Let the reconnaissance troops of each unit of the 2nd Division lurk close to the enemy's guard posts. If you hear gunfire from the Wolf Fang Squadron, immediately shoot at the enemy to confuse the enemy. Let the enemy think

We launched a large-scale attack on the security posts, not just to uproot the three security posts next to the dry river ditch."

"Yes, General." General Albert saluted neatly and retreated.

Waiting is a very anxious thing. To be honest, Claude actually wants to act together with his brother Blovik. But now that he has a high position of power, it is impossible for him to personally carry out front-line tasks and charge into battle. There is

At that time, Claude really missed his time in the 1st Ranger Battalion. As a small lieutenant-level officer, he needed to take the lead in fighting on the front line. But at that time, he didn't need to think about so many problems.

There is no such heavy pressure...

Claude finally fell asleep in his wild thoughts, and it was already dark when he was woken up by Adjutant Anders.

"What time is it?" Claude took the towel handed over by Lieutenant Anders and wiped his face casually.

"Report to General, it's twenty-seven minutes past one in the morning." Adjutant Anders stood at attention and reported.

Claude was stunned for a moment, then became furious: "I slept for nearly eight hours, why didn't you wake me up?"

"I didn't let Lieutenant Colonel Anders call you." General Albert came in from outside: "During this period, you didn't sleep for more than a few hours a day, and you were always planning a plan to defeat the Hicks.

Your body won't be able to stand it if this continues. It's rare that you slept so deeply today, so I told Lieutenant Colonel Anders not to wake you up and let you have a good rest.

All plans are progressing smoothly so far. The Wolf Fang Squadron has taken down three of the Hicks' warning posts next to the dry river ditch. No shots were fired and no one was injured. All that's left is to see how they deal with those patrols.

The cavalry team is here. Your 1st Thunder Division and Colonel Belklin's 1301st Regiment have already set off along the river ditch.

According to your instructions, all the officers and soldiers are holding a branch in their mouths so as not to make any noise to alert the enemy. Colonel Murield's 1302nd Regiment is also ready and is about to set off, followed by Diawi

Colonel De's 1303rd Regiment, you go with them. Their regiment is equipped with new rifles, and their safety is relatively guaranteed. That's why I asked Lieutenant Colonel Anders to wake you up now. You have to prepare. We will be here soon.

It’s time to leave.”

It took Claude nearly two hours to reach the ten-mile ditch. It was almost four o'clock at this time, and it was the darkest time of the night. However, after leaving the ditch, there was a large pine forest, and the troops in front entered

There is no need to worry about being discovered by the enemy in the woods. Because it is already nearly fourteen or five miles away from the enemy's camp, except for the Hicks' logistics veterans who occasionally drive a carriage to cut branches for firewood, there are basically no patrols there.

Come this way.

His younger brother Blovik and several soldiers from the Wolf Fang Squadron stood at the last guard post to welcome Claude's arrival. Claude smelled a strong smell of blood from his body. It seemed that Blovik

Vic did not listen to his advice and once again went into battle himself to participate in close combat.

Claude had warned him that as the commander-in-chief of the most elite Wolf Fang Squadron in the entire legion, he was responsible for the formulation and implementation of plans, as well as the allocation of personnel and remedial measures after unexpected situations occurred, rather than

Treating himself as a small soldier, Blovik relied on his ability to perform spells and took the lead every time he performed a mission. Although this gave him a high prestige in the Wolf Fang Squadron, it also helped him develop his commanding abilities.

Have a bad influence.

Claude could only wrinkle his nose and pretend to smell nothing: "After the 1304th Regiment passes, you can disperse and attack the warning posts set up by the Hicks elsewhere.

General Albert will also command the reconnaissance team of the Second Division from the front to cooperate with you in attacking these warning posts. You only have half an hour to attack. After half an hour, you must evacuate before dawn, so just follow us

Evacuate in the forward direction, I will leave a response staff in front for you."

Blovik and the soldiers of the Wolf Fang Squadron silently raised their hands to salute Claude. Only then did Claude realize that the soldiers of the Wolf Fang Squadron were holding various crossbows.

He knew very well that his brother asked his sister Anna to create these weapons in the alchemical magic talisman formation. No wonder he was confident that he could eliminate the three enemy teams at the three guard posts without firing a single shot.

Five days later, Claude led the Thunder 1st Division to the vicinity of the Hicks general logistics base camp. He was very pleased to see that the enemy's general logistics base camp looked defenseless. It was two thousand miles away from the camp.

Meters away, the gates of Rodex Bay City in the west are also wide open, and from time to time, officers from the Hicks Kingdom ride horses or carriages to Rodex Bay City.

"It seems that the logistics officer of the logistics transport convoy we captured two days ago did not lie. The enemy did not know that we were coming. He confessed that the camp received a report from two standing corps stationed on the northern mountainous border that they were attacked.

The harassment-like attack in our directly-administered war zone resulted in the loss of nearly a brigade of troops. We hope that the General Logistics Base Camp can transport a batch of iron pumpkins for them to use for defense. The official in charge of the Logistics Base Camp said that the current transportation capacity is tight.

It will take a few days before departure..."

Colonel Belklin and others stood next to Claude, looking at the enemy camp in the distance with their monocular binoculars. Two days ago, when they were on the road, they happened to encounter an army with 170 soldiers.

A multi-carriage Hicks logistical material transport convoy was escorted by only an old Hicks camp.

So Colonel Belklin, who opened the way, commanded the 1301th Thunder Regiment to successfully ambush the convoy and killed the enemy battalion commander who commanded the Hicks veteran to resist stubbornly. As his deputy, a Hicks logistics department

The deputy officer in charge simply ordered the remaining soldiers to surrender and save his life.

After the war, Colonel Berklin personally interrogated the official in charge of the Hicks Logistics Department. From his mouth, he learned that the military supplies on this transport convoy were all trebuchet-style slingers and iron pumpkins, and were transported to the camp on the eastern mountainous border.

.It is said that on the battlefield where the Eastern Mountain Front is currently confronting the legions in the directly-administered war zone, this kind of thrower and iron pumpkin are the biggest consumables. The commander-in-chief of the front line sent three falcon letters in one day, asking the camp in the rear to get rid of them as soon as possible.

Deliver fifty slingers and more iron pumpkins to the front lines...

The official in charge of the Hicks Logistics Department also confessed that, in addition to the veteran camp that was ambushed and annihilated, the division guarding the general logistics base camp also had two battalions that escorted the logistics convoy to the front line but did not return, and the rest

Everyone stayed in the camp, drinking beer, gambling and so on. No one cared about the defense. The gate of the camp was not closed at night...

The main reason is that the officers of the regiment level and above in the garrison division and the officers in charge of the logistics department of the large battalion are used to going to Rodex Bay City to find women in the Bay City to drink and have fun all night long. Like him this time, it was the luck of the draw.

Unfortunately, I was unlucky enough to be chosen to accompany this transport convoy to the front line for handover, and ended up being drawn as a prisoner.

Claude put down the monocular in his hand and gave an order to the senior officers of the First Division of the Thunder Legion standing next to him: "Let the soldiers have a good rest. At eleven o'clock in the evening, start attacking the enemy.

General Logistics Base Camp!"
