"...You are bringing two divisions of the Rock Legion over this time. The purpose is to hold on, not to attack." The thin wooden stick in Claude's hand pointed to a small figure on the map of the kingdom hanging on the wall.
Red circle: "Securing Ambriz County means that White Deer City is safe and sound. But holding on does not mean that you cannot take the initiative to attack. You can choose suitable fighter planes to annihilate part of the enemy's forces, disrupt the enemy's attack layout, and attract the enemy to you.
In front of the position..."
After two months, the overseas dominions finally received a reply and rescue request from the kingdom. The edict of recognition and the official notice of the agreement signed by Frederick I and stamped with the seal of the Stirling royal family have been forwarded to the dominion parliament and the official notice of the agreement by Mrs. Maria.
Military Region. The Dominion Military Region, which is undergoing war mobilization, has accelerated its steps. Troops belonging to the Rock Army are getting on the train in batches and arriving at the Port of Corpicius to wait for orders to board the ship.
The first and second divisions of the Rock Army were set off this time. The newly formed third division remained in the autonomous military region to continue training. In addition, two local garrison regiments were drawn out to accompany them.
The Rock Legion went there. Their mission was to guard the logistical military supplies transported to White Deer City by the overseas dominions, and to escort ammunition and other supplies to the front line. The man who led the Rock Legion was General Bolognik, and the task of dealing with the Wang Ting was handed over to him.
Give it to him. As for the battle command on the front line, General Beachlin is responsible for it.
"This time we are fighting independently and do not need to obey the command of the Kingdom's Army Department. As for what they say, we will treat them as farts and there is no need to pay attention to them." Claude once again tapped the map on the pole with a thin wooden stick: "
If we obey the command of the Kingdom's Army Department, then I think we will be given endless orders to attack the enemy's positions and camps, and recover local counties one by one, until our troops are exhausted, suffer heavy casualties, and can no longer perform tasks.
until.
At that time, we will still have to endure the ridicule and ridicule of those bastards who are standing behind us and protected by us, and it is nothing more than the troops of our autonomous military region. Then we will even be asked to use the new rifles and the new
The artillery is handed over to them, and they form troops to fight the enemy. As for the difficulties we encounter, they will turn a deaf ear and ignore any of our requests.
This is not my nonsense, but you must be mentally prepared. Not only do you have to deal with enemies that rely on superior forces to attack you in the front, but you also have to guard against open and covert arrows from behind. Therefore, have the ability to fight independently.
We have the power and command to ignore any orders from the Kingdom's Ministry of War, not even His Majesty the King's orders. You have only one mission, execute our own battle plan and hold on to Ambriz County.
Ambriz County is backed by mountainous areas in the southwest. Although the terrain is hilly, it has a vast area of virgin black forest and hills all over the county. You will rely on the terrain here to re-establish a defensive front, defend, attack, and defeat the enemy.
Offensive. Attract the enemy's superior forces to your surroundings, buy half a year for our Thunder Legion, let us go straight into the enemy's hinterland, and turn their army on the front line into a lone army..."
The attack plan led by Claude in the Dominion Military District is actually very simple. It is to have the two divisions of the Rock Army arrive in the Kingdom and then go to Ambriz County to form a defensive front to defend Ambriz County and attract the enemy's heavy troops. And Thunder
The three divisions of the legion raided the Florik seaport of the Principality of Rimodra, landed there and swept across the kingdom's new occupied territories, and invaded the Kingdom of Nasseri from the border of the Principality of Sidings, striving to capture this territory first.
The backbone countries of the Eastern Regional League of Nations were defeated.
This action plan has a nice name called Crescent Hook. The basis for formulating this attack plan is that the Kingdom of Nasseri is the mortal enemy of the Kingdom of Overas and ranks second among the five countries that formed the Eastern Regional Alliance.
, is the second powerful country after the Kingdom of Hicks, and is also the country that most hopes to destroy the Kingdom of Ovelas. This time, whether it is a debt war or a war to invade the Kingdom of Ovelas, the Kingdom of Nasseri can be said to
Already tried our best.
During the Debt War, the Kingdom of Nasseri lost the strength of four legions. However, the country was then mobilized to reorganize the standing legion, and together with the armies of the remaining four countries in the Eastern Regional Alliance, they once again invaded the Kingdom of Ovilas. After several battles,
There were more than half casualties, but seeing the dawn of the destruction of the Orvilas Kingdom coming, they still managed to support it.
According to intelligence, the Nasseri Kingdom currently has six legions, two new legions are training in their kingdom, one legion is deployed in the royal capital for replenishment and reorganization, and three legions are deployed on the front line. It is said that Hick is currently being requested.
The Kingdom of Sri Lanka has provided military expenditures and military material reinforcements, and is preparing to form two or three new legions again...
As for the newly restored Principality of Sidings and the Principality of Rimodra, none of the senior officers of the Dominion Military Region who formulated the crescent hook plan took these two countries seriously. These two countries are in the Eastern Region Alliance of Nations.
The people were poor and the country was exhausted. They finally managed to gather a legion to join the invasion force against the Kingdom of Orvelas. As a result, half of them suffered casualties in a battle in the border county. They had no choice but to form a legion together.
, but then each sent a new legion to the front line.
However, there is news that these two principalities are compulsorily recruiting troops and are preparing to form a legion again and send them to the front line. With the population and national strength of these two principalities, being able to form three legions each and send them to the front line can be regarded as draining their wealth.
.It’s just that these legions of the two principalities are in the lowest status on the front line. They are either used as cannon fodder or as servant legions, specifically doing odd jobs for the troops of the other three countries. Therefore, they have no fighting spirit and have the lowest combat effectiveness.
weak.
From the analysis of the combat situation between the army of the Eastern Region National Alliance and the three major legions of the kingdom, the most powerful ones are the standing legion of the Kingdom of Hicks and the light cavalry legion of the Principality of Karnars. The army of the Kingdom of Hicks relies on those made by them.
The grenades with ultra-long throwing distance caused the greatest damage to the three major field ace armies of the Kingdom. Only the grenades and throwing devices manufactured by the overseas autonomous military regions can compete with them...
The Principality of Karrnath used the mobile assault capabilities of the light cavalry to repeatedly break through the weaknesses of the defensive front, posing a great threat. However, the light cavalry regiment of the Principality of Karrnath also suffered heavy casualties. The three light cavalry they sent to the front line
There are only about one and a half legions left in the legion, and they are waiting for reinforcements and support from the rear.
Due to too many battle losses, the Kingdom of Nasseri's newly formed legion's combat effectiveness is similar to that of the second-line army of the Kingdom of Ovelas. It has withdrawn from the position of the main battle force. After the attack is launched, it can only attack the second-line army on the flank of the Kingdom of Ovelas.
The legions' defensive positions are involved. As for the legions of the Principality of Siddings and the Principality of Rimodra, they are used as cannon fodder on the front line to detect the firepower deployment of the defensive positions, or to maintain supply channels in the rear and transport military equipment.
Go to the countryside to plunder the cattle and sheep of the kingdom's residents and collect grain, grass and other supplies.
If the two armies of the Autonomous Territory Military Region land in Bailu City on the mainland of the Kingdom, then if they want to expel the troops of the Eastern Region National Alliance from the country, they will have to face an enemy with superior strength. The recovery of each local county means that
In the fierce battles, even if all the senior officers in the Dominion Military Region believe that their troops are invincible, people are not machines. When there is a huge gap between the strength of the troops and the enemy, no matter how elite or invincible they are, they will still be overwhelmed by the enemy, especially
In the absence of reliable friendly forces...
Therefore, the senior officers of the Dominion Military Region formulated this crescent hook plan under the guidance of Claude, using the Rock Legion's defensive ability to hold on to Ambriz County and attract the enemy's heavy troops to the defensive front. Claude knew very well,
As long as the troops of the Eastern Region National Alliance occupy the second defensive front currently set up by the Kingdom, they will only face Ambriz County defended by the Rock Legion. If the Rock Legion is defeated again, then White Deer City will no longer have much defense.
With the strength of the army, the Kingdom of Ovilas is about to be destroyed.
Under such circumstances, Ambriz County is like a piece of delicious fat, attracting all the attention of the five evil wolves of the Eastern Region National Alliance. And the Rock Legion's timely performance of its combat effectiveness will make the Eastern Region countries
The alliance mobilized all the troops at hand to the front line in an attempt to defeat the Rock Legion with its vast superior force, and completely destroy the Kingdom of Ovelas in one battle.
And at that time, as long as the Thunder Legion landed at Florik Seaport in the Principality of Rimodra, then from the Kingdom of Rimodra to the Emilia Plains of the Principality of Sidings, and then to the hinterland and the royal city of the Kingdom of Nasseri
The city of Polyvisia will be a smooth road. With the speed of the Thunder Legion's light cavalry assault, they can reach the Polyvisia City of the Kingdom of Nasseri within twenty days. It is not enough to destroy the royal family of Nasseri in one battle.
A joke.
If an attack is launched from the mainland of the Kingdom to the Kingdom of Nasseri, even if the two legions of the Dominion Military Region want to reach the Royal City of Polyvisia in the Kingdom of Nasseri, it will take at least two or three months. The reason is very simple.
As the sworn enemy of the Kingdom of Overas, the Kingdom of Nasseri has built countless defense facilities and positions in this direction. Even if the Thunder Legion and the Rock Legion are invincible, they still need to capture these defense facilities and positions one by one.
This is also the reason why Claude is unwilling to land on the mainland of the Kingdom and then launch an attack on the Kingdom of Nasseri. The main reason is that it cannot be a quick victory. It takes time to capture the defense lines and defense facilities on the Kingdom of Nasseri.
, perhaps when the army came to the city, the Nasseri royal family packed up all their wealth and ran to the Kingdom of Hicks.
Just like the Archduke Sidings and the Archduke Rimodra during the war in the eastern region in the past five years, they fled quickly and left a ruin-like territory for the victors. This is not possible. Claude needs to give the two legions
The soldiers distributed enough trophies and rewards. The treasury of the Kingdom of Ovelas no longer had any hope, and even the inner treasury of King Stirling was empty. Now Claude can only rely on the Principality of Sidings, Limodra
There were gains from the royal palace treasury and the properties of noble officials in the Principality and the Kingdom of Nasseri.
It is exactly a crescent-shaped journey from landing at Florik Harbor in the Principality of Rimodra, to the Emilia Plains in the Principality of Sidings, and then into the hinterland of the Kingdom of Nasseri. It is enough to go along the way.
The Thunder Legion destroyed these three countries. In addition, it is easier to attack from the Kingdom of Nasseri to the Principality of Karrnath, which dominates the Karrnath Steppe, than to attack from the three eastern counties in the newly occupied territory of the original kingdom. There can be
You have to travel through most of the Karnas Grassland.
Let’s take care of the Kingdom of Nasseri first. The Principality of Sidings and the Principality of Limodra will be killed along the way. Under the lightning attack of the Thunder Legion, I believe that none of the Grand Dukes of these two principalities can escape, then
The remaining Principality of Karrnath will be easy to deal with. When the news reaches the front lines of the kingdom, the armies of these three countries will collapse immediately, and the remaining troops of the Kingdom of Hicks and the Principality of Karrnath will be unable to escape.
, then it will depend on the Rock Legion’s choice.
Claude knocked on the map on the wall again and said to the senior officers of the Dominion Military Region in the conference room: "You all already understand the crescent hook plan, but whether it can be executed smoothly depends on whether you two can resist it.
Can withstand the pressure from His Majesty the King, the Kingdom's Ministry of War, and the high-ranking officials and nobles of the royal court.
This is no joke. His Majesty has just ascended the throne and is understandably eager for quick success. The Kingdom's Army Ministry has repeatedly misjudged the enemy's movements and lost ground one after another. It also needs a great victory to boost people's morale. Therefore, as long as the Rock Army can fight on the front line,
Yes, they are likely to unite and force you to switch from defense to offense, and you must withstand this pressure.
At present, the second line of defense set up by the Kingdom in Kukliya County, Chaniyalar County, Krimes County, Bilimolo County and Baigasantana County has not been lost, but the pressure is very high. And the eastern region
The National Alliance troops also suffered heavy casualties when they captured the first line of defense. They were probably resting and re-awaiting reinforcements. Intelligence said that our kingdom deployed four legions of more than 200,000 troops on the second line of defense.
The military strength of the Eastern Region National Alliance is about six to seven legions.
I really don’t understand why the Kingdom’s War Department is still in ruins when the five local counties of Kukliya, Chaniyalar, Krimes, Bilimolo and Baigasantana are almost in ruins.
Don’t give up, but insist on holding on to the second line of defense. Is this a fight for every inch of territory? Where are the senior generals of the kingdom who are accustomed to fighting? I hope you can ask about Marshal Michelci after returning to the kingdom.
His whereabouts, I’m very surprised, how could he suddenly disappear without hearing any news during the civil war in the kingdom?”
Claude said these words to General Bolognik and General Bichklin. The two of them led the Rock Legion to return to the Kingdom to participate in the war. They will inevitably bear greater pressure from His Majesty the King, the Royal Family, the Royal Court and the Kingdom's Army Ministry.
"I understand," General Bolognik replied: "I will stay in the royal court and deal with them. I refused the request for the Rock Army to go to the second line of defense for reinforcements, and instead resettled and built a new defensive front in Ambriz County to
One legion to defend against all armies of the Alliance of Nations in the Eastern Region.
Only in this way will those guys who have bad intentions towards our Dominion let us fight independently, want to see our jokes, and sit back and watch our failure. And our persistence will not only allow the crescent hook plan to be implemented smoothly, but also help
The Kingdom's troops who have withdrawn to Bailu City have time to rest, replenish their forces and reorganize..."
Claude nodded with satisfaction: "This time you are equipped with a total of 568 new artillery pieces, all personnel are equipped with new rifles, and a thousand sniper rifles. As long as the ammunition can keep up, I believe no enemy can defeat you.
You are arrogant in front of you. No matter how many legions attack you, they will only end in miserable defeat. There are only three points I want to remind you in the end. One is to ensure the supply of ammunition. This is the top priority and must not be taken lightly in this regard.
The second is to ensure the minimum casualties of our troops, focusing on holding on to Ambriz County, and not launching unnecessary attacks simply because the enemy is weak. Because the casualties of our soldiers cannot be supplemented in terms of strength in the kingdom itself. This is not my personal guess.
, but because those bastards behind you hope that you will fight a big defeat, it is best to die together with the enemy, so that they will have an excuse to deprive our autonomous military region of independent combat rights and command rights.
If you suffer heavy casualties on the front line and cannot get support and troop replenishment from the rear, then we can only replenish troops from the Dominion Military District. At that time, it will be equivalent to using the blood of our Dominion's young men to fight against the enemies who invaded the Kingdom.
, all that will be consumed will be the vitality of our Dominion. And those bastards who are making things difficult for us in the rear can just sit back and enjoy the gains.
The last point is that when you go to Bailu City this time, you will be accompanied by the last hundreds of thousands of Obas III standard matchlock guns transported to the kingdom, a large amount of military supplies, grain and other agricultural products. The same is replaced by our autonomous military region.
The old equipment, this is the bargaining chip you hold in your hands, and cannot be easily transferred to the Kingdom's Army Department.
I think you can use this batch of supplies to find friendly forces in the Kingdom itself, like the Griffin Legion. Their battle losses are difficult to replenish, because the last batch of military supplies and weapons we delivered to the Kingdom were basically all used by the Kingdom.
The Ministry of War is used to form new legions. After the Battle of Border County, the remnants of the Red Dragon Legion have not been supplied with supplies and cannot rebuild the legion again. Therefore, you can allocate the materials delivered this time to the Red Dragon Legion.
Tilt with the Griffin Army to prevent the Guards Army from becoming the dominant force in the kingdom."
General Bolognik and General Bichkerin both nodded. During this period, a lot of news came from White Deer City. For example, the Kingdom's Ministry of War was preparing to reorganize the Guards Corps using the last weapons and equipment and military supplies in stock. And from the border
The remnants of the Red Dragon Legion that retreated after the war have been unable to receive supplies and soldiers, and may even be de-organized. Facts have proved that even the old aristocratic families still have internal factions and conflicts...
..
"By the way, I forgot one thing." Claude said: "If you encounter provocative behavior, you must fight back fiercely without being patient. Because some people will regard your patience and consideration of the overall situation as cowardice and will
I will go too far and climb on your heads to poop and urinate to disgust you..."
