Continental Hero Senki

Reorganization of the defeated soldiers and alienation of the surrounding inhabitants, while doing so, pulling supplies from the expected path of advance of the Imperial Army.

The execution of the so-called scorched-earth operation was decided.

An army of 15,000 or less under General Yogihes will split into several units to carry out the alienation operation.

Beside that, we have to buy time to avoid being attacked during the alienation operation.

At the mercy of Admiral Yogihs, the brigade commanded by Brigadier General Keppra will help us buy that time. This one is down here, both in class and age, but Brigadier General Keppra says on orders from General Yogihes to listen carefully to my point of view.

It is a perfectly gratifying story.

Added to that Brigadier General Keppra's brigade and Sarah's Kingsguard Division 3rd Cavalry Regiment, General Yogihes named the "Keppra Independent Mixed Brigade" with 8,000 battle power. Well, we'll figure it out.

"That's why, Radek. I need your help to buy time. Don't worry, I don't plan on asking for such a difficult thing."

…………

And somehow Radek replied with silent jitsu eyes.

"What's that reaction?"

"... I don't like it, when you say that"

Ha ha? Had I ever been so impotent with Radek? No, I don't.

"I can only remember myself."

"Don't worry about the details! Besides, protecting the people is the army."

"Ha... so what am I supposed to do?

Mm-hmm. That was a convenient friend - not a friend I could count on. Talk fast.

"Moving north for now. It's a little hard to defend here. Go to Osovietz. It's a natural fortress of rivers, forests and hills, perfect for defense."

"It's close to Augustuf and Euk, where the Imperial Army is likely to be based, and the streets go by in a way that plunders Osovietz. I see. Something about the Imperial Army."

"That's what I'm talking about"

Augustuf and Euk are the biggest cities around here. It's just not a fortified city, so it's not defensive. There have also been many battles at the southern end of the Lake Atheni region, and there is no time for alienation.

There are other settlement villages in the vicinity, but it won't come true to alienate all residents.

But further south from here, there is Bjawistok, a big city. In order to advance there from Augustuf and Euk, you have to go through the streets near Osovietz.

This is going to be a strategic shock.

The day after we broke up with Admiral Yogijes, we arrived in Osovietz as planned, and we were set to launch a time buying operation based here.

The hardest thing to do at that time is the man in charge of supplies and the brigade commanded by Brigadier General Keppra.

"First of all, as a confirmation, our aim is not to strike and destroy our enemies, but only to buy time for the preparation of our allies and the alienation of our inhabitants. For a specific period of time - one month."

"Have a month, with this power!?

Brigadier General Keppra gave me such a surprise from the seat of the operation conference.

"Yes, my lord. I've made it shorter."

"Don't make it easy for me...... No, I didn't even go to cadet school seriously, so I'll leave you to it, okay?

"I'm not a class or old enough to say this... if you believe me"

"... now let's believe it. I ordered you to believe, not your talent, Lord Yogijes."

Can't you believe it suddenly? But I just appreciate your input on this one.

"Continue. As a big premise, my battle power difference is hopeless. The enemy is 400,000. A reconnaissance force to be put out as a vanguard would also be tens of thousands of troops. By contrast, this one is only 8,000. Morale cannot be said to be high because it is even more disadvantageous, and there is a huge area to defend against the forces of war."

The area to be protected is a radius of 40 km, mainly here in Osovietz. We have to protect that with 8,000 battle forces for the time being.

Another 50 kilometres or so away are Augustuv and Euk, where the Imperial Army is based for the time being, and the city Bjawistok to the south.

If it's dropped there, the war is almost certain to be lost. The northeastern territory of Silesia will be cut to bits.

We must stop at all costs before the attitude of our allies can be re-established.

But as I have said many times, the difference in power is hopeless.

So you have to be creative.

"I'd like your Brigadier General's unit to have Osovietz build a defensive position."

"I've already done that. It'll still take some time, but we should be able to defend ourselves well tomorrow."

"No, that's not enough. I want three divisions to be in a position that's defensible enough."

"... what?

This one does have only 8,000 power.

But there's no way the Imperial Army would know about that. If you try to be an Imperial Army, you should be alert to the defeated Rosenstock Legion that if the Yogihes Legion, which was left as a reserve, merges, you can have enough great power.

During that alert, if a massive defensive position appears in front of you... believe me, this one has a lot of power, and you may wait for the offense.

"Slightly hopeful observation, don't even think about it. You expect the enemy to misidentify you, don't you?

"Regardless, I will make an effort to deceive you. Allow His Excellency the Brigadier General to conduct adequate marching training for the soldiers under his command, beside building positions. That's enough to make it look like many troops are marching from the enemy."

"............ I see. You're a top con artist."

It kind of hurts Brigadier General's eyes. Stop, don't look at me like that.

But, well, I guess this is still a shortage. It is wrong to expect the enemy to be stupid.

So let's not spare any cloth stones.

"Radek. I want you to collect as much supplies as you can from nearby villages and settlements. I want you to bring a lot of cloth and stuff like that."

"What? Do you even make it in Sayamako?

"Too bad. Build a regimental flag. I won't make it an elaborate design, but it won't be seen from a distance"

A regimental flag is an army flag that, as its name suggests, is given to each regiment.

The design of the flag varies from regiment to regiment, making it a pride of the regiment and an essential part of the discipline, morale and, above all, command and control of the regiment.

Therefore, if such a thing is set up in a large defensive position for three divisions, and there are many armies to march on (it looks like), it is also a misidentification.

Mm, I'll push it even further.

"Rumors circulate to villages and settlements that have not alienated or set themselves up in areas where they do not alienate. Specifically, 'the Royal Army is gathering its strength and preparing to fight back', 'its power is over 30,000', and so on. I'll leave them to Sarah's cavalry."

"... What, do I have to do something plain like that?

"It's okay, don't worry. One way or the other, this is about the other."

Of the 8,000 battle forces, 3,000 are cavalry and 5,000 are infantry and sorcerer. Whatever you think, the latter is the main force, but in this case Sarah's cavalry regiment is the key.

"The elite cavalry regiment that Sarah and Sarah raised depends on. Depends, this scam will succeed"

"Then you have no choice! What am I supposed to do?

Sarah's face waiting for my explanation with her nose rough is adorable on the dependable. It's kind of fun to tell her about the operation like that.
