Continental Hero Senki
unscrupulous battle
Winter in Silesia is cold.
The surface of the river freezes and the snow dances. Frostbite is frequent if you want to march or something.
In terms of replenishment, we are going to need usual munitions such as food, weapons, etc. Plus cold gear for winterization and fuel to get warmth.
We also know that the army of the Eastern Continental Empire, which is still a harsh cold country.
That is why it will be a battle with an emphasis on replenishment.
That is precisely why we occupied the harbour capital Gdansk. River transport is more efficient than carriages. Efficiency would be dropping more than in summer due to the river's frozen surface, but it would still be active.
"That's why it's a chance"
"... Opportunity?
Radek leaned his neck as he mouthed Atsuatsu's coffee.
December.
It is about to end this year early in the year. The Kingdom of Silesia is about to end as well. It may sound good when it comes to adhesion across the river, but it's a Silesian disadvantage.
The numerical disadvantage, of course, is difficult for Eastern Continental Imperial opponents colder than Silesia to have winter on their side.
I just want to make an ambush across the frozen river surface - but it's not that thick of ice, so I just freeze to death as soon as an equipped soldier sticks his foot in the river trying to walk.
Then there are only two options.
"Keep staring at each other across the river, this way or strike out"
"... That's what I'm saying, but I'm gonna hit it out, how? You're losing by number, aren't you? Yuzef taught me at school (here) that losing by number is quite a disadvantage."
"Yeah. So we just have to use the tactics carried out by the few to manage to drive our enemies back"
One is a thorough defense battle using terrain. In this case, the river.
But it won't last long. The law of triple attacker is well known, but strategically, a minute attacker who is free to set the battlefield
advantageous. It's only a matter of time before a river is broken through, not that it's absolutely impossible to cross it even if it's wide.
It's called the proactive law. Always take the lead against the enemy, crushing the enemy's thoughts or eliminating room to think about it.
As things stand, the lead in the war lies beyond. To take it back, we have to turn to offense from here.
But you can't just attack the dark clouds. Again and again, this one is at a few disadvantages.
"... what's the specific way?
"Basically, it's the same thing we did in the Lake Atheni region the other day. Attack enemy supply lines and load enemy stations. When the opponent turns up the sound, go on offense and drive him back. That's all I've got so far."
In other words, it is guerrilla warfare. That's the best way for a few sides to beat the majority.
When I try to deal with the guerrillas, I will have to ask for reinforcements from the front lines if they are to be cracked down. The former, however, suffers from a shortage of frontal warfare and invites the attack, while the latter cannot ignore the overload on replenishment.
There is a greater load of supply lines than there has been in winter with more munitions needed. The time has come to restructure the chain of command of the Royal Silesian Army and to reinforce it from the Kingdom of Karlsbert.
"That's not to say, I don't have a problem"
"Problem?"
"Oh, it's a supply problem."
"... what?
"Radek, the supply officer, you know that, right? Difficulty replenishing troops away from the main unit to fight guerrillas on enemy land. Unlike in Atheni this time, across the river, completely enemy land. Besides, it's what we do once, so naturally, we're on guard."
"... Oh, you mean that"
Even though sending troops across the river is difficult in itself, there must be continuous replenishment from there.
Guerrilla warfare seems easy at first glance, but its actually very difficult. Build a base where soldiers can rest, secure supply lines, and develop escape routes. The problem can be solved if extremist religious organizations and militias carry out terror that dispossesses humans, but this is a guerrilla battle conducted by the regular army.
That's why I'm telling Radek about the abdominal proposal right now.
"Do something!
"Don't be impotent..."
"Do something there!
"I wouldn't be struggling if I could!
Radek cleaned up.
"I didn't have time to pull up the food I was storing in the east, and so did my weapons and equipment. He thinks he gave up how many carriages for cargo handling! Even though it's hard just to keep replenishing without delay on the front we have now, he says it's replenishing beyond the river!? The Imperial Army isn't the only one struggling in the winter!
"... excuse me"
"... no, this one got emotional too. But the impotence is impotent. Don't hit me."
As a supply officer, if a trusted friend says he's "impotent" and he's clean, he's impotent. The things you lose when you play a beating here are huge. Beyond the river is Sarah's cavalry.
When it does, the remaining options are…,
"Radek. Did I just say," Deep-fried supplies there, "you baked them all?
"... well. I'll let the enemy use you. You don't even have a stepdad, do you? You didn't mean to use that?
"No, I think it's a good job."
Even if it stayed, the Imperial Army would use it forever.
But that's not the problem.
"If Radek were an Imperial Army supply officer, how would he carry munitions?
"... I miss you, it"
"Do you miss it?"
"Ah."
Well, what is it about?
Twisting his neck, he's back about the war of nostalgia.
"In the Spring War, I said the same thing to His Highness Emilia. Think of it, the situation is similar..."
I realize hah when they say that much.
I read in the battle details, and I asked His Highness Emilia and others about the battle. The battle that caused the troops to make a huge detour and raid the enemy's rear supply base. At that time Radek recommended "where the base is and how to get through" by reading the status of the Imperial Army replenishment.
This time it's an array of applications. However, it was a one-time battle in the Spring War, but this one has to be done many times with a detached unit of supply.
This is also quite a beating...... I said, do you have any other hands?
Let's gather the necessary information and make a suggestion to General Yogihes. Because I don't know if this operation will pass or not, but if I don't suggest it, it's possible.
"... then do the same for me. There is also a lot of information in the country this time. If you mean a second time, it's pretty easy to do, right?
"............... let's try. Do you have an order for the information you need?
"Right. First of all..."
The two of us stare at the map and examine the status of the Imperial Army supply.
And in the corner of my head, I think of something else.
Sarah, we have to let the Kingsguard cavalry safely cross the river. That we need to deceive the eyes of the Imperial Army. Even Sarah, the military god, can't do it alone. So we have to support it.
It was that evening that an Imperial Army supply line prediction was made by Radek.
And it was the next morning that the manoeuvre that I thought of took on concrete form. It's been a while since I've been up all night.
It was another two days later, on 4 December, that those draft operations were approved.
