Macho Wars

"Everyone, what do you think is our biggest advantage here?"

"It should be the physical fitness of the soldiers? Seriously, sir, you are about to train the kids below to become runners. We calculated that day. The recruits trained for 36 weeks and ran a total of 800 kilometers. I didn’t count the amount of training for obstacle crossing and climbing.”

"Physical fitness is indeed one aspect, but let me say that the real advantage is the discipline of our soldiers and the degree of organization that it brings. Will a group of organized wolves be afraid of a group of lax sheep?"

"But our opponent can't be considered a sheep, right?"

"Indeed, they are much stronger than sheep, but we are also much stronger than wolves. The first attack will give us more initiative in the next battle, and this is what I want."

Chapter 249

Early the next morning, the confrontation exercise officially began. The second battalion responsible for the surprise attack around the rear set off first, followed by the first and third battalions.The fourth battalion carried heavy weapons to a preset location to build a defensive position, and everything was carried out in accordance with the battle plan formulated by Dragon.

At the same time, on the other side, Alduin's department also launched operations.Relying on their own strength, they moved forward in three ways, each with two battalions on the left and right sides, and five battalions on the middle road, and they were arrogantly facing Dragon Anal in a positive posture.

Although the exercise is set to be an encounter battle, the two sides do not need to hold on to any area. There is only one condition for victory, and that is to find ways to make the enemy troops lose the ability to continue fighting.

In addition, the director department also specifically restricted the number of vehicles on both sides, each with only 50 military trucks and 15 jeeps, so most infantry can only move on their feet.

Alduin was born in infantry, and his best skills are positional warfare and fortified battles.Considering that the arms of both sides are roughly the same, both are a combination of infantry + artillery, and no one has heavy combat vehicles such as tanks, so more numbers means greater advantages.

Therefore, Alduin chose to take the initiative to attack, let his troops lay out the hall, diagonally into the exercise field.

If Dragun chooses to attack actively, they will definitely seize the opportunity to make full use of their own strength and backhand to defeat his attacking troops.

If Dragon chooses to stay still, his range of activity will gradually be divided and compressed, and finally forced into a corner, allowing him to be surrounded and wiped out.

Alduin's self-confidence lies in that he doesn't feel that the forces that Dragon carefully built will be strong enough to crush the soldiers he has trained.He has seen the training outline developed by Dragon before. Although it is not a problem to focus on the physical fitness of the soldiers, there are too many "meaningless" training programs. It is not difficult to compare the training time of the two sides. Out.

In addition to physical fitness, other training items related to actual combat are that Alduin has more troops, which are on average about 20-25% higher than Dragoon.

Alduin was surprised to find that out of the 36-week training set by Dragon, as many as 14 weeks were teaching things that had nothing to do with "actual combat."

In addition to those harsh housekeeping regulations, Dragun also spent a lot of time on improving the literacy level of soldiers, and teaching grass-roots soldiers some tactical knowledge that only lieutenants in military schools would use.

This is an overstepping in Alduin's view, and may even affect the obedience of the soldiers.

A truly outstanding soldier needs to be brave and fearless, and to obey the command of the chief in thought, rather than doubt his superiors.

Affected by these old ideas, Alduin did not believe that the group of soldiers under Dragon who spent their minds on folding quilts and shining shoes would be more combative than the young men who practice shooting and stab every day.

In this way, Alduin's troops marched wildly in the exercise area all morning.In order to avoid excessive physical energy consumption of soldiers, affecting the next possible battle, Auduin specifically asked the troops to control the marching speed, so he only advanced more than ten kilometers in the morning.

However, the Red Army troops had been "outing" for most of the day, but they had not even seen the shadow of the Blue Army troops, which made Auduin a little confused.

This Dragon... is that really so scary?

At this time, on the director's side, many military commanders who came to observe also surrounded the sand table, speculating about the tactics that the two sides might use next.

Thanks to the first-line referee team’s report every two hours, they were able to clearly see the movement between the two sides on the sand table, so when they gradually saw the intention of Dragoon led the Blues, they were shocked. jump.

"This Dragon, you are so courageous!"

"I don't know where his self-confidence came from. He actually used three thousand people to surround the seven thousand people of Duke Vakkan. I think he is not far from playing."

"Young man, still too young!"

The officers gathered together to talk in twos and threes, and everyone was generally not optimistic about Dragoon's play.

Although Alicia who was present did not understand military affairs, it was also generally seen from the deployment of the Blue Army on the sand table that Dragoon was about to encircle a Red Army with far more troops than his own, and could not help but become a little worried.

Karen on the side frowned her friend's brows, her face was full of unconcealed worry, she couldn't help but chuckle.

"Ellie, this is just an exercise, not actual combat. Colonel Li will have nothing to do with him."

"Hey? Ah no! I, I'm not worried about him, just feel... I feel a bit... ahem!"

Hearing Karen said that she was worried about Dragon, she subconsciously panicked, but after justifying her, she overreacted and coughed hurriedly to hide her embarrassment.

Since the attack on the inauguration ceremony last time, Dragon did not hesitate to protect herself with his body on the spot, Alicia seemed to have been touched, and began to pay special attention to Dragon and concerned about things related to him.

But unfortunately, one of them is the governor and the other is a high-ranking officer. They have their own busy schedules, so there are not as many opportunities to meet as before.

Like this military exercise, Alicia was originally not going to come over. After all, she didn’t understand the military and never intervened, but when she heard that the commander of the participating side turned out to be Dragon, she didn’t hesitate. accepted.

Seeing that the officers present didn't seem to look good at Dragon's tactics, Alicia was also anxious.

Fortunately, the criticism from the director's department did not affect Dragon, which was dozens of kilometers away.He has just received notification from the battalions that, except for the engineers of the fourth battalion who are still digging trenches for their lives, the first battalion at the beginning and the second battalion at the end are already in place, ready to attack at any time.

Dragon glanced at his watch. It was seven minutes before 12 noon. Alduin’s troops should be preparing for lunch, and he had already settled it quickly with the pre-prepared dry food as early as 10:30. .

So Dragon immediately ordered the first battalion to let the leader immediately launch a harassment operation by the Red Army.

Alduin was about to have lunch. Just as he was about to put the hot food of the orderly soldiers into his mouth, he heard the adjutant yelling anxiously from outside the camp.

"It's not good, Major General! Just twelve minutes ago, the Blue Army suddenly launched a surprise attack on my vanguard, and the Third Battalion had already fought them."

"Grass! I knew it."

Angrily dropping the spoon, Alduin had expected that Dragon might play "Xia San Lu" with him, launching a surprise attack while his troops were eating, and he was also prepared for this.

In the nine battalions on his side, he started eating lunch alternately. The two battalions were back to back in groups, one was eating and the other was next to guard.

However, just when Alduin was secretly proud of him, thinking that Dragoon's troops would suffer a big loss for his men because of risk, a panicked communicator ran in and told him an unexpected bad news.

The first two battalions... were defeated!

Chapter 250

"what did you say!?"

Hearing that he had two battalions in the first place and was defeated by the Blues in less than fifteen minutes, Alduin's face showed an expression of disbelief.

Because in his opinion, his two battalions combined have more than 1,500 people, unless they are suddenly attacked by a large-scale armored force in the open plain area, it is impossible to collapse so quickly.

Therefore, with only infantry and artillery units on both sides, even if Dragon put all his troops into battle in one go, forming a four-on-two situation, these two battalions should be able to last a long time.

After all, exercises are not actual combat. Officers and soldiers will explode with the utmost courage when there is no threat to their lives. It is a common occurrence to fight from death to the last person.

Seeing his ugly face, the adjutant added hastily.

"General, the vanguard collapsed so quickly, it's not that our soldiers didn't work hard, but...how can the Blue Army have biological and chemical weapons!"

"Biochemical weapons? What a joke! Are the field referees in the Director's Department blind? How can they condone the Blues to use that kind of stuff! His grandma, immediately contact the Director's Department and ask them to suspend the exercise!"

Hearing the adjutant talking about biological weapons, Alduin's expression was startled for a moment, and then turned into irresistible anger.

Under normal circumstances, exercises do use biological and chemical weapons, but they are usually issued by the director department in the form of notifications. The attacked troops only need to complete the corresponding anti-chemical countermeasures within a limited time.
