Black Iron’s Glory

The 448th chapter of the Spike Squadron

"Generals, the enemy set up a very wide line of warnings around their camps. From the seaside to the mountains in the east, all the commanding heights have their guard posts. In addition, they also arranged more than ten squad patrol cavalry, basic Every fifteen minutes will be inspected at various commanding heights. We can't find a route that allows us to cross this warning range. If there are fewer people, we may be able to lurk in the past, but many people cannot be found. ..."

Listening to the report of the captain of the reconnaissance squad, Claude had some headaches. He did not expect to spend ten days rushing to the northern mountainous border but heard such bad news. More than a dozen reconnaissance squads have been lurking for two days on the northern mountainous border and reached the same conclusion. The captain standing in front of Claude was the only one who took his team to the depth of the warning and could not be repelled by the enemy. He knew the enemy's warning arrangement more clearly.

This reconnaissance squad is the Thunder One, Three, and Three Regiment. The captain is a veteran officer. He is a veteran who is very valued by Colonel Diavid. Claude also knows. If he is not illiterate, he should be a lieutenant with his merits in these colonial wars, instead of always holding the rank of the chief of the sergeant and acting as the captain of the reconnaissance squad.

It seems that the two standing Legion of the Hicks have not been huddled in their camps, but have extended their warnings to the boundaries of the entire northern coastal mountains. Claude wants to quietly lead a division's troops through their warning circle to attack the Hicks General Logistics Base camp near the Lodx Bay City. It seems that it is not an easy task. The conclusion of reconnaissance is bound to be detected by the enemy...

The officer of the old sergeant took out a thin book from his own arms. After opening it, he began to mark the border map with the signs of the sentinel and the patrol team set by the Hicks in the warning range. This is the result of the reconnaissance obtained by his reconnaissance squad in the warning range of the enemy. It needs to be marked one by one on the map.

Crowder was a little surprised and asked: "Mleck, have you learned to draw literacy?"

The officer of the old sergeant replied with a stern answer: "The above officer urged me to learn. I learned three words a day. I have been studying for a year, and I can read the newspaper. It is very slow. Colonel Diavid said that I only have to Through the literacy exam, I was promoted to the Kingdom of Shaohao..."

However, the official of the old sergeant did not take this opportunity to talk to Crowder a few words. Instead, he pointed his hand to the border map: "General, this time I used this dry river ditch to sneak into the enemy's warning range to complete the reconnaissance mission. However, the enemy set up three police guard posts on the two sides of the Cognac River. There is a small team stationed there. Our reconnaissance squad is using the night when passing through the three police whistle ports. Only to avoid the enemy's inspection. This dry river ditch has a depth of about three to four meters, and it needs to be bent forward to be discovered by the enemy..."

This Cognac River Ditch can indeed pass the entire warning circle set by the Hicks, but there are two problems. First, it is necessary to unplug the three guard posts placed next to the river bank. The three guard posts can be moved. The post will be discovered by the enemy of the Thunder Legion. Don't treat the enemy as an idiot. It is easy for a division's troops to leave traces of marching. A little bit of enemies can think about what Crowder wants to attack...

Claude wanted to attack the Hicks General Logistics Base camp near the Bay City of Rodex, relying on surprises and attacks. If it is discovered by the enemy, the eagle's letter is much faster than the army's march. When Claude arrives, it is likely to face the enemy's strong defense and tenacious defense. The most circumstance was that the Hicks took the opportunity to mobilize the two mountain forces on the eastern mountain front and the northern border to prepare to encircle Claude, a deep enemy.

Although Claude is not afraid of the enemy's many people, he also has the confidence to forcibly capture the Hicks' total logistics base. However, his strategic planning has become completely in vain. Maybe you have to rely on the enemy's total logistics base to defend against the enemy's two-way attack. Even if you can kill the encirclement, the casualties of the troops will be great. This is not the result that Claude is willing to see. The most important thing is that he can't grasp the initiative of the battlefield.

"Let's find General Albert, and Lieutenant Blovik, the squadron leader of the Spike Squadron, who stayed in the Legion of the Thunder." Claude succinctly issued to the lieutenant Lieutenant Colonel Anders. command.

Blovik soon rushed to Claude here, and he saluted Claude: "General, please give instructions!"

This is wartime, even if Blovik is Claude's younger brother, he still has to call Claude in accordance with the regulations of the military. Claude nodded slightly, indicating that he was waiting next to him.

General Albert was in the rear, and it took about half an hour to arrive. Crowder will soon explain to them the situation: "We have to change the scheduled plan. After I lead the Thunder first division to pass the enemy's warning range, you will immediately lead the troops to the Hicks. The circle launched a full-scale attack, forcing the enemy to take back the security guard posts set up on the periphery, and to see if there were troops passing their warning lines.

If the enemy's large army is out, you can directly attack the headache. I will give you a battalion and half of the sniper team with the new rifle. I believe that the enemy will not be our opponent in the field. But what you should pay attention to is that you can't attack the enemy's camp. It consumes our strength in vain. The enemy is the strength of the three divisions, and you only have one division. It is your mission to contain and harass the enemy.

When I burned the grain and military supplies stored in the large logistics base of the Hicks General Logistics Base, no matter how many reinforcements the Hicks sent here, you should not act rashly. When I ambush the road reinforcements and attack the enemy's camp from behind, the enemy may think that they are on the road. You are attacking and attracting their attention. They will use my side as the main force of the offense, turn the focus of the defense to the rear, and relax your vigilance against you. At this time, you will force yourself to attack each other before and after, and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop..."

General Eblon nodded. "I understand what you mean, rest assured, I will do what you want."

Claude turned to his younger brother, Blovik: "Lieutenant Blovik, your mission is to lead your squadron of squadrons and unplug the three enemy squadrons next to the dry river ditch. Pretending to be an enemy's alert squad, fooling the enemy's patrol cavalry, guarding our large forces through the enemy's alert range, preventing the enemy from perceiving our movements. Remember, during the mission, I don't want to hear the gunshots. ......"

Blovik salutes the two generals: "Yes, promise to complete the task."

Claude pointed to the old gentleman who stood there without saying: "His name is Mleck. You can be your guide. Go ahead and prepare. Go away in the dark. Also, I don't want to hear the gunshots. It doesn't mean you can't shoot. As long as there is a threat to the squadron of the Spike, you can shoot and destroy the enemy first. I hope you understand that the life of any soldier in the Spike Squadron is more precious than the enemy generals... ..."

Blovik and the governor of the old man saluted together and retired silently.

General Albert said with a smile: "You are too harsh on your brother, always let him perform such a dangerous task. I have misunderstood you to pick the most elite soldiers from the entire army. A Spike Squadron is to protect your younger brother. Later I realized that you are not protecting your younger brother, but forging the sharpest sharp knife of our Thunder Army. Soldiers say that the Spike Squadron is the Squadron Squadron, only the best. Soldiers can join, but unfortunately the cost is too high..."

It is indeed high, the most powerful fighting master of the whole army, the sharpshooter is in it, the new rifle is also the first equipment, the bullets let go of training. Each person is also equipped with a revolver, which is higher than the junior lieutenant officer of the Legion. The cost of raising a squadron can raise two and a half battalions, but Claude has tried to make the squadron of the squadron the first special force in the world, and spends too much money.

"Training for the first time, use it for a while." Claude said: "This money is worthwhile. If it is not a squadron, then do you think there are other troops that can undertake such a task? The general reconnaissance unit, let They attacked the three enemy guard posts, and they probably fired at the first time, which alerted all the enemies. We don’t want to quietly pass the enemy’s alert line, and we don’t know the enemy’s Go behind...

You are also going to prepare, so that the reconnaissance units of the units in the second division are lurking close to the enemy's guard post. If you hear a gunshot from the squadron of the Spike, immediately shoot the enemy and confuse the enemy. Let the enemy think that we launched a large-scale attack on the guard post, not just to remove the three guard posts next to the Cognac River. ”

"Yes, General." General Albert was very negligent and went back.

Waiting is a very anxious thing. To be honest, Claude really wants to act with his brother, Blovick. Only now that he has a high degree of weight, it is impossible to go through the first-line tasks and charge. Sometimes Claude really misses his time in the camp, as a small junior officer, he needs the battle of the leader to be at the forefront. At that time, he did not need to consider so many problems, and he did not have such heavy pressure...

In a cranky thought, Crowder finally fell asleep, and when he was awakened by the aide of Anders, he was already dark.

"What time is it?" Crowder took the towel from the aide of Anders and wiped his face casually.

"Reporting the general, it is now one and twenty-seven minutes in the middle of the night." Anders deputy official is reporting.

When Claude glanced, he was furious: "I actually slept for nearly eight hours. Why don't you wake me up?"

"I didn't let Lieutenant Colonel Anders call you," said General Albert. "You haven't slept for a few hours a day, and you are always planning to defeat the Hicks." This way your body will not stand. It is rare that you will sleep so deep today, I told Lieutenant Colonel Anders not to wake you up, let you take a break.

At present, all the plans are going very well. The Spike Squadron has already removed the three guard posts from the Hicks in the Cognac River. No shots and no casualties. The rest is to see how they deal with those patrols. The cavalry squad. Your first division of the Thunder, Colonel Berklin’s 301 has already followed the river ditch.

According to your instructions, all officers and men bite a branch in their mouths, lest they make a sound to alarm the enemy. Colonel Murray’s 312 is also ready to go, and then Diavi Colonel De's One, Three, Three, you walk with them, they are equipped with new rifles, security is more secure. So I only let Lieutenant Colonel Anders wake up now, you have to prepare, and you will leave soon. ”

In Shilihegou, Claude took nearly two hours to arrive. It was already four o'clock, and it was the darkest night. However, out of the river ditch is a large pine forest, the front of the troops into the woods do not have to worry about being discovered by the enemy. Because it is already four and a half miles away from the enemy camp, except for the Hicks logistics veterans who occasionally drive the wagons to cut down the branches as firewood, basically no patrol will come here.

Brother Brovik carried a few squadron soldiers standing in the last guard post to welcome Claude, and Claude smelled a lot of blood from his body. It seems that Blovik did not listen to his advice, and once again personally participated in the close fight.

Claude warned him that as the head of the most elite squadron of the whole army, he was responsible for the formulation and implementation of the plan, as well as the assignment of personnel and the remedial measures after the unexpected situation, instead of Think of yourself as a soldier. But Blovik is guilty of his own spells, and every time he performs a mission, he is a leader. Although this made him gain a high prestige in the Spike Squadron, it had a bad influence on his ability to cultivate his command.

Claude could only wrinkle his nose and pretend that he had not smelled anything: "After the passage of the 1304 group, you can disperse the guard posts sent by the Hicks who attacked other places. General Albert also will be in front of the second division's reconnaissance squad to cooperate with you to attack these guard posts. You only have to attack for half an hour, half an hour later, that is, you must evacuate before dawn, follow us. I will leave you in the direction of advancement, and I will leave you with a response person in front."

Blovik and the soldiers of the Spike Squadrons silently raised their hands to pay tribute to Claude. Claude discovered that the soldiers of these squadrons were all wearing various bows. He is very clear that these weapons are made by his younger brother, Anna, who is in the alchemy magical array. It is no wonder that he is confident that he will solve three enemy squads of three guard posts without a shot.

Five days later, Claude led the first division of the Thunder to the vicinity of the Hicks General Logistics Base Camp. It was very gratifying to see the enemy’s general logistics base battalion unguarded. Two kilometers away from the Grand Camp, the Rocky Bay City in the west is also a gate open. From time to time, officers of the Hicks Kingdom ride horses or take a horse-drawn carriage to Rodex Bay City.

"It seems that the logistics officer of the logistics transport team that we captured two days ago did not lie. The enemy did not know that we were coming. He confessed that the battalion received reports from two standing corps stationed on the northern mountain border. They were To the harassment-like attack in our territorial war zone, we lost nearly one brigade's strength, hoping that the general logistics base can send them a batch of iron pumpkins for defense. The chief officer of the logistics base camp said that the current capacity is tight. It will take a few days to get off..."

Colonel Berklin and others stood next to Claude, and they were using binoculars in their hands to look at the enemies in the distance. Two days ago, when I was on the road, I happened to run into a Hicks logistics and transportation fleet with more than 170 carriages. The **** team had only one Hicks veteran battalion.

So Colonel Berklin, who opened the road, commanded the Thunder 301 squad to successfully ambush the team, killing the Hicks Logistics Department as the deputy after the Hicks veteran’s defensive enemy battalion commander was killed. The deputy officer of the army simply ordered the still alive soldiers to surrender and save his life.

After the war, Colonel Berklin personally reviewed the officer of the Hicks Logistics Department. From his mouth, he knew that the military supplies on the transport team were all trebuchet-style throwers and iron pumpkins, which were transported to the eastern mountainous border. . It is said that the eastern mountain front is currently on the battlefield against the army of the directly-led war zone. This thrower and iron pumpkin are the biggest consumables. The front line commander sent three eagle letters a day, asking the rear battalion to do as soon as possible. Fifty throwers and more iron pumpkins are delivered to the front line...

The head of the Hicks Logistics Department also confessed that the division guarding the battalion of the general logistics base, in addition to the veteran battalion annihilated by the ambush, there were two battalion escorts to the front line did not return, the rest They all stayed in the big camp to bury a ale gambling or something, no one cares about the defensive things, the gates of the big camp at night are not closed...

The main reason is because the officers of the squadron's regiment level and the officers of the battalion logistics department are used to going to the Rocky Bay City in the evening to find a woman to drink and have fun. Like this time, he was lucky in the lottery, and he was unlucky enough to take the errands of the transportation team to the front line, and he took himself into a prisoner.

Crowder put down the monocular in his hand and gave orders to the senior officers of the first division of the Thunder Corps who stood next to him: "Let the soldiers take a rest, at 11 o'clock in the evening, start attacking the enemy. The total logistics base is a big camp!"
