Crossing A Small Country And Developing GDP To The First Place

(PS: Situation sketch, open the paragraph review to view)

Buginia and Canal.

From north to south,

The border is nearly 800 kilometers long.

It started on February 14, when the first artillery shell fell on the territory of Burkina.

This war has been going on for two full weeks.

In 14 days, a total of about 12,000 soldiers from both sides were killed, and an average of about 857 soldiers lost their lives on the battlefield every day.

According to data from World War II,

The ratio of killed to injured was about 1:3. That is to say, in addition to the 12,000 soldiers killed in action, a total of about 36,000 soldiers on both sides were injured.

The Burkinian Ministry of National Defense does not have accurate information on the specific data of Ganar, but they still know the number of casualties.

During these 14 days.

Burkina has successively invested 9 infantry brigades and 1 light armored brigade.

A total of 13,247 soldiers were injured or killed, including 2,146 killed, 973 seriously injured, and 10,128 slightly injured.

“Is this… are we too strong? Or is Ganal too weak?”

Looking at the data in his hand, Carteret, as the Minister of Defense, was a little confused.

Although the casualty ratio between the two sides seems to be only 1:2.6, if only the death ratio is calculated, the ratio between the two sides will reach an astonishing 1:4.6!

In other words, the sacrifice of one Buginian soldier can be exchanged for the lives of 4.6 Canal soldiers.

“Under the instructions of the president, all soldiers in our army are equipped with body armor and bulletproof helmets. This should be an important reason why we had 13,000 casualties, but only 2,146 soldiers unfortunately died.”

“I think so too. On the contrary, the North Intelligence Agency claimed to fully support Ganar, but in the end they were reluctant to equip the enemy with body armor and only issued a steel helmet to each soldier.”

“In the eyes of the French, Canal’s soldiers are not human beings at all. I guess this is why they have collected so many aircraft, tanks and artillery for Canal, but are not willing to issue an extra body armor.”

Several military staff officers gave their own explanations one after another.

“Minister Carteret, can we order the troops to try to launch a counterattack and test the strength of Ganar’s rear defense line?”

Claude, who was standing aside, also gave his advice.

“I agree with Lieutenant General Claude’s idea.”

“You can indeed try to launch a counterattack!”

“If we can’t win, we will continue to defend.”

Barr, Alexander and others, who were transferred to the Ministry of Defense together with Claude, also followed suit.

“It seems like you can really give it a try!”

“It’s so frustrating to be on defense all the time.”

“The president has said that the best defense is offense!”

Not only them, but other officers also recognized Claude’s suggestion and expressed their support.

Carteret looked at the data in his hand, then looked back at the military map on the wall. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and made a decision:

“Then order the 15th Infantry Brigade to take over the 5th Infantry Brigade’s defense line, and have the 5th Infantry Brigade withdraw for two days to repair and replenish its troops.

Two days later, the 5th Infantry Brigade and the 4th Light Armored Brigade were ordered to launch a tentative attack on the rear defense line of Ganar under the cover of the air force! ”

…

Two days later,

March 1, 7:30 am.

“boom–”

“boom–”

“boom–”

Under the cover of air force and artillery fire, the 5th Infantry Brigade and the 4th Light Armored Brigade launched a tentative attack on Ganar’s rear defense line.

“???”

“!!!”

Because Ganal did not expect that Buginia would dare to launch an attack, they did not seriously build their defenses at all.

The most outrageous thing is.

A small number of Ganar’s soldiers were still sound asleep when the tanks of the 4th Light Armored Brigade rushed into their faces, thinking that they were friendly tanks.

Even when they were woken up by the sound of the engine, all they did was turn over, plug their ears, and continue to sleep soundly!

When the Buginian infantry who coordinated the attack pointed their guns at them, they realized what had happened, and then decisively raised the “French flag.”

“Uh…what do we do now?”

The deputy commander of the 4th Light Armored Brigade asked the brigade commander.

Originally, they were just following the national defenseFollowing the order of the Ministry, a tentative attack was launched against the defense line of Ganar.

They were even prepared to retreat immediately if their attack was thwarted.

result–

They actually penetrated Ganal’s defense without any effort! ?

for a time,

The regimental and battalion commanders of the 4th Light Armored Brigade were confused and had no idea what to do next. They could only send inquiry telegrams to the brigade headquarters.

“…”

Upon hearing the deputy brigade commander’s inquiry, Durand, as the brigade commander, couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Because he didn’t know what to do next.

The original plan was just to give it a try, but with this try, Ganal’s defense was immediately put to the test! ?

No one told him that Ganal’s defense was made of paper!

But Durand knew very well that the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and he might not even have time to ask the Ministry of Defense. He had to make a decision immediately.

After thinking for a minute, Durand made a decision:

“Immediately report the current situation to the Ministry of National Defense, and at the same time send a telegram to the 5th Infantry Brigade, telling them that we are preparing to attack Jenenin directly, occupy the city before Ganal can react, and cut off the enemy’s railway lines and Highway lines.”

“Yes, Brigadier!”

…

The commander of the 5th Infantry Brigade, who also didn’t know what to do, immediately made a decision in his mind after receiving the telegram from Durand:

“Immediately call back to the 4th Light Armored Brigade. Our 5th Infantry Brigade will do our best to ensure the safety of their rear route, so that they can attack Jenenin boldly and confidently!”

“Yes, Brigadier!”

…

Dugagu, Presidential Palace.

The Ministry of National Defense, which received the telegram, was first shocked, then questioned the authenticity of the telegram, and then also fell into brief confusion:

“No? We did think that Ganal’s strength might not be as strong as we initially expected, but it wouldn’t be so weak, right?”

“They are not weak, but they simply underestimated the enemy! They thought that we only dared to defend and did not dare to attack, so they didn’t even build much rear defense fortifications.”

“Then what should we do now? The 4th Light Armored Brigade is now on its way to attack Jenenin. How about calling them back?”

“No! Although Durand’s move is very risky, the benefits are also amazing.”

“I think we should immediately order all the troops on the front line to launch a full-scale attack on the defense line of Ganar and coordinate with the 4th Light Armored Brigade!”

“I agree. Since the enemy looks down on us, we should launch a full-scale offensive now before the enemy reacts, and don’t give them a chance to make amends!”
