Chapter 162 The battle begins

After a day of preparation.

Both the relocation of the Imperial Army to its new hiding place and the preparations for seizing control have been completed.

The new hiding place of the imperial army is now the military air-raid shelter No. 2.

The entrance to this air-raid shelter is at the Trial Building. If it were Bruno himself, he could certainly find this place easily, but since Bruno is already dead, it is difficult for the kingdom troops to find this secret location when they are unfamiliar with the area.

So the next night, the experimental operation to seize the air-raid shelter began.
This time, Vega did not lead the charge himself, but sat in the temporary combat command center, responsible for taking on the supreme command of this mission.

Since this was only an experimental operation and a full-scale operation had not been launched, the troops dispatched were 1500 people, and the goal of the mission was to capture 20 air-raid shelters in the northern district.

In these 20 air-raid shelters, a company of the Royal Army is stationed in each of them.

In other words, Vega had to use less than half the enemy's strength to force the Kingdom Army to abandon their garrison in the air-raid shelter.

Of course it would be easy if we just defeated the enemy.

After all, the strength of a company is not that strong. The real problem is that the enemy has a large number of support troops that can be deployed to the battlefield at any time. Once they are surrounded or caught up by the magician, they will probably be destroyed.

But Vega is full of confidence.

It is true that the Kingdom Army has support troops, but the problem is that Vega wants to conduct guerrilla-style harassment warfare and has not thought about killing all the Kingdom soldiers in the air-raid shelter in a short period of time. He wants to see how long the Kingdom Army can hold out.

in short.

The idea he instilled in his soldiers was that if they could win, they should fight, and if they couldn't, they should run away, and that tiring the enemy was the main goal, and annihilating the enemy was the secondary goal.

"Report to the commander, all teams are in place."

The messenger entered the temporary combat command center and reported to Vega.

Vega said to the three generals and two brigade commanders sitting on both sides of the round table: "If everyone thinks it's okay, then let's start the battle."

"We are only here to learn from this battle. Captain Vega is the master in everything." One of the generals of the general staff spoke up, obviously trying to shirk responsibility. They still didn't believe in Vega's tactics.

Vega didn't care. He gave the order: "Notify everyone and start the battle."

When the messenger received the order and walked out the door, Vega also stood up and walked towards the second floor of the temporary combat command center.

Seeing Vega's actions, everyone in the command center had a hint of doubt in their eyes: "Captain Vega, the operation is not over yet, where are you going? As a combat commander, it would be bad to leave your post without permission."

"Clam?"

Vega looked at them with an idiotic look: "Generals, have you really studied my tactical theory seriously?"

"It's different from the usual way of fighting."

Veigar said as he walked: "In this guerrilla operation, each guerrilla team has the right to act independently. The specific operations still depend on them. We just need to ensure the supply of resources to the supply points. Guerrilla warfare itself takes a long time. This battle will take more than three days to finish. I advise you to go to bed as soon as possible."

Everyone was silent as they watched Vega disappear at the end of the stairs.

The Brigadier General looked at everyone and said, "My dear colleagues, what do you think of Captain Vega's combat methods?"

"The team is simply courting death by fighting on its own."

"Guerrilla tactics are pure nonsense. I think we should just wait here for news."

"Yes, I also think that this battle is doomed to fail, and you all need to make up for it."

"Then please wait patiently, generals." Gunther yawned and said, "Anyway, I don't have any troops, and I absolutely believe in Captain Vega's battle plan, so please allow me to rest first. Good night, everyone."

Da da da--

Gunther also disappeared in the temporary command center, leaving only four officers who firmly believed that the battle was doomed to fail to guard it quietly.

stab-

A gust of cold wind blew into the command room through the leaky window. The winter nights in Kalini were particularly cold, and they couldn't help shivering.

"Captain, the order has been given, the battle begins."

A soldier in his 20s came to the captain and reported, glancing at the air-raid shelter in the distance: "Captain, are we really going to poke that hornet's nest? There are only 10 of us."

"Are you afraid?"

The team leader fiddled with his crossbow, then glanced at his team members with disdain.

The people who could serve as the captain this time were all from Wolfe's subordinates, that is, the soldiers who participated in the last guerrilla mission. And this team leader was none other than the soldier who changed from a coward to a warrior and considered himself to be cannon fodder.

He was very grateful to Vega for being able to survive the last battle.

He sincerely thanked Vega for allowing a loser like him to trample the kingdom's elite troops underfoot.

He was especially grateful to Vega for allowing him, a cannon fodder, to experience the taste of victory.

In order to thank Vega and to participate in the war commanded by Vega again, this time he was the first to actively apply to go to war under the surprised eyes of soldiers from other troops. Or maybe it seemed to the people in other troops that he was simply crazy, as he was in a hurry to die instead of doing anything else.

But is it really a suicide mission?
Only those who have never experienced guerrilla warfare would think that this battle is a suicide mission.

None of the soldiers who followed Vega out of the central area felt that they were going to die. In their view, as long as the battle was commanded by Vega, they would believe that they would win even if the number of enemies was ten times theirs.

Where does the confidence come from?

Anyone who asks this kind of question will definitely not understand that the word "Vega" is synonymous with miracle.

As a cannon fodder, he has been lost for too long.

Now it's time to experience the taste of victory again as cannon fodder B. He will trample the self-proclaimed strong Kingdom Army under his feet again. After the Empire takes back Kareni, he will proudly tell his family that under the leadership of that little devil officer, he defeated the Kingdom Army that was several times larger than his own and saved the entire city of Kareni!

"Gentlemen, do you desire war?"

Licking his scarlet lips, the captain said in a hungry voice: "You may think I'm crazy, but I have been longing for this battle for so long. Even in my dreams, I long for that commander to lead me to victory again."

“Today, I finally got what I wanted.”

He inserted an arrow into the crossbow and aimed it at the Kingdom soldier standing guard at the cave entrance: "Although he looks like just a little devil, please believe our Captain, this battle will not be lost, we will fight for victory!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the team leader stood up from his hiding place, and a crossbow arrow shot out from the crossbow in his hand.

call out--

The crossbow arrow pierced the enemy's neck, and another kingdom soldier sounded the alarm immediately.

This shrill alarm officially announced that the prelude to the Empire's counterattack had begun.
