Mage Veigar

Chapter 239: Attack in groups
The national war begins.

There are a total of 4 officers participating in the competition this time, and the other 3 are all third-year students who are about to graduate. As long as they can pass the national war, it means that they have already secured the position of general in advance.

Because the promotion ratio this time is 4:1.

Only one of the four people can advance to the final general battle.

The most important thing is that this war has no time limit. When the total share of medium-sized and larger cities in any country drops to 1%, it means that the country has been defeated and will be automatically eliminated.

As soon as you enter the land of war.

The four countries did not start a war immediately, but instead learned about their own situation.

Know thyself, ever-victorious.

Vega learned that the country's area was only about half the size of the empire, with about 315 medium-sized cities, 10 of which were super-heavy cities with crystal hubs, but there were no war colossi like the imperial capital.

Because the general's plan only assesses war.

Therefore, the military resources of each country will be automatically refreshed in various important cities. There are about 400 million main forces in the country, including local troops stationed in cities and army groups that participate in the war as the main force.

Each army group has about 16 people, with 7-10 standard divisions and an aviation brigade under its jurisdiction. Of course, there are also large army groups with a total strength of more than 24 troops and small and medium-sized army groups with a strength of about 6 troops and no aviation forces.

From ourselves to others, the other three countries are similar.

After Vega understood the distribution of troops, he looked at the map of the competition and found that this map was simply a condensed version of the Galan Continent. His country was densely covered with mountains and forests, with relatively few plains, and was an inland country.

Seeing this, Vega frowned.

Being a landlocked country means that he will be surrounded by enemies on all sides. If the other three countries attack him together, he will be at the receiving end of the attacks. He will inevitably be unable to focus on one thing while neglecting another. It is not impossible that he will be the first officer to be eliminated.

What to do?
Vega stared at the map and fell into deep thought. He had no good idea for the moment.

It is extremely difficult to fight against three countries with the strength of one country, especially when the military strength and resources of each country are the same. A war on a national scale is not as easy to turn around as a war on the regiment or division level.

But thanks to the fact that the others are virtual officers without minds.

In this war, Vega can enforce his orders, that is, as long as he issues an order in the capital, the armies in various places will act according to his orders at the first time, and he can also stay in the imperial capital to win the battle thousands of miles away.

After several days of thinking.

Vega regarded the three surrounding countries as imaginary enemies that would form an alliance to attack him, and eventually formulated a series of combat plans, which he named the Turtle Plan.

On the one hand, the various domestic army groups launched delaying operations on various fronts in the interior to delay the pace of attack by various countries, while on the other hand, the most elite domestic troops were concentrated for mobile use to defeat the remaining three countries one by one.

This is like turning one's own country into a turtle.

Usually, it wraps itself in a thick tortoise shell to delay the enemy's troops outside the inner line, and at the same time uses its head to focus on attacking one of the enemies. After destroying the first country, it turns around to deal with other countries.

This was the only battle plan Vega could think of.

Of course, this plan is only based on the alliance of the other three countries. Maybe things are not so bad. There may be conflicts among these three people in reality, so they may become enemies as soon as they get here.

But luck is obviously unreliable.

On the 10th day after the national war began, a meeting between the three countries took place in a small town on the border.

Mandel, Thales, and Tavik were the other three officers participating in the national war. If it weren’t for the unexpected appearance of Vega, they might never have been able to sit together and chat happily like they do now.

All this is because——

The pressure that Vega put on them was too great.

From their humble beginnings in the first phase to their heyday in the second phase, the three of them witnessed the rise of a superb commanding genius. Especially in the third phase, they once lived under the shadow of Veigar.

Privately, the third-year students gave Vega an appropriate nickname - the devil. The devil not only wants to win the war, but also tortures you mentally to the point of wanting to die. Mandel and the other two still have the psychological trauma of being chased by Vega for more than three months.

therefore.

Before the national war began, the three of them had secretly contacted each other in reality. The purpose of the contact was self-evident.

Now that they had entered the war zone and understood the details of the national war, the three of them met again.

Captain Mandel said first: "I think everyone has understood the situation, and this time the goddess of luck seems to be on our side. Vega's territory is completely adjacent to our three countries. I will send 150 million troops to attack Vega from the east and northeast."

"Then I will also send 150 million troops to attack from the northwest."

"I attacked from the south, from the southwest."

The three of them all made public their battle plans, and they named this plan the Demon Hunting Plan.

The devil should be buried in the grave!

Therefore, seven days later, the three countries raised a total of 7 million troops and began to invade Vega's territory one after another. This number exceeded the total strength of Vega, including the local garrison forces.

The war rages.

Vega has been staring at the sand table all night without closing his eyes. The intelligence department's real-time front-line battle reports are sent to Vega without stopping for a moment, and Vega is testing the stability of the Turtle Project's internal line.

Veigar deployed 150 million troops in the delay operation.

In other words, an average of 50 people in three directions have to delay the attack of 150 million people, and then the main force composed of four air forces and two large army groups will flexibly select one of the countries to focus on attacking.

First, the delaying operation was very successful.

As the defending side, they already have certain advantages, and with 50 troops they can delay the enemy for at most two months.

At the same time, Vega chose the country where Mandel was located as his main target of attack.

Because according to the intelligence collected before the game, Mandel is the one with the worst command level among the three. At this time, they should do the easy things first and then the difficult ones. Vega should eliminate Mandel first.

The main force of about 50 troops advanced in the direction of Mandel.

On the fourth day, 4 main forces and another 50 troops that were in a delayed battle would launch an attack on Mandel. With Vega using the blitzkrieg theory against the enemy, he repelled 50 million attacking forces in just 15 days and launched an attack on Mandel's country in one go.

But at this moment.

Mandel's actions were beyond Vega's expectations.

Despite having all the advantages, Mandel actually backed down and adopted the same delaying tactic as him. He no longer fought a head-on battle with Vega, but instead focused on stalling for time.

Vega overestimated his own offensive ability and underestimated Mandel's defensive and delaying abilities. It was not until now that Vega truly realized that choosing Mandel as the first target of attack was the most wrong move.

Because every officer has strengths and weaknesses.

Although Mandel was very poor in conventional combat, he was second to none in defensive and delaying battles, which was why he was able to hold on to the end of the third stage. Vega had been unable to capture the city for a long time, and his main force had been stuck in the quagmire of the eastern battlefield.

The turning point of the war was around the 45th day of the national war.

Vega's army group responsible for delaying operations on the interior began to feel that it could not hold on, and cracks had already appeared on its turtle shell.

Fighting one against three is ultimately too difficult, and the chance of winning is less than a chance.

Vega sat in front of the sand table in the headquarters, with the real-time battle report and other documents scattered all over the floor. He couldn't even find a small place to rest. His eyes were bloodshot because he hadn't rested for a few days.
