Chapter 539 Secondary City
The struggle between great powers.

The loyal and righteous man is dead!
As long as he can gain enough benefits or lead the war to victory, Vega will not only harm his allies, but when he goes crazy, he will even dare to bury the ruthless and ungrateful people with his own hands.

Killing one person is considered a crime, killing ten thousand people is considered a hero.

Now, all nations only remember Vega's bravery. Who would care about the mistakes Vega has made so far? Humans are creatures that only focus on the results, not the process.

Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity, Vega began to lead his army to attack secondary strategic cities.

Near the city of Kaleni, in the northern hinterland, there are thirteen secondary strategic cities, and each secondary city now has a garrison of about a division.

In the empire's original defense system.

No matter which direction you attack these secondary cities from, even if you occupy one of them, Kareni's air force and army can arrive within a day and strike a thundering blow to the army that dares to invade the secondary city, so that you will lose more than you gain. After all, the Empire is almost invincible in conventional warfare, not to mention in their home turf.

This is Kareini's defense system.

This defense system is somewhat similar to the Saint Laurent Defense System that the dynasty is proud of. When the empire was planning northern cities, it borrowed from the Saint Laurent Defense System of the dynasty to a certain extent.

But they are only similar in appearance, but they are completely different in actual use.

Because there is a fatal difference between the Kareni defense system and the Saint Laurent defense system -

The location of the core city.

In the Saint Laurent defense system, the city of Saint Laurent is located at the center of the defense system and is heavily guarded by satellite cities. The core city has powerful military forces that can provide support to satellite cities at any time.

But in Kareni's defense system, we can see that Kareni, the core city, is placed on the outside. Once Kareni City comes under a fierce attack, let alone asking him to allocate troops to support secondary cities, it would be good if he does not draw troops from secondary cities to support his core city.

So they look similar, but are actually very different.

And now is exactly the worst time for this defense system. With the kingdom's restraint, it means that all secondary cities can no longer get support from Kareni City. In addition, the support from Lopus City is of no help. If Vega chooses to attack at this time, almost no one can stop him.

Soldiers are valuable and quick.

That evening, Vega held a military meeting.

"General Riel Ka Luyin."

Vega looked at a middle-aged general in the third position on the right and said, "I now appoint you as the temporary commander-in-chief of the Air Force, responsible for the joint land and air operations of this war."

"Please give instructions, Your Highness."

This is a newly promoted lieutenant general. He is one of the officers promoted from colonel by Vega and is 100% loyal to Vega.

Vega nodded and said, "I need you to divide the three air forces into thirteen flight formations. Before the army attacks the secondary city, first carry out magical bombing on the enemy's defense line. The specific details will be handled by you independently."

"Yes, Your Highness, I promise to complete the task."

As soon as Lieutenant General Riel sat down, another Lieutenant General was called up by Vega.

He was the commander-in-chief of the First Army, General Balma Swilling, and he was also one of the oldest generals in the army. Vega did not pause for a moment and ordered smoothly: "General Balma, you will serve as the temporary commander-in-chief of the Army for this operation. I will temporarily transfer the command of the Second Army to you. Now please divide the 20 soldiers of the two armies into units and attack secondary cities head-on with the cooperation of the Air Force."

"Your Majesty, take your orders."

"I believe in your abilities."

Vega nodded and said, "But please allow me to say one more thing. I do not recommend the traditional formation of two magicians and ten professionals per regiment in the army. I personally suggest that General Balma should leave the brigade-level advanced forces alone and select all the professionals and magicians from the regiment-level forces to form a vanguard force, so as to open a breakthrough as quickly as possible after the air force magic bombing."

This is the tactical theory of Kingdom Blitzkrieg.

Wang Guo believes that traditional combat methods have seriously buried the mobility of the air force and advanced forces. To a certain extent, the army cannot keep up with the high mobility of the air force. After the air force bombing, it often causes an offensive gap, allowing the enemy to recover and organize a defensive formation.

But at this time, the advanced armed forces can fully connect with the air force's mobility.

If high-level forces were allowed to form a separate unit, they would have time to forcibly tear apart the enemy's temporary defense line after the air force's magic bombing, split the formation and break through the enemy's rear command post, or simply turn around and cooperate with ordinary troops to carry out encirclement and suppression.

The Kingdom's fighting style works every time.

Of course, this tactic of the air force plowing the ground, high-level forces crushing the front line, and ordinary troops catching up from behind is not without natural enemies. Once the enemy uses the complex terrain of the city to conduct guerrilla warfare, this tactic will be completely ineffective and may even backfire.

Fortunately.

All nations are still stuck at the level of head-on confrontation. The only one who has thoroughly understood Vega's guerrilla warfare theory, accepted the most advanced combat thinking, and applied this guerrilla thinking to actual combat is probably Chief of Staff Clemens in the city of Kareni.

"Everyone!"

"As you can see!"

After completing all the work arrangements, Vega stood up and said loudly: "The world war has officially begun. The Free Alliance's million-strong army has destroyed 19 cities in the southwest of the Empire under the Sunset Fortress. The Principality of Baya can still contain 15 elite troops of the Empire in the northwest with its weak force, and the United Kingdom has invaded the city of Kareni overnight. Even Lord Okasos took the city of Erkia in the Empire by himself. Only we..."

"It's just us!"

Vega slammed the table and said in a sharp voice: "We are the only ones who have not achieved any success since the start of the war! Therefore, in the battle for the secondary cities the day after tomorrow, I would like to ask the two commanders to capture thirteen cities of the empire in one night to enhance the military power of our dynasty!"

"I will definitely live up to my official position!"

A group of generals in the command room stood up and shouted "Long live the dynasty".

Seeing that everyone was ready for war, Vega said, "Please rest assured, Generals. I will personally lead the army to the Balkan town to build a defense line to stop the Imperial Army from Rops City. I will ensure that no air force or army will be allowed to interfere with your operations."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The two commanders looked at each other and understood that this war was Vega's way of testing their true strength. If they made mistakes in such an easy war, they would never be able to command a war again in their lives.

This was extremely cruel for an officer.

Therefore, the two did not dare to underestimate this war, but were 100% vigilant to fight this battle that they were sure to win.
