Conquer Europe from the West

Chapter 3 Maps, Tactics

As soon as these words were spoken, both Brinkman and the seven or eight soldiers under her command gasped on the spot.

They never imagined that the Farlans would be so insidious and come up with such tricky tactics targeting the empire's national defense strategy.

Especially Brinkman.

As a child of a military aristocratic family, even though she was a girl, Brinkmann received a complete military education.

Therefore, when Ryan said that the Farlans' tactics targeted the Empire's inner defense strategy, Brinkman was almost immediately controlled by his instincts.

Her big eyes rolled around, her brows furrowed, and she said from the corner of her mouth: "Then we must retake the command post immediately!"

"We escaped from the command post, and the enemy has now occupied the command post..."

The first sentence was addressed to Ryan, and the second sentence was addressed to herself and the soldiers.

"But we don't have enough weapons and ammunition." The soldier named Wolf spoke first.

Ryan then remembered that they only had eight guns in total.

But there were still enough grenades. Except for Ryan, everyone carried two wooden-handled grenades.

The only problem now is the number of enemies.

Ryan sat back on the wooden box where he started, thinking.

With more than 130 people, one person could kill himself and everyone else with one punch.

There is such a thing as the American King of Toughness. In reality, there may only be one such person among millions of people.

But there is no use just dreaming, Ryan can only pin his hopes on that system map.

Thoughts moved slightly.

The scene in front of him disappeared, and the camp map that he had just seen appeared again.

The difference is that compared to the previous picture, there is an extra row of small words at the bottom of the map this time.

[Mission Update: Recapture the Camp Command Post]

"Your mother still plays like this, right?"

Ryan almost couldn't hold it in and started cursing, his eyes looking at the map.

There are also some differences in the map.

The red dots that originally represented the Farlan troops have begun to split into two groups of red dots, one large and one small.

One part was still in its original position, while the other part had formed a bulge and was moving towards Ryan's position.

The time next to it has also changed, and now there are only 12 minutes left.

This gave Ryan a sense of déjà vu.

"Why does it look a bit like a battlefield map?"

But this is actually a good thing.

It's better than knowing nothing.

Facing the map, he fell into deep thought.

The enemy's main force is still in the northwest corner, which is the entrance to the camp.

Their speed hadn't changed much from a few minutes ago, and the vanguard troops didn't look like they had captured any prisoners - because they weren't moving very fast.

This shows that Ryan still has an intelligence advantage over the battlefield terrain, but it also indirectly shows that the quality of the enemy's troops is not low - they are advancing very cautiously, and do not have the low quality that appeared during the large-scale conscription in the late World War I.

"It seems that my previous inference was correct. Judging from their speed and movements, these people are elite."

Ryan withdrew his attention and began to look for the location of the command post on the map.

But this made him close his eyes immediately: "Fuck, are you kidding me?"

The command post was not located in the northwest corner, but about 500 meters to the north of Ryan and his team.

This is barely a good thing.

But the Farlans have now reached the command post that was bombed to pieces.

More than thirty bright red dots were divided into several groups, completely surrounding the entire command post, and there were more than ten red dots moving quickly inside.

These people accounted for one-third of the Farlan army.

Their position was also somewhat disconnected from the rest of the troops, so if they moved at a running pace, it would take about five minutes—of course, if they only had rifles and ammunition, that would be a different story.

Ryan tried to see what was inside the command post, but failed. Fortunately, he could tell from the movement of the red dot that they were rummaging through the boxes inside.

This is trouble.

As Brinkman said before.

The enemy had gained control of the command post and occupied it.

If we continue to advance now, it would be tantamount to committing suicide.

Not to mention having to snatch the command post from them and find the telegraph machine afterwards.

It's impossible!
For a moment, Ryan wanted to withdraw and ask Lieutenant Brinkman to see if there was any other way. After all, using the phone was not an option.

But obviously, this is also impossible.

Because Ryan knew very well that when he was assigned here, he heard Major Gellert from the camp say that if he wanted to make a phone call, he had to go to the command post or the sentry post at the gate.

But both are in enemy hands.

No matter which one, we have to fight.

Feeling somewhat disheartened, Ryan prepared to exit the system interface.

But at this moment, Ryan suddenly discovered that the map he was seeing was actually three-dimensional.

Driven by curiosity, he immediately adjusted the angle of his vision.

Then he discovered that the only entrance to the camp was the northwest entrance occupied by the Farlans.

The rest of the area is made of concrete three meters high, or wooden walls of the same height.

There's no fucking place to run!
and many more!

Suddenly, Ryan discovered something.

When he switched the map to three-dimensional mode, he discovered that there was another layer of tunnels underground.

The entrance is in the command post and the exit is due east.

In other words, as long as he could capture the command post, Ryan could take his men away from this damn camp.

This is great news!

Finally, I took another look at the distribution of troops.

The enemy's forces had been divided into three parts during the last few minutes.

The largest number of them are currently stationed at the entrance of the camp, and judging from their formation, they should be establishing defensive positions.

That made sense, Ryan thought.

After all, as I said just now, the enemy's main force is targeting this place, so they will definitely regard this camp as their stronghold, or even the front-line headquarters during the battle.

In this case, it is very important that the vanguard troops will carefully carry out the cleaning operation of the building.

This also explains why they sent a special reconnaissance plane to confirm the situation in the camp - no other reconnaissance method is better than aerial reconnaissance.

Ok?
Ren frowned.

Why does it feel like the situation is much better than before?
Look at the whole picture.

The enemy's main force is now divided into three parts.

Each part is more than 500 meters away from other parts. Even on a flat ground, it is difficult to reach the distance quickly, not to mention that this is a military restricted area.

The point is.

Now that the enemy has confirmed the location of the command post, their commander and communicator must be among the group surrounding the command post.

In other words, although on the surface there were thirty or forty people surrounding the command post, in reality perhaps less than half of them could participate in the battle!
As a player who has experienced countless military-themed games, Ryan almost immediately came up with a bold idea!

He immediately began to determine how long it would take for the enemy to discover him.

According to the system, the nearest enemy is about 800 meters away and it will take twelve minutes.

This is the time it takes for the enemy to quickly clear out the remaining forces in the building.

If they stopped cleaning, it would take less than four minutes.

This is the speed of rapid advancement.

They were about 400 meters away from the command post. If they could increase the distance between them and the command post to one kilometer, Ryan would have at least five minutes to launch an attack on the command post!
And five minutes.

It was enough for Ryan and his men to kill the people outside the command post, seize the radio, and escape through the underground passage!
