Girls und War

Several people nodded.

"Do you know why?"

They shook their heads again.

"Because you're weak!" Shuibian spread his hands helplessly and laughed, "If it weren't for Xia Shu, you wouldn't even be able to enter the recruit competition! You would have been beaten down by Jiang Jiang and her class long ago!"

An embarrassed expression immediately appeared on their faces.

The smile on Shuibian's face was helpless and gentle.

She continued, "I've watched you train for three months and know your level perfectly well. Aside from Xia Shu, Zhan Ren and Jia are the ones who train the hardest and are the most capable. Mi Yu follows Xia Shu every day, and while it may seem like she's training a lot, she's actually obsessed with love. Am I right? You, Ning, Nya, and Shan Mei, the three of you are only slightly better than the average recruit. Ai Er, Xiao Mian, and Shan Mei, the three of you are about the same as the other recruits. Sheng! You—"

Shuibian suddenly stopped talking, revealing an expression that was difficult to describe.

Sheng showed a puzzled expression and asked, "Why don't you say anything?"

Shuibian waved his hand and continued, "You guys should rest when you should rest and take vacation when you should take vacation. Did I say anything? Do I never speak?"

They all nodded.

"Do you know why?"

They shook their heads.

"Because I hope you guys in the recruit company have a happy time and don't feel too miserable. I never thought about you getting any grades." She pointed outside and continued, "Your squad leader Jiang Jiang is the best at leading recruits! When I was in the recruit company, she was my squad leader! The recruits under her are the ones who work the hardest and train the most! While you guys are resting and on vacation every day, the recruits in her class do physical training in class every day and practice shooting at the virtual shooting range every day. Got that?"

The girls immediately showed expressions of shame.

Sheng tilted his head and said, "But I also train every day."

"If you don't train more, you won't even be able to meet the basic standards! Genius!" Shuibian said, patting the table.

Then she pointed at Xia Shu and said, "Xia Shu doesn't do these basic training because she doesn't need it! You guys are training with her every day, but you're going in the wrong direction. But you're having fun training, so I didn't say anything."

"Didn't Major Fake Sleep say she doesn't care about grades? I'm the same way! I don't care about your grades at all! If Natsuki hadn't inexplicably carried you all into the competition, I wouldn't have even thought of doing a serious video analysis of you!"

As she spoke, she started laughing again, as if she herself found it incredible.

And helpless.

The girls looked even more embarrassed.

But things have come to this point, the level of three months of training is there, and it’s too late to regret.

"It's my fault too," Shuibian blamed himself. "I didn't even ask you if you were eager to get good grades. Sigh, who knew there was going to be a recruits league this time?"

"Is there no chance now?" Zhan Jian asked somewhat unwillingly.

Shuibian thought for a moment and said, "There's more."

They all looked toward the water hopefully.

Shuibian shrugged and said, "We're going to prepare for special training later. Be mentally prepared. Now, let's review the last game and see where your problems lie."

After saying that, he prepared the video.

The girls were all perked up at once.

The video began playing by the water.

The acceleration here shows the start. They and the two teams on Sakura District quickly ran towards the target location. Sakura District chose a 55 team, while Natsuki chose a complex team of 3, 2, 2, 3.

After taking position, one could clearly see that Xia Shu and the others controlled the view of a row of houses next to the square, the warehouse, and the two small paths in the middle.

The opponent controlled the vision of the square and the warehouse, and the two people at the back were staring at the path behind them.

"So far, we've had the tactical advantage," Shuibian said seriously. "Xia Shu's arrangements are clearly more detailed. The vision score is clearly better.

"I pondered why the other team would start the game this way. This way, they lost vision control of the lanes, putting them at a tactical disadvantage. Then I understood: that child named Himiko—she was afraid.

"She doesn't know your average level. She thinks you're strong, but in reality, on paper, they have the advantage. Himiko doesn't know this. That's why she doesn't dare to split the lane.

“The problems arose during the subsequent stalemate.”

As he spoke, Shuibian continued to play backwards.

At this time, there was a gunfight in the warehouse and Jia was injured.

"We're a bit disadvantaged at this point, but it's not a big deal. Both sides haven't yet figured out their strategic core." Shuibian pointed at Xia Shu and asked, "How did you prepare your strategy?"

"Engage in a strategic stalemate, and when you are sure that the enemy has no vision, invade the front line. Or wait for the enemy to make a mistake." Xia Shu said.

"It's a very safe tactic, because she knows that you are not strong enough and can only adopt a defensive strategy." Shuibian commented and continued playing.

The scene quickly shifted to the enemy's charge.

129. About the Invisible Confrontation

When the enemy charged at the water's edge, there was a pause.

"This is the turning point of the battle." She pointed at Himiko's position. "This girl pays great attention to our war zone's paper strength. She must have done a lot of intelligence analysis before the game. Isn't that right, Natsuki?"

Xia Shu nodded and said, "I have been targeted several times, and she seems to be very familiar with me."

"Just like we did with the other divisions before, they're trying to gauge our strength," Shuibian said, pointing at Xia Shu. "Xia Shu certainly hid her abilities. She didn't make much of a play in the first two matches. But they must have known her recruit assessment results and considered her a formidable opponent."

"But she didn't fully understand how strong Xia Shu really was. If it were just a normal, strong recruit, a six-on-one fight would have been a sure thing. But she happened to run into Xia Shu. If she knew the difference in strength between Xia Shu and you, I think she would have devised a desperate, all-out attack to kill him."

"Let's not talk about anything else here and focus on the game at hand."

As he spoke, Shuibian continued to play the battle.

The enemy's charge injured Ning, but one person was seriously injured, leaving behind another body, and then retreated to the trail.

The waterside pressed pause.

"Okay, this is the turning point of the entire game," she said. "The other side paid a huge price and placed an ultimate trap in front of us, and Xia Shu fell into it."

Natsuki said, "My bad."

Shuibian waved his hand and said, "It's not your fault."

"I've considered the sheer determination Himiko put into setting this trap. It's possible that once the trap was set, her entire army collapsed. Perhaps she could have accepted a greater loss, the death of two or three new recruits, which was acceptable.

"I suspect her previous tactical preparations were completely different from what we saw. It's very likely that she didn't originally plan to capture the clock tower. But she didn't expect your overall strength to be so weak, and she discovered this!"

We paused by the water, waiting for them to understand the analysis of this tactic.

"What was her tactical preparation before that?" asked Zhan Ren.

"Here's what I think," Shuibian said. "She might not be trying to seize the clock tower, but is simply creating the illusion of seizing it. That way, after Xia Shu gets the message, she'll likely return to defend. Then, she'll find an opportunity to move everyone to the side road, seize the warehouse, transfer the information, and hold out for a minute."

"But this plan is risky. Because Xia Shu occupies the view of the trail, there is a high probability that he will notice this.

"So after she realized you weren't strong enough, she chose the second, more risky, but safer plan."

"Occupy the bell tower!" Zhan Jian said subconsciously.

"And something even more coincidental happened." Shuibian said as he continued playing the video.

The opponent lured us to shoot in the square, Zhan Jian exposed his position, and then Sheng Bai gave it away.

The enemy retreated immediately, and then realized that there were two more groups of defenders on the trail.

"The square has been reduced in numbers," Shuibian said. "They've also got two crucial pieces of information: Xia Shu is defending the square, and there are only three people in the square. You've collapsed."

Hearing this, they immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.

Sure enough, the next moment in the video was a rapid charge organized by the other party.

"Here," Shuibian said after a pause, "is your biggest problem throughout the game. One, Zhan Jian shouldn't have fired. Two, Sheng shouldn't have been so stupid. Three, Xiao Dao shouldn't have let the other side go back so easily."

Those whose names were called out by the water all showed ashamed expressions.

"If any of these three points don't happen, you'll still have to fight," Shuibian said. "Because the enemy doesn't know the number of defenders in the square, they don't have vision of the trail. We're well concealed here, and the enemy hasn't found the locations of the two key points, Zhan Jian and Xia Shu, so they don't dare to charge.

"But all three of these things happened at the same time. Your underwear is now clearly visible. Even if Xia Shu is tactically prepared, it will be useless. Of course they dare to charge."

The waterside continues to play.

Originally, three people were defending against five opponents, and the other side didn't know the specific situation, so they didn't dare to charge.

Now the two opponents have returned to defend, and there are only two people left here.

It's about to become a seven-on-two situation.

The four people Xia Shu called upon to return to defense were also a little slower than the opponents.

There is nothing wrong with the opponent's charge.

Then Xia Shu shot and killed one of them, and the other party raised three guns.

Even the two people at the back came back to defend and added two more guns.

Nya Nya is late here.

Seven against three.

Even gods can’t do anything about it.

They didn't even dare to show their heads.

Just when the field of vision was completely suppressed, one opponent went up to the bell tower, and the others all retreated to the opposite side of the square.

Three of them come over to fill the position, six against six, and there is a Himiko on the bell tower.

The waterside pressed pause.

She knocked on the table.

"So slow! You only had time to return to defend after the battle was over." Shuibian said coldly.

Shanmei Xiaomian and Aier didn't say anything.

"What about Xia Shu? You still had a chance to kill him then, right?" She turned her head and looked at Xia Shu again.

Xia Shu nodded and said, "Indeed, I can quickly move and at least call out two people's names. But that would reveal my strength."

The waterside gestured understanding.

She continued, "But it's not impossible to fight now. There are still two people in the warehouse, and the other side has one and a critically injured one. We have priority to seize the warehouse. Xiao Daoning in the middle lane still has vision, so he's not blind. It's six against six in the square."

"It's just that the enemy completely controls the central lane, and can clearly see our large-scale operations. This puts us at a huge disadvantage in terms of vision.

"At this time, Himiko also found out through probing that Natsuki had obtained the intercom."

The video continued playing by the water. Himiko was actually squatting on the rooftop. She had already seen their large-scale migration, but she still deliberately said into the intercom, "I'll try to see if I can hit them from above."

Then Xia Shu immediately asked them to stand against the wall and do something indecent.

"Then Himiko said that secret code." Mizube said while watching the video.

"They are hiding! Attention! They are hiding!" Himiko said this into the walkie-talkie.

The other recruits immediately showed nervous expressions.

Press the pause button again by the water.

The girls in the class all showed shocked expressions at this moment.

What was unknown at the time of the battle was that Natsuki and Himiko had already fought countless times in silence.

Now from a God's perspective, these girls in the flower district are incredibly stupid.

130. About Burdens and Opponents

If they hadn't made so many mistakes, Natsuki wouldn't have ended up like this.

To be honest, the fact that he could play a bad hand like this - with an advantage in the early stage, a draw in the middle stage, and only losing a key vision point - has fully demonstrated Xia Shu's tactical command level.

This is a good game with both sides evenly matched.

Xia Shu lost because of Himiko's self-sacrificing move.

Analyzing from a bird's-eye view and acting as a wise man after the event are two completely different things from directing tactics on the spot.

Now it seems that everyone knows that the other side has set a trap.

Could a god have thought of so much when they were fighting?
