Alien Empire Total War - Chapter 217

Time passed quickly. Two days later, the Enklan army, which was preparing to counterattack and retake the frontline supply station, finally assembled. The assembled three divisions and one brigade were already the most troops that the Enklan Second Army could mobilize. Other troops They were all in the confrontation with the enemy on the front line. It is no exaggeration to say that if these four troops were defeated and severely damaged, they could only respond passively in the next battle.

In order to avoid this situation, Lyman decided to personally command the troops to launch the attack. He no longer trusted the ability of the division commander under him, and he had to do it himself to feel at ease.

Tragedy is often caused by the sudden decisions of some people, and Lehmann is no exception.

When the Enklan army was assembled and ready to go, the relevant military information had already been sent to the headquarters of the Imperial Army. Looking at the report submitted by the scouts, Victor’s mouth rose slightly, and he and Warren looked at each other. He smiled and said, “The enemy is about to take the bait. I hope Ackerman’s plan can go ahead smoothly.”

Since this plan was proposed by Ackerman, the second division commander, who had great military exploits, recommended himself to take up the task and personally led his subordinates to garrison the outskirts of the supply station. Victor was a little hesitant, but Ackerman’s sentence successfully persuaded everyone – “This plan was proposed by me, and it is necessary for me to implement it myself. Even if something goes wrong, I will bear it myself and will not affect others.”

Yes, although the other division commanders agreed with this plan, they were very worried about the black powder buried in the ground, and they were not very willing to take the risk in person. Ackerman’s willingness to accept this task could be regarded as a solution to this problem.

Victor then sent this information to Ackerman, who immediately deployed before the war and checked the supply depot to make sure that every link was correct, and that the coins they had thrown away before the plan were all gone. Two large boxes were prepared, which were equally distributed to each soldier. The soldiers who remained in the tunnel to detonate the black powder were also volunteers from each unit. They stayed at the tunnel entrance and waited until the second division retreated. will get into the tunnel.

It took another day and a half from the time the Enklan army was assembled until they arrived at the outskirts of the supply station. At more than 3:00 p.m. on October 10, the Enklan army finally appeared in the sight of Ackerman’s telescope. .

“They are here.”

Ackerman put down the binoculars and said lightly. When his voice fell, the adjutant beside him signaled the messenger to pass on the order to prepare for the battle. After a while, the shouts of officers one after another sounded throughout the entire position.

“Ready to fight!”

“Check your firearms and reload!”

“…”

In addition to the voices of the infantry officers, the officers on the artillery positions were also directing the artillery to reload the artillery—the Second Division did not bring all the artillery, only ten artillery pieces were deployed, and these ten artillery pieces were also for the purpose of Confuse the enemy and prevent the enemy from discovering anything strange.

After all, the imperial army has always been famous for its sharp artillery since Charles came to power. If the enemy discovers that there is no artillery in their army, it is likely to arouse suspicion.

On the other side, the commander of the Second Army, Leiman, who personally led the army, also observed the enemy’s position through the telescope. He looked at the enemy who was on the defensive, and said, “It seems that our enemy has discovered us long ago, but from their In terms of the size of the position, in line with what the scouts said, their strength is indeed only the strength of one division.”

“How can a division’s strength be able to compete with us? We will be able to win this supply station.” A division commander beside him echoed.

“I hope so. If our enemy is another country, I will think so too, but in front of us are the Lumen people, and their army can’t be viewed with common sense. We have eaten a lot before this. Loss.” Lyman put down the telescope and said in a deep voice.

His words made the surrounding generals fall into silence. No one would think that Leiman was trying to grow others’ ambition and destroy his own prestige, because the enemy’s performance since the start of the war has proved his words.

“In the next battle, we will first use artillery to destroy the enemy’s artillery positions to neutralize the enemy’s artillery threat, and then send infantry to attack.” Lehmann ordered, “At the same time, just in case, we will also attack when attacking. A large number of scouts should be dispatched to ensure that we can know as soon as the enemy reinforcements arrive.”

“As ordered, General.” Several generals agreed in unison.

…

There was no so-called communication of messengers, and the battle quickly started from the confrontation between the artillery. The Enkelans lined up the dozens of artillery pieces they brought in front of the army formation and fired at the artillery of the imperial army position. The latter then fired back, and despite the experience of the Imperials’ artillery, their artillery numbers were far inferior to the enemy’s, and they were soon at a disadvantage.

Ackerman knew what the enemy’s intention was. He didn’t want to waste precious artillery on this meaningless artillery battle, so he ordered the artillery to abandon the artillery and withdraw to the rear. The artillery did not hesitate after receiving the order. Without hesitation, he turned and retreated.

The actions of the imperial artillery were beyond Lyman’s expectations. He looked at the enemy who was easily defeated, and felt something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn’t tell. He always felt that the development of things should not be like this, according to common sense. In other words, the enemy should be stubbornly resisting, frustrating their attack.

But now, after losing a few artillery pieces, the enemy’s artillery retreated without hesitation?

While he was hesitating~www.mtlnovel.com~ the Enkland artillery also turned to the Imperial soldiers hiding behind trenches and parapets, bombarding enemy positions with solid shells, one of which Ryman saw with his own eyes Broke down one of the parapets, killing the Imperial soldiers hiding behind.

“General, are we going to attack?”

A division commander asked him that the enemy’s artillery threat had been cleared, and now it was time for the infantry to come on stage!

“Attack.” Laiman hesitated for a moment, but decided to launch an attack. He had more than 27,000 people in his hands, and there were only more than 8,000 people standing in front of them, and no enemy reinforcements were found nearby. Figure, in the face of such a disparity in strength, what conspiracy and tricks can the enemy use to save the battle?

After receiving Lyman’s order, the three infantry divisions of Enkeland’s army blew their horns of attack, lined up in neat lines, and advanced towards the enemy’s position in an orderly manner. From Ackerman’s point of view, Enkeland The Lan army rushed towards the turquoise dam formed by the imperial army like a khaki tide.

The battle is about to break out, and Ackerman also has to find a suitable time to retreat in the next battle.
