One Hundred and Thirty-Eight 1 Road to the North

In the city of Serris, the battlefield situation of Higgs has changed so much recently that everyone had to hold a pre-war meeting to discuss the great performance of Her Royal Highness the Queen in Higgs.

In short, although the princess stubbornly returned to Higgs, she played a positive role there. She not only stabilized the situation on the ground, but also vaguely opened the way for Alan Hill's counterattack plan.

The civil affairs official in charge of the refugee evacuation was very excited and took the lead in reporting: "Almost all the civilians who evacuated east have become organized teams. Old and young women retreated in an orderly manner under the command of a small number of young people, and the efficiency was higher than before. at least three times."

His words were heard in Chris's ears, and the translation was: "This princess is really useful. Your Majesty the emperor, you should marry him and bring him home."

Before the civil affairs official on this side finished speaking, the road management official on the other side added: "All the roads in the east and west directions have been unblocked, and the crowds traveling in the opposite direction are now actively avoiding our troops. The slowest became the fastest."

The officials of the railway department followed suit and said, "We have added a railway almost overnight... Her Royal Highness's role is really unexpected..."

Chris really wanted to ask each other, do you think it's better for me to marry a railway and go home as a queen, or would it be more suitable for me to marry a princess? Or, simply, the title of the queen is called the railway track, right? The Queen of Railroad Tracks, sounds very fanciful...

"One railway? I think at least two... General Lester called to thank him, saying that he seemed to have added three motor transport regiments overnight..." On the other side, a general from the military said excitedly.

"The replenishment speed of ammunition has increased by 20%. There are countless civilians near the battlefield who voluntarily carry and unload ammunition for us, and almost no ammunition is lost. This is simply a miracle." When it comes to this, the general has a lot of words. Incessant posture.

Well, Chris sat in the first place and smiled wryly again in his heart: he used to be the queen of railroad tracks, but now he has become the queen of cars-how does it sound like a strong car model?

With the support of the people, the entire Higgs area seemed to be a great rear, and in some respects, even more reliable than the rear.

The officer from the casualty statistics department reported a piece of good news. He first talked about the previous dilemma of the troops in relocating the wounded: "The day before yesterday, only 2,100 wounded were relocated locally, and we spent more than 7,000 gold coins to relocate these wounded. "

Then he talked about the improvement in the past few days, the gap between the two is so big that it is very different: "Yesterday,

Thanks to Her Royal Highness the Queen's help, Higgs took in 4,900 wounded and every family seemed to be helping, and our morale was rising at an incredible rate. "

"Although they are not professional, these locals are really reassuring in terms of providing training grounds, taking care of the wounded with inconvenient mobility, and restoring the mentality of the wounded. The soldiers are no longer afraid of being injured, which is of great help to the battle. ' added a minister.

"The Battle of Higgs has turned into a people's war, and the Queen's role there is beyond imagination. We have underestimated the role of the people's hearts, and this is worthy of our careful review." A staff officer expressed his opinion with some emotion : "Before, we were almost fighting in the guest field. The refugees caused us countless troubles, but there were very few local people to help us. Now, Higgs has become our home ground."

This was the first time that Ailan Hill's staff organized such a large-scale battle. In many aspects, they only had theoretical knowledge, so there were many problems in scheduling and other aspects.

Unlike fighter pilots, they cannot practice their campaign scenarios through hard training. Therefore, after the outbreak of the war, it was time for them to start to really exercise-this caused the dispatch of the front line to be chaotic for a time, causing a lot of unnecessary losses.

They had to pick up the hearts and minds of the Higgs area first, ignoring the pressure that mass migration would create on the roads. In the traditional control area of ​​Ireland Hill, such road pressure can be offset by tough road conditions, but in the Higgs area, where the road conditions are average, it becomes a headache.

Facts have proved that it is not enough for a group of good combat staff to simply rely on the knowledge magic ball to instill knowledge. What they lack is more practical experience in commanding large-scale operations, rather than bizarre theoretical knowledge.

Now, they have one person who has helped them with a lot of trouble, and they really appreciate it. The staff department now admires Her Royal Highness, and even thinks that such a talented person can work in the staff department.

For His Majesty the Emperor, Chris, this war, within the scope of bearing losses, has trained his staff, which is a very cost-effective thing. After such a war, his staff can work on their own and draw up a more reliable campaign plan.

"Okay! Let the Guards handle the matter concerning Her Royal Highness. What we are going to talk about now is the analysis of the battlefield situation. Staff, please give a brief introduction." Chris interrupted everyone to the princess. His Highness's "Goodwill Conference", he opened his mouth and ordered.

A staff officer stood up, walked in front of the huge map hanging on the wall, pointed to the frontal battlefield with a pointer, and began to introduce: "Three days ago, the Holy Demon Empire stopped advancing to Higsnar, and the entire front It started to stabilize and our defenses started to solidify."

"The small-scale tentative counterattack on the front line proves that the Holy Demon Empire has not given up their positions, so we are not very sure about their exact intention to stop the attack." The officer used the pointer on several main attack directions of the opponent on the frontal battlefield. He stroked, and said skillfully.

For today's speech, he may have practiced dozens of times in private, so the sentences are coherent and clear: "After inference, the staff thinks that there is about a third of the possibility that they are sticking to waiting for help, waiting for the Holy Demon. After the reinforcements from the empire arrive, the frontal assault operations will resume."

The staff officer introduced the possibility that the entire staff department collectively judged, and which inference to adopt is the matter of the front-line generals and His Majesty: "In addition, it is also possible that they have lost interest in attacking and are ready to wait for us. As for the reason for losing interest in attacking, it is very likely that the loss of troops is too large, or the troops are insufficient..."

"The third reason is the one we are most worried about. They may realize that they are going deep alone and are ready to make adjustments to eliminate their prominence." After saying this, he stood next to the map with a pointer , awaiting further orders from Chris.

"The air force's reconnaissance has made the opponent's intention to gather troops on a large scale to hide. There is indeed information showing that the opponent is drawing troops from the front line..." Commander-in-chief Buttoria also said.

Chris nodded, combined the knowledge in his mind, and concluded: "We shouldn't pin our hopes of victory on the stupidity of the enemy. So I think what we should consider is the third situation."

He looked at the chiefs of staff of the army, and said: "Make a battle plan according to the worst case, and immediately order Vagron to start a counterattack! What is the situation of the other party, we can try it out and try it out! There is no need. Sitting here guessing!"

"If the opponent is strengthening the defense of the two wings of the salient, then we will test the ability of our troops to attack the fortress. If the opponent does not strengthen the wings, just hit them by surprise!" After giving the combat order, he stood up and looked at Everyone in the conference room: "The outcome will be decided within a few days!"

An officer held the confidential telegram summed up at the meeting, walked to the telegraph room where the telegram was sent, and handed the telegram to the non-commissioned officer who specialized in sending heartless telegrams.

The non-commissioned officer checked the seal of His Majesty the Emperor on the telegram, nodded and started hitting the firing pin in front of him. Soon a complete telegram was sent out, directly across the mountains, rivers and seas, and came to the ears of Vagron's radio troops.

The officer in charge of receiving the telegram pressed the earphone with one hand, and quickly wrote the content of the telegram with the other hand on the telegram paper. After checking the translation, he neatly copied the corresponding correct sentence on another telegram paper, and handed it to the long-awaited officer: "Seris! Your Majesty's order!"

The officer took the telegram, tucked it into the folder, and quickly got out of the tent, crossed the camp, and came to a huge tent. He opened the door curtain, walked into the tent, and stood behind Vagron who was watching the sand table: "Commander! Sirius! His Majesty's order!"

After taking the telegram, Vagron saw that there was only one sentence on it: "Attack as soon as possible!"

He handed the telegram to General Walter beside him, and then ordered: "Let the armored troops attack!"

With one attack after another, at the field airport near the southern battlefield, one after another Il-2 attack aircraft began to take off, forming a dense attack echelon in the sky, and began to head towards the army of the Holy Demon Empire. direction to fly.

On the ground, the roar of the engine also continued. Tank after tank began to advance to the front, running over grass, over creeks, billows of black smoke, and majestic gun barrels.

Behind them came throngs of Elan Hill Grenadiers, singing high war songs and carrying weapons of all kinds, along the road, along the ridge, along the banks of the river, along the to the edge of the forest, all the way north.
