Chapter 191 The Land of War
land of war.

This is a magical illusion independently developed by the empire on the basis of ancient magic devices. It is completely applied to the command training of reserve officers, and it truly achieves the teaching purpose of combining theory and practice.

This is also the reason why the Central Military Academy has produced a large number of talents.

After all, every reserve officer starts from enrollment, while learning the theory, he will continue to conduct actual combat training through the battlefield. After such training, it is not surprising that outstanding command talents are cultivated.

Even some generals of the Imperial Army will pass through the place of war to conduct regular military command contests, this is also to maintain a keen sense of war.

Of course, the magical fantasy land of Warzone is not without its flaws.

First, due to the operation relying on ancient magic devices, it is doomed that the Battlefield can only be operated in the Central Military Academy, and other military officer schools in the empire cannot configure the Warfield, which directly leads to the extremely limited command ability of officers graduated from other military schools.

Second, because the battlefield is a virtual existence, the simulated soldiers do not have any emotions. They will only faithfully carry out the orders of the commander, even the order to die. This also causes many officers to have no Considering the two issues of morale and execution, there are countless examples of failures.

Even if there are all kinds of disadvantages.

It is absolutely undeniable that it has made contributions to the Central Military Academy and the Empire. This kind of magical illusion that simulates war is only possessed by the Empire on the mainland.

By rulebook.

Vega probably understood that this is a large city separated by a big river. The left side of the big river is under his control, and the right side of the big river belongs to Tiers' control area.

Both of them are going to fight in this city.

Veigar glanced down, the strength he currently has is a standard division.

This division includes 4 professional brigades, 1 mage squadron, and a super-manufactured aviation unit. The aviation unit has 10 war airships, and each war airship is equipped with 10 fire fighters and 10 wind fighters.

From himself to others, the strength of Lieutenant General Tiers is almost a division.

According to the rules proposed by Lieutenant General Tiers, within 7 days, he only needs to keep his troops above 20% to pass the entrance test, otherwise he will be judged as a failure.

"There are still 30 minutes before the start of the war, please prepare for the commanders of both sides."

With the sudden sound of a mechanical notification, Veigar realized that this virtual war was about to start, but he didn't have much sense of urgency, because the battle map chosen by Lieutenant General Tiers was a city.

Speaking of urban warfare, is Veigar unfamiliar?
It is estimated that Tiers would not believe it.

Not long ago, he had just defeated a strengthened airborne division of the Royal Army with the help of the remnant soldiers.

Although there are no civilians in this virtual city, he is not familiar with the urban terrain.

But he has the same troop strength as Tiers, and based on a thorough understanding of the concept of urban warfare, it is not difficult to ensure that his troop strength is above 7% within 20 days, and it is not that he must win the war .

----

"There are still 30 minutes until the war starts."

"Commanders on both sides, please get ready."

When the familiar mechanical sound sounded, Tiers on the right side of the river pulled a smile. Even though Veigar was a student preparing to enter the elite class, he didn't take Veigar, a rookie officer, seriously.

This is also of course.

First of all, he is a general who has experienced many battles. As a general, he naturally has some confidence and self-confidence that belongs to him.

The second reason is that he is very familiar with this place of war. He has fought no less than 10 battles with other officers on this city battle map alone.Whether it is command experience or familiarity with the terrain, he has no reason to fail.

Most importantly, he plans to use guerrilla tactics in this battle.

Guerrilla tactics, this is a new type of tactics brought back from the north of the empire. It is also a tactic that the Imperial Military Academy has recently focused on studying and is preparing to offer basic courses, and he is the leader of the guerrilla tactics research team.

The greatness of guerrilla tactics is naturally needless to say.

This kind of tactic completely overturned the empire's head-on combat thinking, and won the final victory in the war in a wretched and shameless way. It is really against the tough marching style of the empire, but Tiers has already regarded it as his natal tactic. .

Although he only scratched the surface.

But to deal with such a rookie officer, even using fur is a bit of a bully. The first few students in the elite class who participated in the test didn't even last for 3 days, and they were beaten dizzy by him.

So Tiers wasn't going to bully Vega.

Although it is said that Vega is required to maintain 7% of his troops within 20 days to be qualified, but in fact, as long as Vega persists until the entire army is wiped out and does not surrender, Tiers will let Vega pass the test. After all, he is here to recruit students, and They are not here to abuse students.

"Speaking of which, the creator of the tactics is also a brat."

Tiers looked at the temporarily immobile soldiers below and muttered to himself: "Are all the brats so powerful now? They either create tactics or go to military academy. I remember I was 35 years old when I entered the elite class of the military academy. It's really enviable."

"By the way, what's the name of that kid on the other side?"

Tiers suddenly remembered that he hurriedly started the test before asking the other party's name. He picked up the test certificate and prepared to see Vega's name, but at this moment, the mechanical prompt sounded again——

"The war begins!"

The short four words signaled the start of the war, and every minute and every second in the early stage of the war was very important. Tiers gave the order immediately without caring about other things.

"The war airship immediately took off for cover."

Tiers first ensured his own air supremacy, and then issued orders in an orderly manner: "Large troops are divided into parts, with small teams as units and crossbows as the main combat weapon, occupying the terrain and adopting high-mobility harassment operations. Good supply points, support troops ready to cover, and the operation begins immediately."

This is the guerrilla tactic Tiers understands.

As long as the troops are divided into parts, they will naturally have very high mobility.

Especially the magician and professional troops, it is almost impossible to be caught by the enemy's bloated troops. Coupled with the entanglement of the squad like maggots, even if one's own air troops are completely wiped out, the enemy's air support will not accidentally injure friendly troops. Don't dare to conduct magic bombing casually.

Harass the enemy like this for a few days first.

When the enemy is exhausted and unable to parry, he can regroup his troops and take regular warfare to wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop.

It can be said without exaggeration.

When Vega leads the troops to the right side of the river, he will let Vega know what fear is. The first ten officers who participated in the test were psychologically shadowed by him in this way.

But what Tiers never imagined was that Vega was not a novice in large-scale command operations from beginning to end, nor was he affected by the head-on combat thinking of the Imperial Army. He even had a better understanding of urban warfare than him.

Vega's goal is very clear, that is to persist for 7 days.

Since he had to persist for 7 days, how could Vega, like other officers participating in the test, foolishly lead his troops to the control area of ​​Tiers to fight to the death with the opponent? war.

How to grasp the initiative in war?

As far as urban warfare is concerned, large buildings, roads, commanding heights... are all where the initiative lies.

Mastering large buildings means that you can defend the air force, mastering road intersections, whether it is support or defense, it will be easy, and mastering the commanding heights is equivalent to mastering the enemy's movements in disguise.

A commander who really understands urban warfare.

Even if you pay a huge price, you will occupy these places in the first place, especially such as bridges, which can be attacked or defended.Unfortunately, Tiers does not seem to have the tactical thinking of urban warfare.

then--

Veigar successfully let the war airship blow up several bridges across the river, and it went so smoothly that Veigar himself felt a little incredible.
