Chapter 46 Retreat?

a week later.

Veigar's regiment began to march towards the border according to the order.

The border is more than 200 kilometers away from the city of Kaleni, and it will take two and a half days to march to the border on foot alone.

卡列尼与联合王国的边境线长达2374公里，而3团需要负责的是R68-T357边境线，维迦所在是4营则重点负责T134-T357区域。

Borderline guarding is different from simple patrolling tasks.

The patrol mission is only to carry out shift patrols on some cliffs, rapids, and virgin forests that cannot be broken through by large troops, and only some small pioneering teams, reconnaissance teams, and special forces of the enemy country can be encountered.

After the patrol mission is completed, you can return to Kareni at any time for repairs.

Speaking of which, patrol missions are only used for training soldiers.

But border guards are different.

The border garrison mission is generally based on a company, and is stationed at a pass where large troops can march for a long time. At the same time, daily inspections and 24-hour shifts must be carried out around this pass. Each such pass has a small watchtower. , this sentry tower can probably accommodate a company.

Simultaneously.

This sentry tower also serves as a warning at any time, just like the Great Wall on Earth. Once an enemy country invades, it needs to ignite the beacons of various colors according to the number of enemies. At the same time, the company needs to resist the invaders without receiving an order to retreat. .

The danger of stationing is self-evident.

Once confronted with the provocation of the other party's large forces, the building may even be destroyed.

In addition to the danger, border garrison missions generally have a long period, and the nearby mountains are either steep or endless. Except for the teammates of the company, there are only insects and birds, and often encounter situations where supplies are not timely. In terms of conditions It was much harder than staying in Kareni.

in short.

The border garrison task is to distribute the frontier. Usually, the cannon fodder troops are sent to peck each other with the harassment troops of the United Kingdom. Those who can survive for a year or so will be recruited into the backbone troops for systematic training. Already three meters high.

Veigar is stationed in a hilly area.

He needs to carry out a garrison mission here for at least 3 months, and when the garrison mission expires, he may have to face an order to increase the garrison time.This is the practice of the military department, first give you a hope of coming back, let you continue to persevere, and when the mission time is up, add 3 months to you, and so on.

"Company commander, the handover procedures have been completed."

Adjutant Charl reported to Veigar who was standing on the commanding height of the sentry tower and looking into the distance.

And the last company has disappeared at the end of the sunset, even if it is about to enter the night, they can't wait to return to Kareni, because they have waited too long for this day.

"Thank you, Adjutant."

Veigar turned and walked down: "Next, arrange the personnel on duty tonight as soon as possible. I believe that most of the soldiers in our company have experienced garrison missions for several years. Ask them for their opinions as much as possible."

"Yes, I'll arrange it right now." The adjutant retreated.

Vega began to revolve around this watchtower. The watchtower can accommodate 200 people for living and living. There is a beacon tower on the top. There is a large open space in front of the watchtower for the assembly of the army. As for the daily training of the army, it is generally directly applicable. When it comes to daily pass patrols, pass patrols are a daily task most likely to encounter enemy troops.

Go down the sentry tower.

Soldiers in twos and threes were carrying supplies, and when they saw Veigar, they immediately stopped what they were doing and saluted.

The mountains are high and the emperor is far away.

In this small watchtower, Veigar is the most senior officer, and he has the highest command authority.The power of life and death of the 160th person under him is completely in his hands. As long as this long-term mission is not over for a day, then there is no need to hand over the soldiers to the military court if they make mistakes.

----

Three days passed in a flash.

Veigar's troops have basically adapted to life here.

The most frightening thing about border guarding is loneliness and loneliness. If you stay here for a long time, you will easily suffer from some mental illness. After all, not everyone can adapt to life in the wild for a long time.

Therefore, combining work and rest is particularly important.

If it is summer now, Veigar might bring some soldiers to hunt and other activities to adjust, but there are fewer such winter entertainments covered by heavy snow.

But today is an exception.

Because of the news from the front, the army of the United Kingdom is approaching, and the exact total number is temporarily unknown.

"Everyone is there, Pass T315, let's go."

Vega took about 100 people and marched towards the pass. About 30 people were stationed in the watchtower, under the temporary command of the deputy company commander.

Reach the commanding heights of the pass.

Veigar saw more than 30 subordinates who had been hiding here performing daily patrol tasks. They were observing the enemy's every move with military binoculars, and they were led by a squadron leader.

"Sergeant, report the situation."

"Yes, Captain."

The squadron leader put down the binoculars in his hand and said: "The enemy has a total of more than 500 people, and about half of the battalion is heading towards us. No other troops have been found so far. It is preliminarily judged to be a guerrilla combat method."

Guerrilla warfare.

This is a combat method used by the United Kingdom during the truce period. It summons troops several times the size of the imperial watchtowers, conducts flexible surprise attacks, and achieves the effect of destroying a single imperial watchtower. After the destruction is complete, it will quickly evacuate.

In such cases.

Due to the gap in numbers, they can only release signals to evacuate temporarily, and first ensure the safety of the soldiers. As for the damage to the sentry tower, they can only consider themselves unlucky and spend a lot of time and energy on repairing it.

Of course, the empire is not the one who suffers.

General regiment or battalion-level troops will regularly call soldiers to adopt similar strategies, and the losses of both sides will be about the same for so many years. However, the recent border friction has intensified.

"Messenger."

"arrive."

Wei Jia said to the messenger: "Return to the sentry tower to inform the deputy company commander to release the green beacon signal and prepare for evacuation. I didn't expect that I would be lucky just three days after I came here. It seems that you don't have to do nothing in the future. , Just repairing the sentry tower is enough for us to be busy for more than half a month."

"Yes."

The messenger immediately ran towards the watchtower.

Although he was ready to evacuate, Veigar did not order to evacuate immediately, because he still needed to wait for the retreat signal from the regiment headquarters, and it was against the military order to evacuate without receiving the retreat signal.

10 minute later.

A light red smoke rose from the other side of the mountain.

The regiment's order came.

But this is not an order to retreat, but a signal to meet.
