Chapter 72
Rumble.

With the fire all over the sky, the first mission objective has been successfully destroyed.

Although in Vega's view, the victory of this battle is inexplicable, and even the signs are very strange, but it is an indisputable fact that 1/5 of the mission has been successfully advanced.

Things have come to this, Veigar suppressed the puzzlement in his heart.

It was a pity for him to see the joy on the faces of everyone in the 5th Battalion.

Because it's fine if he didn't get a big shot in this battle, and he didn't bump into a low-level professional to improve his spiritual power, Vega can only pin his hopes on the next four goals.

As long as there are 4 professionals among the 3 targets...

As soon as he thought of this, his thoughts were interrupted. The orderly took the battalion commander's order and informed him to organize his troops and evacuate this place with the large troops.

After all, the essence of guerrilla missions is to change places with one shot.

The main tactical thinking is also to cause interference and damage to the enemy army in a mysterious way. If the movement is too slow, it is not fun to be caught by the tail of the Royal Army.

The place to set up camp has been planned in advance.

When we arrived at the destination, it was after 21 o'clock in the evening. Naturally, marching outside was not comparable to the life in the station. Everyone ate some marching rations and fell asleep. Although the thin tents could not block the cold wind, they trekked mountains and rivers all day. After another battle, every soldier slept soundly.

Veigar didn't fall asleep.

After tossing and turning, unable to sleep, he walked out of the tent, looked at the moonless sky, and felt an indescribable feeling stuck in his throat, which was hard to swallow. Even now, he still felt that today's battle was inexplicable.

"Second Lieutenant Veigar, it's so late and you haven't slept yet?"

An abrupt voice interrupted Vega's thoughts, and the person who spoke was Captain Ziglin.

He rubbed his hands because of the cold, then lit a cigarette and said: "I know that your officer is wondering about today's battle, but as the battalion commander said, this is the habit of the Royal Army, and you should listen to the battalion commander's instructions in everything. That's right, there is no need to be too cautious when dealing with the odds and ends of the Royal Army, because there is no difference in the results of fighting cautiously or not, and being too cautious will only increase unnecessary time and resource expenditure."

Veigar didn't answer directly.

He just asked suspiciously: "Why did you tell me this on purpose, don't you hate me?"

"Don't hate."

Ziegelin directly vetoed it: "Back then, Lalba and I were just jealous that you became an officer at such a young age through the back door, and it was fine if you got a legendary item such as the Imperial Wings Medal, but you also ran to the cannon fodder to pray for us. The low-level officers on the way out grabbed a few military merits. But after the battle that day, although I still fear you from the bottom of my heart, I gradually believe that you have achieved your current status by virtue of your skills."

"Your Excellency was joking, it's just luck."

Vega smiled slightly: "But Company Commander Ziglin, your strength is quite impressive. Why were you assigned to the 4th Regiment?"

"It's not a secret that can't be disclosed."

Ziegelin sighed and said: "I, Lalba, and Battalion Commander Rons all failed the political review of the personnel department of the brigade headquarters. It's perfunctory our excuses!"

At the end, Zieging's expression had become a little ferocious.

"Political review?"

Veigar recalled it carefully, and asked suspiciously: "Why have I never undergone a political review so far?"

Zigrein looked Vega up and down, and finally fixed on Vega's chest: "In addition to the wings of the empire, you also have the Iron Cross. As long as you have the medal, who dares to question your political stance."

"I see."

Veigar nodded and said, "Then what can you do to bring back the backbone troops?"

"As long as we make enough military achievements and lead our troops to receive systematic training, we will have a second chance for political review. Even if we fail the review, we can apply to Kareni's logistics to take up some vacant positions that do not require political review. Originally, there was a large-scale cannon fodder troop returning to the city for training, but they just missed the 4 regiments... Sigh." Ziglin exhaled a puff of smoke, with endless envy and jealousy on his face.

He looked at the night.

He sucked the cigarette down to the butt, then exhaled the last puff of thick smoke and said: "Second Lieutenant Vega, please rest early, there is a new task to be completed tomorrow, I have said so much, I still ask you to obey the command of the battalion commander Although he is not a professional, he has rich combat command experience."

"I understand."

Veigar bid farewell to Zigrein, although Zigrein's words still did not dispel his anxiety, but he also began to face up to Battalion Commander Ronce's order, maybe...he was right?

the next day.

According to the plan made by the matter, the second sentry tower g42 will be destroyed today.

The meeting of the two sentry towers is not far away. If you march in a hurry, it will only take half a day.

Although the distance was very close, and the entire guerrilla force arrived near the sentry tower, they did not launch an attack immediately, but arrived at the previously planned hiding place and began to repair.

This trimming is a full day.

According to the combat experience of the 5th Battalion Commander, after the neighboring sentry towers are damaged, some nearby sentry towers will be put under a high degree of martial law for 24 hours. At the same time, the Kingdom Legion-level troops will temporarily send additional reinforcements to garrison. At this time, it is absolutely impossible to launch an attack. Otherwise, the gains will not be worth the losses. It is said that this is the experience gained by the 5th Battalion Commander Ronsi through blood lessons.

But don't worry.

Because the Kingdom's army is already short of troops, the period of martial law will not exceed 24-48 hours. As long as the attack is launched after 48 hours, it will be foolproof.

Everything was as the 5th Battalion Commander Roens said.

On the evening of the third day of the mission, the guerrillas launched a surprise attack.

This time the attack did not encounter any resistance from the Kingdom Army. They simply gave up and fled. The second goal of the mission was announced to be completed. The only regret was that Vega still did not kill any of the Kingdom's professionals.

The mission is still in progress.

The 5th Battalion Commander Ronce followed suit and successfully destroyed the third sentry tower on the sixth day of the mission, successfully pushing the progress of the mission to 3/5, and the objectives of these two missions were much simpler than the first one. Without any resistance, they retreated directly.

The only problem is that all the guards stationed in the sentry tower are the backbone troops.

But after three consecutive victories, Veigar no longer cared whether the Royal Army was a cannon fodder force or a backbone force. He began to gradually relax his vigilance, and at the same time, he believed in battalion commander Ronce's seemingly unreasonable but extremely practical command orders.

There are times when experience really trumps theory.

But it was also after the destruction of the third mission goal that the 5th Battalion Commander Ronce held a meeting again and proposed to veto Vega's previous plan of looking far away. Because time was running out, he was going to reactivate the original plan based on the principle of proximity .

at the meeting.

Veigar frowned and looked at the three of Ronce, caught in a difficult decision.
