Academy Genius Commander

39 – Personality before the war (3)

On the other hand, realizing that the guys who became our prisoners in the blink of an eye would soon be killed, the corporal who seemed to be the best among them came out in fear and desperately begging for help, looking at the detached corps members and saying,

“Please save me, old people. I don’t know who you are, but we’re just pawns. We did not come to fight the Reich Empire. They’re just helpless serfs. Have pity on me and spare my life.”

There is no crazy person who became a soldier because he wanted to go to the army, unless he was a noncommissioned officer or a non-commissioned officer in Korea or here.

No, South Korea is said to be in a state of armistice with North Korea, but unless it is a very special case.

It is said that there is no direct battle to risk one’s life, but the soldiers in this world are treated much worse and have to fight in real life.

It’s not that what he said is wrong, since these are guys whose first priority is to return to their bodies in good health rather than prove their loyalty to the country.

“That is not what I know. However, if you answer my questions well, I will make it possible for all three of you to return safely.”

When the rope that they could survive came down, they were full of expectations and asked in a louder voice than before.

“Are you sure? Are you really going to save me?”

“It depends on how sincere you guys answer. But if even one of you three talks bullsh*t, you’re all going to die.”

At those words, the three soldiers probably thought that I would save them, but they were so moved that they shed tears and thanked them.

If there’s one thing they misunderstand, it’s because we’re a detached unit of the Advanced Reconnaissance Battalion whose identity and existence must never be revealed.

Even the soldiers of the enemy army have a custom of letting them live if they blow information before entering a full-scale engagement, but due to the nature of our detached unit, we have no intention of saving them.

“First of all, where is the Czech Republic army and what is the size of the unit?”

“Since we were stationed near the Iris Plain near the town of Paris two days ago, we should be passing near Chariot Hill now. I don’t know the exact size of the expeditionary force, but I know it to be around 50,000.”

“Do you know which castle is the nearest to the town of Paris or to Chariot Hill?”

“It’s the Lisof Castle and the Bichen Castle.”

Based on where I am now, if I ride a horse to the Visochian region near the border, which is the starting point of the detached unit, I have to go for about a week to nine days.

Considering that the distance that the army can move every day is drastically reduced as the size of the army increases.

It will take about a month to a month and a half for them to reach Visochia near the border, and there is only one route to choose from when marching.

Side roads, no, there might be several routes that a 100-strong merchant army could pass through.

According to what we looked at during reconnaissance, it was because there was only one river flowing through which a large army of more than 50,000 could commandeer the necessary food and secure clean drinking water for the soldiers to drink.

Even when playing a game like StarCraft, I could mobilize a small number of units and harass them like crazy, just by knowing the path the enemy came to attack their base.

What if it’s a real battle with high autonomy that is incomparable to strategy games?

It would be possible to infuse the enemy commander’s low blood pressure with enough anger to be cured in an instant.

Satisfied with the information they provided, I issued a command that might help me to more easily uncover information they have yet to provide.

“You gave me good information. Lieutenant Laura, release the rope as promised.”

“Major, there is still a risk that the scouts will run away. But to loosen the rope.”

“Even so, they can’t escape from here unless we let them go. More than 20 soldiers surround 3 people, how can they escape?”

After hearing that, Laura nodded in agreement, then cut the ropes and freed them.

Then the Czechoslovak scouts knelt down with tears in their eyes, full of hope that they were now alive.

“thank you! thank you! Thank you for saving me.”

“I will never tell the story of meeting the ministers.”

“I will forget everything I ever met. No, I already forgot.”

I haven’t said a word that they will send me back alive yet, but look at how thrilled they are that they released the rope, really.

Still, I wonder if these guys have a conscience too, no.

If you say that scouts were taken prisoner by the enemy and even spread information, you can believe that they will not talk about meeting us because they will be decapitated by a decapitation ax in a court-martial.

“Then I will ask you a few more questions and let you go.”

“Yes, just ask me anything.”

“Do you know what the morale of the soldiers is, how they are fed, and what tactics they intend to use? Do you often stay near the village? I want you to tell me in as much detail as you know.”

In the modern Korean Army, even if you become a squad leader in charge of a sergeant, you learn to receive detailed operations in actual combat.

‘When the enemy approaches, shoot with all your might, kill all their troops, and occupy point A. Then, if you think you can’t handle it, retreat to point B.’

Because in this way, it tells you how to fight the enemy, what targets to capture, and where to retreat in case of emergency.

Even if you capture only soldiers, you can get quite useful information, but soldiers of this era have a very low level of education.

That’s why I don’t have a bad brain, but I don’t know how to use it, so I only know ‘who is the enemy and you attack’, so there’s little meaning to it.

I asked just in case, and the most important thing was the morale of the enemy and the state of their diet.

“The morale of the soldiers is always the same. Everyone, frankly, it’s war and they want to go home quickly. The strategy is known only to those of high rank, but soldiers like us don’t know anything except that the Reich Empire is the enemy. But the high-ranking people seem to care a lot about us, so the food comes out well. I also occasionally eat stews and fresh cheeses with real meat, not damn cured meat.”

When I heard that, I had already come up with a good way to mobilize only 20 detached troops and make the enemies suffer as much as possible.

Is the blind scout because of his desire to live?

He continued to speak as if he were appealing to us.

“Also, more than 50,000 soldiers say they can’t stay in the village and won’t let us even go near the village.”

Besides, I want to save that stupid bastard because he gave me all the information I wanted to know, except for the enemy’s strategy.

In the worst case, if our existence is known, our detached unit will be annihilated.

“There…”

I raised my hand to block what he was saying.

“That was enough information. Then I’ll let you go as promised, so don’t look back and take the others with you.”

At that, the guy who had answered my questions obediently and well now greeted me with a face full of joy with joy that he had truly lived, and tried to run away with his men.

Then I gave the signal and ordered them to be killed the second they turned their backs.

I feel sorry for the scouts who obediently gave information to Alto, but what can I do?

The moment when I turned my back on my guard, drunk with the relief that the soldiers of Czechia were alive.

The guys belonging to the detached unit, including Laura, drew their swords and aimed at the necks and waists of the guys, killing them instantly with a single blow.

They didn’t suffer until right before they died, so they must have died comfortably in their own way.

“Then, from now on, take only the maps they left behind and go check the location and size of the enemy forces. Everyone hurry up and get ready.”

**

And the next day, I headed to the hill overlooking the enemy’s garrison that the dead scout had told me about with 20 members of the Byeoldong team.

There were about 50,000 Czech Republic soldiers and knights, as well as carts of various sizes.

Among them, the most impressive was.

Even though the troops were walking in a procession, on the other side, carts containing various foods were continuously joining and leaving.

Apparently, as the scout said, the Czech Republic’s army will requisition as much food as possible from the surrounding villages.

Otherwise, there would be no reason for the cart to come and go like that.

So I gave the order after once again appreciating the approximate numbers, positions, and speed of the march of the Czechoslovak army.

“From now on, the detached unit will return to the original route as quickly as possible and move to a village near the starting point. And implement a new ploy to harass them! Hurry up!”
