Macho Wars

In front of everyone, Dragon read the notice that he had just sent.After research, the superiors of the military region decided to characterize this confrontation exercise as an assessment, and the winner will become the real Marine.

After finishing reading, Dragon threw the notice away, showing a sneer full of disdain.

"Little ones! The big guys above think this is an assessment and a confrontation. But I want to say, this is a demonstration to show how strong our training results are. I want you to use your full strength and tear up the poor ones. Worms, do you understand?"

"Understood!!!" xN

The answer to Dragon was the roar of more than three thousand humanoid beasts.Feeling the amazing momentum, Dragon couldn't help smiling with satisfaction.

Three days later, the four battalions of Dragun went to the exercise area and set up camp at the scheduled starting point.The director's department of the exercise is located in the local town of Sugel, and the observers are also arranged here.

Dragon took a car to the old place and revisited. The small town that was like a walled city at the beginning has more than tripled its area and has a population of more than 20,000.

When Dragoon came to the director's department, he and Major General Oduin met unexpectedly at the door.Although Dragon didn't like the old guy, he politely saluted the military first.And Alduin just snorted coldly, and casually raised his hand to return him, appearing not serious.

In Alduin's view, this young man does have some abilities, but he is too high-profile and conceited, and seems to not put them in his eyes.And he Alduin likes to shoot these guys who think they are outstanding!

The two entered the director’s command post one after the other. Owen and Henry were in front of the sand table. The Governor Alicia, who came to observe, introduced the characteristics of the exercise area.

Alicia, who became governor, has a much calmer temperament than before.Although she, the governor, is a vase with mostly symbolic significance, she is not completely out of work to deal with. These experiences have brought her very obvious growth.

But to Dragon's surprise, he unexpectedly saw Tarrance Princess Kallen next to Alicia.

Compared with the haggard appearance a few months ago, Karen's complexion has been greatly improved at this time. The thin and dull cheeks have become plump and rosy again, and the body looks plump and tall, and the curve is very soft.

Especially the black, soft and shiny hair, straight and long, looking from a distance, it exudes a pearl-like luster.The "Black Pearl" of the Far East also got its name.

Dragon glanced secretly, then did not look any more, and came to Owen and Henry to report to them.

Seeing Dragon and Alduin next to him, the two old guys showed a smile in unison.

Alduin's brow furrowed, and he had a faint premonition.

Are these two bastards trying to cheat me?

Chapter 248

Seeing that the commanders of both sides who participated in the confrontation exercise had arrived at the director's department, Owen began to explain the rules to the two.

It is important to know that exercises are not actual combat after all. Sometimes in order to achieve certain training purposes, or to simulate certain situations, the director department often adds some special rules to the exercises.

It is more common, such as setting a certain area of ​​the exercise area to have special terrain, and personnel and equipment will be affected accordingly once they enter.

In this exercise, Owen and Henry added a special setting specifically for him to pit Alduin...that is, no setting was made.

In the beginning, the two really wanted to make a few stumblings to Alduin, and try to use the rules to help Dragon smooth the gap between him and the opponent in terms of strength.

But in this way, Oduin's exercise will eventually cause trouble regardless of whether it is won or lost, and it will be even more difficult to handle at that time.

So the two went the other way, deliberately selling off in front of Alduin, saying that the special rules of this confrontation exercise must first be kept secret, and the commanders of both sides are required to search for and excavate themselves during the confrontation, pretending to have something but nothing. Don't say it.

But in fact there are no special rules for the exercise. There is only one purpose of doing this, which is to keep Alduin in a state of suspicion and indirectly affect his thinking and judgment.

And Owen and Henry also want to see that Dragon can win the confrontation with his real ability, otherwise it would be meaningless to protect him.

If there is nothing unexpected, the exercise will officially begin in twelve hours.Prior to this, the troops on both sides shall not leave the starting point delineated by the director department without authorization.

As the governor, Alicia suggested that the commanders of both sides stay for dinner before returning to the station.She had already seen that Duke Alduin Wakhan had a certain hostility towards Dragon and wanted to ease the relationship between the two sides.After all, the exercise is an exercise, and both sides are soldiers of the empire, so there is no need to make it like water and fire.

But they didn't expect that the tempers of the two men were tougher than the other, and they rejected the proposal to have dinner together.

Alduin believes that this meal can be eaten after the exercise is determined, while Dragon believes that as a commander, as a commander, he should stay with his troops as much as possible and not be special.

Watching Dragon and Alduin leave the director’s command post one after another, Alicia sighed in distress, turned her head and asked her friend Kallen.

"Do they have to do this?"

"This is probably a soldier."

Leaving the director's department, Dragon returned to his station by car.They are located about twenty kilometers east of Suger Town.This is the place where the Battle Pigeon clan lived. Later, Molo took the family to move to the more prosperous Fifth District Reservation, which was abandoned.

When Dragun returned, the logistics department of the military region had just sent them ammunition for the exercise.

The so-called exercise-specific ammunition is a special marking ammunition. The warhead used is compressed from special alchemical powder and does not have any lethality. It will only produce a cursor mark when hitting the target.

Thanks to industrialized production, this special bullet can be manufactured in large quantities like ordinary ammunition, and is specially used for military exercises.

However, this is also limited to small-caliber conventional ammunition. Explosives such as shells and landmines cannot be simulated.

At this time, the battlefield referees directly under the director's department are required to take the initiative, and they will be responsible for the simulation calculation of heavy firepower on the spot.

How many shells you fired, what caliber, and where you fired, they all have a set of "killing formulas" summed up from actual combat.First calculate how many people will die, and then let the "beaten" unit decide who will die in this round of shelling by drawing lots.

So sometimes if you are unlucky, it's not impossible to bombard your entire command organization even at the end of the pot.

Surprisingly true!

When Dragon returned, the officers were gathering together to study the map, speculating where Alduin's troops were.He walked over, grabbed a pencil and drew a circle on the upper left corner of the map, then pointed there and said.

"Don't guess, they are in shallow water."

"Sir, how did you know?"

"I ran into Alduin in the director's department. There was a smell of heather on his jeep. There is this kind of plant near Suger Town. Even if his troops are not in the shallow water, they must be somewhere nearby. ."

"Boss, are you cheating?"

"Of course not. The intelligence collection before the war is part of the war. Don't play if you are unhappy!"

"..."

According to this inference, Dragon made a series of arrangements for the starting tactics for the next day.

First of all, a battalion was responsible for luring the enemy, approaching the shallow water stream, and the leading soldiers retreated as soon as they encountered the enemy.One battalion fought and withdrew, trying to lead the enemy to the east.If the opposite party refuses to take the bait, then stick it up and do it again, until it provokes them.

The fourth battalion went to the east in advance and set up a position at the position indicated to them by Dragon, allowing the soldiers to dig as many trenches as possible, disguised as the main position, and set up all their mountain cannons.

The second and third battalions acted as mobile units. After the first battalion received the enemy, the second battalion carried out large outflanks from one side to block Alduin’s back road, and the third battalion was personally commanded by Dragon, looking for an opportunity to attack Alduin from the side. His "Seven Cun" is his commanding authority.

After reading Dragon's plan, the officers present were a bit speechless for a while.

"Sir, you are going to use four battalions to surround nine other battalions! Is it too big?"

The person who raised the question was the second battalion commander Jack Poney, who had just been promoted to major, and his speech was nodded in agreement by many officers present.After all, their biggest disadvantage here is the number of people, three thousand against seven thousand, and their strength is less than half of Alduin's.

Fortunately, Jack is an old subordinate of Dragon. Knowing that the regimental leader has made such an arrangement, he must have his reason. Therefore, he only raised his own questions and did not directly oppose Dragon's tactical arrangements.

Dragon looked around and asked a question.
