You call me a big treacherous evil?

What these two legions with only 1 and 3 people have to do is to defend their positions at all costs and buy time for the mobile corps.

The task of the 8 mobile corps assembled by all veterans and young adults is to first defeat the red-scaled lizardmen who claim to be the big brother of the lizardman world.

Although he claims to be the big brother of the lizardman world, the ruler of the red-scaled lizardman is indeed a puppet government supported by the Brandenian Empire.

As a puppet government, the most important thing is of course to meet the needs of the overlord country first.

And after satisfying the needs of the motherland, he naturally couldn't treat himself badly.

After all, scraping the ground is such a strenuous task, you must reward yourself well.

Whether it can be sustainable is put aside first, the first thing to do now is to catch fish.

Therefore, under the rule of such a puppet government, the living standard of the red-scaled lizard people is not only a peaceful country, but also a boiling public dissatisfaction.

So after the halfling announced the founding of the country, the puppet government of the red-scaled lizardmen took a look.

Isn't it just to help me divert the public's attention by announcing the founding of the country at this time and place?

So Lightspeed threw all the traitors and suspected traitors into the army, and sent them to destroy the halflings.

Afterwards, whether it was a bull that beat a horse to death, or a horse that beat a cow to death, the puppet government won't lose money.

As for the equipment...

You see, there are a batch of battle-tested, mature and reliable weapons here. Use them to drive out the halflings. We will work with you in the capital.

In this way, a group of soldiers who had never seen a general, and a general who had never seen a soldier, rushed to the battlefield.

Then they encountered a mobile army of halflings similar in number to themselves.

In all fairness, if the mobile halfling legion at this time were placed on the Dark Continent, they would basically be wiped out.

But the server they match now is the Near East region.

It's like you put a Shiba Inu into a tiger and leopard circle, and this Shiba Inu is the one that gets eaten.

But if you put this Shiba Inu in the bird area, then this Shiba Inu can start to "show its true strength".

Compared with those lizardmen whose average educational background hovers between prenatal education and driving school, the average education level of halflings is much higher.

At the same time, because Franche intends to test and experiment, whether Franche's 1.0 version of mechanized attack method is easy to use.

So although the vehicles of the Halfling Mobile Corps are either taxis or large trucks unloading goods in the port area, they are welded with a few steel plates and driven out to pretend to be armored vehicles.

But the organization method is completely grouped according to Franche's method, and in order to better test the weapons.

In the name of training anti-aircraft gunners, Franche also sent a company of anti-aircraft artillery to operate the newly developed 76mm high-level dual-purpose gun.

At the same time, Jean, who had been watching the battle in Bagno and was now promoted to major, was also sent to help organize and command the halfling army.

Basically, Franche regards the halfling troops as the militia mobilized by Franche after Franche's emergency nationwide mobilization to conduct combat effectiveness tests.

Jean, who was taught by Victor, naturally started to play what Victor likes to do most.

The main force assaulted the whole army and launched a large-scale pincer attack!

This large-scale offensive extremely tests the communication level of the troops and the quality of the soldiers.

Because once the offensive of the troops is out of touch, it is easy for the offensive troops to be surrounded by the defenders in turn.

Although the halflings at this time also lack the communication tools such as wireless stations, after spending a lot of money, there is no shortage of telegraphs and small trucks.

The halfling directly loaded the telegraph and battery into the cargo box of the small truck, and followed the troops along the way, reporting the current situation of the troops to the command at any time.

So when attacking, even though he had the title of advisor, he was half in command, so that the major could grasp the location of the halfling troops, and at the same time clearly know the location and status of the enemy troops.

So when the red-scaled lizardmen had just crossed the border, they hadn't had time to develop in depth.

The troops on their two wings were dealt a devastating blow by the halfling mobile corps.

Halfling commandos equipped with machine guns and submachine guns drove a taxi with the roof cut off, rushing to the forefront of the attacking force.

If they encounter the infantry unit of the red-scaled lizardmen, then this unit will rely on their fast taxis running in the desert and the machine guns on the taxis to forcefully break through the infantry's defense line.

Leaving a small number of troops to continue to harass these infantry, forcing them to continue to charge back while building defenses in place.

Once they met the knights of the red-scaled lizardmen, they would monitor the movement of those mechas from a long distance, and at the same time call the artillery unit with trucks towing 76mm anti-aircraft guns to come to support them.

As an anti-aircraft gun designed to deal with airships, Franche's 1923 76mm dual-purpose anti-aircraft gun can launch shells into the air up to 7000 meters.

This also means that once the armor-piercing bullet is replaced.

Within a range of two kilometers, the 76mm anti-aircraft gun can detect and destroy the red-scaled lizardmen's mechs.

In addition, most of the mechas used by the red-scaled lizardmen are left over from the period when the emperor fought in the old continent.

The original mission of these old mechas was to stay in the city to suppress the riots of Mudlegs, not for high-intensity combat.

Coupled with the poor adequacy of these mechs after a long time.

So most of the time, the artillery companies equipped with 76mm anti-aircraft guns are sitting in the car and rushing backwards with the vanguard.

Stopping occasionally, there will be multiple gun crews facing one or two old-fashioned mechas that are probably about the same age as their grandfather, and should be in the museum at this time.

After the blue sparks were emitted after the mecha was destroyed, I used high-explosive bombs to send some warm condolences to the red-scale infantry.

As a result, when the halfling's pincer attack was about to close, there were still many artillery crews in these anti-aircraft artillery units that had not yet opened, and they even fired more high-explosive shells than armor-piercing shells.

After the start of the pincer attack, the assault went extremely smoothly. At the beginning, it broke through the defense lines of the red-scaled lizardman's left and right wings and developed in depth.

The red-scaled lizardman barely reacted to the halfling's attack.

All the frontline troops of the red-scaled lizardmen were all focused on rushing forward.

After those lines of defense were breached, the red-scaled lizardmen unit entangled by the follow-up infantry units only knew that their line of defense had been breached and were continuing to fight the halflings, not knowing what happened elsewhere on the battlefield.

So even though the front-line red-scaled lizardmen fought bravely, many troops were only equipped with flintlock guns.

Under the cover of machine guns, they all dared to charge the halfling's position bravely, trying to pull the battle into hand-to-hand combat, which was more advantageous for the lizardmen.

The entire red-scale lizardman expeditionary force also stepped into the abyss step by step.

The officers and soldiers fighting on the front line did not know the specific situation of the battle, and the generals commanding by remote control in Kahela, the capital of the red-scaled lizardmen hundreds of kilometers away, received information that the defense lines on both wings had been breached.

But in the eyes of these officers who became generals only because their fathers were generals, the situation on the front line is not a little good, but a good one.

Since Major Jean didn't want to waste his life in the defensive battle stage, the halfling's mobile corps adopted a flexible defense method.

As long as the front-line troops have caused enough damage to the red-scale lizardmen's troops, and the damage to the fortifications is relatively serious.

Under the cover of the artillery unit, the halfling defense troops would jump on the truck and evacuate to the next line of defense to continue their defense.

In Major Jean's view, the faster the red-scaled lizardmen charge in the middle, the sooner they will fall into their encirclement.

As long as the troops on both wings arrive at the predetermined position and initiate a siege, it doesn't matter how many lines of defense you have given up now.

And the major's tactical retreat, in the eyes of those dazed red-scaled lizardmen generals, has become a manifestation of my red-scaled lizardman's invincibility in the world.

After all, what is the performance of being able to advance a few kilometers every day?

This is the performance of the Teutonic Empire during the Great War!

Look at the northern and eastern fronts, those lizardmen brothers who send out battle reports every day, but there is no movement on the front line, are a bunch of stinky brothers!

I, the red-scaled lizardman, am invincible in the world!



129 Open the door!Shinra Chakami!

Although there is everything in the dream, but the dream will wake up after all.

When the two pincers of the halfling mobile corps began to encircle, the red-scale lizardman generals in Kahela woke up from their dreams.

They looked at the halfling troops that suddenly appeared behind the battle lines on the map as if by magic, and began to encircle their own army.

Apart from being startled into a cold sweat, these well-born generals had no way to help the expeditionary army escape from the pocket that was about to be closed.

No matter how much they ordered, let the follow-up troops turn to the defense on the spot, and stick to the order not to take a step back.

The halfling army still seemed unstoppable, and continued to ruthlessly encircle the red-scale lizardman expeditionary force.

The only thing the red-scaled lizardmen can count on now is that the two divisions serving as the reserve team of the expeditionary force can persist in the face of the halfling's offensive.

At the same time, they also ordered the front-line troops to retreat as soon as possible in order to jump out of the encirclement.

This is another wrong decision after they let the frontal forces continue to attack after the two wings were broken through.

In principle, this command is no problem.

But it is only in principle, because retreating is more difficult than attacking for any army.

Especially when retreating under the situation of imminent encirclement, this will test the commanding level of the officers and the quality of the soldiers even more.

But now, in this soon-to-be-completed encirclement known as the Granny Pocket.

The Red Scale Lizardman Expeditionary Army did not possess such qualities.

Especially after the red-scaled lizardmen who were rushing forward the day before, thinking about entering the holy city and recasting the glory of the dragonborn, learned that they were about to be surrounded and had to retreat as soon as possible after a day.

This kind of ups and downs like riding a roller coaster makes them feel as good or as bad as they want.

Since they didn't know what was going on in the rear, the frontline troops immediately began to retreat.

In the beginning, this kind of retreat was considered an organized retreat under the coordination of middle-level and grass-roots officers.

They destroyed the heavy equipment that could not be taken away, and planted improvised explosives on the position they had seized the day before, to surprise the halfling before retreating.

But this orderly retreat lasted only a few hours.

A few hours later, when the major learned that the red-scaled lizardman, who had been charging forward like an angry bull before, began to try to retreat.

He immediately gave the order to launch a full-scale attack, letting the troops put pressure on the retreating lizardmen and make them mess up.

Facts have proved that the life of the major was to give the red-scaled lizard man a hard kick in the ass that was already standing on the edge of the cliff.

Due to the poor command system of the red-scaled lizardmen, the troops fighting on the front line did not know what happened.

So after being attacked by the halfling army, the originally orderly retreat quickly turned into a rout.

Especially the morale of the halfling mobile corps is extremely high now.

They knew that every day, the troops on the eastern and northern fronts were buying time for them with their lives, and they also knew that the lizardmen in front of them were about to be surrounded by them.

Once the encirclement is successful, they will complete the second largest encirclement since the Great War, and wipe out the main force of the red-scaled lizardmen in one fell swoop.

So under this high morale, the halfling's mobile army launched a swift attack on the red-scaled lizardmen in the encirclement.

It was like a pair of iron hands squeezing a tomato, violently squeezing the space of the red-scaled lizardman.

On the pincers of the pincer offensive, the two mechanized infantry brigades used by the major as spear points are also constantly taking advantage of their own advantages of having more vehicles and being flexible.

Attack them from the flanks of the two infantry divisions, and continue to let the commandos in open taxis infiltrate behind the lizard people's defense line through the hole torn in the defense line.

Harass their logistics nodes, artillery positions and headquarters.

Coupled with the order for the entire army to retreat from the command headquarters in Kahela, these infantry divisions mistakenly thought that the follow-up troops had surrendered or collapsed. These small troops that infiltrated were the forwards of the halfling main force.

So just six hours after the red-scaled lizardman command ordered the entire army to retreat, the two infantry divisions, which were ordered not to retreat a step, abandoned the line of defense and began to flee in the direction of the canal.

The two mechanized infantry brigades, the first brigade and the second brigade, where halflings were attacking spearheads, successfully joined forces, declaring that Granny's pocket was completely closed.

More than [-] red-scaled lizardmen were trapped in this encirclement.

When Shire Kingdom made a high-profile announcement, the news.

Even the Lizard People Nation couldn't believe that this had really happened.

After all, that was the main force of the red-scaled lizardmen, a force of 8 people.

Even if it is [-] pigs, it is impossible to be dumped just like that.

But then, those red-scaled lizardmen officers who were captured or surrendered began to appear on the radio, which proved that this was not false news.

As one of the founders of the Black Knights, Shire is very aware of how public opinion can affect the morale of the troops, and as morale changes, the combat effectiveness of the army will also change accordingly.

As a student of Shire, Major Jean naturally understood this truth very well.

So while constantly compressing the encirclement, preparing to completely annihilate the red-scale lizardman expeditionary force.

Major Jean also kept showing the destroyed equipment, killed soldiers and discarded flags of the red-scaled lizardmen in the newspapers.

At the same time, while broadcasting, considering that the lizardmen troops on the front line probably do not have radios, the military will not send newspapers to these troops.

So let the major set up antennas and high-power speakers in the halfling positions on the northern and eastern lines.
