Chapter 699 Second Floor

The three brothers discussed it and decided to be careful.

Although Fernandez I did not have any glorious military achievements, he was used as a negative example and background board in history books almost every time.

But he has lived for so long, so he must have learned some experience.

And keeping vigilant is a basic quality that a general should have.

"Let the air force increase its reconnaissance efforts, and let all the militias spread out to avoid being exploited."

Qin responded quickly. A large part of the significance of the air force's current existence comes from high-altitude reconnaissance.

With an absolute height advantage, there is a great advantage in reconnaissance.

The Great Xia Empire can grasp the absolute advantage of war information, and the role of aircraft cannot be ignored.

As for the militia, it is a supplementary measure.

When the military formulated the combat plan, it completely ignored the existence of the militia.

In fact, many of the serious militias were added to the reserve regiment, and finally became supplementary soldiers for the regular division.

Therefore, the number of militias in the New World was greatly reduced, and they were excluded from the war plan.

Today's militias come largely from the active participation of armed citizens.

The military underestimated the enthusiasm and support of the imperial citizens for the war. Many people brought their own weapons to join the militia. As the war progressed, the number of militias has expanded four or five times.

The Great Xia Empire did not prepare so many weapons at all, so most of the militias were mainly self-equipped, and their combat effectiveness was very worrying.

Those who were able to get standard weapons or even artillery, like Hubble, were absolutely unique.

Therefore, the existence of these militias was an absolute waste, and they lacked training to be added to the main force.

Simply throw them out to be used as scouts. In the truly dangerous places, there are scouts of the army, and they play more of a supplementary role.

Being able to be active in the second line or even further back to guard against possible attacks has already exceeded the task.

Of course, the three of them only finalized a framework, and the specific details still need to be filled in by the staff.

Even the militia needs to play the role they should have, rather than waste it.

In addition, the area of ​​​​reconnaissance also needs to be carefully divided, and no obvious gaps can be left, otherwise it would be useless.

...

Hubble received a new order, the Emerald Militia needed to move out.

In fact, being on the front line made him feel very stressed.

Even after several personnel additions, his militia was already the largest regiment-level unit on the battlefield.

Not only the militia, but also the regular regiment-level units, none of them had as many people as the Emerald Militia.

Even though he had strong connections, half of the people had changed to standard weapons, and the other half had gathered the same type of firearms, but the combat effectiveness... he felt that a battalion of the regular army could defeat the two thousand people under his command.

And Emerald Town was already the front line.

The army of the New Holy United Kingdom had already attacked several times, and the militia served as an auxiliary to guard several firepower points, but the casualties exceeded a hundred in a short time.

Hubble was under great pressure, even though the war had made the Emerald Militia more and more combat-effective.

Fortunately, at this time, a transfer order came, and he had to lead the army to retreat and perform a dragnet reconnaissance mission in the second-line area.

At the same time as he was disappointed, he was relieved.

If you can't take on the main task, you will have fewer opportunities to get credit.

But you don't need to bear the pressure, otherwise you may be defeated if you are not careful.

After getting the transfer documents, Hubble immediately packed his luggage and ran away with the militia.

He didn't want to stay in this damn place for a moment.

Compared with before, the militia group that had experienced several battles seemed to have a bit of airs.

Especially the recent defensive operations, which are the fastest to improve combat effectiveness.

For Hubble, a layman, he also recently learned from a regular army commander that attack and defense are two concepts.

Why is there a big difference in the casualty rate that an army can bear in attack and defense?

That's because those who dare to take the lead in attacking are all backbone members.

Once the loss is too heavy, the combat effectiveness of the army will be weakened and it is easy to collapse.

But in defense, the ones who die are often rookies, and the backbones can be well preserved. As long as the soldiers are replenished, the combat effectiveness can be quickly restored.

Even as the defensive battles are fought, the combat effectiveness of the army is higher, because some rookies have been trained.

This is why defensive battles often create miracles, achieve amazing results, and many people fight to the last man.

And the reason why an attack will collapse if it loses more than a certain amount of money.

Hubble learned this trick and organized a combat backbone of 200 people, initially forming combat effectiveness.

Now he wants to take the opportunity of retreating to train and strive to be able to hold out for a few more days next time.

With this ambition, Hubble led the team to leave Emerald Town.

Just after he walked more than ten miles, there was a rumbling sound of artillery behind him.

After being on the battlefield for so long, he also has some experience. This is the army of the New Holy United Kingdom launching a large-scale attack.

If he delays a little, he will not be able to leave now.

Although it is a bit cowardly to say this, the reality is that the militia is just a little brother. They are not qualified to stand on this kind of meat grinder battlefield.

After stopping and watching for a while, Hubble said to the officer beside him: "Let's go, we also have our mission."

The mission Hubble received happened to be near the mine.

Due to the complex geographical environment, this place may also be infiltrated by the enemy.

If it is a small force, it is okay. If a slightly larger army is interspersed, it may cause some trouble.

If Fernandez I can get accurate intelligence, it is not ruled out that he will carry out a decapitation operation.

Of course, the greater possibility is sabotage.

When Hubble arrived at the place, he did not send everyone out.

He left a battalion alone to continue training. This is the main fighting force of the entire militia.

If you want military merit, you can't avoid a real fight.

Two infantry guns, all standard new guns, and their own supplies are also complete.

In terms of equipment alone, this battalion is no worse than the regular army.

Some of the equipment here was bought by Hubble himself.

At this time, Fernandez I was also making a deeper plan.

He knew that the enemy would not be stupid enough to believe that he would be law-abiding, so he would follow their ideas, let them catch his flaws, and give them a victory.

Therefore, the small infiltrating troops quietly gathered through the roads that had been scouted in advance, and began to advance towards some important areas.

Coincidentally, part of the army was in the mountains in front of Hubble.
