Chapter 1872 Final Rescue
The northern region of the Orc Empire.
William, the commander-in-chief at the front, is directing the army's rapid advance.
This past week.
William fought a total of three decisive battles.
More than 20 enemy soldiers were killed in total.
They wiped out the entire orc resistance force.
The previous annihilation campaign launched by Gudri eliminated 30 enemy troops.
William has now wiped out another 20.
In addition, there were the orc rebel soldiers who were routed.
The total strength of the orc resistance army currently does not exceed 20.
Moreover, this figure of 20 is largely inflated, with a significant portion consisting of conscripted laborers.
They have absolutely no fighting power.
It's only a matter of time before the orc resistance is wiped out.
However, the National Defense Forces are not in a hurry to carry out any operations at present.
The continuous offensive over the past ten days has depleted the National Defense Forces' ammunition.
Of course, this does not mean that the armed forces are facing a shortage of ammunition.
Rather, it is because the National Defense Forces are unable to launch a new, rapid offensive in a short period of time.
Counterinsurgency is itself a war that requires enormous investment of resources.
The investment from both sides was completely disproportionate.
Non-governmental armed forces can give regular armies a huge advantage with just a small investment.
Because these non-governmental armed groups are always entrenched in those remote and hidden corners.
If the regular army cannot wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop, these non-governmental armed groups will be like weeds that have been burned and will grow back in the spring breeze.
Therefore, counterinsurgency warfare is always a headache for some countries.
It's easy to take it down, but it's very difficult to eradicate it completely.
Even in ancient times, it was impossible to completely eradicate.
Moreover, how much more so in modern times where human rights are paramount?
Therefore, the National Defense Forces stockpile more than three times the amount of ammunition before each large-scale operation.
Ensure that all these munitions can be dumped in a short period of time.
Use firepower to shrink the orc resistance's operational area.
William used this method to annihilate the 20-strong orc resistance.
Otherwise, how could we rely solely on the National Defense Force and the Imperial Guard to gradually encircle the enemy in the central plains?
Please, the orc resistance isn't stupid. They can run away, they can break up into smaller groups and cross the blockade.
The National Defense Forces are regular troops and belong to elite units.
Their numbers were already small.
In addition, in this current war, the outer areas are almost entirely the responsibility of the auxiliary forces of various countries.
With Lyon's authorization, the military conscripted more than 60 auxiliary troops from various countries.
However, these auxiliary troops and militias were not really any different.
Most of them are retired soldiers from various countries.
After a period of training, they were assigned to the outer areas to carry out blockade missions.
Most of them have fixed positions.
Although their weapons were not as advanced as those of the National Defense Army, they were basically all AK47s.
Except for the Elven Empire's allied forces, which brought their own M4s, all other countries' allied forces were armed with weapons uniformly distributed by the national defense forces.
The mission of these auxiliary troops was simple: to blockade positions in the outer areas.
They didn't even need to face the orc army directly.
All that's needed is to defend the outer areas using the existing defensive lines.
At the same time, they discovered that the orc rebels were trying to cross the blockade line and immediately opened fire to intercept them.
The situation was reported to the frontline command.
If the enemy has a small number of soldiers, then we must do everything we can to intercept them.
If the enemy has too many people and the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, then the mission of the auxiliary army becomes to delay the enemy as much as possible.
The National Defense Forces did not explicitly require that ordinary troops fight the rebels to the death.
However, in reality, the auxiliary forces were completely outmatched by the rebels in terms of equipment.
Furthermore, since the allied forces of each country have undergone military training, there is no situation where they are unable to intercept the enemy.
Of course, the main reason is that no country can afford to lose face.
You outnumbered the enemy and had better weapons, yet you still let them escape. How are you expecting everyone to face their leader?
When a leader visits various countries, he might not be able to remember who you are for a moment.
Then an accompanying official blurted out a single sentence.
"This is the country that failed to defeat the orcish resistance back then!"
You said this was the cause of the trouble.
Therefore, all countries are putting in their best efforts, hoping to perform well.
After annihilating 20 enemy troops, William did not rush to launch a new offensive, but instead accumulated strength to prepare for the final general offensive.
But to William's surprise, Goodry returned at this critical juncture.
William was still working out the sand table in the command center when the door was kicked open, and Guderian stormed in.
"Oh my god, isn't this William? It's been more than half a month since I last saw him, what happened? He's only annihilated 20 enemies, and the war isn't even over yet? How pathetic!"
William was stunned when Goodry suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Dude, what's going on? Is your Dwarf Empire finished?"
Goodry nodded.
William's eyes instantly cleared.
No, buddy, you mean after you won a great victory in the Orc Empire, your leader transferred you to the Dwarf Empire to put out a fire.
I had just taken over your task and hadn't even finished it when you finished the other task and took over command again.
William's brain went blank for a moment.
Goodry said calmly.
"The leader sent me to take over. On the way, I gathered some information and discovered that we cannot launch a large-scale offensive in the short term..."
William fell silent after hearing Goodry's words.
He certainly wanted to end the battle as soon as possible, but as he advanced deeper into the north, the logistical lines became longer and longer.
The resupply preparation for each large-scale operation takes a long time.
This is why William's preparation time became longer and his victories fewer and fewer.
The other side's influence was already shrinking.
In addition, the preparation time on my side is getting longer and longer.
The command center fell silent instantly.
Goodry is out of options now.
William didn't know what to say.
But in the next second, Goodry suddenly spoke up.
"I think I forgot something."
William looked at Goodry with a puzzled expression.
"It seems we still have a few comrades who have infiltrated the orc resistance..."
Upon hearing Goodry's words, William was instantly stunned.
Dude, why didn't you tell me sooner that something this big was happening?
Looking at William's murderous gaze.
Gudri had unspeakable suffering in his heart.
Because these undercover agents are all well hidden, it would be difficult to achieve the desired effect if they were exposed prematurely.
But now the orc resistance is doomed.
These undercover agents are obviously no longer needed and must be withdrawn quickly.
"How many people are there exactly?"
"There are eight in total, and one of them has become one of the top figures in the orc resistance..."
Upon hearing this, William completely lost his composure.
"What are you waiting for? Go and tell Hans to find a way to get them out!"
William yelled at Goodry, then immediately picked up the phone and called Hans.
Time is money!
