Chapter 1848 Northern Front War
Just as the paratroopers were launching a blitzkrieg in the desert.
At this moment, the war within the Orc Empire gradually entered a stalemate.
After Gudri left the front lines, the new commander, lacking experience, was unclear about the rebels' specific operational plans.
He attempted to use the formulaic tactics he had employed with the former National Defense Forces to deal with these orc rebels.
The problem is that the traditional tactics of the National Defense Forces were designed to deal with regular armies.
It expands outwards from the main highway.
But things are different now; these orc rebels are mostly hiding in the deep mountains and forests, waging guerrilla warfare.
It is difficult for the National Defense Force to wage an encirclement and annihilation war.
If it weren't for the brilliant victory that Goodry won before leaving, annihilating 20 enemy soldiers, the orc resistance would be even more formidable now.
After a major battle.
Without exception, all the surviving orc rebel soldiers became experienced veterans.
For these experienced veterans.
They already have a solution.
Faced with the large-scale encirclement and suppression by the new commander of the National Defense Forces, the Orcish Resistance repeatedly broke into smaller groups and decisively chose to abandon everything in the central region.
Instead, they focused their efforts on the northern region of the Orcish Empire, especially the area near the Glacier Base.
They intend to use the severe cold to limit the armored forces of the National Defense Forces.
The problem is that the armored forces of the armed forces are not so easy to limit.
All they knew was that the armored forces of the National Defense Forces included 99a.
They believed that the 99a was simply incapable of fighting in frigid regions.
But the problem is that the real Type 99A has been to high-altitude areas.
Moreover, a significant portion of the tanks in the armored forces of the National Defense Army are Soviet-made tanks.
The biggest advantage of Soviet tanks is that they are not picky about terrain.
Whether it's the frigid Siberia or the scorching Sahara.
T-series tanks can be seen everywhere.
Although sometimes the T-series tanks are not so reliable.
But what can we do when the older brother built just too many things back then?
Since we can't win by quality, we can only win by quantity.
The new commander clearly doesn't understand guerrilla tactics.
He naively believed that armored forces should be relied upon to fight on the front lines.
However, the National Defense Forces launched several operations in succession, but failed to eliminate many of the enemy.
This caused the commander's reputation to plummet.
He was initially just a high-ranking officer who was dissatisfied with the commander.
As things progressed, the young soldiers gradually began to resent this commander who didn't understand warfare.
The best way to deal with guerrilla warfare is to fortify the walls and clear the fields.
All the orcs in the rural areas were relocated to the big cities.
This ensures that the orcs have no rural base.
The reason for doing this is that there are still many die-hard supporters of the Orc Empire within its borders.
These die-hard Orcish Empire loyalists have been informing the Orcish Empire resistance forces.
However, the National Defense Forces could not possibly kill all the orc civilians.
This is no different from a massacre.
They are the people's army, not executioners.
The National Defense Forces will only deal with traitors, those who eat the food Leon gives them but then turn around and frame Leon.
These orcish people have no sense of gratitude whatsoever.
To be precise, they don't know how to write the word "gratitude".
Since that's the case, there's no need to be nice to them.
After realizing that the new commander was unfamiliar with the battlefield situation, the senior commanders of the National Defense Forces gradually began to hold their ground and wait for reinforcements.
The war has entered a stalemate.
These senior officers must be accountable to their subordinates.
They certainly didn't want their troops to suffer too many losses.
To put it bluntly, they don't want to make unnecessary sacrifices.
The commander also realized his mistake.
He did not rush to give orders, but instead ordered the front line to consolidate its defenses.
Both sides had a moment to catch their breath.
However, the National Defense Forces and Air Force did not stop at all.
Fighter jets and bombers have been on the move.
They did not want to give the orcs any chance to breathe.
The problem is that the Orc Empire is simply too vast.
Fighter jets and bombers cannot cover the entire sphere of influence of the dwarven resistance.
The National Defense Forces are finding this very troublesome.
However, they now need to wait for the commander to formulate a new plan.
It can be considered a last resort.
Just as the two sides were at an impasse, William was about to return to Lyon to report to Lyon.
Because he had to prepare a summary report on the operations at the front.
Goodry is now rushing off to the Dwarf Empire as a troubleshooter.
As the highest-ranking officer on the front lines, he naturally became the official reporting for duty.
William quickly returned to Lyon and soon gave his report to Lyon.
The report is actually quite simple; it simply describes the specific battle situation and points out some of the army's shortcomings, such as what mistakes a certain officer made in this battle.
How serious is it? Is it a fundamental error?
The armed forces allow for mistakes, but not for errors.
Because people are not machines.
There will always be times when even the best-laid plans can go wrong.
After a brief report, William returned home.
William's residence was located in the first district of Lyongrad.
This place is home not only to high-ranking officials of the Great Yan Dynasty, but also to some of the earliest residents of Lyongrad.
These residents' status is actually not bad.
For example, William's two neighbors.
His two neighbors were ordinary people.
However, these two neighbors were already living next door to William when he was promoted to regimental commander.
The neighbors live together and have a very good relationship.
They knew William had become a high-ranking official, but they had never asked him for anything.
Because they don't really pursue material things.
In addition, they were among the earliest residents.
I have a very wide network of contacts.
Sometimes it can go directly to Lyon.
Therefore, they don't value material things or money much.
After completing his report, William promptly went home.
Because he really wants to see his wife and mother right now.
His younger brother, Freystein, has been promoted to brigade commander and is currently leading his brigade in defense on the front lines of the Orc Empire.
William originally wanted to bring his younger brother back as well, but of course, the location of Flesterm was more important.
William would not abandon his men out of familial affection.
So the younger brother stayed there.
When I got home and opened the door, I was greeted by the aroma of food wafting from the dining room.
William looked towards the restaurant.
At that moment, Ruth was having dinner with her mother in the restaurant.
The two nannies also sat at the end of the table, eating in small bites.
Upon hearing the door open, Rusna turned around, her previously calm face instantly breaking into a wide smile.
"Honey, you're back? Weren't you on the front lines? The orc resistance can't have been wiped out so quickly, can it?"
William didn't answer his wife's question immediately. Instead, he rushed to the dining table, sat down, and without thinking twice, scooped up a bowl of radish soup and started drinking it.
Seeing her husband's appearance, resembling a reincarnated starving ghost, Rusna couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
"Slow down your drink! There's still plenty of soup! Look at you, where's your commander-in-chief demeanor?"
"Yes, you're a high-ranking official now, managing hundreds of thousands of people. Can't you act like one?"
William was immediately displeased upon hearing this.
"I'm a general outside, and I have to be a general at home. So is this home or a military camp?"
Listening to William's mutterings, the mother was somewhat stunned, while Lusina's eyes were full of tenderness.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it anymore. How long are you coming back this time?"
After William finished three large bowls of soup, he spoke slowly.
"I don't know yet. At least two days later, after I finish my report, the leader decides to send a batch of weapons to the front lines to relieve the pressure there."
This orc resistance has been hiding deep in the mountains and forests, and has even now fled to the northern ice plains, which is a great test of the soldiers' willpower.
To reduce soldier casualties, the leader decided to reinforce the frontline troops.
As he spoke, William snatched his rice bowl from the nanny and filled a large bowl with rice for himself.
As a general who rose from humble beginnings, William has never enjoyed a single day of extravagant living, even now.
He believed that extravagance would lead to moral decay.
On the contrary, a life of integrity makes him feel that his life is meaningful.
"That's good. I estimate that the resistance should be unable to hold out after this batch of equipment arrives."
Rusna shared her insights.
William nodded, then immediately started showing off his food.
As he spoke, his mother and wife chimed in.
"By the way, how have you been lately? Has anything unusual happened?"
Rusna said decisively after hearing the result.
"Did anything unusual happen?"
Seeing his wife's smiling face, William did not suspect anything.
But when William saw his mother's hesitant expression, he realized something was wrong.
"What do you mean? Honey, you're being naughty! Are you hiding something from me again?"
William's expression changed instantly.
