204 Quadrant (2)
“Are you advancing into our foreign territory?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“Hmm, 20,000 troops coming in. I’ve been living, so there’s a lot going on.”
“What should I do?”
So far, the Kingdom of Easterfield has never been invaded since the looting of the southern part of Portugal.
Every attack was Easterfield’s preemptive strike, and with that one attack, the world’s powers changed their reputation one by one.
Belgium was rushing to seize the overseas territories of Easterfield.
Lee Hwan instructed him to show a defensive appearance.
“The artillery force allows them to completely deter the charge of their army.”
“Then let’s build a defensive line right away and advance the troops in the rear.”
“Well, let’s do that, but let’s not show all the troops behind us.”
“We have about 100,000 troops there. Are you saying that we should hide them instead of showing them?”
“There is no need to expose our power. Moreover, it is war that our damage must be small. It’s much better than being blown away by needlessly pushing the numbers.”
The grandson told him to choose only the battles that could be won, and among them, the ones that did the least amount of damage.
There was no other reason, but only one reason.
Because war values the outcome, not the process.
“We have to fight only the unconditional victory. Make it to all the commanders.”
“I choose practicality over bravery!”
“Yes. A commander who chooses the truth is a good commander. Keep that in mind.”
There are many soldiers and commanders in Easterfield’s federal army, and they have learned enough about what is right and what is wrong by learning the manuals and military science created by Yi Hwan.
In addition, through numerous practical battles, the theory was learned in practice, and even ordinary soldiers had the knowledge comparable to any military expert.
If a war breaks out, Easterfield will only be able to lead the situation in the right direction.
“What are we going to support in our home country?”
“Not yet. They don’t know much about it, because we have third-generation tank units stationed in foreign territories.”
Lee Hwan smiled softly.
“Well, then you can watch the game.”
***
Until now, Easterfield has developed all kinds of extraordinary weapons, and it can be seen that there is no science and technology that can follow them now.
Unfortunately, it was a technology that was 4 generations behind, even if it was made by leaking technology, and it was a failure.
What would happen if such an Easterfield 3rd-generation tank appeared before the enemy?
Lieutenant General Steve Floyt, commander of the 8th Tank Corps of the Easterfield Expeditionary Force, ordered the corps’ soldiers to fire in rotational movements.
“Instead of locating the enemy and firing, keep the army constantly moving in a reconnaissance way.”
“Then what about the truth?”
“The reward positions are operated by tow and mortar guns. The self-propelled artillery, along with the former, effectively defends the enemy’s advance, while also blocking the intrusion of the enemy.”
Steve Floyt is a very good mercenary among tank corps commanders.
He is a person who strives to create a slightly advantageous position in any situation, and is a strategist who can boldly retreat if he is not sure that he can win.
In this war, Steve Floyt’s primary goal was to minimize damage to his allies.
“War is something we have to win anyway. If so, how much less damage we do to our opponents, that will be the key.”
There is no war without damage.
However, if the damage can be reduced, the army may have the best synergy in the next war.
In the end, the synergy of the army had to minimize damage in this battle to cover all of morale and momentum.
Steve Floyt’s reconnaissance mobile firing tactics covered the entire wide front and displayed tremendous firepower.
Boom, bang, bang… … !
The moving shots, which were carried out at the right interval and time, were just right to confuse the enemy.
Aww!
“… … damn it! Where the hell is herpes?”
“It doesn’t look like you have herpes nearby. It seems to be shooting at least 10km away.”
“Yes, I will. But even if I trace back, it doesn’t make sense at all, right?”
Artillery also estimates the approximate location of the enemy based on blind spots and fall speed, but now it is difficult to secure the target even if the observer is ahead and pursues the enemy.
This is the deception tactic created by Steve Floyt’s strategy.
The Belgian army lost its way, literally stranded by the first abuse in its life.

Meanwhile, Steve Floyd continued to come up with new strategies.
“The mortars are loaded onto tracked vehicles and fired while reconnaissance mobile fire continues. To confuse the enemy while shooting as fast as possible.”
“Yes, I understand!”
“Also, in the case of large-caliber mortars, use smoke grenades to block the enemy’s view.”
The area that Easterfield artillery recently focused on was special ammunition.
They were developing weapons that could give the enemy nightmares, such as smoke grenades, flares, chemical bombs, or incendiary bombs, rather than general high explosives.
Among them, the smoke grenade is the first commercialized jamming weapon among the recently developed special bombs.
Numerous mortar squads moved around endlessly, firing smoke bombs and high explosives alternately.
Aww!
The Belgian artillery suffered by him was confused and at a loss for what to do.
“… … government pay! It is impossible to observe the enemy!”
“What happened all of a sudden? Fog is everywhere!”
“At this rate, shooting itself is impossible.”
“Damn it! Do you have no choice but to charge or retreat?”
If the current stalemate continues, there is nothing good for the Belgians.
Steve Floyt, who knew this all too well, really tenaciously bit the enemy’s blind spots.
He even burned the rice pods to create a thick smoke around them in order to color the entire area with smoke.
Since there were no forests or farm fields around, he made a fire to his heart’s content.
“Even your allies’ clocks are blurred!”
“it’s okay. We are not specifically shooting at the enemy. It is enough to block the approach of the enemy and bind their feet.”
Now I have lowered the frequency of my shots and fired one shot at a time, about every 15-30 minutes.
But that alone was enough to upset the enemy.
Steve Floyt tied the enemy’s feet like this, while dispatching a sniper to the rear.
“Fill the enemy from 1km behind. Kill as many enemies as possible to get back. However, you must never die in this mission. Is it possible?”
“Not dying is the specialty of our snipers.”
“Okay, so we can kill as many enemies as we can and come back.”
Belgium brought an army that had been living here in the Netherlands for quite some time, but they had no idea how Easterfield’s overseas territories had changed.
Naturally, there are many cases where they do not even know the area of their own land, but there is no way to know what a land that is owned by other people looks like.
Easterfield fortified the entire Ritterkirk, while using the entire area as a training area for the army.
When a new town was planned, the ruins were used as the principal of city battles or used for shooting experiments.
In addition, obstacles were installed in open areas, and in the case of mountainous terrain, principals and traps were installed for perfect guerrilla combat.
If the instructor in charge did not properly familiarize himself with the terrain, the unit could get lost or, in severe cases, die.
That was the fortification of the city that Lee Hwan was talking about.
In such a fortress-like city, snipers could achieve maximum efficiency.
taaah… … !
“Ahhh!”
“It’s a sniper! Cover up!”
Scratch!
“Ugh!”
“Is it the other way around?!”
There was a commotion everywhere.
There was no other living hell, with the soldiers dying without knowing the words and the commanders shouting whale whales to try to save them somehow.
Fortunately, the Belgian sergeants were awake, otherwise the unit would have been annihilated.
The sergeants were blocked from all sides and did their best not to lose sight and blind spots to snipers.
“You must stop moving and overcome the obstacles step by step! Platoon commander, don’t detour the soldiers, let them stand by!”
“… … not! Everyone dies here! Everyone run away!”
Due to the nature of the Dutch army, most of the commanders were old and had a lot of experience, but they lacked a lot of practical experience.

Most of those with more combat experience moved to Easterfield, and most of the remaining veterans moved up to the Dutch Central Army.
The sergeants were almost completely out of their minds thanks to the platoon leaders who went crazy.
Taang!
“Wow!”
“… … Shit! If you do this, you will all die!”
Easterfield snipers are trained only in extreme situations.
He goes to field training four times a year, and receives training by going back and forth between deserts, jungles, Seorak, and glaciers.
In this process, snipers acquire survival skills and shooting skills together, and when there is no field training, they are put into actual operation.
Easter Field’s snipers, who alternate between training and actual combat, experience this every time, it was impossible to catch even one hundred and one hundred ordinary soldiers.
With as many as 80 snipers per day, the Belgian army could not come to their senses.
Even Belgian artillerymen kept losing their gunners to snipers.
Ta-ah!
“Big!”
“Shit! 1st gun, the gunner is dead!”
When the gunners die, there are virtually no people capable of precise aiming.
It was not as easy as I thought to receive training optimized for the artillery sold by Easterfield.
Not to mention that guns are precious, the conditions for proper shooting training were not met.
If it had been the Dutch Central Army artillery unit, the situation would have been different, but now they had no choice but to do their best under the minimum conditions.
Of course, even such a minimal condition was being taken away by Easterfield snipers.
“Strictly enforce the boundaries of the four states… … .”
Whoa!
“Swordsman! Damn it, what do you do with this?! Company commander, the artillery officer is dead!”
“… … I will return.”
There was nothing the Belgian army could do about being the commanders or anything and being both a target and a corpse.
However, if we were to advance, we were afraid of the enemy’s fire, and if we were to retreat, our pride did not allow it.
In short, we are in a deadlock, which is also an unfavorable deadlock.
