Chapter 1421: 28. Land and Blood (1)

Lieutenant Colonel William Bitrich is carrying out routine dismantling and maintenance of firearms.
As a middle-level cadre of the army, a school-level officer, and a garrison commander stationed in the rear city, Lieutenant Colonel Bitrich’s chances of visiting the front line should actually be few. In today’s war that has ended, it is impossible for such an opportunity to exist. .
The reason for the lieutenant colonel's patience to maintain the matching gun is to wipe every component tirelessly, then oil, assemble, wipe, and calibrate... because this is a good habit he has cultivated during his time in the military school. How did the unlucky eggs who were severely punished for neglecting to maintain firearms hold up their guns, jumped around the playground for twenty laps of rabbits, and jumped and shouted, "This is my gun! This is my wife!" No one has the courage to forget to take care of their weapons; the second is that although the war is over, the rebellion, or as the Charlie Man called it, the uprising is far from over. As a garrison commander of guerrillas and bandits frequently infested areas, a weapon in good condition, ready to be fired at any time without failure is his most important life support. In such ghostly places where gunshots or explosions can be heard from time to time, as long as one day does not wipe the weapon, the lieutenant colonel and his soldiers will feel very uncomfortable.
From the moment the dictator ascended to the throne in the Hall of Mirrors of the Palace of Versailles, Alfheim was officially upgraded to the Holy Gilmanian Empire, and the Defense Army was also upgraded to the "Empire Defense Army", commonly referred to as the "Defense Army" in China. ", foreign countries call them "Imperial Army". The former name is obviously more intimate, but the elves do not hate the latter name, which is obviously unfriendly, and it is also regarded as a glory to a certain extent, and is an invincible symbol of this army.
However, this army, which can be called a sword in the hands of the empire, is in trouble.
It is not an adjective, nor does it describe the problem. Lieutenant Colonel Bitrich and his third "Prince Eugen" mountain brigade are in deep trouble and cannot extricate themselves. The troops are filled with unprecedented anxiety and dignified atmosphere.
The third "Prince Eugen" Mountain Brigade is one of the first batch of mountain troops formed by the Defence Forces. It is a veteran force. It has proved its worth in a series of operations after the war, especially in the combat of the Vosges Mountains. The descendants of the Carpathian mountain elves used their actions to prove to the world that they fully inherited the sturdiness and bravery of their ancestors. At the same time, those who are very Carpathian-style styles-that is, those who do not have any enemies The soft hands and the brutal way of dealing with the enemy also impressed the world.
It can be said that this is a force that is notoriously strong enough to be a material used by mothers to intimidate and obedient children. However, this group of beasts is trapped, like trapped beasts that have fallen into traps and cages. Anxious and angry, but nervous.
This should not be the case.
It is important to know that their opponents are not regular soldiers, but a group of scattered soldiers and untrained militiamen, but such a group of people actually let the well-equipped and well-trained imperial army regular mountain brigades helpless, or even on the verge of madness.
This is really a ghost.
Why does this happen?
Officers and soldiers are thinking about this issue. Some think that the enemy is too cunning, some think that the above is not enough attention, and enough investment, and another one thinks that the single cell directly thinks that it is too little to kill, killing all people, and the problem is No longer exists.
Lieutenant Colonel Bitrich only gave a long sigh to the speculations of his people.
Why does this happen? The answer is actually very simple, because this is a security war that the Imperial Defence Forces are most reluctant to see and face.
There is no regular field army willing to fight security. Not to mention that the training content they receive is basically used to deal with enemies who are also regular troops, rather than fighting patiently with the guerrillas who haunt the lower limit. What's worse, you can't tell the guerrillas from ordinary people at all, but the guerrillas know exactly where their targets are and how to effectively kill and exhaust their opponents. In the face of endless casualties, the troops cannot endure forever, retaliate against the villages that support the guerrillas, create "no man's land" blockade guerrillas, even use chemical and biological weapons to "sweep" and other cruel things. Will appear. During this period, it will inevitably cause casualties to ordinary civilians, and the families of the dead and injured will become guerrillas or guerrilla supporters, which is equivalent to adding fresh troops to the guerrillas. On the contrary, due to the delay in solving the problem, morale will continue to decline, and a large number of troops and resources will be contained in the secondary battlefield, which cannot be deployed in a more important direction.
That's why the security battle is tricky.
What "Empire cemetery", "Vietnam quagmire", "Guerrilla paradise" are all the same, each is a huge dung pit, full of blood and all the sins of the world, trapped in every one of this pit People, regardless of good and evil, will eventually become devil and become part of the dunghole.
The EbookFREE.me~ that fell into the pit today is the third "Prince Eugen" mountain brigade.
The "Prince Eugen" brigade traveled to Evian for two months. The city leaned against the Alps in the south and Lake Leman on the border between Charlemagne and Serres in the north. The city has a beautiful scenery, overlooking the snowy mountains of the Alps, near the lush green trees and grass and pleasant lakeside scenery, the mineral water produced by it is even more famous. A large number of guests come here every summer and autumn to enjoy the famous mineral baths and beautiful lakes and mountains. It was not until the beginning of the war that tourists gradually became scarce and replaced by a large army of refugees who could not see at a glance.
At that time, the Defense Force bombers were wreaking havoc in the sky of Charlemagne, and various types of guided rockets and bombs spilled tons of death and destruction on the Charlemagne. In order to avoid the air raids, some Charlemagne began to move towards the border near Serres. Because Seres is a neutral country, in order to avoid diplomatic disputes caused by accidental bombing, the Defence Force Air Force rarely visits the border areas. As the war situation worsened, more refugees began to flow, and the rapid influx of large numbers of people led to the emergence of public security incidents. Vicious cases occurred almost every day. Fights and fights were staged every hour and every minute. In order to fight for the supplies of life or the opportunity to go to Serres, deserters and soldiers blamed each other, the gentlemen became mobsters, the women wept over their faces, and the children seemed helpless. For a while in a small town like Evian, I spent every day in fear. I'm afraid that this beautiful town will be destroyed by an unreasonable riot.
After all, the goddess heard the prayers of the people, and the war was over. Charlemagne announced an unconditional surrender, and Ceres repeatedly announced that he refused to accept all refugees, and the crowd gradually subsided. Everything seems to be back to its original state.
Just when the residents of Evian had just breathed a sigh of relief, the "Prince Eugen" brigade was stationed in Evian, and that beautiful town was completely changed from that day.
