Chapter 1799: The Vast Net
The female students completely broke down after a day of practice.
They never imagined that there could be something more painful than reading abusive novels.
At first, some of them thought that these male instructors were very strict and demanding.
But after these female instructors joined, the female students suddenly regretted it, regretting that they had previously complained about the male instructors in their hearts.
They found that the male instructors were much gentler than the female instructors.
Male instructors might feel some sympathy, but female instructors don't receive as much sympathy, because they were trained in the same way.
Why can't you endure the hardships we could in the past? Or are people nowadays all useless?
The female students could only grit their teeth and persevere, and the female instructors did not back down at all. The male instructors, seeing this scene, couldn't help but feel worried for the female students.
Two days passed like this.
Goodri in the north really gave the orc rebels a good beating.
Thanks to Gudri's flexible deployment and his exceptional skill in fighting with fewer troops, the front lines did not suffer from troop shortages. On the contrary, Gudri was able to free up an armored division to conduct guerrilla warfare.
It should be noted that the total number of troops on the front lines is currently around 45.
However, in reality, Gudri committed only about 40 to the front lines, or even 35.
Meanwhile, the number of Orc Empire rebels has been surging, from 600,000 to 800,000, and just recently another 100,000 young men have joined.
The total military strength has now reached 90.
However, 30 of them were filler babies.
These soldiers were basically cannon fodder.
In fact, hiring a line filler is a very unwise choice.
This is especially true for the current orc resistance.
The Orc Empire is currently in the post-war recovery period.
The number of young and middle-aged people in the country is limited.
If all able-bodied men were sent to the battlefield, the entire orc empire would be completely cut off from its lineage.
However, the orc rebels clearly wouldn't care about such things.
In their eyes, they are now just like the bald man who started the civil war.
They'll stop at nothing to win, and they never actually analyze the situation.
The orc rebels only care about their own interests.
For these orc rebels, whether the orc empire would be destroyed or not was irrelevant; their only concern was whether they could have enough to eat.
The resistance forces fed them well and brainwashed them, making them believe that the Great Yan was a bad force.
The orcs, who were already in the early stages of enlightenment, were instantly filled with hostility towards the National Defense Force under the instigation of the resistance army.
The resistance army raised the banner against the Great Yan.
The Great Yan Dynasty had no way to deal with this; they couldn't possibly carry out a large-scale purge.
They can only gradually educate these ordinary people, making them understand what is right and what is wrong.
Everyone, regardless of age, must pay the price for all their wrongdoings.
The orcs have chosen to join the resistance, so they will have to pay the price for the resistance's downfall in the future.
After the fighting on the front lines gradually stabilized, Goodry began to pay attention to what was happening at the rear. When he learned that Ryan had moved to the basement to take a family photo, Goodry felt a little sad.
Although Ryan is incapable, even a useless person.
However, Lyon never mistreats those who have made contributions. As long as you stay put and behave yourself, Lyon will never get rid of you casually.
Lyon would never kill those who had rendered meritorious service.
This is why senior military commanders spare no effort in commanding battles.
You reap what you sow. As long as they work hard enough, their achievements will be enough to support them in their old age.
That's why the national defense forces are so powerful.
Most of the senior officers were ambitious, while the young soldiers were eager to make a name for themselves.
With the support of powerful weapons.
How could such a national defense force not achieve victory?
The orc rebels were horrified to discover that even with their forces increased to 90, they could not stop the National Defense Army's offensive.
Moreover, they found that as the war progressed, it became increasingly difficult for them to conscript men.
The number of young and middle-aged men in the Orc Empire is nearing the warning line.
Although the National Defense Forces do not massacre prisoners, the number of young orcs who died in the war is countless.
Especially some of the defeated resistance forces.
After being defeated by the National Defense Forces, they fled in disarray.
As a result, they vented all the anger they suffered on the battlefield on their fellow countrymen.
They began massacring villages, and even cities.
Just to vent the anger in my heart.
As a result, many national defense forces found numerous cities littered with corpses after advancing.
His disgust for the resistance fighters deepened even further.
The front lines have now stabilized.
After capturing the capital of the Orcish Empire, Goodry built a temporary defensive line in the central region, relying on the capital.
This temporary defensive line relies entirely on a portion of the unique terrain for defense.
The defense line was extremely rudimentary, but for the orcs, it was an insurmountable chasm.
Under Gudri's instructions, the entire frontline army gradually shifted from offense to defense.
This puzzled many orcs.
The orcish resistance leaders were somewhat puzzled, as they believed the National Defense Force should now accelerate its offensive and expand its gains.
This would allow them to completely crush the orc resistance.
But Gudri had his own reasons.
Because there is still a large area in the northern part of the Orc Empire.
If they continue their offensive now, the orcs will continue their northward retreat, at which point the National Defense Forces' supply lines will stretch to an unpredictable length.
The longer the supply line, the greater the pressure on the soldiers at the front.
Especially for the armed forces, which are primarily reliant on firepower, the supply lines may be stretched too thin to keep up with the ammunition consumption at the front.
That's why Goodley deliberately built a temporary defensive line in the central region.
The Orcish Empire's resistance will never surrender, and they will strive to reclaim the south.
They will surely assemble their forces to attack Gudri's defenses, and it will be difficult for a force of hundreds of thousands to break through the defenses of the National Army.
So after careful consideration, Guderian decided to take decisive action in one fell swoop.
Proactively allow the Orcish Empire's resistance army to attack the defensive line, while simultaneously concentrating all forces for a massive annihilation campaign.
At that time, as long as the main force of the Orcish Empire's resistance is annihilated in the central defense line, the entire Orcish Empire's resistance will collapse without a fight.
Gudri's plan was comprehensive and received approval from the General Staff.
After learning that the military affairs had come to an end, the General Staff did not reclaim Gudri's command of the front lines.
Because the high command is still angry, and they believe Guderian is fully capable of commanding the entire front.
Rather than letting the General Staff direct Guderian, it would be better for Guderian to command the entire battle himself.
This way, the command can also reduce casualties.
This will allow Gudari's talents to be fully utilized.
Gudari quickly devised a summer offensive.
They need to hold the central defensive line for a month.
The orcs were instructed to find a way to gather all the orc resistance forces near the central defensive line.
In order to convince the Orcish Empire's resistance that the National Defense Forces had switched from offense to defense, Goodry requested the High Command to allow the Dwarven Empire's garrison to begin taking action.
After careful consideration, the command ordered the 4th Infantry Division of the 2nd Infantry Army of the National Defense Forces stationed in the Dwarf Empire to begin operations.
The Dwarven Empire also has resistance forces, but they are located in the deserts and are quite different from the Orc Empire's resistance forces.
Within the Orc Empire, although these Orc rebels are hidden deep in the mountains and remote areas, the National Defense Forces can still encircle and wipe them out if they so choose.
But it's different in the Dwarf Empire.
These dwarven empire rebels hid directly in the desert and Gobi.
Each time the National Defense Forces went to encircle and suppress them, it required a great deal of effort and energy.
If they don't make thorough preparations, they could very well suffer heavy losses.
Every time I go to the Gobi Desert, the biggest enemy is not the rebels, but the weather.
The terrifying temperatures severely impacted many military vehicles.
Especially tank units.
Once you enter the desert or Gobi, the failure rate rises sharply.
In the heart of the Dwarven Empire's desert, surface temperatures can reach as high as 60 or 70 degrees Celsius.
If you drive a tank over there and let it sit in the sun for a few hours, you can fry an egg in it.
Although the tank has air conditioning, the engine's failure rate increases sharply when operating in this temperature and environment.
Once the tank breaks down, the Dwarven Empire rebels will emerge from all directions and launch a surprise attack on the National Defense Force.
The IDF soldiers inside the tank were alright.
But the infantry behind them suffered greatly.
After getting off the vehicle, they had to brave the scorching heat and fight against these desert natives.
This is not only physical torture, but also mental torture.
Upon receiving orders from the command, the 4th Infantry Division immediately contacted the Elven Empire's army to the north, as well as the Elven Empire's garrison within the Dwarven Empire. The 20-strong army began to suppress the resistance forces within the Dwarven Empire.
Of course, they were just putting on a show. Meanwhile, under the operation of the intelligence agency, a very serious incident occurred within the Dwarf Empire.
That was a citizen of the Great Yan who was abused and brutally murdered by the dwarven resistance.
Of course, this citizen of Great Yan was not actually a true citizen of Great Yan.
He was just some heinous criminal in the intelligence agency's military police prison.
This time, a reason was needed to convince the orc resistance that the National Defense Forces' strategic focus was shifting.
With the cooperation of the intelligence agency, the incident quickly escalated and soon became a national sensation, with a large number of citizens petitioning the parliament.
Let Parliament declare war.
Parliament was stunned. How could public opinion suddenly be so agitated? Many of the members of parliament were unaware that the entire incident was orchestrated by the intelligence agency.
But that doesn’t stop them from being patriotic.
After understanding the full story, the council agreed to the request to wage war against the Dwarven Empire's resistance.
The military command decisively ordered the troops to begin operations.
Meanwhile, thanks to the intelligence agency's extensive propaganda, the orc resistance in the north quickly received news that the National Defense Force was at war with the dwarven resistance.
The National Defense Forces are now caught in a two-front war.
Combined with the recent phenomenon of Goodry withdrawing his battle lines, the Orc Empire's resistance army was completely convinced that this was their golden opportunity!
Once they can defeat Gudri's army, their weaponry will be completely upgraded, and at that time, they will be qualified to march south and dominate the country!
But imagination is beautiful, reality is cruel. To be precise, they had already entered a vast net laid by the Defense Force and the Intelligence Agency from the very beginning.
