195 – Cigarette Light (4) – Siege of Lunetsk
It didn’t take long for the Uk ranian army, which had been driving into the turmoil, to realize that something had changed.
According to the original strategy, at the time of the 3rd transcendence, the Soviet Imperial Army had to be killed in Lunetsk.
There are also reserve echelons of each division that were returned to the rear for reorganization due to the disastrous war that unfolded at the same time as the war broke out, so it is the imperial army that will cause a huge supply demand.
From food to ammunition to equipment to oil.
As long as the direct supply line from the empire is cut off, ‘local requisition’ is of course indispensable to cover that much supply requirement.
Of course, friction with local residents is bound to arise.
In the process, what if you secured air supremacy and hit a continuous bombardment with Diabola, while blowing a leaflet containing the empire’s atrocities and appropriate appeasement to Sobi?
It is worth looking forward to the great butterfly effect in which the citizens of Lunetsk, who were already tired of the gutter-like reality, fall in love with the Imperial Army stationed in Sobi and stand up.
It should be said that it is a psychological warfare strategy that has become a trademark and specialty of the Uk ranians, which was baked and boiled at the Azov National Liberation Front during the last Quernen War.
The imperial leadership would have thought that if they just established a puppet state called the Principality of Lunetsk, everything would be under their control.
When people’s most basic human rights, food, clothing and shelter, start to be violated, then everyone becomes a gangster.
But isn’t war always going as planned?
Two days after the start of the 3rd Transcendence Operation.
A report came to the Uk ranian Special Operations Command deployed in the eastern part of Lunetsk that troops presumed to be Sobie Imperial forces were observed.
“First of all, send a reconnaissance party to closely check their affiliation and respond appropriately.”
The first action taken by Josef Lewandowski, commander of the 1st Assault Brigade, a unit deployed in that area, was the manual itself.
Enemy troops suddenly popped out from the rear of the deployed troops.
There were two possibilities, reinforcements from the north or stragglers from the south.
The former was unlikely.
The right to supply is already in the hands of the Uk ranian Army.
Interestingly, the Soviet Empire, despite developing modern aircraft at best, was sluggish in organizing an air force.
The ruins of the closed bureaucracy unique to the empire.
Even within the Army, factions were divided and they were arguing over the command authority of the Yeonsin Air Corps, and the high-ranking generals’ understanding of the new weapons was not very high.
It was no different from the Uk ranian army before Enoch Levandel and Sonny Zeppelin emerged in earnest.
In order to confront Uk ran, which is considered to have a strong air force, it was urgently assigned an air battalion under the command of the special operation force…….
As soon as the war began, they were excluded by the 1st Fighter Wing led by Roxanna Elim, so air supremacy had no choice but to pass to the Uk ranians.
Thanks to this, the Uk ranians regularly conducted aerial reconnaissance of the Soviet Empire without any threat, and were able to grasp the movements of the Soviet Empire forces deployed in the border area in detail.
The conclusion drawn from the process.
It was the fact that at present, the Soviet Imperial Army could not reinforce the ‘Special Operation Force’ deployed in Uk ran.
As soon as the secret correspondence between King Orlando I and Enoch Levandel reached the Republic, two cavalry divisions led by Vienne Sigorsky, the cavalry commander of the Rania Army—now commander of the Vienne Cavalry Army—deployed on the Haraneu front. It literally crushed the 193rd Cavalry Brigade and the 13th Infantry Division in consumption.
Even though the empire strongly protested against the untimely 2:1 situation, a personal letter delivered directly by Orlando I, King of Uk ran, was revealed, and the Republic of Polania gained sufficient justification in the international community as a legitimate military alliance of Uk ran. .
It didn’t stop at that, and it began to put strong pressure on the empire by strengthening the troops deployed in the border area.
In this situation, it is impossible for the Imperial Army to add reinforcements to the Lunetsk area.
It was an invasion order given hastily without proper judgment from the beginning.
The Expeditionary Force (a.K.A Special Operation Force) that was deployed in the Uk ranian direction was the spearhead in a good way, and a throwaway group in a bad way.
It seemed that the Soviet leadership completely gave up reinforcements in the Lunetsk area at the point where the unimaginable foolishness was not enough and the Republic of Polania was even given room to intervene.
Therefore, it was not unreasonable to assume that Joseph was a defeated soldier from the front line, Edasa City or Sherkiu.
Of course, if it was a battalion-level personnel, it would have been enough to cross the border in the dark…….
Sending only a battalion-level manpower to save Lunetsk made no sense in common sense, unless it was an army made up of only ‘mutants’ that we saw at the Limansk arsenal.
However.
Before the scouting party sent out like that came in.
The defensive line established behind the Assault Brigade came under a massive attack.
“According to the testimony of the soldiers, at least one regiment! It is reported that it can be confirmed on a larger scale as well!”
“We also have less artillery firepower! The building’s strength and height are relatively low, so the damage to our defense lines is serious!”
It was only then that Brigadier General Josef Lewandowski realized that the leadership of the Soviet Imperial Army was not just filled with incompetent people.
In addition, did you even realize the existence of a relief pitcher?
“This is an urgent message from the 2nd Brigade. They said they received a reconnaissance result that Lunetsk garrison troops are currently gathering in the direction of our brigade.”
The remaining forces stuck in Lunetsk were also squirming.
“Draws allies’ defense line up to 3rd! Lieutenant Colonel Claude Lane, your unit should take over the delay until the rear defense line is formed!!”
“What are you talking about? I will leave immediately.”
“Send an urgent message to the nearby 7th Mobile Brigade and request support! All available air corps!!”
“Okay!”

Imperial forces, what should we call them now?
The prodigal son? Abandoned child? Or the Soviet-affiliated Lunetsk Puppet Principality Army?
Anyway, the final resistance of those who fearlessly set foot in Uk ran has begun.
Joseph Lewandowski and the Uk ranian Special Operations Forces were ready to crush the rebellion.

“The imperial army suddenly appeared in Sobi in the direction the special agent deployed?”
“Yes… ….”
I was dumbfounded by the news that Lumia Bluet had delivered. I heard that the power of the 52nd Mixed Division evaporated along the Sherkiu axis, so are they trying to break through one point?
“Who was the commander of the 52nd Mixed Division?”
“Oldek Mitaev.”
“Oh, damn it.”
I remembered names that I had forgotten for a while. In fact, since the grand strategy itself had already been established, there was no time to even think about the composition of the 52nd Mixed Division in the east.
However, Oldek Mitaev was one of the few officers in the Imperial Army of Soviet that I had my eyes on.
First of all, it is a world based on the game Hearts of General.
Like great men in history who appear in other strategy simulation games, there are certain longevity in each country in this world.
Someone like Count Petrinand of the Reinhalt Empire and cavalry captain Johannes von Weissenberg whom I first met a few years ago.
As he said, Captain Johannes has now become the ‘Tank Battalion Commander’ of the Rapid Response Force in the Western District of the Reinhalt Empire.
Without exception, Count Petrinand was in the state of being a lieutenant general of the newly created Reinhardt Air Corps.
It is only natural that such great commanders gradually begin to emerge on the surface amid the growing atmosphere of World War II.
Oldek Mitaev was one of those great generals.
Strictly speaking, he was a ‘largely matured general’ who was put in from the beginning of the war and aimed at the king in the latter half of the war.
The overall stat distribution is low, but the more you put it into the battlefield, the more explosively your stats increase.
It was a soup pick that was always used from the latter half when Sobie Empire players took over most of the real power.
‘How many times have you looked at your military strength and continued to grow during that time… ….’
So the idea was to pulverize the troops as quickly as possible, leaving no room for growth and withdrawing the imperial army.
Anyway, it seemed that they had chosen a last stand rather than a retreat, as they were driven into a corner.
At least I should have left the retreat open.
“What should I do?”
I answered Rumia with a cautious voice.
“Is there anything I can do or not do? In fact, at this point, our Mobile Brigade’s role is over.”
Lunetsk is completely blockaded.
Since the ultimate goal of this operation was to recover the lost provinces, it was supposed to reorganize the troops or reinforce the surrounding defenses.
So I thought I’d turn around my troops and help the 32nd Division deployed in Edasa City.
If the other side called for a fight first, then of course you’d have to accept it.
“Let’s make it clear to them what mobile defense is.”
