225 – Last Army Standing (1) – Across Kikkus
Since half a year has passed since the war started in February. In the meantime, the Uk ranian battlefield had moved from Lunetsk to Polania, and from Polania to the lands of the Soviet Empire.
The number of casualties increases every day.
At first, even the people, who were firmly united with antipathy toward consumption and the empire, were getting tired little by little from the ongoing battlefields and the sadness of losing loved ones.
It was no different from the officials of Orlando’s royal cabinet who actually took power.
Noblesse Oblige.
After the corrupt bureaucrats were completely uprooted by the Uk ranian Civil War, those who replaced them proved their integrity through their actions.
Their sons and daughters joined the battlefield. Among them, of course, there were those who lost their blood relatives more important than their lives in the endless war.
“Your son died fighting bravely.”
“…… Is it.”
It was no different in the case of Ernst Pell, Minister of War.
Following Abi, who was a natural soldier, as soon as the civil war ended, she entered the military academy and took a military course.
I heard that he achieved outstanding results in several battles and rose to the rank of captain, but in the end he left without seeing his face.
“Give me some alone time.”
“Yes.”
It’s rattled.
With the wooden door closed, Ernst Pell leaned against the backrest of the sofa in a space filled with quiet silence.
Yes, war was originally like this.
No matter how much the upper heads brag about its importance, the souls who died there do not return.
At one time, he insisted on attacking and occupying the center of the empire in Soviet, but now that he thinks about it, he realizes how close he was.
He recalled a conversation he had with Enoch Levandel when he was the head of the Defense Planning Department and the War Planning Department.
-I will never conquer the Soviet Empire.
-We only have the role of piercing the flames sleeping inside.
-With that alone, Uk ran will be able to establish itself as a pivotal country leading the future.
As it was said, the operational doctrine of the Uk ranian army was focused on the keywords of edification and liberation of the people, not occupation.
Isn’t it because Red October and everyone else were able to cooperate relatively gently with General Soviet because they were able to receive a definite answer to that?
“God, protect our country.”
Ernst Pell looked out the window as he muttered.
A war that broke out in a season when snow was piled up. Soon the season of flowers and vegetation will pass, and the season of hot sun will pass.
Now, in the fields, trees with colorful colors are beginning to appear little by little.
-We will end the war before winter comes.
-There is no need to continue a war where there is nothing to be gained.
The voice of the hero who was now promoted to lieutenant general and was fighting directly on the battlefield shimmered.
-When the time comes, the Minister of War, please take care of the post-war situation.
– Uk ran, for the glory of the fatherland.
Ernst Pell closed his eyes, clutching the pendant containing his family picture in his hand.
To the point where Enoch Levandel’s voice could be heard before his son’s death. He is a very good father himself, thought Ernst Pell.
War.
War was a terrible thing.
And it seemed that such a terrible war was finally coming to an end.
***
I will complete my military service by this winter.
That was my plan.
No matter how strong our soldiers’ morale is and how hard the enemy is, winter is not a good season to launch an offensive.
Soldiers don’t even sleep in a well-heated building.
The country I was dealing with was a country modeled after Napoleon’s collapsed Russia and Hitler’s collapsed Soviet Union.
If the war drags on like this, parts of the country will still face a severe cold that cannot be compared to that of Uk ran, which belongs to a temperate climate.
It was clear that the soldiers would freeze to death, and the supply command’s demand for cold-weather supplies would overflow and explode.
Around the time when the advance was sluggish.
It is certain that the Soviet Empire will attack again after resolving the domestic chaos.
The soviet imperial army that will be greeted at that time will be different from the ragtags you’ve seen so far.
A catastrophe occurs in which everything I have been preparing for is gone.
‘We must stop that!’
So I overworked myself a little and made an offensive plan. While the aftermath of the Great Purge still lingers in the Soviet Army, shaking up internal forces in conjunction with Red October.
If the conditions for winning the war are the capture of the capital or the downfall of the imperial family.
It is not necessary that the people who will take on the role must also be Uk ranian soldiers.
“The Southwest Army Group of the Soviet Empire has been captured. However, the problem is Army Group South, which is blocking Kikkus, and we expect the troops to face after the first offensive are the 31st Division under the 9th Corps and the Guards Armored Division.”
I sat down and focused on what the chief of staff was reporting.
“The strength of the Guards Armored Division appears to be mostly Bertrand T tanks, but one heavy tank battalion will also be assigned.”
“Dusain and Denur couldn’t even scratch, didn’t they?”
“Yes, so close air support from Diavola is desperately needed. Or, we have no choice but to deploy more and more anti-tank magicians operating the AS-1.”
Diabolara.
If we could temporarily secure the right to supply, we would be able to put in enough.
In any case, even the Katerav tank that Soviet boasts is helpless against 105mm shells flying from the sky.
It would be even better if there was a tank destroyer that could move on tracks and provide direct support from the ground.

‘Unfortunately, the Uk ranians aren’t even capable of operating anti-tank self-propelled guns yet.’
It was also incredibly difficult to produce a field self-propelled howitzer that only had a field gun mounted on the body of a Dusaeng tank.
In the midst of that, making a tank destroyer by re-designing it from scratch is a waste of time and resources.
It was for this reason that I was able to quickly get the AS-1’s line supply up and running with Lieutenant Colonel Debra Bennett.
Magic weapons that use mana as the main output source were able to be produced and deployed quickly, unlike gunpowder weapons that require complicated structures anyway.
Even if it was a half-penny magician who was only 3rd and 4th grade, it was a strategy that could only be used by Uk ranians, whose numbers were ignorantly high.
“First of all, let’s bring Diabola for fire support. If the Close Air Support Team members who are playing right now hear it, they will go crazy and jump up and down.”
Just like that, August 20th.
Operation Day.
To put an end to everything, dozens of planes took off from Polania’s airfield into the sky.
Since the sortie was carried out with only a minimum reserve force left, it was in fact an air operation with the maximum force that the Uk ranian Air Corps could produce.
As a group of bombers loaded with explosives of all kinds crossed the sky above the Imperial defenses.
Waaa-
Kwaaang! Bang!!
The flames of flame embroidered the defense line.
Soviet Imperial Army, who had just woken up from the hellfire from Uk ran, delivered by surprise at the time when people’s nerves were at their most relaxed, fell into confusion.
-Shouldn’t bombing be carried out during the day when the visibility is clear to achieve higher strategic goals?
-Anyway, with today’s technology, we can’t even dream of precision bombing. They simply operate at night with the idea of terrorism.
In the first place, as an aerial weapon, it was the bomber that even the Reinhardt, which could not match its quality, could not operate properly.
It’s not like Diabola’s low-flying low-flying and accurate bombardment, but the level of dropping bombs as if dropping airborne troops while passing the path in the sky.
As long as you have such a mechanism, there is no difference in the fact that the accuracy rate is poor whether it is day or night.
And the main game wasn’t actually bombing.
“Contact from the Special Operations Command! It is said that we have reached the skies above the target area of operation!”
Reinhardt used a large airborne force and had quite a bit of fun throughout Polania. Probably, if we hadn’t brought the armored army out of the blue and entered the tentacle meta, the main force of the Polania army would have been eaten up and directly penetrated to the capital.
And the one who gave birth to the doctrine of airborne operations, that is, the origin is Uk ran.
In addition to the Polania 1st Airborne Division, which has just completed training and deployed, airborne troops from the Uk ranian Special Operations Command land on the land of Kikkus.
“Okay. We also advance the cavalry.”
“The cavalry advance!”
“I have received a report from Major General Olena Deriugina of the 1st Armored Division.”
“Lieutenant Colonel Ervin Ruth of the 332nd Tank Battalion, 1st Armored Division! Encounter the enemy infantry battalion!”
“In accordance with the judgment of the field commander of each zone, ensure that the small unit missions assigned to each unit are carried out by any means!”
One chance to destroy the empire.
The first and last “Expedition” Offensive of the Uk ranian army, which had been thought of since the days when he served as the head of the War Planning Department, has begun.
The Uk ranian 6th Corps under my command.
Uk ranian Special Forces and Polania 1st Airborne Forces led by Joseph Lewandowski, newly promoted to Major General.
Pollania Northern Command, which has been fighting a relentless battle against the Soviet Empire for several months, and Vladimir Trotsky’s Red October, which has been steadily building up since five years ago.
A total of 150,000 troops combined.
The lives of those who would have lived faithfully in their daily lives were now at the tip of my baton.
The feeling of pressure weighing heavily on his shoulders.
Even though it’s been six years since I’ve been possessed by this world, I still can’t get used to it.
