".I am the temporary commander Lu Ping'an. Our soldiers have just achieved a huge victory."
". By shooting down Sky Knight 147, the Os people should have lost most of their reconnaissance Sky Knights. For all the warriors who are still fighting freely, your safety will be greatly improved."
"We have successfully destroyed a large number of their vehicles, especially the artillery-carrying vehicles that pose the greatest threat. We have confirmed that more than 60 of them have been destroyed. There should not be many bases outside of them. There is no need to worry about them sending out heavy firepower to hunt you down."
"I don't expect you to support me, but don't you have any grievances? Don't you want to take revenge? The outer bases of the Ossians should all lack security now."
"Of course, this is for us, destroying their logistics and support can effectively help our front, but this is also for you. Everyone knows that if we are finished, you will be the next one to be hunted."
".Help yourself."
Lu Pingan put down the phone and took a sip of water.
He was still just sitting here silently, but at this time, no one could ignore him.
Since the battle, he has just done whatever he wants without discussing it with anyone else. The radio network is in his hands, and there is no need to discuss it.
But every move he made seemed to have been anticipated and calculated, and it actually changed the situation of the battle.
".Report, we received a call back, someone said they will attack the Osman camp, but they need us to provide coordinates and intelligence"
"Respond to them, use the public frequency directly, tell us all the bases of the Ossians we know, and let the Ossians be vigilant on their own."
Lu Ping'an has never thought that radio networks have so-called security, and he doesn't have high expectations for the security of private and encrypted channels.
Even, in a sense, this is for the Os people. As long as they are willing to transfer the frontline combat power back to defend the base, the pressure on their side will be reduced.
They don't move? That doesn't matter, but what will the logistics personnel at the bases behind think? Taking into account the reality that they may be attacked on the way to support, will their enthusiasm for support and delivery of logistics be affected?
This was a clear conspiracy, and it was also what Lu Ping'an had calculated from the beginning.
He knew that there were still people from the East who were afraid of war. It was impossible for them to come over, and most of them would even voluntarily leave any battle.
But now, their mere existence can distract the attention and strength of the Ossians, which is enough.
"Have a safe road. Will many people really attack the Osman base?"
Wang Xier was a little hesitant. She actually looked down on those cowards who were "fearful of war".
In their cultural system, people who don't even dare to fight for their own survival have no need to live at all.
"Yes, I believe in their (desire to survive). No one is stupid. If we lose, there will be nothing. As long as the danger is not great, they will do something."
Those who left/were unwilling to come should have dispersed into small groups in order to avoid the attention of the Os people. But this made it even harder for the Os people to defend themselves.
When the positions of prey and hunter are reversed. No, just discovering the possibility of this "role reversal", the hunter will easily become suspicious and fall into a dilemma.
Regardless of whether they actively search for Dongguo people around the base or reduce the intensity of support, the Dongguo people on the main battlefield have made a profit.
".Contact those who are powerful through the encrypted channel, persuade them to help attack the Aussie supply convoy, and then give them the locations of several key bases."
Bet on both sides, neither side will lose. Lu Ping'an only said a few words, which caused a lot of pressure on the Os people.
The command room was in order, and a group of "big guys" had unknowingly gathered around where Lu Ping'an was sitting.
Lu Ping An, who has been "good at making claims" time and time again and achieved good results every time, has taken command power into his hands through actions.
Victory is always the best behavior to build prestige.
Lu Ping'an thought about it, drinking tea and reading a book, as if he was not in a hurry.
In fact, everything he could do has been done.
".Don't we do something now?"
"The more you do, the more mistakes you make. Let the bullets fly for a while."
Lu Ping'an was quite open-minded. In fact, he didn't issue any forced orders along the way.
But Major Qian Guozhong, who had just returned, was a little anxious. He felt that such important combat time should not be wasted. He always felt that something should be done.
As he said that, he wanted to stand up and at least let his own people serve as supervisors and go down to check.
But at this moment, he was stopped by Lu Ping'an.
"We are not an army, we are just a group of scattered teams and individuals. Passwords and orders will only arouse resentment, and supervising the battle team will arouse more hostility and vigilance."
Lu Ping'an saw clearly that from the beginning, he did not "guide" this war by commanding the legion.
Yes, it is guidance rather than command. There may be someone in the Ossian people who can comprehensively dispatch all the troops, but absolutely no one on their side can do it.
At this moment, Lu Ping'an thought of the battle of Shilong again, the poor battlefield commander who had no choice but to rush forward and shouted "It's okay, I can handle it".
Perhaps, at that moment, he could only pray and pray that his desperate efforts would make the people behind him willing to follow.
"Everyone stays here to survive. They will evaluate their own safety every time they take action. If you want them to do their best, you must create an environment that adapts to their needs. You want them to leave the safe area and actively attack the Ossians. ? Maybe we can do it reluctantly, but we must also be prepared for the possibility of a collapse. Once it occurs, it is absolutely unacceptable and is tantamount to declaring our complete defeat."
From the beginning, Lu Ping'an's position was very clear.
Directly command and dispatch a total war? I have neither the authority nor the ability, nor the environment.
He can only guide the general trend and strive for an environment that is most suitable for him, so that everyone can spontaneously fight for their own survival.
"Don't worry, you see, they are all in this camp now, and they can't escape. As long as the Aussies dare to come up, both sides will inevitably bleed and cough. Our people will show what an Eastern countryman should do." Brave and good at fighting."
The development of the battlefield to this point was originally planned by Lu Ping'an.
This is a clear invitation to surrender, and on my side, there is an additional "burning cauldron". Now that it is impossible for both sides to accept prisoners, everyone's escape route is cut off, and they will naturally become warriors who fight to the last moment.
He cannot order everyone, but he can make everyone survive for himself and fight under the conditions he desires.
".street fighting?"
"Well, you could also say it was trench warfare."
"No wonder you said from the beginning that you would knock out those artillery and air force at any cost." Major Qian suddenly understood.
He knew that there was a follow-up plan. If the Os people responded quickly, the elites on Lu Pingan's side would forcefully attack the artillery position at all costs. Lu Pingan himself was ready to take the field himself.
"If they were here, trench warfare would be a joke," Lu Ping'an smiled. World War II was also due to the development of bombing and artillery, so the trench and barbed wire tactics of World War I gradually lost their deterrence.
At this time, Lu Pingan was not only talking to Major Qian, but also to other people in the headquarters.
He needs to unify his thinking. That kind of unilateral wise man often only exists in legends. If you want the headquarters' strategy to be implemented more accurately, you need more understanders, supporters, and executors.
".From the beginning, weren't you optimistic about the field battle?"
"Nonsense, if we win the field battle, we won't be forced into this corner."
"Our people are stronger, individual strength"
"Compared with the Ossian mercenaries, our organization is even worse. Compared with the professional soldiers of the Security Department, we are just a group of stragglers who will break up at the first touch."
Putting everyone into this "Jedi" is tantamount to giving up the initiative in the war.
Major Qian thought about it and understood.
It's not that he doesn't understand, it's that he has been in the army for a long time and is used to giving orders and not being afraid of sacrifice. He really didn't expect how low the lower limit of those stragglers was.
If you really leave the bunker and have a direct confrontation, you will probably have a large number of deserters on your side immediately.
The morale built up in order to survive will dissipate faster when their lives are threatened. Even if they clearly know that it is slow death, as long as the first deserter appears, they think of "Why can't I escape?" , will quickly complete the rout.
This is not because the explorers of the Dongguo people are not strong or brave enough, but because they are civilians who came here to make a fortune and find jobs, and it is already difficult to force them to participate in the war.
Then, in order for them to exert their combat power as much as possible, the only way is to create an environment where they have no escape route and can only survive by working hard.
Major Qian looked at the sand table. The continuous mountain road had been built into a real-life trench maze, dotted with sacred bone bunkers one after another.
After knocking out the long-range firepower and air force, the only way to conquer this fortress is to break through these mazes head-on.
And under every bunker, there were professionals.
".Many people will die."
"Huh, does it sound like we won't die more if we use other methods? As long as the battle line collapses, everyone will be finished."
Lu Pingan smiled and looked around.
"Now, we have no retreat and no other options. We win, everyone lives, we lose, everyone dies."
At this moment, everyone looked at Lu Ping An with more respect but also hidden fear.
He had been waiting for the cruelest war of attrition and flesh-and-blood millstone from the very beginning.
He waited for the Aussians to rush up the mountain helplessly, and then fight every inch and every step.
He was waiting for death and wailing, waiting for the trenches in the mountains to be filled with corpses.
Among all the options, Lu Pingan chose the most passive one of "doing nothing" and "waiting for the Aussies to attack", but it was the most cruel and effective choice.
"Do you know this? Oh, from the moment we never choose frontal combat, this is inevitable. Do you still expect those guys to take the initiative to walk out of the trenches?" Some people seem to have seen through everything, but don't plan to say anything.
"It's really the Black Warrior, he's ruthless enough," someone muttered, and then began to sort out the information.
"But this is the strategy with the highest winning rate and the most survivors." Someone could only sigh helplessly and go to arrange logistics.
"Isn't this great? Let's see if the Os people are ruthless, or we are ruthless enough! When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins!" Someone was laughing, and then walked out.
