All true masters of tactics know the truth. If there are no flaws, it means there are flaws everywhere. Unless you have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, spreading your own strength is actually a serious problem in itself.
The so-called military superiority here is not simply defined in terms of quantity. It represents the absolute combat effectiveness advantage and the power to defeat the opponent.
Flix divided his troops into three parts, which in itself was a great waste of the so-called "forces" in his hands. Naturally, it was even more impossible to gain a military advantage over the Tang army.
However, from a sound perspective, his plan satisfies at least several countries: as long as there are no problems with the defense line, it is logical to organize a local counterattack.
You can't just passively defend all the time, right? The Tang Empire can wait, but countries like them that are passively being beaten cannot afford to wait.
Judging from the age of the emperor, the Tang Kingdom also has the advantage: the emperor of the Tang Empire is less than forty years old and in his prime...while the emperors of other countries are not young anymore.
Even Lions II, who inherited the throne, was actually a few years older than Tang Mo, but anyone with a discerning eye could see clearly that he was almost the worst among the emperors of the coalition.
As long as the current emperors die of old age, the chances are that their successors will be worse. By then, Tang's advantage will only be greater.
These are the private thoughts of several emperors. In fact, even their ministers don’t quite agree with this judgment: Just kidding, you yourself can’t beat the Tang Empire, and the Tang Empire still needs time to survive.
How many countries’ current emperors have died?
Flix's return to the front line did play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army. The commanders of several army groups heard from him that the capital city of Joslina was temporarily safe, and they were somewhat relieved.
Their family members are still there. If something unexpected happens, of course they will not be unaffected.
Several human coalition generals also met with Flix, and a group of generals had a simple lunch together. During the meal, Flix learned about the Tang Army's counterattack in the Rewind Port area after he left.
"Marshal, the Tang army did occupy several of our defensive positions, but there was no large-scale advance. It seems... they probably launched this round of offensive operations to attract our army's attention."
The general from Sussus expressed his opinion.
"Don't be careless! We haven't figured out the Tang Army's intentions yet, so we can only infer. But I think the Tang Army's offensive capabilities must be more than that, so I also think they are attracting our attention." from the Lions Empire.
The general also followed suit.
Everyone has now learned to be cautious, or in fact, they have all been frightened by Tang Jun. At this time, in order to avoid major problems, everyone is more conservative.
Flix nodded, wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, looked at the leftovers on the table and said, "I roughly understand. The Tang Army has only had limited attacks in the recent period, which really seems to be attracting us."
This is probably to cooperate with the Tang Army’s actions in the southern part of the dwarves, so that we don’t dare to go north easily.”
"But they obviously miscalculated." He put down his handkerchief and continued: "We have no plan to counterattack elsewhere, so our attention has always been in the direction of Rewind Port!"
"Now that the troops are in place and supplies are smooth, our plan can begin. According to the agreement, a group army in Susas, a group army in the Yangmu Empire, and a group army in the Lines Empire will be divided into three groups to launch a counterattack in mid-March!
"He made up his mind and launched the first phase of the action plan.
Since the Tang Army seems to have no intention of rushing south in March, they will start the battle of Refeng Port first! If the border defense line can be recaptured, then the coalition's situation can at least be more stable.
"I think it's okay! Lines' troops are ready for battle and can launch a counterattack at any time." The general of Lines Empire nodded and said.
The general of Susas also made up his mind and echoed: "The troops of the Susas Empire will follow the plan and push as far as possible to the agreed position...at any cost."
Flix crossed his hands, propped his elbows on the table, and said firmly: "The elves will also join the troops, and the three armies will advance together to recapture the Rewind Port!"
What he wants is not the final madness like the dwarves, nor the false victory like Sheko's victory in Darkas.
What Flix wants is to truly recapture Rewind Port and take back an important city occupied by the Tang army. Firstly, it can stabilize the morale of the army and stop the decline. Secondly, Rewind Port is indeed a strategic location worthy of his attempt.
After all, Refeng Port is the Tang Army-controlled city closest to the coalition front line. If we can't recapture this place, then recapturing other places will be out of the question.
…
"Reconnaissance satellites have confirmed that...the coalition forces have assembled a large number of troops in the south, east, and northeast directions of Rewind Port...the other party is likely to launch a large-scale attack in mid-March." Far away in the Everwinter Port headquarters.
In the intelligence department office, the staff had spread the photos on the table.
These nearly vertical photos show various military facilities, train stations and troop assembly areas. Many of the photos are even in color, and you can clearly identify patches of tents and airports filled with planes.
A long train in progress.
"We have monitored their communications and have confirmed the numbers of several units. To the northeast is an army group of Lines, to the south is an army group of Sussus, and to the east is the army of the Yangmu Empire." An officer from another department.
Smiling, he placed the report on the edge of the map.
"The person who came here is not a good person!" The staff officer who presided over the meeting pinched his chin and burst out laughing: in his opinion, this was another military tribute from the coalition forces to the frontline troops.
The one backed by Rewind Port was the First Army of the Tang Empire. He seriously doubted whether the three armies on the opposite side would be enough to give General Hogg a meal.
How terrifying is the 1st Army with smooth supplies and sufficient air cover? He couldn't imagine it, but the other side would know the answer soon.
"Distribute the opponent's force composition, attack direction, and numbers to the relevant departments... If we carry out targeted bombing first, do you think it will scare the enemy away from coming out?"
After he had laughed enough, he asked a more serious question.
"I think... as usual, I'd better pretend to be blind first..." several of his subordinates said reluctantly.
