Chapter 64: The Dawn Is Quiet Here (4)

Both Milk and Jugovic looked at me after VuriΔ‡ asked the question, and I organized my language a little before saying, "I want to divide people into two parts. Some of them are inside the garrison as a defensive force, while others are outside the garrison, and this part of the people is used as a force to feint or frighten the other side. ”

"Split into two parts? Aren't you afraid that the count's head is not as complicated as you think, and directly assemble a team to storm the garrison? What to do then? Milk asked.

"Afraid! Of course I'm afraid! If that happens, aren't there still people outside the station? These people were evacuated in response to the people in the station. Let's get out of here. I said.

Hearing me say that I have plans to retreat, Milk, who advocated abandoning this place before, has no opinion, he didn't continue to speak for a while, but the relatively radical Wurich said unhappily: "We give up here so easily? Where else would we go without this? That abandoned barracks? What if we retreat all the way and the other side pursues all the way? We're going to run all the way? ”

"Calm down! Calm down my friend. I'm not done yet. I said, gesturing to myself and the others here, "We have come here from time to time to defeat the battle, and I have thought carefully about what difficulties we will encounter if we give up here." But the most important thing is not the place, but the people! I can't just give an account of the people Ivanovich left behind and who are still willing to work with me. If you want to fight hard or die in battle, you have to draw it or have no other choice. As long as our team is around, are we going to keep losing? I said and sighed to stop Vulich, who was about to speak, "When I'm done, don't worry." First of all, I suppose there is little chance that the earl's head is as Milk said. I don't need to explain this, right? You should know the Count better than I do, and I think it would be more logical for him to be a reckless man than a suspicious and cautious person. Therefore, he will not think about it repeatedly, and he will not take the time to test the temptation and ignore the onslaught. ”

Hearing me say this, Vulich's emotions slowly calmed down, I thought for a moment and continued: "Second, even if the Count decides to attack without hesitation, we will not give up so easily. At least they won't be complacent tonight, they have to bite something off him, don't forget, we and the Earl will fight even if we don't fight today, the conflict between us and them is inevitable, so retreat and retreat, the battle still has to be fought, the difference is that we have a good grasp of proportion, don't invest too much. In fact, if you think about it, if the Earl really came with a large group of men, then they should be more eager for us to fight him, or at least they are ready to fight us. And what about us? What are the preparations? Do we all know that we are just starting to prepare, the decisive battle? I don't think it's better to turn a large-scale battle into a small, short contact, which would be more beneficial to us. I lit a cigarette and took two puffs and continued: "Thirdly, it seems to me that it is more likely that the Count will hesitate and think that we have a trick and want to play tricks on him. This should be the most logical way of thinking, but in order to make sure that he is wrong, yes, that is, to make him wrong, we have to act and give him a good taste. At that time, he will definitely waver, from his point of view, his biggest enemy should not be us, at least at this moment we should not be on the list, then he will definitely want to save his strength so that he can keep it against the people he really has to deal with or guard against. As long as he thinks so, then we win. ”

"How to distribute? Who's out and who's inside? Jugovic asked.

I lit another cigarette, "I'm here." Milk and I brought in the middle of the man to drag the oil bottles, and the gardener and the veteran followed me. Milk, you take the rest of the people outside. After I finished speaking, I looked at Vurich and Yugovich, "Vurich and Uncle, the two of you pick the man, remember that if you are a good hand, you will personally lead the outside with Milk." ”

"We've taken all the good hands away, what about the defense of your station?" Vurich spoke.

I shook my head, "Don't worry about our station. The outside is the key, and the inside and here just hold on and hold their posts. But you are different, you need to quietly leave the station, and then get close to the Count under the cover of night, give him a ferocious attack, and be able to quickly move after the opponent reacts, fight and retreat, and come again. This requires your personnel to have relatively rich combat experience and relatively high quality."

I looked at VuriΔ‡, "I hope to be able to follow the command of Milk and Yugovic after the night, every battle is important to us now, and any mistake will cost us dearly." So I hope you can take people to fight with all their might as we say, and don't be impulsive. ”

Vulich looked a little surprised to hear me say this, he opened his mouth to look at me for a while, and then suddenly stood upright, looked ahead and said seriously: "I promise to complete the task!" ”

"Good!" Before I could speak, Milk, who was on the side, patted Vulich on the shoulder and said.

I nodded, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief when I heard him say this, now this team is complicated, and life is not easy. I looked at Vurich and said, "You leave Bogdan to me, and I will let him take me in command of the people you left for me." ”

"No problem." Vulich happily agreed.

"Okay then." I said and looked at the old guy Yugovich, "Uncle's reconnaissance of the other party and the communication between the two parts of us will depend on you and your people. It's getting dark now, uncle, where do you think it's appropriate for you to hide and attack? ”

Yugovich nodded and said, "No problem, I'm not a stranger to this area, and it's not difficult to communicate back and forth." As for the hidden place, I think it would be better in the woods across the road. The terrain is slowly rising, and it is wooded, which is convenient for concealment, and if you really want to cover your retreat, the terrain there is more advantageous. It is unlikely that they will come from the road, which makes it more convenient for us to quickly touch the Earl and them from a certain part of the road. ”

"Not bad!" I nodded, "It's best to get the scouts out first." Stay on top of each other's movements and equipment. It is estimated that the Earl's temptation will be very powerful, and we must be prepared for their onslaught, and at that time I hope that we will not panic, since we have to dress ourselves up strong, then we must hold on, but then you people outside should not be idle, or we should deal with us, in case something goes wrong, we will be broken if we are not controlled, and it will be a big joke if we leak and trap. ”

Milk nodded, "Don't worry, we know where the center of this operation is." It's nothing more than a sentence, being able to hold the station and scare the other party is the first goal. If the opponent is unscrupulous and onslaught, then cover your retreat, and then continue to maneuver. ”

"That's right, that's it. In a word, even if we are forced to abandon this place, we must preserve the strength to continue fighting, and find a way to continue to inflict damage on the other side. After I finished speaking, I looked at Vurić and Yugovic, "Any more questions?" If it's about how exactly you're going to fight outside, then don't ask me, ask him. I said, gesturing at Milk.

Vurich and Yugovic looked at each other, and Vurich said: "That's no problem. ”

"Good. Then hurry up and pick people. Call Bogdan in, and the oil bottle gardener and the veteran. I snuffed out my cigarette butt and opened the door, "Bring enough ammunition and dry food to prevent unfavorable situations." ”
