PS: I couldn’t sleep, so I got up and wrote a chapter to see how many night owls there are.

“Can this be lost? Is your army so useless?”
“Can this be taken? Is the government army so useless?”
In the combat meeting room of the Ministry of Defense of Sirenia and the highest command of the tribal coalition army, there were almost simultaneous shocked curses.
…
Adra Province, also known as the Central Province in Sirenia.
As a province with a desert coverage rate of nearly 80%, it has a population of only more than 80,000.
The capital Atar has only more than 30,000 people, but it has been a strategic place on the trade route between North Africa and West Africa since ancient times.
This is why the French Directorate-General for External Security chose to believe when the tribal coalition explained that the attack on the Central Province was to cut off Burkina’s aid to the Sirenia government.
Attar is connected to the capital, Wakte, through two dirt roads. The farthest road is more than a thousand kilometers long, and the closest road needs to pass through Akte.
Akte has been controlled by the tribal coalition.
As long as Attar can be occupied again, the land route between the Sirenia government and Burkina can be completely cut off.
The Sirenia government also realized this.
“France is not blocking our coastline now, just wanting us to abandon Attar on our own initiative. This is the so-called ‘surrounding three and missing one’ in the Eastern military strategy.
After the tribal coalition occupies Attar, France will definitely send the navy to block our coastline immediately, so that Burkina cannot help us.”
Although the Sirenia government has not seen the weapons and ammunition shipped from Burkina yet.
But they believed that as long as some time passed, there would be a steady stream of weapons and ammunition shipped from Burkina.
Because the explanation given by Burkina was very reasonable.
“Our arsenal has just been built, and many equipment still have problems. The workers are not yet skilled, and it will take time for the production line to operate.
Wait for a while, at most one month, and we will definitely deliver the weapons and ammunition promised to you. You won’t be able to hold on for even a month, right?”
Therefore, the Sirenian government urgently dispatched two battalions of regular troops and one battalion of militia to Attar.
Together with the troops originally stationed here, the total number of people is as high as more than 1,500!
Other places are deserts, and it is a problem whether you can get out after entering.
The tribal coalition army can only attack along the road, and the Sirenian government naturally defends along the road.
Now, both sides are fighting for the town of Telji.
The town of Telji is less than 30 kilometers away from Attar and is the gateway to Attar. As long as Telji is lost, it is only a matter of time before Attar falls.
The main purpose of the tribal coalition army’s top brass ordering the troops to attack the central province was to delay the progress of the war so that they could have more time to strengthen their own strength.
Therefore, the tribal coalition army’s top brass would not really capture Attar, and naturally would not order the troops to attack Telji with all their strength.
Their original plan was:
Fighting hard in Telji for more than half a year, and capturing Telji with difficulty. Continue to fight hard in Attar for more than half a year, and finally occupy Attar at a “very heavy” price.
The result was something that the tribal coalition army’s top brass never expected.
When their troops launched an attack on a key area of Telji as usual, they did not encounter any resistance from the Sirenian government forces.
“Where are the Sirenian government soldiers? Where did they go?”
The frontline commander of the tribal coalition army was very puzzled, and then happily occupied this key area.
The fall of this key area caused the Sirenian government forces stationed in other areas to think that the defense line had been broken.
In order to avoid being surrounded, the main reason was that they were too afraid of death.
The commanders of the Sirenian government army unexpectedly led their troops to withdraw from the defensive positions without receiving any orders.
“The defense line has been broken, and there is no point in continuing to defend here! Moreover, other nearby troops have run away. If we don’t run away, we will not be able to escape!”
Then, the tribal coalition army inexplicably occupied the town of Telji!
The most important thing is that the retreat of the Sirenian government army to Attar soon turned into a rout to Attar.
Although there is only one word difference, the actual difference is greater than the gap between humans and dogs!
In addition, if you wantWhat do the top brass of the tribal coalition have to do with the middle-level officers and lower-level soldiers who want to delay the war?
They didn’t know the real thoughts of the higher-ups. After discovering that the Sirinian government troops had retreated, they immediately pursued them non-stop.
Immediately afterwards,
The retreat of the Sirinian government troops turned into a rout!
It’s still one word different.
But it was precisely because of the difference in this word that the tribal coalition army captured Atal in a confused manner, and encountered almost no resistance.
“Why did the government troops suddenly collapse?”
The frontline commanders of the tribal alliance army did not realize what happened until they occupied Atar.
When news of the capture of Atal spread back to the high command of the combined tribal forces.
“Are you kidding me? We were still fighting hard in Telgi town in the morning, but we captured Atal in the afternoon? What on earth are the frontline troops doing? Can they send the wrong telegram content?”
The senior leaders of the tribal coalition army once thought that the frontline troops had sent the wrong telegram.
After repeated confirmation.
After learning that Atal was really occupied.
The senior leaders of the tribal alliance army were all stupid!
“What’s going on? What happened? Why was Atal captured so suddenly?”
“We originally planned to fight the Battle of Atal for at least a year and a half, but it ended like this? Am I just dreaming?”
“We didn’t even order the troops to attack with all our strength. How can this be defeated!? Are the government troops such useless people?”
The senior leaders of the tribal coalition were very helpless, but the matter had come to this, and they could only occupy Atal in tears and take control of the central province.
When the news of Atal’s fall was sent back to the Ministry of Defense of Sirenia.
Not only were the top brass of the Sirenian military confused, but the officers of the Buginian officer corps were also dumbfounded.
We know you are weak, but you are not that weak, right?
Yevich Fomin, who had been promoted to colonel, even yelled angrily: “Can this fall!? Is your army such a waste? Quickly find out what happened!”
Under pressure from the Buginian officer corps, the Sirenian army began to investigate why Atal fell.
The senior leaders of the tribal coalition are also curious about this, so they are also investigating why they were able to capture Atal.
Then,
A result that made them unable to believe their eyes was placed in front of them.
“The troops who originally planned to change defenses were planning to delay the change of defenses by two hours because the weather was too hot at noon, and waited until the sun was no longer so strong to change defenses.
The troops stationed in this area thought that the replacement troops would arrive soon, so when the time came… they left damn early! ? “
