Chapter 801: The Mountain of Bones 10

Brewster clenched his fist and waved it fiercely in the air, then shouted angrily: "If it weren't for the sudden weather, I would have led the army to conquer these bastards long ago!"

"We can't just stand by and watch these damn bastards show off their might in our territory. Once they get here, I guarantee that their invasion will be put to an end and this place will become their grave!"

Dingle listened quietly, but his thoughts were not shaken at all. After Brewster finished speaking, he still said calmly:

"Before the Macedonian campaign, I thought so too, but the Yan people taught us a cruel lesson. Using Heinrich as the place for the decisive battle is definitely not an ideal choice for us."

"Sir, you need to think about this carefully."

Brewster snorted coldly and said, "By the time the Yan people have traveled a long way to get here, they will have been exhausted. Even if they want to rest before launching an attack, I will not give them the opportunity."

"If they don't take the initiative to attack, then I will lead the army to attack directly and catch them off guard!"

"On the contrary, if they try to attack directly, we will resist the attack. When the Yan people have almost used up their ammunition, I will lead the army to attack and wipe them out."

The voice just fell.

"If we can't withstand the Yan people's offensive head-on, our army will suffer heavy casualties and miss the opportunity to defeat them," Dinggel said in a deep voice.

"Impossible!" Brewster waved his hand and said loudly:

"Are you kidding me? What do you think this place is? This is a military base! Since it was built, it has never been breached by any enemy!"

"With me in charge, how can they be breached?!"

Looking at Brewster's confident look, Dingle shook his head helplessly.

Before coming to the military base, Missby told him that Admiral Brewster was a radical and confident man, and that was indeed the case. After all, Brewster had a distinguished record of military exploits. In the early battles of the empire, he led his troops to win more than a dozen battles in a row. The enemy was even terrified when they heard the name "Brewster". But this time the enemy was too strong, so strong that it was even unrealistic and unreasonable.

Facing such an unpredictable enemy, it is most appropriate to adopt conservative tactics, but now Brewster is no longer willing to listen. Perhaps only when the battle begins will he realize how serious the situation is.

Thinking of this, Dingle said somewhat disappointedly: "I hope so."

But these depressing words immediately angered Brewster. He glared at him and scolded, "Boy! I know that you were the one who commanded the Macedonian Campaign. This battle caused the deaths of more than 100,000 of our soldiers. Although there are uncontrollable factors, you are still too young. If Bernhardt had commanded it personally, perhaps it would not have been like this!"

"But you didn't shirk your responsibility, but actively came here to give me advice. This at least shows me that you are a responsible man. I know that your conservative tactics are based on previous failures, but now the task of eliminating the Yan people has been handed over to me. I will let you realize the power of the Imperial Army!"

Dingle sighed in his heart and said:

"Well, sir, no matter what tactics we adopt, the goal is to defeat the enemy, as long as we don't underestimate them."

Brewster waved his hand and said, "These guys not only have impressive combat capabilities, but are also quite cunning. How could I underestimate them? Of course, caution is necessary, but I will never miss an opportunity because of caution."

Hearing this, Dinger's eyes flashed, and he said smoothly:

"Sir, in this case, you may consider keeping a backup plan."

Brewster frowned.

Dinger went on to say, "The main force will remain at the military base, and a portion of the force will be sent to set up ambush points in the mountains. In case the situation becomes unfavorable, our army still has room to maneuver."

Brewster pursed his lips, lost in thought.

Dinger then said earnestly: "I know you want to keep all the troops in the military base to fight a decisive battle with the enemy. Dividing the troops will indeed damage the combat effectiveness of the entire army, but you must always keep some in case of emergency. If the base is in crisis, the troops in the mountains can also provide support. Of course, it would be best if the Yan Army was defeated."

After hearing this, Staff Officer Jacob's heart moved, and he looked at Brewster who was thinking and said:

"Sir, what Dingle said can be considered."

"We now have twelve divisions of troops. With such a large force concentrated in one place, it is difficult to fully exert its combat power due to the influence of the terrain. So sending one or two divisions to the mountains to deploy defenses will not have much impact on our overall situation."

Brewster said in a deep voice: "Only with enough troops can we defeat the Yan people and encircle and suppress them at the same time."

"I don't want to end up with them running around everywhere."

Hearing this, Dingle shook his head: "Being able to defeat them head-on is already a very significant victory for us."

Jacob followed up, "Sir, this is not a battle that can be won quickly."

Hearing the two people's objections, Brewster frowned, looked around and said, "Do you all think so?"

"Sir, I think what Dingle said is right. We have to leave room for maneuver. The military factory fell quickly because they did not make any backup preparations. It was a painful lesson and we should be vigilant." An officer spoke up immediately after Brewster asked.

Dingle looked at the person who spoke, it was Harris who had evacuated from the military factory and came to the base.

Harris noticed Dingle's gaze and sighed, "If the soldiers in the military factory could be deployed when you were fighting the Yan people, perhaps the outcome of the battle would be different."

"But......"

Dingle shook his head and sighed, "General Harris, that is a thing of the past. I believe Davis had his considerations at that time. Let us focus on the present."

Harris fell silent with a gloomy face, and his silence was exchanged for several voices of agreement.

After collecting other people's opinions, Brewster made a decision:

"Willie, take your 35th Infantry Division to the mountains to deploy defenses."

"The other troops will engage in direct combat with the Yan people."

Dingle frowned and said, "Sir, are you only sending one infantry division?"

Brewster rolled his eyes. "What else? Do you want me to send two cavalry divisions?"

Jacob looked at Dingle and shook his head, saying, "Infantry is the most suitable for mountain warfare. Cavalry cannot play its advantage there..."

Brewster waved his hand and said coldly, "No need to say more! I'm just making a backup plan. You're talking as if the military base will definitely be captured. That's impossible."

Seeing that Brewster was determined, Dingle stopped trying to persuade him and said, "Sir, please let me join the 35th Infantry Division."
