Chapter 231: Command from the Sky

by karlmaks — Countless unit tokens representing both enemy and friendly forces flashed and moved clearly on the map. Every unit’s designation, troop strength, and casualty status were presented to him in data form. Morin’s gaze quickly found the position of his Imperial Guards First Instruction Assault Battalion on the map. He saw that Steiner’s 4th Company and the Battalion Headquarters unit were still holding the South Bank bridgehead of the railway bridge, establishing a secure evacuation route based on…

Chapter 82: Inspection

by karlmaks — When Morin received the news that His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince would be inspecting the troops, he was leading the soldiers of the 1st Company in practicing earthwork. In fact, the Saxon Army, and armies worldwide, already had the concept of digging trenches, but they were mostly shallow, 'half-man-deep' early trenches where soldiers would lean forward. Human armies have a long tradition of building field fortifications, but at this time, it was not yet thorough or systematized. Morin was…

Chapter 114 The Squad Firepower Problem

by karlmaks — Compared to attending a banquet, Morin found he preferred contemplating unit organization and equipment issues. And once he entered that state, he couldn't help but keep thinking. So, after considering the weapons for the assault team members, Morin felt that the riflemen should not be neglected either. Currently, all infantry in the Imperial Army were equipped with bolt-action rifles. Their accuracy was indeed good, but the rate of fire was too slow. In the increasingly fast-paced, rapidly…

Chapter 146: Benchwarmer

by karlmaks — “You’re half right.” Morin nodded in approval. “Think about it, what kind of unit is our Instruction Assault Battalion that we are training?” Morin did not wait for Manstein to answer, but began to analyze on his own. “We are a direct unit of the General Staff, bearing the title of ‘Imperial Guards,’ and we are a pilot unit that the Crown Prince personally oversaw and strongly supported.” “Sounds like a grand title, right?” Manstein subconsciously nodded. “But…

Chapter 178: Defensive Deployment for Street Fighting

by karlmaks — The Instruction Assault Battalion had suffered over one hundred and ten casualties after the capture of Liège Fortress, the surprise attack on Charleroi, and the brief but fierce cavalry engagement. Excluding those with minor injuries who could still fight, the actual combat reduction was already close to one-tenth of the unit. Morin knew clearly that compared to the bloody battle they were about to face, the previous engagements were, at best, mere ‘appetizers.’ General Ludendorff’s order was…

Chapter 210: Saxon-Style Tachanka

by karlmaks — After the Instruction Assault Battalion tore open the breach, the main force infantry of the ‘Assault Battle Group’ continuously poured through the gap. Once the follow-up infantry completely stabilized the line, Morin did not hesitate. He led the newly regrouped 1st Company to continue the forward assault. He sent out several Dispatch Riders: some to notify the other three companies to converge on the 1st Company’s position, and others to inform the allied forces to keep pace and provide cover.…

Chapter 242: Behind a Successful Man

by karlmaks — In a secluded laboratory at the Imperial Arcane Technology Institute in the suburbs of Dresden, Patricia von Seeckt frowned, staring intently at a pile of complex and delicate Magic Guided components. She wore a pristine white lab coat, her golden hair meticulously pinned back, revealing a clean forehead and refined profile. At this moment, her face, usually marked by aristocratic pride, was etched with frustration. “No... still no! The Magic Crystal oscillator frequency cannot stabilize! The energy…

Chapter 61 Eldridge? Attack Helicopter!

by karlmaks — Eldridge’s face at this moment was so gloomy it could drip water, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent. Clearly, the heavy losses of the Holy Britannian Empire Expeditionary Force and the Guard Knight Order had completely enraged this High-Level Tutor of the High-Level Mage Corps. And the final straw that broke the High-Level Tutor’s composure was finding the bodies of his two apprentices moments ago. They had been brutally stabbed to death with bayonets by those infantrymen, who…

Chapter 93 The Battle for the Small Town

by karlmaks — When the main force of the 1st Company flooded into the small town, the pace of the battle instantly changed. Line formations and charges on open ground were replaced by close-quarters combat and house-to-house fighting in narrow streets. “Second Squad, go to the house on the left! First Squad, follow me, clear the right side! Third and Fourth Squads, position your rifles to blockade this street!” “Messenger, have the heavy machine gun team leapfrog forward and set up at an…

Chapter 125 A Young Man Arrives at the War College

by karlmaks — As the foundational matters were established, the formation of the Teaching Assault Battalion began to operate methodically, like a wound-up clock. The newly transferred officers, Kleist and Manstein, although lacking in practical combat experience, were undoubtedly competent professionals. Morin only needed to set a clear direction, and they would organize all the remaining details flawlessly, often thinking of things Morin himself had overlooked. The personnel transfer documents moved with the…
