I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy

EP.326

After receiving Jaeger’s orders, the messenger immediately ran to the location of the 7th Guards Division and delivered the instructions.

“The 7th Guards Division received an order from the commander to immediately take the lead and break through the enemy’s formation.”

Upon receiving the order, division commander Laura asked as she tightened her armor straps.

“Because we are in the rear, we don’t know much about the current situation on the front line. “Can you tell me what the situation on the front lines is like now?”

“The vanguard of the friendly and enemy forces is engaged in a fierce battle. Our team may have a slight advantage. ”

“The fight is so fierce that you don’t know who wins or loses, right? “Thank you for letting me know. Good luck.”

The messenger bowed and immediately left, leaving Laura to think about what to do to more efficiently carry out the orders she had received.

First of all, she thought that the timing for General Yeager to deploy the 7th Division as the vanguard was very appropriate.

This is because I have seen several times that when the enemy and friendly vanguards are busy fighting in a fierce battle, they crawl under the pole but the enemy does not notice, leaving them helpless.

So, just moving the 7th Division according to Captain Jaeger’s orders would have been a pretty good attack, but Laura was not satisfied with that alone.

‘The core of this battle is the 7th Guards Division, which I command. So, you must achieve brilliant achievements that will be worthy of your reputation.’

After thinking for a moment, she soon came up with the best strategy just like Captain Jaeger did.

“Attention 7th Division!”

Everyone took an unmoving stance at the sound of Laura’s ‘attention’.

“Captain Jaeger entrusted our 7th Division with the spearhead of the glorious central breakthrough. So everyone, apply mud or dirt to the outside of your armor and helmet for camouflage!”

The soldiers belonging to the 7th Guards Division had already been given a rough explanation of the operation.

So, everyone knew what kind of operation would be carried out and how to carry out it just by saying that the vanguard was entrusted, but there was one thing that they did not know.

“Division commander, why do you have to sprinkle mud or dirt on your armor? Then wouldn’t it be inconvenient to fight if dirt got inside the armor?”

“The steel armor we wear becomes highly visible when exposed to sunlight. Therefore, the purpose is to prevent reflection even when light is applied by applying dirt. “Everyone knows this, but if you stand out, won’t you be unilaterally attacked by those guys?”

All the soldiers nodded at those words.

“Well, if you are crawling under the enemy’s pole and are caught, you will be impaled by the pole and go straight away.”

“I broke the heads of 20 people who crawled like that.”

“That kid is exaggerating his achievements again. If I had destroyed 20 people, I would have been a second lieutenant by now. “Where are you talking about your boss?”

“….. Aren’t you saying too much, Lieutenant Watson, that you put it on first a year ago?”

After the jokes were made and the atmosphere relaxed, Laura spread mud on her armor and helmet, intending to set an example herself.

When the female division commander boldly spread mud on her body without worrying about getting it dirty, everyone followed suit and started spreading mud on the armor.

After seeing that, Laura ordered all the other riders, starting with the rider holding the division flag, to fold all the flags and other visible decorations, and declared to everyone, exuding her unique cool-headed aura.

“Attention, 7th Guards Division. From now on, I am going to condemn the Veneta Union, which has put Your Majesty’s wife’s family, the Duchy of Philolence, in danger!”

The officers and soldiers of the 7th Guards Division, who had fought alongside Captain Jaeger in harsh environments such as the Lichen Hill and Linz Plain, were greatly impressed by her confident and charismatic appearance, saying that she was just like his wife.

And the morale of the entire army exploded when they saw her, a noblewoman by birth, not only standing on the front lines but also marching covered in mud to win the war.

The officers were both surprised and respectful, and the soldiers, following orders to remain silent, did not open their mouths and only muttered.

“I know that the commander of the 7th Guards Division is Laura. Could it be that someone who looks like a marquis is coming forward with dirt all over her armor?”

“… This kind of poisonous disease makes the enemy suffer without being able to use their hands or feet. “How can someone be so meticulous and thorough?”

“You even paint the dirt so that the armor reflects the sunlight…”

At the same time, the soldiers were proud that they could not lose and that such a person was their commander.

“Division Commander, there are 100 meters left until the enemy’s vanguard.”

Laura stood and looked at the people fighting.

They were stabbing each other indiscriminately with long spears, and in the process, they were dying while spitting out death without distinction between friend and enemy… It’s a

familiar scene because I’ve seen it several times, but the instinct to fear death inherent in humans makes me not lose my mind. It was a terrible sight that made me feel like I would tremble and collapse if I didn’t keep my guard up.

However, since everyone’s mind was focused on the enemy they could see beyond the window in front of them, it was a perfect situation to crawl under the window and make a surprise attack.

Laura signaled absolute silence with her hand from now on, and everyone in the vanguard, including the 7th Division, fell silent.

Then, the soldiers under Laura put cloth or gags on their mouths to prevent them from screaming even if they were stabbed by a spear while crawling.

When all preparations were completed, the platoon leaders gave orders in voices quieter than the sound of mosquito wings.

“Crawl and move forward.”

All the soldiers fell to the ground, suppressing as much as possible the sound made when their armor hit the ground, and began to crawl through the ranks of Reich soldiers.

As they moved forward while crawling, dirt got into their eyes and noses and blood splattered, but as the 7th Division had endured all of Captain Jaeger’s harsh training, they continued to advance without any sign of discomfort.

Meanwhile, the mercenaries were only looking at the opposing Reich Imperial Army spearing in front of them, just as Peter Jaeger and Laura had expected.

“Fucking imperial army bastards! “They say you’re all new soldiers!”

“It means die. “You damn bastards!”

“That bastard, Peter Yeager, should be quietly receiving a pension from the Empire. Why did he come after us here and fight us? “If Duke Veneta’s bastard commander had been Peter Yeager, he should have paid more hazard pay!”

Meanwhile, like excited bulls in a bullring, they continued to fight without seeing anything other than the enemy they recognized.

Laura and others continued to crawl very secretly, lying on their stomachs.

In the process, the soldiers of the 7th Division listened to their own hearts pounding so loudly that their eardrums rang, fearing that they would be discovered at some point.

I was out of breath from the continuous crawling, and advancing 1 meter felt as long and long as marching 10 km.

However, with the sense of responsibility to fulfill orders at any cost and the pride of being part of the Reich Empire’s most elite unit, I somehow managed to hold on with the stamina and courage I gained from the countless training sessions I had received so far.

Their hard work bore fruit, and Laura, who had been crawling in the middle of the ranks, soon arrived in the middle of the enemy vanguard camp.

At this point, you might have noticed it, but thanks to the mud that Laura and others had put on their armor and helmets, light reflection was blocked, so the 7th Guards Division soldiers were not in the field of view of the enemies who were preoccupied with the battle in front of them.

‘Is it time to move forward in earnest? Or should I go a little further?’

As the commander of the 7th Guards Division, Laura von Wenner had concerns, but soon made a decision.

She quietly drew her one-handed sword without making a sound.

Then, taking an angle that would not be noticed by the enemy, he powerfully struck the critical area of a person who appeared to be an enemy mercenary leader or unit commander.

The man was stabbed in an important part and fell to his death, bleeding and suffering tremendously.

“Aaaah! Fuck!! “You’re as bad as a dog!!”

Starting with that sound, the screams from the mercenaries continued.

“What the fuck! what’s the matter!”

“… It’s a surprise attack by Reich Empire soldiers! It’s a surprise attack! Everyone, throw down your spears and pull out your swords!”

“You crazy guy, how can you pull out a knife and respond in this situation?”

The mercenaries were distracted by the unexpected surprise attack, and soldiers of the 7th Guards Division took advantage of the opportunity to vigorously stab the enemy in the foot.

Then, he raised his body and instantly took the lives of more than a thousand people with a one-handed sword or a secondary weapon such as a blunt weapon.

“peekaboo! “The 7th Guards Division has come to put an end to your miserable life!”

“Long live the Reich Empire, long live your Majesty the Emperor! “Hail to you guys who will soon go to your mom and dad!”

“Be at peace when you die.”

As the 7th Guards Division began to rampage, the chaos spread from the center of the Veneta Union vanguard to the entire vanguard.
