"The general logistics base camp of the Hicks people is still set up near Rodex Bay City, on the original site of the camp that was attacked and burned down by you. The garrison strength is only one regiment and two logistics and transport battalions. But they built a defensive front here at Fombix Hill, blocking all the major transportation routes to Rodex Bay, and deployed a standing corps to defend it."
Claude watched General Albert place a small blue flag on the sand table, and recalled that he had been to this place called Fombix Hill, where he commanded the First Division of the Thunder Legion to attack the enemy in the last war. After setting up camp at the General Logistics Base near Rodex Bay City, Morield's 1302nd Regiment and Diavid's 1303rd Regiment were ordered to rush to the place where they were preparing to ambush enemy reinforcements overnight. It's a pity that after waiting for five days, the enemy's reinforcements did not come.
Although the name is Fombix Hill, it is not a real hill. It is just five small mounds connected together with a height of no more than thirty or forty meters. These small mounds are the only highlands on this plain, and there are several sparse woods growing on them. However, when Claude last camped there to rest, most of these woods were cut down for firewood.
Obviously, the Hicks people set up a defensive line at Fombix Hill to prevent the General Logistics Base Camp behind them from being attacked by troops from the directly-administered theater area again. This is indeed a strategic location on the plains, a crossroads of transportation routes leading to the mountainous border to the north and the mountainous border to the east. The Hicks have pretty good vision. If they send troops to infiltrate again, as long as they are discovered, the Hicks will attack from three sides and the infiltrating troops will be unable to escape.
As the chief of staff of the Thunder Legion, General Albert continued to introduce the intelligence sent by the spies who infiltrated Rodex Bay City in the theater: "The standing army deployed at Fombix Hill is designated as the Third Expeditionary Army. It is understood that this legion was composed of the private armies of several noble territories that rebelled against Melchid III during the civil strife in the Kingdom of Hicks, as well as a large number of young men who were forcibly recruited from these noble territories. Its internal evaluation is that the response is slow and military discipline is lax , low combat effectiveness.
In the first three days after arriving at Rodex Bay Colony, the soldiers of this regiment caused numerous disputes with the residents of the city. They blocked roads and robbed people, fought and fought, ate and drank for free without paying, and got drunk and injured people. It's a small thing. The worst incident was when a small group of patrol soldiers encountered a lady from the city taking two Nikancha maids to a farm outside the city. The small group of patrol soldiers actually dragged the three women into the woods and forced them to Take turns having sex with them.
After the incident, the Hicks military, under pressure from the United Kingdom of Fox Islands, shot the two leading soldiers. The remaining ten soldiers were escorted to Rodex Bay City and beaten eighty times in public before they were slightly suppressed. The anger of the city dwellers. Then the regiment received an order to set up a defensive front at Fombix Hill, and dozens of military judges were sent to the regiment to conduct military discipline rectification in order to improve combat effectiveness and prepare for combat.
