I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy - Chapter 229
EP.229
The scene near Oslo’s walls seen from Major Augur’s perspective shows that hell and heaven are clearly separated by the walls.
Heaven was a camp where the troops of the Reich Empire he belonged to were stationed, and hell was a prison surrounded by a wall about 3 meters high.
The soldiers of the empire were leisurely enjoying a happy situation where all food was supplied without restrictions except for alcohol.
“A toast to the grace of His Majesty the Great Emperor!”
“I hope it’s just like today, no more, no less!”
“Eat and drink while you can! Since the Lieutenant General gave permission, all I have to do today is have fun. Oh, tomorrow too!”
And some northerners did cartwheels and threatened the prisoners in Stockholm.
Some of them were sobbing, looking like they were about to cry, but the northern soldiers personally approached the captured soldiers and encouraged them.
As a result, they began to sing songs near the castle walls that reminded them of their hometown in the Kingdom of Stockholm.
“Ah, a quiet water mill by the blue river in the village. That night, Katyusha’s skirt fluttered like a butterfly~”
“Her beautiful smile appears before my eyes in the golden wheat field…”
“Our home, where there is a dazzling morning sun and a warm bread wife’s smile.”
The soldiers of the Reich Empire clapped and loved the song, and all the attention and attention of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Stockholm above the castle walls were directed to the bottom of the walls.
“I fucking want to go home. “It sucks that I was drafted into the military, but why on earth do I have to live like this?”
“Mom, Mom… I miss you.”
“I want to touch Liella’s breasts. “Why on earth did you ask me to go to the water mill on the day before I enlisted…” When
the officers and nobles of the kingdom heard the captured Stockholm soldiers singing a song about their hometown outside the castle, the soldiers guarding the castle walls became distraught. As I saw the morale sagging and sagging, I began to focus all my attention on boosting the morale of the soldiers.
“The reconnaissance battalion is now. Hurry up and enter the castle. “I’m sure everyone brought a torch filled with oil and a can of straw soaked in oil, right?”
In response to Major Short’s question, the 150 members of the unit, including prisoners, quickly completed roll call and inspection and began to carefully look for holes under the castle wall.
Normally, it was a situation where they could have been discovered by the guards standing guard, but the attention of the officers and soldiers in Oslo was all focused on the song sung by the prisoners of the Kingdom of Stockholm.
Because of that, even though the guards were on guard, they couldn’t even properly determine who was passing below…
“Captain Holmes, have you found the location of the hole?”
“I looked closely at the bottom of the castle wall and found a hole large enough for one person to crawl through. In addition, even if you put your ear to the ground, you can hear very faint human footsteps, so there are no kingdom soldiers or civilians making the rounds inside.”
“Okay, let’s go in now. “The 1st platoon of the reconnaissance unit goes in first, and then the rest of the prisoners, along with me, go in last.”
When the 1st platoon began to enter, Major Auburg kept a close watch on the prisoners.
Because if those fools, or idiots, had screamed or sent a signal, not only themselves but the 100 other people in the reconnaissance battalion could have been killed.
‘I feel like I want to go on a solo operation without taking these bastards with me. If some of the prisoners escape and are caught, the people and nobles of the Kingdom of Stockholm will tremble, thinking that there are people who are responding to an internal rebellion. Still, it’s so damn hard to get promoted.’
“You stupid captives, dig into your ears and listen carefully. Our lieutenant general will definitely keep his promise to you guys. So, until we tell you it’s okay to run away, don’t think about running away and start a fire. “If you kill me, I’ll kill you. If you don’t…”
the major threatened, flicking his sword in the air.
“You and your family will be sentenced to treason and die. Instead, if you succeed, buy a house and get married with 5 gold. “I won’t touch that.”
When we were ready to treat them with fear and rewards by throwing them carrots and sticks, the infiltration of the soldiers belonging to the 1st platoon ended.
All 150 members of the reconnaissance unit, including prisoners, succeeded in infiltrating safely.
“… It’s quiet. It’s quiet.”
“I don’t think anyone noticed. “Listen to your surroundings.”
Major Short listened to the sounds around him.
They could not hear the sound of footsteps approaching them, and instead, all they could hear was the officers yelling at the Stockholm soldiers or the footsteps of several people moving in a hurry.
“This is an order from His Majesty the King to make any bastards who listen to singing and squeal on the castle wall be made to obey, even by killing them! Calm him down by setting an example!”
“What are you doing when you can’t sleep at night? Lieutenant Lieutenant Lieutenant …
”
Major Short, hearing sounds coming from around him, took off the black hood he was wearing.
Then, on the outside, he looked exactly like a non-commissioned officer who looked like a sergeant in the Kingdom of Stockholm.
“Take off that damn piece of black cloth and from now on you will act like Stockholm soldiers. The action unit must be two squads working together. Be sure to burn the targets assigned to each person, but if you see Stockholm soldiers or commanders on the way, you can kill them based on the situation.”
The eyes of about 150 soldiers and prisoners focused on the battalion commander’s order.
“Everyone will be wearing rank insignia, so commanding soldiers below captain should keep records of who killed whom. “If you kill an officer of major rank or higher, bring the rank insignia and evidence to prove it.”
With those words, Major Short led 10 soldiers, including 3 prisoners, and hurriedly walked to the arsenal target given to him: the armory.
However, unlike regular infiltration, he openly used the castle’s main street like the Stockholm regular army.
Then, I noticed that some civilians were confused and anxious due to the hometown song being heard around them.
“Everyone, be quiet and return to your assigned quarters! “Anyone who causes disturbance in the castle will be killed by order of His Majesty the King to make it quiet.”
Major Short chose the best way to act without discomfort in this situation.
“It is Vice Admiral Yeager’s plan to cause a commotion by singing a song from home! Everyone quietly go back to your dorm and get some sleep! Anyone who wanders outside carelessly will be severely punished!”
His acting was so perfect that the people of the Kingdom of Stockholm were immediately returning to their lodgings because they did not want to die.
Soldiers belonging to the real Stockholm Kingdom Army who were passing by thought they were friendly troops and just passed by.
In this way, Major Short was able to get close to the armory without being caught by anyone, and from there he gave a hand signal.
He waved his right hand up and down three times, and he and the soldiers spread straw soaked in oil in a convenient location for burning.
He piled up as many of the things that were easily burned as possible and poured oil on top of them.
“Light it.”
As soon as he said those words, the wooden armory caught fire and began to burn brightly.
The scouts who saw this showed their joy by suppressing their voices, and Major Short gave each of them a hard slap on the back and said,
“If you idiots stay here, you will die. Hurry up and get out. If there are wooden shacks or temporary lodgings along the way, light them with torches and move on!”
At the same time as those words were said, the 10 men under Major Short, who had come here with confidence, moved carefully, using the back alleys as secretly as possible.
Meanwhile, if there was a building that seemed flammable, they quickly set it on fire.
As they ran away in such a hurry, they heard good news from a nearby highway.
“1st platoon is a weapons depot! The 2nd platoon is the regimental barracks! The 3rd platoon runs to the temporary camp!! “The 4th platoon will come out immediately and go to the royal castle!”
“Fire! “Fire!”
“…… A person is dead! Someone died! “The Reich Empire has entered the castle!”
The fact that the enemy’s major facilities are on fire means that other unit members’ operations have been successful, and as the commotion grows, the attention paid to them decreases, increasing their chances of survival.
This was very good news.
“Burn everything you can with the idea of burning down the entire castle. And the Stockholm prisoners can go away. “No, if you don’t want to die, get out.”
In fact, Lieutenant General Jaeger did not know that the Stockholm prisoners were praying for all of them to be captured in the castle, and as soon as he was told to get out, the Stockholm prisoners quickly began to run away.
Major Short and all 100 members of his unit succeeded in returning to their unit safely.
And a few days later, King Christian von Vasa of Stockholm proposed peace negotiations to Lieutenant General Jaeger.
