High School Soldier
100. World war 1
10 November 2321, 13:16 WIB/1914 Luan Empire, noon.
**
After going through various things, including the declaration of war with Indonesia and the earthquake, the Empire is now a small ‘’ country that now stands without a strong foundation. Scouts are even more prepared than the military of this country. It would be ridiculous if they actually declared war on the land that controlled the Gate.
With all due respect and without degrading the quality of the Luan Empire's troops, it was now filled with barely trained amateur and peasant soldiers. No one knows what happened to them if they were hit by rockets and anti-personnel artillery belonging to the green forces.
Far from the level of the Indonesian Reserve Forces or contracted soldiers, the Imperial forces were filled in half with peasants and amateur soldiers, similar to the North Korean army during the Korean war. A group of bandits was even more disciplined than them, except in this number of troops won a lot from that green army.
The gap in fighting power between the modern and premodern militaries is insurmountable.
If the Empire's 90,000 troops were making a move to the green force fortress with air power at the level of fighter jets, then the green forces had reason to retreat to their home world.
However, the number of troops of that size is not a problem for this pure ‘no’ infantry force. Supposedly, the infantry troops only had fire support vehicles no more than medium tanks. However, Combat Groups 1 and 2 each had 5 main battle tanks, which caused them to be not pure infantry troops.
In fact, this troop has the power of 2 attack helicopters with the main gun 20mm cannon and several rockets attached. However, it seemed that the Imperial forces that were about to reach the Holy Land were already ready to be the target of the bombing.
Experience is the best teacher, and the clown of this Empire will learn about what difference modern civilization produces.
“I feel if the troops that the Empire has are very many, they even seem like they never run out.”
It should have told Nio who he was going to fight. It can be said that this world is at the same level as the original world in the period before March. Where people died in vain in war was common to our world at that time.
“Our forces are modern trained military forces. We will make them regret having declared war with us.”
Modern warfare relies on the strength of the army to an extent that transcends borders. There was a huge difference between the green forces and the biggest forces in the Andzrev Continent. History should give its testimony of the indisputability of this distinction. Combat Groups 1 and 2 would repel these forces in style.
“The number of enemy troops is around 90,000 soldiers, with the weapons they once used against us. Supposedly, less than two days we can finish this battle.”
That's the reality, where a large number of troops actually look like a horde of ants when viewed from attack helicopters. Supposedly, if the ones the Imperial troops fought were not the TNI, then this battle could be won by them. Honestly, the TNI soldiers felt sorry for them.
Still, this is a TNI battle that is so unfair. The Imperial Army definitely could not do anything when the artillery rained down on them. However, let this be a lesson to them what war really means.
No more than 90,000 amateurs, that's all. The Imperial army had a heavy infantry army, heavy cavalry with thousands of horses, dozens of cannons and balistas as well as a giant catapult, and it was already a frightening specter for the countries of this world. But they were fighting on the ground, and the attack helicopters would shoot from the sky, so victory was assured. This would be a pseudo-atrocity that could only be declared as a live-target firing drill.
“How far can we fight?”
“What?”
“The resistance of the enemy is very fragile, so we could fight up to the capital, it could be a logistical problem.”
“Wait, Major. I don't understand.”
“Peltu Nio, We will give the Empire a lesson. I intend to order them to return to each other's homes rather than against us. Looks like they didn't pay a teacher named Experiences.”
Nio's brain was still spinning because of the words of the Combat Group 1 Commander. Then Nio felt, “Oke, it's time for war, there's no time to talk to a bunch of weaklings.”
Nio licked his dry lips, and got down from the armored personnel carrier vehicle along with dozens of other soldiers. Today wasn't too hot, so these troops would have a chance to attack before nightfall.
The soldiers prepared to make a surprise attack, the Imperial forces 9 kilometers away approached them. The unit is equipped with several armored vehicles, and a main battle tank and two attack helicopters, as well as a Combat Group 2.
Something resembling a war, and it's about to start.
**
“We are free to blow them up with bombs or rockets!?”
“I'm serious, this is an instruction from the general.”
Even the aviators and gun operators on all attack helicopters can't keep their mouths shut.
That way, the Imperial troops would not get a chance to fight back while shouting. They will be a great shot rather than a shot at the training ground. It was a barbaric statement that both Combat Groups were allowed to destroy as they pleased the Imperial forces.
Nio led his 1st cruiser Squad, and said, “OK, we will start yet another real firing drill.”
Then, the second enemy of the Combat Group is a group of people who challenge modern monsters called TNI.
Without a doubt, any strategy that existed in the minds of the Luan Empire's forces was a kind of medieval relic. Moments later, the entire unit prepared for an attack as thousands of humans wriggled on the horizon.
How nice they were to wear striking combat uniforms, and heavy-looking metal armor. Their military doctrine is too old-fashioned, which certainly would not have considered the existence of aerial bombardment from the enemy. They are prey as well as wasted human resources. There was no need to be afraid to call the Luan Empire a miserable state. They have great human resources, but cannot make good use of them.
Before the war began, the entire Combat Group soldiers were condolences for the grief of the widows and seniors to the foolish Empire of Luan.
“Their stupid fingers what is war!”
Both Combat Groups have two attack helicopters, but they are only additional and functioned as fire support vehicles.
“To all Squad Commanders, the General wishes you good results!”
“ “Understanding...!” “
Anti-personnel artillery swept over the Empire's running men with the aim of fighting the green troops. Their bodies were instantly hollowed out, several limbs being thrown into the air as mortars struck this close-knit lineup of troops.
All the Imperial troops could do was panic as the helicopter fired its cannons from the sky. Hundreds of arrows not fired could not reach where these iron dragonflies were flying.
Dozens of drones were flown and retrieved footage sent to the headquarters so that everyone there could watch this battle, although it made some parties envious of both Combat Groups.
Technically, we could call these thousands of Empire men a frivolous horde of rampaging people. To be honest, what their Emperor thought was to declare war with the country of origin of this green army.
Apparently, the soldiers who were lying on the ground firing bullets at their assault rifles were expecting a slightly tougher fight. Some warriors even thought that the Luan Empire's army was a serious military force. However it only made them regret having thought about it after seeing the true strength of that troop.
This conflict will be the continuation of the ‘ first world war' in this world. The Imperial army was caught in a much bigger war than the one against the home world of this green army.
Time to finish off the leader of the Imperial army.
Helicopters dropped bombs in the middle of the line, while soldiers on board shot and threw hand grenades. Iron armor is the best defense for the world's military, but a head wearing a metal helmet can be pierced easily by a 12.7mm bullet from a heavy machine gun mounted on an attack helicopter.
The battlefield was now filled with the loud sounds of the green force's weapon explosion, and the terrifying screams of the enemy forces. For enemy infantry, machine guns and anti-personnel artillery were a nightmare, easily swept away by the thousands of bullets fired by heavy machine guns.
The shooters almost fought with passion. The scene in front of them was so unreasonable that they wondered, “Are they seriously at war with us?”
On the other hand, the Empire had a lot of motivation and declared war to get victory over the green troops, but they did not know what war was.
“It's really weird, do they think it can get close to us?”
“Seriously, exactly what is their purpose of fighting with us?”
In a fight, of course, there was a backlash after the blow was received, regardless if the party that retaliated was a group of men with armor that was easily penetrated by artillery.
Nio and his team are stuck fighting against these idiots, of course this is all because of the declaration of war of someone very stupid named Bogat.
“What is it? What are they doing?”
Attack helicopter pilots adjust the altitude to prepare with the enemy forming a line, with several witches among them. Thousands of archers aimed arrows at the iron dragonfly flying 20 meters above them.
“It looks like they will do an anti-air attack!”
“What do they panic?”
Rather than forming a dense lineup, it was better for them to spread out to minimize casualties. But it's their military way of fighting, so we don't need to tell them how to attack.
Or maybe they had found a way to attack the air power of the Combat Group? The best solution to overcome that is to attack and observe their reactions.
The Imperial forces did nothing but maintain their positions and dare to wait to be blown up, the poor idiots. They should feel the pain of human resources being used in vain.
Nio's men are spreading out even more, to destroy the enemy's close ranks. Some of them carried submachine guns on their shoulders, then carried out relief fire.
Thanks to the Empire's ancient mindset that kept their troops still fighting to maintain the ranks, Nio shot until he had spent 2 magazines.
This battle was one of the easiest, even some Squads only needed to maintain their positions.
The iron dragonflies did not have time to look at the scattered flesh, they had to make more pieces of meat from the Imperial army.
“We have found their command center.”
One of the communications operators on the attack helicopter reported what he found.
“It's very fast, it's serious?”
Even the two Combat Group Commanders could not believe the report.
Yes, the TNI's air power is terrible according to the world's military, and they use tactics to capture the leadership of enemy forces.
“That's the headquarters of the Imperial army.”
“What? Are you sure?”
“We saw a large encampment behind the Imperial army.”
Although their faces were half in disbelief, but the two Combat Group Commanders had to believe this.
It should be good if things go smoothly and easily, there is no soldier who does not want that. But in war, nothing goes according to the plan made. Even though thinking that fighting the Imperial army would take a long time, it only sent out two Combat Groups.
Seriously, the Imperial army was so easily fought that some soldiers thought it would be counted as sadistic.
**
Thousands of corpses and limb pieces were scattered on this arid and hard ground.There were thousands more captives that were obtained, they had all surrendered after having unknowingly done a futile battle.
Several squads were ordered to head for the enemy camp, including the 1st Cruiser Squad. All attack helicopters descended on the enemy camp containing thousands of reserve troops who suddenly raised white flags.
Nio first entered the camp of the enemy leader while saying, “Excuse me, is the squad leader here? I have some problems with him.” Nio said that while showing a mocking face. The members who were behind Nio could only hold back the laughter until their faces turned red.
Inside this sizeable tent, some of the people who were the leaders of the enemy forces looked pitiful. They were speechless, but moments later, the person wearing the most conspicuous battle clothes said, “Welcome to our camp, have your troops already wanted to surrender? Take it easy, if you join the Empire, you will be given wealth.”
“Didn't he see the battle?”
The brains of Nio and his Squad members instantly began to reboot after listening to the words of this squad leader. In confusion, Nio said, “We should have said that!”
If they surrendered, Nio would have no choice but to treat them like ordinary prisoners of war. Facing tens of thousands of troops turned out to be very easy. However, rather than being called a battle, what happened earlier was more similar to ‘slaughter’.
“No! The Imperial Army will not surrender! You should have bowed to our greatness!”
“It's a waste of time. Shoot everyone except that general.”
Nio's subordinate shot the targeted person, and the tent was filled with new corpses. Like a group of bandits, the members of several squads snatched some paper and stuffed it into sacks.
Nio warned his subordinates who looked too relaxed, even though today's victory had been obtained. They should remain vigilant, it was indeed understandable why they looked too calm.
The only way the Empire's much weaker military used was to conduct stealth attacks with lightning strike tactics. If tomorrow there are Imperial military officers doing so, then they deserve an award. However, these thousands of troops had become corpses and prisoners, so tomorrow there might not be a battle.

Author message:
I can write up to 100 episodes. It's an achievement that makes me proud of myself.
It is time for this novel to reach its next conflict, namely ‘First World War in Lain’.
If the reader realizes something, there is a reason why I wrote another world year with ‘1914’. Because at that time, World War 1 broke out. So I'm going to make the first world war a fantasy version of it.
In closing, I would like to thank my loyal readers. Without you, I plan to finish this novel before it reaches 100 episodes.
