For Chen Fan, defeating the army group led by Marshal Carter was naturally an easy task. However, with a group of recruits who had never been to the battlefield before, Chen Fan's expectations were not high.
In Chen Fan's mind, troops that had only undergone systematic training without real combat experience could, at best, be tactically superior to irregular forces. But when comrades fell beside them, he believed these recruits might not be able to handle it, that was Chen Fan's thought.
After all, they did not know that their leader was a terrifying figure who treated going to the battlefield as a daily routine. Marshal Carter, at this moment, should be grateful that Chen Fan had not brought his real troops but the newly formed Seventh District of the Thirteenth Sector.
Marshal Carter's side, clearly unaware of the situation here, was continuously bombarding the city walls of Mid-East Africa and the Empire, attempting to create chaos so that Chen Fan's Seventh District could retreat safely.
But how could the Seventh District led by Chen Fan be such weaklings?
Although Chen Fan could not guarantee this would be the case later, at this moment, in his mind, the newly formed Seventh District troops were not weaklings.
Instead, they were tenacious vanguards. That was what Chen Fan wanted to say.
However, on the battlefield, even Chen Fan could be in mortal danger.
Chen Fan had no emotional ties to these recruits of the Seventh District.
Naturally, he would not concern himself with the feelings of these new recruits. Chen Fan only wanted to fight well and return home as soon as possible.
This was also what Chen Fan was thinking at this moment.
As the acting leader of the newly formed Seventh District of the Thirteenth Sector, Chen Fan had much to say.
Foremost among them was the pre-battle mobilization speech.
At this moment, Chen Fan stood on the plaza, looking at these young people with great spirit. Although he did not want to dampen their spirits, as their captain, he had to convey his thoughts.
Chen Fan then began to speak.
"Fellow vanguards of the Seventh District, do you know what a vanguard is?"
The assembled new recruits of the Seventh District responded in unison.
"No, sir! Please instruct us, sir."
Chen Fan found this answer quite satisfactory.
He continued.
"Do you know if we have reinforcements?"
The assembled new recruits of the Seventh District again responded in unison.
"No, sir! Please instruct us, sir."
"Do you know the models of the enemy's firearms?"
The assembled new recruits of the Seventh District still responded in unison.
"No, sir! Please instruct us, sir."
"It's good that you don't know, because as the temporary commander of the Seventh District, I don't know either!"
At this moment, Chen Fan instantly livened up the atmosphere.
"But we should know the purpose of our coming here and what we are here for!"
"We are here to rescue the suffering people of Mid-East Africa and the Empire!"
"We are here to resolve the plight of the civilians who have been plagued by war in Mid-East Africa and the Empire for years!"
"Our motto is to only fight victorious battles! We will absolutely not fight disgraceful battles. This is our creed!"
As Chen Fan finished speaking, the new recruits of the Seventh District roared with morale.
Following this, Chen Fan directly appointed several senior members of the Seventh District as temporary regimental commanders on the battlefield.
Undoubtedly, these senior members of the Seventh District immediately accepted Chen Fan's arrangements.
Chen Fan had his unique insights into warfare.
If you cannot even command those who help you manage the troops,
The outcome of the battle can only be utter defeat.
This was Chen Fan's perspective on warfare.
At this moment, Chen Fan's Seventh District saw the First Regiment, Second Regiment, Third Regiment, and Fourth Regiment. Each regiment was led by two thousand five hundred Seventh District trained soldiers and seven thousand five hundred allied militia from Mid-East Africa and the Empire, totaling ten thousand men per regiment, which were then assigned.
As the main reserve force for these troops, Chen Fan naturally remained in his original position, only needing to command the entire battlefield and control the overall situation, after which everything would be easily resolved.
The First Regiment was led by the most senior member of the Seventh District, aside from Chen Fan.
The Second Regiment was led by the most senior member of the Seventh District, aside from the First Regiment.
The Third Regiment was led by the most senior member of the Seventh District, aside from the Second Regiment.
The Fourth Regiment was led by the most senior member of the Seventh District, aside from the Third Regiment.
The four regimental commanders were also happy with this arrangement. After all, it was their first time leading troops into battle, and they only thought that the different seniority meant the regiments' roles were ranked lower, and they were leading the same number of men, so the group had no major doubts or questions.
As Chen Fan made further arrangements.
The First Regiment, being the most senior, was stationed directly facing the enemy's firewalls.
The other three regiments were to dig their own guerrilla trenches near Mid-East Africa and the Empire.
Upon receiving their orders, the regimental commanders began their tense deployments.
After all, this battle could be said to be a fight that directly determined whether their lives would be lost or survived. The four regimental commanders certainly would not be negligent for a moment.
Subsequently, Chen Fan issued his final command and initiated immediate communication.
Chen Fan stated that apart from the final command, all other orders could be carried out with some leeway.
The final command was,
"Unless I, Chen Fan, give the order to fire, you regimental commanders are not to decide to open fire on your own."
This is my final order, and I hope you will all abide by it.
At this moment, the four regimental commanders quickly affirmed that they would obey the order and then proceeded to their respective posts.
