TS Eiseihei-san no Senjou Nikki - Ch. 13

[BlackElite]

Who in the right mind standing up while being suppressed? Especially fixing a jammed rifle while standing up...

 

[Shmeep]

I just remembered that our main character reincarnated. Shouldn't they be introducing stuff like crop rotation or starting a laundromat? Maybe next chapter.

Did he in his right mind though? He's scared shit, exhausted, most likely lightheaded, and doesn't have enough oxygen in his brain.

The technology in this world is similar to ours, just a few decades back so no "I bring you better technology" crap trope. Read fantasy isekai if that's what you want.

Ahh now that you've said that... No one is in the right mind, except the trained ones...

Even trained people can have different competencies, some better than others. Not everyone can be an elite operative. This guy probably barely passes his practical training, and the higher-ups just need cannon fodder or might be short of people to choose from since everyone is dying.

Imagine being in the group with the lowest rate of casualties, and still dying? You'd have to have stupid bad luck from that.

Also, if Garback's group has such a good grade, why is his reputation so bad? I'd rather deal with his angry ass so long as I get to live the longest.

He has every aspect that makes bad rumors easy. His people are (relatively) quiet, look beaten up(they are), but aren't afraid of most things. Garback repeatedly ignores orders to achieve gains that have to be rewarded. He's disrespectful as all heck to everyone without breaking rules.

They had to specifically send someone to verify the rumors, and it took the guy multiple battles to really understand what the truth actually is. That means the rumors have been overblown and there's more than one guy sitting around saying whatever the hell they want about him without proof.

Thanks for the chapter 🙏🏼

 

[Kushikime]

Thanks for the chapter

 

[littlenb]

There were so many flags raised in this chapter it would have been surprising if no one was shot

 

[Lev559]

Honestly I wish the enemy was portrayed as more competent than they actually are rather than something to be mowed down like cannon fodder, it just devalues the enemy and makes the series more meh the more you notice it. Also the commander has WAY too much plot armor.

Thanks for the TL though and lovely series overall.

Upcoming spoilers for maybe 10 chapters from now?The enemy is quite competent, the Commander here is just way too OP. Fairly soon, the enemy is going to break through the trenches in a high stakes gamble and crush the MC's army, which leads to months of her being on the run and them trying to stall the enemy advance

Also, Aces are kind of crazy. For example, the Red Baron is credited with downing 80 aircraft.

 

[TizioPrepuzi0]

Thank you for the new chapter!
If you are interested in the story, I made audiobooks for almost the entire series (thanks to Ozy for providing the translations).
It's probably the best series I've read this year. It's such a wild ride 🙃 Here is the playlist:

I also don't like how the author portray the enemy as just a bunch of savages. Kinda hope they get a bit screentime to show their side of story. But I don't think it devalues them. They are still very much deadly.

Sure the commander is almost untouchables, but not with everybody else. Touri and everybody else are still constanly getting hurt and some lost their life. Some of them are people that valuable to Touri like Sasa.

Almost any character we know can die anytime. That's the kind of story this is.

I didn't really get that impression. The Hero we had in earlier chapters was actually much less barbaric looking than "Our" Hero, Garbarck. He was a clean looking guy while Mr. G is a screaming berserker. The Troops design is a bit different though, it feels like a "Northern Country" attacking a "Far southern country".
And I agree the enemy's is actually decently competent. It's just our MC's squad has a Hero unit with Hax stats

Anybody else here who practices firearms handling and small unit tactics can probably attest to this, but all this stuff requires tons of training.
You think land nav is easy till you’re stuck in a forest surrounded by enemies, low on supplies. Conducting an ambush seems easy. When in field you suddenly have to identify a suitable location and organize a squad to split up properly. How does everyone know when to engage? Should armor be worn? How are your enemies trained to react to ambushes, and how do you capitalize on that? What happens when you take casualties? Does every member remember the hand signal for “friendly don’t shoot”?

I think this is one of the greatest aspects of war stories, and one of the reasons I personally love them. You get to see the characters slowly grow in skill and personality.

If anyone’s curious about why Touri was weirded out by the “cheer-up stick”

Amphetamines were given to troops to increase alertness. They had the added benefits of reducing appetites and fatigue. Nazi Germany, in particular, embraced amphetamines during World War II. From April to July 1940, German service members on the Western Front received more than 35 million methamphetamine pills. German troops would go as many as three days without sleep during the invasion of France. In contrast, Britain distributed 72 million amphetamine tablets during the entire war.[6]

People really took a bunch of meth during the war.

First they cut off his arm, now they shot him in the lung... The guy is out of luck.

Thanks for the chapter

Thanks for the chapter
Man, if only the programers had implement the "click to crouch" command
Jokes aside, I don't know how to fell if he dies (really doubt he'll survive), he's been growing on me a bit, but I haven't really gotten attached to him
Well I'm looking forward for the next chapter
