1914 Who's the Bait (5)

In the hall of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Republic of Congo and Africa in the southern city of Beisuka, the spring breeze with a bit of chill blew across the windowsill, and the bright sunlight shone down from the colorful glass of the War Hall of the Ministry of Military Affairs, shining on the body of Marcos, the Minister of Military Affairs of Congo and Africa, the old man who presided over the stormy ship of the Congo-Africa Empire, has revealed more and more obvious powerlessness, white temples like snow, and his loose eyes are only bright and bright, he stood in front of the huge sand table arranged according to the topography of the southern coast of Gang-Africa, and with a solemn expression, he placed the mark representing the Fourth Cavalry Regiment of the South of Kong-Africa on the location of the port of Valenya, and his hand full of Zou skin was withdrawn, with a slight trembling gaze with something inexplicable

"How's the situation with the 4th Southern Cavalry Regiment?" Marcos asked, looking at the sand table

If you look above the huge sand table in front of them, you will see that within a hundred miles of semicircle formed by the radiation of Valenya, in addition to the 4th Cavalry Regiment, on the left is the 9th Infantry Regiment of the South, the port position is the 11th Infantry Corps, on the right is the 7th Corps, and the support position is the sign of the 13th Infantry Regiment.

The uneven markings, with a total strength of 57,000 troops, converged in the direction of the port of Valia, where the main force of the Falcon Empire's fleet was attacking.

"Heavy casualties!" The one who answered him was a middle-aged general with two golden stars on his shoulders, the Marquis of Stirling, who had just been appointed as the combat officer of the Ministry of Military Affairs, looked at the tired face of the commander of his side, couldn't help but feel in his heart, and said in a deep voice. Why don't you let the 4th Cavalry Regiment withdraw first, in just one day, the full 7,000-man corps has lost more than 5,700 men, and now the morale is low, there is no need to continue the battle, and the fastest 9th Light Infantry Regiment has arrived at Flora, 20 miles away from the port of Valenya, if necessary, it can be put into battle within three hours, let the 9th Light Infantry Regiment reach it" "No, now let the 9th Infantry Regiment go up. On the contrary, it will arouse the suspicion of the other party!"

Marcos frowned slightly, shook his head, and said in a condensed voice, "Guiding the opposing fleet to bite the bait of Valenya Port is the most critical part of the entire battle plan, if the Ninth Infantry Regiment is replaced during the day, it will lead to the danger of exposing the entire battle plan, and we can't take risks!

"Now that the battle has begun. There is no possibility of stopping, this is the battle of life and death for the Empire, the opponent's army has not moved, it is waiting for the result of the war on the southern coast, if we can achieve victory, or can eliminate the possibility of the other side launching a land attack, "At least we can not worry about the fierce battle, and the rear has been pierced by the landing force of the Falcon Empire!" Marcos smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, word by word. On top of the military uniform, the white hair is pale, and the eyes are full of bloodshot that has not slept for a long time, with a heroic twilight sadness.

"But my lord, the Fourth Cavalry Regiment in the South is the elite of the empire guarding the south, and even the Great War in the North has not been mobilized, this time. In order to achieve the purpose of consuming the ammunition of the Falcon Navy, it had to be thrown into the place of death as the fastest mobile force, and thought of the brave Imperial cavalry charging at the enemy with rain of artillery fire. The hearts of his subordinates are bleeding" The voice of the war officer Marquis Stirling trembled with a hint of crying, "The imperial army is already stretched, winter has passed, and the spring breeze is not only the beauty of the recovery of all things, but also the aggressiveness of the two empires from the north and the south, in the south, the Falcon Empire Chen has a heavy army in the Putau area, and the warships have attacked the southern coast of Gangfei, and in the north, the 300,000 troops of the dominant Istanbul Empire are strong and may look for opportunities to go south at any time" Marcos glanced at him and said" At this time, all I can say is that as a soldier, sacrifice is loyalty, this is a big gamble, in fact, as an ally of the Aliens, when I received the battle plan delivered by the Strangers, I also felt a sense of injustice rising from my heart!" "Oh?" the War Officer Marquis Stirling was stunned for a moment, "It is a shame for a commander to let others die! even if it is for strategic needs!" I once asked the Strangers, since it is a union of two countries, why, but we have just not been an army to consume the fleet of the Falcon Empire?"

"Do you know what the First Lady of the Sea of Strand replied?" Marcos paused in his voice, and said a little helplessly, "She said, this is our war with the Falcon Empire, spring has arrived, and the Istan people may go south at any time, if we continue to entangle with the Falcon Empire in the south, the final result will be to be divided and cannibalized by the two empires of Falcon and Istanbul in the north, and in a sense, this is our war with the Falcon Empire, and the Strand Navy is already glad that it is willing to take action!" If we can inflict heavy damage on the Falcon Empire's naval forces, we will be able to draw troops from the south to the war with all our might, and get more stable southern ports to make up for the material supplies we have lost in the north, and we will have the strength to expand our army and regain the lost north!" "That woman is really vicious!" No matter how high-sounding the reason, everyone knows that the Aliens want to take advantage of this war to cut off the infiltration of the Falcon Empire's navy into the inland sea, so as to continue to maintain their supremacy in the inland sea area, but they still want to say that it is like a righteous act to help us! What a shame that a small island United Kingdom dares to raise its own minions against us!

"You're right, this is a national shame! If we have the opportunity, we must "repay" the kind eyes of the Aliens!" Marcos raised his fist and slammed it on the wooden table on the sand table, his voice revealing a chill as sharp as a sword, and he said in a condensed voice. But now, we can only blame forbearance, to use us to consume the power of the Falcon Empire's fleet, and then let the Strand Sea Country complete the fatal blow, the person who made this plan can be described as quite vicious, in order to let the Strat fleet attack, the two countries have even secretly signed an agreement, the Emperor Xià will marry the Anji County Lord of the Strand Sea Country after this battle! It's really a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone, and we and the Falcon Empire will lose both, which is undoubtedly the best outcome for the Strants, so that they can not only take the opportunity to cut off the Falcon Empire's navy's ambitions in the inland sea area, but also use the southern ports as a threat to control us more powerfully, but we have no choice, what we can do now. It's to do your best to win, and then you have the opportunity to settle accounts with the Aliens!" "The Aliens are so shameless, if we fill it up one by one, the losses will be great!" "The combat officer Sterling looked gloomy and his voice trembled, "And it's only the third day on the scene, that is to say, we still need more soldiers to act as bait to drag the Falcon Empire fleet for three days" "Yes, three days, according to the calculation of five thousand people a day, that is, fifteen thousand Imperial soldiers will die in Wallenya" Marcos nodded. There was a cold feeling in his tone, "Now the number of troops we can gather in the south is only 200,000 people, and sending one-tenth of our troops to death at once is just to consume the enemy's fleet combat power, and making such a decision requires not only courage and decisiveness, but also a responsibility, because no matter what the final victory or defeat of this southern battle, the price of tens of thousands of shrouds always needs someone to bear, just like Andya who desperately blocked the Iranian army in the north." Although he fought to the death with unswerving loyalty, he returned to the south with the few remaining troops, and was surrounded and intercepted by the Iranians along the way, in all fairness. Such people are heroes of the Empire!

The Iranian army attacked on two fronts, and Andya persisted in the battle with weak forces until the fall of Kyoto, and was finally defeated by the Iraqi army on two fronts, but as the Minister of War of the Empire. The only decision I can make is that the battle is ineffective, the wrong judgment of the shape shì, and the fall of Kyoto. The empire was shaken, and Andya was deprived of the position of deputy minister of military affairs by the emperor Xià, and the title was swept all the way from the duke to the baron, and now it is said that he is grounded in a small mansion every day, but everyone can see that the emperor Xià actually still admires him, although he knows that the defeat in the northern battle has little to do with Andia,

However, two of the four major armies of the empire were directly annihilated in the northern operation, more than 100,000 soldiers were killed in the battle, and less than 30,000 people came back, and Andya could not escape the blame as the commander! But as one of the few remaining commanders with an army of more than 100,000 people, I have submitted a recommendation to His Majesty, the tens of thousands of troops mobilized by the empire to the southern coast region always need an experienced and tenacious commander to bear, the northern line is almost withering, and the southern department is inexperienced, Andya just happened to be born in the southern army, and has experience in fighting in the north, so he is a candidate acceptable to both the north and the south" "Your Excellency, let Andya be the commander-in-chief of the southern coast?" The combat officer Sterling's face was slightly surprised,

As far as he knows, in Marcos has not yet since 1. 12 Before the incident became the Minister of War of the Empire, his relationship with Andya was simply incompatible.

Marcos was a strong supporter of the surrenderism of former Minister of War Rubinsark, and the first thing Duke Andía did when he took over as Minister of War was to make a major reversal of imperial policy, not only completely abolishing the strategies of the Rubin Sack era, but also the leader of the radical young Zhuang faction in the army, and the second thing was to demand severe punishment for those who had followed Rubinsark, and Marcos was the first to bear the brunt.

"The country is in such a crisis, what kind of factions are there! As long as you can hoist the big fish of the Falcon Empire's fleet, it doesn't matter if you restore Andya's position!" Marcos waved his hand, his nose trembled slightly, obviously knowing what the combat officer was thinking, and said in a deep voice. The falcon empire's navy is sharp, your Excellency knows very well, the army has not moved, the battleship goes first, this has always been the tactic of the Falcon Empire, that is the sharpest sword of the Falcon Empire, it is the enemy's spear that pierces us in the back, if the southern coast falls into the hands of the Falcon Empire, the entire south will be attacked by the belly and back "So this battle, we can't afford to lose!"

Marcos rubbed his temples, "There is no general sitting on the southern coast, relying entirely on the Strants, after all, it is difficult to feel at ease, Andia may not deal with me in politics, but the situation is different, now I and he have only one thought, that is, to let the country of Gangfei continue to exist, instead of being swallowed by the Falcon Empire like the northern Gaul, if we continue to fight like this, Gaul will be our end!"

Chief of Operations Sterling nodded in agreement, this is an unfair war for the Army against the Navy

This side deliberately abandoned most of the ports on the southern coast, just to set up an ambush in Valenya and use the army force to consume the Thor bullets of the Falcon Empire fleet, which is definitely a plan that a normal person would not make, but in terms of feasibility, even he thinks it is invulnerable,

The only thing that needs to be paid attention to is how to delay the Falcon Empire's navy in the port of Valenya for six days, and how to constantly replenish the troops. How to consume the ammunition of the Falcon Imperial Fleet, it must not arouse the suspicion of the Falcon Imperial Navy, as long as the Thor ammunition of the Falcon Imperial Naval Fleet is exhausted, the latent Alien Navy will be able to launch a fatal blow to the Falcon Imperial Navy, just thinking of the fierceness of the Falcon Navy Thor, the face of the combat officer Sterling is like a layer of ice, and his face will not look good,

After the war that led to the defeat of the Empire, the disgraced Gangfei soldiers were also studying the tactics of the Falcon Empire, and after concluding. The Falcon Empire's army is fierce and powerful, partly on the crossbow arrows with strong range, and partly on the terrifying Thor cannon with huge lethality, which is known as the god of destruction, especially the Thor of the Falcon Army, which has a great influence on most of the Gangfei armies that have fought against it. If you think about it, the Thor bullet is like a rainstorm and hail from the other party.

Violently exploded, patches of ground covered the ground like flames, shattering the solid earth into a trembling surface of water with thousands of ripples.

Violently shockwaves. The dust and smoke swept in, and the fire rose into the sky with thick smoke, obscuring the sky and the sun, and the bright light flashed in the billowing smoke. There were thousands of thunderstorms, and artillery fire swept through,

His companion was blown to pieces and flew into the air. Large chunks of flesh and blood crackled and fell down, smashing into the gravel. The blood mixed in the dirt and splattered radioactively onto the walls, the ground and the sand, and the patches of dark red pulp were terrifying.

Without an immersive person, it is difficult to imagine this scene of the end times,

Not to mention, the seemingly never-ending explosion alone could collapse the charging legion, and in such a situation, the Southern Army, which had never fought against the Falcon Empire, was tormented in hell every day

The fierce battle in the port of Vallenya continued until the sixth day, and on the left flank of the sea area of Vasili Island, further north, the waves discharged a white line, and slapped on the tidal flat of a small island, near the rock wall where the tide floated, and the fleet of 220 Strands waiting in formation lurked like ghosts in the shadows of the cliffs, and the waves hit the sides of these ships, forming patches of white blisters, making gurgling and churning sounds, and in the silent wind, it brought a solemn atmosphere, and in the center of the ship, sixty huge hulls covered with painful metal rose and fell with the waves, and the tall roulette wheels were 100 meters long, in the relatively small hull of the inland sea area is simply a giant storage zài,

"Commander, it's the sixth day, do we have to wait any longer?"

On the bow of one of the metal giants, a young adjutant walked up to the commander of the Sea Fleet, Fulengia, who was standing in front, "According to the information returned, the Falcon fleet is still in Valenya, and it seems that the Falcon fleet will not be in the port of Valenya until the subsequent supplies arrive! Once the Falcon fleet is resupplied, our plan will be in vain,"

"Dustrunkay, the Naval Slayer, is really not a simple character!" Fulengia was tall and thin, wearing a well-designed military uniform, a long black flat hat, pinned to the four blue star insignia representing the commander of the Navy, a black collar, black boots, and a fierce gaze,

"Order the fleet to anchor!"

Ferengia turned from the front, his eyes swept the countless sails like a forest with a strong spirit and pride, only three-quarters of the naval strength of the sea country, which can be regarded as the power of the country, such a fleet is definitely a powerful fleet that can walk sideways in the inland sea area,

But this time, the opponent is the more powerful Falcon Empire fleet, and it is an honor for a soldier of the Sea Kingdom to be able to fight against an enemy as powerful as the Sea Country in his lifetime

According to the internal information of the sea country, the number of the Falcon Empire fleet is about 120 ships, with the number of Thor as many as 2000 doors, for several years, the Falcon Navy dominates the open sea, with a naval weapon Thor, the range is as high as 500 meters, it is said that this fleet fleet once salvo the Kyoto of the Gangfei Empire, the sea is boiling, the number of Gangfei is tens of thousands, the real eye-catching armor, every time I think of this, Fulengia feels the blood boiling, what is the navy, this is the navy, with a fleet that can be strong enough to make the land power tremble, this is the veritable power that a sea country should really have, if the sea country can capture these Thor, even if it is only one-tenth, it is enough to qualitatively improve the strength of the sea country, and the sea country at that time is the real sea kingdom,......

"The fleet is anchored!"

With a loud command, countless white sails rose from the Rulin mast, the huge wheel began to turn, and the sea water was suddenly stirred and boiled.

"Naval battles are fought with courage, daring, strength, wisdom and strategy!

Furengia stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the morning mist-shrouded sea,

The battleship was like a cloud, the huge sails were blown by the wind, and the heavy bow of the battleship began to slide on the sea that had been calm for more than ten days.

The creaking sound of a wolf-like battleship breaking through the sea is definitely the most beautiful war song in the world.

It takes a day to get from the port of Vasili to the port of Valenya, but if it is a tailwind and the roulette wheel unique to the warships of the sea country, the speed can be increased to the extreme.

This huge time difference is enough for the other party to make a mistake in judgment.

When the sun sets, the Sea Nation fleet will pounce like a wolf on the Falcon Empire......'s navy, which has already worn out most of its sharpness and ammunition in Valenya!
