Chapter 385: Cooperation
At one o'clock in the afternoon, with the waving of several commanders' light sticks, one after another huge Il-76 transport planes flew into the sky with a huge engine roar, and each transport plane carried nearly 200 meters of soldiers and related equipment and materials, and it only took one hour for the first batch of airborne troops to arrive at the Yinjiang Bridge.
In the past week's war, on the battlefield of the Han River, the results of the battle between the two armies have come out, 100,000 Japanese troops left more than 70,000 corpses on the battlefield of the Han River, fled in a hurry, and left a brigade before leaving, hoping to delay the pace of the Han army's pursuit.
The mechanized troops of the Han army were far faster than the Japanese army's marching speed several times, and the Japanese troops, who had been eaten away by thousands of people along the way, could only adopt the strategy of going north and south, dividing part of their forces, concentrating all the vehicles, and distributing all the divisional flags to the northbound army.
However, the actual commander of the northbound army, who assigned all the elite equipment, was just a big leader, not even a general, and the real high-level commanders followed the southbound troops and disguised themselves as abandoned troops.
It is also a helpless move to adopt such a plan, who let the Han army's troops chase too closely, if such a large army goes south together, I am afraid that it will really bury all the few surviving Japanese troops here.
This plan did work, and almost half of the mobile troops of the Second Army of the Han Army pursued the troops heading north, leaving only 10,000 mixed troops still pursuing the southward troops of the Japanese army.
The so-called mixed troops were actually a combination of the third division of the first army of the Han army and the remaining troops of the second army, which was commanded by the first army, and the commander of the second army went north to pursue the Japanese army.
In the Battle of the Han River, the largest loss was the first army of the Han army, the whole army lost more than 30,000 people, the establishment of each division was almost disrupted, only the third division was relatively better, because it could not replenish the troops, only the strength of other divisions could be replenished into the third division first, as a result, the only infantry division with a "full" establishment was mixed with the remaining troops of the second army.
The mixed reinforced division of about 15,000 men was the main force of the Han army in pursuit of the southward movement of the Japanese army.
The 15,000-strong Han army, pursuing the southward troops of the Japanese army, which was twice as large as them, looked like the Japanese army was the superior side in numbers, but in fact, the 1-2 battle loss ratio on the Han River battlefield said it all.
The Japanese army's northward troops seem to be the main force, the road to the north is actually a dead end, 200 kilometers north of Hanjiang City is Dongshan Province, at present the entire territory of Dongshan Province has been recovered by the Han Army's Northern Front, if the Japanese army wants to go north and join the Japanese army in the north, it must pass through Dongshan Province, the whole high-ranking officials reach a distance of 500 kilometers, and the Han army can surround the Japanese army at any time.
Such a choice is really unwise, if Xu Yang was the commander of the Japanese army at this time, he would definitely not choose to go north, and going north is a dead end. If you want to escape, there is only one way to go south.
was shocked in his heart, Xu Yang secretly scolded, these dog-day devils are really cunning, and they were almost deceived.
However, even so, these little devils who went south didn't want to arrive in Shanghai Port City safely and securely to join the Japanese army in the south, you must know that the Royal Airborne Division and the 15,000 people going south are not fish belly.
It was extremely difficult for the Japanese army to prevent the Han army from crossing the river, but if the Han army was like preventing the Japanese army from crossing the river, it would be absolutely easy.
The war on the Han River has been decided, and the north is also a great place, from the south of the Beidao River has been completely recovered, and the prospects of the Han Empire are bright at the moment, but within the empire, there are some people who are ready to move.
Although the nominal capital of the Han Empire was Hanzhong, due to the sudden invasion of the Japanese army, Hanzhong could not recover its role as a political center in a short period of time, and Gwangju City could only be set as a temporary political center.
In fact, due to the previous struggle between the two factions of the empire, Gwangju has remained the de facto political center, although it is not nominally the capital.
As a result, the imperial political system worked very quickly, and there were basically no waves.
However, the appearance of calm does not mean that all officials are united and loyal to the country.
Dahan Hotel in Gwangju, the only five-star hotel in Gwangju City, is very grand on the outside, and the inside is even more magnificent, and is often used as a place to entertain VIPs.
In such a place, the level of consumption is even more unimaginable, and just booking a table here will cost ordinary people a year's salary, which is really prohibitive for ordinary people.
However, in such a tall hotel, the largest, most luxurious and most expensive box No. 1 was booked today.
A delicate waitress dressed in a gorgeous cheongsam rushed in, placed all kinds of delicacies firmly on the revolving table, and quickly retreated.
The round revolving dining table has two groups of people seated one on the left and one on the right.
If one looks closely, the person sitting on the right is obviously much shorter than the one on the left, and the face is even more obscene, and if the person watching is a person who has returned from the battlefield, you can see at a glance that the person sitting on the right is Japanese.
A Japanese man sitting on the right who was about to wrinkle his facial features stood up and said to the person opposite with anger on his face: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Han Emperor has no virtue, causing the world to fall into war and chaos, and the people of Li are living in fire and water. ”
Listening to the words of this Japanese, the corners of the Han Dynasty officials sitting on the right twitched at the corners of their mouths, and they were full of disdain in their hearts, isn't it that you Japanese themselves want to start the war, but now the upper lip touches the lower lip, it becomes the fault of our Han people?
"Since it's a cooperation, let's stop talking about this kind of meaningless topic, let's talk about what conditions you Japanese can give. Otherwise, we high-ranking officials of the Han Dynasty should be well-behaved, why should we be in the same league as you Japanese. An obviously high-ranking Han Dynasty official said with an impatient face.
