Chapter 207: Victory
Next, Zhao Chun told Laura about the battlefield situation he saw when he came, and finally said: "Judging from the battlefield situation, Bhatti's besieged army wants to break through from the southeast and sends a large number of armored troops to rush in that direction, and Bhatti also transferred planes from the south, as well as troops on the way to reinforce. ”
"Well, we have learned about the situation, and now we are focusing on strengthening our defenses in that direction, Bhatti's planes are afraid of our air defense ** and do not dare to bomb them closely, so they can only launch ** and ** outside the range of our air defense **, but their ** and ** range are also not so far, and the threat to us is limited. It will take about two days for the nearest reinforcements from Bhatti to arrive, and we have plenty of time to wipe out the enemy in the encirclement. Laura said confidently.
Zhao Chun pondered for a moment and said, "Is it possible that Bati's army is just pretending to break through from the southeast, but in fact, their main force is in the southwest, and when they break through to the southwest, we can withstand it?"
"This ......," Laura's face froze, and she said, "Probably not, aren't they concentrating their forces in the southeast direction now?"
Zhao Chundao: "We must despise the opponent strategically, but we must attach importance to the opponent tactically, on the battlefield, anything can happen, because we are not roundworms in the enemy's stomach, and there is no guarantee that the enemy will not do this." ”
"What should I do then? I can only mobilize more than 80,000 wounded soldiers under my command now, and I may always draw troops from the southeast again, right?"
"Leave this matter to me, I'll go and recover the wounded soldiers, and then lead them to reinforce the southwest, but I need two hours, you give an order to the commander in the southwest, and let them hold out for two or three hours anyway. Zhao Chundao.
"Okay, I'll give them the order, and I'll take you to the wounded barracks. Now your identity as commander-in-chief Zhao is not easy to use. Laura laughed, the look of exhaustion on her face swept away.
Zhao Chun remembered the embarrassment he had just encountered, and couldn't help blushing, and said, "The general is outside, the king's order is not granted, those soldiers and that officer have done a good job, which is worthy of recognition." ”
More than two hours later, Zhao Chun hurriedly rushed to the southwest position with more than 80,000 soldiers who had recovered from their wounds. Because things turned out to be as Zhao Chun expected, more than an hour ago, the main force of Bhatti's army in the encirclement really launched a large-scale attack in the southwest direction, trying to break through from that direction, and now the battle on the front line is already very tight, fortunately Zhao Chun arrived in time with reinforcements.
While reinforcing the southwest direction, Zhao Chun also ordered the troops in all directions to launch a general offensive and strive to resolve the battle in the shortest possible time, and now the situation is favorable to him, he does not want to wait for Bhatti to mobilize more troops to reinforce, and it will change later.
The general assault began at two o'clock in the morning and lasted until the evening of the next day, at which point all the one million troops of Bhatti attacking the south of the capital had been wiped out. Among them, more than 700,000 died directly on the battlefield, another 150,000 were captured due to wounds, nearly 100,000 surrendered directly, and tens of thousands of others are missing.
As for Zhao Chun, more than 250,000 people were killed in battle, and more than 500 people are missing. In fact, there are a large number of injured people in Zhao Chun's army, according to incomplete statistics, it has reached more than 600,000 people, but because of the recovery function of Zhao Chun's system, the wounded can be recovered in time, and many people are after recovering from the first injury, and then they are involved in the battle, so that the second time they are injured, which makes his troops more and more brave, as long as they don't die, they still have a chance, and when they encounter such an army, it is difficult for Bhati not to have a headache.
Before the battle to the south of the capital ended, Bhatti's army in the north of the capital fled, leaving behind only more than 100,000 corpses. This made Zhao Chun feel a little regretful, originally he thought that after the battle in the south was over, he would immediately wave his troops to the north and solve the enemy in the north together.
After this campaign, the prestige of Zhao Chun's army was greatly enhanced, and there were three provinces in the north, and one province in the south declared its independence from Bhatti's rule and supported Zhao Chun instead.
Because the land area of Huoyan is not large, the country is divided into fifteen provinces and one capital special zone, and now there are four provinces and one capital special zone to support Zhao Chun, which has accounted for nearly one-third of the land area of Huoyan country, which has greatly increased Zhao Chun's strength.
On the one hand, Zhao Chun planned to implement a wartime supply plan in these four areas that supported him, providing a large amount of food, clothing and other necessities to these areas, spreading the model implemented in the capital to all places, and at the same time expanding the size of the army and allowing more people to join in; on the other hand, he planned to send troops to open the road to the Holy Domain, because with the increase in personnel, he felt that all kinds of materials were a little short, and only by opening the passage to the Holy Domain could it be possible to obtain a steady stream of supplies from the Holy Domain.
At this highlight moment, Zhao Chun naturally did not forget to hold a grand memorial event in the capital to commemorate the martyrs who sacrificed for freedom, and erected a tall monument for them in the square, claiming that their spirit is immortal and will guide the survivors to inherit their great fighting spirit and continue to fight heroically against the dark forces.
Then, a few days later, he held a grand celebration in the capital, during which he held a general meeting of commendations, at which individuals and units with outstanding performance in this battle were commended, especially those heroic battle heroes, and were ceremoniously rewarded.
It's just that when honoring outstanding senior commanders, there was a little hiccup.
It happened that when the candidates for the excellent senior commander were being discussed internally, Zhao Chun recommended Laura, because in this southern campaign, she creatively led more than 600,000 troops to disappear and successfully jumped behind Bhatti's army, providing conditions for the complete annihilation of Bhatti's southern attacking troops.
But Tianli disagreed, saying that she led so many troops to disappear without saying hello in advance, leaving the headquarters unprepared, which is a typical disorganization and lack of discipline, and should be dealt with with by serious military discipline, and even handed over to a military court.
The poisonous lady and others who supported Laura defended that at that time, it was for the need for secrecy, if they reported to the headquarters first, it was possible to leak secrets, and after the headquarters made a decision, it was very likely to lose the fighter plane, and it would be outside, and the monarch's order was not granted, since Commander-in-Chief Zhao gave them the command, the affairs in their army should be decided by them with full authority.
Zhao Chun had to stop their argument and announced that it was up to everyone to vote on whether to give Laura the title of Outstanding Senior Commander.
As a result, of the twenty people who participated in the vote, thirteen voted in favor, which made Laura almost cry with excitement, it seems that after fighting side by side with these comrades in the Sanctuary for so long, they still recognize themselves.
And after seeing this result, Tianli was so angry that she slammed the door and left, she couldn't understand why a person who obviously violated discipline still got so much support from so many people.
Then Zhao Chun asked Laura what reward she wanted, and as long as he could do it, he would promise her.
Laura laughed, "Really? I'm afraid you're writing a blank check." ”
Zhao Chun said: "There is no joke in the army, let's say it." ”
"Okay, I want you to marry me. Laura said, after saying that, her face was as red as a boiled lobster, if it was before, she would never have said such a thing, but now in the face of such a strong opponent as Tianli, she can no longer care about any shame.
As soon as she said this, not only Zhao Chun, but everyone in the meeting was stunned, and they didn't expect her to say such a thing at all......
