Chapter 165: Five Peaks Sneak Attack
What Zhao Chun didn't expect was that the Black Ice Tribe actually played the trick of sneak attack. Because according to the intelligence, the Black Ice Tribe's integration training of the newly joined race troops has not yet been completed, and it will take at least half a month before they can launch an attack, and before that, they have only conducted some small-scale combat exercises, which are also part of their usual training.
But that night, Zhao Chun, who was sleeping, was awakened, and someone sent information that the Black Ice Tribe launched an attack in the direction of Wufeng Mountain, and broke through the defense line in this direction within an hour, and 150,000 defenders were surrounded.
Despite the stubborn resistance of the local soldiers and civilians, in just three hours, the enemy army still advanced nearly 100 kilometers under the cover of aircraft and tanks, and had penetrated deep into the interior of the Tianhai tribe, and they burned and looted all the way, and everywhere they passed, there was not a single grass, and in this short period of hours, it is estimated that tens of thousands of innocent civilians of the Tianhai tribe were slaughtered and died in the war.
"What about Tianmen and Shenju? Did they get any information? What are they all eating, the enemy has already hit the doorstep, and they have not received any news, are they all blind and deaf?" Zhao Chun was angry, he was so shocked by this news that he couldn't calm down for a long time, he had set up a military intelligence department before, which was specifically responsible for intelligence collection, but now, the enemy has come in, and there is no news at all, and they are too derelict in their duties.
Zhao Chun hurriedly informed Tiancang and others to hold a meeting, and at the same time got in touch with the Shen Bureau in charge of this direction, and the Shen Bureau reported the military situation while asking for support, he said: "The 150,000 troops who were surrounded have now entered a series of fortifications such as tunnels and trenches prepared earlier, and are holding on to and waiting for reinforcements, but most of the heavy weapons were destroyed by the sudden attack of the enemy, and they cannot form an effective counterattack. And the radar ** system arranged in the rear, after detecting the enemy, launched a counterattack, and now it has shot down hundreds of enemy planes, and dozens of tanks have been destroyed, but because the number of enemy aircraft and tanks is too large, the defense system appears to be a little thin. β
Zhao Chun immediately gave him an order, asking him to organize the 500,000 troops stationed in City C and City F, and arrange five lines of defense to delay the offensive momentum of the enemy.
At this moment, Zhao Chuncai felt that there were too few generals under his command, and if the Shen Bureau could easily block one side like Wang Zhen, his pressure would be reduced a lot. Although Shen Ju followed from the beginning, he was easy to do things impulsively, when there were only thousands to tens of thousands of people before, he was undoubtedly a good general, he could charge ahead every time he fought, killing the enemy until he was cold, speaking of bravery, he was called second in the army, and others did not dare to call him first, but in terms of planning, he was much worse than Wang Zhen. And this kind of large corps combat, planning is very important, often a single decision, can decide the life and death of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, fortunately, he is more thorough in the implementation of his own orders, is a person who has grown up by himself, knows the roots, so it is more comfortable to use.
Here, Zhao Chun had just finished talking to the Shen Bureau, and the canopy, sky, and others had already arrived, and they heard that the enemy army had suddenly attacked, although they had already prepared, but they were still a little confused.
Zhao Chun saw that the high-level leaders of the Tianhai tribe had basically arrived, the sky, the canopy, the marshal Tianyi, the marshal Tianding, the marshal of the celestials, Zelin, the heavenly wolf, the providence, etc., were crowded to the full, only the Tianmen and the other two marshals guarding the important pass did not rush back because of the heavy task and the long distance, but they had already informed them of the latest military information, and the spirit of this meeting would also be transmitted to them soon.
Zhao Chun first gave a brief briefing on the latest military situation, including the situation between the enemy and us, and the results and losses of our army.
As soon as Zhao Chun's words fell, the Celestial Marshal immediately said: "According to Mr. Zhao, it has been more than three hours since the Black Ice Tribe launched a surprise attack, why have we only gotten the news now? What is our intelligence department doing? What about the commander in charge of this direction? Have we fulfilled our responsibilities? Didn't we claim to be well prepared and foolproof before the battle? Why did we let the enemy army penetrate hundreds of kilometers deep into our Tianhai tribe after just a few hours of fighting?"
Zhao Chun glanced at this guy and said: "Regarding this invasion, the Ministry of Intelligence does have an unshirkable responsibility, and I have already asked the person in charge of the Ministry of Intelligence just now- Marshal Tianhuo, he said that in the past month, he had received no less than ten times the news that the Black Ice Tribe was going to attack, of which five were in the direction of Xiongguan, two in the direction of the Southeast Plains, and four in the rest of the directions, but later it was confirmed that these were all false news spread by the enemy, and this time it was the same, last night they received the news that the enemy army was assembling in the direction of Wufeng Mountain, but they believed that the enemy army had not yet been fully integrated and would not attack in a short time, and the enemy army had often assembled and trained in that direction before, so they did not take this news seriously, did not notify us in time, and did not notify the front line in timeγ As far as this matter is concerned, he is indeed derelict in his duties, how to deal with it, everyone can discuss it, and send it to a military court, I have no opinion. β
"What about the commander in the direction of Wufeng Mountain? Why didn't he report it in time?" Marshal Tianren was very annoyed, speaking of which, that Marshal Tianhuo was still a little related to him, and now that such a thing has happened, this responsibility is really difficult to bear.
"Maybe you don't believe it, but there was a small glitch on the radio just now, which caused the bureau to be unable to contact us directly in time, and then he had to send a flying signal corps to fly back to deliver news to us. Half an hour ago, the radio was finally repaired, and I spoke to him, instructing him to set up five lines of defense in the place where the enemy must pass to stop the enemy's advance, as for the 150,000 troops surrounded by the enemy, they were holding on to and waiting for reinforcements, as much as possible they were subjected to the fierce attack of the enemy's artillery fire, as well as the repeated charges of the armored groups and infantry on the ground, and the casualties were huge, but they knew that behind them were tens of millions of compatriots of the motherland, who were using the tunnels they had built before. Trenches and other fortifications put up stubborn resistance, and they have expressed their determination to live and die with their positions, and will never surrender even to the last man. What we should do now is to find a way to support them as soon as possible and push back the Black Ice Tribe's army. Zhao Chun said with a heavy heart.
Canopy frowned and said, "But we don't have any troops to adjust now?" Because of the gentle terrain, the direction of Wufeng Mountain has always been the focus of our defense, and there are 650,000 troops guarding that direction, accounting for one-third of the country's army. Although the terrain in the direction of Xiongguan is dangerous, it has always been a battleground for soldiers, when our country had wars with other tribes in the past, the enemy also liked to attack from that direction, the last time the Black Ice tribe attacked from that direction, according to intelligence, this time they also gathered a lot of troops in that direction, so we also stationed 400,000 troops in that direction, and this force is not moving. Then there is the direction of the Oolong Tribe, because our country's alliance with the Oolong tribe is not very successful, so in order to prevent them from taking advantage of the fire to rob, 400,000 troops are also deployed in that direction. The remaining 100,000 troops were deployed around the capital. How do you say it's going to be adjusted?"
Zhao Chun said with a smile: "I bet that Tianli's cheap husband didn't dare to send troops over, because we had already scared them last time, and even if they came, I was sure that I would solve them within a few days, so let's transfer 300,000 troops from this direction, and the capital doesn't have to leave so many troops, just let the 10,000 Praetorian Guards of Tianluo take on the responsibility of guarding the capital, so that we can gather more than 400,000 troops." I will first lead the more than 100,000 elites guarding the capital to rush over tonight, and it is expected that they will arrive tomorrow afternoon, and the rest will be led by the canopy, and they will rush as soon as possible, we must launch a counterattack in the shortest possible time, and strive to annihilate the army of the Black Ice Tribe that invaded tonight in our country, and only by annihilating as many of the enemy's living forces as possible can we win the war. β
When the people here heard this, they couldn't help but roll their eyes, everyone else was still worried about the sudden attack of the Black Ice Tribe, since they had already launched an attack, it was hard to guarantee that they would not launch a second attack, what if they launched another attack from another direction? This is probably a high probability event, after all, they claim to have an army of three million, how can they sit back and wait for you to eat his millions of troops? Isn't this guy stunned? Or like the nephew of Marshal Tianhuo, known as the king of bragging, he is now under the influence of the Shen Bureau, bragging to him every day......
"What? You doubt my abilities, do you want us to make another military order and make a bet?"
"Cut ......" everyone gave him a roll of the eyes, the lesson of Tianmen is still in front of him, he must not bet with this madman again, otherwise, his own family does not have the princess who has captivated the country and the city, do they want to confiscate all the family wealth? This is not a good idea, after all, as aristocrats, they still want some face, without family wealth, how can they live a decent life?
"Okay, let me analyze the current situation with you, since the Black Ice Tribe can keep the Five Divisions Alliance neutral, and have many small and medium-sized tribes support them, they have undoubtedly integrated the power of most of the Holy Domain, this power, whether economically or militarily, is not something that we can compete with a single Tianhai tribe, so in terms of war potential, we are far inferior to them, not to mention that they also have the full support of the Huoyan Kingdom of another continent, and a protracted war is very unfavorable to us. But the problem is here, if we can annihilate the living force of the Black Ice Tribe Alliance in the shortest possible time, although we may pay a greater sacrifice, their seemingly unbreakable alliance will be self-defeating, we must play our majesty, play our dignity, and fight until they tremble at the mention of war, so that we can survive by fighting, we have no way to retreat, only to move forward bravely, even if the last drop of blood is shed, we must not retreat half a step!"
