Chapter 318: Burning the City
After the main force of the Nine Nations Alliance completely left the territory of the Silver Wolf Empire, the Han and Tang Dynasty armies quickly captured more than a dozen other cities in the Holy Wolf Flower Province and Xiangxuelan Province of the Silver Wolf Empire, in addition to Silver Light City.
In this way, the entire Silver Wolf Empire is left with the nail of Silver Light City, which needs to be pulled out by the Han and Tang armies.
However, with the support of the Silver Wolf Empire at any cost, it was not easy for the Han and Tang armies to capture Silver Light City for a while.
In a large hall in the imperial palace of Tiansheng City, the capital of the Han and Tang Empires, Xiang Tao, chief of the general staff of the Royal Army, reported to Zhou Rui: "Your Majesty, our army has invested 4 group armies and 7 garrison divisions in Yinguang City, and there are 5 group armies and 20 garrison divisions serving as reserves.
However, the Silver Wolf Army's defense of Silver Light City is very tenacious, and many of the neighborhoods that have become ruins, the Silver Wolf Army will also repeatedly compete with our army, and the battle situation is quite tragic.
In addition, there is a different time and space node in Silverlight City that connects to Yinhui City, the capital of the Silver Wolf Empire, and the Silver Wolf Empire can always send troops and combat materials to Yinguang City, and it is almost impossible for our army to conquer Yinguang City in a short period of time. ”
Zhou Rui immediately said: "Silver Light City can fight slowly, don't put too much pressure on the front-line troops." ”
After a pause, Zhou Rui continued: "If Silverlight City is too difficult to gnaw, you can allow the Air Force to drop gasoline incendiary bombs on Silverlight City." ”
Gasoline incendiary bombs can be regarded as a kind of mass killing weapon, and after the Han and Tang Empires developed it, it has been kept secret, and it has only been used once in the wizarding world.
Due to the vicious power of gasoline incendiary bombs, Zhou Rui never approved the use of this weapon by the Royal Air Force.
Of course, Zhou Rui is not a saint, if he really needs gasoline incendiary bombs to solve the problem, Zhou Rui will not fake Qinggao, he will still use it.
In addition, Zhou Rui did not let the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires use gasoline incendiary bombs, because he was afraid that the gasoline incendiary bombs would be imitated by the enemy and smashed on the head of the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires.
Xiang Tao hesitated for a moment and said, "Gasoline incendiary bombs are a way to solve the problem of Silver Light City.
However, after the gasoline incendiary bomb is exposed, with the technological level of those beast countries and elf countries, it may be possible to imitate the gasoline incendiary bomb soon, which is not a good thing for our Royal Army.
It is better not to use gasoline incendiary bombs or not to use them, gasoline incendiary bombs are really too vicious. ”
"It is ultimately up to your front-line command to decide whether the gasoline incendiary bomb will work, and I don't want this kind of mass killing weapon to appear on the battlefield.
But don't be afraid if you need to.
By the way, what is your army's thinking about the direction of the attack next? ”
"Your Majesty, now the Nine Nations Alliance has arranged a defensive line on the border of the Black Bear Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire.
Because wars have broken out between the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire many times before, the border defense line of the Flying Leopard Empire is stronger than that of the Black Bear Empire, so our Royal Army is ready to fight the Black Bear Empire first. ”
The Black Bear Empire has a land area of about 15 million square kilometers in the Western Continent, and on the side of the Spirit World, the Black Bear Empire also has about 10.5 million square kilometers of land, and the total population of the Black Bear Empire is about 320 million, which is the most populous country among the six beast countries.
The total population of 320 million in the Black Bear Empire includes about 180 million bears and 140 million pigs.
According to the information obtained by the Royal Intelligence Bureau of the Han and Tang Empires, the Black Bear Empire has undergone a comprehensive war mobilization, and the total strength of its army has exceeded 30 million, and tens of millions of militias have been armed.
Zhou Rui frowned and said, "How many troops is the army ready to invest in attacking the Black Bear Empire?"
Compared to the Silver Wolf Empire, the Black Bear Empire will be more difficult to gnaw. ”
Xiang Tao then said: "Your Majesty, our Royal Army is ready to gather 120 group armies and 500 garrison divisions to attack the Black Bear Empire, and the Royal Air Force will also gather at least 70 air divisions to cooperate with our Royal Army to attack the Black Bear Empire." ”
"What about the time of the attack?"
"It will take about 2 months to prepare, and the offensive is planned for mid-February next year."
Zhou Rui pondered for a moment and said, "If you want to attack the Black Bear Empire, it is best to solve the Silver Light City first, so as to avoid the Silver Wolf Empire from making trouble in the back." ”
"Boom-boom-"
Countless cannonballs fell on the ruins of Silverlight City, and the dust kicked up by the explosion was mixed with many stumps and broken arms.
After half an hour of shelling, a large number of officers and soldiers of the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires launched an attack on this ruin, and easily captured this ruin.
However, soon the cannonballs of the Silver Wolf Empire smashed into this ruin.
After the 10-minute bombardment was over, the army of the Silver Wolf Empire reoccupied the ruins after paying heavy casualties.
Immediately afterwards, the artillery of the Han and Tang armies began to pour shells into this ruin......
Now the entire Silver Light City has almost completely turned into ruins, but the battle in the city has become more and more fierce, and almost every position, the armies of both sides will fight repeatedly.
At this time, the Silver Light City was covered with the corpses of the fallen soldiers on both sides.
In the city of Silverlight City, the headquarters located near the node of different time and space in the center of the city, the Minister of War Luka said to the 15 generals of the Royal Army of the Silver Wolf Empire: "Don't talk to me about casualties, and don't talk to me about difficulties.
Before dawn tomorrow, the position of our Silver Wolf Army must be restored to the boundary of the day before yesterday. ”
At present, the Silver Wolf Empire has 15 group armies in Silver Light City, and these 15 generals are the commanders of the 15 group armies.
Originally, according to the latest establishment of the Silver Wolf Empire's Army, the strength of each group army was about 120,000, but at present, the strength of each of the 15 group armies in Silver Light City has always remained above 200,000.
A general of the Royal Army of the Silver Wolf Empire said with an embarrassed expression: "Marshal, even at night, the Han and Tang armies have the advantage of air supremacy.
It may be difficult to regain all the positions lost in the previous two days overnight. ”
War Minister Luca snorted coldly and said, "I have just said, don't talk to me about difficulties.
If there are difficulties, you must overcome them yourself, anyway, before dawn tomorrow, you must recapture all the positions lost in the previous two days! ”
Another general of the Royal Army of the Silver Wolf Empire immediately sighed and said, "Then you can only fill it with human lives." ”
War Minister Luka's tone softened slightly, "Ladies and gentlemen, Silverlight City is already the last territory of our Silver Wolf Empire in the New World.
Now there are still millions of officers and soldiers on the side of Yinhui City, waiting to replenish your 15 group armies.
In the future, no matter how heavy the casualties are, we must defend Silverlight City. ”
Today is December 30, 1557, and it is also the traditional festival of the Han and Tang Empires, Chinese New Year's Eve.
The Silver Wolf Army took advantage of Chinese New Year's Eve to launch a large-scale counterattack and recaptured several blocks from the Han and Tang forces.
At the Jingzhou Military Region Headquarters, Commander Song Shenghe said to Deputy Commander Li Guangbei with some annoyance: "The Silver Wolf Empire is determined to spend it with us in Silver Light City." ”
Li Guangbei sighed and said: "Now the Silver Wolf Empire has given up the other cities in the Holy Wolf Flower Province and the Xiangxuelan Province, leaving only the Silver Light City, just to fight with us in the Silver Light City.
After fighting for so many days, although we have eliminated millions of defenders of the Silver Wolf Empire, the strength of the Silver Wolf Army in Silver Light City has not decreased.
Behind Silverlight City, there is the entire Silver Wolf Empire on the other side of the Beast World. ”
Commander Song Shenghe's eyes flashed with a cold light, "Lao Li, according to the current situation, if our army wants to hit the city center and capture that node in different time and space, it is still far away.
I'm going to contact the Royal Air Force and use incendiary petrol! ”
"Old Xiang, after the gasoline incendiary bomb is exposed, maybe the Nine-Nation Alliance will soon be able to imitate it, and then our Royal Army will also face the danger of being attacked by the gasoline incendiary bomb."
"Don't be afraid of being copied by the enemy, let the gasoline incendiary bombs eat ashes in the warehouse forever!
What's more, the emperor has already handed over the right to use gasoline incendiary bombs to us, which means that the emperor also hopes that we can capture Silverlight City as soon as possible, so as not to involve energy on the side of Silverlight City when attacking the Black Bear Empire. ”
On the afternoon of January 1, 1558, the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires dispatched thousands of goshawk jet long-range bombers and dropped more than 30,000 tons of gasoline incendiary bombs on Yinguang City, igniting most of the Silver Light City.
Nearly 3 million officers and soldiers of the Silver Wolf Imperial Army, including Army Minister Luca, were almost all swallowed up by more than 30,000 tons of gasoline incendiary bombs.
In the evening of the same day, the Han and Tang armies took the opportunity to capture the different time and space nodes in the city center.
By noon the next day, the remaining officers and soldiers of the Silver Wolf Empire in Silver Light City had been cleared by the Han and Tang Dynasty troops.
In the palace of Silver Glory City, the first capital of the Silver Wolf Empire, Emperor Joselu said in a mournful voice: "It's over! It's all over!
I didn't expect that the Han and Tang Empires still had such vicious weapons, and a single fire burned to death 3 million soldiers of our Silver Wolf Empire's Royal Army!
That's 3 million! ”
Prime Minister Rofek gritted his teeth and said: "The Han and Tang empires must be condemned!"
The Han and Tang Empires were so desperate that they developed such a vicious weapon, and the whole world should condemn the Han and Tang Empires! ”
Governor Igna sighed and said, "If the condemnation had worked, there would have been no war between the Nine Nations Military Alliance and the Han and Tang Empires.
Father, we have to inform the other 8 allies about Silverlight City, and ask the Empire's scientific research department to develop an incendiary bomb as soon as possible.
At the same time, we also have to send troops to the border defense line of the Black Bear Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire, and if our Silver Wolf Empire wants to regain the territory occupied by the Han and Tang Empires, we can only count on the allies of the Nine Nations Military Alliance. ”
Emperor Joselu nodded, "There are still about 4 million troops here in Yinhui City, so let's send 2 million people from them to support the border defense line of the Black Bear Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire!"
I hope that our Silver Wolf Empire will not be completely driven out of the New World like the Red Tiger Empire and the Barbarian Bull Empire. ”
In the palace of Norya, the first capital of the Golden Lion Empire, Emperor Cosno said to Prime Minister Salento with emotion: "It's like burning the city."
The 3 million army of the Silver Wolf Empire was almost burned down by the Han and Tang Empires, and the Silver Light City was lost, and the Silver Wolf Empire was driven out of the New World.
According to the information sent by the Silver Wolf Empire, when the incendiary bomb explodes, it will form a layer of flame that sputters in all directions, and can stick to any object and burn for a long time.
If it splashes on a person, if a person uses his hand to slap it, the fire will get bigger and bigger, and if he rolls on the ground to extinguish the fire, he will get fire all over his body, which is really vicious and abnormal. ”
Prime Minister Salento said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister has ordered the scientific research departments of several large arsenals to start developing the kind of incendiary bombs used in the Han and Tang Empires.
If the Han and Tang Empires continue to use this kind of incendiary bomb in the future, I am afraid that the border defense line of the Black Bear Empire and the border defense line of the Flying Leopard Empire will be somewhat dangerous. ”
"The border defense line of the Black Bear Empire and the border defense line of the Flying Leopard Empire are both heavily stationed, even if the Han and Tang Empires have that kind of vicious incendiary bomb, don't want to easily break through the border defense line of these two countries.
However, the land forces that our Golden Lion Empire will support the Black Bear Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire will postpone their departure for the time being, and then we will see the situation.
By the way, has the Royal Navy's super aircraft carrier been designed? ”
Prime Minister Salento nodded and said: "According to His Majesty's requirements, the Royal Navy has designed a super aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of up to 410,000 tons.
Its maximum speed is designed to be 27.5 knots, the waterline armor belt is 500 mm to 600 mm thick, the flight deck armor is 350 mm thick, and the hangar deck armor is 250 mm thick.
It is equipped with 30 twin 80-mm high-level guns, 80 twin-mounted 30-mm anti-aircraft guns, 140 13-mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and can carry more than 500 jet carrier-based aircraft.
The defense power of this super aircraft carrier even surpasses that of the Mad Lion-class super battleship. ”
"How much will it cost?"
Prime Minister Salento hesitated for a moment and said: "If 6 super aircraft carriers are built at the same time, the cost can be compressed to 630 million silver coins each." ”
Emperor Kosno couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he heard that the cost of each super aircraft carrier was as high as 630 million silver coins, it was too expensive!
However, in the previous decisive battle between the combined fleet of the nine navies and the main force of the Han and Tang Empire Navy, the six super aircraft carriers of the Han and Tang Empire Navy performed very eye-catching.
Even if they were hit by multiple aerial bombs and multiple aerial torpedoes, the 6 super aircraft carriers of the Han and Tang Imperial Navy were still not sunk, and even until the end of the war, the 6 super aircraft carriers of the Han and Tang Imperial Navy still maintained a certain combat effectiveness.
"No matter how expensive it is, you have to build it!
Our Golden Lion Empire currently has only 24 Stinger-class aircraft carriers and 53 Poison Lotus-class aircraft carriers left, and we must build more powerful aircraft carriers.
Some of the rare treasures of the royal treasury before were auctioned for 1.5 billion silver coins, plus the war treasury bonds that sold for billions of silver coins, our Golden Lion Empire built 6 ships...... There is no problem in building 8 super aircraft carriers! ”
