Chapter 100: Money Offensive
The commander of the 32nd Marine Brigade, Nichka, couldn't help frowning when he heard the military song coming from the opposite position, "What are those humans singing?" ”
"It is an ancient military song that has been circulated in the Han and Tang Empires for more than a thousand years, and I heard that it was composed by the founding emperor of the Han and Tang Empires himself." The commander of the 3rd Marine Division, Rofer, said in a deep voice.
"The military song of more than 1,000 years is really old enough.
Division commander, have you heard this military song before? What do his lyrics mean? ”
"I don't know what the lyrics are singing, but this melody is so impressive to me."
Rofer didn't say anything more, and then changed the subject: "It seems that with our current strength, it is impossible to break through the opponent's position.
I have to admit that this is a rare human elite force.
If you want to completely capture Xiangshi Island, you must transfer the remaining two infantry regiments of the 31st Marine Brigade and the 33rd Marine Brigade to Xiangshi Island. ”
Now the time has reached more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon of the 27th, under the repeated attacks of the four infantry regiments of the Third Marine Division, although the position of the Zhou Jiajun has also been in danger, but now the two-kilometer-long position is still firmly controlled by the hands of the Zhou Jiajun.
The casualties of the 3rd Marine Division have risen to 4,600, of which 3,700 were killed.
Even if the 3rd Marine Division was the elite of the Silver Wolf Empire, with more than half of the 4 infantry regiments suffering casualties, these 4 infantry regiments basically lost the ability to continue the attack.
Rofer had clearly realized that with the troops in his current hands, it was almost impossible to take the position of the Zhou army, and he had to wait for the other units of the Third Marine Division to come over and then reorganize the attack.
Nichka nodded, "I'm in favor of stopping the attack.
In addition, the enemy must have suffered heavy casualties, as long as our navy can blockade Xiangshi Island.
When the troops of the 31st Marine Brigade and the 33rd Marine Brigade arrive, victory will still be ours! ”
Rofell sighed and said, "I hope so." ”
Just when the smoke of gunpowder was filling the Xiangshi Island, Zhenwei Jiedu made Xu Wanpeng gather the generals of the subordinate troops together.
Xu Wanpeng said in a deep voice: "According to reliable information, the Silver Wolf Empire has already made a move on Xiangshi Island.
Although the Ganyang Zhou family had some strength, it was not enough to fight against the powerful Silver Wolf Empire.
Therefore, we must snatch Jingsheng City back before the Silver Wolf Empire attacks Jingsheng City, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
At this time, the generals of the Zhenwei Army in this conference room of Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion included Xu Lijiang, commander of the First Division, Xu Litong, commander of the Second Division, Xu Lihong, commander of the Third Division, and Shen Boyu, commander of the Fourth Division.
There are also Zhang Jiafeng, commander of the 1st Mixed Brigade, Xu Liwang, commander of the 2nd Mixed Brigade, and Xu Lihai, commander of the 3rd Mixed Brigade.
Among them, Xu Lijiang and Xu Litong are Xu Wanpeng's sons, Xu Lihong, Xu Liwang, and Xu Lihai are Xu Wanpeng's nephews, and Shen Boyu and Zhang Jiafeng are Xu Wanpeng's nephews.
Xu Wanpeng's eldest son, Xu Lijiang, hesitated for a moment and said: "Father, after all, the Ganyang Zhou family is at war with the Silver Wolf Empire, and our Zhenwei Army will go to recover Jingsheng City at this time, I am afraid that we will bear a lot of pressure from public opinion." ”
Xu Wanpeng's second son, Xu Litong, pursed his lips and said: "Big brother, it's all this time, how can you take care of any public opinion pressure."
This time, the Ganyang Zhou family is completely finished, if the Silver Wolf Empire takes the opportunity to seize Jingsheng City, it will be equivalent to the Silver Wolf Empire has pierced a nail in our Zhenwei Town, which will threaten the safety of the entire Zhenwei Town. ”
Xu Wanpeng sighed at this time, "It is precisely because of this worry that Ben Shuai has to implement the plan to recover Jingsheng City in advance.
Compared with the safety of the entire Zhenwei Town, some public opinion pressure can only be taken care of temporarily. ”
Hearing his father Xu Wanpeng say this, Xu Lijiang did not speak out again, but took the initiative to ask for battle: "Since my father has made up his mind, my first division is willing to recapture Jingsheng City for my father!" ”
Xu Litong was not far behind and said: "Father, I am willing to lead the second division to attack Jingsheng City!" ”
At this time, Xu Lihong, the commander of the Third Division, opened his mouth and said: "Marshal, the losses of our various units in Jingyang City have not yet recovered.
Although the Ganyang Zhou family transferred some troops from Jingshengcheng this time, according to the information we have, the Ganyang Zhou family still has a large brigade in Jingshengcheng, with a strength of up to 17,000 troops.
Moreover, the terrain around Jingsheng City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are several dangerous passes.
Even if we can break through these dangers, when we attack Jingsheng City, we will still have to face the threat of shore defense artillery and large-caliber naval artillery.
Isn't it more cautious? ”
Xu Wanpeng said categorically: "Jingsheng City is indeed not easy to fight, but in order not to give the Silver Wolf Empire an excuse to invade my Zhenwei Town, even if you pay some price, you must take back Jingsheng City as soon as possible."
This time, the commander prepared to use the 2nd Division, the 4th Division, the 2nd Mixed Brigade, and the 3rd Mixed Brigade as the main forces.
Then 20,000 to 30,000 troops were drawn from other infantry divisions and mixed brigades.
Ben Shuai doesn't believe that tens of thousands of troops can't take a small Jingsheng City! ”
In a house in Linxing City, where Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion is located, Hu Er smiled and said to a middle-aged man in a robe: "Master Lu, rest assured, our Ganyang Zhou family is very concerned about reputation.
As long as Division Commander Lu can cooperate with our Ganyang Zhou family and successfully plot against the second division of the Zhenwei Army, after the matter is completed, we will immediately present the remaining 5 million silver coins with both hands. ”
If Xu Litong, the commander of the Second Division of the Zhenwei Army, saw this middle-aged man in a robe, he would definitely be surprised.
This middle-aged man in a robe, whose name is Lu Qiudao, is the deputy commander of the Second Division of the Zhenwei Army, and he can also be regarded as one of the henchmen of Xu Wanpeng, the envoy of Zhenwei Festival.
Although Xu Litong is nominally the commander of the Second Division of the Zhenwei Army, the military affairs of the Second Division of the Zhenwei Army are basically in charge of Lu Qiudao.
Lu Qiudao pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Fox, can you exchange 5 million silver coins for the Golden Lion Empire's Golden Yuan Coupon?"
When this matter is over, I plan to take my family to settle in Heavenly Saint City, and it will be more convenient to use the Golden Lion Empire's Golden Yuan Coupon. ”
"Hehe, there is no problem, just do what Master Lu said, and I will help Master Lu exchange the remaining 5 million silver coins into Golden Yuan Coupons of the Golden Lion Empire."
In order to buy Lu Qiudao, Hu Er had previously given Lu Qiudao a Zhou's Bank golden ticket worth 1 million silver coins.
and promised that after plotting against the second division of the Zhenwei Army, the Zhou family in Ganyang would arrange for Lu Qiudao's family to settle in Ganyang City.
As for why Lu Qiudao wanted to settle in the capital Tiansheng City again, and also wanted the Golden Yuan Coupon of the Golden Lion Empire, Hu Er knew that Lu Qiudao should be afraid that the Ganyang Zhou family would not be able to survive the difficulty of the Silver Wolf Empire.
"Mr. Fox, in addition to the second division this time, the fourth division, the second mixed brigade, and the third mixed brigade will also go out together, I'm worried about ......"
"Hehe, Master Lu doesn't need to worry too much, you just need to act according to our arrangement.
I can honestly tell Division Commander Lu that among the 4th Division, the 2nd Mixed Brigade and the 3rd Mixed Brigade, there are also many friends of our Ganyang Zhou family. ”
After Lu Qiudao left, Hu Qi walked in, "Second brother, under Lu Qiudao's recommendation, the remaining brigade-level officers and regimental-level officers of the Second Division have already collected the money.
If there is no accident, our Ganyang Zhou family should be able to take over the second infantry division of the Zhenwei Army completely, but the cost is a bit large. ”
Hu Er said with a smile: "This time, our Zhou family, how much territory we can grab here in Zhenwei Town depends on the effect of this money offensive.
So don't be afraid to spend money, if we can spend 100 million silver coins, maybe the entire Zhenwei Town will have to be pocketed by our Zhou family! ”
Hu Qi nodded slightly, "I didn't expect that the officers of these descendants under the command of Zhenwei Jiedu would be so easy to buy, and even a general of Lu Qiudao's level would be willing to accept our money." ”
"It's not surprising that Lu Qiudao received money, according to our investigation, Lu Qiudao has been in charge of the military affairs of the Second Infantry Division of the Zhenwei Army over the years, but he has not lost money.
What's more, he has been very, very close to Xu Wanpeng's second son over the years.
According to the situation in Zhenwei Town, the next Zhenwei Festival Envoy must be succeeded by Xu Wanpeng's eldest son, and Lu Qiudao will definitely be marginalized at that time.
It is better to take advantage of the military power now and make a lot of money in the end. ”
