Chapter 181: Uninvited Guest

The scale of the Silver Wolf Empire's encirclement and suppression of the human resistance army this time is unprecedented.

In addition to the 5 group armies and 10 independent divisions in the expeditionary force sequence, there are also some units of the other 4 group armies, as well as 14 other independent divisions and more than 100 security regiments.

Don't look at Igna, the governor of the Silver Wolf Empire, who swore that he was not afraid of the retaliation and slaughter of the human rebels, but the troops of the Silver Wolf Empire who participated in the attack did not dare to carry out a large-scale massacre of the humans in the Bauhinia Province, Tulip Province and Phalaenopsis Province.

Of course, killing is also indispensable, but there is no collective slaughter of the human beings in the three provinces.

The military of the Silver Wolf Empire knows that the human resistance army in the Silver Wolf Empire is no longer a soft persimmon, and once the large-scale slaughter begins, the three provinces of Bauhinia, Tulip, and Phalaenopsis will immediately become rivers of blood.

And it's not just humans who bleed, but also wolf civilians who can't escape.

After Zhou Rui learned that the Silver Wolf Empire was going to send heavy troops to encircle and suppress the Silver Wolf Column, his support for the Silver Wolf Column also increased, and even sent the entire regiment of troops to the Silver Wolf Empire according to the establishment.

Now the secret supply channel at sea between the Han and Tang Empires and the Silver Wolf Empire is through the Barbarian Bull Empire, and the establishment of this secret sea supply channel is thanks to Joanna, a fox businesswoman from the Barbarian Bull Empire.

Transports carrying supplies, weapons, ammunition, and troops would first dock at a small port in the Wild Bull Empire, and then pass through a primeval forest to reach the southern mountains of the Bauhinia Province.

At the beginning of October of Tianyuan 1539, that is, when the Silver Wolf Empire launched this large-scale encirclement and suppression, the first front army, which was the strongest in the Silver Wolf Column, already had the establishment of 5 infantry divisions.

And in the Second Front Army and the Third Front Army, one full infantry division was also established each.

After the army of the Silver Wolf Empire launched an encirclement and suppression operation, the Silver Wolf Column adopted the method of mountain ambush warfare of the large corps, which directly gave the army of the Silver Wolf Empire a blow to the head.

In the sequence of the Silver Wolf Empire Expeditionary Force, the 3 group armies and 4 independent divisions that entered the Bauhinia Province were divided into three columns and launched an attack on the activity area of the human resistance army from three directions.

Under the command of Deputy Commander-in-Chief Xiang Tao, the Silver Wolf Column dispatched small units to harass the speed of the enemy's left and middle columns, and assumed the posture of defending Candace City to the death, attracting the enemy's right column to speed up its advance in order to widen the distance between it and the other two columns.

On the morning of October 8, the Silver Wolf Column gathered 4 infantry divisions and 2 independent brigades of the First Front Army, and pressed up the 29th Army and the 39th Independent Division of the Royal Army of the Silver Wolf Empire on the enemy's right column from all sides.

After more than ten hours of bloody fighting, the 29th Army and the 39th Independent Division of the Royal Army of the Silver Wolf Empire completely collapsed, and in the end, only more than 20,000 people broke out of the encirclement, and the remaining more than 70,000 people, most of them died in battle, and a small number were forced to surrender.

This ambush battle almost shocked the entire Silver Wolf Empire.

Although the 29th Group Army of the Royal Army of the Silver Wolf Empire was formed in the war with the Flying Leopard Empire, most of its soldiers were demobilized soldiers who had just been discharged for one or two years, so the combat effectiveness of the 29th Army was actually not weak.

Even a fully staffed group army was almost wiped out by the human resistance army, how strong is the human resistance army in the Silver Wolf Empire?

This also made the other two columns in Bauhinia Province have to be more cautious.

The Silver Wolf Column took advantage of the great victory and took the opportunity to defeat two cities in Bauhinia Province in a row, which was equivalent to establishing a large base area centered on the three cities.

Just when the situation of the Silver Wolf Column was in a good situation, an uninvited guest came to the headquarters of the Silver Wolf Column in the mountains.

"Welcome Chief of General Staff Yang to the Silver Wolf Column, on behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the Silver Wolf Column, I salute Chief of General Staff Yang with a glass." Wei Zhao, commander-in-chief of the Silver Wolf Column, said to a middle-aged man with a wine glass.

This middle-aged man is the chief of staff of the General Headquarters of the Six Great Beast Clan National Resistance Forces, and his name is Yang Qingwen.

Yang Qingwen picked up his wine glass and touched it with Wei Zhao, "Commander Wei has made the Silver Wolf Column to such a scale, which can be regarded as a great contribution to our rebels, and this glass of wine should be honored by me to Commander Wei." ”

After the two of them drank a glass of wine, Wei Zhao put the wine glass on the table, and then said with a sigh: "I don't dare to be greedy for merit in this regard, if it weren't for the support of the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires, I would never have dreamed that our silver wolf column could have today."

Even a fully formed group army and a fully formed independent division of the Silver Wolf Empire were almost eaten by our Silver Wolf Column. ”

Yang Qingwen then pondered for a while and said: "The kindness of the Zhou family in the Han and Tang Empire to our rebels will definitely be remembered by our rebels.

But there are some things, Commander Wei must know in his heart that the Silver Wolf Column is subordinate to the General Headquarters of the Resistance Army, and is not the private army of the Zhou family in the Han and Tang Empires.

However, according to the understanding of the general headquarters, the current silver wolf column only knows the Zhou family, and does not know the general headquarters of the rebel army. ”

Yang Qingwen's words made Wei Zhao's face change slightly, "Chief of General Staff Yang, these words are inevitably a bit exaggerated.

Not long ago, at the request of the General Headquarters of the Rebels, our Silver Wolf Column provided a large number of weapons, ammunition, and 50 tons of food to the General Headquarters of the Rebels.

What's more, our silver wolf column ......"

Before Wei Zhao's words were finished, he was interrupted by Yang Qingwen, "Zhao Zai, I can call you that, right?" ”

The previous commander of the Silver Wolf Column, Wei Zhao's deceased father, was a good friend with Yang Qingwen before his death, and when he heard Yang Qingwen call himself Zhao Zai, Wei Zhao immediately changed his name, "Uncle Yang, of course there is no problem, didn't you call me that before." ”

Yang Qingwen sighed and said, "Zhao Zai, I know that your Silver Wolf Column was almost desperate at the beginning, so I had no choice but to take refuge in the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires.

However, after all, the Silver Wolf Column belongs to one of the six major columns of the Resistance Army, and the General Headquarters is very dissatisfied with the current situation of the Silver Wolf Column, and the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires is equivalent to emptying your rights as a commander.

You must know that since the establishment of the Silver Wolf Column, it has been branded with the mark of your Wei family, including your father, I don't know how many children of the Wei family have been sacrificed, you gave up the Silver Wolf Column to the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires, are you really willing? ”

Wei Zhao was silent when he heard this, although Wei Zhao was still the nominal commander-in-chief of the Silver Wolf Column, his rights were almost overthrown by the two deputy commanders Li Dongbao and Xiang Tao.

When the Silver Wolf Column was facing life and death, Wei Zhao didn't realize that there was anything wrong with leading the Silver Wolf Column to join the Zhou family, but as the strength of the Silver Wolf Column became stronger and stronger, Wei Zhao would inevitably feel a little disappointed and even unwilling.

The attraction of power to a person is too great, especially for a person like Wei Zhao who is not willing to be mediocre.

"Uncle Yang, come, drink, today is for you, let's not talk about other things."

Yang Qingwen heard Wei Zhao say this, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly, it seems that he has a play in the Silver Wolf Column this time!

On the night when Yang Qingwen arrived at the headquarters of the Silver Wolf Column, Hu Qi took a document and found Li Dongbao, the deputy commander of the Silver Wolf Column, who was in Candace City.

"Leopard, the General Headquarters of the Resistance Army sent a person named Yang Qingwen to the headquarters of our Silver Wolf Column.

This Yang Qingwen is the chief of the general staff of the rebel army, and he is a friend of Commander Wei's late father.

I feel that Yang Qingwen came to our Silver Wolf Column this time, I'm afraid it was not good. ”

Li Dongbao took the information brought by Hu Qi, and after reading it, he couldn't help sneering and said: "This Yang Qingwen is indeed not a simple character.

Last year's purge of the Flying Leopard Column turned out to be the hand of the chief of the General Staff.

Does he still want to recreate the matter of the Flying Leopard Column in our Silver Wolf Column? ”

Originally, before the Silver Wolf Column was funded by the Zhou family, the Flying Leopard Column located in the territory of the Flying Leopard Empire could be regarded as the strongest column in the rebel army because of the strong support of the Liang Yan Empire in all aspects.

The combat unit of the entire Flying Leopard Column totals about 50,000 people, and the weapons and equipment are not bad, and most of the soldiers can be equipped with hand-bolted repeating rifles.

It may be that the general command of the rebel army is unwilling to let the Flying Leopard Column completely out of its control, so last year, taking advantage of the internal contradictions of the Flying Leopard Column, launched a brutal purge of the Flying Leopard Column.

Not only did they kill almost one-third of the officers and men of the combat units of the Flying Leopard Column, but they also cleaned up tens of thousands of peripheral personnel of the Flying Leopard Column.

This brutal purge greatly damaged the vitality of the Flying Leopard Column, and also cut off contact with the Liang Yan Empire, only allowing the General Headquarters of the Resistance Army to regain control of the Flying Leopard Column.

Hu Qi said in a deep voice: "I think this Chief of Staff Yang and the General Headquarters of the Resistance Army may really have this idea.

In addition, according to the monitoring of Commander Wei by our 'ghost', our Commander Wei may also have some thoughts. ”

Li Dongbao frowned, "Commander Wei won't be so ignorant, right?"

Although our Silver Wolf Column has just achieved a great victory and captured two cities, the crisis has not been resolved, and the Bauhinia Province, Tulip Province and Phalaenopsis Province have attacked several large armies, but they are still there! ”

"Leopard, I know that you have a good personal relationship with Commander Wei, but personal friendship is a personal relationship, and you can't be confused in major matters.

Now the guard brigade under the command of our silver wolf column has always been firmly controlled by the commander of the guard, and from this point of view, we have to make some precautions against the commander of the guard. ”

Li Dongbao nodded slightly, "Old Seven, don't worry, if Wei Zhao really has any thoughts, I won't be polite."

No one can betray the Zhou family and betray the handsome! ”
