Fan Donghe, the commander of the Third Group of the Imperial Army of the Liang Yan Empire, took the unconditional surrender message issued by Emperor Fan Xin himself, and unwillingly asked Ma Ruichen, the deputy commander of the Third Group, and Peng Cao, the chief of staff of the army: "Is it just surrendering to the Han and Tang armies?" ”

The army commander Fan Donghe belongs to the sect disciples of the Liang Yan Empire, and the third group under his command is one of the ace units of the Royal Army of the Liang Yan Empire.

When the Han and Tang armies launched an offensive, Fan Donghe's third group was stationed in the border area of the Liang Yan Empire, and the third group was also the only unit among the 23 group armies arranged by the Liang Yan Empire in the border area.

Since the 18 air divisions stationed in the border areas of the Liang Yan Empire had long been mastered by the Han and Tang Empires, the army units of the Liang Yan Empire stationed in the border areas would be difficult to resist the attack of the Han and Tang Empires even if they resisted desperately.

However, the Han and Tang armies did not blindly attack the recalcitrant Liang Yan army.

For example, the third group of the Royal Army of the Liang Yan Empire was divided and surrounded by a part of the Han and Tang armies, while the other units of the Han and Tang armies bypassed the area held by the third group of the Royal Army of the Liang Yan Empire and continued to advance towards the hinterland of the Liang Yan Empire.

The Third Group of the Royal Army of the Liang Yan Empire had 1 armored division, 4 infantry divisions and 1 group army headquarters, which were divided into three parts by the Han and Tang armies, and the group army headquarters where the army commander Fan Donghe was located, as well as the armored division and 1 infantry division, were surrounded together.

In the face of the siege of the Han and Tang armies, the army commander Fan Donghe organized troops to try to break through several times, but under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Han and Tang imperial air forces and artillery, several breakthrough operations ended in failure, and the armored division as an assault force suffered heavy losses.

Even under the encirclement of the Han and Tang armies, the three parts of the third group, which were divided, had no way to regroup together.

In fact, many of the Liangyan Imperial Army units in the border area, which were surrounded by the Han and Tang armies like the Third Group, chose to surrender to the Han and Tang armies during the month-long siege, and only the Third Group never surrendered to the Han and Tang armies under the toughness of the army commander Fan Donghe.

Ma Ruichen, deputy commander of the third group, said gloomily: "Donghe, the matter has come to this, let's go with the overall situation!"

After all, even the emperor has already surrendered, and there is no point in our Third Army holding on any longer, so let's contact the Han and Tang armies as soon as possible and prepare for the handover! ”

Army Commander Fan Donghe gritted his teeth and said, "Handover? That's a surrender!

Our Liangyan Empire has tens of millions of standing troops, how can it become like this in just a month?

I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled!

Could it be that the Liang Yan Empire, which has been inherited for more than a thousand years, is over like this? ”

Peng Cao, chief of staff of the army, said with emotion: "Donghe, it is obvious that the three armies of our Liang Yan Empire, the navy, land and air force have already been infiltrated by the Han and Tang Empires, more than a thousand warships of the navy and thousands of advanced fighters of the air force? It was almost completely packed and sent to the Han and Tang Empires.

The Han and Tang armies have just attacked the border defense line of our Liang Yan Empire? There were 7 fully formed group armies, and they surrendered to the Han and Tang Empires without firing a shot? And a lot of armored and infantry divisions? Also under the leadership of divisional officers, he took refuge in the Han and Tang Empires? As a result, the so-called border defense line of our Liang Yan Empire suddenly became a sieve.

Now that the emperor has announced his unconditional surrender? Our Third Army should follow the emperor's last will! ”

Paused? Peng Cao, the chief of staff of the army, sighed and said: "Alas, the emperor should have no choice, originally there was a big gap in strength between our Liang Yan Empire and the Han and Tang Empires.

After the Navy and Air Force all defected, and our Royal Army also had a large number of troops surrendered without a fight? Where can it withstand the attack of the Han and Tang armies? Even the fall of the capital Lingyang City is only a matter of time. ”

Fan Donghe actually knew that just relying on a Third Army that was divided and surrounded by the Han and Tang armies could not change anything, but Fan Donghe, as a child of the clan? For the Liang Yan Empire to be annexed by the Han and Tang Empires in this way, he was very unwilling in his heart.

But what if you are unwilling?

Fan Donghe finally sighed? "Contact the Han and Tang Army!"

At about 10 a.m. on March 3, 1577, Li Tianshun, deputy commander of the 23rd Army of the Imperial Army of the Han and Tang Empires? He personally led the team to the headquarters of the Third Group of the Royal Army of the Liang Yan Empire.

Fan Donghe saluted Li Tianshun with a military salute, "Commander of the Third Group of the Royal Army of the Liang Yan Empire?" Army General Fan Donghe was ordered to surrender to your department! ”

After speaking, Fan Donghe untied his saber? Both hands were handed to Li Tianshun.

Li Tianshun immediately returned a military salute? "Deputy Commander of the 23rd Group Army of the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires, Army General Li Tianshun has been ordered to take over your department!"

After speaking, Li Tianshun took Fan Donghe's saber with both hands.

Fan Donghe then said in a deep voice: "General Li, I am a little unwell, and the next surrender will be coordinated by Ma Ruichen, the deputy commander of our third group, and Peng Cao, the chief of staff of the army." ”

After Fan Donghe finished speaking, he didn't wait for Li Tianshun to speak, turned his head and left.

Li Tianshun didn't care about Fan Donghe's attitude, and said with a smile to Deputy Army Commander Ma Ruichen and Army Chief of Staff Peng Cao: "Presumably the two are Army Commander Ma and Chief of Staff Peng, right?" ”

"The contemptible person is Ma Ruichen."

"The contemptible person is Peng Cao."

"Hehe, I'll have to trouble Commander Ma and Chief of Staff Peng next."

"Admiral Li rest assured that the two of us will definitely cooperate with the surrender of all units of the Third Army."

Li Tianshun is very enthusiastic about Ma Ruichen and Peng Cao, both of whom have strong military command talents, and there is a high probability that the two will be absorbed into the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires in the future.

And a general like Fan Donghe, who was born in a clan, no matter how strong his military command ability is, I am afraid that he will not have the opportunity to lead troops again in the future.

During the surrender of the Third Army, an old friend of Ma Ruichen and Peng Cao suddenly visited, and this person's original identity was the deputy commander of the Fourth Army of the Royal Army of the Liang Yan Empire, whose name was Mu Zhongming.

"Lao Ma, Lao Peng, didn't expect me to come, right?" Mu Zhongming asked with a smile.

Ma Ruichen smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Zhongming, you have made our Third Army miserable.

Fan Donghe wants to know that you are coming, and if he can't get it, he will have to use a knife to cut you. ”

It turned out that before the Han and Tang armies attacked the border defense line of the Liang Yan Empire, Mu Zhongming, who was the deputy commander of the Fourth Group Army of the Liang Yan Empire, suddenly imprisoned the commander and chief of staff of the Fourth Group Army of the Liang Yan Empire's Royal Army, and then wiped out all the officers above the fourth group of corps, and finally the 200,000 officers and soldiers of the entire Fourth Group Army were taken over by the Han and Tang armies almost without firing a shot.

The defense area of the Fourth Army was on the right flank of the Third Army, and due to the surrender of the Fourth Army without a fight, the Han and Tang armies easily crossed the border defense line of the Liang Yan Empire, and launched an attack on the Third Army from behind, which eventually led to the Third Army being divided and surrounded into three parts.

Mu Zhongming then put away the smile on his face, "Lao Ma, Lao Peng, let me reintroduce myself."

My real name is Liu Zhongming, and I am an intelligence officer of the Royal Intelligence Bureau of the Han and Tang Empires, but my relationship is subordinate to the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires, and the rank is Major General.

I have just received news that because of my meritorious contribution to the rebellion against the Fourth Army, I will not only be promoted in rank, but also will soon be appointed as the commander of the 151st Army of the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires, which was formed by the merger of the Third Army and the Fourth Army of the former Liang Yan Empire. ”

Peng Cao said with a wry smile: "Our Liang Yan Empire has not lost unjustly, the intelligence officer of the Han and Tang Empires has actually become the lieutenant general of our Liang Yan Empire's Royal Army, how can this battle be fought!" ”

Liu Zhongming immediately said: "Lao Ma, Lao Peng, this is a matter for each of them, and don't blame me for deceiving you for more than 20 years." ”

After Liu Zhongming was arranged by the Royal Intelligence Bureau of the Han and Tang Empires to the Liang Yan Empire, he was admitted to the Royal Army Academy of the Liang Yan Empire, and became classmates with Ma Ruichen and Peng Cao at the same time.

Ma Ruichen asked at this time: "According to what you mean, the various group armies of our Liang Yan Empire will be reorganized into the armies of the Han and Tang Empires?" ”

Liu Zhongming said: "In the future, all human beings will belong to one country, that is, our Han and Tang Empires, and there will be no enemy or enemy in the future."

According to the meaning of the Army Command, the 35 group armies of the former Liangyan Imperial Army will be reorganized into 20 group armies, and except for a few group armies, in principle, the two group armies will be merged and reorganized into one group army.

I recommended the two of you to the above, hoping that Lao Ma Lai will be the deputy commander of the 151st Group Army, which is equivalent to the deputy commander, and Lao Peng will be the chief of staff of the 151st Group Army. ”

Ma Ruichen and Peng Cao glanced at each other, and both of them were a little moved, after all, they were just in their early 50s, and they didn't want to take off their military uniforms yet.

Ma Ruichen hesitated for a moment and asked, "Zhongming, what will Commander Fan Donghe arrange?" ”

Liu Zhongming said with some regret: "Since Lao Fan is a child of the clan, it is impossible to continue to lead troops in the future.

As for the specific arrangement, I don't know. ”

At the Rihuigang Naval Base of the former Liang Yan Empire, Sun Baogang, the former commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Liang Yan Empire, was accompanying Wang Kui, commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, to visit a Lake-class aircraft carrier independently built by the Liang Yan Empire.

"Wang Shuai, the lake-class aircraft carrier has a displacement of 278,000 tons and can carry 96 White Eagle class carrier-based fighters, 96 Black Eagle class carrier-based fighters, 6 early warning aircraft, 6 electronic warfare aircraft, 12 anti-submarine helicopters and 4 rescue helicopters.

It is equipped with six six-mounted anti-aircraft missile launchers, eight four-barreled 20-mm rapid-fire guns, and ship's electrical weapon systems such as anti-air search radar, sea search radar, fire control radar, jamming rocket launcher, and torpedo defense system for surface ships.

The comprehensive combat capability of the Lake-class aircraft carriers should still be above the island-class aircraft carriers of our Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires. ”

Wang Kui nodded and said, "The performance of the White Eagle class carrier-based fighters and the Black Eagle class carrier-based fighters is very good in all aspects, no worse than the Tomcat carrier-based fighters and Hornet carrier-based fighters equipped with our Han and Tang Empire Royal Navy.

After the Ministry of Industry takes over several large aircraft factories in the former Liang Yan Empire, it will let those large aircraft factories give priority to the production of White Eagle class carrier-based fighters and Black Eagle class carrier-based fighters, and strive to equip the 40 Lake-class aircraft carriers with carrier-based aircraft as soon as possible.

In addition, I came here in person this time to tell you that the navy of the former Liangyan Empire will be integrated into the 13th main fleet of our Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, and you will serve as the fleet commander of the 13th fleet. ”

Sun Baogang couldn't help but be happy when he heard this, although he was sent to the Liangyan Empire by the Royal Intelligence Bureau, his establishment has always remained in the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires.

Previously, he was already a vice admiral in the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, and this time he was appointed as the fleet commander of the 13th Fleet, and the rank should be promoted to admiral.

The most important thing is that the navy of the original Liang Yan Empire was reorganized into the thirteenth fleet of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, which means that he can lead the fleet and compete with the combined fleet of the nine navies on the battlefield.

"Thank you Wang Shuai, I will definitely integrate the 13th Fleet as soon as possible."

Wang Kui then said: "In the next integration, some of the warships of the original Liangyan Empire will be transferred to other main fleets, and some warships will be transferred to the Thirteenth Fleet.

In this regard, you must do a good job in the ideological work of the officers and men, and you must not make any trouble and delay the preparations of our Royal Navy.

You should also know that at present, between our Han and Tang Empires and the military alliance of the Nine Kingdoms, a little spark can trigger a new war. ”

"Wang Shuai rest assured, almost all of the top leaders of the former Liangyan Empire's navy are from our Han and Tang Empire's Royal Navy, and this adaptation will definitely not cause any chaos."

At the Furong Mountain Air Base of the former Liangyan Empire, Huang Zhigang, commander-in-chief of the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires, said to Wang Gang, the former commander-in-chief of the Royal Air Force of the Liang Yan Empire: "This time, after the air force of the Liang Yan Empire is merged into our Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires, you will serve as the deputy chief of staff of the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires."

The 27 air divisions of the original Liangyan Imperial Air Force will be reorganized into 9 air divisions of our Han and Tang Imperial Air Force. ”

At present, the establishment of the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires is the largest air force division, each air force division has 4 air regiments, each air regiment has 4 flight groups, each flight group is composed of 4 flight squadrons, each flight squadron has 16 combat aircraft, and the standard equipment of the entire air force division is 1024 fighters.

Wang Gang did not expect that he would be appointed as the deputy chief of general staff of the Royal Air Force, you must know that the headquarters of the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires is composed of a total of four senior generals, namely the commander-in-chief, the deputy commander-in-chief, the chief of the general staff and the deputy chief of the general staff, and he is equivalent to entering the high-level ranks of the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires at once.

"Huang Shuai, although my establishment has always been in our Han and Tang Empire's Royal Air Force, after all, I have been lurking in the Liang Yan Empire for almost thirty years, is it appropriate for me to be the deputy chief of staff of the Royal Air Force?"

"The emperor said that the soldiers who have been lurking in the Liangyan Empire for a long time must be rewarded heavily after returning to the Han and Tang Empires.

Without your efforts, our Han and Tang Empires would not have been able to completely annex the Liangyan Empire so easily.

You have brought more than 2,000 fourth-generation fighters, more than 6,000 third-generation fighters, more than 1,000 long-range bombers, more than 100 AWACS aircraft, more than 100 electronic warfare aircraft and more than 700 large transport aircraft to our Royal Air Force. ”
