The total strength of the three-state coalition army on the southern front is about 250,000, of which 50,000 are deployed in Guan Chongcheng in the strategic rear, and 30,000 are deployed in the three towns of the southern front.

The remaining seventeen were concentrated on the Mihe front, and the Mihe defense line was built around the three major ferries such as the Wuyu Ferry, which was one of the T-shaped defense lines.

However, after the Mihe defense line was broken through, only 100,000 of the 170,000 people deployed on the front line managed to escape back to the three towns on the southern front.

This means that in the past three days, the Tri-State Coalition has lost at least 70,000 troops, and that's not all.

The most critical thing is that they also lost a large amount of heavy equipment, the most important of which was more than 200 rear-loading guns.

As for other light weapons and ammunition and the like, that's not to mention the countless losses.

Many of the routs who fled to the three towns on the southern front were empty-handed, and they didn't even have a rifle.

This made it doubly difficult for the defenders in the three towns on the southern front to hold the three towns on the southern front.

This is also the reason why in the past three days, the Jingzhou Front of the Daheng Unification Army did not rush to attack the three towns on the southern front, but carried out a roundabout outflanking and interception operation around the periphery of the three towns on the southern front, just to eliminate more enemy forces on their way to escape.

Prima facie, the strategy was a success!

On the third day of the battle, with the enemy's comprehensive retreat, and at the same time, the Third Army, the Fourth Army and the Seventh Army have completed the strategic encirclement of the three towns on the southern front, so it is not difficult to guess the next battle, naturally it is to take the three towns on the southern front and pull out the nails at this moment.

As for the main force bypassing the three towns on the southern front, this option has never been considered by the Daheng unified army.

Because you can't bypass it, if you want to bypass it, you have to leave at least a large number of troops to contain these enemy forces, and after leaving a large number of troops, there are not many troops left to bypass, and it is impossible to threaten the follow-up Guan Chongcheng and other areas, if you only bypass part of the troops, in fact, the Daheng unified army is already doing this.

A large number of cavalry troops had actually bypassed the three towns on the southern front and marched towards the north.

In this case, Liang Chenglei also personally took his headquarters personnel to the three towns of the southern front and personally commanded the army to launch an attack on the three towns of the southern line.

In the first three days, the Third Army was the main force of operations, and the casualties were not small, and at the same time, the soldiers were tired and consumed a lot of ammunition, which needed to be corrected and replenished.

Therefore, the main force of this offensive operation is the Fourth Army, and at the same time, the Seventh Army and the Eighth Army will also participate, and the Third Army is ready to be used as a strategic reserve.

It seems that there are only three armies, nine infantry divisions, and only about 1230,000 front-line troops.

But the nine divisions were supported by more than 500 barreled guns, including a naval artillery regiment drawn from the First Artillery Fleet, and naval guns of 75 mm and 100 mm naval guns directly removed from battleships, and the artillery was naval sailors.

This time, the Daheng Unification Army is still ready to rely on its absolute firepower superiority to forcibly open the enemy's defense line and divide and encircle the enemy.

On 2 June, after several days of preparation, especially after the artillery units were in place, the Daheng unified army launched an all-out attack on the three towns on the southern front.

Once again, hundreds of artillery pieces fired countless shells at the enemy positions, blowing them to shreds.

The Fourth Division, the main force of the Fourth Army, as one of the few core main forces in the whole army, undertook the most important task of attacking fortifications, and they needed to forcibly open the gap from the southeast front and fight in.

In this offensive operation, the Daheng Unification Army once again used the key breakthrough tactics that they rarely used.

More than 200 artillery pieces were mobilized to provide fire support for the 4th Division, and even more accurately for the 7th Brigade under the 4th Division, because the main attack was the position in front of the 7th Brigade, a position only about 900 meters wide, and the enemy troops stationed in this position were actually only one battalion.

Under the bombardment of 200-meter artillery and the impact of an entire brigade, a battalion of the enemy's military district could not stop it at all, and it was instantly engulfed in the powerful forces and firepower.

The Daheng Unified Army, once again through the method of concentrated breakthrough, formed an absolute superiority in strength and firepower in the local area, and then quickly broke through the enemy's position, repeating the key breakthrough tactics in the Battle of Qingdecheng that year.

When the 7th Brigade, supported by strong friendly fire, forcibly tore through the enemy's line and opened a gap of more than 900 meters, the 8th Brigade quickly followed, followed by the 6th Division.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the entire southeastern defense line of the enemy army completely collapsed!

Although the enemy once again retreated to the city and tried to hold it again.

However, the three towns on the southern front are said to be towns, but after all, they are only three small towns, and the urban area is very limited, and they cannot even accommodate so many enemy troops.

The areas where the enemy and the enemy are fighting are actually in the wilderness outside the city.

When the enemy army is forced to retreat to a small urban area, it also means that the enemy army has no way to retreat.

That night, due to the night, the need to readjust the deployment of the troops, and the need to replenish the ammunition of the troops, especially the artillery units, the Fourth Army, the Seventh Army, and the Eighth Army of the Jingzhou Front of the Daheng Unification Army took the initiative to stop the pace of attack.

This gave the defenders a rare respite.

But the next day, on the 3rd of June, the Fourth Army and other troops launched another large-scale attack.

On the afternoon of June 3, the Fourth Army captured Yanming Town, one of the three towns on the southern front, and the last remnants of more than 30,000 soldiers in the town were forced to surrender.

On the morning of June 4, the Seventh Army captured the town of Fengrong, the most important of the three towns on the southern front, and captured the most fortified railway station in the defense line of the three towns, and the town and about 20,000 remnants of the nearby troops surrendered.

That night, about 70,000 remnants of the northern deployment in the three towns of the southern front took the initiative to abandon their positions and break through to the north!

However, at noon the next day, it was harassed and intercepted by the Fourth Cavalry Division and the Second Cavalry Division, and the breakthrough speed was slow.

On June 6, the Second Cavalry Corps made a detour and intercepted the enemy's 70,000 remnants fleeing north!

In the face of the total number of more than 20,000 in front, the interception of tens of thousands of cavalry on the side, and the tens of thousands of infantry units of the United Army in close pursuit, these 70,000 remnants have been completely encircled, and there is almost no possibility of breaking through.

The possibility of escaping under the noses of the cavalry, which numbered 30,000 men, is almost negligible!

That night, the enemy began to send representatives to discuss surrender.

At about three o'clock in the morning of June 7, after negotiations between the two sides, the 70,000 remnants of the Sanzhou Coalition Army, who were in the encirclement and had no escape, and hardly had any heavy weapons, and even light weapons had been lost in large quantities, announced that they would throw themselves into the arms of the Daheng Unification Army anyway and contribute their strength to the Daheng Unification Army.

At this time, the 250,000 troops deployed by the Sanzhou Coalition Army on the southern front, except for the 20,000 troops in Guan Chongcheng in the rear, the remaining 230,000 troops were all wiped out!
