Chapter 1143: State of War (3)
Axillary people are not afraid of bladed, blunt, or penetrating damage, but they can kill or maim them by any other means.
Based on the principle that they can't kill you and cripple you, Bailiyan uses a lot of throwing explosives and mines, and digs trenches and tunnels to avoid shelling, and does not come into direct contact with you at all.
Due to the extreme inconvenience of transporting troops from thousands of miles, the armpit people have not been able to concentrate more forces in the past year and a half to impose a large-scale blockade and clearance of inland areas outside their strongholds.
The Changsun Kingdom is located in the Chidao and low latitude areas, which is a typical tropical rainforest and warm and humid plain landform, and the high temperature and heat seriously restrict the armpit people from continuing to fight.
At the same time, the dense river did not bring convenience to the armpit fleet, but on the contrary, a series of military measures formulated by the military advisers of the Xian army dealt a heavy blow to the armpit fleet that invaded the inland river.
For example, hundreds of shock rafts loaded with iron angles and down the river can do amazing damage to wooden warships, and even sink only one of your ships, which will make you feel sad, let alone do it every day and night.
In addition, you can't see the tightrope between two rivers, and when your boat passes, you tear off your mast, and it's not one or two, it's often three or four.
Another example is the storage of water upstream, when you hit this place, I will break the embankment and discharge the flood, and put hundreds or thousands of impact rafts down the river.
What's more ruthless is to cut off the flow, take advantage of the low-lying terrain and downhill slope that may exist near the river in advance, dig the waterway, and then bury tons of explosives on the river bank, pile up a large number of stones, and when you are outdated, the explosives will be detonated first.
At this time, the river bursts, and the river overflows to the pre-dug waterway, draining into the depression and downhill, and the warships driving on the river are carried into the ditch by the current, so that you can't take precautions.
So far, the armpit people have lost a total of 409 ships of various types, and about 40 or so have been destroyed in this way.
Although it only accounted for one-eighth of the total victory, even Oka had to deny that this was the first time since the slaughter of humanity, and it was also unprecedented, that it had lost four hundred and nine warships, which was more than six times the total losses in the war to exterminate humanity in the past hundred years.
"Unforgivable, unforgivable these strange beasts!"
Oka slammed the table in anger and cursed hysterically, when Masacolo said:
"So far, the Communists have lost 58,900 men, of whom 53,600 have been killed by alien beasts in the southeastern seas. I think that Mollefis must be dispatched to avoid more casualties. ”
"Molefis will arrive soon, now what you have to do is to tighten your forces, consolidate the forward base, and transfer sixty-five percent of the reinforcements that have arrived here to deal with this group of brutes, the previous strategy is not working, you must use a new strategy, understand."
"Understood, Your Excellency Marshal."
"Molefis" is the transliteration of the human mutant beastman, and due to the unfavorable situation of the war, the armpit people decided to recoordinate the allies and send the commander of the communist alliance to fight the alliance of governors.
By the end of that year, the total number of army troops dispatched south from the northern hemisphere by the armpit men had reached 890,000, and the number of ships had recovered to more than 1,200 and more than 10 ironclad ships.
A large number of the latest weapons and equipment, as well as more newly manufactured ironclad ships, rushed to the Central Plains at full speed, and more armpit men and elite legions will continue to pour into the south, and the war will soon enter a new stage.
Before that, Oka needed to inspect the battle situation in various places, gather troops, and complete a new strategic deployment.
The time soon came to the first month of 655, due to the resistance in 654 and the various difficulties of the armpit people, or more thanks to the military deterrence of the Xian State, the hands and feet of the armpit people were restrained, and the Central Plains in 654 was still "calm", except for the Changsun Kingdom, which was not happy.
In just one year, countries have successively built hundreds of 10,000 jin furnaces, 30 50,000 jin furnaces, and Bailiyan provided 480 sets of molds for wooden-handled grenades, formulas for lead fire pipes and some explosives, and taught manufacturing technology.
For a whole year, the output of grenades in various countries increased rapidly at a rate of 100,000 per month, and when it was low, how did the princes of various countries make more than 2 million grenades of inferior and rough quality, mixed with black powder, and as for the effect, it is another matter.
But it is certain that this number will only increase exponentially the following year
At the same time, the Ligong faction also made a lot of money, and its bow and crossbow modification kits were widely popular, and more than 89,000 sets of kits were sold in one year, and Bailiyan sold more than 12 million rounds of various types of ammunition for this purpose.
The first month of 655 was no different from previous years, it was the second first month after Jiang Yu's accession to the throne, unlike his father Jiang Hai, he liked to be lively, and he rarely held state banquets unless it was a major event with political symbols.
Of course, being held at the door of the house for two consecutive years, the opening banquet is obviously not a good sign, but the fundamental reason is still Jiang Zhen, who has lived in the shadow of Xihuan, Bailiyan, and his father Jiang Hai for many years, and he has a deep-rooted dislike for political activities without dry goods, because he has participated in too many political activities without substance, and he has hated this kind of social activity.
The temperature of the first month has not subsided, and the refugees imported from the Changsun Kingdom continue to impact the countries of the Central Plains, and the Xianguo country, as a paradise and safe harbor, has now become a refugee center.
The barbaric and hostile relations of the patriotic country have now become one of their advantages, and almost less than 10 percent of the refugees "dared" to pour into the patriotic country, and the refugees who poured into the salty country accounted for 60 percent of the total.
The three counties of Sangbei, Qingtian and Sangnam have been unable to repeat the epidemic, and the epidemics of smallpox, malaria, cholera, and plague have risen, and Bailiyan has allocated 2 million doses of vaccinia vaccine, 1 million doses of Zhulan Kuisu, 500,000 doses of Weishi No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 antibiotics, as well as other traditional herbal prescriptions, Chinese patent medicines, and powders, and transported thousands of them to the three counties by truck, and at the same time dispatched medical teams and anti-chemical brigades to various places to suppress the epidemic.
The same drugs were also allocated for sale, and due to industrial-scale production and political reasons, the price was several notches lower than six years earlier.
Of course, these advanced drugs need supporting basic medical equipment, but also need professional doctors, so at the beginning of last year, after the United Army Academy was established, Bailiyan expanded the Yicaotang branch of Chenling, and accepted the selection of Langzhong from various countries to go to Shanling to learn advanced medical skills and treatment concepts.
At the same time, Langzhong was recruited from various countries to open a one-year comprehensive treatment and a three-year crash course in basic surgery, and the expenses were borne by the Xianguo Imperial Court, but the condition was that they must obey the distribution of the Xianguo.
In mid-February, the last rail of the Ganfu County Main Line Railway was fixed, and the first arterial traffic artery running through the west line of the land in Xianguo was completely opened.
After building nearly 4,000 miles of railways in five years, four railways from Ganfu to Qingtian, Pengyuan to Sangnan, Dujun Dongjun to Dujun Xijun to Xianxi, and Chengling to Beihai Dingyang began to be built in April of that year.
From March to April, information was received from various sources one after another, and the armpit garrisons entrenched along the east and west flanks of the Changsun Peninsula were suddenly reduced, and more than 60 percent of the reinforcements were withdrawn in the second half of last year.
In view of the virtue of the eldest grandson, Bai Liyan has more reason to believe that they are trying to concentrate their forces and carry out a strong push on the linear front, both from the coastal areas of the northern line from east to west, and carry out a dragnet sweep city by city.
