After the airship unit of the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire bombed the three newly formed infantry regiments of the Heller Army, Yu Yuan, the emperor of the Heller Kingdom, immediately contacted Su Yi through various channels, hoping to negotiate an armistice, but was rejected by Su Yi, who declared that he would only accept the unconditional surrender of Heller.

Yu Yuan, the emperor of the Heller Kingdom, found that the armistice negotiations could not be reached, so he had to keep sending telegrams to the Emperor Edgrew of the Noomi Empire, hoping that the Noomi Empire could find a way to save the situation in the Hele Kingdom.

Early in the morning of April 1, 3013 in the Tang calendar, the emperor of the Noomi Empire, Edgru, summoned Prime Minister Julian into the palace.

"The War Department sent me a telegram that the 36th Infantry Division of the Royal Army of Noomi stationed in Lindancheng, the capital of Heller Province to Lixing Province, had more than 34,000 killed as of 8 o'clock yesterday evening, and nearly 7,000 wounded, and there were only more than 10,000 officers and soldiers left who could continue to fight, including 2 or 3,000 lightly wounded, and worse, the ammunition of the 36th Infantry Division was about to run out. Emperor Edgru's voice was a little heavy.

Prime Minister Julian sighed and said: "Your Majesty, in the case of more than eighty percent casualties, the 36th Infantry Division of our Noomi Royal Army can still continue to fight, which has created a miracle, and now the three infantry corps of the Heller Army to reinforce Lindancheng have been bombed by the airship troops of the Su Army, and the whole army has collapsed, and the Heller Army has not been able to allocate many troops to support Lindancheng for the time being, so the minister feels that it is best to let the remaining officers and soldiers of the 36th Infantry Division break through as soon as possible." ”

After a pause, Prime Minister Julian continued: "A heroic unit like the 36th Infantry Division should not be allowed to suffer the fate of total annihilation, even if it can withdraw some officers and soldiers. ”

Emperor Edgrew did not immediately say that he would not let the 36th Infantry Division of the Royal Army break through the siege, but asked Prime Minister Julian in a deep voice: "That Su Yi rejected Heller's request for armistice negotiations, and declared that he would only accept the unconditional surrender of Heller, Prime Minister, do you think the situation in Heller can be saved?" ”

Prime Minister Julian shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the fighting will of the Heller Army is too weak, and the combat effectiveness of the Su Army's army is too strong, and the Eleventh Infantry Regiment sent by our Noomi Royal Army to the country of Heller has only been set off for a few days, and it is far from being able to quench the thirst of the near, it is likely that the eleventh infantry regiment of our Royal Army of Heller has not yet entered the country of Heller, and the army of the Su family has already occupied the entire territory of the country of Heller." ”

Emperor Edgru's face suddenly flashed a trace of gloom, "Convey my will to the 36th Infantry Division, let the 36th Infantry Division break through from Lindan City as soon as possible, and then no longer need to pay attention to any orders from the royal family of Hele Kingdom, and strive to withdraw all the way to the territory of Wupe Country, in addition, I allow the wounded who cannot break through to surrender to the Su Army, and when the wounded return to the motherland, their status is not prisoners of war, but heroes of our Noomi Empire!" ”

Prime Minister Julian's expression suddenly relaxed a lot at this time, "The minister must send someone to negotiate with the Su family army as soon as possible to rescue the heroes of our Noomi Empire, so the Eleventh Infantry Regiment sent to the country of Hele, as well as those transport fleets that transport a large number of weapons and ammunition, will continue to rush to the port of the country of Upe?" ”

Emperor Edgrew waved his hand and said, "Since distant water can't quench the thirst of the near, there is no need to let the Eleventh Infantry Regiment and the escorted Noomi Royal Navy fleet take risks. ”

"Yes, the minister understands what His Majesty means."

"When negotiating with Su Jiajun, try to protect the interests of our Noomi Empire in the country of Hele, and I hope that Su Yi's appetite is not too big."

At noon on April 1, in a basement in Lindancheng, the capital of Heller Province to Lihang Province, the commander of the 36th Infantry Division of the Royal Army of Noomi was covered in gauze in many places, and said to the deputy division commander Lukoya while coughing: "The War Department has sent a decree from Your Majesty, asking our 36th Infantry Division to break through from Lindan City as soon as possible, and no longer accept the orders of the royal family of Heller, and then withdraw all the way to the Upe Country, in addition to Your Majesty and the War Department, An order was also sent to allow the wounded to surrender to the Su Army, cough cough. ”

The deputy division commander Lukoya glanced at the thigh injured by the explosion of the division commander Sivero, gritted his teeth and said: "Division commander, don't worry, I will bring you to the country of Upe even if I work hard!" ”

Division Commander Sivero shook his head calmly, "Ahem, Lukoya, my injuries can only become a burden to the breakthrough troops, so we can only hand over the 36th Infantry Division of the Noomi Royal Army to you in the future." ”

The deputy division commander Lukoya heard the death intention of the division commander Civero from the words of the division commander Sivero, and hurriedly said: "Division commander, even if you stay, you can't choose that path!" Your Majesty and the War Department have already allowed the wounded to ...... to the Su family's army."

The division commander Sivero interrupted the words of the deputy division commander Lukoya, "Since the formation of the Noomi Royal Army, there has not been a single division commander who surrendered to the enemy, cough cough, I don't want to break this precedent, I will lead the wounded left behind, insist on fighting until the last moment, and at the same time, I can also contain part of the Su family's army for the breakthrough force." ”

Lu Keya, the deputy division commander, said in a resolute tone: "Division commander, then I am willing to stay and fight side by side with you!" ”

"Ahem, Lukoya, the number of our 36th Infantry Division can't disappear in Lindancheng, your task is even more difficult, you have to take the seeds of our 36th Infantry Division out, so that we can rebuild our 36th Infantry Division, by the way, when you return to China to see my wife and two sons, tell them that I will always be with them."

"Woo, division commander, you can break through with me!"

"Lukoya, after so many days of fighting, you should also know how strong the combat effectiveness of the Su family army is, in order to ensure the success of the breakthrough and leave the seeds for our 36th Infantry Division, all the wounded who are unable to move cannot join the breakthrough force, and I, the division commander, are no exception, cough cough, carry out the order!"

In the end, the deputy division commander Lukoya, under the toughness of the division commander Civero, could only leave with the vast majority of the uninjured officers and soldiers of the division headquarters.

The division commander Sivero found that the two adjutants and the two guards beside him did not leave, and immediately said with a gloomy face: "Didn't you hear my order?" I demand that all the personnel of the division headquarters who are not injured must join the breakout force! ”

At this time, an adjutant said calmly: "Division commander, as your adjutant and guard, there is no reason to leave at this time, if the division commander insists on us leaving, the four of us can only injure ourselves." ”

The division commander Sivero looked at the four young faces, smiled bitterly and said, "You are all still young, there is really no need to stay." ”

Another adjutant said: "Division commander, if the four of us leave you to join the breakout force, even if we can survive in the end, we can only live in shame in the future." ”

The division commander Sivero then sighed, "The four of you immediately organize the lightly wounded of the division and regimental headquarters to enter the position, and if there are seriously wounded who are willing to participate in the battle, they will also be carried to the position, and before that, it must be reiterated once that Your Majesty and the War Department have issued an order to allow the wounded to surrender to the Su family's army." ”

At four o'clock in the afternoon of April 1, more than 7,000 remnants of the 36th Infantry Division of the Noomi Royal Army suddenly and quickly assembled in the northern part of Lindan City, and then rushed out of Lindan City and broke through all the way to the north.

The peripheral fortifications in the north of Lindan City are still partially controlled by the Hele Army, so the external passage of Lindan City was not completely besieged by the Su army, which is also the tactic adopted by the Su army in order to capture Lindan City as soon as possible.

The breakout of the 36th Infantry Division of the Royal Army of Noomi did not inform the three standing infantry divisions of the Heller Army guarding Lindan.

Originally, because of the loss of 60,000 or 70,000 people, the three standing infantry divisions of the Heller State were already a little unable to bear it, but now they found that even the backbone of the Noomi Army had fled, and where was the confidence to continue to resist, and soon tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Heller Army also began to flee from the gap deliberately left by the Su army.

The three field infantry divisions of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire, which besieged Lindancheng, found that the enemy had finally begun to flee, and while sending troops to pursue the fleeing enemy, they began to clear the remnants of the enemy in Lindancheng.

However, the task of clearing out the remnants of the enemy is still not easy, those officers and soldiers of the Hele Army in Lindan City who did not have time to escape have chosen to surrender very wisely, but almost all of the wounded soldiers of the Noomi Royal Army who stayed in Lindan City chose to fight to the end, and even many seriously wounded soldiers of the Noomi Royal Army, after finding that the soldiers of the Su family army were approaching, they pulled the grenades on their bodies, hoping to pull a few more pads.

After most of the surviving officers and soldiers of the 36th Infantry Division of the Noomi Royal Army broke through, the clean-up operation in Lindancheng lasted for two whole days, and finally the Su army only captured more than 200 seriously wounded soldiers of the 36th Infantry Division of the Noomi Royal Army who had completely lost their resistance, and the seriously wounded commander of the 36th Infantry Division of the Noomi Royal Army was killed in the battle.

In this battle to capture Lindancheng, the three field infantry divisions of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire that participated in the battle combined with more than 45,000 casualties.

More than 70,000 of the three standing infantry divisions of the Heller Army were killed, about 60,000 were captured, and less than 20,000 escaped, and most of the officers and men of the Heller Army who escaped scattered on their own.

Most of the more than 7,000 people of the 36th Infantry Division of the Noomi Royal Army successfully escaped, and then the 36th Infantry Division of the Noomi Royal Army retreated all the way north and finally entered the territory of the Upe Kingdom.
