At about eight o'clock in the evening of November 14, 1672 in the Han calendar, in a small building at the headquarters of the Southeast Military Region in Zhengtai City, the capital of Zizhou Prefecture of the Han Kingdom, Hu Ke, chief of the general staff, said to the commander-in-chief, He Jianbin, with a wry smile: "Commander-in-chief, today's counterattack on Dongqiu City is very difficult, and Sun Hongcheng, the commander of the 28th Mechanized Infantry Division who is responsible for commanding the operation, hopes to cancel the operational plan for the counterattack on Dongqiu City, so that the two armored tank brigades, two mechanized infantry divisions and five light infantry divisions on the front line, Able to retreat to the central area of Qingzhou for defense. ”

Sun Hongcheng, the commander of the 28th Mechanized Infantry Division, was appointed as the front-line commander of this counterattack on Dongqiu City, and Sun Hongcheng was also the confidant of the commander-in-chief He Jianbin .

He Jianbin, commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region, had an ugly face at this time, and after Hu Ke finished speaking, He Jianbin couldn't help but say with some annoyance: "What's the matter with Sun Hongcheng?" He has a total of 170,000 troops in his hands, and according to the information we have obtained, Su Yi's advance troops are at most about 50,000 troops, even if we don't have air supremacy, the 170,000 troops can't only attack Dongqiu City for one day, or even less than ten hours, they can't stand it! ”

Chief of the General Staff Hu Ke sighed and said: "The information we have received is probably inaccurate, Su Yi sent more than 50,000 advance troops to Qingzhou, according to Sun Hongcheng's telegram, the enemy's strength in Dongqiu City is likely to be more than their two armored tank brigades, two mechanized infantry divisions and five light infantry divisions combined." ”

When Commander-in-Chief He Jianbin heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "Impossible! The strength of the advance force under Su Yi has been verified in many ways! ”

Chief of General Staff Hu Ke shook his head and said: "Commander-in-chief, don't forget that Su Yi is in the Tianjing City area, but hundreds of thousands of troops have been made out of thin air, how many troops his advance force has, it is difficult for us to judge only based on intelligence, I believe that what Sun Hongcheng said is the truth." ”

Commander-in-Chief He Jianbin pondered for a moment and asked Hook: "What is the opinion of the Chief of the General Staff?" ”

Hook then said: "I feel that we should listen to Sun Hongcheng's advice, after all, Sun Hongcheng, as the commander-in-chief of the front, knows the situation on the front line better than us, and it seems that we have to continue to send more troops to Qingzhou." ”

Commander-in-Chief He Jianbin nodded slightly and said: "Then give Sun Hongcheng an order, let him lead the troops attacking Dongqiu City, retreat to the central area of Qingzhou for defense, and at the same time mobilize as many troops as possible into Qingzhou, and strive to use absolute superiority to drive the army under Su Yi out of Qingzhou!" ”

After a pause, He Jianbin asked again: "By the way, how is the situation of the three air divisions?" ”

Chief of General Staff Hu Ke sighed, "Today, the three air divisions combined to dispatch more than 100 fighters to try to cooperate with the army units to attack Dongqiu City, but the air force under Su Yi used the civilian airport in Dongqiu City to transform it into a military airport, and stationed at least 100 fourth-generation fighters. Three more air divisions crashed dozens of fighters, and after two air battles, the three air divisions of our Southeast Military District have lost almost a third of their fighters. ”

Commander-in-Chief He Jianbin frowned and said: "Aren't our army units equipped with a large number of surface-to-air missiles? With these surface-to-air missiles, can you restrain those fighters in Su Yi's hands? ”

Chief of the General Staff Hook shook his head and said: "Although the surface-to-air missiles have some roles, the performance of those fighters in Su Yi's hands is very good, and the pilots who fly those fighters are experienced, and the surface-to-air missiles equipped by our army units have not achieved great results in today's attack on Dongqiu City. In total, at least 1,500 surface-to-air missiles of various types were launched. ”

Commander-in-Chief He Jianbin couldn't help but furrow even more when he heard that the surface-to-air missiles equipped by his various army units did not pose much of a threat to the air force under Su Yi's command, "Chief of General Staff, do you have anything to do with those fighters in Su Yi's hands?" ”

Hook said with a bitter face: "I can't think of any way, the air force in Su Yi's hands is too strong, you must know that all the fourth-generation fighters of our Han Air Force are provided by Su Yi, it seems that Su Yi has left a more powerful backhand in the air force." ”

After discovering that the troops gathered in Dongqiu City under Su Yi were far from the 50,000 people mentioned in the intelligence, the troops of the Southeast Military Region attacking Dongqiu City quickly retreated to the central area of Qingzhou under the leadership of Sun Hongcheng, commander of the 28th Mechanized Infantry Division, the commander-in-chief of the front, and prepared to form a defensive line in the central area of Qingzhou to block the attack of the army under Su Yi's command.

Su Yi did not rush to command the troops to advance to the hinterland of Qingzhou, but ordered the expansion of the temporary military airfield in Dongqiu City, preparing to transfer hundreds of fighters outside Tianjing City, and also preparing to transfer all the 400,000 army troops on the outskirts of Tianjing City to Qingzhou.

Of course, the interstellar gate that was opened in Dongqiu City, Su Yi has not been closed, this time in the world of the Tang Empire, the 580,000 army-type primary combat biochemical people purchased from the system mall, Su Yi will all be transferred to the world of the Han Kingdom.

In this way, Su Yi's army forces in the territory of the Han Kingdom will have a total strength of more than one million.

Su Yi felt that there were millions of elite army troops, plus fighters from the Air Force and Navy, which should be enough to take down the Southeast Military Region, so he did not transfer those army-type junior combat biochemical people who served as officers and non-commissioned officers from the Tang Royal Army for the time being.

Now that the Tang Royal Army has tens of millions of troops, they have entered the territory of the Sharad Empire to fight, and because of the tactics of almost all the people in the Shalad Empire, the casualties of the Tang Royal Army are very large.

What's more, now Su Yi can buy 10,000 army-type combat clones and 160,000 army-type primary combat biochemical people every month, which makes Su Yi have no shortage of army troops in the world on the side of the Han Kingdom.

Moreover, in a series of battles to capture the suburbs of Tianjing City, the army units under Su Yi captured more than 40,000 officers and soldiers of the Han Army, and now these captured officers and soldiers of the Han Army have also been incorporated into the sequence of the army units under Su Yi.

In addition, due to the strong combat effectiveness displayed by the army under Su Yi and the huge influence of various enterprises under Su Yi in the sixteen southeastern states, many generals of the Southeast Military Region inevitably had some other thoughts.

On the evening of 20 November, at the garrison of the 28th Mechanized Infantry Division outside Kunling City, the county capital of Fushan County, Qingzhou, division commander Sun Hongcheng and division commander Sun Hongzhi of the 82nd Light Infantry Division welcomed two men in suits into Sun Hongcheng's temporary headquarters.

Sun Hongcheng is the cousin of Sun Hongzhi, the commander of the 82nd Light Infantry Division, and one of the people wearing a suit is Sun Hongcheng and Sun Hongzhi's cousin Sun Hongbin.

Sun Hongbin also has another identity, which is the president of the Fushan County Branch of Dahan Insurance Bank, and Dahan Insurance Bank is Su Yi's industry.

After the four of them entered the room, Sun Hongbin introduced to the two Tang brothers: "Fifth brother, starling brother, let me introduce to you, this is Liu Weijie, the vice president of our Dahan Insurance Bank head office, and this time President Liu represents General Su Yi. ”

Sun Hongcheng is fifth among his cousins, Sun Hongzhi is eighth among his cousins, and Sun Hongbin is twelfth.

Liu Weijie is actually an army-type combat clone, after Sun Hongbin introduced his identity, Liu Weijie couldn't help but smile and said: "Presumably the two generals should also know why I came today, the current situation in the sixteen states in the southeast, the two generals know well, as long as the two generals are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I promise to the two generals on behalf of my boss that the military positions of the two generals will not change, and each of the two generals will receive a reward of 30 million Han Yuan, and the subordinates of the two generals will also be based on the level of their positions, Get different amounts of rewards. ”

When Sun Hongcheng and Sun Hongzhi heard 30 million Han Yuan, the two couldn't help but swallow their saliva, 30 million Han Yuan was a huge amount of money that they couldn't earn in a lifetime.

In fact, Sun Hongcheng and Sun Hong volunteered to agree with Liu Weijie, and they had already expressed some of their attitudes, but the two of them had not yet made up their minds completely, and when the temptation of 30 million Han Yuan was placed in front of them, the fluctuations in the hearts of the two people were even greater.

Sun Hongcheng immediately sighed and said: "In fact, the division commanders and brigade commanders of our Southeast Military Region are not willing to be enemies with General Su Yi, but the military order is difficult, so we generals have to lead the troops under our command to start a fierce battle with General Su Yi's army." ”

Liu Weijie said with a smile: "The two generals, now my boss, have been appointed by the Ministry of National Defense as the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region. ”

Sun Hongbin immediately persuaded beside him: "Fifth brother, starling brother, don't hide it, now there are many generals in the Southeast Military Region, all of whom are willing to accept the solicitation of Admiral Su Yi, in fact, with the air force and aircraft carrier fleet in the hands of Admiral Su Yi, even if the troops of the entire Southeast Military Region are combined, it is difficult to resist the million-strong army under the command of Admiral Su Yi, Admiral Su Yi is unwilling to let the troops of the Southeast Military Region suffer too many casualties, so he will throw an olive branch to the fifth brother, starling brother, and many generals of the Southeast Military Region, fifth brother, starling brother, Seize this opportunity! ”

Sun Hongzhi, the commander of the 82nd Light Infantry Division, immediately gritted his teeth and said to Sun Hongcheng: "Fifth brother, the twelfth is right, with the strength in the hands of General Su Yi, our Southeast Military Region combined can't beat it, let's be wise!" ”

Sun Hongcheng said with a wry smile: "It seems that I can only be sorry for the old chief." ”

Sun Hongcheng was originally a subordinate of He Jianbin , the current commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region, and when He Jianbin was the regiment commander, Sun Hongcheng was a company commander under He Jianbin and Sun Hongcheng was able to become the commander of the 28th Mechanized Infantry Division, which was also promoted by He Jianbin single-handedly.

Liu Weijie then opened his mouth and said to Sun Hongcheng: "General Sun, you are now appointed as the commander-in-chief of the front, and all the army units of the Southeast Military Region gathered in the central part of Qingzhou are under your control, if you can bring these army units to my boss, the reward for you will be increased by another 100 million Han Yuan, and the rewards received by the generals of other army units will also be paid according to the level of military rank." ”

When Sun Hongcheng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Governor Liu, rest assured, the extra 100 million, I, Sun Hongcheng, will decide!" ”

On November 24, 1672 in the Han calendar, a shocking news spread throughout the Han Kingdom.

Under the leadership of Sun Hongcheng, commander of the 28th Mechanized Infantry Division, the commander-in-chief of the front, the four mechanized infantry divisions, 12 light infantry divisions, and three armored tank brigades of the Southeast Military Region, which were gathered in central Qingzhou, announced that they would abide by the orders of the Ministry of National Defense, recognize Su Yi as the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region, and accept the command of Commander-in-Chief Su Yi.

In this way, the defense line of the Southeast Military Region in Qingzhou was immediately collapsed, and by 28 November, the entire Qingzhou had fallen into the hands of Su Yi, and in the process of taking over the entire Qingzhou, four more light infantry divisions chose to surrender to Su Yi.

"Smack-" He Jianbin, commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region, punched hard and slammed it on the table in front of him, "Sun Hongcheng, a white-eyed wolf, wasted my trust in him so much, but he surrendered to Su Yi with hundreds of thousands of troops!" ”

Chief of General Staff Hu Ke said bitterly: "Now that all the troops we gathered in Qingzhou have surrendered to Su Yi, and then the army troops under Su Yi can choose to attack Mengzhou, Yangzhou and Hunzhou, all of which border Qingzhou, and our army units in these three states add up, there is only one mechanized infantry division and four light infantry divisions. ”

Commander-in-Chief He Jianbin gritted his teeth and said: "We must immediately send additional troops to these three states, and at the same time, let the garrisons of these three states immediately call up reserve officers and soldiers from all over the country, and we must block the army units under Su Yi in Mengzhou, Yangzhou and Hunzhou." ”

Chief of General Staff Hu Ke said a little gloomily: "There is no problem in sending additional troops to Mengzhou, Yangzhou and Hunzhou, and it is okay to recruit reserve officers and soldiers, but I am worried that the generals of our Southeast Military Region will follow Sun Hongcheng's example. ”
