Chapter 282: Advance Force

After surrounding the urban area of Tianjing City, the army under Su Yi's command proposed to Liu Jiarui, the king who had just ascended the throne, the position of commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region in exchange for the army under Su Yi's command not to attack the urban area of Tianjing City.

Although Su Yi's conditions made Liu Jiarui extremely angry, in the end, after repeated consideration, Liu Jiarui still stubbornly agreed to appoint Su Yi as the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region of the Han Kingdom.

Of course, the reason why Liu Jiarui agreed to Su Yi's condition was mainly because Su Yi was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region, which was only nominal, and the current commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region, He Jianbin had already controlled the military power of the entire Southeast Military Region.

In addition, although He Jianbin did not openly rebel against King Liu Jiarui, he refused Liu Jiarui's order to ask the Southeast Military Region to send troops to quell the rebellion of the other three military regions.

After Su Yi received the document from the Ministry of National Defense officially appointing him as the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region, he did not immediately revoke the siege of the urban area of Tianjing City, but first dispatched an advance force to Qingzhou.

The 16 states in the southeast include Zezhou, Mizhou, Laizhou, Qizhou, Victoria, Zizhou, Mengzhou, Yangzhou, Hunzhou, Qingzhou, Yingzhou, Ruzhou, Xinzhou, Qianzhou, Dingzhou and Weizhou, of which Qingzhou is the closest to Tianjing among the 16 states in the southeast.

Although Su Yi decided not to attack the urban area of Tianjing City again, it was impossible for the troops surrounding the urban area of Tianjing City to rush to the sixteen southeastern states at once, not to mention anything else, just the hundreds of fourth-generation fighters outside Tianjing City, Su Yi had to find an airfield for them to transfer first.

On the morning of November 7, 1672 in the Han calendar, the advance troops rushing to the sixteen southeastern states set off, and at this time, the 300,000 army-type primary combat biochemical people on the side of the Tang Empire had all entered the world of the Han Kingdom, and the interstellar gate was also temporarily closed by Su Yi.

Su Yi's army troops in Tianjing City, the strength of the army immediately exceeded 450,000, because in the battle to capture the suburbs of Tianjing City, Su Yi's army troops captured a large number of weapons and equipment, of course, those captured light weapons, Su Yi is not good, but the captured large number of artillery, tanks, missile vehicles and other heavy weapons, but Su Yi's army units are equipped with a lot of firepower.

The advance force sent to Qingzhou consisted of a total of 50,000 people, including more than 10,000 clones, and the rest of the soldiers were cyborgs, and the advance force was also equipped with a large number of tanks and heavy artillery.

After Su Yi discussed with Xu Dongke, an all-round high-level elite combat biochemical person, it was decided that Xu Dongke would stay behind and command the troops in the entire Tianjing City area, and Su Yi would personally lead the leading troops into Qingzhou, which was the closest to Tianjing City among the sixteen states in the southeast.

There are hundreds of fourth-generation fighters in the three military airports on the outskirts of Tianjing City, and there will be no danger to the 400,000 army troops left in Tianjing City, but the advance force that enters Qingzhou is likely to encounter resistance from some troops in the Southeast Military Region, and Su Yi can open the interstellar gate at any time to enhance the strength of the advance force, you must know that in the system mall of the world on the side of the Tang Empire, there are still 580,000 army-type primary combat biochemical people who can be bought by Su Yi at any time.

At around 2 o'clock in the afternoon of 7 November, 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 of the Southeast Military Region, said in a deep voice to He Jianbin, commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region: "Commander-in-chief, news has come from Tianjing City that an advance force composed of tens of thousands of army units under Su Yi's command has set off this morning. ”

Hu Ke was originally the deputy chief of general staff of the Southeast Military Region, and in the operation to get rid of Li Mingbao, the former commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region, Hu Ke can be said to have made great contributions, personally injecting poison into Li Mingbao's body.

However, after Hook's uncle Su Xin took over the position of commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region, he did not promote Hook to the chief of general staff of the Southeast Military Region, and still let Hook serve as the deputy chief of staff of the Southeast Military Region, which made Hook dissatisfied with his uncle Su Xin.

Hook's dissatisfaction was soon noticed by He Jianbin, deputy commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region, and then He Jianbin continued to woo Hook in the name of the eldest prince Liu Jiarui, and finally made Hook fall to the side of the eldest prince Liu Jiarui, or it was more appropriate to form an alliance with the deputy commander-in-chief He Jianbin.

When Liu Jiarui launched a coup d'Γ©tat, with the cooperation of He Jianbin and Hu Ke, it was easy to control Su Xin, the previous commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region, and a large number of high-level military officials who did not take refuge in the two of them.

A fierce glint flashed in He Jianbin and said: "Su Yi's advance force should enter Qingzhou, the closest to Tianjing City, first, and immediately prepare a mechanized infantry division and five light infantry divisions stationed in Qingzhou, and strive to annihilate all of Su Yi's advance force." ”

Chief of General Staff Hu Ke said with some worry on his face at this time: "Commander-in-chief, are you sending some more troops to Qingzhou?" According to the combat effectiveness displayed by Su Yi's army in the Tianjing area, I am worried that relying only on one mechanized infantry division and five light infantry divisions in Qingzhou will not be able to stop Su Yi's advance force. ”

He Jianbin nodded slightly and said, "Chief of General Staff, how many more troops do you think you should send to Qingzhou?" ”

Chief of General Staff Hu Ke pondered for a while and said: "I feel that at least two more mechanized infantry divisions and five light infantry divisions must be dispatched, and two more armored tank brigades will be transferred into Qingzhou, after all, Su Yi also has tank troops in his hands, and he also has to strengthen the air defense capabilities of various units, Su Yi has hundreds of fourth-generation fighters outside Tianjing City, and there are twelve aircraft carrier fleets controlled by Su Yi on the southeast coast, while our entire Southeast Military Region only has three air divisions, and the sixteenth air force division is equipped with one hundred and twenty fighters, And all are third-generation fighters. ”

The words of the Chief of the General Staff Hu Ke made the commander-in-chief He Jianbin sigh, "The number of additional troops will be done according to what the Chief of the General Staff said, the air force in Su Yi's hands is too strong, the Tianjing Military Region is the strongest military region in the air force among the five major military regions of our Han Kingdom, with seven air divisions equipped with fourth-generation fighters, but now three air divisions have been completely annihilated, and the other four air divisions have also suffered heavy losses, and in the battle in the Tianjing City area, Su Yi did not even mobilize the carrier-based aircraft on the twelve aircraft carriers. ”

Chief of the General Staff Hu Ke also smiled bitterly and said: "God knows where Su Yi got so many fourth-generation fighters and hundreds of thousands of elite army units, forcing His Majesty the King to hand over the position of commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region to him." ”

Commander-in-Chief He Jianbin showed a fierce glint in his eyes, "Our Southeast Military Region is equipped with a large number of surface-to-air missiles, even if Su Yi has a powerful air force, don't want to bargain in front of our Southeast Military Region, not to mention that our Southeast Military Region has twelve mechanized infantry divisions, fifty-two light infantry divisions and ten armored tank brigades, as well as millions of army reserve officers and soldiers, Su Yi hit the head of our Southeast Military Region, and he will definitely regret it!" ”

Now the Ministry of National Defense has officially issued an order to appoint Su Yi as the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region, which suddenly made He Jianbin embarrassed, which made He Jianbin itch the root of his teeth for Su Yi and even King Liu Jiarui.

Chief of General Staff Hu Ke then hesitated and said: "Commander-in-Chief, now that His Majesty the King has appointed Su Yi to take over your position, it is equivalent to no longer taking into account the feelings of our Southeast Military Region. ”

Commander-in-Chief He Jianbin first nodded with satisfaction, and then sighed and said: "Liu Jiarui has gone too far this time, how can we say that our Southeast Military Region has been supporting him, and now his appointment is really chilling for our Southeast Military Region, so let's do it according to what the Chief of General Staff said!" ”

On the morning of November 8, 1672 in the Han calendar, Hu Ke, chief of the general staff of the Southeast Military Region of the Han Kingdom, held a press conference, announcing that the Southeast Military Region was temporarily separated from the sequence of the National Defense Army, and that the Southeast Military Region would form a rebel army to defeat Liu Jiarui, who usurped the throne, and at the same time, the Southeast Military Region did not recognize the appointment of Su Yi by the Ministry of National Defense.

So far, four of the five major military regions of the Han Kingdom have completely escaped the control of the new king Liu Jiarui, and what is worse is that the only Tianjing Military Region that the new king Liu Jiarui can still control has been beaten by the army under Su Yi, the Tianjing Military Region, which originally had seven air divisions, lost more than half of the fourth-generation fighters, and the army troops also lost more than 100,000 people, and even Tianjing City was surrounded by the army troops under Su Yi.

However, although the Northwest Military Region, Northeast Military Region, Southwest Military Region, and Southeast Military Region of the Han Kingdom successively broke away from the sequence of the National Defense Army and formed a crusade army, they did not really send troops to attack the Tianjing Military Region controlled by the new king Liu Jiarui.

The Northwest Military Region, the Northeast Military Region, and the Southwest Military Region are all busy integrating troops, and not all the armies of these three military regions are willing to join the crusading army, and even many of the generals who control the military power in these three military regions have been bought by Liu Jiarui before, while the Southeast Military Region has put more energy on dealing with the advance force under Su Yi.

The advance force brought by Su Yi was equipped with a large number of captured military trucks, which made the entire advance force march very fast, and after leaving the Tianjing City area, it took only two days to pass through Xianzhou between Tianjing City and Qingzhou, and enter Yong'an County in Qingzhou.

In addition to the area under the jurisdiction of the capital Tianjing City, the Tianjing Military Region also has five prefectures under its jurisdiction, and Xianzhou is one of the five prefectures under the jurisdiction of the Tianjing Military Region.

After receiving the order of the Ministry of Defense of the Han Kingdom, several Han army units stationed in Xianzhou did not stop the advance troops under Su Yi at all, and even gave them as much help as possible in some aspects.

After the advance troops entered Yong'an County in Qingzhou, they were immediately blocked by a mechanized infantry division and three light infantry divisions of the Southeast Military Region, and the three air force divisions under the Southeast Military Region also sent a large number of fighters to help.

Huangling Port, the largest military port in the Han Kingdom, is off the coast of Qingzhou, and in the waters near Huangling Port, there are seven aircraft carrier fleets controlled by the clone soldiers under Su Yi, so when the advance force was blocked, more than 200 carrier-based aircraft of the seven aircraft carrier fleets quickly flew over to provide air support for the advance force.

These carrier-based aircraft can all be classified as fourth-generation fighters, and the pilots of these carrier-based aircraft are all air force-type combat clones who can be called ace pilots, so after a fierce battle in the air, the three air divisions of the Southeast Military Region were quickly repulsed and lost dozens of fighters.

Without the air support of the three air divisions of the Southeast Military Region, although one mechanized infantry division and three light infantry divisions of the Southeast Military Region had the advantage in strength and also possessed a lot of surface-to-air missiles, they were still beaten back step by step by the army units and the navy's carrier-based aircraft units under Su Yi's command.

After a day and a night of fierce fighting, one mechanized infantry division and three light infantry divisions of the Southeast Military Region had to choose a strategic retreat, and at this time other supporting units of the Southeast Military Region had not yet caught up.

Subsequently, the advance troops under Su Yi took advantage of the victory to pursue, and at noon on November 11, 1672 in the Han calendar, they occupied Dongqiu City, the county capital of Yong'an County, Qingzhou.

He Jianbin, commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region, and Hu Ke, chief of the General Staff, were of course unwilling to let Su Yi reach into the southeast region of the Han Kingdom so easily, so they quickly mobilized two armored tank brigades, two mechanized infantry divisions and five light infantry divisions to launch a counterattack on Dongqiu City, and at the same time forced the three air divisions of the Southeast Military Region to support the army units counterattacking Dongqiu City at all costs.

After Su Yi entered Dongqiu City with the advance troops, he immediately opened the interstellar gate, returned to the super-large military camp of the Royal Army outside Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Empire, and bought all the remaining 580,000 army-type primary combat cyborg in the system mall in one go.

When the Southeast Military Region gathered two armored tank brigades, two mechanized infantry divisions, and five light infantry divisions to counterattack Dongqiu City, three days had passed since Su Yi entered Dongqiu City, and Su Yi had added about 220,000 army-type primary combat biochemical personnel to the advance force in these three days.

In addition, Su Yi also ordered the officers and men of the advance force to expand a civilian airport in Dongqiu City into a temporary field military airfield, and extracted 50 F-16 fighters and 50 F-15 fighters from the system goods warehouse, so that the advance force had more powerful air power.

So when the two armored tank brigades, two mechanized infantry divisions and five light infantry divisions of the Southeast Military Region launched a counterattack on Dongqiu City, they soon ran into a bloody head.
